Chapter 131: Bo Saixi's Oath, Ninth Soul Ring Target: Di Tian!
Sea God Island, Seven Holy Pillar City.
"What's going on? Why is there such a disturbance within the Sea God Temple? And judging by the situation, it seems to have been caused by Lord Sea God's inherited divine weapon, the Sea God Trident."
Within Seven Holy Pillar City, every Titled Douluo guarding the city looked up toward the Sea God Temple, each sharing the same thought inwardly.
Bo Saixi had yet to inform the Seven Holy Pillar Douluo about Yun Yuan becoming the Sea God's inheritor, so they still knew nothing of Yun Yuan's existence.
Therefore, they were extremely puzzled about what exactly had happened inside the Sea God Temple and why Lord Sea God's inherited divine artifact, the Sea God Trident, had undergone such an abnormal change.
With these thoughts in mind, the Seven Holy Pillar Douluo quickly departed from their positions and rushed toward the Sea God Temple at the center of Sea God Island.
Inside the Sea God Temple, after Yun Yuan finished receiving the first three forms of the Sea Gods Golden Thirteen Halberds, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement and exhilaration.
The first three forms of the Golden Thirteen Halberds not only granted him three powerful techniques but also provided profound inspiration for the path of creating his own soul skills.
"Lord Yun Yuan, congratulations on obtaining permanent usage rights of the Sea God Trident," Bo Saixi said with a faint smile as she stepped forward and looked at Yun Yuan, who had already drawn out the Sea God Trident.
At that moment, the seven Holy Pillar Douluo also entered the Sea God Temple from their respective holy cities.
Seeing Yun Yuan holding the Sea God Trident while Bo Saixi stood respectfully beside him, the Seven Holy Pillars instantly understood that this youth was the Sea God's inheritor.
Judging from the situation, Yun Yuan could already use the Sea God Trident, which meant he had passed quite a few divine trials.
But as the Seven Holy Pillar Douluo of Sea God Island, why did they know nothing about this?
Though everyone was filled with confusion upon seeing Yun Yuan holding the Sea God Trident, they all slightly bowed to show their respect.
"Greetings, Inheritor."
Yun Yuan raised his hand slightly, his tone calm.
"There is no need for such courtesy."
He then turned to look at Bo Saixi.
"Bo Saixi, I should be leaving Sea God Island very soon. Later, I will explain to you in detail the method for condensing a second soul core."
"If one day in the future you are fully prepared, you may come to the Spirit Hall on the continent to find me."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi nodded. She understood that Yun Yuan's situation was different from that of ordinary inheritors.
The Sea God Nine Trials were entirely conducted according to Yun Yuan's own wishes, so whether he remained on Sea God Island or not made no difference.
"Lord Yun Yuan, I understand. Once I am prepared in the future, I will go to Spirit Hall to find you."
Immediately afterward, Bo Saixi looked toward the Seven Holy Pillar Douluo of Sea God Island. Seeing their confusion, she slowly explained:
"As you all suspect, this is Lord Sea God's inheritor. His name is Yun Yuan. As for the doubts in your hearts, I roughly understand them. I will explain everything to you later."
After speaking, she entered one of the side halls used for soul master cultivation within the Sea God Temple together with Yun Yuan.
Inside the cultivation side hall, Yun Yuan and Bo Saixi sat facing each other. Yun Yuan spoke first:
"Bo Saixi, my expectations for you are very high. I hope that, like me, you will also condense the Yin-Yang Harmony Dual Soul Cores."
"Besides that, there is another matter I must clarify. I know the mission of a high priest, which is ultimately to sacrifice themselves to the inheritor and help the inheritor become a god."
"But you also know that I, as this Sea God inheritor, am different. The contents of the Sea God Nine Trials are determined according to my own wishes."
"So what I want to tell you is that when I become the Sea God in the future, you will not need to sacrifice yourself. On the contrary, I will make you my divine officer and have you ascend to the God Realm alongside me."
Regarding the rule that high priests must sacrifice themselves to the inheritor, Yun Yuan had no idea which immoral god came up with such a rule. He found it extremely disgusting.
Therefore, when Yun Yuan inherited the Sea God position, he did not require Bo Saixi's sacrifice. Not only that, but he would also find a way in the future to abolish this rule within the Angel God Trials as well.
He did not want to watch Qian Daoliu sacrifice his life, even if it was for the future little angel who might appear within the Spirit Hall.
Hearing this, Bo Saixi looked toward Yun Yuan, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude. Although she was a high priest and had already dedicated her life to the Sea God when she accepted this position—
Who would willingly wish to lose their life if they could continue living?
"Lord Yun Yuan, thank you very much. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."
Knowing Yun Yuan's intention to abolish the rule requiring high priests to sacrifice their lives, Bo Saixi thanked him sincerely.
At the same time, Bo Saixi silently swore within her heart that after ascending to the God Realm in the future, she, Bo Saixi, would wholeheartedly serve Yun Yuan and repay his kindness.
After today, Yun Yuan's place within Bo Saixi's heart grew increasingly important.
Perhaps one day, Yun Yuan's importance in Bo Saixi's heart would surpass even the Sea God Poseidon, whom she had worshipped for a hundred years.
"Mhm, next I'll explain to you the matter of Yin-Yang Harmony Dual Soul Cores."
"To condense the Yin-Yang Harmony Dual Soul Cores, one must first possess opposing Yin-Yang origin sources and finally survive the Yin-Yang tribulation. Only then will the Yin-Yang Harmony Dual Soul Cores successfully condense."
Within the side hall, Yun Yuan carefully explained the methods and precautions for condensing the Yin-Yang Harmony Dual Soul Cores, step by step.
Several hours later, Yun Yuan finally departed Sea God Island with Qian Daoliu under Bo Saixi's reluctant gaze, heading back toward Spirit Hall on the continent.
On the way back, Qian Daoliu began discussing the matter of the ninth soul ring with Yun Yuan.
"Xiao Yuan, regarding this ninth soul ring, which soul beast are you targeting?"
"Your grandmaster remembers you once told me that on the entire Douluo Continent, the only soul beasts that have reached the quasi-god level are Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King of the ocean, and the Snow Empress of the Extreme North."
"Now that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King has become your eighth soul ring, are you considering Di Tian or the Snow Empress for your ninth?"
Qian Daoliu already had a guess in mind. If he were not mistaken, Yun Yuan's target for the ninth soul ring was most likely Di Tian.
When Yun Yuan encountered danger, he had briefly exchanged blows with Di Tian and knew exactly how powerful Di Tian was. He was absolutely no weaker than the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King of the ocean.
But times were different now. Qian Daoliu felt that with Yun Yuan's current strength, he should already be capable of defeating Di Tian.
Even before obtaining his eighth soul ring, Yun Yuan's combat strength had already rivaled a quasi-god. After obtaining the eighth soul ring, his strength had definitely risen significantly.
Not to mention, Yun Yuan had just taken the Sea God's divine artifact, the Sea God Trident, from the Sea God Temple.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu estimated that even if his usage of angel divine power were unlimited and he could wield the Angel Holy Sword without restrictions, he still might not be Yun Yuan's opponent.
Qian Daoliu's evaluation of Yun Yuan was
With the body of a Soul Douluo, he rivals a true god.
Hearing his grandmaster's question, Yun Yuan's eyes became resolute. Without the slightest hesitation, he uttered two words:
"Di Tian."
