Xiao Bai gave a silly giggle, while Anna took the initiative to introduce herself properly.
"Senior Xiao Bai, my name is Anna."
"No, no, no, don't you dare call me Senior!" Xiao Bai waved her hands repeatedly in refusal. She then revealed a soft, beautiful smile and explained, "Little sister, you are now Lord Seagod's successor. There is no need to call me Senior; you can just call me by my name."
Pausing for a moment, Xiao Bai's beautiful eyes swirled with mischief, and a sly grin appeared on her face. "But if you don't mind, you can call me Big Sister Xiao Bai. Hee hee, Lord Seagod likes me very much, so I'm sure he won't mind. Besides, I am much older than you."
"Okay, Big Sister Xiao Bai!" Anna called out sweetly.
Then, Xiao Bai suddenly revealed her true form. Shrouded in a burst of radiant, multicolored light, she abruptly transformed into the King of the Demon Spirit Great White Sharks—a colossal shark of immense proportions.
"Nana, and the rest of you, get on. I will take you to Seagod Island to meet the High Priestess so she can initiate your trials."
"Then we thank you, Senior Xiao Bai!" Davis said lightly. Just because Anna could call her 'Sister' didn't mean Davis and the others could presume such intimacy, though they didn't particularly care about titles.
Seizing the time to reap the benefits of Seagod Island was the only matter of importance.
"Let's go."
Davis retracted his wings and landed on Xiao Bai's back. Simultaneously, Zhu Zhuyun and the other three women leaped from the ship onto Xiao Bai's broad back, and together they set off for Seagod Island.
After landing on Seagod Island, under Xiao Bai's lead, the group traveled without any obstruction. Upon seeing Xiao Bai, the island's guards stepped aside one after another; not a single person dared to block their path.
Finally, guided by Xiao Bai, they arrived at a towering, majestic palace. Its splendor was in no way inferior to the Star Luo Imperial Palace, and compared to the Supreme Pontiff's Palace of the Spirit Hall, it was only slightly less imposing.
Gazing at the great hall standing before them, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with curiosity.
At this moment, Xiao Bai performed a graceful curtsy and laughed charmingly. "Welcome, everyone, to our Seagod Temple!"
"The Seagod Temple! It's so beautiful here!" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but let her eyes light up as she admired the scenery before her, lingering as if she never wanted to leave.
"It is indeed beautiful!" Tang Yuehua nodded slightly. As someone who was well-traveled and knowledgeable—and formerly a teacher at an etiquette academy—seeing the Seagod Temple triggered her professional instincts, and she began to critique it.
"Although the palace is constructed from a material resembling granite, which might seem somewhat abrupt and monotonous on its own, when combined with the exotic flowers and rare plants surrounding it, as well as the beautiful scenery of blue skies and white clouds, it actually complements the environment perfectly.
It transforms a hall that might otherwise look dull and boring into an extremely beautiful painting. The person who built this palace must have been a master artist proficient in landscaping. Furthermore..."
Seeing that Tang Yuehua was about to go on and on, Davis couldn't help but smile. He patted her fragrant shoulder and chuckled, "Alright, Sister Yuehua, we need to go in. Let's not turn this into a public critique session..."
"Ah! You're right..." Realizing what she was doing, Tang Yuehua laughed at herself and stuck out her little tongue playfully.
"We should head inside!"
With that said, led by Xiao Bai, the group slowly walked into the Seagod Temple. The moment they entered the palace, Davis opened his Ice Fire Evil Eyes, observing the surroundings.
Although he didn't spot anything specific, he felt an invisible yet extremely oppressive soul pressure permeating the air, enveloping everything in a sense of heaviness.
The feeling was akin to reading a suspense story; reading it casually might be fine, but once you started thinking deeply about the details, a cold, extreme fear would begin to spread from the bottom of your heart.
Zhu Zhuyun and the others were completely unaware of anything amiss, but Davis could clearly detect the majestic soul pressure filling the space.
Fortunately, this pressure bore no malice toward them. They successfully walked into the main hall and arrived before Bo Saixi.
Gazing at the peerless beauty seated upon the throne, Davis's expression instantly became spirited, his eyes flashing with strange colors.
She was a tall, hot beauty, standing a full 1.8 meters tall—only slightly shorter than Davis. Her entire body was shrouded in a crimson robe, and her long, silver-gray hair was draped loosely behind her, cascading down almost to the ground.
Her gentle, beautiful face looked exceptionally young, appearing to be only in her early thirties. To put it bluntly, even Tang Yuehua looked slightly older than her.
In her right hand, she tightly gripped a golden scepter that was three meters long. Atop the scepter sat a reddish-purple, diamond-shaped crystal.
The moment he saw this woman, Davis knew her identity. She was the High Priestess of Seagod Island, a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, the Seagod Douluo—Bo Saixi.
She was also a woman with a bitter fate. Although her life experiences were pitiable, Davis had no intention of changing anything.
"Greetings, High Priestess!" Xiao Bai knelt on one knee, bowing respectfully to Bo Saixi, and explained the purpose of Davis and his group's visit.
"Lord Seagod's successor..."
Hearing this, Bo Saixi instantly revealed an expression that was both astonished and complex. she hurriedly turned her head to look at Anna. Her expression could be described as five parts shock, two and a half parts joy, and two and a half parts sorrow.
The joy came from the fact that the Seagod finally had a successor. The sorrow, however, stemmed from the realization that she might never see her beloved again.
Seeing Bo Saixi looking at her, Anna activated the Vast Sea Cosmos Shroud, radiating the Seagod's aura to prove that Xiao Bai's words were true.
"The aura of the Seagod. Little girl, you really are the Seagod's successor!" Bo Saixi's eyes widened. Upon confirming Anna's age and cultivation level, the astonishment in her heart became indescribable.
"Your natural talent is even better than mine. If it is you, you will certainly be able to trigger the Seagod Nine Trials."
"Seagod Nine Trials?" Anna was startled. Having encountered so many strange things, she was no longer a naive, sweet girl. Realizing this matter concerned whether she could inherit the Seagod's power, she hurriedly asked, "Senior, are you saying that as long as I complete these Seagod Nine Trials, I can inherit Lord Seagod's power?"
"Hehe, little girl, you are very smart!" Bo Saixi smiled, then said, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am the High Priestess of Seagod Island, Bo Saixi, a level ninety-nine Seagod Douluo!"
"Ni... Ninety-nine!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Davis—who already knew Bo Saixi's strength—stood dumbfounded as wooden chickens. Even Tang Yuehua was no exception.
She came from the Clear Sky Clan and had married into the Star Luo Empire; the number of Titled Douluo she had seen exceeded the fingers on two hands. Let alone ordinary Titled Douluo, she had even seen quite a few Super Douluo.
But a Peerless Douluo... As far as she knew, only her grandfather, Tang Chen, had reached that level. Now learning that Bo Saixi was also a Peerless Douluo, how could she not be shocked?
"A Peerless Douluo... I didn't expect that besides my grandfather and the Grand Worshipper of the Spirit Hall, there would be a third Peerless Douluo in this world!"
"Hm?"
Tang Yuehua's words caught Bo Saixi's attention. Scrutinizing her face, Bo Saixi actually felt a trace of familiarity and couldn't help but ask:
"Young lady, who is your grandfather?"
