Chapter 3: He Radiates the Radiance of a Pilgrim (Two in One)

"Every Sea Soul Master believes that the Sea God is real, in charge of everything in the sea, and is the ancestor of the Sea Soul Master. It is under the blessing of the sea god that the sea soul master can have a powerful ability to use the power from the sea......

"The god of the sea walked on the sea, and created the island of Poseidon and the surrounding islands out of nothing, creating a place for his people and believers to live and live......

"Poseidon Island is the sacred place of sea soul masters, and it is also a place to worship the sea god. As the messenger of the sea god, the sea god high priest leads the most powerful sea soul masters to worship the sea god on the sea god island......

"There are seven sacred pillars scattered on Poseidon Island. Legend has it that the formation of the Seven Sacred Pillars originated from the seven powerful Sea Soul Beast companions of the Sea God, and for countless years, they formed a huge formation to protect the Sea God Island together with the Sea God Mountain......

"The sea god has given the seven holy pillars divine power, and through the seven holy pillars to spread the will of the gods, any holy pillar can test the external soul masters......"

"The Seven Sacred Pillars are able to communicate with the sea god and give the trialists a different assessment. They are not only the place where the souls of the sea soul beasts return, but also the gathering place of the beliefs of thousands of sea people and sea soul beasts......"

Seeing this, Su Cheng frowned.

"Since ancient times, there have only been seven sacred pillars on Poseidon Island? So the number of these holy pillars is fixed? So why do black-level assessments appear so many times? ”

He closed the book in his hand and pondered.

As far as he knew, in the past hundred years, there have been no less than twenty black-level assessments on Poseidon Island. Except for the Sea Dragon Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo and others who achieved the position of the Holy Pillar, there were not a few people who died in the test.

In other words, except for those who have completed the assessment and are in the process of assessment, the other soul masters who have obtained the black-level assessment have all died in the test.

And from the information I have seen during this time, the existence of the Seven Holy Pillars is by no means only symbolic.

Whether it is for the sea soul master on Poseidon Island, or for Poseidon himself, it has a huge effect.

The sea god wants to communicate with the nether, but it is not simple, and it needs some medium to do it.

For example, Bo Saixi.

As the high priest of Poseidon Island, this peerless Douluo who uses the Poseidon Law as her martial spirit, if she sacrifices herself, there is a high probability that she will be able to directly summon the Poseidon to descend.

And in addition to Bo Saixi, I'm afraid you need to use the Seven Holy Pillars.

As for those tests below the black level, Su Cheng estimated that it might not really have anything to do with the sea god, and even the black level assessment had nothing to do with the sea god.

It may be that the Seven Holy Pillars have formed some kind of special logic or operating rules with the help of divine power, and automatically release the test content.

Otherwise, so many sea soul masters are tested every year, where will the sea god get the kung fu to assign all kinds of assessments to them.

After thinking about it, it was difficult to draw a conclusion if there were too few clues for the time being, so Su Cheng put it aside for the time being.

Picked up another book and read it.

"Lord Poseidon really exists, and most of the soul masters on Poseidon Island have seen Lord Poseidon manifest with their own eyes......

"The believers of the Sea God not only have Sea Soul Masters, but also a large number of kind-hearted Sea Soul Beasts, and when they are about to die, they will spontaneously go to the Seven Holy Pillars and dedicate their soul rings and soul bones to the people of Seagod Island......

"The appearance of the Holy Pillar Douluo comes from the unique prophecy of Lord Seagod, and it is tested by the high priest. The High Priest is the servant of the Poseidon, and guards the authority of the Poseidon for the rest of his life, and also exercises the rights of the Poseidon......

"Lord Poseidon is kind and loving. Not only the Sea Soul Master, but even the Land Soul Master, as long as they pass the test, they also have a chance to be recognized by Lord Seagod. These tests were not given by the soul master on Poseidon Island, but by Lord Poseidon himself......

“……”

After reading it, Su Cheng sighed.

It is indeed extremely difficult to destroy the Seagod Inheritance.

Crucially, the Destruction Inheritance probably doesn't just refer to the Divine Inheritance.

Does the belief of the god of the sea count as an inheritance? In order to accomplish the task, do we need to cut off all these beliefs as well?

"Fortunately, the belief in the sea god has not formed a too complete and detailed system." Su Cheng said secretly in his heart.

