In the center of the hall was a large round stone table, on which a complicated sea map was engraved. Under the shimmering pearl light, the sea charts slowly shimmered with a blue aura, as if they were living creatures moving on the table.
“Please sit.” Shui Wuhen motioned for everyone to sit down, and he himself took the seat of honor.
David sat at the stone table, his gaze sweeping across the wary faces of the elders around him, without saying much.
He knew that here, he was the one who needed an explanation.
“What’s your name?” Shui Wuhen asked.
“David!”
“David?”
Shui Wuhen looked at David and asked in a low voice, “How is it possible that you have the power of the water race in you?”
“I don’t know.” David shook his head, without hiding anything. “I have a trace of water power within me, which appeared when I absorbed yin energy. I don’t know exactly how I got it.”
This power, I cannot purify, nor can I eliminate. The Underworld Elder of the Underworld Abyss said that the power belonged to the aquatic race, so I came to the Void Ocean in hopes of finding the answer.
Shui Wuhen was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked towards David: “Let me see.”
David nodded, easing the chaotic power within his body, and allowing the aura of water power to flow naturally.
Shui Wuhen raised his hand, a ray of pale blue water light condensed at his fingertips, and gently pressed it against David’s chest.
When that drop of water seeped into David’s body, Shui Wuhen’s eyebrows furrowed sharply.
His fingers trembled slightly, and his deep, ocean-like eyes churned with shock and disbelief.
He could feel that the purity of the water power inside David far surpassed any ancient water power he had ever seen.
It was an existence that was like its source, more ancient and purer than the power within him, like a drop of water that concentrated the essence of an entire ocean.
“This power”
Shui Wuhen’s voice was hoarse, “It’s purer than any water origin I’ve ever seen. It’s even purer than the power in the Sea Soul Pearl.”
I’ve only ever seen records of this level of power in ancient texts. This must be an ancient power left behind by the ancestors of a nation that lived in the waters.
David frowned slightly: “The inheritance from our ancestors? Then why is it mixed with a large amount of Yin energy? And how can it be in my body?”
Shui Wuhen shook his head: “I don’t know. But I know one thing—this power is inside you. You can’t purify it, nor can you expel it. It’s like something that doesn’t belong to you, residing in your body. If you don’t face it, sooner or later it will cause problems.”
He withdrew his hand, remained silent for a long time, then said, “I have a way that might help you solve this problem.”
The elders in the hall raised their heads simultaneously, their eyes filled with vigilance and doubt.
A white-haired elderly man spoke up: “Chief, what do you want to do?”
Shui Wuhen’s gaze fell on a secret room shrouded in blue light behind the main hall, his voice calm after coming to a firm decision: “Sea Soul Pearl.”
These words caused a stir throughout the hall.
“Sea Soul Pearl?! Chief, the Sea Soul Pearl is a sacred object of the water tribe, and only one can be formed every ten thousand years!”
“That is the foundation of the aquatic race; how could it be given to outsiders?”
“Even though he saved Lan Yuan’s life, there was no need for him to use the Sea Soul Pearl!”
“After the Sea Soul Pearl is lost, it will take at least ten thousand years to form again! Chief, you have to think carefully!”
The voices of the elders rose and fell, some surprised, some angry, some confused, and some trying to persuade them to give up their thoughts.
The white-haired old man stood up, his voice trembling: “Chief, the Sea Spirit Pearl is a sacred object that the ancestors of the Water Clan have protected with their lives for centuries.”
This wasn’t just to improve cultivation; he carried the bloodline and fundamental essence of the water race. If it were simply given to cultivators from other races… the foundations of the water race would be shaken!
Shui Wuhen listened to the dissenting voices, but his expression remained unchanged.
He waited until all the noise died down before slowly speaking: “I understand what you mean. The Sea Spirit Pearl is indeed precious and cannot be used carelessly.”
But I have a question for you—where would Lan Yuan, Qian Hai, and Shen Liu be now if David never existed?
