Back on Sea God Island, two months had passed in the blink of an eye.
Although Chen Yuan had only advanced one level in spirit power, it was still a significant achievement considering he was already a level 78 Spirit Sage. Progress at this stage was notoriously difficult, and advancing one level in two months was something unimaginable in most places.
However, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had successfully broken through from level 58 to level 60. Not long ago, they had consumed their second immortal herbs. With the pressure of the Sea God's Light aiding them, they were able to fully absorb the medicinal effects of the herbs, making their breakthrough a natural outcome.
Shortly after their breakthroughs, a red light descended from the mountain and landed before the group. The figure within the red light was none other than Bo Saixi.
After paying her respects to Dugu Yan, Bo Saixi turned her gaze to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes filled with approval.
"At such a young age, you've already reached level 60 spirit power. Even with your natural talent, your hard work is evident. Congratulations. This is your reward for reaching a bottleneck in the Sea God's trial for the first time—a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring."
"You won't need to hunt spirit beasts for this ring. The God-Bestowed Spirit Ring will grant you the most suitable spirit ring. During the absorption process, its age will continuously increase until it reaches your limit. Therefore, if you want a higher-quality spirit ring, challenge your limits."
As she spoke, Bo Saixi handed two golden orbs to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
The orbs radiated a sacred aura, adorned with intricate golden patterns, exuding nobility, beauty, and mystery.
After hearing Bo Saixi's explanation and receiving the God-Bestowed Spirit Rings, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were still in shock. Their previous understanding was that spirit rings could only be obtained by hunting spirit beasts. Now, Bo Saixi's gift had opened their eyes to the true power of deities.
Chen Yuan's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He was nearing level 80 and hoped to use a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring to obtain a 700,000-year spirit ring for his eighth soul ring.
He turned to the two girls and said, "Prepare yourselves. This is a rare opportunity to obtain a spirit ring perfectly suited to you. Push yourselves to your limits."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of their daze, thanked Bo Saixi, and began meditating to restore their spirit power.
About an hour later, both had reached their peak condition. With a focused mind, they began absorbing the spirit rings.
The two God-Bestowed Spirit Rings shattered almost simultaneously, releasing a dense, sacred golden light that enveloped the girls' bodies.
The golden light quickly integrated into their bodies, permeating their flesh, organs, bones, and meridians. Despite its sacred appearance, the light exerted immense pressure on them.
Since they were both Spirit Kings, the pressure from the start was comparable to that of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, and it continued to intensify. It was evident from their increasingly solemn expressions that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were feeling the strain.
Time passed, and the absorption process reached a critical point.
Ning Rongrong's body shone with a dazzling nine-colored light, emanating from her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The pagoda rotated in front of her as she and her martial soul worked together to withstand the pressure, all in pursuit of a higher-quality spirit ring.
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, was completely enveloped in a dark, ghostly aura. A layer of spirit power surrounded her body as she used every means at her disposal to challenge her limits.
After nearly an entire day, both girls reached their limits and stopped pushing further.
First, Ning Rongrong's surrounding golden light condensed into a black spirit ring, which settled around her and began to rotate slowly.
Then, Zhu Zhuqing, who had held out slightly longer than Ning Rongrong, also saw her golden light condense into a black spirit ring.
Now came the formal absorption process. Having overcome the initial difficulties, the absorption proceeded smoothly.
As the sky darkened, the two girls finally awoke, their faces beaming with joy.
They expressed their gratitude to Bo Saixi once more. Seeing that they had successfully absorbed the spirit rings, Bo Saixi transformed into a streak of red light and vanished, leaving behind her voice:
"I'll return when someone else reaches a bottleneck…"
After Bo Saixi left, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing shared their joy with their companions.
Ning Rongrong spoke first, "The God-Bestowed Spirit Ring is truly miraculous. The energy didn't surge violently but increased gradually, giving me time to adapt. My sixth spirit ring is nearly 40,000 years old, and the spirit skill it grants is a 70% attribute boost. It consumes less spirit power compared to my previous five spirit rings."
Zhu Zhuqing followed, "My sixth spirit ring exceeds 40,000 years. The spirit skill it grants is called 'Netherworld Piercing Strike.' When activated, I become one with the Netherworld, granting me 100% physical immunity, 50% energy immunity, and a 30% armor-piercing effect. If I strike an enemy, they could be instantly killed. Even if they survive, Netherworld energy will invade their body, doubling their spirit power, stamina, and mental energy consumption. Their life force will also continuously weaken. If the Netherworld energy isn't expelled in time, it can cause irreversible damage, reducing lifespan and potential."
Dugu Yan was astonished. "I thought my 35,000-year sixth spirit ring was impressive, but you two have managed to absorb spirit rings equivalent to 40,000-year spirit beasts using the God-Bestowed Spirit Rings."
Ning Rongrong chuckled, "We had an advantage. The God-Bestowed Spirit Ring's age increases gradually, giving us time to adapt. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare attempt a 30,000-year spirit beast, let alone a 35,000-year one."
Zhu Zhuqing added, "As Bo Saixi said, everyone has a chance to obtain a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. Compared to us, Sister Yan, you could use one to get the perfect seventh spirit ring and unlock your martial soul's true form."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan smiled. "You've got me excited. I might as well skip sleep tonight and use cultivation to replace it."
Finally, Chen Yuan agreed, "We have a year to complete the Sea God's Light trial. Only two months have passed, so we still have ten months left. We must seize this opportunity to rapidly increase our spirit power."
That night, all five of them skipped sleep, replacing it with cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed. Chen Yuan and Dugu Yan had broken through to level 80 and level 70, respectively…
