Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 260 Sea God Temple

In Haima City, after passing the test, everyone was extremely excited, but also showed a hint of restraint on their faces.

By now, Oscar, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Yang Wei, and Qin Shuang have all completed the assessment, but everyone knows that the real challenge is just beginning.

Poseidon Island is an extremely closed place. No one except the original inhabitants of Poseidon Island can enter. Even the fleets that send supplies from Hanhai City to Poseidon Island cannot actually enter Poseidon Island. They can only contact the people of Poseidon Island from the outside.

Of all those who joined Poseidon Island, none have ever been known to be able to leave. Not only are there Demon Soul Great White Sharks around Poseidon Island, but there are also very few boats on the island itself. Even when they go out to hunt for Soul Rings, they are usually accompanied by Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

It can be said that Poseidon Island is home to a fanatical religious organization, and leaving is extremely difficult.

This is also the biggest problem facing Yang Xiong and the others. They will not actually join Poseidon Island, much less stay there for the rest of their lives.

In the original story, Tang San and his companions were able to leave Seagod Island for two reasons. One was that Tang San received the Seagod's inheritance, and the other was that the Spirit Hall's ambitions were too great. If the Spirit Hall were to unify the entire Douluo Continent, they would probably target Seagod Island sooner or later.

Like Seagod Island, the Spirit Hall is a religious organization. Religious organizations like this are extremely resistant to each other, and sometimes even fight to the death.

As for secretly leaving Seagod Island, that's simply unrealistic. Once at sea, there will be a huge gap between land-based Soul Masters and sea-based Soul Masters. For example, the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island—if they were at sea, Yang Xiong's men probably wouldn't be able to defeat them so easily, not to mention the extremely powerful Poseidon.

Seeing the conflicted look on everyone's faces, Yang Xiong offered words of comfort.

"It's still early. I still have two more tests to go. If I'm not mistaken, the Spirit Hall can't tolerate Seagod Island. Seagod Island also has a conflict of faith with the Spirit Hall. If the Seagod doesn't want the Angel God to rule the world, he should let us go back to resist the Spirit Hall's rule."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. After all, after completing the assessment, they were all idle and bored, which could easily lead to problems.

After making some preparations, Yang Xiong, along with Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er, prepared to head to the Sea God Temple to participate in the seventh trial.

At the foot of Poseidon Mountain, gazing at the towering and magnificent Temple of Poseidon, the three of them wore extremely solemn expressions.

Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er both seemed somewhat moved. Although they both possessed considerable strength, the gods remained unattainable beings in their eyes, and they held them in boundless awe.

"Little Bear, can we really lift the Trident of Poseidon? That's a legendary artifact."

Yang Xiong gave Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er on either side a reassuring look.

“Rongrong, Sister Bing’er, you may think that gods are far away. In fact, the so-called gods are just the limit of a true soul master. As long as a soul master can break through level 99 and reach the true level 100, then he can become a god.”

"It may seem like a long way off for you right now, but I believe that with your talent, your hard work, and your opportunities, reaching level 100 and becoming a god is not out of reach."

"Don't forget Rongrong. You are the most talented disciple in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and one of only two people in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to have a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Your potential is even greater than you imagine."

"Sister Bing'er, your Ice Phoenix has become perfect since you consumed the Ice Crystal Phoenix Sunflower. The phoenix is ​​the king of all birds, a being no weaker than a dragon. In terms of martial soul, you are already perfect. With your perseverance and talent, becoming a god at level 100 is not impossible."

After hearing Yang Xiong's words, Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er's previously slightly confused eyes became incredibly confident. Just as Yang Xiong said, their martial souls were unprecedentedly powerful, and with various opportunities, they would definitely be able to reach the highest realm of soul masters.

Ning Rongrong spoke first: "Little Bear, I believe you will succeed, and I will definitely be able to keep up with you. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will definitely shine throughout the entire Douluo Continent."

Shui Bing'er smiled slightly: "Yang Xiong, thank you for everything. I hope you succeed. I will do my best to help you. I hope we can both succeed."

The three of them smiled at each other, and the tension from the beginning had dissipated.

Yang Xiong, along with Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er, once again stepped onto the steps of Seagod Island.

Now the light of the sea god no longer had any repulsive power over the three of them, and they walked step by step up the stairs.

But as they climbed higher and higher, the Temple of Poseidon became clearer and clearer, and the gap between gods and mortals became more and more obvious. The three of them even felt their own insignificance as mortals.

Only when one is truly in the presence of God can one feel the difference between man and God, and the invisible aura between God and man.

When the three of them crossed the 1001st step, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Before them stood an exceptionally magnificent palace; this was the first time Yang Xiong and his companions had ever been so close to the Temple of the Sea God.

