500: Chapter 499: The Underground World 500: Chapter 499: The Underground World Peter Brown studied here for quite some time before realizing that the light sweep was a form of identity verification, and only Sea Clan members could enter.

After figuring this out, Peter activated the Illusion Formation of the Flying Fish Talisman to simulate the breath of the Sea Clan, and swam over carefully.

At this moment, the beam of light swept across again.

Peter was ready this time, prepared to leave instantly if it did not work.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

After the light swept over him, Peter did not discover any problems.

Thus, the Flying Fish Talisman swam inside.

In fact, most Sea Clan members would instantly metamorphose into human form upon entering.

Peter only used the Flying Fish Talisman to get past the light.

Once inside the Crystal Gate, Peter retracted the talisman and transformed into a human form like the Sea Clan members.

Now, Peter stood inside the Crystal Gate.

Looking around, there was a section of seawater within, only reaching their lower legs.

Peter had no idea what to expect ahead, so he just kept walking in.

The further he went, the shallower the seawater became.

A mile later, the ground was devoid of seawater.

What a strange place!

Peter secretly circulated his True Qi to protect his entire body.

After walking for some time, Peter suddenly discovered a large city ahead.

Undersea City!

This discovery shocked Peter, as he had never expected a city to exist in such a place.

Although he had seen the city from afar and was skeptical, now that he was inside, Peter was astonished beyond expression.

What surprised Peter the most was that there was a Space Domain above the city, bright and sunny.

A huge barrier covered the underground, and upon careful examination, it was not water beyond the barrier but actual space.

A Mysterious Space or a small world?

Peter had a feeling that this underground area should be a small world, and it might not even be small.

Walking further, Peter saw that the city had city gates, and before these gates stood two guardians who looked like humans, not fish.

The more he looked, the stranger Peter felt.

He continued to walk in.

Thankfully, the two guards did not question Peter.

They just glanced at him and said nothing.

As he walked in, Peter discovered that the spiritual energy within was even richer than on the surface.

With every breath, he could feel the spiritual energy entering himself.

Walking on the streets, Peter found that this was a very prosperous place with countless people coming and going.

Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find that most of the people here were actual humans.

There was a place like this in the undersea world!

After glancing at the surrounding situation, Peter headed towards a restaurant.

“What would you like, sir?” The waiter was a young man who spoke with the accent of Hua Nation’s coastal region.

Peter mimicked his accent and said, “I come from the outside, and I don’t know what you use here for settlements?”

The waiter looked at Peter and smiled.

“Did you just come down from the land, sir?”

At this question, Peter was taken aback, looking at the waiter with caution.

Seeing Peter’s reaction, the waiter smiled and said, “There is no need to be surprised, sir.

Many people like you come down from the land to our undersea world.”

Realizing that the waiter meant no harm, Peter let out a sigh of relief.

“You can use Spirit Stones or Lingcao plants for settlement.

Alternatively, you can exchange them for our Sea Coins.”

Peter had quite a few Lingcao plants with him, so he relaxed and said, “Well, I just arrived and haven’t figured out the situation here yet.

I’ll have to ask the waiter to explain things to me.”

The waiter smiled and said, “Our Sea Clan admires human civilization, and we occasionally bring some humans here.

Every Sea City has a large number of humans now, so rest assured, there will be no trouble.”

“Bring humans here?” Peter looked at the waiter puzzled.

The waiter smiled and continued, “Many accidents occur in the ocean, and people from the surface think they died in the sea.

In fact, many of them end up in the underground cities.

Unfortunately, humans cannot breathe underwater, so they can only live in these underground cities separated from the seawater.”

As Peter looked at the people walking on the streets, the waiter explained, “There are three types of people here.

The first are the Sea Clan, the masters who live high above; the second are the Mixed Blood Clan, descendants of the Sea Clan and Human Clan, who also have many privileges; and finally, there are the Human Clan, who have the lowest status.

However, the number of humans is increasing, and they still have some power, especially those who come here with cultivation arts, as they grow rapidly.

They have also established some forces here that can contend with the Sea Clan.”

There was so much information!

Peter did not know what else was going on, so he took out a Black Lotus Herb and asked, “What’s the price for this kind of Lingcao here?”

Once the waiter saw the Lingcao, his eyes lit up and said, “This is the Lingcao that cultivators who practice Vine Art like.

It’s hard to see this kind of Lingcao in the ocean.

Some cultivators have a huge demand for it.

I’ll ask the shopkeeper to come and discuss it with you.”

As the waiter rushed away, Peter surveyed the surroundings, curious about everything here, never having imagined such a place in the depths of the sea.

Upon recalling the waiter’s words, Peter could only nod.

Without a magic treasure, it might not be possible for a cultivator to navigate the long stretches of the seabed.

Peter estimated that only those at Qi-refining Level 10 or above could possibly travel this way.

Thinking of the large number of humans here, Peter felt that they were confined to this place.

Even powerful cultivators might not be able to return to Earth, as there must be some controlling measures by the Sea Clan.

Shortly after, a man in his forties hurried over to Peter and said, “Please follow me, sir, for further discussion.”

Peter followed the shopkeeper into a room.

“Please let me see the Black Lotus Herb,” the shopkeeper said.

Peter handed the Lingcao to the middle-aged man.

After inspecting it for a while, the excited shopkeeper said, “Indeed, it is the Black Lotus Herb.

This kind of Lingcao, which can only be found on land, is very valuable in the cities of the ocean.”

Peter smiled and said, “Well, I will be staying here for some time.

Please sell this Black Lotus Herb for me and exchange it for Sea Coins.”

The shopkeeper smiled broadly and said, “Rest assured, sir.

I will definitely handle this matter well for you.”

There were too many Lingcao in Peter’s ring.

Feeling that Black Lotus Herb was the least valuable, he took it out, never expecting such a situation to arise.
