Chapter 183: The Six Desires
The next day, at the Sea God Temple.
The hall was dim, with several figures vaguely visible; it was Su Mo and the others.
"Sister Xi Xi, you can do it! You definitely can!" Ah Yin clenched her fists and encouraged her with a smile.
"Mm." Bo Saixi nodded heavily.
Su Mo cautioned, "Xi Xi, you must remember, after the trial begins, no matter what you see or hear, do not believe it easily."
"Mm, I've remembered it."
Su Mo nodded slightly. "Then let's begin."
Bo Saixi began to contact the Sea God.
Before long, a streak of golden light suddenly burst forth from the Void Realm, like the dawn piercing the darkness, instantly illuminating the entire Sea God Temple.
Immediately following, a massive phantom condensed into shape, and an imposing, vast aura permeated the air, causing one to involuntarily feel a sense of awe.
"Lord Sea God." Bo Saixi bowed in salute.
"Bo Saixi, are you ready?" The Sea God's voice was calm and majestic.
"I am ready."
"Then let us begin."
Bo Saixi walked up to the high platform where the Sea God Trident had once been plunged.
The Sea God's phantom pointed through the air, and crimson-gold flames suddenly ignited in the Void Realm.
Immediately after, a gate of light burning with flames appeared before Bo Saixi.
This was the Legacy gate for the Ninth Trial of the Sea God.
It originally required the High Priestess to sacrifice herself to open it, but at this moment, the Sea God personally took action, using his own divine force to directly open this gate leading to the God Position.
Bo Saixi took a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination, and stepped into that flaming gate of light.
In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from the high platform.
Light and shadow swirled.
Bo Saixi was now in a vast blue underwater World.
Her figure continued to sink until a towering palace came into view.
That palace was situated at the deepest part of the seabed, at least two hundred meters high, and over a thousand meters in length and width.
It was entirely deep blue, and its body was surrounded by a layer of faint golden light, enveloping the entire palace and completely isolating it from the seawater.
Bo Saixi quickly dived to the edge of the light shield.
Relying on the Sea God's Heart, she passed through the light shield very smoothly and landed lightly in front of the palace.
She looked up, and two thick, heavy doors stood before her.
Suddenly, with a rumble, the two heavy doors opened automatically.
Bo Saixi did not hesitate at all and stepped into the Sea God Temple.
The dome inside the hall was extremely high, and at the end of the hall, there was a huge throne.
Seated upon the throne was the Sea God, Poseidon.
"Bo Saixi greets Lord Sea God."
Bo Saixi came to the center of the hall and bowed in salute.
"Rise," Poseidon said calmly. "Bo Saixi, the process of inheriting divine force is extremely painful and requires immense perseverance.
In addition, I must remind you that your Legacy is divided into six parts. You must remember, no matter what kind of pain or temptation you experience, you must hold fast to your original intent and not be swayed."
Normally, this reminder from Poseidon would already be considered a violation.
However, Bo Saixi's ability to obtain the Gods Trial was inherently related to the Asura God. With the Asura God present, Poseidon was not at all worried about accountability from the God Realm Committee.
"Many thanks to Lord Sea God for the reminder."
The Sea God said no more.
In an instant, the hall was filled with brilliant light, and the scene before her eyes suddenly changed.
When she could see her surroundings clearly again, she was already on a golden circular platform.
Around the platform, six smaller circular platforms were floating.
Suddenly, one of the small circular platforms flew directly in front of Bo Saixi.
"Ah—!"
A sharp pain struck instantly, and Bo Saixi cried out in pain.
At this moment, her right arm Soul Bone was being forcibly stripped away by an invisible force.
Since the Soul Bone had long since merged with her, forcibly stripping it away was no different from pulling out tendons and peeling bones. This kind of pain was something an ordinary person could not endure.
At this time, the stripped-away right arm bone flew toward that small circular platform.
The circular platform immediately lit up with golden light and began to transform the Soul Bone.
This was the process of the Ninth Trial.
The six circular platforms corresponded to six trials, namely the Six Desires among the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Each stage would strip away one of Bo Saixi's Soul Bones.
After enduring the pain of bone-stripping, there would be a trial corresponding to the desire.
Only by passing all of them could she truly step into the Divine Rank.
However, compared to Tang San's Seven Emotions trial, Bo Saixi's Six Desires trial was much simpler.
After all, she only had six Soul Bones and no External Soul Bone.
Secondly, her Sea God's Heart was intact.
And just as the Soul Bone began its transformation, the scene before Bo Saixi suddenly changed.
The first stage was the desire of the eyes among the Six Desires.
Bo Saixi found herself standing in a treasury of brilliant golden light.
Before her eyes were mountains of gold, silver, and jewels.
As long as she reached out, all of this would be hers.
However, Bo Saixi only looked at all of this calmly, her gaze as calm as water.
She had held the position of High Priestess of Sea God Island for many years, ruling over a region, and was not lacking in these things at all.
Before long, the treasury before her shattered with a boom, turning into countless golden light spots and dissipating.
"Ah!" Bo Saixi let out another cry of pain.
Her left arm bone was stripped away and flew toward the second circular platform.
The second stage tested the desire of the ears.
The scene before her changed again.
This time, she was on Sea God Island, and many familiar faces appeared around her.
They surrounded her in the center, offering every possible word of praise.
Every sentence was gentle and pleasant, without a single bad word, only praise and flattery.
Bo Saixi listened quietly, her expression indifferent.
She had been in a high position for many years, and there was never a lack of sycophants around her.
But she knew deeply that no matter how pleasant words of flattery were, they were merely wind passing by the ears.
Her heart was like still water, and the illusion shattered again.
As time passed, the subsequent trials followed one after another.
First were the desire of the nose and the desire of the tongue; these two stages were not difficult for Bo Saixi.
Secondly, the fifth stage was the desire of the body.
This stage was not about lust, but rather the instinctive greed for ease and the longing for ultimate comfort.
However, this stage was also not difficult for Bo Saixi, and she passed it easily.
Just then, Bo Saixi let out a scream of agony, more painful than any before.
Her head Soul Bone was suddenly stripped away!
That pain far exceeded all previous ones, as if her entire Soul was being extracted from her physical shell.
Bo Saixi's consciousness briefly plunged into darkness amidst the excruciating pain, only to be reawakened by a force.
The final stage, the desire of the mind.
This was also the most difficult stage among the Six Desires.
The desire of the mind was not simple mental desire, but the most secret and real longing deep within the heart.
Bo Saixi saw the scene before her eyes change again.
This time, she stood upon a mountain peak.
The mountain wind howled, the sea of clouds churned, and the afterglow of the setting sun burned the horizon into a magnificent orange-red.
Bo Saixi's pupils constricted suddenly.
She was incomparably familiar with this place.
This place was precisely where she and Su Mo had officially established their relationship.
Suddenly, Su Mo's figure appeared directly in front of Bo Saixi.
