A moment later.
The Demon Soul Great White Shark docked at the shore.
Upon reaching the shore, Gu Wuchen glanced around and saw buildings in the distance that differed from those on the mainland, indicating that the local inhabitants also had their own way of life.
Many cities, as well as the palace standing at the highest point of Sea God Island, are as magnificent and large as the Pope's Palace.
"Welcome to Sea God Island. Please follow me. The High Priest has arranged accommodations for you in Seahorse City."
Xiao Bai bowed respectfully and led the way.
The three followed Xiao Bai to Seahorse City.
In Seahorse City, many fans of the original work expressed their confusion upon seeing the three arrive.
Sea God Island has been deserted for a long time, and this was brought by Xiao Bai himself, so the three of them must be extraordinary individuals.
We arrived at a hotel.
Xiao Bai said, "The three of you should rest first. We'll head to Sea God Island tomorrow. You must be tired after traveling all day."
The three of them did not refuse, entered the inn, found their own rooms, and began to rest.
The next morning, just after Gu Wuchen and the other two had finished breakfast, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Upon opening the door, a woman in a navy blue dress stood outside.
She wore a conch necklace around her neck, had gentle eyes and a sweet smile, but her lower body was a fishtail.
"Greetings to Your Excellencies, and greetings to Young Master Gu." The Sea Witch Douluo bowed slightly, her voice as gentle as the waves. "Clan Chief Xiao Bai has matters to attend to in her clan today and specifically asked me to escort the three of you to the Sea God Hall."
Gu Wuchen's heart stirred slightly; the Sea Witch Douluo, one of the Seven Sacred Pillars.
"Thank you for your trouble," Gu Linchuan nodded.
The Sea Witch Douluo turned and led the way, with the three following closely behind.
Along the way, we passed one Sacred Pillar Sacred Pillar after another, each carved with a different marine Soul Beast, exuding a faint divine power.
Looking at these ancient buildings, Gu Wuchen sighed inwardly, " Sea God Island has a history of ten thousand years; its cultural heritage is indeed profound."
Before long, a magnificent palace came into view.
The palace is entirely constructed of deep-sea jade, and its roof is carved with a massive Sea God Trident, which gleams in the sunlight.
The Sea Witch Douluo pushed open the heavy palace door and gestured for people to enter:
"Please come in, gentlemen. The high priest is already waiting inside."
The three stepped into the Sea God Hall.
The hall was spacious and solemn, with light streaming in from the crystal windows in the dome, illuminating the high platform in the center.
On the high platform sat a white-haired woman.
She wore a long, flowing sea-blue dress, her hair was as white as snow, and although her face bore the marks of time, it remained dignified and sacred. Her deep blue eyes were as profound as the sea, and she exuded an awe-inspiring divine power.
Gu Wuchen was shocked. This was Bo Saixi, one of the three Peerless Douluo of the present day, the High Priest of Sea God Island.
Her aura was even more restrained than Qian Daoliu's, yet it carried a sense of oppression originating from a deity, inspiring awe in all who beheld her.
Of course, for herself, Bo Saixi was just Bo Saixi.
" Saixi."
Shen Suwei and called out.
Bo Saixi immediately stood up, walked over to Shen Suwei, and embraced her after a long time apart.
" Suwei has finally deigned to come see me. It's been almost ten years since we last parted."
Bo Saixi's tone carried a hint of nostalgia.
As the high priestess, she could not leave Sea God Island without permission and could only wait silently.
"Here I am, and I've brought my son, Gu Wuchen."
Bo Saixi released Shen Suwei and turned to look at Gu Wuchen, who was standing in the same spot.
The young man was dressed in white, his posture upright, with a faint coolness in his eyes and a calm, steady aura.
Gu Wuchen nodded slightly. "Greetings, High Priest."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the resentful look in Shen Suwei's eyes.
Helpless, Gu Wuchen quickly corrected himself, "Nephew Gu Wuchen greets Aunt."
Bo Saixi smiled slightly, " Chen'er, is it alright if I call you that?"
"Auntie, please feel free to do as you please." Gu Wuchen didn't mind.
Bo Saixi smiled and said, " Chen'er, this is the first time your aunt has met you. Let your aunt see your strength and whether you have inherited your parents' abilities."
Gu Wuchen raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Is Auntie questioning whether I'm a spoiled brat?"
"Auntie didn't mean that," Bo Saixi shook her head. "I'm just worried that your playfulness will interfere with your cultivation. If you really fall behind, Auntie can still help you. As Suwei's child, I can't watch you fall into depravity."
She was aware of Gu Linchuan and Shen Suwei's talents, but she wasn't sure if Gu Wuchen, under their pampering, had become arrogant, domineering, and incompetent.
"What if I have extraordinary talent?" Gu Wuchen asked with a smile.
"Then you can participate in the Sea God Trial." Bo Saixi looked at him. "I know why your mother came this time."
Gu Wuchen came to Sea God Island, naturally intending to try out the Sea God's test.
Gu Wuchen said no more, and with a flick of his right hand, the Dustless Sword appeared in his grasp.
The next moment, five Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.
Two purple, two black, and finally a blood-red Soul Ring —the unique pressure of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring instantly swept across the entire Sea God Hall.
Bo Saixi's smile froze instantly, her previously calm face turned completely pale, her small mouth opened slightly into an "O" shape, her eyes filled with disbelief.
A Soul King in his teens actually possesses Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Moreover, his third and Fourth Soul Ring are also at the 10,000-year level, which completely breaks all the ironclad rules of the Soul Master World.
Gu Linchuan and Shen Suwei were also stunned. They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
They only knew that their son had broken through to the Soul King, but they never knew that his fifth Soul Ring was actually 100,000 years old!
The Sea Witch Douluo stood frozen in place, her mind completely blank.
Who am I? Where am I? What kind of monster is this? Soul King in his teens, wearing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? This is simply not something a human could do!
"Auntie, it's normal that you think I'm a spoiled brat, but things won't turn out the way you want."
Gu Wuchen said calmly, "Auntie, if you ask me, you seem to be younger than me at my age."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
The Sea Witch Douluo was dumbfounded; how dare Young Master Gu speak like that?
Bo Saixi was not angry; instead, he admitted it.
"You're right, I am indeed inferior to you, and almost the entire continent is inferior to you."
Bo Saixi's reaction to Gu Wuchen's aggressive demeanor was somewhat surprising.
He was neither afraid nor concerned about his status as high priest; on the contrary, he was bold and decisive.
"Now that you've proven yourself, I'll grant your request and let you try out the Sea God's teachings."
Gu Wuchen shook his head. "I don't want to."
"What?" Bo Saixi thought she had misheard. "You don't want it? That's a chance to become the god of the Sea God."
" Saixi, let me tell you." Shen Suwei recounted Gu Wuchen's experiences, while Gu Wuchen himself put away his Martial Soul and left the Sea God Hall.
" Little Wuchen, let's go for a stroll on the beach. The Sea God Hall isn't very interesting."
Gu Wuchen had barely left the Sea God Hall when he heard Bo Saixi's exclamation.
"The divine lineage has already been established!"
Bo Saixi paused, then continued, "In that case, why not let Chen'er give it a try? What if he can also obtain the divine inheritance of the Sea God?"
Seeing Gu Wuchen about to leave, Bo Saixi rushed out of the Sea God Hall and grabbed Gu Wuchen, who hadn't gone far.
" Chen'er, you have to try, no matter what."
