Chapter 2364 Festive

As Emery returned to the Shambala Underwater Kingdom, he was greeted by a grand spectacle—a lively feast. The shimmering halls of the kingdom were adorned with glowing corals and bioluminescent plants that illuminated the water around them, creating a surreal, enchanting atmosphere. Long tables covered in exotic sea delicacies. Vibrant plates of seaweed salads, marinated kelp, and rare underwater fruits, some glowing faintly, others pulsating with energy, were arranged in intricate patterns. Crystal clams served with golden pearls inside and giant sea snails cooked in fragrant herbs filled the air with rich, unfamiliar aromas. The food was as much a visual experience as it was for taste, appealing to all senses simultaneously.

Hundreds of mermen, mermaids, and fishfolk—creatures with fins and scales of every hue imaginable—swam gracefully around the feast. They laughed and conversed, their voices echoing through the water like a melody, adding to the festive ambiance. Music played from instruments made of seashells and coral, the tones soft and haunting, carried by the currents.

Despite the jovial mood, Emery was a bit taken aback by the abrupt shift in tone. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Just hours ago, Supreme Lord Quatukan had put him through a life-threatening test. Now, the Sea Sovereign sat at the head of the feast, his imposing figure relaxed and joyful, calling his closest confidants to join the celebration. His mood was infectious, and it wasn't long before those around him joined in hearty conversation.

In the middle of the hall, Emery saw Grand Magus Neytiri, her commanding presence softened by the festive atmosphere. She was dressed in intricately woven seaweed garments, her skin shimmering like the surface of the water under moonlight.

As Emery approached, he noticed another figure standing near Neytiri.

Standing tall and imposing, a muscular Grand Magus hybrid, his body covered in gleaming crystal blue shells, exuded a familiar yet chilling presence. Emery's eyes widened in surprise as he realized who this Grand Magus was. It was the same massive godly-level beast he had fought mere hours ago.

The question lingered in his mind: Was this due to the Elixir?

With this thought in mind, Emery cautiously explained that he could not guarantee a constant supply of the elixir, not at the moment. His current focus was tied to fulfilling a request for the insectoid race, which took precedence over any other commitments.

The female Grand Magus, however, dispelled his concerns, revealing that the Supreme Lord was a straightforward figure. He helped those he liked and showed no mercy to those he did not. There were no elaborate schemes at play. One of the reasons behind the Supreme Lord's favor was tied to Emery's rising prominence. His name had spread far and wide, especially among the half-bloods.

Neytiri shows a hint of amusement, "Instructor Emery... don't you realize how famous you are now? Especially among us half-bloods?"

Emery was momentarily taken aback by the statement. He had been aware of his public challenge to Nephilim Hall and knew that defeating their apostles had drawn significant attention. However, his focus had been on his training for the past six months, and he had paid little mind to the broader impact of his actions. Now, it dawned on him that his growing fame had reached even the ears of a Supreme being like the Sea Sovereign.

The visit to Shambala Kingdom concluded on a note of mutual cooperation. The agreement reached would benefit both sides: Emery would provide a regular supply of elixirs for the Fishmen. In return, the kingdom would contribute valuable genetic material to his Supreme Gene Research, further advancing the project. Additionally, the Shambala Kingdom agreed to openly trade their rare underwater resources with his apothecary shops.

After concluding the agreement, Emery and Klea left the vast underwater kingdom, traveling swiftly back to the academy hall.

Upon their return, Emery wasted no time heading straight into his domain, eager to make use of the newfound sea materials he had acquired. Among them was the one he got from the academy, the [Spring Lotus Fruit].
