There were more magical techniques and arts of various kinds. Of course, these techniques and arts varied in quality, and the widely spread ones were usually basic. The major immortal sects held the best techniques that much was certain.
However, it was clear that the prosperity of the cultivation world and the level of refinement in the human cultivation system were superior.
Among the sea clans, a different situation emerged. Their cultivation methods were limited, and they were closely related to their bloodline. It was not that these cultivation methods were inherently flawed. The issue was that sea clans didn’t have the sheer number of cultivators that humans did, who could experiment and learn from mistakes, leading to the accumulation of more experiences and lessons.
Among the sea clans, when powerful individuals reached a certain level of cultivation, they had very few people to communicate with, which meant they often had to rely on trial and error. So, even if sea clans had strong bloodlines, their progression could come to a halt after a certain point.
“Princess Long Han, if you can’t overcome the Great Tribulation, is it possible for you to enter a state of slumber?” Li Su inquired.
“Slumber?” Long Han hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “It used to be possible, but not anymore. We’ve used up the resources that allowed us to enter slumber, and we don’t have enough valuable items to trade with the Holy Land for more. So, my sister can only take a life-or-death gamble.”
Li Su understood the situation. Indeed, only the Holy Land had access to the means of isolating one from celestial reckoning, allowing cultivators to enter a pseudo-death, ageless slumber state, thereby avoiding the tribulations. The Holy Land could also halt the aging process, but it required the cultivator to be in a pseudo-death, slumber state.
Someone like Tao Yao, who lived an earthly existence, couldn’t achieve this using the Holy Land’s methods. They continued their journey to the Western Sea and eventually reached the sacred White Dragon Clan’s location—White Dragon Mountain. This mountain, situated deep beneath the sea, served as a focal point for underwater spiritual veins.
Even though the Western Sea wasn’t as vast as the North Sea, it was exceptionally deep, with White Dragon Mountain towering ten thousand meters beneath the sea surface. Living underwater meant grappling with extremely high water pressure. The more powerful the White Dragon people, the deeper they resided.
In battle, the pressure alone would significantly suppress a cultivator’s strength. Foundation Establishment peak cultivators couldn’t descend due to water pressure. Golden Core cultivators could go down, but the pressure was still formidable, making even a Foundation Establishment sea clan member unbeatable.
Long Han’s sister resided at the very bottom of White Dragon Mountain. The sea vessel traversed the area, arriving at a grand square outside a palace. In this area, there was no water.
“Lord Li Su, please wait for me,” Long Han said. She entered the palace.
“Sister,” a sea clan woman who resembled Long Han, sat on a throne in the palace, holding a golden book. Upon hearing Long Han’s words, the woman, Long Kui, raised her head and asked if a suitable candidate had been found.
Long Han nodded and said, “I think he’s quite suitable, but ultimately, it’s up to you, sister. Do you want to hear his story?”
“Alright, go ahead,” replied Long Kui.
Long Han recounted the information she had learned about Li Su, primarily from her inquiries to Bai Ling in the North Sea. She emphasized Li Su’s extraordinary growth rate and the exceptional bloodlines of his offspring with Bai Ling and Mo Lin. Long Kui became interested in the information.
“Sister, should I bring him in?” Long Han asked.
“Alright,” Long Han went outside and returned with Li Su. Perched upon the throne, Long Kui looked at Li Su. His attractive appearance made a favorable first impression, and Long Kui’s gaze lingered on him due to his demeanor.
It was her first time earnestly appraising someone of the opposite sex. As she continued to assess Li Su, Long Kui’s gaze suddenly became somewhat awkward, and it seemed she remembered something. She shifted her gaze away. Seeing her sister’s expression, Long Han felt that there might be potential.
“Sister, please talk,” Long Han said before leaving. Long Kui seemed surprised, “Huh?” The Western Sea Queen, Long Kui, felt a bit at a loss when she saw Long Han leave. What should she say? Originally, she was indeed considering finding someone she could like and leaving behind an heir. However, she wasn’t willing to settle, and if she couldn’t find the right candidate, she wouldn’t seek one. Long Han had been searching for her for several years but to no avail.
With Li Su’s arrival and Long Han’s departure, Long Kui found herself unsure of what to say. Should she openly express her desire to have an heir with Li Su? She felt somewhat embarrassed. For her, this embarrassment indicated that she did have such intentions. Otherwise, as the Western Sea Queen, why would she struggle with such a simple situation?
No matter how noble a woman might be, once she fell for a man, she might display a side of herself that she had never shown before, similar to that of a young woman. “Queen, I’ve heard that there will be a grand lantern festival in the Central Continent soon, and a considerable number of cultivators from the Canglan Realm will attend. If the queen is willing, we can go together. What do you think?” Li Su asked. Sensing the subtle change in Long Kui’s expression, Li Su extended an invitation. Sometimes, it’s appropriate to take the initiative. ℞𝓪₦ỐBË𝙨
