When Mingxi broke free from the dizziness of hitting her head, deafening Thunderbolt and salty, icy seawater brutally filled all her senses.
The mont Huo Han touched the seawater, he felt a familiar aura, yet one with a subtle and distinct difference.
It was like the seawater of the Endless Sea, yet not.
It was similar but not the sa.
It was like seeing two... people who looked like twins but were not related by blood.
The mystery of the world?
The vastness of all things?
Mingxi couldn't understand it for now, and she didn't have the energy to.
She looked up at the sky, where the commotion was growing louder.
How to describe the celestial phenonon unfolding before her?
"Heaven and earth overturned, all beings sorrowful."
"Explosive, aweso."
It was no less impressive than Golden Yuanbao's evolution phenonon.
Mingxi was certain that even if this place was unrelated to the Endless Sea, it was definitely not an ordinary sea area.
At this mont, the sky was a solidified inky black, like the internal organs of a giant beast, pressing heavily overhead.
Gale, Thunderstorm, Tsunami.
But the rain only fell for a brief mont.
It seed to have rained for a while just when she appeared.
Now the air in this space beca exceptionally dry, as if all moisture had been sucked out.
There were no raindrops, only violent Thunderbolts falling directly from the clouds like waterfalls, each Thunderbolt exploding into dazzling purple electric sparks on the sea surface, emitting sizzling burning sounds.
The air was filled with a mixed scent of ozone and sulfur.
And there was an invisible ntal whisper, like a maggot clinging to bone.
It was actually trying to burrow into Mingxi's mind.
"This lightning... the power of rules?!"
Guangguang's voice confird Mingxi's guess.
【Do you want to consu 500 minutes of reward ti to absorb the power of rules?】
Although Little Silver Flower could now evolve without relying on the power of rules, the power of rules was still crucial for its growth.
So, more was naturally better!
"Absorb!"
Mingxi's voice sounded much weaker in the Thunderstorm.
One could see the intensity of this Thunderstorm!
Let's summon Golden Yuanbao and Black Pearl first.
This environnt should be beneficial to them, not harmful.
"Thunder!"
"Argh!"
The two were full of vigor and indeed unaffected by the ntal Impact of the Thunderbolt.
Black Pearl leaped out imdiately, its fishtail splashing water.
Before Mingxi could respond, it plunged headfirst into the dark sea.
Mingxi stretched out her arm, looking speechless.
What to say!
She didn't want to say anything anymore.
"Thunder."
The child is grown, let it be.
Golden Yuanbao had a haughty expression.
Mingxi: "..."
You talk as if you're very old, Xiao Ye.
"Splash!"
The stopped rain suddenly fell again.
"Huh?"
Mingxi looked up again, watching the drizzling rain coming towards her.
This couldn't be a coincidence, could it?
This rain clearly fell after Golden Yuanbao and Black Pearl appeared.
"Could this sea area sense newly added life forms? And then rain the mont it senses them?"
While Mingxi's brain was working, she had already let Golden Yuanbao open the Sky-Connecting Umbrella.
The Sky-Connecting Umbrella was a special tool specifically designed for collecting rainwater, made by Chiyu for this trip.
It was funnel-shaped, supported by a handle, hollow in the middle, with a container at the bottom, and could expand to a two-hundred-ter diater when opened.
"Pitter-patter!"
A rapid pattering sound rang out, and rainwater fell into the Sky-Connecting Umbrella, flowing down the central pipe into the bottom container.
Mingxi touched a drop of rain.
The water drop looked no different from ordinary rainwater, crystal clear, slightly cool and refreshing.
But there was a special energy fluctuating, very subtle.
No, it should be said to be very obscure.
The kind of obscurity where a treasure hides its brilliance.
"This rain is indeed unusual."
Of course, Mingxi was not a reckless person, so she naturally wouldn't try to consu it easily.
It couldn't be confird yet if this was jade milk liquid, and Guangguang was absorbing the power of rules, so she couldn't help her detect it for now.
She could summon Erald Green, but this Thunderbolt was quite restrictive to its abilities.
Forget it, she'd store it for now; it wouldn't be too late to test it later.
Just like before, the rain didn't last long, only about 30 seconds.
"It should be rain ti allocated per head."
When she appeared, it only rained for about 15 seconds.
And for Golden Yuanbao and Black Pearl, it was 30 seconds.
Interesting!
"So, is it the Thunderbolt that contains the power of rules, or does this sea area control so kind of rule?"
Mingxi felt this sea was becoming increasingly mysterious.
"Black Pearl."
This cub hadn't surfaced since going into the water; would there be a problem?
She imdiately lay on the bow, looking down at the deep, almost invisible sea surface.
