Poseidon: Don't Steal My Trident (Bonus Chapter for Fellow Daoist Yun Fan_dD)

Sea God Island, the summit of Sea God Mountain.

This was the location of the Sea God Temple, and also the place where the Sea God's Light was most concentrated and dazzling.

Qian Xunji sat cross-legged here, his Eight Spider Lances unfurled behind him, devouring the energy within the Sea God's Light.

"How does it feel?" he asked.

"Fleecing Poseidon—it feels absolutely wonderful."

The voice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King emanated from the Eight Spider Lances, carrying a cunning sense of glee.

It never expected that after its sacrifice, with its soul anchored to the Eight Spider Lances and enhancing their devouring capabilities, it would encounter such a windfall.

Tricking Poseidon, fleecing Poseidon—this human, Qian Xunji, truly knew how to play the game.

"But having said that, what is your goal in doing this?" it asked curiously.

"In the human world, there exists the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, you know that, right?" Qian Xunji began.

"On the Douluo Continent, the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Dai Family of the Star Luo Empire and the Nether Civet Martial Soul of the Zhu Family fuse to become the Nether White Tiger."

In order to defeat Poseidon and grow stronger, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had once visited the Douluo Continent, seen a few things, and studied human combat styles.

The armor and giant hammer condensed from the soul power of its humanoid form were inspirations drawn from observing humans.

"Oh, you even know about that." Qian Xunji was somewhat surprised.

He continued, "In the God Realm, there are the Five Great God Kings. When their divine powers fuse, they can erupt with even greater might. The divine skill formed by the fusion of the Five Great God Kings' power is the Sword of Judgment of the Three Realms."

"You want to borrow the power of the Sea God to create something new?"

"No, the power of the ocean," Qian Xunji corrected.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King became interested.

Although it was lazy and preferred to stay home, it also enjoyed cooking up something fresh.

The man and the beast spent their time absorbing the energy of the Sea God's Light while discussing how to combine killing intent, battle spirit, and the ocean.

Time passed.

When Bo Saixi, having finished her prayers in the Sea God Temple, stepped out to catch some air, she saw that impressive figure and her pupils shook instantly.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was panting like an ox.

"Asura's successor, Qian Xunji! Sea God Island does not welcome you!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji felt displeased. Even Sea God Poseidon hadn't said anything, yet a mere Sea God High Priestess dared to issue an eviction order.

Did she really think he was just someone who came quietly and cautiously to fleece some wool?

He flashed in front of Bo Saixi and threw a punch, striking her in the stomach.

Bo Saixi, who had been standing tall and straight with her nose in the air, had her waist bent by Qian Xunji's punch, and stomach acid surged from her mouth.

After hitting Bo Saixi, Qian Xunji quickly put some distance between them and took out alcohol to scrub his hands.

He wore a look of utter disgust, his hands moving so fast they left afterimages.

For Qian Xunji, physical contact with a fool caused him physiological nausea.

He was terrified of being infected by the stupidity of fools, catching a "stupidity disease," and ending up just like the dim-witted natives of Douluo.

Seeing this scene, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was incredibly astonished: "Holy crap, what kind of move is this? This look of utter disdain and extreme repulsion is truly peerless."

This behavior was a silent humiliation of the Sea God High Priestess Bo Saixi, and by extension, a humiliation of the Sea God Poseidon.

The untouchable, not to be touched.

"Qian Xunji, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

Seeing the look of disgust on Qian Xunji's face, Bo Saixi was so angry that she ignored the pain in her body, her bloodshot eyes staring daggers at him.

She wished she could skin him, pull out his tendons, and chop him up to feed the fish.

"Ninth Soul Skill..."

Seeing that Bo Saixi intended to summon the Sea God, Qian Xunji directly unleashed a Soul Shock, knocking her unconscious from a distance.

Joking aside, with less than ten meters between them, how could he possibly let her finish the eight words, "Ninth Soul Skill, summon the Sea God"?

Facing an enemy and shouting out the name of one's skill—what a foolish act.

As a normal person, he simply couldn't understand why the stupid Douluo natives did things like that.

With a mental transmission, he ordered Sea Dragon Douluo to come over and carry Bo Saixi away.

Protecting a fool from the enemy side who was powerful, high-ranking, and brain-damaged was more useful than killing them.

Killing a stupid thing like Bo Saixi and letting Poseidon replace her with a normal person as the Sea God High Priestess would only be helping the enemy.

Sea Dragon Douluo arrived and, upon seeing Qian Xunji, felt that incredibly powerful energy radiating from him—a force he could not possibly contend with.

He was like an incompetent simp; unable to avenge his beloved goddess, he could only seethe with rage.

He knelt on one knee, reached out his hands, and scooped Bo Saixi into his arms in a princess carry.

Sea Dragon Douluo's breathing was heavy, white mist venting from his nose and mouth as he thought, "So fragrant, so fragrant, so fragrant... Bo Saixi-sama has the salty scent of the ocean on her."

"What a simp." Seeing Sea Dragon Douluo acting like a spineless, infatuated simp, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't stand it and voiced his disdain.

