Chapter 228: Light of the Sea God
"Alright, you all rest here for two days to recuperate and be in top form. Then we'll head to the Demon Whale Sea together."
Bo Saixi personally led the group to the reception hall. Qian Xunji looked outside. The Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos of Sea God Island, along with Xiaobai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, were gathered, standing respectfully outside the hall.
They were all newly minted Titled Douluos, with the one who looked like a sea dragon at level 94, hoping to break through to level 95. It was surprising to see so many Titled Douluos on Sea God Island. If placed on the mainland, they would be far more formidable than the three major sects.
"They're surprisingly able to get along so well with a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast."
Qingluan stood beside Qian Xunji, peering through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the crowd in the hall square below, her gaze fixed particularly on Xiaobai. The aura of a soul beast was unmistakable — even a higher-level Soul Douluo, let alone a Titled Douluo, could instantly recognize its identity.
"The Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is the guardian beast of Sea God Island, and they're a very kind clan," Bo Saixi explained. From the perspective of Sea God Island, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was indeed a kind soul beast.
"Yes, it's indeed rare," Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement, thinking about getting a guardian beast for the Spirit Hall someday. Land soul beasts wouldn't be able to sense humans, though that three-eyed golden lion might be a good option — though it's a bit too small. However, there were no other options at the moment, so he could only slowly train it. Since it was an imperial auspicious beast with a strong golden bloodline, its combat power should be quite high.
"By the way, where are Xiaohan and Dong'er?"
Ling Yuan glanced around. They had been sitting quietly just a moment ago; how could they have disappeared so suddenly?
"Don't worry about them. Dong'er must have taken Xiaohan out to play."
Qian Xunji waved his hand. With their current strength, there was no need to worry about anything happening. Their sudden disappearance must have been caused by Dong'er, who couldn't stay idle in a new place, teleporting Xiaohan out to play.
"Dong'er, he's still so playful."
Ling Yuan smiled and shook her head. But come to think of it, Dong'er, though already level 90, was still at that age where he loved to play.
Outside, Gu Han and Bibi Dong bypassed the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluos and the Demonic Soul Great White Shark's perception and arrived at the Seagod's Light Steps. After arriving on the island, Bibi Dong noticed the constant glow from that spot and took the opportunity to bring Gu Han along.
From here, the golden Seagod's Light shone down from above, looking quite impressive.
"Junior Brother, why is the Seagod's Light golden and not blue?"
Bibi Dong looked puzzled. He was clearly the Seagod, yet the energy was golden. Or was it that all divine power was golden? That didn't make sense, considering her Evil God heritage wasn't.
Bibi Dong's question was too tricky, and Gu Han didn't know how to respond. How could he know why the Seagod's Light was golden and not blue? Perhaps the Seagod preferred gold?
Gu Han chose not to answer, looking back at the Seagod Steps and changing the subject.
"Senior Sister, that's not important. I heard the Seagod's Light can push a person to their limits. How about going up and giving it a try?"
"It's useless. Without the Seagod's divine test, the Seagod's Light is no different from ordinary light to you."
The two had come here without concealing their presence. The sudden presence of two people naturally caught the attention of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo. The one who had come was Sea Dragon Douluo, who patiently explained the properties of the Seagod's Light to them.
The Seagod's Light only affected those who were being tested; others were unaffected by its pressure.
"I see. I'll give it a try."
Bibi Dong, ever the woman of action, was driven by curiosity. She quickly leaped onto the steps, and a subtle pressure descended upon her.
While it seemed insignificant to Bibi Dong, it proved that the Seagod's Light was also effective for someone who wasn't a divine test-taker. Bibi Dong then climbed another three hundred steps in one breath, still feeling no pressure, and continued her ascent.
It wasn't until she reached the 990th step that she felt a slight strain, but that was all. When she reached the top, the pressure on her body instantly vanished. Watching Bibi Dong climbing upwards, Sea Dragon Douluo frowned slightly; she looked clearly under pressure.
Although the other party appeared relaxed, she certainly didn't look like she was under no pressure.
"Junior Brother, the pressure from this Seagod Light isn't that great. And even though I'm not a Divine Examiner, I can still feel it."
Gu Han wondered if it could work on other Divine Examiners as well. That shouldn't be the case. Thinking of this, Gu Han decided to try it himself.
"Senior Sister, wait a moment. I'll go give it a try."
"I have to try it too," Sea Dragon Douluo said. The two of them almost stepped onto the Seagod Stairs together.
As they stepped onto the Seagod Stairs, Gu Han felt a faint pressure. His first thought was that Sea Dragon was lying.
No, there was no reason for him to lie to me and my sister. After all, this thing was no secret on Seagod Island. Outsiders who wanted to come here would have to get past Bo Saixi and the others first.
He turned to Sea Dragon Douluo, whose eyes widened slightly, a look of astonishment. Judging from his expression, he felt the same pressure. While it was slight for spirit masters of their level, it was certainly a real pressure.
It seemed he hadn't lied to me and my sister. That left only one possibility.
Gu Han raised his head, gazing at the boundless heavens. Was the Sea God watching?
But that wasn't right. The Sea God's last little trick had clearly engendered a grudge against him. If he were the Sea God, he would have ordered Bo Saixi to attack him if he dared to enter his territory.
But Bo Saixi didn't move, not even showing any hostility.
"How could this be?"
Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes widened. He had also passed the Sea God Black Level test and stepped onto this very step, and the pressure hadn't changed at all.
But that wasn't what shocked him. He had already passed the test, and the divine light had long since lost its effect on him.
Now, it was working not only on outsiders who hadn't taken the Sea God test, but also on him, who had already passed it.
Tell the High Priest immediately?
No, I need to confirm it again.
Sea Dragon turned and left.
Gu Han also reached the top. The pressure wasn't a problem for him. However, he could sense that the pressure multiplied with each hundred steps, especially the last ten, which were the heaviest.
Gu Han returned to the bottom of the steps, and Bibi Dong approached and asked with a smile, "Junior brother, how is it?"
"This pressure doesn't have much effect on people of our level," Gu Han shook his head.
After a while, the other Holy Pillar Douluo arrived under the leadership of Hailong, and even Xiaobai was called over. They all heard about the changes in the Light of the Sea God and were very surprised, but they did not think that Hailong would lie to them.
After trying it themselves, they were just as surprised, surprised, and puzzled as Hailong.
"Could it be that Lord Sea God changed the rules?" The Sea Witch guessed.
"That's the only possibility. Let's go see the High Priest."
Hailong nodded thoughtfully. At present, this was the only possible explanation.
"But, the guests are all here. Will we disturb them if we go over like this?" The Sea Witch was a little worried about being scolded by the High Priest.
