Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 198 The Unresponsive Holy Pillar

The middle-aged man led Danheng through the woods to a large pool of water.

It is more like a huge inland lake than a pond.

However, what's unusual is that this lake, which should have been perfectly calm, actually has waves like those of the ocean, moving on their own without any wind.

In the very center of the pool, there was a triangular platform, which was also the place that Dan Heng had previously noticed, where the energy fluctuations were different from other places.

As for the cone-shaped stone pillar on the triangular platform, Dan Heng sensed the power of Poseidon emanating from it. Although it was vastly different from the previous phantom, it definitely belonged to Poseidon.

"That must be Seahorse Douluo, right?"

Even from hundreds of meters away, Dan Heng could still spot the man in black sitting beneath the stone pillar at a glance.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man in yellow glanced at Dan Heng and thought to himself that since this person was a Title Douluo and had disturbed Lord Seahorse's cultivation, Lord Seahorse shouldn't blame him.

"This is the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, one of the seven sacred pillars of Seagod Island. Each sacred pillar possesses divine power bestowed by the great Seagod."

"Given your special status, we cannot speculate on the trials that the Sea God has sent down."

"However, only by passing the Sea God's test can you move freely on Sea God Island. This is a tradition that has remained unchanged on Sea God Island for many years."

After explaining the situation to Dan Heng, the middle-aged man respectfully bowed towards the direction of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar. At the same time, he used his soul power to report to Seahorse Douluo:

"Reporting to Lord Seahorse, a Title Douluo has come and says he wishes to... uh... visit Seagod Island. I dare not respond rashly, so I have come to ask for your decision."

"?"

Seahorse Douluo, who was sitting under the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion and bewilderment.

What is this guy saying?

A titled Douluo came to visit his Seagod Island?
What kind of place is Poseidon Island?
"Title Douluo?"

Seahorse Douluo's voice, like the waves of the sea, came from the center of the lake.

Although it was only four simple words, Dan Heng could sense a strong sense of astonishment and vigilance.

"That's right. I have no ill intentions in coming here. I am just curious about Poseidon Island. I would appreciate it if the friends on Poseidon Island could do me a favor. I will leave once this matter is over."

"Come over here and talk."

Seahorse Douluo stood up, glanced back at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, and invited Dan Heng to come to the base of the pillar to speak in person.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a beam of azure light shot straight to the top of the Seahorse Pillar, and a ring of blue ripples spread out, hovering above the entire lake.

"Strange methods."

Dan Heng didn't understand what this action was about. Suddenly, a greenish-blue light emanated from his body, and the next second, he appeared next to Seahorse Douluo.

"I should have known this thing wouldn't be of any use to you."

Seahorse Douluo looked at Dan Heng, who was right in front of him, and his eyes twitched slightly. With a wave of his hand, the blue water curtain above the lake instantly disappeared.

There's no way around it, it's muscle memory.

"So, is there anything else I need to do?"

"Let's proceed as usual and see what kind of test the Sea God will give you."

Seahorse Douluo's gaze swept over Dan Heng from head to toe. With his strength, he couldn't discern the depth of this person's power at all. So there was only one possibility.

That's the outsider; his strength is already on par with their Grand Elder!
Do people like this really come here just for sightseeing?
Seahorse Douluo didn't believe it.

However, as is customary, Dan Heng had passed through the sea within a sea before him, thus qualifying him to undergo the Sea God's test. Seahorse Douluo faced the sacred pillar, his expression devout, his hands raised to his chest, a faint blue light slowly appearing between his palms.

As the blue light gradually intensified, a similar blue glow enveloped the entire Seahorse Pillar.

Seahorse Douluo turned around and pointed his right hand at Dan Heng.

It looked as if a crow flew across the sky, leaving behind a line of ellipses.

"what's the situation?"

Dan Heng looked bewildered, and Seahorse Douluo's hand froze in mid-air, still pointing at Dan Heng.

"How can there be no response?"

Seahorse Douluo was clearly encountering this situation for the first time. Why didn't the Sea God respond?
The blue light on the Seahorse Pillar detached from the pillar and gradually dissipated, and everything around returned to normal.

Only Dan Heng and Seahorse Douluo, looking completely bewildered, remained beneath the Holy Pillar.

Seahorse Douluo, somewhat skeptical, tried again, but this time the Seahorse Sacred Pillar didn't even bother to light up with its blue light, which greatly frustrated Seahorse Douluo.

You may be malfunctioning, but now you're not even giving any response!

Dan Heng was somewhat embarrassed. Could it be that Poseidon had been punished by the gods for violating the rules by descending to the mortal realm before?
Although Dan Heng did not know the specific rules of the divine realm, he could roughly guess them from the fact that Poseidon had only descended with a phantom image and left in such a hasty manner.

Poseidon: I'll test you? Why should I test you? How could I possibly test you?

"hiss"

After countless attempts, Seahorse Douluo finally gave up.

Dan Heng initially wanted to offer some advice, but seeing how persistent Seahorse Douluo was, he didn't have the heart to disturb him.

"It's weird. It's weird."

Seahorse Douluo muttered to himself that he had never encountered such a strange situation since he became one of the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars.

What the heck is the Holy Pillar malfunctioning?

I didn't tell him how to handle this situation!
"Well, how about this: you go and try it at the other sacred pillars. If the result is the same, I think I'll need to notify the High Priest."

Seahorse Douluo remained silent for a long time before finally speaking to Dan Heng with some embarrassment.

What's going on? How could the sacred pillar suddenly malfunction at this critical juncture?

Could it be that this person's identity is extraordinary, which is why the Sea God directly refused to test him and was unwilling to let him enter Sea God Island?

However, this is just speculation. If Danheng still cannot trigger the Sea God's test under the other sacred pillars, then this speculation may have a slight possibility.

He cannot draw any conclusions yet, after all, such a thing has never happened since the establishment of Poseidon Island.

"Go through the other six sacred pillars as well?"

Dan Heng shook his head. Judging from the current situation, even if he went to other sacred pillars, it would definitely be in vain.

In contrast, Dan Heng preferred to have Seahorse Douluo directly invite their Grand Elder, Sea God Douluo Poseidon.

"If you are unwilling, then please leave. These are the rules of Poseidon Island, and no one may violate them."

"Since you have the means to evade the Great White Shark swarm and reach the island, you probably don't need us to see you off when you leave."

Seeing that Dan Heng remained unmoved, Seahorse Douluo's expression turned slightly cold, and he directly issued an order to leave.

The rules of Poseidon Island must not be broken by anyone!
