Chuanqi Sea.
One thousand meters deep from the sea surface.
At a depth of one thousand meters, due to a combination of factors such as sunlight, salinity, and pressure, this area is sparsely populated by fish, a zone where they are few and far between.
In this stretch of depth, aside from the marine creatures that naturally inhabit this region, only some monsters of the Sea Tribe with cultivation can come and go.
Therefore, after weighing by experts of the Sea Tribe, this one thousand meter deep sea area is usually used as the high-speed sea lane for the Sea Tribe monsters.
And now, there was a dragon carriage traveling on this sea road.
The dragon carriage was pulled by four large and sturdy sea horses at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with about a dozen shrimp soldiers and crab generals at the Foundation Establishment Stage escorting it.
Close to the dragon carriage, there were even four guards at the late Core Formation stage from the Dragon Clan closely protecting it.
At the top of the dragon carriage sat a bearded elder, who was actually at the Nascent Soul cultivation level.
The dragon carriage had a dragon-like shape, similar to the trains on Earth, with an overall slender design.
The space inside the carriage was quite luxurious and spacious, with only jellyfish monsters serving as waiters and a young man and a girl sitting in the carriage.
The young man looked sixteen or seventeen, not very old.
The girl was even younger, appearing to be only six or seven years old, her little face not even outgrowing the baby fat stage.
This young man was the third son of the Chuanqi Dragon King, the legendary Prince San named Ao Qi.
The little girl was the daughter of Ao Qi’s older brother, the eldest son of the Dragon King, a young Commandery Princess of the Dragon Clan who had just hatched a few years ago, named Ao Lian.
The Dragon Clan is an ancient and esteemed clan with the protection of their ancestors.
Unlike the Human Race, whose cultivation involves the arduous practice of absorbing spiritual energy, the ancient clans need only eat well and drink well, waiting for the power of the bloodline to awaken gradually and effortlessly increase their cultivation level.
Therefore, although Ao Qi and Ao Lian seem young, one actually has a cultivation level of Core Formation, and the other has reached Foundation Establishment.
The advantage of this method of cultivation relying on bloodline awakening is that it has no stress and starts at a high point.
The disadvantage is also clear, its growth is weak in the later stages, and the upper limit is much lower compared to the cultivation ceiling of the Human Race.
After all, bloodline awakening is a kind of archeological behavior, but there is only so much passed down from the ancients, no matter how much you uncover, if the ancestors have nothing left, you can’t create something from nothing, right?
So although the Sea Tribe is large and has many strong individuals at the upper levels, in terms of top-tier power, they have always been firmly suppressed by the Immortal Sects and have no way to challenge the dominance of the Five Great Immortal Sects.
“Wow, Uncle Three, what is that?” Ao Lian exclaimed, curiously peering out the window of the dragon carriage.
“That’s an anglerfish. The light on its head is used to trick little fish into coming over so it can swallow them in one bite,” Ao Qi explained with a headache.
“Uncle Three, Uncle Three, look, that octopus is so big!”
“Yes, that’s a giant octopus.”
“Does adding ‘giant’ make it bigger? Uncle Three, can you become a giant Uncle Three?”
“No.”
“Wow, Uncle Three, look, what is this?”
Ao Qi, rubbing his temples, said, “That’s an anglerfish. You’ve already asked about it.”
“Uncle Three, Uncle Three…”
Prince San, Ao Qi, clenched his fists tightly, attempting to calm himself down.
Child care was too torturous, easily a more distressing endeavor than killing him.
The reason for the journey to the Wuhuan fortress to attend the celebrations of the Dragon Blood Shark was something Ao Qi didn’t want to partake in. But as Prince San, he knew he had no choice but to go.
His father, the old Dragon King of Chuanqi, was in his waning years, and in order to ensure a smooth transition of the Dragon Palace to his big brother’s hands, they currently must garner the support of as many Sea Tribe forces as possible.
The Shark Clan was of paramount importance.
That’s why Ao Qi didn’t hesitate to travel thousands of miles to Wuhuan to express the Dragon Clan’s high regard for the Shark Clan.
It’s just that…
Ah!
He never should have agreed to his sister-in-law’s request to bring Ao Lian with him!
She said it would lighten my mood, but in reality, it seems I’m brightening hers!
“Uncle Three, Uncle Three!”
“What is it now?” sighed Ao Qi helplessly.