"Simps are so disgusting." Qian Xunji chimed in, his tone filled with utter revulsion.

Both man and beast were thoroughly grossed out, and as a result, they began absorbing the energy within the Sea God's Light with even greater intensity.

Inside the library of the Sea God Temple.

Feeling disgusted, Qian Xunji had come to collect some mental damages.

The Sea God's Thirteen Halberds—hardly worth a look.

The so-called strongest control technique in the God Realm, "Unfixed Wind and Waves," was, to put it bluntly, just a binding spell.

It was only effective because it bullied those who didn't know the "Dhyana Mudra."

The method for creating God-Given Spirit Rings.

God-Given Spirit Ring = Sea God's Divine Power + Power of Faith + Spirit Beast Spirit Ring.

By using the Sea God's divine power to modify a spirit beast's spirit ring, a spirit master would consume the power of faith to increase the ring's age upon absorption.

So that was it. No wonder the original work depicted God-Given Spirit Rings on Sea God Island as being as common as wholesale goods; it was the power of faith working behind the scenes.

On the Douluo Continent, even a sect master of the Upper Three Sects like Ning Fengzhi didn't know of the Angel God's existence. It was easy to imagine that the Angel God had very few believers, and the power of faith they could provide was pitifully small.

The Angel family didn't know how to manage their affairs, and Qian Daoliu was nothing but a hindrance.

Qian Xunji left the Sea God Temple and passed through the trials of the seven Sacred Pillar Douluo one by one.

"Too simple," he muttered, then deployed his Eight Spider Lances and stabbed them into the Sea Star Sacred Pillar to absorb its energy.

As the amount of absorbed faith power increased, the Eight Spider Lances underwent a transformation.

The quality of the Eight Spider Lances reached the level of a semi-divine artifact.

This discovery piqued Qian Xunji's interest.

His physical body was already a semi-divine vessel, only a hair's breadth away from a true divine body.

Even after receiving the sacrifice of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and fusing with a million-year torso bone, he had only managed to achieve partial divine transformation of his body.

Reaching one hundred percent divine transformation looked like a small gap, but in reality, a miss by an inch was a miss by a thousand miles.

The Asura God had once told him during the eighth Asura trial that to carry the Asura God Position, one must possess divine power, a divine body, and divine consciousness. Only by merging these three into one and reaching the hundredth level to become a god could one perfectly fuse with the Asura God Position and inherit it.

The power of faith could elevate the quality of the Eight Spider Lances.

Once the Eight Spider Lances were upgraded to a divine artifact in advance, it could potentially drive Qian Xunji's physical body to reach the state of a divine body.

With his overwhelming martial prowess, he did as he pleased on Sea God Island. The seven—no, the six remaining Sacred Pillar Douluo—dared not show their anger openly, nor did they dare to speak a word.

After all, even if the six of them combined, they couldn't withstand a single Soul Shock.

On Sea God Island, the buildings destroyed by Qian Xunji's Convergence Cannon years ago had yet to be fully rebuilt.

Returning to the Sea God Temple, he stood before the Sea God Trident.

Qian Xunji put on his gloves, reached out his right hand, gripped the center of the shaft, and with a single pull, drew the Sea God Trident out.

Bo Saixi, who had awakened to witness this scene, immediately summoned the Sea God Phantom.

The descending Sea God consciousness was not surprised to see Qian Xunji pull out the 108,000-jin Sea God Trident with one hand.

"Successor of Asura," the deity spoke, "this is the divine artifact of this Sea God; you cannot take it away."

"Your Excellency Sea God, rest assured. I am merely curious about divine artifacts; I am not a thief who would forcibly seize one."

"Furthermore, as for the matter of holding a trident to show off and fight..."

Qian Xunji didn't finish his sentence, but the look of disdain on his face and the resistance in his tone made the Sea God's mouth twitch.

In his heart, he actually wished Qian Xunji would just act like a thief and steal the Sea God Trident.

That bastard Asura must be laughing at me behind my back, seeing his successor look down on my Sea God Trident, Poseidon thought, feeling both angry and frustrated, helpless and bitter.

Ever since the Asura God gave Qian Xunji his trials, he hadn't encountered a single good thing.

He was numb from all the losses.

He was now like an incompetent Sea God, forced to accept everything.

"Damn it, you bastard, Asura's successor! You're using the Asura Demon Sword to trim down my Sea God Trident—that's going too far!" Poseidon roared in impotent rage.

"Your Excellency Sea God, that is a misconception. I am merely curious if there are differences between divine artifacts."

"A thirst for knowledge is the beginning of human progress."

Facing the solemn and eloquent Qian Xunji, Poseidon remained silent, simply retracting the Sea God Trident and having the man escorted off the island.

He was afraid that if Qian Xunji stayed on Sea God Island any longer, he would shear the island like a sheep until it was completely bald.

"Bo Saixi, you are to depart for the Douluo Continent immediately. Find a spirit master named Tang Hao, bring him back to Sea God Island, and cultivate him with all your might."

"Yes, Lord Sea God. I shall obey your divine oracle." Bo Saixi knelt on one knee, looking utterly respectful.
