Nine Trials

"Brother Ye, is this Sea God Mountain?" Zhu Zhuyun guessed. ♨😂 😺ൠ

Qian Ye nodded. "Yes, the Sea God Hall is located on the mountaintop."

Zhu Zhuqing immediately looked up and saw that there really were buildings on the mountain.

Moreover, a stone staircase leads directly up.

"Brother Ye, I heard from my men from Sea God Island that reaching Sea God Mountain isn't so easy."

Zi Zhenzhu suddenly said, "First of all, from the Sea God Mountain all the way to the Sea God Hall, there are exactly one thousand and one steps."

"Is this difficult, Sister Pearl?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

Zi Zhenzhu shook her head. "I haven't tried it either, so I don't know how difficult it is, but I've heard my subordinates, who are also from Sea God Island, talk about it."

" On Sea God Island, there's something called the Sea God Nine Trials, and the First Trial is climbing the 333 steps of Sea God Mountain, something like Crossing the Double Sea God's Light. The time limit is about one year, not 1001, just a little over a third. If you succeed, you'll immediately be rewarded with: 5% Sea God Affinity."

"Is that difficult?" Zhu Zhuyun asked curiously, "Three hundred and thirty-three steps, isn't that an easy task for a Soul Master?"

Zi Zhenzhu shook her head and said with a wry smile, "If it's just a matter of climbing up, it's not difficult."

"However, it has its limitations. ♤🐍 😾♬ That is, the entire staircase is covered with the Sea God's Light, and with each step you take, you feel the pressure of the Sea God's Light pressing down on you."

"For example, if the pressure on the first step is ten pounds, then the second is twenty pounds, the tenth is one hundred pounds, the one hundredth is one thousand pounds, the three hundredth is three thousand pounds, and the three hundred and thirty-three is three thousand three hundred and thirty pounds."

"This..." Zhu Zhuyun was stunned. "Doesn't that mean that climbing to the top 1001 steps would weigh 10,000 jin?"

Zi Zhenzhu nodded. "That's probably true, which is why these steps are difficult to climb."

Zhu Zhuqing said with a wry smile, "In that case, these steps really are difficult to climb."

Zhu Zhuyun: "Then what are the Sea God Nine Trials?"

Zi Zhenzhu thought for a moment, "The First Trial, which is the steps in front of us, is called 'Crossing,' double reward, Sea God's Light. It involves climbing the 333 steps in front of us. Upon completion, you will immediately be rewarded with 5% Sea God Affinity."

"Secondly, Break Through the Ring Blockade. That is, within this sea area, without killing any Sea Soul Beast, break through the Ring Sea blockade and reach the other side, and without using any Soul Ring skills, in order to pass the level. You will be immediately rewarded with 5% Sea God Affinity."

"The third is the Tidal Body Refinement. There's a pillar in the sea, subjected to the harsh forces of the ocean's terrain, such as sea winds and towering waves. You must endure more than twelve hours a day on this silver pillar, a truly grueling ordeal. Upon completion, you'll immediately be rewarded with 15% Sea God Affinity."

"The fourth is the Shark-Whale Battle, which involves assisting the Demon Soul Great White Shark Evil Orca King within the Evil Spirit Orca pod. The reward is an immediate 10% Sea God Affinity. The Demon Soul Great White Shark are the same ones we encountered yesterday before arriving on the island, including the Demon Soul Great White Shark Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai."

"Fifth, challenge the Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians. The timer starts from the first Sacred Pillar Guardian challenge. You must complete all challenges and defeat all Seven Sacred Pillar Guardians within thirty-six hours to pass and immediately receive a 15% reward of Sea God Affinity. This level is extremely difficult, as all seven Sacred Pillar Guardian are Titled Douluo, each more powerful than the last: Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, Sea Illusion Douluo, Sea Ghost Douluo, Sea Star Douluo, Sea Witch Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo."

"Fifth, and even more difficult, is to withstand Bo Saixi's attacks for the duration of an incense stick, and immediately receive a 20% bonus to your Sea God Affinity."

"The seventh is to draw the divine weapon, the one that the Sea God used to sweep across the seas, called the Sea God Trident. Immediately reward the Sea God Affinity. This object weighs 108,000 jin and has immense power. However, after it recognizes its master, the master will only feel 108 jin when holding it. But when attacking, its weight remains 108,000 jin."

"One hundred and eight thousand catties, that's too heavy!" Zhu Zhuyun found the weapon unbelievably heavy.

Zhu Zhuqing was also startled. "If this thing falls down accidentally, it could crush someone to death."

"Absolutely!" Qian Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to himself, "In the original book, Tang San was almost crushed to death by it. Luckily, Bo Saixi was there, otherwise Tang San would probably have been crippled if not killed."

Zi Zhenzhu continued, "The eighth test is to upgrade one's own abilities to the highest level. First, one must cultivate one's Martial Soul to the ninth ring level and collect all the Soul Bone. Then, one must kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. This will take about five years. Once completed, one will be immediately rewarded with 30% Sea God Affinity."

"The Nine Trials are the path to obtaining the Sea God Inheritance. This inheritance means becoming Deity of the Sea God Sea God Inheritance, a true Sea God. This trial requires passing the Seven Emotions test and reshaping the Sea God's Heart. The immediate reward is: obtaining the Sea God Godhood, transforming your Soul Bone into Sea God Divine Armor, and increasing all your Soul Ring ' lifespan by 50,000 years."

"Sister Pearl, I'm very curious. Since the Sea God is still alive, why would he pass on his position to someone else? After passing it on, would he still be the Sea God?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.

Zi Zhenzhu smiled and said, "I don't know much about that either, but I've heard some of it from my subordinates. In other words, the Sea God has left Douluo Continent and is no longer in our world. So, the Sea God no longer exists in this world. He went to travel to other worlds. That's why he set up the Sea God Nine Trials before he left, hoping that one day a talented Soul Master could pass his Sea God Nine Trials and take his place."

"Currently, the Sea God has entrusted all matters at sea to the high priest Bo Saixi."

"I see!" Zhu Zhuqing finally understood. "In other words, after becoming a god, the Sea God lived for too long and found this world too boring, so he ran away to play in other worlds, leaving Bo Saixi to manage them while selecting a new Sea God, and he completely relinquished his responsibilities."

Zi Zhenzhu nodded with a wry smile, "More or less!"

"You juniors, since you dare to speak ill of Lord Sea God at the Sea God Mountain, aren't you afraid of the Lord Sea God's divine power punishing you?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang in their ears.

His tone carried a cold, accusatory tone.

Qian Ye looked up and saw a fair-skinned, beautiful young woman descending from the sky and appearing before him.

Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zi Zhenzhu also looked at her.

Everyone was curious about who this person was.

Zhu Zhuqing: "Sister Pearl, could she be High Priestess Bo Saixi?"

Zhu Zhuyun: "Possibly!"

Zi Zhenzhu shook her head. "It might be, it might not be, but I don't think the High Priestess looks like that, so it shouldn't be her. I've heard my subordinates say that Bo Saixi is extremely beautiful and has an exceptionally beautiful figure, so it must be someone else. This person in front of us clearly doesn't match Bo Saixi's physical characteristics."
