Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Admittedly, she couldn't deny that Qian Shui's words made sense, and she was moved, but she refused to accept them!

Although she admired Tang Chen, she had been the High Priest of the Sea God for a hundred years and had been waiting for her own end for a hundred years. How could this long-held obsession be shaken by a few words?

After Poseidon finished speaking, Qian Shui got up and, as usual, patted her bottom and wiped her stiff cheeks.

He took a step past Poseidon and grabbed Poseidon's trident with one hand.

Glancing sideways at Poseidon's noble figure and indifferent gaze, Qian Shui was truly enraged. 'A steadfast belief?!'

"You people! You have a choice but you won't choose! You insist on waiting for others to impose their will on you! How pathetic!"

"If that's how it is! Then I'll force it on you! Let's see if you still choose it!"

"Become a god!"

The Divine Transformation Realm has returned!

In an instant, Qian Shui used both hands to pull out the trident!

In an instant, the Trident of Poseidon was shaken! Qian Shui Chun forcefully shook the Trident of Poseidon with his own power!

'A 54-ton thing! Soul power! Add muscle cells to it!'

"rise!"

At this moment, the golden trident of Poseidon on his forehead lit up, and a beam of concentrated Poseidon's light shone on the dark and lifeless handle of the trident in front of him.

The instant the light of the sea god shone upon him, Qian Shui felt two intense heat surge into him, instantly engulfing his entire body, and the trident in his hand seemed to tremble slightly. An extremely excited emotion welled up within him.

Immediately afterwards, starting from the handle held by Qian Shui's hands, a faint golden color began to spread. On the originally dark handle, strands of golden patterns began to spread along with the release of golden energy, and the scorching airflow that had entered Qian Shui was reversed and sent back.

In an instant, Qian Shui felt as if what she was holding in her hands was no longer a metal handle, but lava.

But this aroused Qian Shui's strong rebellious mentality. For a moment, he didn't even know what he was rebelling against. He just felt that these fancy games were particularly childish. You want me to pull it out, but you're burning me? Is it a test of faith or a test of Nai Kao Nai Re?

When you concentrate on doing one thing, external distractions disappear. And if you want to actively enter this state, you just need to focus on one thing!

So I, the damn guy, want to get my hands on this crappy harpoon and cosplay as Yuan Hua!

He didn't care that the Light of the Sea God could reduce the burn effect; he only added buffs to himself, arching his body to create a better stance for exerting force. His soul power drove the airflow to sweep across the Trident of the Sea God, and it gradually rose under the crazy surge.

In an instant, regardless of how violent the energy surging on the Trident of Poseidon was, Qian Shui pulled out the Trident of Poseidon under Poseidon's extremely shocked expression!

But the divine test didn't indicate that it was over!

"Holy shit! So this is what they mean by 'the Heart of the Sea God must pass the Nine Trials of the Sea God'!"

At this moment, Qian Shui released all his mental energy, which surged towards the trident mark.

Just then, the light of the sea god that shot out from Qian Shui's forehead suddenly changed from gold to blue, a deep blue like the ocean. The specks of gold gradually disappeared from the blue, leaving only this pure color.

A blue triangle slowly floated out from between Qian Shui's eyebrows, spinning rapidly.

Approaching the diamond-shaped cavity at the head of the trident of Poseidon through the bridge formed by blue light, one finds the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Qian Shui roughly understood what was going on. The Vast Ocean Universe Cover, also known as the Heart of the Sea God, was less a test from the gods and more a way for the gods to enhance your strength. The moment you obtained the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and gained recognition, you would inevitably become the successor of the Sea God!

Although Qian Shui did not use the Vast Ocean Universe Cover at all, nor did he have the ability to activate it, it flew out of his body entirely on its own.

Moreover, Qian Shui felt a strong sense of excitement from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, as if he had gained life at this moment.

When the Vast Ocean Universe Cover flew to within three inches of the diamond-shaped hole in the Trident of Poseidon, it stopped. Then, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover's light shifted, its original triangular shape instantly doubling in size, as if two Vast Ocean Universe Covers had joined together. Its shape also changed simultaneously, transforming into a deep blue diamond-shaped gemstone, its size exactly matching the hole in the Trident of Poseidon. At that moment, the intense blue light even overshadowed the golden radiance.

