Chapter 185
The sea clans’ sacred artifact had led to a major war tens of thousands of years ago. If the fragment was in the Blue Star Sect, how could Bihai have left the sect for so long without any concerns?
What exactly is this sacred artifact? Li Su pondered. He found an isolated spot and blew into a seashell. Soon, Bai Ling’s voice emanated from the seashell.
After a few days, Li Su appeared on the edge of the North Sea. From the seawater, Bai Ling emerged. “Bai Ling, what was the sacred artifact from thousands of years ago? What did it look like, and what was its purpose?” Li Su asked.
Bai Ling produced a special piece of paper. Upon looking at it, Li Su saw an exceptionally beautiful spring depicted on it. “What is this?” Li Su asked,
“Is this the sacred artifact, the North Sea Spring Eye?” Bai Ling replied, “Yes, that’s it, the North Sea Spring Eye.”
The phrase “North Sea Spring Eye” triggered memories of a TV show Li Su had watched before his time travel. In the show, when the ocean’s spring eye dried up, the entire ocean quickly lost its water. Did this spring eye have a similar effect? “This sacred artifact can absorb the energy of the North Sea. It can produce ten pounds of spring water each year. Consuming this spring water can enhance one’s bloodline. The lower the bloodline, the more effective it is. For the sea clans, it is crucial,” Bai Ling explained.
Li Su nodded in understanding and asked, “Have you inquired with them about what the fragment from the Bixia Sect is?”
Bai Ling replied, “There was a pearl in the spring that resembled a night pearl. It didn’t seem significant when it was not in the spring. That’s likely it.”
Li Su contemplated for a moment and said, “Wait for me here for a few days.” He quickly returned to the Bixia Sect and searched the sect’s warehouse. Bihai was inclined to hand over what the Bixia Sect had to Li Su and Li Su currently held significant authority within the Bixia Sect.
The sect’s warehouse was incredibly vast, and Li Su utilized both his eyes and his divine sense, searching for three days and nights. In the end, he discovered several dozen objects that resembled pearls. Li Su brought all these items back with him and, after a few days, returned to the Northern Sea, where he met Bai Ling again. “Bai Ling, look at these. Do you see what you’re looking for?” Li Su asked.
Bai Ling’s gaze moved from one of the pearls to another, scrutinizing them closely. Eventually, her eyes settled on one pearl, and her expression changed significantly. With a wave of her hand, Bai Ling summoned the seemingly unremarkable pearl into her palm. After removing the dust with her spiritual power, the pearl sparkled with iridescent hues when exposed to the sunlight. “This is it!” Bai Ling exclaimed, surprised at how quickly they had found it. Having seen the Northern Sea Spring with her own eyes, she knew exactly what this pearl looked like.
“Well, that settles it. I inquired about this pearl, and it’s useless to the Bixia Sect. They don’t even know what it is, only that it has some unique properties, so they stored it in the warehouse,” Li Su reiterated as he collected the other pearls. “So, take it and save your people the trouble.” Bai Ling, understanding his intention, nodded in gratitude. Bai Ling looked at Li Su and said, “Su, are you just going to give it to me like this?”
Li Su replied, “Yes, it’s of no use to us, and after hearing your story, I have a feeling there might be more to what happened in the past. But it’s been tens of thousands of years, and there’s no need to perpetuate the hatred from those days.” Bai Ling appreciated his understanding and nodded in agreement. Li Su had spoken at length, expressing his belief that there might have been more to the events of the past than met the eye. However, the passage of time has made it almost impossible to uncover the truth. Li Su’s understanding moved Bai Ling, and simply said, “Su...”
