With the protection of the Vast Sea Protective Shroud, Lin Mo and the others made their way step by step towards the location of Sea God Island.
Gradually, everyone felt the seabed rising, and soon the surrounding light brightened as they approached the surface.
We're almost at Sea God Island.
However, soon after Dugu Yan reminded them, everyone held their breath.
Not far ahead of them, a silvery-white shark silently darted past, disappearing in the blink of an eye like Ghost type.
It was a white shark over ten meters long, with a perfectly streamlined body and a faint sheen on its white skin. It was incredibly fast, and the seawater seemed to ripple wherever it went.
"Is this the Demon Soul Great White Shark?" Feng Xiaotian stared intently at the departing shark, remarking with awe.
Shui Yue'er, still very excited, chimed in, "As a complete bystander, to be honest, it doesn't seem as good as the Evil Spirit Orca!"
Everyone nodded in agreement with Shui Yue'er's words.
In terms of cultivation level alone, this Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Evil Spirit Orca that Shui Yue'er absorbed are about the same, but the size difference between the two is quite huge.
Even though they haven't seen the remaining Deep Sea Demon Whale from the three dominant races yet, based on the two they've already seen, they can deduce that the weakest of the three dominant races should be the Demon Soul Great White Shark.
Huo Wu nodded and said softly, " The Pressure of the Evil Spirit Orca is much stronger than that of this shark."
Lin Mo's gaze fell on the direction where the Demon Soul Great White Shark had disappeared, and he remained silent.
He knew perfectly well that the creature he had just encountered was merely a member of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.
The true Demon Soul Great White Shark King, the guardian beast with 100,000 years of cultivation, is the one they need to be wary of.
They were lucky, however, and didn't run into the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai, head-on.
Dugu Yan said softly, "Let's go, don't waste time. The sooner we get to the island, the sooner we can get this over with."
Everyone nodded and continued forward.
After narrowly escaping the Demon Soul Great White Shark, the group quickened their pace. Soon, their surroundings became clearer, and they carefully made their way out of the sea.
The moment the last person stepped onto the beach, the pale blue light shield of the Vast Sea Protective Shroud quietly dissipated, and Dugu Yan retracted it into her body.
Upon setting foot on Sea God Island, their first sensation was warmth, a spring-like warmth.
Looking out, Sea God Island is all green, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The air was fresh and moist, with a refreshing and invigorating scent, and the wind carried the faint sounds of the sea's roar and murmur.
Upon arriving here, the first thing you notice is the tranquility; the sea and sky blend seamlessly, and seagulls soar in the sky.
The sky was a deep, clear, and bright blue.
Seeing the scenery here, everyone couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated. Zhu Zhuqing, who had always longed to visit this place, was even somewhat dazed.
She stood on the beach, gazing at the distant blue horizon where the sea met the sky, her eyes fixed on it for Jiujiu.
If I could stay here, perhaps I could truly escape the past and live the life I want.
The thought flashed through her mind.
Dugu Yan let out a soft breath and turned her head to look at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo Frisk her gaze and nodded slightly.
Dugu Yan understood, and with a slight thought, the blue triangular mark between her brows slowly disappeared.
The Vast Sea Protective Shroud that had enveloped everyone gradually dissipated, and the blue light receded like the tide, exposing everyone's figures once again to the fresh air of Sea God Island.
Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, stretched his shoulders, and took the lead in walking towards the island.
Zhu Zhuqing and Huo Wu stood guard on either side of the group, their eyes scanning the surrounding woods warily.
Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er were protected in the center by the group. As support and Control System Soul Master Soul Master in the team, they needed to be prioritized for protection.
Lin Mo brought up the rear of the group, his gaze calmly sweeping over the woods not far away, his mental energy quietly spreading out.
However, before they could take more than a few steps into the island, a slightly surprised voice came from the forest not far away.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
As soon as the words were spoken, five or six figures darted out of the forest.
The clothes these people were wearing were quite distinctive; in terms of color, they were divided into two types: yellow and white.
Three people dressed in white, two dressed in yellow, and a middle-aged man, also dressed in yellow, stood at the front.
Lin Mo glanced down at the people's clothing and felt a sense of relief.
