The next day, the morning light once again bathed Sea God Island.
Led by a Yellow-clothed Spirit Master specially arranged by Sea Witch Douluo.
Tang Chuan accompanied Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other women as they left Sea Witch City and headed towards the central region of Sea God Island.
Passing through vast swathes of dense tropical rainforest.
About half an hour later, the view suddenly opened up.
A strange scene came into view.
It was a Circular Sea, the water not the usual azure, but a deep, crystalline sapphire blue, shimmering like a giant sapphire ring.
In the center of the Circular Sea was a small island.
A small mountain stood in the middle, and atop the mountain was a great hall carved from white jade, shrouded in a hazy golden halo, making its specific appearance unclear.
One could only feel a vast and majestic aura, one that inspired awe, permeating the air.
In front of the great hall, white jade steps extended downwards.
This was the place for the first trial that Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others had to undergo: Crossing the Seagod's Light.
"Distinguished guests, ahead is the location for the first trial: Crossing the Seagod's Light."
The Yellow-clothed Spirit Master guide introduced respectfully.
"The Seagod's Light is emitted from the Sea God Temple at the top of Sea God Mountain, shrouding the entire Sea God Mountain and the stone steps leading to the summit, possessing a powerful suppressive force."
"You all need to rely on your own strength to climb the steps under the suppression of the Seagod's Light."
"As long as you reach the number of steps required by the first trial, the assessment will be considered passed."
Hearing this, the women looked up and saw a long flight of white jade steps winding upwards from the foot of Sea God Mountain, leading directly to the Sea God Temple standing at the summit, shrouded in golden light.
Above the white jade steps, a faint golden halo hung, which was the Seagod's Light.
Just looking at it from afar, one could feel an invisible pressure.
After crossing the Circular Sea, the women tried to climb the white jade steps under the Seagod's Light, but they were unable to resist its repulsion and were directly sent flying.
For the next three days, Tang Chuan stayed with the women, watching them undergo the first trial: Crossing the Seagod's Light.
Three days passed quickly amidst constant attempts, failures, reflection, and further attempts.
Under the suppression of the Seagod's Light.
Although the women faced immense difficulties climbing the steps.
As they gradually adapted, the number of steps they climbed steadily increased.
Although the process was arduous, their beautiful eyes shone with an unyielding light, gritting their teeth and persevering, wanting to complete the divine trial and receive the rewards.
On the fourth day, in the early morning.
After the women had finished another day of Crossing the Seagod's Light.
"Yan Yan, Lingling, and also Bing'er, Zhuqing, Xiangxiang, Huo Wu, Rongrong, Yue'er..."
Tang Chuan swept his gaze across each of their stunningly beautiful faces—some heroic, some cold, some gentle, some lively—and said.
"Your Sea God first trial: Crossing the Seagod's Light, is not a task for a single day; it requires your long-term persistence."
"You should Cultivate here with peace of mind and look out for each other."
"Coming to the Endless Ocean this time, I still need to hunt for a new spirit ring for my Second Spirit, the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer, so I will take my leave first to attend to my own affairs."
"After half a year, once the selection assembly of the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects is concluded, I will come to find you then."
"Xiao Chuan..."
Dugu Yan stepped forward, held Tang Chuan's hand, her heroic brows filled with reluctance.
Beside her, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, Zhuqing, and the others also had eyes filled with reluctance, their teeth biting their lower lips, their eyes slightly reddening.
"Alright... but when hunting for the spirit ring, you must be careful!"
"Sect Master, we will wait for you!"
"Cousin, you must come to pick us up!"
The women were all full of reluctance, but they could not stop Tang Chuan from doing what he needed to do, so they all said one after another.
"Rest assured, I will return as soon as possible."
"You must also work hard. When I return, I hope to see that you have all made great progress."
Tang Chuan smiled, gripping Dugu Yan's jade hand with one hand and ruffling Bai Chenxiang's hair with the other.
Afterwards, under the teary-eyed, reluctant gazes of the women.
Tang Chuan moved his mind, unfolding his Soul Core Force Field, and activated the flight Spirit Ability of the blue silver emperor right leg bone.
At the same time, a dense blue-purple electric light erupted from his body, and he activated his self-created Spirit Ability, Thunder Flash. The electromagnetic field immediately repelled the geomagnetic field, generating a powerful propulsive force.
"I'm leaving!"
As soon as the words fell.
With a piercing thunderous roar, Tang Chuan's figure instantly transformed into a brilliant blue-purple bolt of lightning, shooting into the sky and tearing through the clouds.
At an astonishing speed, he sped towards the depths of the Endless Ocean.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the azure horizon.
The Endless Ocean was vast and boundless.
Tang Chuan maintained his high-speed flight, with the endless deep blue ocean beneath him.
In the process of flying through the air.
Tang Chuan fully expanded his Blue Silver Domain, the soft blue-gold halo permeating the sea surface below like ripples, sensing the majestic life force within the ocean.
On the other hand, his powerful mental force was also released, like the most precise radar, meticulously scanning every sea area he passed, searching for those powerful Spirit Beast hidden beneath the sea surface.
Regarding the target Spirit Beast for the fifth spirit ring of his Second Spirit, the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer, Tang Chuan's goal was very clear.
That was to require a sea Spirit Beast with a cultivation of at least one hundred thousand years.
Only a spirit ring of this level, containing vast energy, could potentially help him achieve continuous Breakthroughs in a short time, going directly from level 93 to level 95.
Besides this, because the Second Spirit, the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer, currently lacked offensive spirit abilities.
Therefore, Tang Chuan also hoped that the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast he hunted would provide a Spirit Ability that matched the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer and possessed powerful attack effects.
Along the way, Tang Chuan also discovered several target Spirit Beast that met some of his requirements.
Among them, in a dark trench thousands of meters deep, was a Hundred Thousand Year Deep Sea Magic Octopus, coiled like a mountain, its body immensely huge, its tentacles stirring up undercurrents, resembling the legendary Kraken of the North Sea.
Beside an active submarine volcano, a Hundred Thousand Year Deep Sea Dragon Turtle acted like a moving island, its shell covered in thick coral and sediment, exhaling hot geothermal energy; its defensive power was monstrous, but it was slow-moving.
In a sea area where the currents were as sharp as blades, a yacht-sized Hundred Thousand Year Sharp Blade Swordfish was like a silver grim reaper's scythe, shuttling and hunting at terrifying speeds, its snout incomparably sharp, enough to pierce the hardest armor.
These Spirit Beast were undoubtedly the overlords of the ocean, and the spirit ring of any one of them would be enough to drive an ordinary Titled Douluo mad.
But after Tang Chuan carefully perceived them, he frowned slightly.
Because the Deep Sea Magic Octopus leaned towards control and binding, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle had astonishing defensive power, and the Sharp Blade Swordfish represented extreme speed and single-target piercing.
And his Second Spirit, the Gold-Eating Heavenly Gang Hammer, was a heavy Tool Spirit that pursued extreme power, excelled in domineering destruction, and frontal crushing.
The spirit abilities brought by the spirit rings of these three Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast were undoubtedly not a perfect fit.
Tang Chuan was more eager to obtain an offensive Spirit Ability that could greatly enhance his physical fitness, bring explosive destructive power and area-of-effect damage, or have special armor-breaking and shock effects.
