Chapter 275 The Secret of the Light of the Sea God
the next morning,
The Shrek Academy students had already gathered at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. Today, they were going to take a look at the first test and cross the Sea God's Light.
Li Luochen came to Poseidon Island this time because of the immense pressure from the Light of the Sea God. Only with the Light of the Sea God could Li Luochen feel at ease to do that thing.
"Are you all going to the forbidden area?" The purple-clad sea spirit master, who was about fifty years old, was very surprised when he heard that everyone was going to the forbidden area of Poseidon Island.
Oscar said, "It's like this, we've accepted the trials bestowed upon us by the Sea God. The first test is traversing the Sea God's Light. Therefore, we must go to the forbidden area of Sea God Island. So we'll have to trouble you."
The purple-robed sea spirit master then realized what was happening and quickly said, "Alright, then I'll escort you all there. Is there anything else you need?"
Led by the purple-clad sea spirit master, the Shrek group left Seahorse City and headed straight outside the city.
As they walked, Ma Hongjun asked Li Luochen in a slightly puzzled tone, "Brother Chen, isn't this too easy? We're going to a forbidden area, why didn't this purple-robed Sea Soul Master ask us any more questions before taking us there?"
"Easy? Hehe, you'll see when you get there," Li Luochen said with a smile.
Oscar pondered for a moment and said, "I suddenly thought of a question. If the Light of Poseidon is a barrier to stop enemy invasion, it will put pressure on us when we step into it."
So, will this pressure unleash our potential? If the answer is yes, then this first assessment, which is the same for everyone, can only be a good thing for us.
"Huh? How did you know that? Did someone spoil it for you?" Li Luochen asked in surprise.
"Hehe, you guessed right. I was just guessing based on the Sea Soul Master's expression and the content of our assessment. Judging from Brother Chen's expression, I should be right! I really am the clever and witty little prince."
After saying that, Oscar put one hand on his head and tilted his head back at a 45-degree angle.
"You're so smart!" Ning Rongrong delivered a flying kick, sending Oscar staggering.
"Your assessments, except for Dai Mubai's, have been quite difficult. The trials you'll face may be extremely challenging. If I'm not mistaken, there are several reasons why this purple-robed sea spirit master agreed to take us to the forbidden area without hesitation."
First, it's because of the brand on your foreheads. If I'm not mistaken, when the sea god bestows trials, he considers not only the strength and potential of the person being tested, but also, for us outsiders, the factor of our character.
You have all passed the high-level tests, especially since you alarmed the Grand Elder, Sea God Douluo. Therefore, they have no reason to doubt us. And in fact, we really won't do anything detrimental to Sea God Island.
Secondly, since you will be undergoing your first test in the forbidden area of Poseidon Island, the defenses of this forbidden area must be extremely formidable. This includes the Poseidon's Light that you will have to withstand.
So keep up the good work! Like I said before, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Whether you can become Title Douluos within a few years depends on your willpower.
Li Luochen crossed his arms and spoke slowly.
After passing through a dense forest, the Shrek Seven Devils were stunned by the sight before them when the purple-clad sea spirit master stopped.
The shimmering sea reflected countless colorful lights under the glow of the sunset, and in the embrace of the sea, a small island stood in the very center of the ring-shaped waters.
The island is very high, about 500 meters high, and most peculiarly, it is shrouded in a faint golden light.
Although the light wasn't intense, the Shrek members could tell that it wasn't the glow of the sunset, but rather the island's own natural radiance.
At the top of the island stood a building that resembled a piece of white jade, square in shape with a dome. From where they stood, they could only see that the outermost part of the building consisted of massive white stone pillars. The entire structure was made of such a crystalline material that it was filled with a sacred radiance.
"This is the forbidden area?" Oscar murmured.
The purple-robed Sea Soul Master's eyes were filled with piety. "Yes, this is the forbidden area of our Sea God Island, the Sea God Temple, which enshrines the Sea God. It is the only building on the summit of Sea God Mountain. It is also the true Sea God Island, also known as an island within an island. Please look, what you see in front of us is the staircase to the island."
That is where you will be tested; there are 1001 steps in total. Only the guardians of Seagod Island who have passed the Seagod's purple-level or higher assessment are qualified to ascend the steps and enter the Seagod Temple for worship.
Otherwise, you will be blocked by the light of the sea god. Those who wish to undergo the test may go now. I will wait for you here. But please, do not make any noise on Mount Poseidon, lest you disturb the great sea god.”
Following his pointing direction, everyone looked and sure enough, from the front of the Sea God Temple, stone steps extended downwards. Under the glow of the sunset, the white stone steps reflected light, like a jade ribbon gently draped over the Sea God Mountain.
They exchanged a glance, and just as the Shrek Seven Devils were about to set off, the purple-clad Sea Soul Master seemed to remember something and quickly said:
"Distinguished guests, when you are undergoing trials, do not force yourself if things become impossible. As long as you retreat quickly from the sacred mountain, you will naturally be unharmed. The Light of the Sea God is probably the only relatively safe trial you will face in the future. Therefore, you need not be too hesitant."
"Alright, purple-robed steward, their test is over to them. Go and instruct them to prepare good food and water for them every day. They will be cultivating here from now on."
Li Luochen waved his hand, signaling the purple-clad sea spirit master to step down.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. You need not worry about me. Actually, it is a good thing to be allowed by the Sea God to undergo the trial of the Sea God's Light. This is only available in the Black-level assessment."
Without the Sea God's permission, even we Sea Soul Masters who have passed the test are not allowed to enter the forbidden area.
The circular lake is about 200 meters wide, with gentle waves. While called a sea, it's actually a circular lake, and the water is still seawater. The only question is how to get onto the island.
Li Luochen took a step and arrived at the bottom of the steps. He didn't allow anyone who wasn't a successor of the Sea God's Light to go up.
I am the inheritor of the Asura God, so ask the Sea God if he is moved now.
Meanwhile, in the realm of gods, in the Temple of the Sea God
"Shura, let's talk this out. Could you please put down this Shura Divine Sword and let's have a good drink together, brother?"
At this moment, Poseidon was in a dangerous situation, after all, the Asura Sword was held around his neck, and the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from his throat.
"Poseidon, you're shameless! You dare to attack my successor? Want to taste the sharpness of my sword?"
(Poseidon: My halberd has never been at a disadvantage!)
"Isn't this a promising talent? He's incredibly gifted. I just didn't realize he was yours. I already passed on my divine position to that boy's female companion."
"The boy will become the god of law enforcement, and his wife will become the chief goddess. Isn't that wonderful? Would you please put down your sword?" Poseidon said obsequiously.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. And another thing! Don't go running around to Rakshasa Goddess's place all the time. Rakshasa Goddess told me that you're trying to harass her!" Asura Goddess put away her weapon.
"Ah? Oh, I know, I know, I promise I won't go." Poseidon nodded repeatedly.
The Asura God nodded and then left. As for which direction he went, well, of course, it was the Rakshasa Temple.
After a while, Poseidon slowly exhaled and thought:
This damned Asura must be having an affair with a Rakshasa! And he dares to threaten me, the god! If he's so capable, let's fight in the sea! Who's afraid of who in the sea!