“You hear that? There’s a sound.”
“A sound?”
“Yes, it seems like the Song of Tides.” Ao Lian said seriously, her eyes wide open.
The Song of Tides was in the Dragon Palace, so how could it be here?
Ao Qi didn’t hear anything anyway, but when he saw that Ao Lian fell silent, he was very pleased.
“Lian’er, listen carefully, okay? Once you figure it out, tell Third Uncle.”
“Okay!”
Ao Lian nodded earnestly, truly perking up her ears to discern the sound.
Seeing the little alarm clock stop causing trouble, Ao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Wonderful, although they would soon arrive at Wuhuan and there would certainly be all kinds of social obligations, he could finally relax a bit for this last small part of the journey.
Ever since the grand formation of the Ming River Aquatic Tribe had been activated, most of the ambitious fish had been driven into the formation for protection. The fish left outside were those who, even if encouraged, couldn’t struggle even a bit.
Honestly, Hun River, who wholeheartedly considered the welfare of the Aquatic Tribe, wished those who only wasted aquatic resources and were of no use whatsoever would bite Wuyue’s hooks fiercely and then get eaten savagely by the Human Race!
In the end, they would become fertilizer to feed back into nature!
That was the only significant contribution they had.
Of course, as someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage, Hun River didn’t have the time for such trivial matters.
He and Juya had recently discovered an interesting game—sitting at the mouth of the Ming River where it meets the sea and watching the spectacle!
After the activation of the Aquatic Tribe’s grand formation, the number of sea fish swimming against the current into the Ming River began to skyrocket!
And there were all kinds of species, all kinds of tribes!
Hun River and Juya were now most interested in betting on when the Sea Tribe would go pick a fight with Wuyue.
And they also enjoyed betting on whether the Sea Tribe would succeed in their troublemaking.
Because of this, the two of them had even fought several times.
Even so, they would separate after the fights, but the guessing game would still continue.
After all, it wasn’t often that there was such fun to be had in their fishy lives.
Having been put through a lot by Wuyue’s Human Race, and with the Sea Tribe choosing to stand by idly, it was essential to let the Sea Tribe also taste the bitterness of Jiang Cheng!
Unlike Hun River and Juya, who were looking forward to the entertainment.
Ruolin had recently begun studying the Fishing Talisman of Jiang Cheng.
Standing excitedly at the entrance to the Ancestral Temple, Ruolin said, “Lanzu Uncle, Tunzu Uncle, I have an idea!”
During this critical period of confrontation between the Human Race, the Aquatic Tribe, and the Sea Tribe, Lanye and Tun Sheng naturally didn’t continue their seclusion for cultivation, as they were waiting for the final outcome of the matter.
The grand formation of the Aquatic Tribe could be activated, but they couldn’t keep it active forever. The matter of the Fishing Talisman would eventually need a solution that all parties could accept.
“No need for clamor. What is it, speak quickly.”
Lanye and Tun Sheng stepped out of the Ancestral Temple.
Excitedly, Ruolin said, “Please follow me, both of you uncles!”
Ruolin took Lanye and Tun Sheng to a small island in the middle of the river, which happened to be located within the Aquatic Tribe’s grand formation. Under the water around this place were the promising young ones of their tribe.
“Both of you uncles, please watch my performance!”
In front of Lanye and Tun Sheng, Ruolin directly took out a set of fishing gear, attached the Fishing Talisman, and started fishing!
Lanye:
However, Tun Sheng appeared thoughtful.
A moment later, Ruolin successfully caught a small carp!
With excitement, Ruolin said, “Two uncles, this carp stood out several times among the other fish! It’s sure to achieve great things in the future! I want to focus on nurturing it!”
Murmuring to himself, Lanye said, “So it is! So it is!”
Tun Sheng likewise laughed and said, “It’s said that misfortune may be an actual blessing, and a blessing may be a disaster in disguise. From this perspective, the Fishing Talisman is not only a danger to our clan, but also an opportunity!”
Immediately laughing delightedly, Lanye said, “Haha, the Human Race may use this talisman to select the outstanding descendants of our tribe for slaughter, but we Aquatic Tribe can also use this talisman to select the very best of our descendants and concentrate our resources on cultivating them! Good talisman, truly a good talisman! Heaven bless our tribe, the Aquatic Tribe shall thrive!”