Qian Shui could clearly feel his soul power, spiritual power, the Light of the Sea God, and even the blood within his body draining away at an alarming rate. 'Damn it, it even drinks blood? This thing recognizes its master by drinking blood? Why didn't you say so earlier! My palms are burning!'

With a soft "ding," the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, transformed into a rhombus shape, was finally imprinted on the rhombus-shaped hole of the Trident of the Sea God. A piercing friction sound erupted along with an incredibly surging energy, almost instantly sweeping across the entire hall. The hall, which was originally dimly lit, seemed to be ignited by the golden light.

An unprecedented divine aura burst forth from the location of the trident of the sea god, transforming into a massive pillar of light that shot into the sky and directly towards the top of the palace.

The sky was now covered with dark clouds, dimming the light on the entire Poseidon Island. But just then, the Poseidon Temple lit up, its magnificent structure emitting a powerful golden light that pierced the darkness and illuminated Poseidon Mountain.

It also seemed to illuminate the entire Poseidon Island, with thick golden pillars of light shooting into the sky and piercing the dark clouds. At the same time, the seven sacred pillars of Poseidon Island also lit up.

Seven beams of golden light, of varying thickness, surged forth from different directions, merging with the golden pillar of light erupting from the temple. The light lasted for a full ten seconds before fading, and the dark clouds in the sky were completely transformed into golden clouds by the golden light they had coalesced into.

The golden ball of light slowly transformed in the air, gradually taking on a human shape. It was vaguely visible that the human shape was illusory, and the human-shaped light and shadow hand was none other than my golden trident, which seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth.

Thousands of tiny golden rays appeared from all directions. Some of these rays originated from Seagod Island, but most came from the ocean. If God Douluo Poseidon were to witness this, she would surely understand that this was the power of faith she spoke of—the faith of all things in the ocean in their devotion to the Seagod.

"Life goes on! Harmony with the world!"

Qian Shui was in poor condition at the moment, so he activated his healing soul skill to recover. The Trident of the Sea God was essentially useless once it was pulled out; the key was to activate it using the Vast Ocean Universe Cover!

But he did indeed forcibly pull out the Trident of Poseidon, and at the same time he gained recognition, he began to understand and assimilate the Trident of Poseidon at the level of 'being one with the world'!

'What do you mean 108,000 jin? I thought it actually had that density. It's just some kind of energy conversion!'

The prompt in his mind also sounded at this moment: "Seventh Trial of the Sea God: Pull out the divine weapon, the Trident of the Sea God. Passed. Reward: Sea God's affinity increased by 15%."

With a total affinity of 95%, you have gained the approval of the Trident of Poseidon and possess the right to use it.

After brushing on some beautiful gunfire, Qian Shui's arm wounds had almost healed.

"Is this what you wanted, Senior Poseidon?"

Chapter 153 Leaving

"Qianshui, are you really determined to complete the eighth trial on your own? With the help of the Holy Pillars and the High Priest, soul rings and soul bones will naturally not be a problem."

"What? You don't trust me?"

"But how can you leave Poseidon Island?"

"I am the successor of the Sea God! Why not? You want me to get ten more soul rings and a full set of soul bones on Sea God Island?"

"Uh……"

'The eighth of the Nine Trials of the Sea God, completion conditions: cultivate your Martial Soul to the ninth ring level, collect all Soul Bones, and kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Time limit: five years.'

After pulling out the trident of Poseidon, he didn't waste any words and immediately stepped out of the Temple of Poseidon.

I really don't want to see that expression on her face again!

Recalling Poseidon's closed eyes and resigned posture, Qian Shui felt both pity and resentment at her lack of resistance.

In fact, if Poseidon had chosen Tang Chen, he would have told her without hesitation that the King of Slaughter was Tang Chen. At that time, when they returned to Douluo Continent, the combined efforts of many people would have been enough to kill the Nine-Headed Bat King.

However, whether Tang Chen has a few more days to live is not something he can decide; whether he can be saved depends on the prowess of this peerless expert.

But she chose to accept that tragic fate; what could Qian Shui do?

"I can only choose my own destiny!"

Having witnessed Poseidon's condition and gained an understanding of the nature of divinity, he decided to embark on a more difficult, yet more grounded, path.

