[You have finished 1st objective, reach the Sea God Island]

[Reward: 500k system points]

Yunlong closed his eyes and felt his entire body purged from worldly impurities. He breathed in and out slowly, trying his best to use this fortunate event.

He entered his spiritual sea and refined everything within it with this divine light.

Yunlong should be able to form a divine sense because his spiritual power was way higher than his cultivation realm.

According to the future knowledge, From low to high, spiritual power was divided into Spirit Origin, Spirit Connection, Spirit Sea, Spirit Abyss, Spirit Domain, and Divine Origin.

These six realms are simple but hard to reach later on.

For Spirit Master to become a Title Douluo, one needs to reach the Spirit Abyss Realm. However, Yunlong created Spirit Soul 10,000 years prematurely, which changed the future.

Spirit Souls are spirit beasts in an energy form and contracted with Spirit Master as a complement to the Spirit Rings. It can be an animal, plant, tool, material, or elemental spirit in the future, but it currently was limited to spirit beast only.

By becoming a spirit soul, spirit beasts only change their form and not their existence by binding their spiritual and life origin to the contracted host.

It has various ranks similar to the spirit ring, but an additional orange above red signified +200,000 years of Spirit Soul.

The spirit soul’s level is dependent on spiritual power, and the soul rings are dependent on the physique.

Yunlong should be in Spirit Domain Realm because his spiritual power is lower than the Divine Origin Realm, which enabled him to handle older spirit souls. With his sturdy physique, he also doesn’t have a problem having more red spirit rings.

He compressed and refined his spiritual power to reach the Divine Origin Realm, which actually was like swimming in muddy water for him.

After the divine light disappeared, Yunlong stared at the sky with a disappointed gaze.

Even though he felt refreshed because his body thoroughly was washed by divine light, he couldn’t harvest much of it.

“What a shame,” Yunlong commented while tying his loose hair into a ponytail.

He gradually moved his gaze to Sea God’s Mountain and noticed a woman standing there.

“Let’s go.” He said while grasping Kaguya’s delicate hand.

Kaguya nodded and followed Yunlong into the Sea God Island, leaving one of the Sea God’s Children to stare at them with a speechless expression.

Sea Woman Douluo’s eyes trailed, and an indifferent emotion resurfaced in her mind. Sea Woman Holy Pillar’s Guardian, Hai Nu, had never felt this humiliated before.

However, when she was about to raise her palm and generate spirit energy, Yunlong gave her a death stare with his sharingan.

“Don’t even think about it… You’ll regret it, trust me.” He commented while ignoring her again.

“I should teach you a lesson-! Eh?’ Hai Nu blinked, and they had disappeared from her sight.

Yunlong and Kaguya’s silhouettes flickered in the lush forest and moved swiftly to Sea God’s Mountain. They arrived at Nine Heavens Staircases and sensed seven people surrounding them.

He glanced at the Sea Woman Douluo, who he ignored a few seconds ago, and observed them. They are a strong group of people with title douluo strength.

The strongest among them is a strongly muscled man with light skin. He wears his mid-length blue hair tied away from his face but loses around his shoulders.

A large blue gem inherently was embedded in his chest, his scars are blue, and patches of blue scales cover his wrists and other small areas of skin. He has a dragon tattoo curling across his entire back.

“Intruders, what are you two doing here?” Sea Dragon Douluo questioned with a frown.

Yunlong didn’t say anything and casually showed them a golden trident symbol on his forehead.

“Sea God…” They stared at Yunlong solemnly, except for Sea Woman Douluo.

A delicate golden energy wave swept over them, and Bo Saixi arrived with a calm expression on her face.

“Oh, Sea God’s Inheritor, I welcome you to Sea God Island.” She greeted Yunlong naturally. “My name is Bo Saixi, the observer of your trial.”

“Nice to meet you, priestess.” Yunlong smiled while staring at her.

“My name is Yunlong.”

