131: Chapter 131 The Nine Trials of the Sea God

Seeing that a conflict was about to erupt, a voice came from high in the sky: "Sea Horse, stop."

Before the voice faded, a red light flashed in the air.

As the light dissipated, a woman dressed in gorgeous red robes appeared; it was none other than Sea God Island's High Priestess Bo Saixi.

"Greetings, High Priestess!" Sea Horse Douluo, upon seeing this, hurriedly restrained his Soul Power and bowed in salute.

Why would the High Priestess suddenly intervene? Did she not know that the other party was from Spirit Hall?

"Hmm." High Priestess Bo Saixi nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Ji Xuan and the others, a complex expression flashing in the depths of her eyes.

Just a short while ago, she had received an oracle from the Sea God inside the Sea God Temple.

The Sea God told her that if anyone from Spirit Hall came to participate in the trials, she was not to make things difficult for them and should let them be tested according to the rules.

This oracle left High Priestess Bo Saixi completely bewildered.

Spirit Hall and Sea God Island were mortal enemies, and the Sea God had always protected Sea God Island; why would He issue such an oracle?

What High Priestess Bo Saixi did not know was that the Sea God had long grown tired of the constraints of His God Position.

He had waited bitterly for many years, finally encountering someone capable of inheriting His God Position, so how could He care where the other party came from?

He only wanted to shed His God Position and leave as soon as possible, so naturally, He did not want to miss this rare opportunity for a Legacy because of the old grudges between Sea God Island and Spirit Hall.

In the Sea God's eyes, the people of Sea God Island were merely believers who provided Power Of Faith; as long as the God Position Legacy could be completed smoothly, everything else was not worth mentioning.

It was precisely because He knew of the hostility the people of Sea God Island held toward Spirit Hall that He specifically issued the oracle to avoid ruining His important Legacy.

High Priestess Bo Saixi looked at Sea Horse Douluo: "Sea Horse, test their trial Rank according to the rules."

"Yes, High Priestess." Although Sea Horse Douluo was puzzled, he dared not disobey the High Priestess's orders.

He said in a deep voice: "Stand in the order you just climbed the platform."

As he spoke, he pressed his hands down into the air, and a burst of energy quietly dispersed; the surging sea surface instantly returned to calm, and the light screen at the top also dissipated along with it.

Subsequently, Sea Horse Douluo walked to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, his expression devout: "Next person."

Feng Xiaotian stepped forward and stood still behind Sea Horse Douluo.

Sea Horse Douluo raised his hands to his chest, and a faint blue light gradually appeared in his palms.

Immediately after, the light at the base of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar flashed, and a blue light spread up along the pillar.

A moment later, Sea Horse Douluo turned around and pointed his right hand at Feng Xiaotian.

A blue beam of light instantly shot out, enveloping Feng Xiaotian's body.

The color of the light beam changed, gradually turning from blue to white, and then transforming from white to light purple.

Immediately after, the purple deepened continuously, finally turning into a deep black.

In the next second, six black beams of light shot out from the light beam, condensing into six square light screens in front of Feng Xiaotian.

On each light screen were some golden characters, which were the contents and requirements of the trial.

A moment later, the six light screens suddenly converged, turning into six points of black light that submerged into Feng Xiaotian's forehead.

A black hexagram mark immediately appeared on his forehead.

Sea Horse Douluo's pupils contracted suddenly, his heart filled with shock.

One must know that over so many years, the number of people who could obtain the Black-Grade Six Trials was only in the double digits.

And those who finally succeeded in passing the trials were only seven, which were the current Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo.

But he felt not a shred of sympathy in his heart; after all, the other party was from Spirit Hall, and if they couldn't pass the trial, the outcome would be erasure.

Immediately after, Huo Wushuang stepped forward to test, which was also a Black-Grade Six Trial.

Then it was Huo Wu, and her test result was also a Black-Grade Six Trial.

