Long Zhanye stood in front of the tall statue of Sea God, his eyes resting on the tip of the stone halberd for a moment.
His mind suddenly opened up. Since it was Sea God Tang San who guided him here, it couldn't be just an empty statue standing here as the end point.
With the help of Divine Sense's power, he touched the Sea God seal that he had taken from Tang Wutong Sea of Consciousness.
On his forehead, a golden brand of Seagod Trident quietly lit up.
Immediately, a soft golden light shot out from the brand and landed on the tip of the trident in the statue's hand.
Suddenly, the ground shook.
The stone slabs in the entire square made a dull and intensive vibration, as if the entire village was shaken from a deep sleep by an invisible force.
Long Zhanye shouted sharply, "Everyone, hold on!"
The remaining twelve people lowered their weight, bent down to hold on to the stone pillars beside them, or stabilized their bodies with Soul Power, and no one was knocked down.
Not long after, the violent shaking ended, and the surrounding stone slabs became quiet again.
Everything seemed to be back to the way it was before, the stone pillars still stood where they were, the statues still pointed to the sky with their halberds in hand, and the square remained as calm as before.
Everyone looked around in confusion, exchanging puzzled looks with each other.
Just then.
Layers of Wu Yun suddenly began to surge in the sky.
Those clouds did not drift with the wind, but condensed out of thin air at the same location.
Like a stirred ball of ink, it kept spinning, gathering, and rising, and finally formed the shape of a human head.
The facial features are clear and well-defined, and there is a calmness between the eyebrows and eyes that is as calm as the sea water.
From a distance, it looks like a giant face carved into the clouds, looking down below.
Then, the face in the clouds moved slightly, and a voice came down from high up:
"Foreigners, what's the matter?"
Ye Guyi was about to step forward to bow and explain, but Long Zhanye had already raised her eyes before her.
The purple light in his eyes suddenly lit up, shooting straight into the sky, and a Mental Ray shot out from his forehead.
It actually penetrated directly through the group of human faces made of Wu Yun, and the clouds seemed to be torn from the middle, rolled up and retreated to both sides.
An empty sky was revealed behind, and in that sky, a figure was hanging above it.
Long Zhanye looked at that figure. "The person who pretends to be a ghost and hides his head but only shows his tail--"
"Come out and meet me."
The figure also laughed a few times, and the voice fell from a high place:
"Hahaha, you are young, but your strength is not weak."
"Tell me your name and I'm born."
Long Zhanye replied smoothly, "Body Sect, Long Zhanye."
The figure no longer hung in the air. It moved slightly and slowly landed downwards. As the distance got closer, the outline became clearer.
The visitor was wearing a dark blue robe, with dark patterns on the surface of the robe undulating like waves, faintly visible under the light.
His face is not old, but there is a sense of calmness between his eyebrows that has been worn by the sea breeze and time.
Long Zhanye looked at that figure with a slight coldness in his tone:
"Tell me your name and your origins. Why are you teasing me?"
The figure stopped a few steps away and looked at Long Zhanye first.
Then he slowly spoke:
"I'm going to title you one of the five guardians: Hai Yun, Sea God Village."
Long Zhanye moved his eyebrows slightly, but his tone did not change. "Oh, so you are the guardian of Sea God."
Sea Cloud Douluo's eyes narrowed slightly. "What? You have heard of us?!"
Long Zhanye shook his head. "That's not true, it was Sea God Tang San who asked me to come here."
Hearing these words, Sea Cloud Douluo's expression suddenly became unstable. "What? Did Lord Sea God ask you to come here?"
Long Zhanye nodded without further explanation.
Sea Cloud Douluo's eyes stayed on him for a while, as if he was looking at an old thing that needed to be confirmed again and again.
Then he asked, his tone a little deeper than before:
"How to prove it?"
Long Zhanye didn't answer, just looked up at him.
On his forehead, the golden brand of Seagod Trident lit up again, clearer than before.
Sea Cloud Douluo Looking at the brand, his whole body seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, and he was stunned in place.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back and spoke again after a moment:
"You... are you really the person chosen by Lord Sea God?!"
Long Zhanye did not speak, and the silence itself constituted a response.
Sea Cloud Douluo's breathing was a few breaths heavier than before. He slowly stepped back half a step, and then bowed.
"Dear descendant of Sea God, Hai Yun offended me before, and I have offended many of you."
Long Zhanye raised his hand to support me slightly. "No courtesy, let's get started."
Sea Cloud Douluo suddenly paused in the middle of the ceremony, as if he was lightly tripped by something.
He raised his eyes and looked at Long Zhanye, with a trace of undisguised surprise in his eyes:
Sea God's successor is so anxious?
However, he didn't ask any more questions. He straightened up and waved his hand casually.
A light blue light lit up from his palm and shot towards the outermost stone pillar of the altar along the direction of his fingertips.
The moment the stone pillar came into contact with the blue light, it seemed as if something that had been dormant for a long time was injected into it.
The whole body turned from gray to blue, and the tide lines on the column began to flow slowly, like water wrinkled by the wind.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light fell from the sky and landed on the top of the stone pillar, wrapping the entire pillar in a warm and stable halo.
Sea Cloud Douluo explained while performing the ritual:
"Sea God Village has five guardians. I am Hai Yun, ranking fifth. The stone pillar I guard is named Sea Cloud Sacred Pillar!"
As the pillar lit up, everyone felt an aura that was undulating like the sea coming from around them.
It is moist and long, with a sense of spaciousness as if you are on the real sea.
The air became softer than before, and even the light slightly changed its tone in that atmosphere, like a very thin layer of blue gauze being spread out silently.
Sea Cloud Douluo turned around and looked at Long Zhanye, his tone became much more solemn:
"Sea God's successor, please come forward."
Long Zhanye walked forward without hesitation.
I saw Sea Cloud Douluo turning around, pointing his finger in the sky and a light blue light descending again, landing on Long Zhanye.
The light at first was the same as before, just as cold and soft, like moonlight falling into the water.
But then, the light began to change, gradually turning from blue to black, and then from black to red.
And in the end, that ray of light stopped on blue and gold. It was neither pure blue nor pure gold, but it was more sacred than both.
Sea Cloud Douluo looked at the blue-gold halo, breathing a little heavier than before, and even the figure that was originally as steady as a mountain swayed slightly.
He said excitedly, "Yes... yes... you are the successor of Sea God that we have been waiting for for a long time. It's you!!"
