Riding on Bo Saixi's soul-powered boat, with her robust soul force propelling them forward, the duo made swift progress.
In less than two days, they had crossed the sea and arrived outside Sea God Island.
During this time, they encountered no one.
The numerous sea soul beasts guarding outside Sea God Island, as well as the vast stock of demonic soul Great White Sharks, remained unseen.
Stepping onto the island, Su Cheng immediately sensed its uniqueness and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's quite different from the mainland, a good place indeed."
Although it was winter, the climate on the island was warm like spring, with exceptionally fresh and moist air.
Bo Saixi glanced at him upon hearing his comment but didn't say much, appearing reserved and solemn compared to before.
Su Cheng also noticed her current demeanor.
Compared to their time on the Douluo Continent, she seemed much more dignified now, not as carefree as before.
Blinking, he couldn't help but think, "Seems like her status here is quite extraordinary."
Su Cheng didn't mind and followed Bo Saixi towards the forest ahead, while observing their surroundings.
Casually, he remarked, "Sea God Island is indeed vast, with a unique environment. I never knew such a place existed overseas; I've never heard of it before."
With a hint of confusion on his face, he continued, "But where is everyone? Aren't there supposed to be guards or something for a place like this?"
Normally, any significant force would have soul masters acting as guards.
Even if there were few people at sea, there would still be some sea soul masters traversing or trading ships passing by. How could an inhabited island be unguarded?
Moreover, Sea God Island, named after the sea god and capable of nurturing powerhouses like Bo Saixi herself, was likely to have a status at sea similar to the Spirit Hall on the Douluo Continent.
"You're with me now," Bo Saixi said calmly, though she felt somewhat helpless inside.
After spending these few days together, she had noticed.
The personality of the person beside her was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, and he was clearly more lively and talkative than the person she remembered. Although he often brought her some novelty and warmth, not making her guard up, she occasionally missed her previous disciple, who was more mature and deep in thought.
As for those guarding Sea God Island, she had naturally driven them away with her authority over the island.
She didn't want to waste time on such matters.
Soon, the two passed through the dense forest surrounding Sea God Island and the scene before Su Cheng surprised him slightly.
Before him lay a pond, approximately six hundred meters in diameter. However, it was clearly not an inland lake; the water surface was as turbulent as the sea, despite no apparent wind.
The crystal-clear seawater allowed visibility to the bottom, where small marine creatures swam, though there seemed to be no sea soul beasts.
In the center of the water pool stood a circular platform about thirty meters in diameter, adorned with tall circular stone pillar sculptures.
The pillars, over twenty meters high, were a deep blue color resembling seawater, engraved with numerous intricate patterns. It seemed to be a form of writing, emanating an invisible and strange energy from the peculiar pillars.
At the top, a blue dragon coiled around, its finely carved scales lifelike.
In the distance, a mountain peak stood opposite a massive sea dragon sculpture, appearing quite spectacular.
After a brief observation, Su Cheng's attention focused on the edge of the circular platform.
There stood a shirtless man, with a rugged face and bronze skin, possessing the same distinctive deep blue eyes as Bo Saixi.
Standing over two meters tall, he had an exceptionally muscular physique, with broad shoulders resembling stacked granite. His shoulder-length deep blue hair flowed naturally.
On his solid arm, there was a blue dragon pattern tattoo, almost identical to the one circling the top of the pillar.
The man emitted a powerful and vigorous energy, even stronger than Bo Saixi's restrained aura by Su Cheng's side.
In the next moment, to Su Cheng's slight surprise, he saw the man bow respectfully to the red-robed woman beside him and say in a deep voice, "Greetings, Great Priestess."
"Great Priestess?" Su Cheng looked at the beauty beside him, puzzled.
During their conversation on the way, he had learned her name, but specific information such as her cultivation level, identity, and age remained unknown, as she had never revealed it.
Now, it seemed her status and position on Sea God Island were even higher than he had imagined.
Even the nearby powerhouse, a Title Douluo, showed extreme respect, not daring to be negligent, which seemed to stem from genuine reverence rather than just her title as "Great Priestess."
Bo Saixi nodded calmly.
Then, releasing her soul power, she lifted Su Cheng and floated them both onto the platform in an instant.
The Sea Dragon Douluo's gaze shifted towards Su Cheng, asking with curiosity, "Who is this?"