Three consecutive Black-Grade Six Trials left Sea Horse Douluo in constant shock.

"Next." Sea Horse Douluo said in a deep voice.

Shui Binger stepped forward slowly. Under the shroud of blue light, the color change far exceeded that of the previous few, finally turning red.

Seven red beams of light shot out, condensing into seven red light screens. After the light screens converged, a red seven-pointed star mark appeared on Shui Binger's forehead.

At this moment, both Sea Horse Douluo and High Priestess Bo Saixi felt extremely conflicted.

Top-Grade Seven Trials were extremely rare in the history of Sea God Island, and there had never been a record of failure.

As long as one could successfully pass, they would be the successor to the Sea God Island High Priest, and in the future, the person in charge of Sea God Island.

Did this not mean that in the future, Sea God Island would be reduced to an affiliated force of Spirit Hall?

Afterwards, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Shui Yueer stepped forward to test in turn, and all obtained the Black-Grade Five Trial Rank.

Finally, it was Ji Xuan's turn.

Unsurprisingly, Ji Xuan's light beam finally turned gold.

Nine golden beams of light shot out from the sacred pillar, condensing into nine golden light screens in front of him.

The light screens converged and submerged into Ji Xuan's forehead; a golden trident pattern slowly emerged, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"What trial is this?" Sea Horse Douluo asked in surprise.

He had guarded the Seahorse Sacred Pillar for many years and had never seen a golden trial.

"This is the Seagod Nine Trials." High Priestess Bo Saixi's voice came from high in the sky.

Only at this moment did she finally understand why the Sea God had issued that oracle.

Among this group of people, there was actually the successor chosen by the Sea God.

High Priestess Bo Saixi's eyes were full of unwillingness and struggle.

The final requirement of the Sea God Ninth Trial was the sacrifice of the High Priest.

And she had always loved Tang Chen deeply in her heart, longing to see him again, so she was naturally unwilling to leave like this.

Not to mention that this Sea God successor was from Spirit Hall.

High Priestess Bo Saixi had already made a decision in her heart.

She dared not disobey the Sea God's will, so she would not actively make things difficult for Ji Xuan, but she would definitely not go easy on him either.

As long as Ji Xuan lacked the ability himself and could not pass the trial, then it would not violate the Sea God's will, and she would not have to sacrifice herself.

"What is your name?" High Priestess Bo Saixi looked at Ji Xuan.

"Ji Xuan."

"Ji Xuan, remember, for your Seagod Nine Trials, you must complete at least one trial content every year, otherwise, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

"I will remember." Ji Xuan nodded slightly.

High Priestess Bo Saixi turned her gaze to Sea Horse Douluo: "Sea Horse, take them to their accommodation. Remember, treat them well according to the highest standards, without any errors."

"Yes, High Priestess." Sea Horse Douluo bowed and responded.

At this moment, although the resentment in his heart had not completely disappeared, he understood the gravity of the situation.

On Sea God Island, the Sea God's will was greater than everything, even the deep blood feud with Spirit Hall.

Since the Sea God had selected Ji Xuan as the successor, he would naturally show respect to Ji Xuan.

Subsequently, Sea Horse Douluo led Ji Xuan and his group toward Seahorse City.

Although Seahorse City was only a small city, with a resident population of only over a thousand, it had all kinds of shops.

The most eye-catching thing in the city was the City Lord's Mansion located in the center.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, besides Sea Horse Douluo himself, there were more than ten purple-robed Spirit Masters responsible for daily affairs and guard duties.

After Sea Horse Douluo arranged the rooms for Ji Xuan and the others, he ordered the purple-robed Spirit Masters to serve them well, and then returned to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

After Sea Horse Douluo left, Ji Xuan said to everyone: "Everyone, rest and recuperate well today. Tomorrow, we will officially begin the trials."

"Yes, Your Highness!" everyone responded in unison, all feeling very expectant.