Absolute faith is hard to change.

Especially when the teachings of a certain faith are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and logically consistent, and become the spiritual pillar of many people, it is even more difficult to eradicate them.

But in the Douluo Continent, it has not yet reached this point.

Because the power here belongs to oneself, and the gods of the world are not fictional, but real.

As a deity, there is no need to refine the doctrine, as long as the "manifestation" can maintain the rule of this faith.

In this way, it gave Su Cheng the opportunity to exploit the loopholes.

Compared to those mainstream sects in the previous life, the way the sea god collected beliefs was undoubtedly extremely rude.

Of course, he doesn't need to be too clever because he's strong enough.

But even so, it is still extremely difficult to change this situation.

Compared with the mainlanders' belief in the angel god and the Wuhun Temple, the people of Poseidon Island are obviously much more loyal and firm in their belief in the god of the sea.

"We have to find a way to cut off the channel for the appearance of the sea god, that is, the seven holy pillars."

Su Cheng held the book in his hand and quietly thought about perfecting the plan in his heart.

"I have to figure out the composition principle of those things, as well as those Holy Pillar Douluo, and I have to find a chance to contact them more."

Fortunately, the sea god himself obviously doesn't often contact the Nether, at best, to the extent of an occasional glance.

Even Tang San on the original timeline was helped by the Seagod many times because he carried a wisp of the Seagod Divine Thought with him.

Although Su Cheng didn't know what the pattern of the divine realm was, those so-called "gods" were just more powerful beings in the final analysis, and most of them were human cultivators.

Since they are human beings, they must have their independence, have desires and desires, and there must be contradictions and conflicts between each other's wills.

Douluo Star is not simple, and it is not an ordinary plane with no name in the God Realm.

In this case, as a god born in Douluo Star, even if there is a communication medium, it may be difficult for him to meddle in the affairs of the Nether Realm unless necessary.

Moreover, there is a huge difference in the time flow rate between the God Realm and Douluo Star.

As long as Su Cheng himself is hidden behind the scenes, and his talent is not outrageous, it should not attract too much attention from the sea god.

Of course, if the sea god wants to manifest himself, in addition to using the Seven Holy Pillars, the high priest Bo Saixi is also a way.

However, on Bo Saixi's side, he obviously couldn't dispose of it in a short time.

But if it wasn't a last resort, Bo Saixi wouldn't have sacrificed himself to let the sea god appear.

Therefore, if you want to cut off the connection between the sea god and the lower realm, the key is on the seven holy pillars.

"The second is Bo Saixi, this person is the key core of this mission, and she must influence her concept to a certain extent."

It is certainly impossible to change the faith of this high priest, and it is impossible to achieve it without even thinking about it.

A person who has cultivated to this level, who is not extremely confident and determined, how can he abandon the faith in his heart.

But just because you can't change it doesn't mean you can't influence it.

Her extreme reverence for the god of the sea is instead a weakness that can be exploited.

"The last step is to change the meaning of the totem of 'Poseidon' to the people of Poseidon Island."

Su Cheng closed the book with a "click" and put it back in its place.

Then he walked out of the library hall.

Obviously, it is not easy to accomplish these points, and it takes him time to lay out little by little.

In contrast, the later military duel is just a means to end the game.

Two years passed quickly.

In a side hall of the City Lord's Mansion of Sea Girl City, six-year-old Su Cheng was standing in the middle of the hall.

In front of him, there was a magic circle and a crystal ball used to test his soul power.

Today is the day of his martial soul awakening.

"Son, stand up."

Standing next to the circle, the beautiful young woman said slowly.

She is the current Sea Maiden Douluo.

Although he looked extremely young, his real age was hundreds of years old now, much older than Poseidon Island's High Priest Bo Saixi.

It's just that in her, there is the blood of the mermaid family.

The mermaid clan does not belong to either soul beasts or humans, it is a special race in the ocean, and it can be regarded as a half-human and half-sea soul beast.

This race lives five times longer than humans, and when they reach adulthood, their appearance is fixed and they never grow old.

However, Aema Douluo did not stay in Abeto City most of the time, but lived in the sea in front of the Abeto Sacred Pillar.

This is determined by the characteristics of the merfolk family.

