From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 215 - 210: Boundless Azure Sea

"Is this...the Green Tide Pearl?"

Li Quanqing recognized the bead above the old clan leader’s head at a glance. It was an ancient family heirloom of the Li Family, passed down for a thousand years, and of immeasurable value.

"Exactly, this is the most important legacy of our Green Jade Li Family, absolutely essential and cannot be taken from the family residence unless it is a matter of life and death, to prevent any accidents."

"So after I leave, you will be in charge of this object, refining it with your mana. By doing so, our family will have a greater assurance of stability."

Li Zongyao spoke with a serious voice, sensing the fluctuating aura emanating from Li Quanqing, his face showing considerable relief: "I see your cultivation level, just a step away from breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. It would be perfect for you to use the power of the Green Tide Pearl to gain some early insight."

The power of the Green Tide Pearl is terrifying indeed; it has the ability to allow a Qi Refining cultivator to prematurely possess the mana cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment realm, fighting above their class.

Even after a Great Foundation Establishment Cultivator refines it, they too can break through a minor realm, enhancing combat power out of nowhere.

Li Quanqing did not decline; practicing the Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill, he was the natural fit to inherit the Green Tide Pearl.

Likewise, he was also the most powerful contender for the position of the next Clan Leader.

He took the pearl, which was about the size of a lychee, jade-green and octagonal with hanging tassels, its endless light scattering like rain, transforming into a sea of azure dawn.

Li Quanqing held the Green Tide Pearl in his hand, and with just an initial touch, he felt the Azure Sea Magic Power within him surge tumultuously, even his Canghai Whale Emperor Technique responding.

Curiously peering into the pearl, he saw endless ripples of light, as if revealing a vast Hanhai realm within.

Amidst it, there were raging waves, each layer towering over the previous, the azure sea boundless, seemingly composed of infinite runes exuding a sense of great and profound ancient mystery.

But when Li Quanqing looked closer, he realized that all runes had disappeared, leaving only the countless azure waves rippling away.

How strange!

With a raised eyebrow, Li Quanqing immediately thought to delve deeper, contemplating the mysteries within.

It is known that the Li Family’s Azure Sea Tide Generation Skill stopped at the Foundation Establishment Chapter, but he always felt as if something was missing, that it had to contain the secrets of the Golden Core.

Now it seemed, perhaps they were hidden within this Green Tide Pearl.

Seeing him resonate with the treasure bead, Li Zongyao also felt relieved: "The Ten Thousand Fish Pond also needs your presence. Should any core member of the family use the Fish Mirror to call for help, you must deal with it promptly."

"Similarly, the Fish Mirror itself requires the presence of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to suppress it. You must allocate two hours each day to extract the essence of the jellyfish and use it to refine that strand of Gui Water True Evil."

Li Quanqing nodded in succession, suddenly realizing that the position of Clan Leader was not an easy one to occupy; there were so many things to take care of that he would have to sit by the Ten Thousand Fish Pond every day.

Fortunately, he was a steadfast cultivator who could withstand loneliness and had a patient disposition, accustomed to spending his days in the company of the fish pond.

After all, compared to the Human Clan, beastlings were much simpler to deal with; straightforward in their thoughts, without too many schemes and deceits.

That very night, the old clan chief and the others set off, taking a Second Rank Spirit Boat, loaded with cultivators, slowly heading towards the Shuihua Sword Sect.

"Quanqing, you haven’t visited Shuihua Sword Island before, have you? You’ve never witnessed the prosperity and splendor of a Golden Core Sect firsthand."

Li Kunlun also watched the cultivators depart, his words tinged with regret.

"Didn’t I visit the Biwu Sect before? They are both Golden Core Sects, so I imagine the difference isn’t major. Far from the power of the family grotto heaven that gives me peace of mind."

"I believe that one day, the Green Jade Li Family will also reach the same heights, or even completely surpass them."

Li Quanqing spoke, holding the Green Tide Pearl in his palm, his heart free of much regret.

A Golden Core Sect, no matter how prosperous, did not belong to him; rather, his own fish pond felt much closer to the heart.

"Well said, that day won’t be too far off."

Li Kunlun also smiled, returning to his solitary cultivation within the secret realm, changing his cultivation techniques and taking slow yet firm steps toward the Golden Core Dao.

In the blink of an eye, the vast Qingyu Cave Heaven was left with only Li Quanqing, feeling empty and desolate.

He circled the fish pond and Jade Dragon Pond, feeding the fish, then went to the depths of the Ten Thousand Fish Pond.

He had been here many times before, but now it felt truly his own, which was somewhat unsettling.

The hundreds of acres of pond water rippled azure, vast like a blue sea; the domain map in the water had expanded to encompass thirty thousand miles of sea area.

