2376 Palace at the Bottom of the Sea!
Eventually, all Mountain Ridge Source could do was turn to Everything, who had already become one of Lin Yuan’s most important subordinates.
Lift Marsh had already carried Lin Yuan’s territory to the Marsh West Circle, so it did not take Mountain Ridge Source much effort to find Everything.
Everything chewed on Mountain Ridge Source’s words before she said seriously, “Sister Mountain Ridge Source, there isn’t a need for you to be so anxious. All you need to do is ensure that nothing goes wrong with the work that is part of your responsibility.
“I’ve always focused on doing what is expected of me, and the same goes for White Speak and East Glow. If Lord Lin Yuan needs you for anything, he will let you know directly! If you have any nefarious thoughts in the marsh world and mess up a simple situation, there is no way that things will end well for you!”
Mountain Ridge Source only pushed her thoughts back in check when she heard what Everything said.
Mountain Ridge Source could feel how frustrated and angry Vine Source, Hornless Dragon Source, and Evil Source were about Lin Yuan’s favor for Eternal Source. However, the three of them could not vent their emotions.
The Abundance Treasure Tree was still taking control of one dimensional lifeform after another.
Previously, it took ten seconds for it to take control of a Samsara Realm Dictator. But now, it only took about one to three seconds.
Vine Source and the rest felt even more fearful of Lin Yuan with every Apostle that the Abundance Treasure Tree took control of.
…
After three days of rushing along on their journey, Lin Yuan finally sensed the mermaid bloodline.
These mermaid bloodline powers that he was sensing were not pure and were very spread out. It was likely that they were not coming from a large group of mermaids.
Lin Yuan instructed Eternal Source to move toward the aura.
This was when he saw a small group of about 20 mermaids harvesting corals as well as the small fish within the corals.
Lin Yuan did not call out to them. Instead, he fused with Dark Blue despite being very far away and activated what the Dictators called the Dictator’s body.
A streak of mermaid emperor bloodline spread out within the sea.
The instant Lin Yuan transformed, he sensed all the mermaids in the group tremble collectively before they started looking around wildly.
Eventually, their eyes landed on Lin Yuan,, and they bowed over and placed their hands neatly in front of their heads as they swished their tails to swim over to Lin Yuan.
This was a similar posture to when children were respectfully waiting to receive celebratory money from their elders.
When he saw the posture of these mermaids, Lin Yuan knew that his aura could deceive not only the Goddess of Mercy but also the mermaids from the water world.
Once the mermaids swam closer, he finally understood how the inferior mermaids looked. They did not have stunning looks but were still prettier than regular people.
When the bowed mermaids stopped in front of Lin Yuan, they knelt and started to kowtow to him as though he was a celestial being.
Lin Yuan waved at these inferior mermaids and said, “How close is the nearest tribe?”
One of the inferior mermaids hurriedly said, “Head 35 degrees southwest and you’ll find our tribe 800 leagues away. Emperor, we are just a small team from the tribe who came out to search for food. If you want to find our tribe, we can take you over this instant!”
Mermaids had a similar societal structure to humans.
Mermaids naturally gathered together in tribes as they helped each other while living together in the sea.
The mermaid tribes were organized and managed by the mermaids within them, who had the most elite bloodlines. This was what was written in the main world’s records of mermaids.
Lin Yuan asked the inferior mermaid who had just spoken, “Are there mermaids in your tribe with the mermaid king bloodline?”
The mermaid immediately shook her head and said, “The First Elder of our tribe is only an intermediate mermaid. It is still far from the mermaid king bloodline you mentioned. There is also a castle 14,000 leagues south of our tribe. It is the largest city in the vicinity. That is where the mermaid kings live.”
Lin Yuan immediately instructed Eternal Source to take him to the castle.
The low and intermediate mermaids could only offer Lin Yuan very limited information.
Once he found a mermaid with the mermaid king bloodline, Lin Yuan would be able to begin his strategy surrounding Mermaid Forbidden Sea. It was highly likely that he would be able to find a way to evolve the mermaid bloodline from there.
When Eternal Source heard what Lin Yuan said, he sped off in the southwest direction to search for the mentioned tribe before he rushed to the city to the south.
Lin Yuan’s mermaid emperor bloodline was very concentrated, and the inferior mermaids dared not look at his face when he spoke.
In the mermaid world, showing respect to a mermaid who was one level higher was necessary. If the other mermaid was two levels higher, they would have to bow. If the other mermaid was three levels higher, they would not be able to meet their eyes.
Directly meeting their gaze was considered blasphemous and a betrayal to the sacred mermaid bloodline.
The inferior mermaids only lifted their heads when Lin Yuan removed his aura from the sea.
The inferior mermaids who were out to hunt were lucky enough to sense the mermaid emperor bloodline aura today. This was considered an extremely high honor.
Eternal Source was extremely fast. This was especially so once he had locked onto a target and was charging full steam ahead.
Lin Yuan had not been sitting on Eternal Source’s back for long before he caught sight of the outline of a magnificent city made of coral.
If the residence of a mermaid king was already this grand, one could only imagine how the residence of a mermaid emperor would look!
Lin Yuan did not hesitate to enter the city.
There was a complicated process to get into the city. If he did not express his identity as a mermaid emperor, the guards would never allow him and Eternal Source to enter. He would definitely cause a big stir if he tried to barge in.
Since he needed to reveal his identity regardless, Lin Yuan immediately revealed the full extent of his mermaid emperor bloodline.
The entire sea started to quake.
The sea clans that only needed to bow when they saw mermaid kings immediately fell to their knees in front of Lin Yuan’s aura.
The mermaids, who usually dared not meet the eyes of mermaid kings, immediately closed their eyes. They dared not show any signs of intending to look at him.
A mermaid wearing a thin purple shawl with pink and purple scales on her tail emerged from the palace and was approaching Lin Yuan.
It was clear from the mermaid’s attire that she had been resting. Otherwise, she would never be caught in such casual attire.