Judging from their clothing, the three people in white must have passed the White-Level Trial on Sea God Island.
The two people in yellow were naturally those undergoing the Yellow-Level Trial.
In addition to the White Level and Yellow Level, the assessments on Sea God Island are also divided into three levels: purple, black, and red.
In addition, there are the Sea God's Nine Trials, which only the High Priest knows and which exist only in records.
Shui Yue'er stepped forward first, a sweet smile on her face.
She deliberately channeled the aura of her Martial Soul, and the fluctuations belonging to the Dolphin Martial Soul quietly spread out.
"We admire the prestigious reputation of Sea God Island and hope to pass the trials and join Sea God..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the oldest of the yellow-clad Sea Soul Master.
He looked Lin Mo and his group up and down, his gaze sweeping over each of them, his brows gradually furrowing.
"Were you illegal immigrants?"
His voice carried a clear sense of doubt, and a hint of wariness.
Shui Yue'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head. "No, we came here openly and honestly, to join Sea God Island!"
Her tone betrayed a clear guilty conscience, after all, they had indeed sneaked up using the Vast Sea Protective Shroud, which, strictly speaking, constituted illegal immigration.
The middle-aged man shook his head, his expression resolute. " Sea God Island does not welcome outsiders."
"Moreover, you are a group of land-based Soul Master; you have absolutely no chance of passing the test of the Great Sea God."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Shui Yue'er.
"Leave the place the way you came. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
As soon as he finished speaking, the five Sea Soul Master behind him stepped forward simultaneously, their Soul Power surging, looking ready to attack at any moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Shui Yue'er opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Dugu Yan beside her.
Dugu Yan stepped forward, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked calmly, "Can't one join Sea God Island through a test?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"You seem to know a little about Sea God Island."
His gaze swept over the crowd again, finally settling on Shui Yue'er.
"However, I can tell you definitively that only this young girl among you has a chance to pass Lord Sea God's test, and that's only because of her Martial Soul."
At this point, he glanced at the rest of the people with considerable disdain.
"It's good for young people to have courage, but if they only have reckless enthusiasm, they will only needlessly throw away their lives."
His tone carried a clear warning, along with a hint of condescending superiority.
Just then, Feng Xiaotian stepped forward.
His Soul Power surged, and he unleashed his aura, which was only a step away from becoming Soul Emperor, without reservation.
He looked at the middle-aged man, his expression serious. "We came to Sea God Island for training."
The middle-aged man looked at Feng Xiaotian, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He hadn't expected that this seemingly young man was already close to the Soul Emperor realm.
Such talent would be considered outstanding even on Sea God Island.
He remained silent for a moment, then looked at the others before finally speaking slowly:
"For the sake of this young girl, we'll give you a chance to participate in the test."
He pointed to Shui Yue'er, "With this little girl's talent and strength, her chances of passing the assessment and staying on Sea God Island are quite high."
As for you...
"After witnessing the trials bestowed by the Sea God, you have one last chance to choose whether to leave or stay."
That will be your last chance.
The group exchanged glances and agreed.
"We accept the test."
Shui Yue'er was quite pleased with herself, as she linked arms with Shui Bing'er with a clear smile on her face.
Now we're right on our home turf!
The Dolphin Martial Soul can exert its greatest advantage here, not to mention that she doesn't think she's inferior to those Sea Soul Master.
The middle-aged man gave them a deep look. "I hope you won't regret this."
He turned around and walked towards the woods behind him.
"Come with me."
The group followed the yellow-clad Sea Soul Master into the woods.
Lin Mo remained at the very back of the group, his spiritual power quietly spreading out to sense the strength of these Sea Soul Master.
The three white-robed Sea Soul Master had cultivation levels of two rings, two rings, and three rings respectively.
Two Sea Soul Master in yellow robes, both at the Five-Ring Soul King level.
The middle-aged man in yellow who had spoken to them earlier had the highest cultivation level, being Six-Ring Soul Emperor.
To Lin Mo's surprise, even the most powerful yellow-robed Sea Soul Master failed to Frisk his spiritual probe.
Lin Mo suddenly realized something.
Is it because the difference in their mental strength is too great?