"Let's give him the test of summoning Lord Sea God," Bo Saixi replied, without intending to elaborate further.
Although the Sea Dragon Douluo was somewhat puzzled, not knowing the background of this young man who was personally brought by the Great Priestess, who hadn't appeared for many years, to undergo the test, he didn't ask further questions and didn't hesitate either.
He calmly walked to the front of the pillar and, facing the imposing sea dragon statue, his eyes filled with devoutness.
Then, he slowly raised his hands to chest level, and a faint blue light appeared in the center of his palms. The palms were held about half a foot apart from each other, and the blue light gradually intensified...
When the blue light filled the Sea Dragon Douluo's palms, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth, enveloping the entire platform in a clear blue glow.
Immediately after, the light beneath the pillar flashed, and a blue light spread along the patterns on the pillar, almost instantly climbing to the top.
At that moment, Su Cheng, who had been silently standing nearby, suddenly felt a slight movement in his eyes.
His instinct told him it was time.
At the same time, the undetectable drop of Origin Energy hidden under his skin began to swiftly move up his body along his meridians.
Starting from his right hand, passing through his arm, shoulders, and finally reaching the top of his left arm.
Then, it quickly extended and formed a thin membrane enveloping his entire left arm.
If someone were to perceive him without using their eyes at this moment, they would find that Su Cheng appeared to be a person with a freshly severed left arm.
All the meridians, muscles, and fibers throughout his body were severed at this point, causing energy flow obstruction and blood circulation blockage from this point onwards.
This also meant that although his personal strength was formidable, surpassing the limit level achievable by peers, and he even possessed a sixth-hundred-thousand-year-level Spirit Ring.
But his path forward was cut off, with almost no potential remaining. It was highly likely that he would only reach the rank of Spirit Emperor in his lifetime, with no second Martial Soul to speak of.
However, clearly, as the test under the pillar was about to begin, whether it was the Sea Dragon Douluo or the Great Priestess Poseidon, they would not make any disrespectful moves such as releasing mental power to sense this.
Silently looking at the pillar, Su Cheng also felt somewhat nervous.
He knew that Origin Energy was of an extremely high level, but he didn't have a hundred percent certainty that he could deceive the divine power detection.
At the next moment, the Sea Dragon Douluo turned to look at Su Cheng, pointing his finger at his body.
A blue light beam descended from the sky, enveloping Su Cheng's entire body.
Bathed in the light beam, he didn't feel much abnormality.
Then, amidst the nervous, expectant, or puzzled gazes of the people present, the color of the light beam began to change...
First, it changed from blue to white. Slowly, it shifted from white to yellow...
At the moment when the colors appeared, Bo Saixi's brows furrowed tightly.
This change in speed... something's wrong.
After a moment, the light beam finally changed from yellow to purple.
And on the pillar behind the Sea Dragon Douluo, the lowest pattern also began to turn purple, gradually ascending upwards.
Immediately afterward, three purple lights shot out, appearing in front of Su Cheng simultaneously, turning into three square-shaped light screens. Each light screen flickered with some special golden characters.
The light on the first screen was bright, while the words on the other two screens were relatively dim.
Then the three light screens quickly converged and turned into three purple lights that simultaneously entered Su Cheng's forehead. A purple triangle also appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this scene, the Sea Dragon Douluo subconsciously looked at Bo Saixi standing beside him.
Although his gaze was as respectful as ever, there seemed to be a hint of doubt in it, as if asking, "Is this it?"
Purple Level Three Test is indeed quite good.
Even on Sea God Island, it's rare to see.
As long as the soul master who successfully passes the test, they will almost certainly become a backbone force of Sea God Island in the future.
That is second only to the existence of the Pillar Douluo, with a high probability of possessing the strength of a Spirit Saint or even a Spirit Douluo.
But whether it's good or not depends on the person.
This young man was personally brought by the Great Priestess; how could he possibly stop at just a Purple Level Three Test?
Is there something wrong in this process?
What is the purpose of the Great Priestess bringing this person here?
Su Cheng looked at the stunning woman in red robes with a bewildered expression, "Sister, is this the divine inheritance you mentioned before?"
Bo Saixi: "..."
She had thought that Su Cheng might get a top-level Eighth Test, or even the Sea God's Ninth Test.
Of course, a top-level Seventh Test would also be acceptable, or at worst, a Black Level Sixth Test.
But none of the guesses included a Purple Level Three Test.
