Only that sea princess deserves such a grand mobilization.
"Yes."
Xu Zihuang nodded firmly with a determined look in his eyes.
Poison didn't kill him, his brow furrowing slightly.
"The mermaid race's innate soul skills are indeed unique, and their attributes are also very compatible with your martial soul. However, the Sea Princess's cultivation has reached 600,000 years. Are you sure your body can withstand the impact of her soul ring energy? The soul ring of this level of ferocious beast is not so easy to absorb."
"Senior Poison, I have confidence." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly.
Elder Xuan rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "You old poisoner, you owed Tianhuang such a huge favor before, and now that I'm asking for your help, you're just whining here. You're really getting worse as you get older."
"Xuanzi, shut your mouth!" Du Busi glared at him.
"Did I say I wouldn't go? I'm just worried that your recklessness will ruin such a promising talent."
"Alright, I know Tianhuang's situation better than you do." A barely perceptible sly smile appeared deep in Elder Xuan's eyes.
“If you old poisoner are really worried about Tianhuang, you should give him something substantial as a way of repaying that favor. In my opinion, the only thing your Body Sect has that so-called Body Secret Technique that is somewhat useful to Tianhuang.”
"Xuanzi, don't even think about it! The secret technique of the main body is a secret that our sect does not pass on!" Du Busi reacted extremely strongly as if his sore spot had been touched, but then he changed his tone.
"However, as long as this little fellow Yu Tianhuang is willing to join our sect, it is not impossible to pass on this secret technique to him."
Elder Xuan looked displeased and was about to retort when Gu Lao, knowing that the two had their own thoughts, stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, Xuanzi, you old poisoner. The situation on the mainland is unstable right now, you should hurry back."
Elder Xuan and Poison Undying both fell silent, having no objection to this.
"I'll take Ning Tian back first." As he spoke, Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand and used the talent ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul to take him to the inner courtyard female student dormitory area, asking Tang Ya to help take care of him.
Having explained these matters to Ning Tian beforehand, Xu Zihuang bid farewell to Ning Tian after only a brief exchange, and together with Elder Xuan and the other two, headed towards the far north ice sea.
Chapter 486 The Sea Princess and Her Daughter's Scheme and the God King's Plot
Shrek Academy is located in the southeast of the Heavenly Soul Empire, bordering the Star Luo and Dou Ling kingdoms. To reach the far north icy sea, the group must fly northwest, diagonally traversing the entire Heavenly Soul Empire.
A large portion of the northwestern territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire has been occupied by the Sun Moon Empire, which means that they will inevitably have to pass through enemy-occupied areas.
With such a lineup, the group was naturally not afraid of the Sun Moon Empire's army and Soul Master Corps, but they also did not want their whereabouts to be known, so as not to give the Sun Moon Empire an opportunity to take advantage of them.
Upon entering the area controlled by the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Zihuang used his fourth soul skill to imprint the simulated soul skill of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, concealing their presence for everyone.
Elder Xuan and Elder Gu stood on either side of Xu Zihuang, while Poison Undying was slightly behind the others, appearing to be protecting Xu Zihuang in the middle.
Of course, this was unintentional.
Du Busi stared at Xu Zihuang in front of him, then glanced at Elder Xuan, chuckling inwardly.
"Xuanzi, do you really think I don't know your little schemes? What you just said gave me a perfect excuse to pass on the secret technique of my main body to this little fellow Yu Tianhuang without arousing your suspicion. Once he has cultivated the flawless golden body of my sect, who on the continent will ignore the connection between him and my sect?"
With that in mind, Du Busi increased its speed and moved between Xu Zihuang and Elder Xuan.
Poison Undying's actions instantly caught the attention of Xu Zihuang and the other two. The three subconsciously glanced to the side and saw Poison Undying reach into his robes and take out a small booklet.
The booklet is entirely pale gold in color, with four delicate characters on its surface: “The Secret of the Essence”.
Upon seeing these four words, both Elder Xuan and the Ancient One's pupils contracted, and they looked up at Poison Undying in shock.
"Poisonous Old Monster, you?!"
Poison Undying calmly handed the booklet to Xu Zihuang, secretly pleased with himself for outsmarting Xuanzi and Shrek Academy, but outwardly maintaining a nonchalant demeanor.
“Xuanzi is right. Both our Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire owe you a great debt of gratitude last time. This Secret of Body contains many mysteries about the Body Martial Soul, and it is also the most core text of our Body Sect, which can only be passed down by successive Body Douluo. I, the sect master, always seek revenge for wrongs and settle scores with grievances. Before we reach the far north ice sea, I will lend it to you temporarily. During this time, I allow you to consult its contents at will.”
