Ye Lengleng and Ning Rongrong were both support system Spirit Masters, so Li Qing directly took them through the obstacle of the waves and onto the Sacred Pillar Platform.
Sea Dragon Douluo didn't say much about this.
Being able to bring people across was also Li Qing's ability, and there was no rule that people couldn't be brought, otherwise, support system Spirit Masters would simply be unable to pass.
The others also didn't have too many major problems.
Even Zhu Zhuqing, who had the lowest spirit power level, successfully reached the platform by virtue of her super high agility.
Sea Dragon Douluo calmed the waves, walked to the Sacred Pillar, and facing it, his eyes revealed a devout light, saying without turning his head, "One person step forward."
Li Qing looked at Ye Lengleng: "You go first."
Knowing that she had a high probability of directly initiating the Seagod Nine Trials, there was no need to save her for last; instead, the unknown outcomes for the others were more worth anticipating.
"Okay."
Ye Lengleng nodded and stood behind Sea Dragon Douluo.
Sea Dragon Douluo slowly raised his hands, his face full of reverence, bringing his hands to his chest, palms facing each other about half a foot apart.
A faint blue glow gathered between them.
Suddenly, the light burst forth, illuminating the entire Sacred Pillar Platform.
Immediately following, a blue light flashed beneath the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, spreading upwards along the Pillar's Texture, reaching the top almost in the blink of an eye.
Sea Dragon Douluo turned to face Ye Lengleng and pointed his right hand towards her body.
A blue beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Ye Lengleng's body; Ye Lengleng, bathed in it, seemed a little dazed and felt no abnormality.
The color of the light beam began to change.
From blue to white, then quickly to yellow, instantly completing the transformation to purple and black, and finally turning into a bloody color, shooting directly to the top of the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar.
"Mmm—."
A buzzing sound like the vast ocean's depths emanated from the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, followed by the bloody light detaching from the Sacred Pillar and soaring into the sky, clearly visible from any corner of Sea God Island.
The Sea within the Sea boiled.
A hundred-meter giant wave rose from the Sea within the Sea, moving vertically upwards, and a strong blue halo erupted from the waves, causing the entire Sea God Island to tremble.
Six similar bloody lights rose from the other Sacred Pillars, and the seven bloody lights converged in the air.
The bloody color receded, and an extremely brilliant golden light descended from their convergence point; everything entered a state of absolute stillness at this moment.
Only that dazzling golden light slowly fell.
Everyone present was stunned, including Li Qing, because this was much more impressive than when he initiated his Samsara Divine Trial, though it was also possible that he simply hadn't seen it at the time.
Dugu Yan and the others were even more speechless.
Even Dugu Bo, as a Title Douluo, had never witnessed such a scene, even though Li Qing had already told them the origin of Sea God Island and the purpose of their journey.
This did not prevent them from being shocked.
Sea Dragon Douluo was equally shocked; he had presided over Sea God's trials for so many years and had never seen a red-level Nine Trials, even the High Priest Bo Saixi had only achieved red-level Eight Trials.
What did a red-level Nine Trials mean?
To be honest, he wasn't clear.
He only knew that the higher the assessment level, the higher the difficulty and the greater the risk, but at the same time, the rewards were also more generous; he just didn't know if the other party could survive the trial.
As the golden light pillar appeared, Ye Lengleng felt as if something within her had been touched.
Nine square golden light screens appeared out of thin air before her, the first screen being the most brilliant, while the other eight appeared relatively dim.
Those lights, like golden meteors, surged into Ye Lingling's glabella.
A massive flood of information and memories poured into Ye Lengleng's mind; the information was very blurry, with only one part being relatively clear and discernible.
On Sea God Mountain.
Bo Saixi gazed at Ye Lengleng's location; although she had long had a premonition, her heart was still somewhat restless the moment Ye Lengleng truly initiated the Seagod Nine Trials.
Even though she greatly revered the Sea God, she still felt a bit unwilling.
If the person who initiated the Seagod Nine Trials was from Sea God Island, she would have accepted it, but it just so happened that the other party was an outsider, a complete stranger.
"Alas!"
Bo Saixi couldn't help but sigh; despite her reluctance, she still flew towards the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar Platform, for this was her responsibility.
Ye Lengleng slowly opened her eyes; a golden Sea God Trident mark appeared on her glabella.
"What a beautiful trident, Leng Leng, at this moment you truly look like a goddess descended to the mortal realm," Ning Rongrong couldn't help but praise when she saw the mark.
Ye Lengleng looked at Li Qing, who nodded, implicitly agreeing with Ning Rongrong's praise.
She already possessed an otherworldly aura, but at this moment, enhanced by the trident imprint, this aura became even stronger, giving her the ethereal feeling of a fairy descending to the mortal world.
Suddenly, everyone simultaneously looked aside, only to see a red dot in the sky continuously enlarging.
As the red dot continued to enlarge, everyone then clearly saw that the person approaching was none other than Bo Saixi, who had just left; her gaze fell upon Ye Lingling.
She remained silent for a long time.
Sea Dragon Douluo bowed and said, "High Priest, this red-level Nine Trials..."
Bo Saixi said, "That's not a red-level Nine Trials, but the Seagod Nine Trials. Even I am seeing it for the first time. Our mission on Sea God Island is to await her appearance."
"Ah?"
Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes were filled with confusion.
Bo Saixi looked at Ye Lengleng: "Young one, I have waited for over a hundred years, and finally, in my twilight years, I have seen you. Can you tell me your name?"
"This junior is Ye Lengleng," Ye Lengleng bowed.
However, what she didn't expect was that Bo Saixi flashed to her side, not accepting her courtesy.
Bo Saixi said, "Ye Lengleng, remember this: from now on, you are the most revered person on Sea God Island. No one can accept your courtesy, including me."
"Ah?"
Ye Lingling was a little confused.
Bo Saixi looked at Sea Dragon Douluo: "Pass on my order: before these individuals complete the Sea God's trials, they are to be considered honored guests of this island. No one is to treat them lightly."
"Yes!"
Although Sea Dragon Douluo had many questions in his heart, he didn't ask more and honestly agreed.
"If you need anything, you can ask him."
Bo Saixi looked at Ye Lengleng and said the next sentence, then left, as if she had only come to make a brief appearance.
"Who's next?"
After Bo Saixi's figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Sea Dragon Douluo spoke again.
"I'll go!"
Ning Rongrong eagerly stepped forward, greatly anticipating her upcoming assessment level.
As expected, she initiated the red-level Eight Trials, second only to the Divine Skill Nine Trials, just like in the original work. However, she didn't feel disheartened by this.
Because Li Qing had told her when they arrived that no one should be able to surpass Leng Leng, not even himself.
