Chapter 423: High Priestess Bo Saixi’s Attitude, Intentions to Head to Sea God Island
After pondering for a long time, High Priestess Bo Saixi gave a reply in the Chat Group.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": Since you possess the Sea God’s Heart, you can naturally come to Sea God Island to trigger the God Trial.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": The Sea God’s token does not choose its master lightly; since it has acknowledged you, the Sea God Temple will not obstruct you.
"Daddy Douluo": Many thanks, Senior.
"Daddy Douluo": I have one more question. May I bring a few people with me?
"Daddy Douluo": They are also exceptionally talented Spirit Masters, and I hope the Sea God’s God Trial can bring them some benefits.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": Anyone can come to Sea God Island.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": The light of the Sea God shines upon all Spirit Masters who harbor reverence.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": However, whether one can trigger a God Trial, or what level of God Trial can be triggered, is not for me to decide. Everything is determined by the Sea God’s will.
"Daddy Douluo": Understood. It depends on one’s own ability, I get it.
High Priestess Bo Saixi’s reply was watertight and strictly professional.
But Lin Qingmo knew that the real issue had not yet been touched upon.
He took a deep breath and typed the most crucial sentence.
"Daddy Douluo": @High Priestess Bo Saixi, Senior, there is one last question.
"Daddy Douluo": Tang Chen’s grandson, Tang Hao, and Tang Hao’s son, Tang San, both have quite a grudge against me.
"Daddy Douluo": And in the original work’s trajectory of fate, Tang San should have been the owner of the Sea God’s Heart and the future Sea God.
"Daddy Douluo": How does Senior view this?
After this sentence was sent, the entire group went quiet.
Even Xiao Wu, who loved to spam the screen, stopped speaking.
Everyone was waiting for High Priestess Bo Saixi’s reply.
...
Sea God Island.
High Priestess Bo Saixi closed her eyes.
The sea breeze passed through the window lattice, blowing her long blue hair.
Her face remained calm, but her fingers inside her sleeves tightened slightly.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": You are very candid, so I will treat you with candor as well.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": I am the emissary of Lord Sea God; personal feelings will not influence the stance of the Sea God Temple.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": The Sea God’s Heart is now in your hands, not Tang San’s; this is Lord Sea God’s choice.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": As someone acknowledged by the Sea God’s Heart, you are qualified to enter Sea God Island and qualified to approach the God Trial.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": As for Tang San... if he one day also arrives at Sea God Island with his token, he will similarly receive fair treatment.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": This is the iron law of Lord Sea God.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": Regardless of who it is, or what grudges they may have with anyone, within the Domain of Lord Sea God, we only look at the qualifications for the God Trial, not their personal past.
Several messages in one go.
Clear, articulate, and flawlessly professional.
Lin Qingmo stared at High Priestess Bo Saixi’s reply, reading it word for word.
Then he smiled.
It wasn’t a smile of being convinced.
It was the kind of smile that said, "Your acting is good, but I’ve read the original work."
High Priestess Bo Saixi’s reply was perfect.
Watertight and impeccable.
It couldn’t be faulted in any public setting.
But Lin Qingmo didn’t believe a single word.
It wasn’t that he doubted High Priestess Bo Saixi’s character, but that he had read the original work.
The High Priestess Bo Saixi in the original work had harbored murderous intent when she saw Tang San.
Because Tang San was going to inherit the God Position of the Sea God.
As the High Priest of the Sea God Temple, High Priestess Bo Saixi had to Sacrifice herself to become the offering for the Sea God’s return.
That murderous intent had truly existed; it was written clearly in the original work.
However, in the end, she chose to fulfill her duties as High Priest.
She chose to Sacrifice herself to fulfill Tang San.
That murderous intent was suppressed by her reason and faith, but it never truly disappeared until the end.
Lin Qingmo didn’t ask it out loud.
Such a question was too blunt.
So blunt that even if High Priestess Bo Saixi really had murderous intent, she couldn’t possibly say it in the group in front of everyone.
Asking would just result in "the Sea God’s iron law," and answering would just be "strictly professional."
Asking would be a waste of time and would instead alert her, letting her know he was already on guard.
"At the very least, I can determine her attitude a little."
Lin Qingmo leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes.
"As of now, she won’t flatten me into meat paste the moment I step onto the island."
"As for what happens next... I’ll have to deal with it when the time comes."
How much of High Priestess Bo Saixi’s words can be trusted?
She is probably struggling internally right now as well.
On one hand, she is the emissary of the Sea God; whoever the Sea God’s Heart chooses, she must assist. That is her faith.
On the other hand, if this choice means she has to pay with her life, can she still maintain this strict professionalism?
"I’d be conflicted too."
Lin Qingmo muttered to himself.
But having said that.
The fact that High Priestess Bo Saixi could Sacrifice herself for the Sea God’s return in the original work shows that her faith eventually overcame her survival instinct.
If the Sea God’s Heart truly acknowledged him, she likely wouldn’t cause trouble during the God Trial.
As for the matter of Sacrifice, Lin Qingmo never even considered going that far.
"I don’t even want the God Position of the Sea God."
He spread his hands: "I’m just going to leech off the assessment rewards, and incidentally secure some benefits for Xiao Wu and the others."
He had no interest in High Priestess Bo Saixi’s life.
Having figured this out, his mood lightened quite a bit.
The next steps were simple.
Gather the team, plan the route, and set off for Sea God Island.
But there was still one problem, a very practical one.
"Daddy Douluo": Ahem, SeniorHigh Priestess Bo Saixi, since you have agreed to let me go to Sea God Island, could you inform me of the specific location of Sea God Island?
The group was silent for a second.
Then Ice Emperor’s ID lit up, with an undisguised tone of speechlessness.
"Bingbing": What the... after all that, you don’t even know where Sea God Island is?
"Daddy Douluo": That’s why I’m asking SeniorHigh Priestess Bo Saixi.
"Daddy Douluo": If everyone knew where Sea God Island was, would it still be peaceful?
"High Priestess Bo Saixi":...
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": Very well.
High Priestess Bo Saixi seemed somewhat helpless at his candor.
But she still quickly sent a coordinate.
It was a deep-sea area, quite a distance from the mainland coastline.
The surroundings were filled with reefs and habitats of dangerous Spirit Beast.
Without accurate coordinates, even a Titled Douluo would have to search for a long time, inch by inch.
Lin Qingmo noted down the coordinates, nodding inwardly.
This location was indeed hidden enough; no wonder the number of people who could reach the island was countable on one’s fingers.
"Daddy Douluo": Many thanks, Senior.
"High Priestess Bo Saixi": Upon reaching the near-shore waters, use the Sea God’s Heart to sense; it will guide you to find the Sacred Island.
"Daddy Douluo": Understood.
...
Meanwhile.
Inside a side hall of Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena stared at the Light Screen in front of her, her fox-like eyes flashing with an increasingly bright light.
"spirit ring age increase... accelerated Cultivate... god-bestowed spirit ring..."
She murmured to herself; with every word she read, her eyes brightened a little more.
When she saw Lin Qingmo talking about the benefits of the Sea God IslandGod Trial in the group earlier, she had already been incredibly tempted.
Increasing spirit ring age!
That wasn’t an Opportunity one could just stumble upon.
Not to mention that "god-bestowed spirit ring"; just hearing the name, one knew it was a good thing.
Now that High Priestess Bo Saixi had directly sent the location of Sea God Island, she could no longer sit still.
"I must go find Teacher!"
Hu Liena lifted her skirt and ran all the way, rushing into the main hall of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
