Chapter 216 Poseidon: I Want to See Someone
Facing everyone's gaze, Qin Ming didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.
"My teacher and the Second Elder have also passed the Divine Trial.
We just need to wait patiently until they become gods before dealing with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King..."
Hearing Qin Ming say this, Qingluan Douluo and the others were relieved.
Seeing this, Qin Ming continued,
"However, this means everyone will need to slow down a bit when completing the Divine Trial.
We should try to delay until after our teacher and the others inherit their divine positions..."
Hearing this, Qingluan Douluo nodded.
"Okay, I understand."
After Qingluan Douluo finished speaking, Guangling Douluo suddenly called out to Xiaobai beside him.
"Hey, take us to see the High Priest.
We want to ask her about this."
Hearing Guangling Douluo's words, Xiaobai came back to her senses.
"Today won't work, tomorrow will do.
It's already so late.
Besides, didn't the High Priest just summon several Holy Pillar Guardians for a meeting?
It wouldn't be good to disturb them now."
Saying this, Xiaobai gestured to the side.
"I'll take you to rest first.
Normally, the High Priest is usually on Mount Poseidon.
Your first test location is also there!
I'll take you there tomorrow…"
The next morning.
Led by Xiaobai, Qin Ming and the others crossed the ring-shaped sea and arrived at the foot of Mount Poseidon.
Pointing to the Temple of Poseidon at the summit, Xiaobai explained,
"The High Priest usually cultivates there.
If you want to find the High Priest, just go up and find him after you finish your test."
Hearing this, Qin Ming nodded to Xiaobai.
"Okay, we understand.
You can go now."
Seeing Qin Ming's attitude, Xiao Bai pouted.
Without saying anything, she jumped directly into the circular sea.
Seeing this, Qin Ming had no intention of waiting; he directly called out towards the Sea God's Temple,
"Senior Poseidon, could you please come out for a chat?
We have something to ask you."
With the help of his soul power, Qin Ming's voice carried far.
At this moment, Poseidon in the Sea God's Temple rubbed her temples in annoyance.
She had originally intended to avoid him, but now she couldn't wait any longer.
After all, this was a place to worship the Sea God, and also a forbidden area of Sea God Island.
If Qin Ming continued to make a scene here, it would damage the Sea God's dignity.
Thinking of this, Poseidon reluctantly walked out of the temple.
After quickly reaching the foot of the mountain, Poseidon looked at Qin Ming and said,
"Be quiet. This is a place to worship the Sea God."
Hearing this, Qin Ming nodded.
"Senior, besides accompanying the elders to complete their assessments, I have some questions for you."
Poseidon glanced at Qin Ming and replied somewhat helplessly.
"Just speak."
With Poseidon's permission, Qin Ming slowly began to speak.
"Senior, you should know about the assessments for the Third Elder. I just want to ask if the Third Elder will need to face the Deep Sea Demon Whale King
in those assessments. " Hearing Qin Ming's question, Poseidon frowned. Qin Ming wasn't wrong; the Azure Phoenix Douluo did indeed need to face the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in her eighth assessment. She had pondered this for a long time yesterday and ultimately placed her hopes for survival on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
She was eager for Qingluan Douluo to complete the first seven trials as quickly as possible, so that he could finally face the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Poseidon wanted to use the time limit of the divine trials to try and secure a final chance of survival…
At this moment, Qin Ming's question made her somewhat irritated.
She wanted to tell Qin Ming that he didn't, but as the High Priestess of the Sea God, she couldn't lie about such a matter.
It was precisely because of this that Poseidon fell silent…
After a long while, Poseidon finally spoke to Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming, you will naturally know the content of the subsequent trials when they begin.
I can't reveal it in advance…"
Before Poseidon could finish speaking, Qin Ming interrupted her.
"Senior, we didn't ask you to reveal the content of the divine trials in advance.
You only need to tell me whether the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is within the scope of the trials.
Informing you of the scope of the trials shouldn't be against the rules."
Hearing this, Poseidon fell silent.
Seeing Poseidon's expression, Qin Ming understood.
'So it seems that His Highness the Third Priest will indeed have to face the Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the eighth trial…'
Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Poseidon's voice suddenly rang out.
"Qin Ming, the eighth trial of the Nine Trials of the Sea God does indeed require the examinee to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
Hearing Poseidon say this, Qin Ming looked at her with some surprise.
In Qin Ming's opinion, Poseidon shouldn't have revealed this information.
Now, Poseidon's actions were somewhat unexpected.
Meeting Qin Ming's gaze, Poseidon sighed.
"Qin Ming, before we arrived at Sea God Island, Qian Daoliu should have told you about the responsibilities I, as the Sea God's priest, need to bear, right?"
As she spoke, Poseidon smiled bitterly.
"Given that old ghost's personality, he should have warned you to be wary of me, right?"
Hearing Poseidon so bluntly point things out, Qin Ming frowned.
"Senior, you…"
Before Qin Ming could finish speaking, Poseidon waved her hand at him, signaling him to be quiet.
Noticing Poseidon's actions, Qin Ming remained silent.
Seeing this, Poseidon sighed.
"Qin Ming, I will do my utmost to help these people from your Spirit Hall complete the assessment.
But I also have a small request, and I hope your Spirit Hall can help."
Hearing this, Qin Ming clasped his hands in a salute.
"Senior, please speak."
After taking a deep breath, Poseidon said to Qin Ming.
"I hope your Spirit Hall can use its power across the continent to help me find someone.
He still owes me a sentence..."
With a wry smile, Poseidon turned to the Azure Phoenix Douluo beside her.
"Before sacrificing myself for you, the Sea God's assessor, I want to see that person one last time..."
Hearing Poseidon say this, Qin Ming raised an eyebrow.
He already guessed who Poseidon wanted to see.
Just as Qin Ming was pondering, the Azure Phoenix Douluo stepped out from behind Qin Ming and clasped his hands in a salute to Poseidon.
"High Priest, who is that person?"
"Haotian Douluo, Tang Chen!"
Upon hearing Poseidon mention Tang Chen's name, Qingluan Douluo nodded.
He didn't ask Poseidon why, but directly promised her,
"High Priest, I promise.
I will personally write to my elder brother
and ask him to do everything in his power to find Tang Chen..."