"This is the best I can do for you."

"Thank you for your help, Xiaobai."

After leaving the Sea God Temple, Qian Shui found Xiao Bai and asked her to give him a ride. That night, he left Sea God Island and headed west.

Once we leave the area of ​​Poseidon Island, it's time to say goodbye.

"Be careful! Although that continent isn't as big as Douluo Continent, it's still fraught with danger, especially the Demon Forest, where there are soul beasts over 100,000 years old!"

"Don't worry! This is what I'm looking for! Let's go!"

"Forward three!"

He waved goodbye, and Qianshui, riding his sword, vanished in a flash.

High above, he finally had time to sort out what had happened in the past day or two.

Time flies like an arrow. I wonder how many hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts are in the sea, but I should be able to replenish my strength by now.

'Poseidon underestimates me. Rather than saying that Soul Masters find it difficult to increase their Soul Power after level 95, it's more accurate to say that the cultivation method itself has problems.'

'It's just that the Douluo people are too focused on cultivating their martial souls themselves, neglecting other aspects in the process.'

'He himself says he admires Tang Chen and doesn't know how Tang Chen cultivated to level 99, yet he doesn't try to figure out why.'

'But the Clear Sky Sect's attack methods offer a glimpse into their overall strength. Their power originates from their Martial Soul, combined with a formidable physique and unparalleled combat skills. In the context of the Douluo Continent, the Great Sumeru Hammer, with its limitless potential, is naturally the strongest in the world!'

'But I'm not ignorant of these things. I cultivate in a three-in-one manner. The reason I can fight sea dragons that are much stronger than me is because of this kind of training.'

'Leaving aside the fact that Nascent Soul cultivators have cheat codes, that's something that comes from the rules of the Martial Soul world, and it's actually limited to the Golden Core stage. If I were a Nascent Soul cultivator, breaking through the body and teleporting would be a piece of cake...'

As I pondered, I gradually began to see the black horizon; the Sun and Moon Continent was now close at hand.

...

"Lingling~ Oh dear~ Lingling~ I'm so tired! Oh dear..."

After finishing her studies for the day, Ye Lingling returned to her residence, where she naturally saw her unlucky teacher.

Yin Jin clutched his aching back, stood up, and asked for comfort, but Ye Lingling dodged him in a flash, causing him to fall flat on his face.

"Waaaaah~ You're all bullying me! That Crown Prince is really something! He ran away without a word! It's just Ning Rongrong! Go for it! What are you afraid of!"

"Teacher, what are you saying?"

During the day, Ye Lingling was at school and naturally knew nothing about the gossip in Tiandou City, but Yin Jin did.

When he went to Qian Renxue in the afternoon to ask for money to do something, he was told that she had already left. After learning a little about the situation, Yin Jin understood the whole story.

"Oh my, what a melodramatic love triangle! You know Ning Rongrong, right?"

"Ah."

"Sigh, it wouldn't have been a big deal if the Fourth Prince had confessed his feelings in public, but since he skipped class and Ning Rongrong didn't like him, he ended up pissed off to the Crown Prince. And then, to make matters worse, Xue Beng said something he shouldn't have, and the Crown Prince slapped him in public and confined him to his quarters!"

"Actually, it's nothing, they're nobles, it's normal. But who is Ning Rongrong? She's Ning Fengzhi's own daughter! The key thing is... hehehe! She likes His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yin Jin knew who Xue Qinghe was, and he had also met Ning Rongrong. That guy had scared him so much that he jumped up on the spot. At that moment, he genuinely thought Qian Shui had arrived, and he subconsciously ignored whether she was dressed as a woman or not.

After all, Chen Sha had already given him a beating for the little thing he did, so Qian Shui would definitely get a beating. He had realized long ago that he was definitely in for a beating.

He just thought it looked like her, but what about Qian Renxue? In any case, the result was that Xue Qinghe ran away, and in a very hurry, so his gossipy soul naturally burned brightly!

"So what? The Crown Prince is Sect Master Ning's disciple. The marriage between the Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is naturally a double blessing..."

"Sigh, I understand~ but you don't~"

"Are you saying Ning Rongrong looks like that 'singer'?"

"Uh... I guess so..."
