Chapter 158: A New Mission, Divine Affinity
Qi Tian did not respond to Bo Saixi mainly because Bo Saixi did not know him and it didn't matter whether he revealed his identity or not.
However Bo Saixi still regarded Qi Tian as the Sea God for the time being and she dared not ask any other questions for fear of offending the Sea God.
Outside the Sea God's Temple the light of the Sea God enveloped the mountain like a luminous barrier.
Qi Tian stepped out of the Sea God's Temple and into the light of the Sea God.
A pressure fell on Qi Tian and he felt as if he were being squeezed by the deep sea with an endless weight pressing down on him.
Fortunately Bo Saixi's physical cultivation was high enough otherwise Qi Tian would probably have been exposed.
Since Bo Saixi was able to become the High Priestess the damage from the Light of the Sea God was not as great for her.
Only she could climb to the top of Sea God Mountain; even the seven Sacred Pillar Douluo could not pass through the light of the Sea God to reach the summit.
"No wonder those who have passed the test of the Sacred Pillar cannot leave Sea God Island. The power of the gods is indeed beyond human comprehension" Qi Tian thought to himself.
Just then a system notification appeared.
[Current Mission: Possess Bo Saixi and change her fate.]
[Stage Reward: By cultivating using Bo Saixi's body the resulting soul power can be fed back to the host's original body.]
[Final Reward: Sea God Affinity. Each stage of the mission rewards 33.3% and this does not affect the host's ability to comprehend other divine positions.]
[Mission Details: 1. Show Bo Saixi the life of an ordinary person; 2. Take Bo Saixi away from Sea God Island on a long journey; 3. Prevent Bo Saixi from making a sacrifice.]
"It's actually the affinity with the Sea God's position?" Qi Tian frowned.
The Sea God's position is in the Sea God's hands. Even if he has 100% Sea God position affinity it's useless.
You can't exactly storm the realm of gods and steal his divine throne can you?
Does he want him to be like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King seizing the Sea God's position while Tang San is inheriting the divine position?
Or take advantage of Tang San's death and his impending resurrection to seize his divine position.
"Forget it let's just take it one step at a time!" Qi Tian thought to himself.
He was absolutely unwilling to touch the sacred pillar of the Sea God and sign up for the Sea God's test.
Because once the mark of the Sea God's test is placed on his forehead his life and death are no longer in his own hands.
If the Sea God doesn't approve of him and gives him a black-level test or even a purple or yellow-level one he will be trapped on Sea God Island for life.
Therefore he would rather wait for Bibi Dong to take him to the God Realm to become a god without a divine position than participate in the trials of Sea God Island.
Having divine affinity is not a bad thing. First he can use it to comprehend the light of the Sea God and related laws.
Secondly he might be able to borrow the Golden Trident.
"But Bo Saixi's task is simple!" Qi Tian thought to himself.
The first task is to be an ordinary person right? There are quite a few truly ordinary people on Sea God Island.
They cannot cultivate cannot become Soul Masters and must leave Sea God Island after the age of eighteen.
Unlike Bo Saixi who was destined to be detached from the life of an ordinary person after awakening the Sea God Martial Soul.
As for the second task taking her away from Sea God Island this task is a bit difficult but not too difficult; it only requires a little luck.
Soul masters who have passed the Sea God's test on Sea God Island cannot leave the island without the Sea God's divine decree.
Although Qi Tian could teleport Bo Saixi off Sea God Island all his efforts would be in vain if the Sea God were to unleash divine punishment.
However Qi Tian could try to get the Sea God to assign her a task.
He remembered that within the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure the Vast Sea Universe Cover there was a divine thought of the Sea God.
Without the Vast Sea Universe Cover the Sea God could not pass on his divine position through the normal process so Qi Tian did not believe that the Sea God would prevent people from retrieving the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
If he just lets Bibi Dong take the Vast Sea Universe Cover the Sea God will definitely send Bo Saixi to retrieve it. Then Bo Saixi will be able to leave the island right?
Qi Tian felt much more relaxed after figuring out the mission plan and then headed down to the foot of Sea God Mountain.
At the foot of Sea God Mountain lies a ring-shaped sea filled with water where Qi Tian also experienced walking on the waves using his Sea God Martial Soul.
At this point Bo Saixi finally noticed the anomaly.
"No isn't it the Sea God descending from the heavens?"
Bo Saixi finally noticed that Qi Tian seemed extremely unfamiliar with using the Sea God Martial Soul.
If it were the Sea God descending from the heavens this wouldn't happen.
However she remained silent and continued to observe Qi Tian's every move.
Qi Tian stood on the sea. The water was so deep that he could see his own reflection.
Bo Saixi was tall and slender dressed in a bright red ceremonial robe with her long sea-blue hair flowing down her back almost touching the sea surface.
She had a delicate face and perhaps because she was possessed by Qi Tian she looked to be only in her early twenties.
If it were her she would be used to maintaining a noble and elegant demeanour and perhaps she would look a bit more mature but she wouldn't look like someone over a hundred years old.
With a little modification to their appearance they can still blend in with ordinary people and live among them for a period of time.
"It really is beautiful!" Qi Tian exclaimed.
In order to help this body find the feeling of its youth Qi Tian took off the purple-gold crown on his head.
He started walking with a cheerful gait completely disregarding the etiquette he had learned before.
"What is the meaning behind Lord Sea God's actions? No this is not Lord Sea God!"
Bo Saixi was finally certain that the person controlling her body was most likely not some Sea God.
"You are not the Sea God so who are you?" Bo Saixi asked in the sea of consciousness.
Qi Tian knew he couldn't pretend to be the Sea God so he stopped pretending to be mute.
"When did I say I was the Sea God? I'm just an ordinary person" Qi Tian replied casually.
Bo Saixi secretly repented realising that she had committed a grave sin by mistaking such an impudent fellow for a Sea God.
However the fact that the opponent could control her body and prevent her from breaking free showed that the opponent was not weak.
Bo Saixi calmed down and refrained from speaking ill of Qi Tian.
"What do you want by controlling my body?" Bo Saixi asked.
In her view the other party must have had ulterior motives for taking her body.
If what the other person wants is unimportant just give it to them.
If the other party wants to blaspheme the Sea God then she has no choice but to fight back to the death.
Qi Tian sensed Bo Saixi's unease and comforted her "Don't worry I won't do anything to you!"
"I'm just curious about what life is like on Sea God Island."
"I'd like to use your body to live on Sea God Island for a while what do you say?" Qi Tian asked.
Bo Saixi breathed a sigh of relief. She had controlled the body of a level 99 Limit Douluo just to experience life on Sea God Island.
This didn't seem like blasphemy against the Sea God so Bo Saixi thought about it and agreed.
"Alright now that you've experienced life here please leave my body!" Bo Saixi said.
Qi Tian remained noncommittal and asked "Where do you live?"
