Chapter 448: The Pope of Spirit Hall Meets High Priestess Bo Saixi Late at Night, the Sea God Issues an Edict on the Spot.
After listening to Sea Horse Douluo’s account, High Priestess Bo Saixi was equally stunned.
She closed her eyes, a surge of emotions rising within her for a moment.
She had originally thought that Lin Qingmo triggering the Seagod Nine Trials was already the limit.
She hadn’t expected that this group of people would bring shocks far beyond that.
"High Priest, what should we do now?" Sea Horse Douluo asked cautiously.
High Priestess Bo Saixi opened her eyes, her gaze recovering that composure belonging to a super Douluo.
"I will arrange the subsequent matters myself."
That night.
The Sea God Island had arranged a row of seaside bamboo houses for everyone. Moonlight spilled onto the window lattices, and the sea breeze carried a salty, damp scent as it passed through the hall.
It should have been a peaceful night.
Unfortunately.
"I want to be in the same room as A-Qing!"
Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, blocking the entrance to Lin Qingmo’s room, her tone allowing no room for negotiation.
Her reasoning was very sufficient: "This place is unfamiliar, who knows if some strange person will sneak over in the middle of the night."
When she said the words "strange person," her gaze swept with extreme precision toward the black-robed, masked figure at the end of the group.
Bibi Dong: "..."
Liu Erlong crossed her arms over her chest.
She stepped directly to the door of the adjacent bamboo house and patted the door frame forcefully.
"I’ll stay in this room; protecting the student is only right and proper."
When she said this, her phoenix eyes glanced at Xiao Wu without any concealment.
That look could probably be translated as: You are responsible for guarding the front door, I am responsible for guarding the back door; nobody is allowed to cross the line.
The atmosphere of a jealous showdown was palpable.
Lin Qingmo leaned against the door frame, wearing a smile while mentally complaining like crazy.
Are you all protecting me, or are you guarding my chastity?
However, this undercurrent-filled battle for rooms did not last long.
Because the instigator, Bibi Dong, had no intention of participating at all.
Late at night.
The lights in the bamboo houses were extinguished one by one, and only the sound of waves crashing against the shore remained in the sea breeze.
A black figure slid silently out of the bamboo house assigned to her and swept toward the direction of the Sea God Temple.
Bibi Dong had other important matters tonight.
Meanwhile, in Lin Qingmo’s room.
Xiao Wu was wrapped in a thin quilt, curled up on the inner side of the bed, her breathing having gradually become long and steady.
Lin Qingmo sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, silently sorting through the new information in his mind.
After communicating with Xiao Wu and understanding the details, he discovered that the content of the first trial of the nine trials was no different from Tang San’s version in the original work.
With Xiao Wu’s Aptitude and foundation, although it wouldn’t be easy, it was definitely not impossible to pass.
This made him feel much more at ease.
But his own trial was somewhat special.
The requirements for the Nine Trials of Life seemed to be only one thing: to let the ancient tree of life grow completely and eventually reach maturity.
It sounded simple, but doing it was deadly.
He already understood that his Blue Silver Life Tree Spirit contained the seed of life, which was the embryonic form of the ancient tree of life.
But to make an ancient tree carrying divine force grow from a seed to maturity, the life energy required would likely be an astronomical figure.
He had spent quite a bit of effort just to make it sprout.
As for the Nine Trials of Destruction, it was extremely simple and crude.
First Trial: Defeat a 10,000-year Spirit Beast and a Spirit Saint alone.
Currently, he could only see the content of the first trial, but from this alone, he could infer the subsequent direction.
It would likely be a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, a Titled Douluo, or even a Vicious Beast and a super Douluo alone.
In the future, each one would likely be harder than the last.
Lin Qingmo closed his eyes, his lips pulling into a helpless curve.
As expected of the God King of Destruction’s trial, it was indeed straightforward enough.
However, he was not afraid.
The moon set and the stars were sparse.
The candles in the Sea God Temple were not lit.
Only the pale blue light perpetually emitted from the Sea God statue illuminated the vast hall.
A black shadow swept in silently.
Her footsteps made not a sound, yet the moment she stepped into the hall, she triggered some kind of perception deep within the hall.
The blue light flared!
High Priestess Bo Saixi’s figure emerged from the shadows behind the Sea God statue.
Her long blue hair moved without wind, and those eyes containing the abyss of the ocean locked straight onto the intruder.
"Who dares to trespass in the Sea God Temple?"
The voice was not loud, but it carried the unique spiritual pressure of a super Douluo, enough to make any Titled Douluo’s heart tremble.
The black shadow did not stop, nor did she even slow down.
She walked straight to the center of the hall and stopped.
Then, she raised her hand and took off the hood of her black robe.
Moonlight poured down from the skylight at the top of the hall, illuminating a beautiful and cold face.
That was a face that should not have appeared on Sea God Island.
"Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong."
Her tone was flat when she stated her name.
"!!!"
High Priestess Bo Saixi’s pupils constricted violently.
Pope of Spirit Hall?!
The weight of this identity was not light.
"Why have you come to the Sea God Temple?"
High Priestess Bo Saixi suppressed her surging emotions, her voice returning to indifference.
As a super Douluo and the Envoy of the God, she wouldn’t give Bibi Dong a hard time, but she was curious why the Pope of Spirit Hall was following Lin Qingmo’s group.
She had previously assumed she was just their bodyguard, so she hadn’t asked.
Bibi Dong did not waste words.
"I will only say this once."
She stared directly at High Priestess Bo Saixi, her tone cold to the extreme.
"While A-Qing is on Sea God Island, he must not suffer any undue harm."
"Not even the slightest bit."
It was not a request. It was not a negotiation. It was a warning.
High Priestess Bo Saixi narrowed her eyes slightly.
She sensed an undisguised, almost paranoid possessiveness.
And the object of that protection was a young man.
Interesting.
"The God Trial itself is dangerous; this is the rule set by the Sea God."
High Priestess Bo Saixi’s tone remained unchanged: "I only act according to the Sea God’s will; I will not do more, nor will I do less."
"..."
Bibi Dong stared at her for three seconds. Then she turned around.
"I hope so."
The sound of footsteps faded away.
The black shadow disappeared into the night outside the temple door.
High Priestess Bo Saixi stood alone in the empty hall, her brows slightly furrowed.
The Pope of Spirit Hall had come personally to warn her.
Just how many incredible things were gathered around this young man named Lin Qingmo?
She hadn’t had time to figure this out before a grand and unquestionable voice suddenly resounded in her mind.
[High Priestess Bo Saixi, help Lin Qingmo and the others complete their respective God Trials well. This is my will.]
The Sea God’s Oracle!!!
High Priestess Bo Saixi froze in place.
First the Pope came to warn her, then the Sea God personally issued an edict.
A high-ranking power in the mortal world and a deity from the God Realm were both backing the same young man on the same night.
"..."
High Priestess Bo Saixi took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
Forget it.
She completely withdrew all her inappropriate thoughts.
She resigned herself to fate.
The next morning.
Sunlight bathed Sea God Island, and the sea breeze carried a fresh, salty taste.
Everyone was assembled in a plaza.
High Priestess Bo Saixi appeared in person.
This was her first time standing in front of Lin Qingmo’s group as the High Priest of Sea God Island.
She paid no attention to everyone’s curious gazes.
Her long blue hair hung to her waist, her expression cold and beautiful, and deep-sea-like pressure radiated from her entire body.
Everyone unconsciously held their breath.
"Everyone’s God Trial will formally begin in three days."
