"This will be interesting..." Xuan Yan spoke glancing at Bo Saixi. Bo Saixi's eyebrow twitched, the second trial is to fight her and she doesn't have to hold back.
"I will not hold back and I will show what cruelty is, rogue..." Bo Saixi said looking at him. A chuckle escaped his lips "You think you can beat me?"
Bo Saixi's eyes were firm "There are no limitations in this trial and I can go all out. The sea is my playground, in the sea I can even defeat two Limit Douluos together, do you think I can't defeat you?"
Bo Saixi was actually quite excited, what's the use of cultivating all these years and reaching level 99? Just to stay idle?... they rarely get to see a person who is on the same level as them and they can use all their powers.
"And you are still level 98, there is a large gap between level 98 and level 99. But I guess your spirit rings make up for it."
Xuan Yan smiled understanding her feeling "Yue'er also asked for a fight with you. Now you also got to fight me, hmm life is tough for this Old beauty."
"Huh? O-Old beauty?" Bo Saixi was dumbfounded, Did he call me old?
Xuan Yan shrugged with an innocent look on his face "What? You are almost two hundred years old right? and you are beautiful... together it's old beauty."
"You!" Bo Saixi yelled and seeing his innocent look fueled her anger even more. Don't you know it is taboo to talk about a woman's age? She also remembered him teasing her back on the mainland for her being weak.
In a playful and somewhat melancholic tone "It's a pity that Bo Saixi, the daughter of the Sea is getting old."
Seeing him still taunting her, "You are really looking for a fight now!" she instinctively punched him barehanded with a bit of spirit power.
*woosh* Xuan Yan didn't blink and deftly caught her hand. Bo Saixi narrowed her eyes and seeing his teasing smile, she tried to pull back her hand.
But she was a little embarrassed as Xuan Yan kept holding her soft hand "Let go of my hand..."
"Then stop doing these silly things," he said and Bo Saixi gave a nod "I won't punch you so let go of my hand."
With a small nod, Xuan Yan let go of her hand. A delicate flush of pink graced her cheeks as she withdrew her hand, and Xuan Yan shifted his attention toward the magnificent Sea God Temple that stood behind them.
Seizing the opportunity, Bo Saixi stomped on his foot while he was not paying attention. "Eh?" Xuan Yan was startled by the sudden force on his foot and saw Bo Saixi squashing his foot.
"I said that I won't punch you..." Bo Saixi sneered and retracted her leg. A small sigh left Xuan Yan's lips "For an old woman, you are actually acting like a child."
A nerve popped in Bo Saixi's forehead. Stop mentioning my age! "Rogue..." she mumbled under her lips. However, despite her outward annoyance, deep down inside her heart, a sense of happiness began to bloom. It had been quite some time since she had been the target of Xuan Yan's teasing and now it was her, not Xiu Yin.
Noticing his gaze towards the Sea God Temple, Bo Saixi asked "Interested?" Xuan Yan gave a nod and walked toward the temple "Come on show me around..."
*thud* Opening the grand door, Xuan Yan and Bo Saixi entered the Sea God Temple. Just as Xuan Yan had anticipated, the interior of the temple was a sight to behold - a magnificent display of opulence and grandeur. The air itself seemed to be infused with divine energy, creating an atmosphere of reverence and awe.
In the center of the large hall, a resplendent trident made of pure gold stands firmly embedded in the floor, casting a luminous glow that illuminates its surroundings.
"So, that's Poseidon's trident huh..." Xuan Yan uttered looking at the trident. Bo Saixi walked forward and kneeled in front of the Trident paying respect to it.
Xuan Yan casually strolled around the Sea God Temple and after spending a considerable amount of time both Xuan Yan and Bo Saixi walked out of the temple.
"By the way, did you get any information about Xiu Yin?" Xuan Yan asked walking beside her. Bo Saixi looked at him blankly "You asked about her yesterday night and you expect me to give you the info today?"
Xuan Yan spoke glancing at her eyes "You are the High Priestess, is it that hard for you to get info about a person in your Sea God Island..."
Bo Saixi gave a light cough "Well, actually I know somethings about her, you know because I was the one who sent her to the mainland.."
"Oh? Does she have any family members?" Xuan Yan asked and Bo Saixi shook her head "Um, no actually she is living alone..."
Xuan Yan frowned his eyebrows "She has no family...hmm" Bo Saixi looked at him pondering about something and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Xuan Yan waved his hand "Nothing..." he said brushing it off and walking down the stairs. As he already passed the trial, the pressure in negatated.
Bo Saixi smiled watching his back as he walked through the stairs. Xuan Yan gently turned his head "See you later, Old Beauty." he said and casually continued walking.
Bo Saixi gritted her teeth in annoyance "Brat..." but she also found the situation amusing and couldn't help but chuckle to herself. allowing a hearty giggle to escape her lips.
...
Sitting on the small white table, Xuan Yan looked at the golden-haired woman sitting opposite him deep in thought "Couldn't manifest the divine consciousness?"
