Chapter 6: Three Questions to the High Priest (2-in-1)

Sea Star Douluo's memorial service didn't last too long.

For his death, the residents of Poseidon Island have long been mentally prepared.

What's more, in the eyes of the people of Seagod Island, the Holy Pillar Douluo will return to the Seagod's embrace after death, which is not a tragedy.

The other Saint Pillar Douluo had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, and they were not too sad.

After the ceremony, Su Cheng followed the team of the Sea Lady City back to his holy city.

Soon, a purple-clothed soul master came to the door and told him that Sea Maiden Douluo asked him to come over.

After learning the news, Su Cheng immediately knew it, and soon came to the city lord's mansion without delay.

Not surprisingly, at this time, Bo Saixi had already arrived here one step ahead of time, and was standing with Sea Maiden Douluo.

Although the hall of the City Lord's Mansion was not gorgeous, the two peerless beauties standing side by side immediately made this place show infinite scenery.

At this time, Bo Saixi is very different from when we first met more than half a year ago.

At that time, Bo Saixi had a deep and noble temperament, giving people a sense of unattainable vastness.

But now, it's more like a living person.

Seeing this, Su Cheng hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Lord High Priest, see Lord Amen." ”

"Su Cheng, didn't you say that all the people of the Sea God are equal and don't have to be called 'adults'?"

Bo Saixi opened his mouth indifferently, his eyes staring at Su Cheng, and a strange light appeared in his deep blue eyes.

Sea Maiden Douluo, who was standing on the side, moved slightly when he heard this, but he didn't speak, and looked at him quietly.

Su Cheng was not surprised when he heard this.

What he did on Poseidon Island could never be concealed from this high priest.

The other party didn't know before, just because he was too lazy to understand those trivial matters.

When she really set out to find out, all the information could not escape her ears and eyes.

Su Cheng himself also paid attention to what he said and did, and he didn't let himself leave a handle on it.

However, he didn't expect Bo Saixi to ask about it first.

"The glory of the god of the sea shines on every believer, and the people of the god of the sea naturally have no distinction between high and low." Su Cheng said calmly, "But for me, Lord High Priest and Lord Sea Maiden Douluo are both respectable elders, so they are naturally different. ”

"You can talk." There was a smile in Bo Saixi's eyes, and his attitude was completely different from the last time they met.

At that time, although Su Cheng believed in piety, it was nothing special to Bo Saixi.

She has lived on Poseidon Island for decades and has been a high priest for decades, but she has never seen anyone, and there are countless people who are devout in their faith.

Su Cheng had that kind of ideological consciousness at a young age, which was indeed surprising, but it was only surprising.

On this continent, for soul masters, especially for powerful soul masters, after all, only those who have strength have the right to speak.

Su Cheng's pitiful talent was obviously not enough for her to treat her differently.

The proposal to accept apprentices is just for the promise he once made.

"You're really surprising me, though." Bo Saixi looked at Su Cheng, his eyes filled with curiosity, "How did you do it?" ”

Now that she is perceiving it carefully, she is more and more clearly aware of Su Cheng's transformation now.

Not only has his cultivation improved by more than ten levels in less than a year, but the quality of his martial soul has also improved significantly.

This kind of change can't be discovered by ordinary people, but it can't be hidden from Bo Saixi.

In her eyes, Su Cheng's aura was clear and smart, and it was definitely not something that an inferior martial soul could create.

"High Priestess, I have already said before, in front of the glory of the Sea God, the level of innate soul power is only a small obstacle."

Noticing the change in Bo Saixi's expression, Su Cheng was more sure of his future plans.

The high priest's state of mind was much more active than he had imagined.

But it's normal to think about it. Compared to her ninety-nine terrifying level, in fact, Bo Saixi's real age is not too old now.

Although she received the top eight exams, she was amazingly talented. When he was tested in the early stage, he didn't take every ten years to complete it like ordinary sea soul masters, but passed eight tests ahead of schedule, and it only took less than forty years in total.