When they leave the sea, they will take on the form of human beings, but this time is relatively short, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

Su Cheng knew that her daughter was now also undergoing the assessment of the fourth black level exam, and had already completed the first three exams, and only the last level had not yet been completed.

After her daughter completes the assessment, this Sea Maiden Douluo, who has not lived much, will return to the clan land and quietly wait for death.

The reason why she appeared here today was also for Su Cheng's awakening ceremony.

After all, Su Cheng was a child who was personally picked up by Bo Saixi, no matter what his true identity was or what his own talent was, he was worthy of this Holy Pillar Douluo personally coming forward to awaken him.

Besides, even if Su Cheng has nothing to do with Bo Saixi, Sea Maiden Douluo will take more care of him.

The Sea Soul Masters on Seagod Island are all faithful believers of the Seagod, and the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo are the best among them.

Over the years, Su Cheng's devout belief in the god of the sea has been obvious to everyone, and it has long been impressive.

And no one thought he was pretending.

Not to mention that it is normal for the residents of Poseidon Island to believe in Poseidon, and the words and deeds he shows on weekdays are convincing.

In the eyes of Sea Maiden Douluo, since Su Cheng was sensible, he had been delving into the library hall with all his heart, which was completely different from ordinary peers.

What's even more commendable is that he doesn't read those legendary stories about the sea soul masters, nor does he understand the soul master's cultivation methods and soul skills, but focuses on understanding the sea god's thoughts and past.

Sea Maiden Douluo has lived for hundreds of years, and he thinks he has seen many people, but he has never seen a child like Su Cheng.

No, it's not just kids.

Even the adult Sea Soul Master, those Seagod warriors who had cultivated for a long time, did not have such a devout belief as Su Cheng.

After Sea Maiden Douluo finished speaking, Su Cheng nodded and stood in the awakening array.

As Sea Maiden Douluo injected soul power, golden light flashed from the formation.

Su Cheng stretched out his right hand, and the light points converged into the palm of his hand, and then, a long sword appeared in his palm.

The hilt looks a little rough, and the blade is not sharp.

Any soul master with some experience can see that the quality of this martial soul is not too high.

Sea Maiden Douluo, as a powerful peak Douluo, has lived for so many years, so he naturally has a rough idea at a glance.

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, a little helpless, and a little pity.

But there are some things that are destined by God, and the awakening of martial souls has stopped many young soul masters with lofty aspirations.

Su Cheng is not the first, nor will he be the last.

She pointed to the crystal ball and said softly, "Let's go test the level of innate soul power." ”

As Su Cheng placed his still immature palm on the crystal ball, a faint halo flashed in it, and if you didn't look closely, you would hardly be able to see it.

"This ......"

Sea Maiden Douluo was speechless for a while.

She glanced at Su Cheng and opened her mouth, a little unbearable to say the result.

"Aemye-sama, what is my innate soul power level?" Su Cheng withdrew his palm and asked Sea Maiden Douluo respectfully.

“……”

When Sea Maiden Douluo heard this, he sighed again in his heart, and said lightly: "Innate soul power is less than one level. ”

In fact, it is not only less than one level, but it is almost infinitely close to innate zero soul power.

It only retains a glimmer of hope for cultivating soul power, but the difference in cultivation talent is simply outrageous.

But what surprised her was that after saying this result, Su Cheng's face did not show the slightest loss and sadness.

The expression is unusually calm, and there is a kind of firmness that is incomprehensible.

"I see, thank you for awakening me, ama."

“…… Su Cheng, aren't you sad? Sea Maiden Douluo's voice was mixed with a hint of curiosity.

For soul masters, the level of innate soul power almost determines the fate of the future.

But at this time, Su Cheng was indifferent to this near-worst result.

Before Su Cheng could answer, another figure silently walked into the hall and came to her side.

Seeing this, Sea Maiden Douluo bowed slightly, saluted the man, and said, "See the High Priest." ”

Su Cheng looked up, but saw that the whole body of the person who came was shrouded in a layer of bright red robes, and the long sea-blue hair was scattered behind him, and it fell to a position close to the ground.

Her face was extremely beautiful, she looked no more than thirty years old, her temperament was noble and elegant, and her clear blue eyes were deeper than the sea.

Even the mermaid race Sea Maiden Douluo, who was known for her beauty, stood beside her, and all of her brilliance was completely obscured by her complexion.

