Douluo Continent: I was exposed by the Heavenly Ranking after creating the Holy Court.

Chapter 90: The Map of the Abyss!

The arrival of Lord Jiang and this senior from afar truly brings honor to my humble abode, Seagod Island.

Poseidon's voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority. He nodded slightly to the two of them, saying, "I have been waiting here for quite some time."

Seeing this, Jiang Che stopped and returned the greeting with a cupped hand: "It is an honor to have the Grand Elder personally greet me."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly in response.

Her gaze lingered briefly on Poseidon, while she thought to herself, "As expected of the High Priestess of Seagod Island, her cultivation is truly profound. I'm afraid even the current Deep Sea Demon Whale King wouldn't be a match for her..."

Poseidon also sensed the special nature of Gu Yuena's soul power. She withdrew her gaze, slightly parted her thin lips, and stepped aside to lead the way, saying, "Holy Lord and this senior have had a long journey. Please enter the hall first."

Saying,

She turned and walked towards the Sea God's Temple first, followed closely by the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo. Jiang Che and Gu Yuena followed together.
When they reached the steps of the Sea God's Temple, both the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo and Bai Xiuxiu stopped in their tracks.

They were not allowed to enter without Poseidon's permission.

The moment you step into the Temple of Poseidon, a powerful and sacred aura washes over you.

The pearls and gemstones inlaid on the dome of the main hall emitted a soft glow, making the entire hall appear solemn and dignified.

Directly ahead, a colossal throne of the sea god stood majestically.

The throne appears to be carved from millennia-old ice, covered with intricate wave patterns, and exudes a faint chill.

This throne is a frozen throne carved from the reward bestowed upon the Sea God Temple by the Heavenly Ranking when it descended to earth—the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow!
On the open ground in front of the throne, two divine weapons stood silently, drawing Jiang Che's attention.

On the left is a trident that is entirely black, with slender blades on both sides and a central main blade that is two feet long and about half a foot wide, resembling a heavy longsword. It is the trident of the sea god, the inherited artifact of the sea god.

Although it did not release any aura, one could still feel its supreme majesty that suppressed the four seas.

It was as if a mere swing of the trident could unleash a colossal wave.

Beside the trident stood another divine weapon, forged entirely from deep-sea iron. Its barrel was covered in golden runes, like overlapping fish scales, and its muzzle resembled the fangs of a giant beast, radiating a chilling metallic aura.
This divine weapon is none other than the Sea Dragon Cannon, a divine artifact bestowed upon the Sea God Temple by the Heavenly Ranking.

This cannon requires the ultimate soul power or divinity as a catalyst, gathering the power of the ocean. A single shot can annihilate everything, and even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand its sharpness. It can be called the ultimate divine weapon of the ocean.

Gu Yuena's gaze fell on the Sea Dragon Cannon, and she murmured, "This is the Sea Dragon Cannon, a divine weapon on the Heavenly Ranking."

Poseidon took a deep look at the Sea Dragon Cannon and said with some emotion, "Not bad, but my Sea God Temple only has these two divine weapons, which are naturally incomparable to the divine weapons in the hands of the Holy Lord."

Jiang Che smiled slightly and said to Poseidon, "You flatter me, High Priest. With these two divine artifacts and the power of Seagod Island, we can protect the Ten Directions Azure Waves."

Upon hearing this, Poseidon couldn't help but sigh, a hint of bitterness in his voice, and said, "If the Deep Sea Demon Whale King hadn't obtained the divine inheritance, and the Abyss hadn't invaded, we could indeed..."

Passing through the main hall,

Poseidon led the two into a side hall.

The side hall was simply furnished, with a smooth blue flagstone floor and several rustic stone chairs placed against the wall.
The stone bench is covered with the marks of time, yet its surface is surrounded by a layer of flowing blue water.

The hall was sparsely decorated, except for a pot of fragrant sea cucumber herbs placed in the corner, which added a touch of elegance.

The three took their seats, with Poseidon in the main seat.

She looked directly at Jiang Che and spoke first, getting straight to the point: "I presume you two have come here for the matter of the Abyss and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?" Meeting Poseidon's gaze, Jiang Che nodded solemnly: "That's right. According to the ancient records of my Holy Court, the essence of the Abyss plane is devouring, and they have long coveted the energy of the Douluo Continent plane."

"Now the Abyss Saint King has reached a cooperation agreement with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The former provides the power of the abyss to greatly increase his soul power, while the latter leads the Deep Sea Demon Whale clan as the vanguard, plunging the continent into chaos, awaiting the arrival of the Abyss Saint King."

Gu Yuena crossed her arms and echoed, "At that time, the fate of the continent is predictable..."

Poseidon: "..."

Jiang Che continued, "The reason I have come here today is to represent the Heavenly Ranking Holy Court and various forces on the continent, to form an alliance with Seagod Island to jointly defend against the enemy."

Although his tone was sincere, he deliberately concealed another purpose: to save Poseidon's life.

It's too early to bring this up now, after all, Bai Xiuxiu's eighth test hasn't even started yet, there's still plenty of time.
It's better to propose cooperation now, since it's not too late to communicate with the Sea God when the ninth trial is almost over.

Upon hearing this, Poseidon extended her fingertips and gently tapped the armrest of the stone chair.

After a moment's thought, she said with certainty, "Seagod Island is part of the mainland, and it is our duty to protect the peace of the mainland. There is no reason for us to refuse. Besides, Bai Xiuxiu's eighth trial task is to kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. This is a matter of public and private responsibility that we cannot shirk."

She paused slightly, a hint of concern flashing across her eyes, before continuing, "However, the Spirit Hall on the mainland and my Seagod Island have a long-standing relationship. If the parties' ideologies clash, internal strife may ensue."

The Angel God and the Sea God have been at odds for a long time. Before the Heavenly Ranking was revealed, both forces hated each other and wanted to completely wipe them out.

Even with external enemies, Poseidon still considered this point.

"Rest assured, High Priest, the continent's forces are now unified. The Martial Soul Empire was established precisely to face the Abyss, and there will be no chance of it stabbing us in the back."

Jiang Che shook his head slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He then spoke, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty, saying, "The Spirit Hall is now considered to be under the command of my Holy Court. My words represent the will of the Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's expression shifted slightly, and most of his concerns vanished instantly.

With the Holy Court's Lord's golden words, she had no reason to refuse.

After a moment of contemplation, Poseidon nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I, Poseidon Island, will not say anything more and will leave everything to the Holy Lord's decision."

"it is good."

With the cooperation settled, the three of them left the Sea God Temple together.

Seeing Jiang Che come out,

Bai Xiuxiu and the Seven Saints Douluo both stood up straight, their gazes occasionally sweeping over Jiang Che and Gu Yuena.

Poseidon glanced into the distance and said to Jiang Che and Gu Yuena, "Since you two have come from afar, why don't you stay on Poseidon Island for a while? This will allow you to familiarize yourself with the island's environment and see how Poseidon Island differs from the mainland."

"We'll discuss this further once we've ascertained the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's movements."

The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Che said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. Then I'll trouble you."