When she was in her fifties, she had already become a ninety-ninth level peerless Douluo.

In addition, since she accepted the top test, she has lived in the Poseidon Temple on Poseidon Mountain all the year round, and she has not had much contact with people, and not too many people are qualified to talk to her.

Therefore, at this time, Bo Saixi's mentality is far from the point of withering an ancient well.

After hearing Su Cheng's similar answer from more than half a year ago, Bo Saixi had a different feeling in his heart at this time.

After thinking about it, she didn't rush to ask, but said, "I heard that many people now call you 'divine messenger'?" ”

"Yes." Su Cheng nodded, his eyes were pure.

"My life's wish is to spread the glory of the god of the sea and spread his kindness and love to the people of the god of the sea."

"Oracle...... Is the Seagod's Messenger......" Bo Saixi pursed his lips and looked at Su Cheng, "I, the High Priest of Seagod Island, only dare to call myself a servant of the Seagod." ”

Hearing this, Su Cheng bowed lightly again and replied seriously, "High Priestess, your understanding of the spirit of the sea god is still lacking. ”

"......" Sea Maiden Douluo, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene of conversation that happened at this moment, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

looked at the child in front of him, who was less than seven years old, and then turned his head to look at Bo Saixi on his side, and felt a strangeness in his heart.

"Lacking?" A look of astonishment flashed on Bo Saixi's face, and then his slender and slender brows furrowed slightly, and his sculptural face revealed a different style from before.

"Then tell me what I'm missing."

"In many ways." Su Cheng's tone was calm, his voice was not impatient, and he didn't look like a child who was less than seven years old.

When he spoke, he looked solemn, and he really had the demeanor of a "sea god's messenger".

"You have not comprehended the true will of Lord Poseidon, nor have you felt the true power of Lord Poseidon, nor have you understood the good intentions of Lord Poseidon in setting up various tests for his followers and people.

"When I told you half a year ago that the spirit of the sea god was guiding me forward, you didn't believe it in your heart.

"In your opinion, innate aptitude can determine the future of a soul master, and your belief in the sea god cannot affect its consequences."

When the "......" heard this, Bo Saixi suddenly felt unable to refute, because she really thought so at that time.

"So, you really feel the guidance of Lord Poseidon?"

"Just a little." Su Cheng's expression fell, "Now that I have a comprehension of the will of the sea god, my comprehension is still too shallow. ”

"......" Bo Saixi looked a little dazed when he heard this.

Why didn't she feel it at all?

Could it be that this child is the heir chosen by the sea god?

Is it the one I was destined to wait for?

Is Poseidon Island the one destined to wait?

Bo Saixi tightened the white fingers that were holding the scepter, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked again: "Su Cheng, let me ask you again, are you willing to be my disciple?" ”

Su Cheng raised his head and looked at her, and said solemnly, "This is my honor, teacher." ”

Seeing that he did not refuse, Bo Saixi's heart was filled with a trace of joy.

She reacted immediately, and couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart.

She would feel that she had suffered for the sake of a child, and she had lived in vain for so many years.

Su Cheng and Bo Saixi left Aemyeo City together, and they were on their way to Poseidon Mountain at this time.

The diameter of the entire Poseidon Island is more than 400 li, and Poseidon Mountain is not close to the Aemoo City, which used to be about 200 miles away.

It is known as the forbidden place of Poseidon Island.

Generally speaking, only the Holy Pillar Douluo or the High Priest himself could go.

Just like the Pope Mountain in Wuhun City, unless there are special circumstances, others must not be able to approach.

Of course, if there was a high priest named Bo Saixi, it would not be too much of a problem to bring one or two people.

The distance of 200 miles is for ordinary people, even if it takes a whole day to ride a horse. But for a soul master who is running with all his might, it obviously won't take that long.

At this time, Bo Saixi was like a red cloud floating in the air in front of him, controlling his forward speed.

This speed was set by her according to Su Cheng's soul power level at this time.

