Chapter 449: Sea God’s First Trial, Transmigration of Seagod’s Light!

High Priestess Bo Saixi’s voice was cold and steady, her gaze sweeping across everyone’s faces one by one.

"Within three days, you may freely familiarize yourselves with the environment and waters of Sea God Island. Make good use of this time."

After speaking, her gaze lingered on Lin Qingmo for an extra half-second.

That look was complex, carrying scrutiny, curiosity, and a trace of imperceptible sighing.

Then, she turned and left.

During the three days of preparation time, Lin Qingmo and the others did not waste a single moment.

During the day, he led everyone to survey the terrain and distribution of the waters around Sea God Island, exploring all the key areas.

At the same time, he found Xiao Bai.

The 100,000 yearsDevil Spirit Great White Shark King revealed half of its massive shark head in the shallow waters, its enormous fish eyes filled with curiosity.

"You actually didn’t inherit the Sea God’s God Position, so why did you come to find me?"

Lin Qingmo laughed, "My wife is the inheritor of the Sea God’s God Position. Since she will be your master in the future, doesn’t that mean I am your master too?"

"This... seems correct."

Just like that, Xiao Bai was easily swindled.

"Xiao Bai, do me a favor."

Lin Qingmo got straight to the point, "I need to find a Spirit Beast of over 50,000 years. Help me pinpoint its location in the nearby waters."

"Only 50,000 years?"

Xiao Bai rolled its fish eyes, "There are plenty of them in the sea; you can just find one anywhere."

Xiao Bai grinned, revealing its mouth full of serrated teeth.

"Fine, leave it to this shark."

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu and the others were summoned individually by High Priestess Bo Saixi to begin understanding the specific rules for the first stage of their respective God Trials.

One night during the preparation period.

In Bibi Dong’s bamboo house.

"Teacher..."

Hu Liena sat opposite Bibi Dong, twisting the corner of her clothes with her hands, revealing a rare look of anxiety.

"After this... should I return to Spirit Hall?"

She lowered her head, her voice becoming quieter and quieter.

"You don’t need me to do anything here anymore, and besides..."

"Stay."

Bibi Dong interrupted her, her tone brief.

Hu Liena looked up sharply.

"Those trials are beneficial to you, so you shall stay."

Bibi Dong picked up the teacup in front of her, her eyes indifferent yet firm.

"Complete them, and your strength will have a qualitative leap."

"And..."

She paused for a moment.

"With you here, I am more at ease."

Hu Liena’s nose soured, and she nodded vigorously, her eyes turning red.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Bibi Dong sipped her tea and said nothing more.

But Hu Liena did not miss the extremely faint arc at the corner of her lips.

Three days passed in a flash.

The day the God Trials began.

High Priestess Bo Saixi appeared before everyone again, with a wide stone path extending towards the Sea God Temple behind her.

"Sea God’s First Trial—Transmigration of Seagod’s Light."

Her voice carried far in the sea breeze.

"You need to climb the stairs under the pressure of Seagod’s Light, with a time limit of one year."

"Those who fail to meet the standard within the time limit will be considered to have failed the trial."

After speaking, she called out names one by one.

"Xiao Wu, Seagod Nine Trials participant, climb 333 stairs, endure double the Seagod’s Light."

Xiao Wu swallowed.

333 stairs, double.

It felt like this opening was Hell difficulty.

"Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Red Top-tier Trial participants, climb 136 stairs."

Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling looked at each other and nodded.

"Liu Erlong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Bai Chenxiang, Hu Liena, Black-tier Trial participants, climb 108 stairs."

Dugu Yan snorted, "108? Why so much less?"

Bai Chenxiang didn’t speak, silently clenching her fists.

Hu Liena had also started rubbing her hands together in preparation.

Finally, High Priestess Bo Saixi’s gaze fell on Lin Qingmo.

"Lin Qingmo."

"Your God Trial does not come from the Sea God, but according to the divine oracle, you can also climb with double the Seagod’s Light."

"The climb does not count towards your God Trial results, but it can effectively improve your physical fitness and mental force."

Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow.

Using double Seagod’s Light as gym equipment?

Such a free opportunity for improvement, might as well take advantage of it.

"Understood."

High Priestess Bo Saixi nodded slightly and pointed to the long stone steps ahead, shrouded in golden-blue light.

The surface of the stairs flowed with a pale golden halo, spreading from the very bottom to the depths of the clouds, with no end in sight.

That was Seagod’s Light.

Even just looking from afar, everyone could already feel the heavy sense of oppression surging from the depths of their Souls.

The Seagod’s Light lit up.

