Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!-Chapter 185

The sea clans’ sacred artifact had led to a major war tens of thousands of years ago. If the fragment was in the Blue Star Sect, how could Bihai have left the sect for so long without any concerns?

What exactly is this sacred artifact? Li Su pondered. He found an isolated spot and blew into a seashell. Soon, Bai Ling’s voice emanated from the seashell.

After a few days, Li Su appeared on the edge of the North Sea. From the seawater, Bai Ling emerged. “Bai Ling, what was the sacred artifact from thousands of years ago? What did it look like, and what was its purpose?” Li Su asked.

Bai Ling produced a special piece of paper. Upon looking at it, Li Su saw an exceptionally beautiful spring depicted on it. “What is this?” Li Su asked,

“Is this the sacred artifact, the North Sea Spring Eye?” Bai Ling replied, “Yes, that’s it, the North Sea Spring Eye.”

The phrase “North Sea Spring Eye” triggered memories of a TV show Li Su had watched before his time travel. In the show, when the ocean’s spring eye dried up, the entire ocean quickly lost its water. Did this spring eye have a similar effect? “This sacred artifact can absorb the energy of the North Sea. It can produce ten pounds of spring water each year. Consuming this spring water can enhance one’s bloodline. The lower the bloodline, the more effective it is. For the sea clans, it is crucial,” Bai Ling explained.

This was significant. Enhancing the bloodline was less challenging compared to enhancing the spirit roots. If there were excellent natural treasures or spiritual materials from heaven and earth, they could enhance bloodlines. Then, as one’s strength increased, one could gradually make one’s bloodline more concentrated. Enhancing spirit roots, on the other hand, was much more challenging.

This didn’t mean that bloodlines were superior to spirit roots, though. There was one major issue– It was extremely challenging to propagate higher-tier bloodlines, and this process was typically a family-oriented inheritance. When two individuals with lower-tier bloodlines had offspring, the bloodline quality tended to decline.

Spirit roots, on the other hand, work differently. Even two ordinary individuals had the potential to give birth to someone with spiritual roots. As long as the population was large enough, good spirit roots could continue to emerge without restrictions. In theory, anyone had the opportunity to possess spiritual roots. Unlike bloodlines, only a small fraction of people would ever have high-level bloodlines.

The more powerful the bloodline, the fewer individuals possessed it. For example, among the various aquatic races, the dragonkin had particularly formidable bloodlines, but they were the smallest in number.

“How was your sacred artifact stolen back then?” Li Su inquired, “Back then, the aquatic race sought to establish friendly relations and alliances with the Northern Territories, even initiating trade. We invited numerous celestial sects to visit the sacred city of the aquatic race. However, someone tampered with our Northern Sea Spring during this time.”

“After discovering that the spring had been tampered with, we went to the Northern Territories to demand answers, but no one admitted responsibility, and no one was willing to return it. We had no choice but to wage war to force the humans to give it back.” Bai Ling explained, “As for the final events, how was the Northern Sea Spring found and shattered?” Li Su asked again, and Bai Ling shook her head, saying, “I don’t know. Back then, I led the Mermaid as we stormed the Northern Territories along with a massive wave. I encountered a wounded Nascent Divinity cultivator who had killed many of my people. I pursued him, only to be trapped within that celestial sect’s domain.”

Li Su nodded in understanding and asked, “Have you inquired with them about what the fragment from the Bixia Sect is?”

Bai Ling replied, “There was a pearl in the spring that resembled a night pearl. It didn’t seem significant when it was not in the spring. That’s likely it.”

Li Su contemplated for a moment and said, “Wait for me here for a few days.” He quickly returned to the Bixia Sect and searched the sect’s warehouse. Bihai was inclined to hand over what the Bixia Sect had to Li Su and Li Su currently held significant authority within the Bixia Sect.

The sect’s warehouse was incredibly vast, and Li Su utilized both his eyes and his divine sense, searching for three days and nights. In the end, he discovered several dozen objects that resembled pearls. Li Su brought all these items back with him and, after a few days, returned to the Northern Sea, where he met Bai Ling again. “Bai Ling, look at these. Do you see what you’re looking for?” Li Su asked.

Bai Ling’s gaze moved from one of the pearls to another, scrutinizing them closely. Eventually, her eyes settled on one pearl, and her expression changed significantly. With a wave of her hand, Bai Ling summoned the seemingly unremarkable pearl into her palm. After removing the dust with her spiritual power, the pearl sparkled with iridescent hues when exposed to the sunlight. “This is it!” Bai Ling exclaimed, surprised at how quickly they had found it. Having seen the Northern Sea Spring with her own eyes, she knew exactly what this pearl looked like.

“Well, that settles it. I inquired about this pearl, and it’s useless to the Bixia Sect. They don’t even know what it is, only that it has some unique properties, so they stored it in the warehouse,” Li Su reiterated as he collected the other pearls. “So, take it and save your people the trouble.” Bai Ling, understanding his intention, nodded in gratitude. Bai Ling looked at Li Su and said, “Su, are you just going to give it to me like this?” freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Li Su replied, “Yes, it’s of no use to us, and after hearing your story, I have a feeling there might be more to what happened in the past. But it’s been tens of thousands of years, and there’s no need to perpetuate the hatred from those days.” Bai Ling appreciated his understanding and nodded in agreement. Li Su had spoken at length, expressing his belief that there might have been more to the events of the past than met the eye. However, the passage of time has made it almost impossible to uncover the truth. Li Su’s understanding moved Bai Ling, and simply said, “Su…”