“I’m from Spirit Hall.” He added, which caused Bo Saixi’s expression to harden a little.

Bo Saixi, High Priestess of Sea God Island, is the disciple and descendant of Sea God. She was the one who would help/assist Yunlong in his trial later.

However, when Yunlong mentioned he was from Spirit Hall, Bo Saixi couldn’t help but frown inside.

The silver-haired young man in front of her became distrustful, but the Divine Light won’t land on an inheritor who doesn’t get approved by the Sea God.

“I’m here only for the trial, nothing else,” Yunlong commented when feeling Bo Saixi’s gaze. “If you feel like I’m not worth trusting, I’ll immediately leave after Sea God’s trials.”

“No,” Bo Saixi shook her head lightly. “Since you are the chosen one, I wouldn’t question your position.”

“Is that so?” Yunlong responded naturally.

Kaguya gradually frowned and perceived several flies observing them from the sky. “Yunlong…” She pulled his sleeve.

He nodded and raised his gaze to the sky, which made Bo Saixi confused until she also felt it.

“They are coming here again.” Bo Saixi’s voice became colder.

“Hmm, Again?” Yunlong weirdly reacted.

The high priestess briefly explained that a few people came to Sea God Island from outside a few years ago and wanted to take Sea God’s trial, but they were spies from the Sun and Moon Continent.

They dared to steal artifacts from Sea God’s Temple, which enraged Bo Saixi greatly. She wiped them from existence shortly after that.

“I don’t know what kind of sorcery they were doing,” Bo Saixi commented solemnly. “They possessed some weird essence tool to increase their spirit power for a short time.”

“It’s not a sorcery,” Yunlong answered while creating a bow with his handkerchief.

He launched a few arrows to drop drones from the sky and added, “It’s technology.”

As Yunlong finished his words, several bird-like drones dropped near them and attempted to destroy themselves, but he wouldn’t let them go smoothly.

He froze three drones into three ice cubes and teleported them to Spirit Lab, where the researcher could reverse-engineer it.

“The Sun and Moon Continent are currently at war against the Bright Spirit Empire,” Yunlong stated calmly.

“We were attacked by two of three main clans on Douluo Continent not too long ago, which I countered by annihilating their forces.”

“The Clear Sky Clan and Seven Treasure Clan were under the Sun and Moon Continent’s influence.”

Bo Saixi’s eyes slightly widened when hearing “Clear Sky Clan.” because Tang Can, one of two men who tried to woo her in the past, was from there.

The other was Qian Daoliu, but it was more of a rivalry against Tang Chen than genuine love for her. Not to mention the Angel God’s priest doesn’t have a chance to woo her in the first place.

Bo Saixi told them to reach Godhood, but it was impossible for Qian Daoliu. He was similar to her, who received her current spirit rank from Sea God.

Tang Chen is the only one who could reach Godhood because his strength actually was not given to him.

Yunlong, who noticed Bo Saixi’s complicated expression, smirked inside and added, “I have sad news for you, priestess.”

“Tang Chen, who you have been waiting for him decades, died in my hand.”

“W-What?” Bo Saixi couldn’t understand Yunlong’s words.

He sighed and put on a facade, telling Tang Chen got possessed by an evil spirit and became a bloody massacre in the Slaughter City.

Bo Saixi mutely was shaken by this news, but she also felt guilty because Tang Chen fell into such a state because of her demand. She doesn’t blame Yunlong because he portrayed himself in a good spot without changing much of the story.

She breathed out to calm herself and said, “Let’s proceed with your trial.”

“Sure,” Yunlong replied while following her to the nearest holy pillar.

Bo Saixi told Yunlong to stand near the Sea Dragon Holy Pillar and used her spiritual power to examine him. “Let’s start.” She whispered, to which he responded with a nod.

The Seven Children of Sea God witnessed the Sea Dragon Holy Pillar change to yellow color, then purple, and black in one second.