Or was it because he didn't touch the surrounding buildings and plants affected by the Sea God Divine Power that he wasn't discovered?
He snapped out of his thoughts and continued following at the back of the group.
Led by the middle-aged man, the group quickly made their way through the woods.
What came into view was a pool of water, or rather, Sea Within the Sea on Sea God Island.
The pool is surrounded by dense forests, and the water is crystal clear. It is about 500 meters in diameter, and there is a triangular platform in the very center.
A stone pillar stands on the platform.
The stone pillar is shaped like a pointed cone, with a sculpture carved at the top that looks somewhat like a marine creature, Sea Horse.
Beneath the stone pillar, a person sat upright.
The man closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, seemingly Calm Mind.
His clothes were black.
Upon seeing this iconic landmark, Lin Mo immediately determined their current location.
This should be one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island.
The sculptures on the stone pillars also indicate that this is the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
The middle-aged man dressed in black should be the guardian Douluo of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, Sea Horse Douluo, Ou Ya.
Soon, the middle-aged man in yellow confirmed Lin Mo's guess.
He stopped and spoke slowly in a peculiar tone.
Welcome to the Sea Within the Sea, the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
He turned around and looked at everyone with a solemn expression.
" The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar is one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island."
" The Sea God bestowed divine power upon the Seven Sacred Pillars, through which the God's will is disseminated. Any one of the Seven Sacred Pillars Sacred Pillar can test visiting Soul Master."
"You will face the test from Lord Sea God here."
After saying this, he turned to the platform in the Sea Within the Sea, bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle, and said, "Reporting to Lord Sea Horse, a foreign land-based Soul Master has come to undergo a test. Please grant permission."
The moment he finished speaking, the black figure on the platform slowly opened his eyes.
Sea Horse Douluo slowly stood up, his voice deep and resonant, echoing across the sea. "Does a land-based Soul Master also wish to accept His Sea God God's test?"
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
"Only by crossing the Sea Within the Sea and reaching the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar will you be qualified to undergo the test."
As he spoke, a hazy blue light shone behind him, and then the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar behind him suddenly lit up.
A beam of azure light shone from below all the way to the top of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
Centered on the top of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, a blue wave suddenly surged out, like a curtain of light stretching across the Sea Within the Sea.
Since the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar is about ten meters tall, the light curtain suspended Sea Within the Sea is also ten meters high.
Needless to say, this ten-meter distance limits flight capability and room for maneuver.
The middle-aged man in yellow stepped aside and looked at the crowd. "The first test is right before us."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked at his companions beside him:
"It seems the first test has arrived. Only by crossing this Sea Within the Sea will we be qualified to remain here."
Who wants to go first?
The moment Lin Mo finished speaking, Shui Yue'er suddenly raised her hand.
"Me! Me! Me!"
Her eyes sparkled, her face was full of excitement, and she was so excited she almost jumped up.
Shui Bing'er looked at her younger sister, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, and softly advised, "Be careful. Although this is your home turf, you can't be careless."
Shui Yue'er nodded vigorously, a bright smile on her face, "Don't worry, sister, I'll be right there!"
After saying that, she released Shui Bing'er's hand and turned to face the vast Sea Within the Sea.
The Dolphin Martial Soul instantly possessed the body.
Two yellow, two purple, and one black Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath her feet, gently pulsating around her.
Shui Yue'er took a deep breath and leaped into the Sea Within the Sea with an extremely elegant posture.
It didn't even splash when it entered the water.
She darted through the water at incredible speed.
As a speed- Agility Attack System Soul Master, Shui Yue'er unleashed her full potential for speed for the first time in the vast ocean, her home turf.
Her figure shot off like a silver arrow towards the direction of the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
The Sea Soul Beast living in the sea Frisk that someone had intruded and surrounded them from all directions.
It was a group of Sea Horse, ranging in size from a few meters to more than ten meters, and their cultivation levels ranging from a hundred years to a thousand years.
They wanted to try to stop this human who dared to trespass into their territory.
However, Shui Yue'er was too fast.
They didn't even have time to keep up with Shui Yue'er's pace Shui Yue'er, with her speed advantage, steadily crossed the Sea Within the Sea and landed in front of Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya!
