Holding the Sea God Trident, Dugu Yan descended the three-tiered platform, her face filled with excitement.
Bo Saixi looked at Dugu Yan with reverence, her gaze as if she were looking at the Sea God himself. She said with emotion, "Having gained the acknowledgment of the Sea God Trident, you are now just one step away from becoming the Sea God. With the Sea God's blessing, our Sea God Island will finally welcome a new Sea God."
Dugu Yan smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
Bo Saixi shook her head.
"There's no need to thank me. Drawing out the Sea God Trident was entirely your own ability. Not everyone who knows the method can gain its acknowledgment."
As they spoke, Chen Yuan interjected, "High Priest, Yanyan is now just one step away from completing the eighth trial of the Sea God's Nine Trials—reaching level 99 soul power. However, under normal circumstances, progressing from level 96 to level 99 would take a significant amount of time. Do you have any suggestions?"
Bo Saixi fell into deep thought upon hearing this. She certainly hoped that Dugu Yan could inherit the Sea God's divine position as soon as possible, as it would allow her to finally find peace. However, advancing from level 96 to level 99 without special opportunities would take decades, if not centuries.
After some consideration, Bo Saixi made up her mind. She had already longed for liberation, so she decided to do everything within her power to help Dugu Yan break through as quickly as possible.
She walked to the base of the three-tiered platform, knelt down, and clasped her hands together in a gesture of devotion. Suddenly, golden light erupted around her, and within the radiance, a golden figure materialized. Clad in golden armor and wielding a golden trident, the figure's face was blurred—it was her martial soul, the Sea God.
One by one, her soul rings rose—eight black and one red, an extraordinary configuration.
As Bo Saixi prayed and activated the unique properties of her Sea God martial soul, the Seven Sacred Pillars of the Sea God on the island began to glow. The accumulated faith energy of the Sea God surged into the sky, converging toward Sea God Mountain and the Sea God Temple.
A moment later, a beam of light descended from the heavens, enveloping the three-tiered platform. Within the platform's range, the Sea God's divine power flowed like a tangible substance.
Bo Saixi stood up and turned to the group, saying, "As the High Priest of Sea God Island, I can mobilize a portion of the Sea God's faith energy. I have now converted this faith energy into the Sea God's divine power. From now on, Dugu Yan can cultivate on this platform. Absorbing the Sea God's divine power will increase her cultivation speed tenfold, even a hundredfold. With this, she should be able to reach level 99 soul power within a few years."
"I believe the Sea God will not mind if his faith energy is absorbed by his chosen heir."
Chen Yuan was both surprised and delighted. He had merely mentioned the idea, never expecting Bo Saixi to have a solution. Thinking about it, it made sense. As the Sea God's servant, High Priest Bo Saixi could indeed mobilize a portion of the Sea God's divine power within the island's boundaries.
He expressed his sincere gratitude, "Thank you, High Priest. Yanyan, give it a try. Absorb the Sea God's divine power and cultivate. Don't let the High Priest's kindness go to waste."
Dugu Yan was eager to try but first expressed her heartfelt thanks to Bo Saixi, "Thank you, Senior!"
After expressing her gratitude, Dugu Yan climbed back onto the three-tiered platform. She placed the Sea God Trident on the ground and sat down cross-legged. The tangible Sea God's divine power flowing around her felt incredibly soothing, and she quickly entered a meditative state.
In an instant, the Sea God's divine power, converted from faith energy, flowed into Dugu Yan's body like streams of light. It traveled through her meridians and into her dantian, merging with her own soul power.
Dugu Yan's soul power, both in quantity and quality, began to grow at a visible rate. It was clear that the Sea God's divine power greatly benefited her cultivation.
Chen Yuan nodded slightly. With this, he no longer needed to worry about Dugu Yan's cultivation. He turned to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Rongrong, Zhuqing, once you've adjusted your states, begin absorbing your god-given soul rings. You've both reached level 80 soul power, and I'm sure you're eager to break through and become Soul Douluos."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing perked up at his words. They had been at level 80 for some time and were undoubtedly eager to advance.
However, they didn't rush into absorbing the soul rings. Ning Rongrong turned to Bo Saixi and asked, "Senior, can we absorb the god-given soul rings here in the Sea God Temple?"
Bo Saixi smiled and replied, "Of course. You've both passed the Top Seven Trials and hold a status on Sea God Island second only to mine. You are free to enter and cultivate in the Sea God Temple."
With this assurance, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing each took out a god-given soul ring. As they channeled their soul power into the golden orbs, the orbs shattered, releasing a golden mist that enveloped their bodies.
Immediately, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing involuntarily released their martial souls. In Ning Rongrong's hand appeared a nine-story, nine-colored glazed pagoda, while Zhu Zhuqing's body transformed, gaining cat ears and a tail as she completed her Netherworld Spirit Cat possession.
Beneath them, soul rings began to rise one after another—black, black, black, black, black, black, black. After passing the Top Seven Trials, their soul rings had each gained an additional 10,000 years, turning all seven of their soul rings black.
With seven ten-thousand-year soul rings and the effects of the two immortal herbs they had consumed, both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had the potential to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
As the golden mist permeated their bodies, passing through their muscles, bones, and meridians, it began to exert pressure from all sides. The tug-of-war had begun.
Absorbing a god-given soul ring not only granted them the most suitable soul skill but also allowed them to continuously increase the soul ring's duration, obtaining the best possible soul ring within their physical limits.
At this moment, both women were filled with determination. With such exceptional conditions, they were determined to obtain a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

Meanwhile, on the Douluo Continent!
In the mountains 300 miles east of Heaven Dou City, a pale, sinister-looking man emerged.
Though his appearance had changed significantly, this man was Tang San. After refining the life force of all the members of the Clear Sky Clan, including five Titled Douluos, he had broken through to level 80 soul power. The drastic change in his appearance was due to the Soul Devouring Six-Headed Bat King further taking over his body.
"I've drained the Clear Sky Clan dry. I can't return to the Moon Pavilion. Where else can I go now…"
After some thought, Tang San came to an answer.
"Xiao Wu, I must see Xiao Wu!"