The golden-blue Light Screen began to spread from the first step, extending all the way up into the depths of the clouds.

The entire staircase was shrouded under a layer of pressure so thick it was almost solid.

Xiao Wu was the first to step onto the stairs.

The moment the double Seagod’s Light pressed down, her expression changed.

This thing didn’t just act on the body; it directly crushed the mental force and Soul.

After the 30th step, every step required giving it her all.

If not for the high-quality 10,000 years Spirit Bones given by Lin Qingmo, she wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.

The 40th step, 41st, 42nd, 43rd—

Xiao Wu’s knees trembled slightly, sweat dripping from her jawline onto the steps, steaming into a wisp of white smoke.

She bit her lip hard, trying to take another step.

But the double Seagod’s Light pushed her back without mercy.

"Ugh..."

Xiao Wu retreated unwillingly, sat down at the bottom of the stairs, and gasped for air.

43rd step.

Next were the other women.

Dugu Yan rushed up with an expression of disdain, as if to say, "Isn’t it just climbing stairs?"

Then, she was taught a lesson by reality at the 38th step. When she retreated, her expression was written with two words—unconvinced!

Hu Liena gritted her teeth and rushed to the 36th step. After being bounced off, she kicked the base of the stairs impatiently, hopping on one foot in pain.

Zhu Zhuqing reached the 33rd step.

When she retreated, her face was calm, but her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her.

Bai Chenxiang reached Level 30.

She didn’t speak, silently walked to the side and sat down, staring firmly at the top of the stairs.

Ning Rongrong reached the 27th step.

support systemSpirit Masters were naturally at a disadvantage in such trials that purely tested one’s own endurance.

She knew it in her heart, but was unwilling to admit it, "This staircase is not friendly to support systemSpirit Masters. I want to lodge a complaint."

Unfortunately, High Priestess Bo Saixi and the Seven Holy Pillar Douluos ignored her.

Ye Lingling reached the 26th step.

After retreating, she was expressionless, showing no emotional fluctuation.

Only Liu Erlong.

Her Spirit Douluo-level cultivation finally demonstrated an overwhelming advantage before the Seagod’s Light.

She strode forward with great momentum, walking from the first step all the way to the 99th step before stopping.

99th step.

The Seven Holy Pillar Douluos were not surprised.

Liu Erlong walked down the stairs gracefully. When passing by Lin Qingmo, she raised her phoenix eyes slightly, a hint of smugness on her lips.

That look, translated, was probably: See that? That’s your Teacher Erlong’s strength.

Lin Qingmo smiled and didn’t respond.

Because it was finally his turn.

Lin Qingmo loosened his wrists and walked to the bottom of the stairs.

Double Seagod’s Light.

The moment the golden-blue Light Screen landed on him, Lin Qingmo felt that terrifying pressure that pierced straight through his Soul.

But he did not stop.

The Blue Silver Life-Death Domain quietly unfolded.

The power of life surged vigorously within his body, while the power of destruction formed a violent barrier on the edge of his Soul.

Two diametrically opposed divine forces circulated crazily within his body, clashing head-on with the pressure of the Seagod’s Light.

30th step, moving forward steadily.

50th step, sweat beads seeping from his forehead.

70th step, his pace slowed significantly, but every step was taken with extreme firmness.

80th step, the whole scene was silent.

The gazes of the Seven Holy Pillar Douluos were all focused on him.

This kid’s cultivation... is clearly far lower than that female Spirit Douluo teacher, yet under double the pressure, he has almost caught up?

85th step, 88th step, 90th step—

Lin Qingmo stopped.

The operation of the Blue Silver Life-Death Domain had reached its limit.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, and the balance between the power of life and the power of destruction was teetering within his body.

Any further, and he would truly be gambling with his life.

He took a deep breath and turned to walk down the stairs.

90th step, double pressure!

Sea Horse Douluo’s mouth was wide open.

Sea Dragon Douluo’s pupils contracted sharply.

The other Holy Pillar Douluos looked at each other.

They were all Titled Douluos, and their perception of cultivation was extremely precise.

Lin Qingmo’s spirit powerRank was right there; he wasn’t even a Spirit Saint.

Yet he had managed to walk to the 90th step under double the Seagod’s Light.

This was no longer in the realm of what talent could explain.

High Priestess Bo Saixi stood in the distance, a flash of strange color flickering in her deep eyes.

Her evaluation of this young man... would have to be rewritten again.

And at the very back of the crowd, under the black robe and mask, Bibi Dong’s lips slowly curled into an arc.

It was the expression a woman would only reveal when looking at the young man she was most proud of.
