Chapter 535: Chapter 534: Sea Clan and Ice Domain_1

    Actually, the Sea Clan is a kind of Demon Race, a race of demons that have lived in the sea for a long period of time.

    Like the Long Clan, there are Long Clan in the Demon Territory and in the East Sea. The Long Clan of the East Sea belongs to the Sea Clan.

    Upon their arrival in the Water Vein Sea, the sight of the six people turned dark, unable to see anything clearly. After the shadow gradually faded away, they could see what it was.

    “That’s a whale, a creature unique to the East Sea, which has not yet developed its spiritual wisdom.”

    The group then saw a group of beings with human bodies and fish tails, all female, with delicate features and excellent figures, their vital parts covered with shells, and their eyes sea blue.

    “This is the Fishman tribe, also known as the Mermaid Tribe, believed to be the result of a transformation of ancient humans and great fish demons. The female mermaids often appear in groups and hunt, while the male mermaids take care of household chores.”

    Suddenly, another mermaid swam past, her tail undulating, her appearance even more outstanding than the Fishman tribe they’d just seen. She gave the group a glance and continued to swim.

    “Is that a solitary mermaid? Has she been ostracized?”

    “No, that’s my Water Spirit Root Senior Sister Tang Fulign, who is researching how Water Spirit Roots squirt out seawater. She often disguises herself as a member of the Sea Clan.”

    Lu Yang was even more curious: “Is it difficult for Water Spirit Roots to squirt out seawater?”

    “Of course, it’s difficult. Water Spirit Roots are water, how can they produce salt?”

    Lu Yang felt that this was indeed difficult.

    “But that’s not right, what use is there studying this?”

    Bai Ming looked embarrassed: “Family disgrace should not be aired in public, please don’t let word of this out, lest it reaches the court’s ears.”

    “Don’t worry, we’re all tight-lipped.” Meng Jingzhou guaranteed, indeed telling the truth. The identities of the young master and the four saints of their Heaven’s Court had not been revealed yet, the strictness of their confidentiality is evident.

    Of course, from a certain perspective, they were worried about the danger that might come about if their identities were exposed. It was a matter of self-preservation.

    “Senior Sister Tang likes money. She heard that selling untaxed salt brings quick profits, so she’s preparing to do so.”

    Meng Jingzhou: “…”

    No wonder he dared not let it reach the court’s ears.

    “With so much seawater here, wouldn’t it be easier to just dry up the seawater into salt?”

    “Senior Sister Tang said, she’s responsible for her own actions. If she uses seawater to produce salt for sale, it would be easier for the court to trace it back to our sect.”

    “Good heavens, she’s thought this through.” Li Haoran exclaimed. She had considered every aspect of the situation, nearly as meticulously as Qin Haoran had.

    “That’s the Turtle Clan, that’s the Shark Clan, and that’s the Clam Clan.” Bai Ming pointed out the origins of these sea clans one by one. When the sea creatures saw they were guests of the Five Elements Sect, they all nodded and greeted them.

    The Turtle Clan with their heavy turtle shells, the Shark Clan who still had gills on their faces, and singing Clam women.

    “What a pity the top Sea Clans like the Dragon Tribe and Kun Peng Tribe aren’t willing to leave the East Sea to live in our sect. Even if they were willing to come over, they would only come to have a look around before heading right back.” Bai Ming looked rather regretful, having never had the opportunity to meet the Long Clan and Kun Peng Tribe.

    “The Kun Peng Tribe has asked me for help before.” Fairy Eternity said, she was, of course, familiar with the Kun Peng Tribe, as the elder patriarchs of the Kun Peng Tribe would be extremely respectful towards her.

    “What did they ask for your help with?”

    Did they ask you to spare their lives, or were they hoping that you could make them taste better?

    An alert from the Invincible Elixir caused Lu Yang to swallow his words.

    “Have you heard of the description of the Kun Peng Tribe by people? ‘There is a fish in the Northern Sea, whose name is Kun. The Kun is so big, I don’t know how many thousands of miles it is. It turns into a bird, named Peng. The back of the Peng, I don’t know how many thousands of miles it is.''”