It was the entire sea area map of the Shuihua Sword Sect, vast and boundless, revealing that although the old Clan Leader spoke humbly, his ambitions were quite grand.

The pond was home to variously patterned big carp, leisurely swirling in the water, these were the core members who held the Fish Mirror capable of sending messages over thousands of miles and could call for help here.

"Alas, the family’s strength is still insufficient. If everyone could possess a Fish Mirror, that would be a truly glorious sight."

Li Quanqing’s heart swelled with many aspirations.

The vast and boundless sea makes communication extremely difficult, and such a treasure that can connect people thousands of miles away is undoubtedly the foundation of the family’s strength and stable rule.

Unfortunately, each Fish Mirror is precious, requiring a great deal of treasures to be consumed. Currently, the family can only afford to provide them to some core members.

Li Quanqing walked on the waves and headed to the deeper part of the Ten Thousand Fish Pond, where he saw a solitary reef on which a huge treasure mirror stood, covered with rust, emanating an ancient and majestic aura.

This is the true form of the Fish Mirror, of course. Li Quanqing had previously received a strand of information from the Artifact Spirit when he accepted the inheritance.

This bronze ancient mirror should perhaps more aptly be called the "Heavenly Mirror," it’s just that for some unknown reason, the name has been deliberately concealed by the Clan Leader.

"Heavenly One..."

Li Quanqing caressed the copper rust on the mirror, and strands of Mana blossomed in the palm of his hand, easily catching glimpses of the scenes within.

He saw that deep within the Heavenly Mirror, it subdued a blue-black Gui Water True Evil, which was mostly formed, drawing Essence Qi from the jellyfish in the sea water.

The combination of the Green Tide Pearl and the Gui Water True Evil is the true foundation that has allowed the Li Family’s lineage to continue without interruption for a thousand years.

After a millenary accumulation of heritage, the Li Family is finally at the brink of a breakthrough, destined to welcome an unparalleled glory of its own.

Li Quanqing touched his Qiankun Bracelet, with the Mystic Water Essence at hand, his path to the Golden Core Dao was already within reach.

He took out the Heavenly One Spirit Liquid, and as its essence was released bit by bit, the copper mirror indeed responded, glowing with a water-blue spiritual tide brilliance, as if breathing, conveying waves of longing.

Li Quanqing flicked this drop of Spiritual Liquid into the mirror, and it indeed had an effect. The sound of waves surged unpredictably, helping to accelerate the formation of the Gui Water True Evil.

"More... more... want...!"

Deep within the Heavenly Mirror, a bewildered consciousness was awakening, like a newborn spiritual embryo, exuding a sense of youthful information.

"One drop per day, no more." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Li Quanqing decisively refused; had it not been for his Cultivation reaching a bottleneck, making further progress difficult, he wouldn’t have spent Spiritual Liquid so extravagantly to nourish the Artifact Spirit.

He sat cross-legged on the reef, and the Heavenly Mirror seemed to sense his presence, voluntarily shone brighter, gathering the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth into a vast burst of Essence Qi that surged like waves.

"Chant!!"

Even the Green Pan Array Spirit was startled; after all, this was the heart of the Guardian Clan Formation, and the Essence Qi of the whole Third Rank Spirit Veins converged here, rolling forward mightily, sufficient to support the practice of a Golden Core True Master.

"Not bad, such a sensible Artifact Spirit."

Li Quanqing nodded with satisfaction, cradling the Green Tide Pearl in his palm, Mana surging through his meridians, and began slowly refining.

The whole process went smoothly, and after about two hours, the Green Tide Pearl suddenly shone brightly.

Like a small sun appearing here, it pulled the waves of the Boundless Azure Sea from all directions, causing ripples in the pond water and creating waves that encircled him.

Li Quanqing sat in tranquility, bathed in the glow of the pearl, his body’s aura churning, Mana boiling, roaring past.

With one last push, he broke through some unseen limit, his aura greatly increased, reaching a brand new realm.

Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

"What a powerful feeling!"

Li Quanqing opened his eyes, and from his pupils shot forth rays of light a foot long, like two bolts of lightning streaking across the room, illuminating all around.

With the boost from the Green Tide Pearl, he had successfully crossed that threshold, reaching an unprecedented level of strength.

This was without a doubt of great benefit to his self-initiated breakthrough.

Humming!!

The Green Tide Pearl hummed, slowly levitating and finally turning into a stream of light that drilled into his Mud Pill Palace.

He saw the Divine Sense little figure sitting cross-legged, and suddenly there was a pearl between its brows. Observing it with Divine Sense, he instantly gained new insights.

Within the pearl, countless Runes circulated, waves surging, conjuring thousands of colossal waves, and mysteriously probing out some indescribable circulating information.

"Boundless Azure Sea!"
