Chapter 141: Hedging
🕑 Added 2025-03-15 10:06:01 +0000 UTCYe Cheng and Sun Zhongjing had a great conversation and soon sorted out the details of the cooperation. Baiyun City provided a large area as the headquarters of the Medicine King Sect. Then the sect was officially integrated into Baiyun City and became a part of it.
Wait until the deal is settled.
In order to show his sincerity, Ye Cheng personally led Sun Zhongjing and the other two to fly to the sect headquarters allocated to them.
This place is located in the inner area, covering a large area, with some palace-like houses and various living facilities. There are even medicinal gardens for growing medicinal herbs. It can be said that everything is ready.
Sun Zhongjing could move in anytime he wanted. He could even open the gates of the temple and recruit disciples. He was very satisfied with this.
Thus, the matter of Sun Zhongjing joining Baiyun City was confirmed.
Ye Cheng and Sun Zhongjing were the only ones talking during the entire conversation. Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, the grandfather and grandson, had no room to interrupt and just served as the background.
After all, to put it bluntly, the two of them are subordinates. When the boss is talking, how can the subordinates have room to interrupt?
…
While the mainland was developing rapidly, there was the Sea God Island far away in the ocean.
Here, Neptune has passed seven tests at this time and completed seven of the nine tests of the Sea God. As long as he completes the last two tests, he can inherit the position of the Sea God and become a god.
The process was very fast, because his strength was different from that of Tang San and others in the original novel, and some tests were not difficult for him. The Sea God arranged these tests more like routine matters.
As a reward for passing the test, Neptune’s current spirit ring configuration has changed from two yellow, two purple, four black and one red to an exaggerated configuration of five black and four red. The seven tests and seven rewards are all rewards for increasing the age of the spirit rings. It can be seen that even the Sea God thinks that what he lacks from becoming a god is the age of the spirit rings, so his 1234th, first four spirit rings, all became ten thousand year spirit rings. After that, the remaining three were all added to the eighth, seventh and sixth spirit rings.
Although his current soul ring ratio is inferior to that of Ye Cheng and Sun Zhongjing’s nine-ring all-red 100,000-year soul rings, his soul power level has naturally reached the realm of Level 99 Limit Douluo with the soul power blessing brought by the increase in the age of so many soul rings!
After all, even the great priest Bo Saixi, who is at the limit, only has eight black and one red soul rings.
Neptune successfully relied on fleecing the Sea God and, with the help of the rewards from the Divine Test, reached the level of Limit Douluo. So far, including the main body, Ye Cheng already had three Limit Douluo-level powers.
The seventh test of the Sea God is to pull out the divine weapon, The Sea God’s Trident!
Neptune naturally succeeded easily, not only obtaining a divine weapon, but also taking one step closer to inheriting the throne of the Sea God.
Immediately afterwards, the eighth test followed.
[The Eighth Test of the Sea God: Find the Heart of the Sea God!
Specific content: Go to the mainland, find the lost Heart of the Sea God, and obtain the recognition of the Heart of the Sea God to complete the test. 】
After reading the details of the test, Neptune slowly opened his eyes, and saw the beautiful figure of the Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi. Judging from her appearance, no one could imagine that this woman who looked like a ripe peach was actually over 100 years old.
All I can say is that no matter how old women are, they care a lot about their appearance.
He looked down at his hand, where he tightly grasped the Sea God’s Trident. The huge trident, about two meters long, felt extremely heavy!
At this time, all around the entire Sea God Temple, there was a light golden pattern everywhere, including the Sea God Platform under his feet and the other seven platforms around. This made the originally simple temple look extremely gorgeous. It was obvious that the scene of pulling out the artifact in the previous video had been staged again.
“Neptune, congratulations, you have passed the seventh test of the Sea God. You have begun to truly gain the recognition of the Sea God.” Bo Saixi said to him with a smile. But she felt sour in her heart, but she couldn’t tell anyone.
“After passing two more tests, it will be that time… Tang Chen, I still can’t wait for you?” She sighed in her heart, inevitably feeling a little discouraged.
“High Priest, why can I pull out the Sea God’s Trident like in the video when I don’t have the Heart of the Sea God?” Neptune asked with some confusion. He looked at the head of the Sea God’s Trident in his hand. There was a hole there, and the crucial object was not embedded there.
In the future video played previously, he was finally able to pull out the Sea God’s Trident. It was obvious that this was because the Sea God took the initiative to recall the Heart of the Sea God and embedded it in the Sea God’s Trident, which allowed him to finally pull out the artifact.
But this time, the Sea God did not summon back the Heart of the Sea God. Why could he pull it out?
Hearing his doubts, Bo Saixi smiled slightly and said calmly: “In fact, if you want to pull out the Sea God’s Trident, the Heart of the Sea God is important, but it is not necessary. Without the Heart of the Sea God, you can still pull out the Sea God’s Trident. It’s just that the difficulty will increase significantly.
To be honest, I didn’t expect you to be able to pull out the Sea God’s Triden without relying on the Heart of the Sea God. It seems that your power is much stronger than I thought.”
“Is that so?”
Neptune showed a look of realization, then he remembered something and asked, “High Priest, my eighth test is to go to the mainland to retrieve the Heart of the Sea God, but I have always had a question. Why is the Heart of the Sea God, the most precious treasure of the Sea God Island, not on the Sea God Island, but instead it has drifted to the mainland? Could it be lost for some reason?”
He had this doubt since he read novels in his previous life.
“It’s not what you think.”
Bo Saixi shook her head and explained, “The Heart of the Sea God is the core of the the Sea God Trident and also the core of the Sea God’s inheritance. It contains the thoughts of the Sea God and is used to select successors. Therefore, it is impossible for it to stay in one place for a long time. It will drift away with the waves…looking for the destined person.”
“What you mean is… if you can’t find an heir in the sea, you can take the initiative to look for him somewhere else?”
After listening to Bo Saixi, Neptune’s face looked a little strange. He understood that the Sea God saw that he couldn’t find an heir in the sea for a long time, so he simply controlled the Heart of the Sea God to run to the mainland, hedging his bets, which was always better than staying in one place.
How much does this Sea God want to get rid of his position as Sea God? Is the God Realm really that miserable?