Xuan Yan gave a nod looking at the Divine Consciousness of the Angel God "Yeah, Xiao Shi... As I said once, I destroyed the Divine Consciousness of the Sea God once. So during the assessment, I couldn't sense his presence or Divine Consciousness, that's why I asked."
Zhou Shi leaned in placing her hands on the table "I am not so sure, Yan'er... My divine consciousness has never been destroyed. But I am sure I can manifest it again."
Xuan Yan smiled "Why don't we try?"
"Try what?" Zhou Shi asked puzzled.
"I will destroy your divine consciousness, then you try to manifest it again. This way, we can know if you can re-manifest the divine consciousness if it's destroyed once."
Zhou Shi yelled looking at him "I am not your lab rat for experiments, brat..." Xuan Yan's lips curled into a mischievous smile and Zhou Shi panicked looking at his smile "N-" *thrassh*
In the next instant, Zhou Shi's divine consciousness is broken into pieces. Xuan Yan smiled "Now I have destroyed it, can she manifest it again?"
*swish* The Divine consciousness of the Angel Gos appeared and Xuan Yan chuckled seeing the angry look on her face "Oh, you came back?!"
"YOU!!! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS DOING RECKLESS THINGS LIKE THISSSSS!!!" Zhou Shi screamed as she tried to punch him. Xuan Yan just sat there calmly as her fists passed through him "So you can manifest it again, huh..."
"What would you have done if my divine really got destroyed and I couldn't come here again." Zhou Shi asked angrily and Xuan Yan smiled "I would have come to the Divine Realm to see you."
"Bah, enough of your joking... hmph!" Zhao Shi sneered. But she is really glad that her divine consciousness didn't get destroyed because then she couldn't come and see Xuan Yan anymore.
Xuan Yan was quite amused seeing her reaction as it kinda reminded her of Bo Saixi, 'These old women are all the same and it is fun to tease them..'
Xuan Yan leisurely leaned back on the chair "But why Poseidon is not appearing?" Zhou Shi stopped punching the air and spoke "Maybe because it's the way you destroyed him."
"You destroyed my divine consciousness with spirit power, but you destroyed his with a special fire right? Maybe because of that??" Zhou Shi again took a seat opposite him.
[Master, as I said... it is because of your void flame his divine consciousness got destroyed in the true sense I guess...]
"Hmm, that's possible!" Xuan Yan spoke and Zhou Shi squinted her eyes "Talking about him, what happened to the trials you took?"
Xuan Yan gave a nod "I just completed my first trial and I got the 13 halberd moves. All of them!"
This surprised Zhou Shi "He gave those powerful and exclusive moves to you?"
Xuan Yan chuckled "After getting those 13 moves, I understood why you lost against Poseidon in the battle."
Zhou Shi clicked her tongue "Tch! Those moves are really strong and using it with that Trident is powerful."
Xuan Yan smiled with a nod "Yeah, they surely are powerful... but the reason you lost is because of the Spear intent."
"Spear Intent?" Zhou Shi raised her eyebrow. Xuan Yan spoke, "Only after seeing the thirteen moves I understood, that Poseidon has actually learned the realm of spear intent... it's like achieving enlightenment in the spear."
"You are using the Holy Sword, if only you had learned the Sword Intent... you could have won maybe."
"Sword Intent..." Zhou Shi squinted her pretty eyebrows thinking about this. "Do you know this Sword Intent?"
A smile appeared on Xuan Yan's lips "I know both Sword and Spear Intent. Now I am teaching Xue'er the sword intent."
"Hoh..." Zhou Shi exclaimed softly hearing this, "Could you teach me too?"
Xuan Yan shrugged his shoulders "How can I teach you when you are not actually here..."
Zhou Shi sighed heavily "That's right..."
With a chuckle, Xuan Yan stood up "I am leaving, Xiao Shi...."
Zhou Shi nodded "Later, Yan'er!"
...
In the night~
*swish* Xuan Yan appeared near the Sea God mountain and seeing him Shui Mei and Zhu Zhuyun smiled warmly. "Husband!" "Yan!"
Xuan Yan nodded and looked at Zhu Zhuqing cultivating sitting on the stairs "Why is she cultivating at this time?"
Zhu Zhuyun sighed "Since she is the heir of the Sea God, she thinks that she has to put in extra effort and is determined to cultivate quickly."
Shui Mei spoke "I think she feels so responsible and want to get praised by you... maybe...."
Xuan Yan smiled wryly "There is no rush, she could take things slow..." At this time, Shui Mei walked to him wrapping her arms around his neck "I don't want to leave this chance, shall we go out to the nearby city now? Husband?"
Xuan Yan planted a kiss on her lips "Ok..." Shui Mei glanced at Zhu Zhuyun "Zhuyun, if you want you can also join..."
Zhu Zhuyun shook her head "No, Sister Mei... I have to look after Zhuqing here..."
Shui Mei rolled her eyes "I am sure Husband will keep an eye on her...right?"
Chuckling, Xuan Yan patted her head "Yeah!" he spoke as his eyes shone a little. Zhu Zhuyun hesitated for a bit but then she complied "Well, let's go..."