    In the ancient era when the planet was still in existence, the Kun Peng Tribe lived on a planet named Northern Sea.

    “I’ve heard of it, why?”

    “At that time, the old patriarch of the Kun Peng Tribe came to me, saying that the lack of standardization in measurement resulted in discrepancies in scales among different races, especially the standards for ‘one mile’, ‘one meter’, which resulted in confusion when describing their Kun Peng Tribe, as they could not be sure exactly how long they were.”

    “The old patriarch of the Kun Peng Tribe asked us, the Five Immortals of the Ancients, if we could standardize the measurements. At that time, we just happened to have this idea, so we agreed to his request.”

    Lu Yang: “…”

    So that’s what that description meant.

    “Why does it feel a bit cold?” Tao Yaoye asked after the group had swam for a while.

    Golden Core Stage cultivators aren’t affected by heat or cold, but they can sense the temperature of the environment.

    “We are approaching the Ice Territory. It was constructed by the first generation Water Vein Elder using Array Method. With the additions by subsequent generations of Water Vein Elders, the area has grown larger and the ice thicker. Not many people come on regular days, would you like to take a look?”

    Cultivation methods and divine abilities of the ice attribute are considered a branch of the water attribute. There is also a Water Spirit Root variant called Ice Spirit Root. Thus, the Ice Territory is also a place needed by Water Spirit Root cultivators.

    Just as they were talking, a giant iceberg slowly drifted towards them. The whale in front of the iceberg seemed as small as an ant in comparison, with only one-tenth of the iceberg showing above the water surface, and the remaining nine-tenths submerged below.

    “Since we have a rare opportunity, let’s go take a look.” Meng Jingzhou said with a smile. When he came to the Five Elements Sect last time, he was engrossed in learning magic skills and didn’t have time for a detailed tour of the Five Veins.

    To the north of the Great Xia Dynasty is a region known as the frigid Extreme North, where few people, even from the Seek Dao Sect, have ever ventured.

    The Extreme North region has few living creatures and few resources for cultivation. Basically, aside from ice, there’s nothing there, so it’s not worth the visit.

    As they moved deeper into the Ice Territory, they could feel the biting cold more intensively. Under these conditions, even the Golden Core couldn’t protect them, and they started to feel the harsh cold. Spiritual energy circulated three or four times slower than usual, making it feel sluggish.

    But along the way, no one asked to stop, everyone continued swimming forward.

    “Enough, we will stop here.” Bai Ming also couldn’t handle the cold any longer, his teeth were chattering.

    Everyone sighed in relief. They were having difficulty keeping it together and were relieved that someone finally called a stop.

    “Given that the Ice Territory was established by the first-generation Water Vein Elder, doesn’t that mean it’s full of thousand-year-old ice, ten thousand-year-old ice, and even hundred thousand-year-old ice?” Man Gu asked curiously, his eyes gleaming. Living in the western high-temperature region of the mainland, he’s never seen so much ice.

    “Of course, there is. This place is filled with ice that is ten thousand to a hundred thousand years old. But it’s of no use.”

    “Isn’t it useful? I’ve heard that ten thousand-year-old ice is very valuable.”

    Bai Ming waved his hand and explained to Man Gu: “That’s just brokers fueling the hype, making it seem splendid, saying things like ten thousand-year-old ice has historical connotations, that it contains ten thousand year old chilliness, and that it’s a great help in cultivation. It’s all a trick. They make it seem as if the older it gets, the more valuable it becomes. Why don’t they also consider selling the spiritual energy we breathe, which has been around for millions of years?”

    “Even this water, these stones, they are nothing less than a hundred thousand years old.”

    Lu Yang nodded frequently at Bai Ming’s point of view next to him, and accidentally caught sight of Meng Jingzhou staying silent and looked puzzled.

    “Old Meng, what’s the matter? Don’t you normally like to speak at this moment?”

    Meng Jingzhou sent Lu Yang a voice message: “Keep quiet. It was our Meng Family that hyped up the ten thousand-year-old ice.”