She also wanted to see what Su Cheng's true background was, and whether his strength matched Xiuwei.

But what Bo Saixi didn't expect was that at this time, Su Cheng also looked at ease, and easily followed, without the slightest effort and reluctance.

When the sun set and a faint sunset was rendered on the horizon, the two also came to the vicinity of their destination.

Walking through a dense forest, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Su Cheng looked at the beautiful scenery as far as his eyes could see, and he was a little surprised for a while.

The sparkling waters shone in the sunset, and in the middle of the water, a small island rises in the middle of the ring-shaped water.

The terrain on the island is very high, about 500 meters high, and what is even more wonderful is that the small island is shrouded in a faint golden light. Although the light was not intense, it had nothing to do with the sunset, but rather a light that emanated from the island on its own.

At the top of the island, a dome-shaped white jade palace stands on top of it, and the perimeter is composed of huge white stone pillars, which look sacred and abnormal.

Po Saixi fell to the shore and looked at the palace on the mountain island not far away.

"There is the Poseidon Temple, which is dedicated to the Poseidon Temple, and it is also the real core of Poseidon Island."

She looked back at Su Cheng and explained softly, "Those white jade steps at the bottom of the mountain are the stairs to the island, and there are a total of one thousand and one steps. After you are eighteen years old, if you have obtained the black level assessment or above, you will be eligible to come here and step on the steps to accept the test of the Poseidon Light. ”

"Poseidon's Light?" Su Cheng's eyes moved slightly and looked up.

On the periphery of Poseidon Mountain, there is a circular sea surface surrounded by a width of about 200 meters. The waves in the sea are not big, more like a circular lake, but it is full of seawater.

In front of the Poseidon Temple, the stone steps of the Dao Dao extend downward, and under the light of the sunset, the white stone steps are like a jade belt on the Poseidon Mountain.

"That's right." Bo Saixi nodded, but did not mean to explain in detail.

just said: "But even if you don't accept the assessment, it's not that you can't experience the light of the sea god, but the premise is that you can rush through the ring sea." And if you want to withstand the pressure of the Poseidon Light, it is not easy. ”

Su Cheng silently stared at the hill in the distance, and suddenly his heart was clear, "This fluctuation ...... I see! ”

It's a lot like the eyes of ice and fire!

The soul power surging like a tide, although it was extremely condensed, and almost no aftermath escaped, Su Cheng's acumen still sensed the essence of that thing.

But the difference is that the danger of the Eyes of Ice and Fire lies in the extreme attributes of the Ice and Fire Aura, while the Seagod's Light is the ultra-high density contained in it.

Su Cheng felt a trace of joy in his heart, this place could help him condense his self-generated soul ring.

He turned his head to look at Bo Saixi, "Teacher, that is not a test, but a blessing from Lord Poseidon to believers. ”

There was something thoughtful in his heart, but something else came out of his mouth.

"Lord Poseidon is happy to show his followers in the direction and help. But it's not about keeping pets, it's about honing and nurturing.

"God help those who help themselves. If you can't work hard, you will naturally be given up by Lord Poseidon.

"Just like me, my innate soul power is low, and this is also a test. If I accept reality, then I don't deserve the guidance of Lord Poseidon. ”

Bo Saixi was stunned again when he heard this, "Is this the case......

Of course, she knew the effect of the Poseidon Light, but she hadn't thought of this layer.

Combined with Su Cheng's own experience, it made her feel a little empowered for a while.

Looking at Su Cheng, Bo Saixi said, "But it's too early for you to get in touch with the Seagod's Light." From now on, you can come over once a month, and I'll be here to teach you what you want to learn. ”

Obviously, even if Su Cheng really became her disciple, the Sea God Temple was not a place that could be entered casually.

Normally, the Seagod Temple needs at least seven Saint Pillar Douluo to open it together, and otherwise, only Bo Saixi can open it alone.

But it was impossible for her to break the rules casually, cheat and take Su Cheng into the Sea God Temple.

In fact, Su Cheng didn't want her to break the rules, let alone enter the Sea God Temple.

