Led by Xiaobai, Dongfang Jing and Biji braved the wind and waves, rapidly returning towards Seagod Island.
As they drew closer, the island's outline gradually became clearer.
However, just as they were about to reach the shore, Xiaobai's pace slowed down.
She gazed at the coastline ahead, a look of bewilderment in her eyes.
On the beach, there stood two figures, a man and a woman.
Xiaobai knows both of these people.
The man was none other than the leader of the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians of Seagod Island, the Sea Dragon Douluo!
And the woman beside him... was actually the High Priestess!
Xiao Bai braked suddenly and stopped on the shore.
"High Priest? How could you...?"
On the shore, a beautiful white-haired woman dressed in a magnificent red gown and holding a golden scepter wore a gentle smile.
Her gaze passed over Xiaobai and landed directly on Dongfang Jing.
"Young man, your divine test seems to be going very well."
Her voice, as gentle as water yet possessing a strange, penetrating quality, clearly reached Dongfang Jing's ears.
Dongfang Jing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He blinked and whispered to Xiaobai beside him, "Who is this? How did she know I was taking the divine test?"
Xiao Bai quickly introduced in a low voice, "Benefactor, this is our High Priest of Seagod Island, the spokesperson of the Seagod, Lord Poseidon, level ninety-nine!"
Limit Douluo?!
Upon hearing this title, Dongfang Jing instinctively felt a sense of unease.
Her sudden appearance here, and her revelation that she was undergoing a divine test, makes one ponder her intentions.
However, he remained outwardly calm, simply bowing respectfully to Poseidon from afar.
"Junior Dongfang Jing greets Senior Poseidon."
Poseidon's gaze shifted from the Eastern Mirror to Brigitte beside him.
The moment she saw Brigitte, even with her composure and knowledge, a hint of surprise flashed in her deep, ocean-like eyes.
That's really strange.
It seems... the other party has become even more mysterious and unfathomable compared to when they landed on Seagod Island a few days ago.
However, Poseidon did not show any unusual expression on his face. He simply smiled and nodded, which was his way of responding to Dongfang Jing's greeting.
"No need for formalities." She spoke slowly. "I roughly know your purpose in coming to my Seagod Island. Come with me."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to take Dongfang Jing to the island.
"Please wait, senior."
Dongfang Jing suddenly spoke up and called out to her.
Poseidon stopped, turned around, and looked at him calmly.
"How did you find out, senior?" Dongfang Jing's eyes were filled with vigilance.
They had only just made the decision, so how did the other party find out?
Despite Dongfang Jing's questioning, Poseidon's face still wore that gentle smile.
"I am merely following the will of the Sea God."
...
Led by Poseidon, Dongfang Jing and Brigitte walked through the dense forest and soon arrived at the nearest huge holy pillar.
At the top of the sacred pillar is a lifelike, giant seahorse.
In front of the sacred pillar, a middle-aged man with a gentle face, dressed in a black robe, sat quietly cross-legged.
Seemingly sensing someone's arrival, he slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw Poseidon walking at the front, a respectful expression immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly stood up to greet him.
"Great Master, how could you...?"
He was just about to bow, and had only spoken halfway, when he caught sight of the Sea Dragon Douluo following behind Poseidon.
The face of Haima Douluo Eurasia was filled with bewilderment.
What's going on?
Lord Poseidon and Sea Dragon, why did you come here without saying a word?
Just as he was completely bewildered, the Sea Dragon Douluo appeared beside him in a flash, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Don't ask so many questions, say less and observe more."
Although Seahorse Douluo was filled with doubts, he knew that things were not simple, so he nodded, wisely shut his mouth, and retreated to the side with Sea Dragon Douluo.
Poseidon ignored the two of them and led the Eastern Mirror and Brigitte to the Seahorse Pillar.
The golden scepter in her hand tapped lightly on the ground.
"Buzz—"
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light burst forth from the top of the scepter.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of light appeared beneath the Seahorse Pillar, and a blue halo rapidly spread upwards along the patterns carved on the pillar.
In the blink of an eye, the blue light had already climbed to the top of the sacred pillar.
The entire Seahorse Pillar was enveloped in a soft blue light.
Just as Poseidon was about to point his scepter at the Eastern Mirror.
Dongfang Jing spoke again.
"Please wait a moment, senior."
Poseidon paused, turned her head, and looked at him patiently.
Dongfang Jing asked with a serious expression, "I mean, if I get an unexpectedly good result later, am I obligated to stay on Seagod Island and worship the Seagod?"
Poseidon said softly, "If it were anyone else, they would stay on Seagod Island. But, in accordance with the will of the Seagod, you are an exception."
Immediately afterwards, Poseidon's scepter pointed at the Eastern Mirror.
The blue light at the top of the scepter transformed into a beam of light, shooting towards the Eastern Mirror.
At the same time, an even thicker blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Dongfang Jing's entire body.
Bathed in the blue beam of light, Dongfang Jing carefully sensed it.
Well... I didn't feel anything special.
However, in the next moment, the color of the beam of light began to change!
It changed from blue to white, and then quickly changed from white to yellow, purple, and black!
Finally, there's red, which represents the highest level of assessment!
Upon seeing the dazzling red pillar of light, Sea Dragon Douluo, Seahorse Douluo, and Little White, who was watching from the distant sea, were all too shocked to speak!
Top-level assessment!
This...this is actually the top-level assessment!
It's worth noting that the last time a top-level assessment was conducted was by Poseidon himself!
However, things are clearly not over yet for Dongfang Jing!
"Buzz—!!!"
A humming sound, like the sobbing of the ocean, suddenly rang out from the Seahorse Pillar!
Immediately afterwards, the red beam of light changed again!
A massive pillar of crimson light shot into the sky.
The entire sky was dyed blood red!
The sea within the sea is boiling!
At that moment, the entire sea within the sea suddenly surged with towering waves hundreds of meters high, rising vertically upwards!
A powerful burst of blue light erupted from within the giant waves!
The entire Poseidon Island seemed to tremble violently as the crimson pillar of light shot into the sky from the Seahorse Sacred Pillar!
In the other six directions of Poseidon Island, six equally enormous pillars of blood-red light shot into the sky!
Seven beams of light converged at a single point in the sky!
The next moment, the blood faded!
From the point where they converged, a brilliant golden light descended from the sky!
And the destination of this golden light is the Eastern Mirror under the Seahorse Sacred Pillar!
