Chapter 123: Praising the Sea God, Bo Saixi Becomes His Subordinate
After leaving the Heaven Dou Empire, Yun Yuan headed toward the sea, searching for the location of Sea God Island according to the map given to him by Qian Xunji.
A few days later, Yun Yuan's figure appeared high in the sky above a vast ocean.
Below him was an island about four hundred miles in diameter, shrouded in a hazy pale blue light, with a refreshing sea breeze and a rich lingering aura of marine elements.
The island was covered with ancient forests and lush trees, with rolling hills and beautiful scenery. Seven majestic sacred pillars stood in a staggered pattern, and a magnificent and solemn hall stood at the highest point in the center, with divine light faintly flowing around it.
This island was Yun Yuan's destination: Sea God Island!
Now, Yun Yuan had become the successor of the Sea God, and this Sea God Island was essentially his own territory.
Passing through the thick fog, Yun Yuan's figure landed directly in the highest hall at the center of Sea God Island, next to the Sea God's Temple.
The moment Yun Yuan arrived, a powerful and terrifying aura emanated from the Sea God's Temple.
Immediately afterward, an exceptionally elegant figure emerged from the Sea God's Temple. It was the High Priest of Sea God Island, the level 99 Sea God Douluo, Bo Saixi!
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on Sea God Island?"
Bo Saixi's exquisitely beautiful face showed anger, clearly displeased with Yun Yuan's unauthorized intrusion onto Sea God Island, believing that Yun Yuan's actions had offended the Sea God.
"Ahem, well, I am the successor of the Sea God, and I've come to discuss something with you."
Just as Yun Yuan spoke the truth, Bo Saixi directly attacked, pressing down on Yun Yuan with terrifying soul power and spiritual power.
"You madman, as the High Priest of Sea God Island, I have never seen you before, nor have you ever undergone the divine examination of Sea God Island. How could you possibly become the successor of Lord Sea God?"
At this moment, a chill ran through Bo Saixi's eyes; she sensed that Yun Yuan had deliberately come to cause trouble.
What angered her most was that Yun Yuan dared to impersonate the Sea God's successor, which was a great disrespect toward the Sea God.
Today, Bo Saixi vowed to teach Yun Yuan, this disrespectful man, a profound lesson.
Seeing that Bo Saixi was about to make a move, Yun Yuan felt like crying. He, the inheritor of the Sea God's legacy, was being attacked by the High Priest of Sea God Island in front of the Sea God's Temple.
However, Yun Yuan knew that this was not Bo Saixi's fault. After all, the rules of the divine trials passed down from Sea God Island had been completely changed, and Yun Yuan was now the one who formulated the rules of the Sea God's Nine Trials.
Immediately afterward, Yun Yuan revealed the mark of the Sea God on his forehead, and the aura of the Sea God instantly stunned Bo Saixi.
"This is... the mark of the Sea God's Nine Trials?!"
"How is this possible? How could you possibly become the successor of Lord Sea God?!"
Upon seeing the divine test mark on Yun Yuan's forehead, Bo Saixi felt as if her worldview had been dealt a heavy blow.
As the High Priestess of Sea God Island, no one knew better than her how to inherit the position of the Sea God.
First, one must obtain the Heart of the Sea God before undergoing the divine trials on Sea God Island. If one passed the highest level of the Sea God's Nine Trials, one would become the successor of the Sea God and inherit the Sea God's divine position.
But now, Bo Saixi had never even seen this outsider before, so how did he obtain the Sea God's Nine Trials?
Could it be that the Sea God had changed the rules?
After much thought, Bo Saixi concluded that there was only one possibility; otherwise, Yun Yuan would not possess the mark of the Divine Trial on his forehead.
"High Priest, do you believe me now?"
Retracting the divine test mark from his forehead, Yun Yuan looked at Bo Saixi with great interest.
"The mark of the divine test cannot be faked. Although I do not know how you obtained the inheritance of the Sea God, since you have already obtained the Sea God's Nine Trials."
"From this day forward, I will help you complete the Sea God's Nine Trials so that you can fulfill my mission as the High Priest as soon as possible."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bo Saixi planned to lead Yun Yuan into the Sea God's Temple and tell him about the Sea God's Nine Trials.
From the moment she unleashed her soul power and spiritual power to oppress Yun Yuan, and Yun Yuan showed no reaction whatsoever, Bo Saixi knew that Yun Yuan's strength was probably no less than hers.
Such a successor would find it easy to complete the Sea God's Nine Trials. Perhaps in just a few years, Bo Saixi would completely fulfill her mission.
"High Priest, the Sea God's assessment you mentioned has already been canceled by the Sea God himself; he may simply not have informed you in time."
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi was stunned. The divine assessment, which had been passed down since the ascension of the Sea God, was now invalid.
In just a few minutes, Bo Saixi experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, going from being filled with faith to questioning the meaning of life.
The next moment, Bo Saixi's voice slowly rang out:
"Inheritor, I will consult with the Sea God later to see if this divine assessment should be invalidated. You should come with me into the Sea God's Temple first."
Yun Yuan nodded and followed Bo Saixi into the Sea God's Temple. Once inside, Yun Yuan's gaze lingered on the Sea God's Throne and the Trident Base on the main platform of the third level in the central area.
Floating above the base was the Sea God's ultimate artifact, the Sea God's Trident!
"I wonder if the Sea God's Trident could be included in the rewards for the Divine Trial?"
Yun Yuan believed that displaying this super artifact was a waste. After hunting down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and completing the first divine test, he planned to try and see whether he could use the Sea God's Trident as a reward for the divine test.
A few minutes later, after Bo Saixi finished communicating with the Sea God, she returned to Yun Yuan's side, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
The information that the Sea God had just conveyed to her was that the Sea God's Nine Trials would be entirely decided by Yun Yuan, the inheritor.
In addition, the Sea God's divine will also gave her a divine decree that she, as the High Priest, must unconditionally obey the orders of Yun Yuan, the successor, and must not resist in the slightest.
"Successor, I have already consulted with the Sea God. The divine examination is your decision, and even I must obey your orders."
Bo Saixi addressed Yun Yuan with utmost respect. She was now considered Yun Yuan's subordinate, as the Sea God had issued a divine decree ordering her to unconditionally obey Yun Yuan's commands.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yuan smiled slightly and silently gave the Sea God a thumbs-up in his heart. Then, he gave Bo Saixi his first command.
"High Priest, since the Sea God has given the order, you are now my subordinate."
"Now use the power of Sea God Island to find the whereabouts of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. After a while, my grandmaster will come here. At that time, the three of us will hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King together."
Upon hearing Yun Yuan's request, Bo Saixi nodded slightly in agreement.
Although she was puzzled that Yun Yuan was going to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King now, the Sea God had just issued a divine decree that she must unconditionally obey Yun Yuan's orders.
Just as she was about to go down and carry out the order, Yun Yuan suddenly spoke up, telling her to stay where she was.
"Successor, is there anything else you wish to instruct?"
In response, Yun Yuan simply released his Yin-Yang complementary soul power slightly, allowing Bo Saixi to experience it firsthand.