However, it doesn’t end because violent red light bursts out of Sea Dragon Holy Pillar.

Other holy pillars also exploded in crimson brilliance, which caused a violent storm around the Sea God Island.

Yunlong’s martial soul appeared near him, a white handkerchief with no unique quality. His spirit rings gradually manifested, covering the entire area with six black lights and one crimson ray.

“Six black spirit rings…”

“and a red spirit rings as his seventh.”

“Is he even a human???”

“That shouldn’t be possible!”

Sea Dragon Douluo felt uncomfortable inside and observed the silver-haired young man with a solemn expression.

Even Bo Saixi couldn’t hide her surprise because Sea God’s inheritor was more abnormal than she had expected.

At this very moment, something that was out of their expectation occurred.

ROAR!!

BOOM!

The pillars exploded in golden brilliance, and Yunlong’s twin dragon martial soul materialized, but it’s not just a minor projection because two gigantic silhouettes covered the entire sky.

Six more red spirit rings appeared and surrounded them with beastly pressure.

“T-Triplets Martial Souls.”

“Seven red spirit rings.”

“H-How could someone possess such power?!”

Sea Dragon Douluo had an urge to bow his body and tried his best to fight back this pressure. It’s not just him but everyone who has a beast-type martial soul.

Even Kaguya also had an urge to bow down, which reacted to Yunlong’s blood inside her body.

She looked at him and whispered, “Warm.”

A storm dissipates gradually, bathing Yunlong with another Divine Light from heaven itself.

He gained another baptism from Sea God’s Divine Light and fell into a deep meditation. Yunlong’s trident mark has become more prominent with holy luster.

“Huu…” He breathed naturally. “I see, so this is divinity.”

Yunlong opened his eyes and added, “I caught a glimpse of it for a moment.”

[Divinity: 0,69 percent]

[As you keep progressing with your trials, your divinity percentage will increase, host]

[Chain Quest: Sea God’s Trials]

[Second Objective: Sea God Nine Trials’ first test]

He smiled and commented, “Nice.”

Bo Saixi approached him and asked, “Have you received your revelation?”

“Yes.” Yunlong nodded slightly.

Kaguya walked between them and slowly placed her hand on the holy pillar, sensing a faint of energy rushing to her.

BOOM!

A red light exploded again and shocked the seven children of Sea God.

“I see, so that’s why…” Bo Saixi smiled because Kaguya meant to stay with Yunlong in his trial.

Kaguya’s forehead has a small red pearl, and close to Rinne-Sharingan formerly lies. She gently touched her forehead and felt a familiar sensation there.

‘It’s unawakened…’ She commented inside while walking to Yunlong.

Bo Saixi floated and declared, “First Test, Traversing Sea God’s Light.”

Yunlong remembered his trial and said, “I have to reach the peak of Sea God’s Mountain within one month…”

“Hmm, A month?” Bo Saixi stared in astonishment.

“Yes… As I reached the peak, I had to kiss the priestess according to the test.” He added, which left everyone speechless.

“…” Bo Saixi.

.

.

[Host, Calm Down]

‘That freaking old man…’ Yunlong thought while thinking about Sea God’s smirk beforehand. ‘He was purposely doing this.’

— Boundless Space —

Asura God and Sea God moved at such a quick pace to the Divine Realm.

Nonetheless, they suddenly stopped because Sea God received an alert from his trial ground.

He smirked and said, “Oh, That brat has arrived on my trial ground.”

“Well, that’s good.” Asura God nodded because Yunlong could grow strong there. “However, why did you have such a weird smile?”

Sea God stared at his friend as if he was winning something and cheerfully replied, “Nothing.”

“Let’s continue our journey.”

‘Weird… Why did he become happy all of a sudden?’ Asura God frowned while staring at Sea God’s back.

“I felt like I was losing something here.” He commented, to which Sea God responded with a chuckle.

“Haha, maybe just your feeling.” Sea God replied casually.