"Your original spirit is a gift from heaven, and all spirit masters in our Original Spirit Sect possess unique talents. Your own spirit is also an original spirit, so you should be able to sense the difference between an original spirit and an ordinary spirit. We have talents far exceeding those of ordinary spirit masters; we are more likely to achieve enlightenment and more likely to fuse spirit power and spiritual power. Your Golden Eye spirit possesses both time and space attributes, making it unique among the original spirits clearly recorded in our sect. Furthermore, you are born with an innate flawless golden body. You only need to verify your cultivation with our sect's acquired flawless golden body cultivation method to reach perfection in a very short time. Don't refuse; following our sect's acquired flawless golden body cultivation method will also make it easier for you to withstand the energy impact of the eighth spirit ring."
Xu Zihuang did not refuse politely, but accepted the secret technique and nodded solemnly.
"Senior Poison, thank you for your gift."
Poison Undying waved his hand nonchalantly, then said to Elder Xuan and Elder Gu in a low voice, "I have entrusted him with the secrets of my true form. Shouldn't you tell me about the matter of preserving the spirit body of the soul beast? Last time I saw him summon a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to assist in the battle."
Elder Xuan and Elder Gu quickly realized that what Du Busi was referring to was the method of soul fusion. Since Yu Tianhuang had received such a great benefit from Du Busi, they didn't hide anything and frankly told Du Busi about it.
"That's a contract method created by Tianhuang by chance. It seems that Tianhuang has gradually perfected that contract method." Elder Xuan laughed heartily.
"I just don't know if this kind of contract method can be promoted among ordinary soul masters, after all, Tianhuang's situation is quite special. Old Poison, if all goes well, our Shrek Academy can cooperate with your Body Sect as soon as possible."
"Xuanzi, who knows when this will happen? Stop making empty promises to me."
Although Du Bu Si was somewhat tempted, he knew that this was not something that could be accomplished overnight. He rolled his eyes in annoyance, showing no respect to Elder Xuan.
The old man watched with a smile as Poison Immortal and Elder Xuan bickered, not interrupting. He knew more about the Soul Fusion Technique than Elder Xuan. Of course, this was all thanks to Ning Tian, Yu Tianhuang's confidant.
At least if Yu Tianhuang were to assist the Soul Master in forming a contract with the Soul Beast, the chances of success would be somewhat guaranteed. However, it wasn't appropriate for him to reveal these details.
In the future, Yu Tianhuang may have various connections with Shrek Academy and Body Sect, but the relationship between Yu Tianhuang and their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is the most difficult to separate.
After Ning Tian and Yu Tianhuang had their bloodline continue, their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had already won by a large margin.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang was completely immersed in the mysteries of the true nature of the body.
……
Deep in the Arctic Ocean, on the seabed.
A palace-like complex sits quietly here. These buildings are all constructed from coral and various rare minerals from the sea, radiating a blue glow that illuminates the pitch-black seabed.
You can clearly see graceful mermaids swimming here.
These mermaids were mostly female, with upper bodies almost identical to humans, except that they used two seashells to cover their private parts. Their fish tails were exceptionally streamlined and beautiful. Compared to humans, they were more slender, and their faces were all extremely captivating. A series of clear, melodious laughs echoed through the seawater, seemingly possessing an invisible magic that stirred the heart and soul.
It's hard to imagine that such a paradise exists deep in the Arctic Ocean.
The largest of these coral palaces is thirty meters high and several hundred meters wide. Even in the human world, palaces of this scale are rare. Within the palace, faint yet intense fluctuations of soul power emanate.
Three stunningly beautiful mermaids stood in the center of the palace, their heads bowed in awe.
The leading mermaid, resembling a beautiful woman, was about three meters long. Unlike the other mermaids outside the palace, she wore a golden crown on her forehead, and the scales on her fish tail were also dazzling gold, indicating her noble status.
The mermaid to her left was similar in build and appearance to the Crowned Mermaid, but her crown was silver. Her tail was covered in dark blue scales, and her long, light blue hair flowed behind her.
The last mermaid girl looked almost exactly like the lead mermaid with the golden crown; she too wore a golden crown and had a golden fishtail supporting her petite body.
These three mermaids are the sea princess and her two daughters, Lijing and Liya.
The crown on their heads is a symbol of their royal bloodline as mermaids. The sea princess's youngest daughter, Liya, is the inheritor of the golden bloodline of the mermaid race, and her spiritual level surpasses that of her older sister, Lijing.
A phantom figure appeared before the Sea Princess and her two daughters.
He had long, flowing blue hair that cascaded down to his feet, and his magnificent blue robe seemed to ripple with water. Although he seemed to be trying his best to project an air of authority, there was always a sinister, smug smile in the depths of his deep blue eyes.
However, the three women, including the Sea Princess, kept their heads down and did not notice.
The figure's lips moved slightly, and a deliberately gentle yet solemn voice reached the ears of the Sea Princess and her two daughters. Then, he slowly raised the golden trident in his hand, and in that instant, the vast, boundless sea turned completely golden. Every soul beast in this icy sea felt its soul cleansed, and they bowed in worship towards the direction of the palace.
As the golden light shimmered, the figure gradually faded away along with the golden light in the seawater.
