Chapter 180

Li Su noticed that some sea tribes displayed fewer human characteristics, such as a massive crab-like creature with a human-like upper body covered in a hard shell and crab claws for hands. These beings resembled a crab general.

“Some sea tribes don’t necessarily result from combining humans with other beings. For instance, the crab people, in ancient times, humans were stranded in the deep sea and relied on crabs for sustenance. Over time, they transformed into crab-like beings,” Bai Ling explained, noticing Li Su’s curiosity.

“The sea tribes that retain the most human bloodlines are the Mermaids, snake people, dragon folk, and a few sea nymphs,” Bai Ling added.

Li Su nodded in understanding.

The sea vessel was nearing the plaza. Suddenly, in the distance, a dark sea dragon swiftly swam past them, outpacing the sea vessel.

A black sea dragon!

Li Su recognized it. This was the same black sea dragon he had driven away! It appeared that this black sea dragon had also participated in the Bai Ling’s ceremony.

“Who is she?” Li Su inquired.

“She’s the most exceptional prodigy of the dragon folk lineage, rumored to possess the blood of the true dragons. She already has the power of the fifth stage, comparable to your Nascent Soul stage,” Bai Ling explained.

Further ahead, the black sea dragon had landed on the plaza, where some Mermaids welcomed her.

They observed the rapid transformation of the black sea dragon, which soon changed from a massive dragon hundreds of meters long into a small girl standing about one meter or so in height. She was dressed in black attire and had horns on her head.

The transformation was so significant that the difference was quite striking.

“This is a secret art of the dragon folk, the ‘Dragon Transformation.’ The stronger a dragon person’s bloodline, the more powerful the dragon they can transform into. With the blood of a true dragon at a certain stage, they can even transform into a real dragon,” Bai Ling explained.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

“However, as our daughter grows, she won’t be any less formidable,” Bai Ling commented.

A dragon!

This was a type of dragon and a particularly potent one at that. In the legends of this world, there were indeed creatures like dragons and phoenixes, but ordinary people rarely encountered them.

As soon as she appeared in the sight of the Mermaid, the gentleness Bai Ling had displayed while with Li Su vanished. She once again assumed her role as the Mermaid Queen.

Li Su followed closely behind her, and none of the Mermaids questioned his presence.

“Caiying, during the ceremony, you’ll protect Su and provide answers to any questions he might have,” Bai Ling instructed one of the mermaids.

“Yes, Your Highness,” the mermaid Caiying replied before following Li Su.

“Su, please follow me,” she said.

It appeared that Bai Ling needed to prepare for the ceremony.

So, Li Su followed Caiying into the palace.

Once inside, Li Su noticed that there were already a significant number of sea creatures in the palace.

Mermaids made up a substantial portion of the attendees, but there were also many other sea tribes present.

From what Bai Ling had mentioned, there were six Mermaid tribes in total, and each of these tribes likely had more than one fourth-stage Mermaid, perhaps even more than one.

It seemed that the recovery of the sea tribes was faster than that of the Northern Territory. Despite being boiled by powerful beings using Dao artifacts thousands of years ago, the ocean’s vital capacity was much greater than the land’s.

In that case, the sea tribes of the North Sea were likely much stronger than those in the Northern Territory. The number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators probably exceeded that of the Northern Territory, and it was uncertain whether they had cultivators beyond the Nascent Soul stage.

“She’s over there,” Li Su saw the little black-clad girl. Although she was petite, her figure was remarkably voluptuous. She sat there with an icy demeanor, and no one dared to approach her.

Despite her cute appearance, her presence exuded an overpowering aura.

“Dang~”

The ceremony began.

This grand celebration lasted a whole day, marking the unification of the six Mermaid tribes under Bai Ling’s rule as their queen. At that moment, when Bai Ling took her seat on the White Jade Throne, it signified the merger of the six Mermaid tribes, all recognizing her as their queen. Bai Ling had officially become the Mermaid Queen.