Whether influenced by the weather or because this sea was inherently strange, the seawater was as dark as ink, as if possessed.
It gave a sense of profoundness and steadiness.
Unable to see Black Pearl, Mingxi could only release ntal energy threads into the seawater.
She spread her voice with her ntal power.
"Black Pearl, don't swim too far!"
"Splash!"
Hearing her call, Black Pearl, who was swimming through the waves like a dragon in the sea, jumped out of the water, flicking her tail.
Like a free little dolphin.
Her shiny black tail and scales glead with Five Colors light in the Thunderbolt.
It was beautiful in a subtle, luxurious, and profound way.
"Argh, argh..."
Black Pearl swam to the side of the boat, propped her upper body on the gunwale, and called out to Mingxi with great excitent.
She indicated that she felt her evolutionary opportunity was here.
But she didn't know how to proceed.
Mingxi was slightly stunned; Black Pearl actually sensed an evolutionary opportunity here?
Then the problem arose again.
What exactly were her evolution conditions?
"Why don't you try eating the Azure Soul Root and Star Dark Cloud Blaze first?"
The Azure Soul Root and Star Dark Cloud Blaze were sss-grade materials of water and ghost attributes, respectively.
Needless to say, these were the materials Guangguang speculated might allow Black Pearl to evolve.
"Argh!"
Fish Baby made an 'ok' gesture with her paw.
Then she gnawed on the two extrely precious heavenly treasures.
Like gnawing on a carrot.
Crunchy.
Delicious.
And then—
"Rumble!"
"Whoosh!"
"Splash!"
The thunder still roared, the wind still blew, and the waves still surged.
Black Pearl's body showed no evolutionary white light, not even a single strand of hair fluttered.
"Looks like it's not working."
"Then let's try another one!"
"This ti, try the Sea Roar Platform!"
The Sea Roar Platform was a special tool made from the body of a water-elent Transcendent creature, the Sea Roar Howler, after its death, composed of rock and water.
This tool had no other function than to guide and induce the evolution of so water-elent Transcendent creatures.
It was even directly the evolutionary condition for so water-elent Transcendent creatures.
The value of the Sea Roar Platform was in no way inferior to sss-grade material; in fact, because it involved the life of a Sea Roar Howler, it was strictly controlled by the Alliance and various national governnts.
Even Mingxi had to personally apply at the Yushou Center, and after multiple rounds of review, she could then pay star coins to purchase it.
One of these cost 600 million star coins, no bargaining!
The Sea Roar Stone was not an ordinary tool; it was essentially the corpse of a Transcendent creature, so it was not restricted by the rules of this sea area.
Black Pearl sat gracefully on the Sea Roar Stone, which floated and sank in the seawater, like a lotus child.
Three minutes.
Ten minutes.
A quarter of an hour.
The Sea Roar Stone was still the Sea Roar Stone, and Black Pearl was still Black Pearl.
"Thunder."
It seems it's still not working.
Mingxi deeply sympathized.
"Let's try the next one..."
While Mingxi and her two Transcendent pets were enduring the furious Thunderstorm weather, experinting with Black Pearl's evolution thod, in a mysterious area unknown to them.
In the deepest abyss of the sea, beyond human imagination, eternal night ruled everything.
There were no storms, no Thunderbolts, only water pressure capable of crushing steel.
An ancient stronghold was built between giant coral reefs emitting a faint, eerie glow and hydrothermal vents, like a ghost kingdom sleeping in the depths of a dream.
The strongest elder of the clan was leaning against a dark blue crystal, napping.
Her blue rmaid tail unconsciously swayed in the icy currents.
"Dong—!"
A pulsation, not transmitted through the water but directly resonating in her soul, rang out without warning.
The elder suddenly opened her eyes, and those pale eyes, already tinged with turbidity, instantly burst forth with terrifying light.
"Aman?"
What is this?
It wasn't a danger warning, nor did it seem like a physical problem... This ancient and familiar pulsation, originating from the bloodline!
It was the 'Emperor'!
It was the 'Emperor's' call, flowing with their clan's purest, most ancient bloodline!
The elder's withered face broke into a smile, a smile that seed to rejuvenate her.
This was the first ti their clan had received the 'Emperor's' call.
Their 'Emperor' needed them!
"Aman!"
Her sowhat shriveled lips moved slightly, and a sharp sound wave, like a ripple, instantly spread to every corner of the entire stronghold.
In an instant, in countless coral houses.
Inside rocky caves.
Those clan mbers who were originally sleeping, ditating, or playing, all froze.
Imdiately after, pairs of pale eyes lit up in the gloomy seabed, like stars ignited simultaneously.
They heard it.
And they felt it.
That pull from the soul level, that call from the source of the bloodline, irresistible, unquestionable!
