Facing the scolding and questioning of the group of yellow-clothed Sea Spirit Masters blocking their path.
Tang Chuan smiled slightly, not hiding anything, and said in a clear voice.
"We are land-based Spirit Masters. We have long heard of the great Sea God's prestige and yearn for it. We have come specifically to take the trials, hoping to join Sea God Island and serve the Sea God!"
Seeing that Tang Chuan's attitude was frank and without any concealment.
The leading yellow-clothed captain frowned even tighter upon hearing this. His gaze swept over Tang Chuan, as well as Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other women, a trace of shock and doubt flashing in his eyes.
He had guarded Sea God Island for many years and had seen many land-based Spirit Masters come to take the trials, but this was his first time seeing such a well-organized, extraordinary group, where everyone possessed such impressive cultivation.
"It is a good thing that you revere the greatness of the Sea God and have come to pledge your allegiance!"
The yellow-clothed captain took a deep breath, his voice low and his tone serious as he warned.
"But taking the Sea God's trials is no child's play."
"That is the Sea God's trial for his believers. It is incredibly difficult; a moment of carelessness could lead to death and destruction."
"You had better think it over carefully before answering!"
To this, Tang Chuan's smile remained unchanged. He cupped his hands in a salute, his tone firm.
"We appreciate your good intentions, Senior."
"But since we have already set foot on this island, we have made up our minds. We have no regrets, and we hope you will grant our request, Senior!"
"We hope you will grant our request, Senior!"
Seeing this, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other women behind Tang Chuan also cupped their hands in unison. Their voices were crisp and firm, and there was not a hint of hesitation in their eyes.
Seeing that Tang Chuan and the women had made their decision, the yellow-clothed captain frowned but did not try to persuade them further. Instead, he waved his hand and said to the team members behind him.
"You continue your patrol; I will take them to participate in the trials."
"Yes!"
The remaining yellow-clothed Sea Spirit Masters replied in unison.
Then, they turned and quickly disappeared into the surrounding forest to continue their patrol.
The yellow-clothed captain turned to Tang Chuan and the others and said.
"Since you have already made up your minds, then follow me."
"Whether you can obtain the qualification for the trials will need to be decided by the Holy Pillar Guardian."
After speaking, the yellow-clothed captain turned and walked toward the depths of the island.
Tang Chuan nodded slightly to the women, and the group followed behind the yellow-clothed captain, stepping into the dense tropical rainforest.
The light in the forest was dappled, the air was hot and humid, and the tall trees blocked out the sun. Underfoot was soft, damp soil and thick fallen leaves.
The yellow-clothed captain was clearly very familiar with the path, leading the group through the complex rainforest with quick steps, turning left and right.
Soon, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
A strange pool of water, approximately five hundred meters in diameter, appeared before them.
The pool water was azure blue. There was no wind around, yet the surface of the water moved without wind, as turbulent as the surface of the sea, which was exceptionally strange.
In the center of the pool was a triangular stone platform.
On the platform stood a strange stone pillar ten meters high.
The stone pillar was sea-blue throughout, and the top was carved with a lifelike mermaid figure. The mermaid held a pearl in her hands, her face compassionate, as if gazing at all living things.
And on the edge of the platform by the stone pillar, a figure was sitting cross-legged.
It was a woman wearing a tight-fitting black dress that outlined her graceful and moving curves.
She had long blue hair, curled like ocean waves, draped casually over her shoulders. Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were deep and three-dimensional, carrying a kind of exotic beauty.
The yellow-clothed captain walked quickly to the edge of the pool, bowed respectfully to the blue-haired woman in black, his voice filled with immense reverence.
"Reporting to Lady Sea Witch, nine land-based Spirit Masters have arrived, wishing to take the Sea God's trials. I hope you will grant permission, My Lady!"
The blue-haired woman sitting cross-legged, or rather, Sea Witch Douluo, slowly opened those beautiful sea-blue eyes.
Those beautiful eyes were as clear as the purest seawater, and as her gaze shifted, it carried a touch of curiosity and liveliness, landing on Tang Chuan and the women behind him.
When she saw Tang Chuan's handsome, extraordinary appearance and his outstanding temperament, as well as the eight women including Dugu Yan, each with their own unique features and stunning beauty.
Sea Witch Douluo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a look of great interest.
"Yo!"
"What a good day it is today! Not only are there people coming to take the trials, but such a group of handsome men and beautiful women have arrived! Not bad, really not bad!"
Sea Witch Douluo parted her lips slightly, her voice crisp and melodious, carrying a hint of playfulness, and giggled.
"However, wanting to take the Sea God's trials isn't something you can do just by looking good."
"Do you see this 'Sea Within a Sea'? If you want to obtain the qualification for the trials, you must first rely on your own ability to cross this Sea Within a Sea and reach my Holy Pillar platform!"
After speaking, amidst her giggles, Sea Witch Douluo moved her mind, and the Sea Witch Holy Pillar behind her suddenly lit up!
A dazzling azure blue light rose from the bottom of the Holy Pillar and quickly spread to the top.
Immediately after, the dazzling blue light erupted, turning into a pale blue, semi-transparent light screen in the air, completely covering the entire surface of the Sea Within a Sea and the space above it.
On the light screen, faint patterns of ocean waves flowed, emitting powerful spirit power fluctuations and the aura of a Restriction.
"This blue light should be a Restriction to limit your movements. Who among you will go first?"
Tang Chuan turned and asked the women.
"I'll go first!"
Dugu Yan was already eager to try. Hearing this, she immediately stepped forward, a trace of anticipation and Battle Intent on her stunning face.
In her view, she was Tang Chuan's main wife, the big sister of the harem, so she definitely had to lead the charge.
After speaking, Dugu Yan stepped back slightly, then tapped her toes on the ground, and her whole body, like a purple lightning bolt, instantly rushed toward the Sea Within a Sea covered by the light screen!
"Hum!"
The moment she touched the light screen, it rippled slightly, and an invisible pressure descended.
But as a Spirit Emperor, Dugu Yan had deep spirit power, and her figure only paused slightly before she adapted.
Under the cover of the blue light screen, Dugu Yan continuously released spirit power from her feet, tapping her toes on the water surface like a Fairy walking on waves. After a few leaps, she landed steadily on the triangular platform in the center, turned to look at the shore, and wore a confident smile on her face.
"I'll be next."
Ye Lingling's voice was cold and clear. Although she was not good at combat, her spirit power cultivation was equally strong.
And after her Nine Heart Begonia Spirit evolved into the Nine Heart Fairy Begonia, the healing effect became an inherent ability.
Each spirit ring had derived powerful auxiliary Spirit Abilities, with effects not inferior to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit.
After Ye Lingling cast auxiliary Spirit Abilities on herself, a faint pink glow of the Nine Heart Fairy Begonia appeared around her.
Then, after rushing toward the Sea Within a Sea, Ye Lingling's figure leaped up gracefully, like a willow catkin in the wind. Her toes tapped lightly on the water, and she also nimbly passed through the light screen Restriction, landing beside Dugu Yan.
Immediately after, Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Chenxiang, Huo Wu, and the sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er also used their own methods to successfully pass through the Sea Within a Sea and arrive at the central platform.
Finally, only Tang Chuan and Ning Rongrong were left on the shore.