It's unlikely, but it's still a bit conspicuous to go there.

In the face of the gods, it is impossible to be too cautious.

If the sea god notices his existence, he will definitely not have the slightest ability to resist at this time, and it is easy to have big problems.

He didn't need the sea god to make a move, as long as he passed down his divine thoughts with the help of the Seven Holy Pillars, it was enough to make it difficult for him to move an inch.

"What do you want to learn now?"

Bo Saixi said lightly. There was also some curiosity in my heart about what choice this child would make.

But to her surprise, Su Cheng didn't ask anything about the cultivation of the soul master, but said, "I want to hear about the experience of Lord Seagod. ”

Bo Saixi didn't know that this was a plan he had made a long time ago.

Su Cheng doesn't need guidance from others, and no one else can teach him his own situation, not even Bo Saixi.

I want this master-apprentice relationship, just to get a reputation and bridge that can be close to Bo Saixi.

But when getting along, we should try to seek balance and equality.

If he lowers his head in thought, it will be difficult for him to try to influence the other person's thoughts.

There are many kinds of geniuses in this world. Cultivation genius, combat genius, management genius and so on.

But who said that being able to deeply understand the spiritual will of a god is not an ability?

Even for the believers, Su Cheng's talent was even more worthy of their respect, including this Seagod Island High Priest, a ninety-nine-level peerless Douluo.

Bo Saixi didn't know what he was thinking, but he patiently explained.

"Su Cheng, do you know how big the sea is?"

"Of course I know." Su Cheng nodded, "The area of the sea is more than four times that of the Douluo Continent, and even if you add other scattered islands and other continents, the area of the sea is more than twice that of the land. ”

Bo Saixi bowed his head slightly.

"In the vastness of the sea, there are far more creatures than on land. If these sea creatures lose their restraint and continue to wage war, the consequences will be even more chaotic than on land.

"Many, many years ago, the sea was like that. Heroes emerge in troubled times, and among the many sea soul masters, there is an amazing genius who has traveled to every corner of the sea all his life with his own strength.

"Armed with a trident, he relied on his great strength and unparalleled personality to conquer one race after another in the sea.

"After a thousand and one years, the ocean was finally unified, and it was revered as the god of the sea by all the sea tribes, creating an immortal myth."

"A thousand years ......," Su Cheng repeated softly.

"That's right, a thousand years. Are you a little surprised? At the beginning, Lord Seagod spent more than a thousand years conquering the sea with his ninety-nine-level strength. ”

"Ninety-nine?" Su Cheng looked at Bo Saixi, "Teacher, you are also a ninety-ninth level strength, right?" ”

"It's different." Bo Saixi chuckled, and his eyes also revealed a look of longing.

"When the soul power exceeds the ninety-fifth level, unless there is a special opportunity, according to the normal absorption of soul power cultivation, the time required to upgrade each level is based on a hundred years.

"And when it comes to level ninety-seven or above, it is an absolute bottleneck. According to normal calculations, it would be impossible for human beings to cultivate to level ninety-nine. Because the level of 97 to 98 will take a full 300 years, and the level of 98 to 99 will require a full 600 years of sleepless penance.

"I was able to reach level ninety-nine because I passed the top eight exams, received the glory of Lord Seagod, and was promoted to high priest. Most of my strength comes from the gift of Lord Seagod. ”

Su Cheng nodded when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, he continued to ask: "But Lord Seagod has finally become a god, not as simple as a ninety-ninth level Title Douluo. ”

"That's right. Even if it is the strength of Lord Poseidon, it took a thousand years to break through the hundred levels and achieve the position of Poseidon.

"Because in our world, we have our own rules, and the strength of the ninety-ninth level Title Douluo is the upper limit of this rule. At this level, don't think about moving forward.

"When you break through this level, it is equivalent to breaking the rules and being above the rules, which is the so-called god. But that's not something that can be done alone.

"Lord Seagod relied on the power of faith of thousands of sea soul beasts and sea soul masters to break through."

