Chapter 26: Sea God Inheritance? Useless to Me

"So it's this guy."

At this moment, Shenhai Mojing Wang was engaged in a fierce battle with a woman wearing blue robes; the collision of their powers stirred up monstrous waves, and the entire sea area was trembling.

"That woman... is she the High Priestess of Sea God Island?" Zhexian pondered inwardly; having just heard their conversation, it seemed this place was indeed Sea God Island.

His gaze lingered on Poseixi for a moment, then shifted to Shenhai Mojing Wang.

He was in no rush to intervene, instead quietly concealing his aura, and like a falling flower petal, he slipped into Sea God Island without a sound.

On Sea God Island, a dense aura of laws rushed toward him, as if every inch of land contained endless power.

Zhexian felt this law, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He followed the laws toward the center of the island, where the laws were at their most concentrated.

At the center of the island, a towering palace stood on high ground; in front of the palace was a staircase consisting of thousands of steps, each one emitting a faint glow, as if it were a path leading to the God Realm.

Zhexian stood before the stairs, looked up at the palace, and a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.

He took his first step, and the moment he stepped onto the stairs, an invisible pressure descended suddenly, as if countless eyes were watching him, attempting to force him back.

"It hasn't changed, at least."

Zhexian shook his head and smiled faintly; no matter which world he was in, this kind of trial was truly monotonous.

Thus, Zhexian's expression remained unchanged, his footsteps steady, climbing upward step by step.

As he continued upward, the light on the steps grew more dazzling, and the aura of the laws grew increasingly dense.

When he stepped onto the final step, the entire palace suddenly erupted with brilliant light, clouds churned in the sky, and a massive pillar of light descended from the heavens, striking straight at the top of the palace.

"This is... resonance of laws?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhexian's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.

He looked straight up at the sky, where it seemed a gaze was meeting his own...

At the same time, outside Sea God Island, the High Priestess, who was still battling Shenhai Mojing Wang, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Someone had invaded Haishen Dian!

But Shenhai Mojing Wang had been entangling her, and she could not break away at all.

"Seven Sacred Pillars, take heed: head to Haishen Dian and capture the foreign intruder!"

While fighting, the High Priestess sent a message to the seven guardians of the Sea God Pillars.

Her command was instantly received by the seven Sea God Pillar guardians of Sea God Island; their hearts all tightened, and they immediately flew together toward the direction of Haishen Dian.

In front of Haishen Dian.

Zhexian naturally sensed that seven auras were rushing toward this place.

He ignored them and stepped forward, setting foot on the floor of Haishen Dian.

Inside the hall.

A golden trident was inserted straight into a giant stone, its body imbued with laws.

Zhexian stood inside Haishen Dian, his gaze fixed on the golden trident inserted into the giant stone.

The trident's body emitted a brilliant golden light, surrounded by a dense power of laws, as if guarding this divine artifact of the Sea God.

"Sea God Trident..." Zhexian whispered softly, a trace of indifference in his eyes.

He slowly raised his hand, a wisp of pure Immortal Qi condensing in his palm; the Immortal Qi coiled around his fingertips like flowing water, and then, with a light wave, the Immortal Qi drifted toward the trident.

The moment the Immortal Qi made contact with the power of laws surrounding the trident, it was as if ice and snow had met scorching sunlight; the power of laws began to dissolve rapidly.

Those law barriers, which had originally been indestructible, gradually disintegrated under the erosion of the Immortal Qi.

Zhexian's expression was indifferent, as if all of this were within his expectations. He lifted his hand slightly, his five fingers spread, aimed his palm at the handle of the trident, and gripped it slightly.

"Rise."

Following his low shout, the golden trident emitted a low hum, its body trembled slightly, and then it slowly detached from the giant stone.

As the trident was pulled out, the entire Haishen Dian began to shake violently, as if heaven and earth were trembling because of it.

"Boom—!"

A brilliant golden light erupted from the trident, shooting straight into the sky, instantly shrouding the entire Sea God Island.

Wherever the golden light passed, the sea surged and the clouds in the sky were torn apart, as if even heaven and earth had changed color.

Everyone on Sea God Island was shocked by this sudden phenomenon and looked up toward the direction of Haishen Dian one after another.

"What happened?!"

"That is... the aura of the Sea God Trident?!"

"Someone has pulled out the Sea God Trident?!"

The members of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan exclaimed in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief. Shenhai Mojing Wang also stopped his attack, his massive body suspended on the surface of the sea, his gaze fixed solemnly in the direction of Haishen Dian.

"The Sea God's aura?" A trace of wariness flashed in Shenhai Mojing Wang's eyes, and then he let out a low roar, "Poseixi, you dare to trick this king?!"

After saying this, Shenhai Mojing Wang swam toward the depths of the ocean without looking back.

Poseixi did not pay any attention to Shenhai Mojing Wang; her figure flashed, turning into a blue streak of light, and she flew rapidly toward the direction of Haishen Dian.

At the same time, the seven Sea God Pillar guardians had also arrived outside Haishen Dian. They felt that golden light shooting into the sky, and their hearts sank instantly.

Is there a successor for Lord Sea God?

But Lord Sea God had never issued a trial!

Not long after, the High Priestess Poseixi arrived at the entrance of Haishen Dian.

"High Priestess!"

"High Priestess!"

"High Priestess!"

The seven spoke, wanting to explain, but were interrupted by Poseixi.

"Let us enter."

Not a shred of emotion could be heard in her voice.

The eight of them quickly walked into Haishen Dian, yet the moment they stepped inside the hall, they saw a man in white robes standing in the center of the hall, holding a Golden Trident with a calm expression.

The moment Poseixi stepped into Haishen Dian, her gaze fell upon the man in white robes holding the Golden Trident.

She felt the dense Sea God aura emanating from the trident, her heart gave a sudden jolt, and a complex look flashed through her eyes.

"The Sea God Trident... he actually pulled it out?" Poseixi thought to herself, and her gaze immediately became respectful.

She lowered her head slightly, crossed her hands over her chest, and performed the highest-ranking etiquette of Sea God Island.

"High Priestess of Sea God Island, Poseixi, pays respects to the Sea God successor." Her voice was cold and respectful, with a hint of undisguised excitement in her tone.

Behind her, the seven Sea God Pillar Guardians also bowed in succession, saying in unison: "Pay respects to the Sea God successor!"

Their voices echoed within Haishen Dian, carrying incomparable piety and awe.

In their view, anyone capable of pulling out the Sea God Trident must be the successor personally chosen by Lord Sea God, who would inherit the Sea God's divine position in the future and rule over the entire sea.

However, Zhexian merely glanced at them indifferently, his eyes showing not the slightest ripple.

He gently stroked the Golden Trident in his hand, feeling the Divine Substance flowing across the body of the trident, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly into a faint arc.

"Sea God inheritance?" Zhexian's voice was calm and indifferent, as if he were speaking of an insignificant matter, "Useless to me."