The entire Sea God Temple was exceptionally magnificent, especially the front of the temple, which featured a series of enormous stone pillars. These pillars were carved with various images, including all sorts of marine creatures, as well as the various sea spirit beasts that Yang Xiong and the others had seen before. There were even images of spirit beasts such as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Evil Demon Tiger Whale King, and of course, many more images that Yang Xiong and the others had never seen before.

The Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island were already standing before the Seagod Temple, seemingly awaiting the crucial moment. Yang Xiong and the others bowed slightly: "Greetings to Sea Dragon Douluo, greetings to all seniors."

Hailong Douluo's expression was somewhat complicated: "The three of you, please follow me. The Grand Elder is already waiting for you."

Soon, led by Sea Dragon Douluo, the three of them entered the Sea God Temple together.

Yang Xiong and the other two were also on edge as they followed Hailong Douluo into the Sea God Temple. The Sea God Temple was completely different from what they had imagined; it was unadorned and looked very ancient.

After the three entered the Sea God Temple, Sea Dragon Douluo left, leaving only Sea God Douluo Poseidon at the scene.

The three then saw the situation inside the Sea God Temple. There were eight platforms inside the Sea God Temple, one of which was the largest, and sitting on it was the Sea God Douluo Poseidon. The other seven platforms were smaller, and judging from their arrangement, they should correspond to the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island.

In the center of the Temple of Poseidon, there is a huge throne, which is empty.

In front of the throne stood a massive trident, over three meters long, radiating a golden light that was so intense it was almost blinding, like a divine object.

Poseidon spoke calmly: "You've finally arrived. Have you decided to participate in the seventh test?"

Yang Xiong and the other two nodded: "Seniors, please preside over the assessment for us."

Poseidon nodded: "Very well, but before that, I have a few questions for you, and I hope you can speak your minds."

Yang Xiong and the other two exchanged glances, feeling somewhat bewildered. Finally, Yang Xiong spoke up: "Senior, you can speak frankly if you have something to say."

Poseidon said, "Yang Xiong, Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing'er, all three of you have passed the Red-level assessment and are the successors of the High Priest of Seagod Island. I know you were born on land, but are you really willing to dedicate everything to the Seagod? Even your lives?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiong and the other two's expressions changed slightly, and the entire scene seemed to fall into silence.

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "Senior, I have always admired the Sea God and am willing to believe in the Sea God for life, and will never betray him."

Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er behind them quickly spoke up as well: "Senior, we are willing to believe in the Sea God for life."

Poseidon's expression changed slightly, as if revealing a hint of helplessness, but he didn't know what to say to Yang Xiong and the other two.

“Yang Xiong, Ning Rongrong, Shui Bing’er, I know that the three of you were born on land, each with your own family and your own attachments. But now that you have come to Seagod Island, and since you are the future worshippers and future rulers of Seagod Island, there are some things I still need to make clear to you.”

"Perhaps you have little contact with Poseidon Island or Lord Poseidon, but Lord Poseidon is far greater than you can imagine."

"In the vast ocean, there was bloodshed and slaughter everywhere, and countless races were wiped out in the process of killing."

"The Sea God, pitying the creatures of the sea, wielded his trident and devoted his entire life to traversing every corner of the ocean. With his powerful strength and unparalleled charisma, he conquered one sea race after another. After a thousand and one years, he finally unified the ocean and was revered by all sea creatures as the Sea God, becoming an unparalleled deity."

"It can be said that without Lord Sea God, there would be no peace in the sea, nor would there be peaceful coexistence between humans and the Soul Beast race."

Yang Xiong seemed to have thought of something: "Senior, has the Sea God really traveled all over the ocean? You know the ocean is endless, and legend has it that no one can reach the end of the ocean."

Poseidon's gaze shifted, a hint of anger flashing across her face: "What? You dare question Lord Sea God?"

Yang Xiong quickly spoke up: "Senior, of course I will not question Lord Sea God. I just have a question: Is this world round or flat? Besides our Douluo Continent, are there other places where humans live?"

When Poseidon heard Yang Xiong's question, he was speechless for a moment.

In the end, Poseidon shook his head: "I don't know either. After all, the sea god became a god tens of thousands of years ago. Many things have been passed down for too long, and we don't know much about them. But if you are interested in this, you can ask Xiaobai. Xiaobai followed the sea god to conquer the world and traveled all over the ocean."

"You interrupted me so much that I almost forgot the important matter. After the Sea God unified the sea, our Sea God Island has worshipped the Sea God for generations in order to maintain peace in the sea. And to maintain peace, we need strength."

"Therefore, the Sea God descended to bestow this inheritance and test in order to select those who will inherit the faith in the Sea God and the spirit of peace. As my successors, I hope that you three will be able to maintain the peace of the sea in the future."

"Yang Xiong, I know you are exceptionally talented. You have already reached the level of a Title Douluo at such a young age. Given time, you will definitely reach my level. I hope you will not forget your original aspirations."