No questions, no hesitation.
An instinct deeply rooted in their genes drove them.
"Aman!"
"Argh!"
The Emperor was calling them!
The elder was the first to sway her rmaid tail, her body bursting with power far exceeding her rank, like an arrow released from a bowstring, resolutely breaking through the Barrier that isolated the deep-sea pressure outside the clan territory.
Leading her clan, she surged upwards, towards the sea area that had always been forbidden to them!
They moved!
The entire clan moved!
Hundreds of Ghost Sea rn, like an army that had received its final command, sward out from every corner of the stronghold.
Young warriors, middle-aged nurturers, and even younglings who had not yet fully mastered water flow control, all converged into torrents.
They no longer maintained their elegant swimming posture but, with a frantic posture almost burning their lives, swayed their powerful rmaid tails, tearing through the heavy seawater, upwards, upwards, and ever upwards!
This scene was magnificent and incredibly eerie.
It even terrified the Transcendent creatures living nearby.
"Ma?"
"Moo!"
"Where?"
The sea beasts cried out in alarm; they didn't understand.
Why did the Silent clan, who lived a secluded life as if in seclusion, suddenly leave their 'nests' en masse?
Could it be that the underwater volcano was about to erupt?
Transcendent creatures also had a herd ntality; the unannounced exodus of the Ghost Sea rman clan instilled fear in other Transcendent creatures.
They instinctively followed, swimming towards the sea surface.
The Ghost Sea rman clan, however, paid no attention to the reactions of other Transcendent creatures.
At this mont, they were like moths to a fla, undertaking what might be their first, and possibly last, pursuit of light in their lives!
They surged past the perpetually swirling giant luminous jellyfish swarms, startling these deep-sea inhabitants into retracting their tentacles.
They traversed the icy, bone-chilling undercurrent zones, their tough scales scraping against the water with a hissing sound.
They even ignored the massive dark shadows that lurked in deeper layers, radiating terrifying auras, casting the threat of predators to the back of their minds.
The higher they went, the less the water pressure, but the call beca clearer and more urgent!
At the sa ti, they also began to feel the violent energy fluctuations coming from above the sea surface—the scorching heat of Thunderbolt, the tearing of the storm—which made them extrely uncomfortable.
But this did not stop them in the slightest.
Finally, they approached the sea surface.
Above their perpetually dark field of vision, chaotic and dazzling light began to penetrate, a twisted mixture of lightning and light.
At this very mont, Mingxi and her two Transcendent pets, unaware of the 'response' from the deep sea, had already sensed the abnormality of the ocean.
The originally violent sea surface suddenly stirred up even more bizarre and chaotic tides.
It wasn't waves pushed by the wind, but an unordered churning originating from the deep sea itself.
It was as if countless turbulent currents were tearing at this sea area.
Or as if a giant creature was awakening and stirring at the bottom of the sea!
Their small boat bobbed and sank in the waves, like a piece of duckweed that could be shattered at any mont.
If not for Black Pearl stabilizing it, the boat would have flipped long ago.
"What's going on?"
Mingxi watched the seawater, her expression exceptionally grave; she felt a large amount of complex ntal energy.
"A large group of Transcendent creatures is approaching in the sea!"
She imdiately identified the source of the change.
The mont she made that judgnt, streaks of ethereal blue figures, as if pulled by an invisible force.
"Puff, puff, puff—!"
Amidst the successive splashes, ethereal blue dominated the view.
"Holy cow!"
Mingxi cried out in surprise, her face looking as if she had seen a ghost.
Her Earthquake-stricken pupils reflected those figures; they had humanoid upper bodies and large, dark blue rmaid tails.
Their eyes were uniformly pale, unfocused, like faded gems.
"These are... Youhai rmaids?!"
Although their pupils were wrong, their other features and appearance were indeed the sa as Black Pearl's mother.
And they were similar to the rmaids they had salvaged from the underwater tomb.
So, they were indeed Youhai rmaids.
"This sea area actually harbors such a large number of Youhai rmaids!"
The rmaid race, which was extinct on Blue Star, was so nurous here that they were practically worthless!
Mingxi looked at Black Pearl, who was guarding the boat, ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) equally astonished.
Although Black Pearl had evolved into a Ghost Sea rman that was neither fully rmaid nor fully ghost, from a racial bloodline perspective, she was indeed a Youhai rmaid.
So, these Youhai rmaids wouldn't be here for Black Pearl, would they?
Alright.
No need to ask, it definitely was!
Because all these rmaids' gazes were fixed on Black Pearl, those pale eyes shouldn't have shown any emotion.
But Mingxi saw excitent and fanaticism in them.
"Argh?"
Black Pearl's tail tensed up from being stared at!
