One, three, three, four... Finally, seven spirit rings appeared beneath Ye Feng's feet. All seven were golden spirit rings with a lifespan of a million years.
"Unparalleled in the ages!"
Those four words of the highest praise came from Bo Sanxi's own mouth.
Ye Feng had such extraordinary talent—possessing a three-life martial spirit and more than ten million-year spirit rings. Such a spirit master could truly be called one of a kind in all of history.
When Ye Feng opened his eyes, Bo Sanxi had already left.
Ye Feng stood up from the ground, summoning the Eye of Hell, Nine Hearts Mysterious Tang, and Xuanyuan Sword Martial Spirit in turn, admiring the fruits of his achievements.
Buffett once said that if you enter the stock market without knowing how to be patient, you're guaranteed to suffer heavy losses.
Ye Feng wanted to say this: if one doesn't cultivate with patience, they're destined to never become truly powerful.
"Three years!"
Ye Feng sighed inwardly. "It's been more than three years since I reached Rank 70. For the past three years, I endured the loneliness and resisted the impulse to obtain the seventh spirit ring right away. I did it to condense a ring through cultivation after refining my body with the tide. Ha... After all this effort, I finally got fourteen million-year spirit rings."
Fourteen spirit rings. All with a million-year lifespan.
Spirit rings enhance a person's physical attributes—one point per year.
So how many points of physical stats did fourteen million-year spirit rings give Ye Feng?
Ye Feng's math grades were excellent, but even he couldn't calculate that right now. Whatever the number was, one thing was for sure—it was terrifying to others.
"It's time to conquer the Sea God's Light."
Ye Feng took a step forward. He felt that even without using his external spirit bone—the Dragon and Phoenix Ancient Wings—he could now travel the world.
Ye Feng lightly stepped up, and his body floated into the air.
After ten months of body refinement, his bones were as tough as diamond. Ye Feng had already reached the legendary realm of stepping through the void.
He made his way to Sea God Mountain, relying on his memory. He crossed the circular sea outside the mountain and landed beneath the staircase leading to the Poseidon Temple.
"Big Brother!"
Xiao Wu was eating. The moment she saw Ye Feng arrive, she spat out the food in her mouth and happily rushed to him.
"Xiao Wu."
Ye Feng reached out and gently tapped her forehead.
"It's been ten months since we last saw each other. Your spirit power has improved," Ye Feng said as he stroked her hair.
"Ten months? Big Brother, it's been almost a year since you left," Xiao Wu corrected.
"A year?"
"Yes."
Ye Feng was secretly stunned. It had only taken him two months to condense those fourteen spirit rings through cultivation.
"Today's the last day for us to face the Sea God's Light. Look—Zhuqing, Rongrong, Yanyan, and the others are making their final sprint." Xiao Wu pointed at Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and the rest who were currently wrapped in Sea God's blue divine light as they ascended the steps.
Ning Rongrong's divine test was a top-level red-level challenge requiring her to climb 136 steps.
Additionally, Qian Renxue, Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, and Huo Wu had also received top-level red tests.
Xie Yue, Yan, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Huo Wushuang had received sixth-level black tests; Shui Yue'er, Meng Yiran, and Dugu Yan had fifth-level black tests; while Zhang Ping, Xu Yu, Li Kai, Tailong, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Jiangzhu had fourth-level black tests. They all needed to ascend 108 steps under the Sea God's Light.
At this point, it was hard to tell whether the author Tang Jia San Shao had made a mistake or if Poseidon himself had just gotten lazy. The set target for black-level assessments was fixed at 108 steps.
On the steps, Qian Renxue's talent was superior to Shui Bing'er's, yet she also received a red-level divine test. Probably because her martial spirit was the Six-Winged Angel—a force of the skies, not the seas. Her true stage was the heavens, not the ocean.
Qian Renxue was the first to reach the 136th step.
Following closely behind were Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, and Huo Wu.
Brilliant divine light shone from between their brows and enveloped them completely. Ye Feng noticed that all four of their spirit power levels had increased by one.
"Xiao Wu, what about you? Why aren't you going through the Sea God's Light?" Ye Feng asked.
Xiao Wu had also received a red-level test, just like in the original timeline.
"Because I already completed it," Xiao Wu replied.
"You already finished it?" Ye Feng was shocked.
"Yes." Xiao Wu lowered her head, almost as if she was expecting him to scold her. She fiddled with her fingers and muttered, "I completed the first stage after ten months of cultivation."
"Don't you realize this is an incredible opportunity? Training in Sea God's Light can rapidly boost your spirit power!"
"I know. It's just... this kind of cultivation is way too boring. I couldn't stand the loneliness," Xiao Wu explained in a small voice.
"You…"
Ye Feng raised his hand as if he was about to scold her, but halfway through, he lowered it and instead gently patted her head.
"Big Brother, are you scolding me?" Xiao Wu looked up with pitiful eyes.
"Forget it. It's already done. What's the point of chewing it over? I'm not a mercenary nitpicking at every little thing," Ye Feng smiled.
"Brother, are you here to hang out with me this time?" Xiao Wu asked sweetly.
"Xiao Wu, I'm not strong enough yet. I can't afford to slack off during my years of struggle," Ye Feng said seriously. Then, glancing at the Sea God's Light, he added, "This time, I've come to conquer the Sea God's Light."
"Conquer the Sea God's Light?"
"Yeah. The content of my Level One Grey Test consists of five words: Conquer Sea God Island. And the Sea God's Light is part of that island. As long as I conquer this light, my affinity with the God of Creation will increase," Ye Feng explained in detail.
The Sea God's Light and the Wrath of Despair were both symbolic landmarks on Sea God Island. Ye Feng firmly believed that by conquering this test, his bond with the Creator God would deepen.
Currently, Ye Feng's affinity with the God of Creation stood at 1%.
"Then… how many steps do you have to climb?" Xiao Wu asked, both worried and curious.
"My divine test doesn't require a specific number. My personal goal is 1,001 steps," Ye Feng said calmly.
"What?! One thousand and one?! You want to climb all the way to the summit of Sea God's Light?" Xiao Wu stared at Ye Feng, shocked.
Having taken the top red test herself, she understood just how tough it was to climb 136 steps.
And Ye Feng actually set his goal at 1,001?
That was insane.
"Yeah," Ye Feng nodded confidently.
"Brother, you might not know the nature of the Sea God's Light. It's not just any light, it's—" Xiao Wu tried to explain its true nature, but before she could finish, Ye Feng had already stepped onto the first step.
"Be careful!" Xiao Wu cried out anxiously.
But what she saw shocked her even more.
Ye Feng had stepped onto the second step—walking as easily as if he were on flat ground.
Her worries were unnecessary.