In her right hand, she held a golden scepter that was three meters long. The whole body is carved with Taoist magic patterns, and the head of the staff is a diamond-shaped protrusion like a spear, and a diamond-shaped golden gem is inlaid below.

This person is the high priest of Seagod Island, the ninety-nineth-level Seagod Douluo Bo Saixi.

When Su Cheng saw her first, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See the high priest." ”

"No need to be polite."

Bo Saixi's voice was soft, and his eyes were fixed on the long sword martial soul in Su Cheng's hand.

"The level of innate soul power is almost non-existent, Su Cheng, do you know what this means."

Su Cheng shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know." ”

"This means that no matter how hard you cultivate, I'm afraid you won't be able to break through to level 30 or above in your lifetime."

When the Sea Maiden Douluo on the side heard this, he wanted to speak a little and stopped.

She felt that Bo Saixi's words were a little too straightforward.

Anyway, it's just a six-year-old kid.

At this time, it is a little too cruel to bluntly talk about the future of the other party.

But the next moment, Su Cheng's unusually calm voice made her a little stunned.

"High Priest, the glory of the Poseidon shines equally on every Poseidon Island. The level of innate soul power, in front of the glory of the sea god, is just a small and insignificant obstacle. ”

“……”

Hearing his words, the two Titled Douluo silently exchanged glances, and their expressions were a little surprised.

Then Bo Saixi thought that Su Cheng accepted the fact that he was not talented, so he nodded lightly, and his expression returned to flatness.

"Is it your goal to spread the glory of Lord Poseidon? That's not bad. Becoming a powerful Sea Soul Master is not the only way out for the people of Poseidon Island.

"Su Cheng, I promised your mother that if you can awaken the martial soul and have soul power, no matter how talented you are, I will cultivate you as a personal disciple.

"I'm asking you now, would you like to worship me as a teacher?"

When Sea Maiden Douluo, who was standing on the side, heard this, he immediately looked sideways at Bo Saixi, and there was surprise in his eyes that he couldn't hide.

For so many years, Bo Saixi has always lived alone on Poseidon Mountain, and has never accepted any apprentices.

Even if the kid in front of him was only a nominal disciple, it was extraordinary.

And looking at the meaning of Bo Saixi, it seems that it is not just a nominal disciple, but is ready to be cultivated seriously.

I couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity in my heart, who was Su Cheng's mother?

It's just a pity that this kid's talent is too low.

Even if there is a peerless powerhouse like Bo Saixi as a teacher, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve anything.

"High Priestess, forgive me for not agreeing."

What was even more unexpected for Sea Maiden Douluo was that Su Cheng actually rejected Bo Saixi's proposal.

I saw him bow again, look at Bo Saixi and explain seriously: "It's not that I don't know how to lift. It will be the honor of my life to be your disciple. But you didn't understand what I meant, and it disappointed me even more. ”

Su Cheng's expression was solemn, and his words were full of strong and enthusiastic emotions.

"High Priest, please give me half a year. Within half a year, I will be promoted to a soul master, and then you will understand my will. ”

"......" Bo Saixi was also a little stunned.

It's not just because the other party rejected his offer to accept apprentices.

His words are also incredible.

Half a year, promoted to soul master?

Not to mention that it is a cultivation waste wood with innate soul power of less than one level, even if it is replaced by a soul master genius of the sixth or seventh level of innate soul power, he will never dare to boast of this kind of Haikou.

Su Cheng ignored the surprise of the two people in front of him and continued: "I can feel that the spirit of the sea god is guiding me. For me, the road ahead is both glory and return. ”

But surprisingly, at this moment, Bo Saixi and Sea Maiden Douluo, two peerless powerhouses, did not say anything to refute for a while, let alone be angry and disdainful.

It's not that they believe his words, it's just that Su Cheng's expression at this time is too shocking.

At only six years old, his eyes were pure and fiery, and his expression was solemn and sincere, as if he could burn people.

It is often not the words that move people the most, but the attitudes.

At this moment, Su Cheng's body exuded a light that was almost like that of a pilgrim.

Even Bo Saixi and Sea Maiden Douluo, the two faithful believers of the sea gods, were a little difficult to look at directly.

