Chapter 179
“Is the significance of bloodlines evident here?” Li Su’s words resonated aboard the flying vessel.
The flying boat was en route to the North Sea. During the journey, Li Su learned about the role of bloodlines within the system. After benefiting from the feedback of his bloodline, his requirement for enhancing his physical cultivation had significantly diminished.
Previously, with 1,000 experience points, he could only boost his physical cultivation by 250 years. But this time, thanks to the bloodline feedback, the same 1,000 experience points could enhance his physical cultivation by 350 years. It became apparent that Li Su’s physical cultivation was intricately tied to the potency of his bloodline. He remained oblivious to the status of other cultivators’ physical cultivation.
Given these advantages, Li Su contemplated having more children with Bai Ling. This would make it easier to bolster his physical cultivation and attain a balance between physical and magical aspects. However, due to Bai Ling’s royal bloodline, the prospect of having more children presented challenges. One additional child seemed feasible, but the rest depended on luck.
Additionally, Bai Ling’s physique substantially boosted Li Su’s combat abilities in seawater. Her daughter’s physique appeared to be favored by the ocean, offering Li Su enduring advantages in underwater combat and expanding his perception range within the water.
However, it was essential to recognize that divine consciousness in seawater had a compressed perception range, especially for weaker individuals. Bai Ling’s feedback significantly reduced this compression. As Li Su’s flying boat advanced, the North Sea appeared.
Upon entering the North Sea, Li Su continued venturing deeper into the ocean, guided by a rough understanding of Bai Ling’s potential location. Bai Ling had relocated from the previous Mermaid territory to a supportive Mermaid tribe.
This time, Li Su’s flying boat was notably faster, reaching the Mermaid territory in half the time of his previous journey with Lui Xinyue. He blew a conch shell to signal Bai Ling, asking if she had arrived.
Bai Ling, surprised by the message, provided Li Su with precise directions to a small island with a volcano. Li Su reached the island after a few more days. As he approached, a boat resembling a water droplet emerged from the water, piloted by Bai Ling, who held a baby in her arms.
Li Su took the baby in his arms and marveled at her exceptional attributes. He realized that she possessed advantages that even surpassed the Immortal Spirit Root. While formidable, catching up to her father, a time traveler with unique abilities, could be challenging.
Li Su kissed his baby daughter and inquired about Bai Ling’s status. She revealed that in eleven days, she would become the queen of all Mermaids. Li Su then decided to name their daughter “Li Ling’er,” combining elements from their names. Bai Ling agreed, emphasizing that Mermaids prioritized bloodlines, and the chosen name aligned with an ancient language’s pronunciation.
As the evening approached, Li Su and Bai Ling continued to chat, cherishing their time together.
Li Su gazed at the captivating Bai Ling, and a certain idea crossed his mind. “Bai Ling… how about granting us another child?”
Leaning in closer, Li Su whispered, “Bai Ling blushed, and it appeared that there was room for further discussion.”
Li Su then produced a unique magical device and carefully placed his baby daughter inside it, along with many spirit stones. This device allowed his daughter to grow nurtured by spiritual energy from a young age, granting her a more comfortable sleep, similar to a rocking chair.
After ensuring everything was arranged for his daughter, Li Su turned to Bai Ling and noticed her transformed legs. He stated, “Su, I have to return now.”
Three days later, Bai Ling’s languid voice sounded, “It’s still early, Su~.”
However, Li Su’s voice was full of energy as he replied, “Su, there’s only one more day until the ceremony begins~”
After several more days, Bai Ling’s voice seemed somewhat helpless. It had been over a year since they last saw each other, and Li Su had been missing her quite a bit.
This time, Li Su and Bai Ling spent ten days and nights together, but Li Su still seemed somewhat unsatisfied.
At that moment, Bai Ling’s seashell bracelet emitted a light. “Su, representatives from other Mermaid tribes have arrived to attend the ceremony. I really must go back now,” Bai Ling said, appearing somewhat helpless. She couldn’t keep Li Su waiting any longer, and as she spoke, Li Su was still…
“Oh, just give me a moment~.”
Half an hour later, Bai Ling had finally finished dressing and meticulously arranged her hair accessories in front of the mirror. Li Su inquired, “Will representatives from other tribes also attend your ceremony?”
Bai Ling nodded, “Yes, the Mermaids have been relatively weak recently and haven’t been highly regarded among the sea clans. This time, when I return, I will work to elevate the Mermaid’s status to secure more resources in the Northern Sea.”
Li Su pondered for a moment and then asked, “Bai Ling, may I accompany you and witness the ceremony?”
Bai Ling was surprised by his request. Her gaze briefly swept over Li Su, and then she handed him a special outfit. “Wear this clothing. It can conceal your aura and help you blend in as a Mermaid.”
Li Su donned the clothing, and it indeed provided a convincing disguise. He understood the importance of concealing Ling’er’s lineage. Her bloodline was exceptionally potent, and if exposed prematurely, it could attract unwanted attention and pose a danger to her.
As the special sea vessel they were on began to descend, they delved into exceptionally deep waters. The sunlight from above disappeared after several hundred meters underwater.
The vessel proceeded along an underwater mountain range, eventually passing through a unique bubble-like layer. On the other side, they were met with a breathtaking sight—an enormous underwater mountain range adorned with luminescent plants and unique structures.
This was likely the home of the Mermaid tribe that strongly supported Bai Ling. The sea vessel approached the underwater mountain range, revealing a vast plaza and numerous Mermaids engaged in various activities. Other sea tribes, including the snake people, were also present.
