“That’s how it should be.”
David’s voice contained a hint of certainty, “Sea creatures have long lived in oceans polluted with yin energy, accumulating large amounts of yin energy in their bodies.”
After aquatic cultivators hunted and ate those sea beasts, yin energy would enter their bodies and erode their meridians and dantian.
The closer the sea creatures were to the source of pollution, the more concentrated their yin energy would be, and the more severe the poisoning would occur after consuming them.
Shui Wuhen was silent for a long time, his gaze fixed on the seawater outside the clinic, which was roiling in turquoise light. His voice was hoarse and deep: “You’re right. In recent months, there has indeed been large-scale Yin energy pollution in the sea around Deep Blue City.”
The number of polluted marine mammals is increasing, and our aquatic food sources are rapidly diminishing.
Some members of the tribe, due to scarcity, were forced to take the risk of hunting sea creatures that clearly emitted a polluting odor, resulting in mass poisoning, coma, and even death, as seen today.
“30% of our hunting lands are polluted.”
A white-haired old man stepped forward, his voice filled with deep exhaustion, “If this continues, the entire Deep Blue City will face a crisis.”
But we have no way to overcome it; yin energy is too stubborn. We tried to purify it with holy water, but the effect was minimal.
That yin energy, like poisonous vines that have taken root, continues to spread and expand, devouring the last remaining space for us to survive.
David looked at the young water cultivators who had just awakened and their faces were still pale, his purple eyes filled with a thoughtful light.
He could feel an unbroken connection between the yin energy and the demon souls deep within the Sea of Void and in the crevices of the Underworld Abyss.
The cracks, the eerie atmosphere, the polluted sea creatures, the suffering of aquatic life—it all points to the same source.
If left unchecked, pollution will only spread wider, and the living space of aquatic creatures will continue to shrink until they have nowhere to go, until this dark blue city becomes a ghost town.
“I’ll help you.”
David’s voice was calm and firm, “I can absorb that Yin energy. My Chaos Power can purify all kinds of foreign energy, be it the power of the water race or the Yin energy, everything will return to its origin.”
“I will deal with the polluted water around Deep Blue City. Give me some time, and I will cleanse all the negative energy.”
Shui Wuhen looked at David, his deep, ocean-like eyes filled with complex emotions.
He didn’t answer immediately, but looked at David for a long time: “Are you sure? Even the water tribe’s holy water can’t purify that yin energy. Wouldn’t absorbing so much yin energy harm you?”
“You are not a water cultivator. Even though you have fused with the Sea Spirit Pearl, the foundation of your strength is still the power of chaos.”
David smiled, there was a hint of confidence in his smile: “The Yin Energy I absorbed in the Underworld Abyss Crack was a hundred times more concentrated than this.”
The violence and corruption in that yin energy is much more intense and corrosive than here, but I can digest it all, so this bit of yin energy can’t harm me.
Moreover, the chaotic power within me has just fused with the power of the Sea Soul Pearl, and requires external energy to help it integrate and purify itself.
Shui Wuhen was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: “Okay. I will have someone take you to that polluted sea area. But remember—if you feel like you can’t hold on, stop immediately.”
The water race already owes you a favor; we can’t let you risk your life for them. If something happens to you, I won’t be able to face any water cultivator.”
David nodded without saying anything else.
He turned and walked out of the clinic, his gray robe waving gently in the water, like a silent shadow, passing by the surviving water cultivators, and swimming towards the outskirts of Deep Blue City.
Behind him, Shui Wuhen watched his retreating figure, his gaze lingering on him for a long time.
Those deep, ocean-like eyes surged with light that rose and fell like the tides.
He muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it: “The Sea Soul Pearl has chosen him. Perhaps, the person the water tribe has been waiting for ten thousand years has finally appeared.”