Walking on the streets of the Sea Girl City, Su Cheng's expression was especially warm and confident, which was very infectious.

But his heart was cold and clear, without any waves.

That's right, when he came to awaken the martial soul, Su Cheng once again cut his bloodline potential.

This step is actually a bit risky.

If Bo Saixi gave him up directly because of his poor talent, it would really bury the great advantage brought by the "destined person" at the beginning.

But fortunately, Bo Saixi finally appeared.

As long as the other party is willing to show up, this move has been more than half successful.

But that's normal.

Bo Saixi is a peerless genius herself, is innate soul power really that important to her?

Unless it is innate soul power plus twin martial souls, for her, no matter how good her talent is, I am afraid that at most she will praise "genius".

Further lowering the level of innate soul power was a decision that Su Cheng made after thinking about it for a long time.

Severe cases have to be taken under strong medicine.

The innate soul power of the third and fourth levels is still not outstanding enough, at least it will not be able to blind other people's eyes for a period of time in the future.

With a potion specializing in martial soul in his body, in fact, he can even weaken himself to the point of innate zero soul power, at least with the means of martial soul testing, he can't feel the existence of his soul power.

But if you do that, you're just gambling.

Innate zero soul power, it is not in Bo Saixi's promise, and he must not give up this opportunity.

Then you can only awaken with the lowest level of soul power.

Not long after the soul power awakening ceremony, Su Cheng's innate soul power level was almost non-existent, and the matter had already spread all over the city.

Those two Titled Douluo obviously wouldn't be so idle and tell others about this bit of.

This matter was publicized by Su Cheng himself.

In the past two years, Su Cheng has basically become familiar with the people in Aento City.

There are not many residents on Poseidon Island, and Su Cheng's identity is different, he comes and goes freely in the City Lord's Mansion, and he memorizes the legendary history of various Poseidon doctrine and classics, and his belief concentration is close to 100%, which naturally attracts the attention of many residents.

Because of the common belief, in fact, the residents of Poseidon Island really don't have too many crooked thoughts about each other.

Compared with the intrigue on the mainland, the folk customs here are much simpler.

In the concept of Poseidon Island, everything they have is a gift from the god of the sea.

And the tests that begin after the age of 18 represent the final way out for their future.

Everyone is quietly working hard to pass the test, and there is almost no conflict of interest among the residents.

This situation will certainly limit everyone's upper limit, but it also guarantees their lower limit.

Now that they have learned about the awakening of his martial soul, many people have a pity and pity attitude towards it.

Regarding other people's concerns and inquiries, Su Cheng's statement is also very simple.

"What about the low level of innate soul power? Over the years, I have studied the teachings of the sea god intensively, and I have continued to deeply understand the thoughts and will of the sea god. Under the guidance of Lord Poseidon, it won't take long for my martial soul to transform naturally, helping me continue to follow in the footsteps of Lord Poseidon. ”

Most people, of course, don't believe his words.

But as believers in the sea god, they had no way to refute Su Cheng's words.

In particular, his attitude and emotions when he speaks can easily infect others.

Gradually, many people have changed from initial skepticism to skeptical.

I want to see if he can really raise his soul power to level ten within half a year and become a soul master as he said.

Similar situations were all expected by Su Cheng.

After all these years of studying the history of Poseidon Island, he has not gained nothing.

Su Cheng found that the sea god not only collected beliefs in a rather crude way, but also didn't really care much about the spread and development of the sea god's teachings.

Even in those books, there are many contradictions.

Obviously, more than ninety percent of these legends and quotations about the god of the sea are probably not written by the god of the sea himself, but from the supplementary explanations of believers in later generations.

This also leads to the fact that although the sea soul masters here all believe in the sea god, they have different ways of believing.

The understanding of its core spirit is also very different, and it is only because of the strength that it is condensed together.

Speaking of which, at best, it's just an empty "Poseidon protects the island, Poseidon blesses the people, Poseidon expells the evil Sea Soul Beast, and Poseidon bestows a test to select managers" and something like that.

If it weren't for the existence of extraordinary power, this wouldn't have become a unified sect at all, and it was even inferior to the Martial Spirit Palace.

Normally, the end result is a fragmentation and a multi-genre disintegration.

"Amateur, amateur." Su Cheng sighed secretly.

"Wait until I show you what a profession is."
