ALL NOVEL Chapter 200
Li Su asked, “Are there any Nascent Soul stage experts in the Northern Sea now?”
Mo Qi shook his head and said, “No, in the great battle tens of thousands of years ago, the elite forces of the North Sea were nearly wiped out, leading to a significant loss of its foundation. The North Sea has recovered, but not enough to birth beings above the Divine Transformation level.”
Based on the description, Mo Qi is likely in the later stages of the Divine Transformation, making him the North Sea aquatic clans’ strongest individual.
Mo Qi continued, “There are dangerous forbidden areas, some of which may contain sixth-order powerhouses from tens of thousands of years ago, possibly in slumber.”
Li Su was intrigued, “Sixth-order powerhouses? Divine Transformation-level beings in slumber for tens of thousands of years?”
Mo Qi added, “This is just speculation, though.”
Li Su inquired, “You’re not very old, are you? Have you reached a thousand years of age?”
Mo Qi displayed envy and said, “Not yet. Master, with your youth and talent, you won’t have to worry about the challenges we may face.”
Li Su understood but refrained from further questioning.
Li Su had spent five years in the Sea Clan’s Holy City, where several women had developed affection for him. Sea clan women didn’t oppose relationships with humans. They valued bloodlines and sometimes sought exceptional human partners to bear offspring. However, the more exceptional the sea clan women, the less likely they were to compromise unless they genuinely fell in love.
They often chose to remain single for life instead of settling for less. For instance, someone like Bai Ling would not have agreed to have children without encountering someone like Li Su. If she were to have children with an ordinary sea clan member with less distinguished bloodlines, it could result in a weakening of their descendants’ lineage.
Therefore, exceptional sea clan women at or above the Golden Core level were very selective in choosing partners and having offspring. This cautious approach to reproduction was one of the reasons why sea clans had a much smaller population than humans.
Mo Qi’s suggestion indeed had its advantages for the sea clans. A human as remarkable as Li Su, still in the Nascent Soul stage and beloved by many exceptional sea clan women, was a rare occurrence in thousands of years. Moreover, Li Su and Bai Ling’s descendants carried royal bloodlines.
Many of these exceptional sea clan women insisted on being monogamous, which regrettably resulted in the powerful bloodlines of the sea clan not being passed down. On the other hand, those who were not exceptional tend to have average descendants. Therefore, the North Sea clan had such a high demand for sacred artifacts they had an inherent deficiency and could only compensate for it through external means.
This issue was one that the North Sea clan had faced for thousands of years. This was also a significant disadvantage when comparing bloodlines and spiritual roots. Spiritual roots were more flexible – as long as there was a sufficient population base, exceptional spiritual roots could continue to be born. The birth of spiritual roots was indeed a probabilistic matter, and even without a specific pattern, it could be addressed by simply increasing the population base. However, when it came to bloodlines, the further down the line they went, the weaker they could become.
Now, the arrival of someone like Li Su had stirred the hearts of many exceptional sea clan women within the sea clan. If Li Su could form unions with exceptional sea clan women, it would allow the sea clan to have more remarkable descendants.
When Mo Qi proposed that Mo Lin marry Li Su initially, it wasn’t solely out of gratitude. With Mo Lin’s personality, if it weren’t for Li Su, she might have never married in her entire life. The Auger People clan’s population was already scarce, and Mo Lin’s true dragon bloodline would have had no way to be passed down.
So now, it was not just Mo Qi but also the sea clan kings, including even the king of the crab people, an early-stage Divine Transformation crab person, who all hoped that Li Su could marry several sea clan women. Of course, Li Su would never marry a crab woman.
After Mo Qi finished speaking, he eagerly looked at Li Su. Li Su remained silent for a few seconds and said, “As long as they are willing, there’s no issue.” Mo Qi was delighted to see Li Su’s agreement. He left the subsequent matters to unfold without his direct involvement. However, Mo Qi promised that for each sea clan woman Li Su married, the sea clans would provide a generous gift.
As a result, the second marriage ceremony in the city by the sea began quickly. This ceremony, like the previous one, was a lively and festive event. This time, Li Su married an Auger clan woman named Cai Lin. She was Mo Lin’s younger sister, a little over a decade younger than Mo Lin.
Perhaps due to the influence of true Auger blood, Mo Lin had a longer lifespan and a youthful appearance, while Cai Lin appeared a cheerful and innocent young girl. Cai Lin had two horns on her head, but they were colorful. She wore clothing that resembled a rainbow.
Compared to Mo Lin, she appeared more vibrant and lively. However, her bloodline was not as strong as Mo Lin’s. Moreover, Cai Lin had a special bloodline due to being brought back by her father after a long journey. After her transformation into an Auger, she had a colorful dragon-like aura.
Regarding strength, Cai Lin was currently at the equivalent of the late Foundation Establishment stage, which was less powerful than Mo Lin. Mo Lin’s true Auger bloodline was indeed quite formidable. It remained to be seen whether this young Auger, once her true Auger bloodline was fully developed, would become even more powerful. Li Su speculated that when Mo Lin fully developed her true Auger bloodline, she might want to challenge him to regain some face, and he was prepared for such a situation. However, Mo Lin would likely discover that Li Su’s realm had surpassed her own by then, and it was uncertain how this young Auger girl would react.
The wedding with Cai Lin was still quite grand, as the Auger clan, despite its small numbers, was one of the most powerful groups in the North Sea. Naturally, other sea clans would participate and show their support. Within the Northern Realm, upon hearing that Li Su was about to take another wife, and this time a sea clan woman, various major sects and schools once again sent representatives to participate. Even the Sect Master of the Wind and Thunder Sect came to Linhai City. However, he quickly realized that he might be unable to leave Linhai City for a long time.
Shortly after Li Su married Cai Lin, he took another concubine among the sea clans within two months. This time, it was a beautiful fourth-order sea nymph who, except for slightly paler skin, didn’t differ significantly from humans.
“Sea clan women are so beautiful. I envy Senior Li so much!”
“Senior Li has already married four of them. My goodness, can’t he stop himself in the sea clans?” In the Northern Realm, many cultivators were again discussing and astonished as they witnessed Li Su taking one sea clan woman after another.
