Winning Over Bo Saixi and Setting Foot on the Nine Heaven Mysterious Steps
"Literally, it means I can make you the successor of the Sea God." Qian Xunling looked at Bo Saxi and continued, "The Sea God's purpose in cooperating with me is to have me help him find a suitable successor and then pass on the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."
"If you are willing to grant my request, I would be willing to Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and make you its new master." Qian Xunling's expression turned serious, and Bo Saixi's heart fluttered upon hearing this, but not because of Qian Xunling's charm.
Rather, it's the allure of the successor to the Sea God.
Was she truly willing to become the spokesperson for the Sea God, and even to sacrifice her Life for the Sea God's birth?
Humans are selfish. Even gods fear death, let alone a woman like her who hasn't even seen the whole world but possesses extraordinary abilities.
Seeing her pause, Qian Xunling knew he had moved her and smiled, "How about it, Great Enshrined? Isn't this a good offer? I'm a man of my word, and I never go back on my word. As long as you agree, I will definitely give you the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."
"I..." Bo Saixi's lips trembled slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "I don't have the talent to inherit the Sea God's talent. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
"No! You have the qualifications!" Qian Xunling shouted, causing Bo Saixi's face to tremble. Qian Xunling strode up to her and said seriously, "Bo Saixi, your Martial Soul is a divinely God-Bestowed Martial Soul by the Sea God. Your talent is second only to Tang Chen, and no one on the entire continent is more suited to the Sea God than you. Have some confidence!"
As if Bo Saixi had become an educated little girl, Bo Saixi noticed this abnormality and tried to control her emotions, but she couldn't avoid Qian Xunling's question, because Qian Xunling said was indeed true.
Is there anyone more suitable to be the Sea God than her?
Seeing that her face was no longer like an ice sculpture, Qian Xunling pressed on, "Don't tell me some nonsense about only activating the Red Level Seven Trials. That's because you don't have the Sea God's Heart. If the Sea God's Heart recognized you as its master, you would definitely be the successor of the Sea God."
Bo Saixi looked at Qian Xunling in surprise again, her eyes wide open, as if she were looking at a worm in her stomach.
Qian Xunling was speechless at her gaze, and before she could hear a reply, Qian Xunling became even angrier and snapped, "Say something!"
But Bo Saixi couldn't utter a single word. Qian Xunling abruptly placed her hands on Poseidon's shoulders and angrily demanded, "Are you still the Great Enshrined Sea God Island?!"
"I... of course I am." Bo Saixi snapped out of her daze, feeling the warmth on her shoulder, her hair standing on end. She immediately pushed Qian Xunling away, coldly saying, "Don't touch me."
Forced back more than ten meters by the shock of the Soul Power, Qian Xunling knelt on one knee, gritted her teeth, and wondered if all her words had been wasted.
However, Qian Xunling could see that Bo Saixi was not able to process so much information at once, so she chose to stay where she was and wait for her to calm down.
After a while, Bo Saixi loosened her grip on the staff with her right hand, her emotions calming down. She then looked at Qian Xunling and asked, "Can you really make the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud recognize me as its master?"
Hearing this, Qian Xunling smiled, her gaze softening considerably as she looked at her, and said, "If you don't believe me, go ask the Sea God. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is mine now, and even he can't change it."
Bo Saixi turned her head away, not looking at Qian Xunling's face, and said, "Your offer is indeed attractive to me, but I'm not as powerful as you think. I can't defeat the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
"I know, but have you forgotten who I am? Qian Daoliu is my adoptive father. As long as I want something, as long as I play the victim, he will definitely help me." Qian Xunling waved her hand and said.
"That's true. You are Qian Daoliu's son. If we join forces with Qian Daoliu to fight the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, we might suffer heavy losses, but we'll have a high chance of killing it." Bo Saixi's expression relaxed slightly, and then he said, "If we can call on Tang Chen, we'll definitely be able to kill the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King."
"However, I still have a question. Killing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is a test given by the Lord Sea God to Sea God successor. Is this inappropriate?" Bo Saixi looked at Qian Xunling.
Qian Xunling chuckled, "Then this shouldn't be a problem for us, but rather something the Sea God himself should consider. Anyway, he set the rule of having only one successor to the Sea God. If he won't let me inherit his God Trial, he can't possibly prevent you from inheriting either, right? If he won't even let you inherit, then he might as well just abolish the Godhood of Sea God altogether."
Bo Saixi fell silent.
She was still unaware of her relationship with Tang Chen, Qian Xunling thought was fine.
Anyway, Tang Chen will definitely enter the Slaughter City within the next year or two. Qian Xunling is confident that she can raise her Soul Power from level 83 to Level 90 within two years. At least during the time she is hunting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, she and Tang Chen will not be able to meet.
A long silence followed Sea God Hall. Bo Saixi glanced at Qian Xunling and said, "You can leave now. I'll think about this further and let you know later."
"Alright, I believe you, Great Enshrined." Qian Xunling smiled, then turned around and waved.
Bo Saixi had already agreed, but she was still trying to reassure herself. She had never done anything against the Sea God, so she was having trouble making a decision.
However, the Sea God was too attractive to her. Her mind was in a mess, and she tried to calm herself down. But as soon as she calmed down, she recalled the heavy feeling and warmth on her shoulders. She gently touched her shoulders, but she couldn't get rid of the feeling.
After leaving the Sea God Hall, Qian Xunling's gloomy expression lessened somewhat.
The purpose of this trip has been half achieved; the other half is to wait for my father to enter the game so that I can reach Level 90.
"This is the first time I've ever seen someone come out of the Sea God Hall smiling." The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar looked at Qian Xunling's expression with some curiosity, then added, "Usually, when the Great Enshrined summons us to the Sea God Hall, it's for something important, and we can't afford to be negligent."
Chen Jianjun nodded and said, "Just by looking at the magnificent yet imposing Sea God Hall, I can understand how you feel, brother."
"Is that so? You truly are my confidant, Brother Jun."
"Brother Sea Horse."
Qian Xunling looked at them speechlessly and with disdain, feeling that their bromance seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
So they chose to ignore them and flew straight down to the Sea God Mountain.
"Young Master Xunling, wait for me!" Chen Jianjun raised his hand and said. Chen Xin quickly followed, but Qian Xunling ran even faster.
However, Qian Xunling did not leave immediately. Instead, she went to the three hundred steps corresponding to Xiao Wu's position and slowly descended.
"Wow!" Xiao Wu looked at Qian Xunling in surprise. Qian Xunling was suddenly bent over by the Sea God's Light and complained, "So heavy."
The Sea Horse in the air said to everyone, "The Nine Heaven Mysterious Steps are filled with the Sea God's Light the Sea God. The higher you go, the greater the pressure and mental impact you will experience. However, if you can endure it, it will greatly benefit the Soul Master."
"Father, I'd like to try too." Chen Xin looked at Chen Jianjun, Sea Horse smiled, "If it's you two, there won't be any restrictions."
Chen Jianjun nodded, and Chen Xin flew to the bottom of the Nine Heaven Mysterious Steps, climbing up step by step. The Sea Horse Sacred Pillar nodded in satisfaction, but his gaze returned to Qian Xunling.
Qian Xunling calmed herself down and then began to walk up step by step.