In the past, the Sea Princess would have undoubtedly obeyed the Sea God's instructions. However, after learning about those events recently, she hesitated. Moreover, according to the Sea God's instructions, she needed to abandon her original form and merge with that human. But she had only recently broken through the bottleneck of 600,000 years of cultivation.
Lijing couldn't help but ask her mother, "Mother, are you really going to follow Lord Sea God's instructions? But what about Aunt Bai..."
Upon hearing Lijing mention this matter, a deep sorrow welled up in Liya's eyes, making her appear pitiful. The Sea Princess's expression turned serious, and she stopped her daughter from continuing with a look.
About six months ago, Bai Xiuxiu, the little princess of the Great White Shark clan, arrived at the far north icy sea.
Both the Great White Shark Clan and the Mermaid Clan were conquered by the charisma of the First Sea God and are his most loyal followers. The Great White Shark King, Little White, and the Sea Princess are like sisters.
When Bai Xiuxiu came, she brought them extremely shocking news. Little White, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King and once the mount of the first Sea God, had perished!
Mermaids possess a unique talent: they can use bloodlines as a guide to see the memories of loved ones from their past lives. Bai Xiuxiu came to the Sea Princess wanting her help in finding the murderer of her mother.
It was through the Sea Princess's innate ability that they witnessed the Demon Soul Great White Shark King being severely injured by a human Soul Master, and then cruelly murdered by the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The brilliant golden trident rune of the Sea God on the human Soul Master's brow was the symbol of the Sea God's inheritor.
The current Sea God, when he inherited the position ten thousand years ago, had received the favor of the first Sea God on several occasions. But now, he shows no regard for past favors, allowing his successor to severely injure the first Sea God's mount.
The difference in their character was immediately apparent. Now, that Sea God had even made their mermaid king his heir's soul ring and soul bone. Perhaps, in that Sea God's eyes, these soul beasts were nothing more than resources for human soul masters to improve their strength.
Are such deities truly worthy of worship?
This same question arose simultaneously in the minds of the Sea Princess and her two daughters. Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will quietly grow. Humans and spirit beasts are inherently opposed to each other, and not everyone possesses the magnanimous heart that the first Sea God could transcend races.
Liya's personality was relatively more gentle, and she didn't show anything, but Lijing had already developed strong doubts about that sea god in her heart.
"Mother, do you really believe that it's possible to retain consciousness after becoming that human's spirit ring? How is that possible?! Even if it were true, you didn't need to do it! If you become attached to that human spirit master, will Liya and I ever see you again?"
At this point, tears welled up in the mermaid princess's eyes. As her tears flowed, they emitted a faint glow, then quickly transformed into flawless, perfectly round pearls that floated around her body.
Every tear of a mermaid transforms into a pearl, a unique characteristic of the mermaid race. Mermaid tears contain pure spiritual energy; an ordinary person who obtains one will not only awaken their intelligence but also enjoy longevity through spiritual nourishment. For human soul masters, they are invaluable treasures for elevating their spiritual power.
In contrast, each of these pearls is a part of the mermaid's spiritual essence. However, once these pearls dissipate in the seawater, they will naturally return to her body. But the lost life force can never be recovered.
The sea princess guided Regent's tears into the seawater, gently stroking her cheeks, her beautiful eyes filled with affection and tenderness.
"Child, don't cry. Tears will drain your life force."
The sea princess sighed softly; she was well aware of all this. But her mermaid race lived in the ocean, and for her to defy the sea god's commands required immense courage. It was through the story of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King that she learned of the current sea god's character, and that she worried that her actions might lead to retribution against the entire mermaid race.
Just then, four figures suddenly appeared on a huge, deep blue water mirror not far behind the Sea Princess and her two daughters, hovering high in the sky above the Arctic Ocean. These four had already arrived in the depths of the Arctic Ocean, not far from the palace where they were. And they had not noticed them at all beforehand.
Upon seeing the black-haired, purple-eyed youth standing at the front, the Sea Princess and her two daughters all widened their eyes. This was the human Soul Master who had severely injured the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, and also the current successor to the Sea God.
What surprised and bewildered them most were the three old men behind the young man. These three old men clearly showed no aura, yet the Sea Princess's pupils suddenly contracted as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Limit Douluo?!"
Liya's expression changed, and Lijing's face was filled with anger.
"Mother, these filthy and despicable humans must have come for you!"
The sea princess's expression shifted constantly; even with her temperament, an invisible anger was brewing within her. The sea god hadn't given her a choice at all, saying he hoped she would willingly merge with his successor, but if she refused, he would most likely kill her and forcibly seize her soul ring and soul bone.
The fact that the young man brought three Limit Douluos with him is the best evidence.
Chapter 487 Electric Fishing is So Much Fun!
Xu Zihuang stared indifferently at the Arctic Ocean below him. Huge icebergs floated above it, but the vast majority of the water was still a deep blue, unfrozen.
It was dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun bathed the icy sea in a golden-red glow.
A glint of purple-gold light flashed across Xu Zihuang's eyes. He seemed to sense something, and his gaze narrowed slightly.