"Are all these things handed down from history?" Su Cheng suddenly asked at this time, "I haven't seen too many stories about Lord Seagod becoming a god in the various classics of Aema City. ”

Bo Saixi was stunned by his question, and then hesitated: "Not exactly, there are some things that my teacher, the previous high priest, told me. ”

Su Cheng nodded and did not continue to investigate.

He stood there in deep thought for a long time.

Bo Saixi was not in a hurry, and stood aside and waited patiently.

After a long time, Su Cheng slowly spoke, "Teacher, I want to ask you three questions. ”

"You say."

"I once looked through the classics and knew that there was a powerful soul beast overlord in the sea area, named the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, do you know anything about it?"

Bo Saixi was a little strange, and he didn't know why Su Cheng's first question was about this sea soul beast, but he still answered it.

"I know it. The strength of that Deep Sea Demon Whale King is extremely powerful, and it can even be said that it is the strongest soul beast in the world today. Even I wasn't sure I could defeat it.

"If measured by the strength of a human being, it should also be a ninety-ninth level Title Douluo. It has even broken through the limit of the life of a 100,000-year soul beast, and it is only one step away from turning into a dragon.

"The so-called dragon means that it can become a real sea god dragon. If this step can be successful, then it will become second only to God.

"But for soul beasts, this step is difficult to ascend to the sky. To do this, it would take a full million years, and during that time, it would take nine tribulations, which was even more difficult than the soul master's cultivation to become a god. ”

"A million years?" Su Cheng pretended to be surprised.

"That's right. But that guy didn't live that long. Bo Saixi shook his head, "It has been cultivating for almost more than 300,000 years. However, with the devouring of other sea soul beasts and the special skills he possessed, he had already broken through eight tribulations, which was equivalent to a cultivation close to the million-year level. In addition to being afraid of the sea god, he is the true overlord of the sea. ”

"I see." Su Cheng nodded slowly.

Then he looked at Bo Saixi and asked, "Teacher, my first question is, Lord Seagod was obviously able to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, why didn't he kill it in the first place?" ”

Hearing Su Cheng's words, Bo Saixi's face pale slightly.

She really didn't know why the sea god didn't kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

In fact, Su Cheng had some guesses in his heart about this question.

Maybe it was a gift prepared by the sea god for his future god heir, or maybe this deep sea demon whale king was originally intended by the sea god to leave for himself, but he didn't have time to use it yet, of course, it is not ruled out that he had a kind heart at that time, and felt that it was not easy to let it go when he cultivated.

But these reasons are obviously not something Bo Saixi can think of.

In fact, Bo Saixi himself has always had some doubts about the existence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Seeing that Su Cheng was still staring at herself, a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head and sighed softly: "I don't know either." ”

"Teacher, I have some thoughts about this." Su Cheng said softly.

"As I said before, Lord Poseidon is kind to believers, but he is also strict with believers.

"Poseidon is omnipotent, but everyone is an individual, and Poseidon will not let his followers lose their will and become pets.

"God help the self-helper, the existence of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is an example. There are always difficulties that we need to overcome on our own.

"The spirit of Lord Poseidon will guide me, but it will not command me, and whether or not we can achieve something in the end requires our own efforts after all."

"......" Hearing his explanation, Bo Saixi pondered for a moment.

There seems to be some truth to this, too.

But is it too harsh for Lord Poseidon to leave such a huge hidden danger?

Su Cheng didn't wait for her answer.

It is enough to throw this question to the other party first, and then there is time for her to think about it.

Su Cheng then threw out his next question.

"Teacher, my second question is, since Lord Poseidon traveled all over the world and the sea, why did you, as the high priest of the Poseidon, live in the Poseidon Temple all year round? Does Poseidon really need you to serve day and night on Poseidon Mountain?

"Although I am still young, I know a lot, and I know the desires of the people of the sea god.

"If you are always high up and can only look down on all beings, how can you really know the heart's desires of the people of the sea god?"
