"I have a way to allow you to still clearly perceive this world after your 'sacrifice,' and even... to 'exist' here to some extent..."
"oh?"
The Deep Sea Whale King narrowed his one eye, the Demon Emperor also showed a curious expression, and even Lan Fuzi blinked his big eyes and looked over.
Jiang Zhen said no more, and a thought crossed his mind.
A surge of immense spiritual power and ultimate water soul power erupted, rapidly condensing, compressing, and shaping before him!
This time, he poured more mental and spiritual energy into it than ever before, striving for perfection.
Soon, two lifelike Pure Water Phantom Spirits appeared in the main hall.
One is a miniature version of the deep-sea whale, its entire body composed of deep blue-black water, with every scale clearly visible.
One was an elegant and slender purple-striped demonic whale with smooth lines, surrounded by a faint purple halo and mysterious demonic patterns, perfectly matching the Demon Emperor's temperament.
These two phantom spirits are not only lifelike in appearance, but also exceptionally lively because they have been infused with a large amount of Jiang Zhen's spiritual imprint and simulated their original aura, as if they have the foundation of life.
"This is…"
The Deep Sea Whale King and the Demon Emperor stepped forward simultaneously, their eyes blazing with astonishing light.
With their cultivation level, they instantly sensed the strong affinity and inclusiveness of this body constructed of pure water for soul power!
"This is my self-created soul skill - Pure Water Illusion Spirit."
Jiang Zhen explained,
"It can serve as the perfect temporary abode for the soul. If you two seniors are willing to believe me, after the sacrifice, the soul can temporarily reside in this specially made phantom spirit."
"I can guarantee that I will never trap your souls within the soul rings and soul bones to sleep, but will allow you to always manifest in the outside world, perceive the heavens and earth, and move freely."
His gaze swept over the three powerful soul beasts, and he extended an even more enticing invitation: "Moreover, you can also travel with me to the human continent."
"And you can leave Miss Lan some backup plan."
"After you make your sacrifice, let her supervise my cultivation and see if I am worthy of your entrustment of this high-stakes gamble."
"It's better than sitting here in the deep sea, waiting for that uncertain and dangerous calamity that will last for millions of years."
This proposal struck the deepest part of the hearts of the Deep Sea Whale King and the Demon Emperor like a bolt of lightning!
Not only can it preserve the soul's consciousness, but it can also... personally oversee the progress of this high-stakes gamble?!
This is far more real and tempting than a vague promise or vow!
The Deep Sea Whale King stared intently at the demon whale phantom that represented him, then glanced at the phantoms that resembled his wife and daughter, his chest heaving violently.
He has lived for over 300,000 years and is already accustomed to everything in the deep sea, but that doesn't mean he has no curiosity about the unknown or no desire for freedom.[Note:Not cultivation but literal age.]
In particular, this could be a path leading to a new life, where you can see different scenery!
He looked at Jiang Zhen again, and the doubt and hostility in his eyes were gradually replaced by a complex expression that mixed with shock, weighing, and final decision.
The Demon Emperor gently grasped her husband's hand, her purple eyes gleaming with interest, and nodded slightly to him.
The Deep Sea Whale King took a deep breath, and that breath seemed to drain the seawater within a hundred meters around him.
He abruptly raised his head, his single eye filled with a resolute determination, and nodded heavily, his voice like muffled thunder, shaking the entire palace:
"Very well! I... will take this bet with you! My entire family of three will wager on you!"
The gamble paid off!
...
With the Deep Sea Whale King's decision made, the hall fell into a brief silence, save for the low, mournful murmur of the deep sea currents, which seemed to be placing bets on this high-stakes gamble.
The Deep Sea Whale King exhaled a long, heavy breath, as if it had carried millions of years.
He looked at Jiang Zhen, the sharpness in his single eye softening slightly, replaced by a solemn expression of entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.
"This matter is of great importance, and I need some time to arrange clan affairs. You should go and rest in the side hall first."
The Deep Sea Whale King's voice regained its usual composure, but the weight it carried was completely different.
Jiang Zhen nodded understandingly: "That's how it should be, please go ahead, senior."
He knew that the sudden departure of a ruler who dominated the Demon Whale Sea was not a simple matter of leaving on a whim; it required proper arrangements and explanations.
A deep-sea demon whale appeared silently and respectfully led Jiang Zhen to a side hall on one side of the palace to rest.
The Deep Sea Whale King exchanged a glance with the Demon Emperor, and their figures instantly disappeared from the hall.
They need to summon the elders and strong members of the clan. Although they cannot reveal their true destination and purpose, they need to make arrangements that will stabilize the clan for many years to come.
Lan Fuzi obediently followed behind her parents. Although she was still young, as a princess, she needed to know and participate in some matters.
...
Several hours later, as the rays of the setting sun began to painstakingly penetrate tens of thousands of meters of seawater, dyeing the deep sea a hazy and magnificent dark red, everything was arranged.
The massive gates of the Deep Sea Whale King's palace slowly opened, and four figures flew out and quickly rose to the surface.
Boom!
The sea surface split open, and four figures soared into the sky, hovering above the boundless ocean.
Leading the group was the Deep Sea Whale King, who had transformed into human form. His imposing body was bathed in the setting sun, making him resemble a war god of the sea.
He gazed down at the territory he had ruled for countless years, his eyes filled with complex emotions: longing, relief, and a hint of resolute determination toward the unknown future.
The Demon Emperor stood quietly beside him, her long purple hair swaying gently in the sea breeze. She held her husband's arm softly, silently conveying her support.
Lan Fuzi looked around curiously. Coming from the deep sea to the surface, her view suddenly opened up, making her both excited and a little nervous.
Jiang Zhen hovered to the side, waiting quietly.
He understood what this moment meant for the Deep Sea Whale King and his family.
The Deep Sea Whale King gazed silently for a long time, its enormous single eye seemingly trying to etch the entire ocean scene into the depths of its soul.
Finally, he withdrew his gaze, all his emotions turning into a low but firm sigh.
Let's go.
Without saying a word, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the mainland.
The Demon Emperor followed closely behind.
Lan Fuzi flew to Jiang Zhen's side. It seemed that because her parents had made the final decision and she had left the oppressive deep sea, her natural liveliness gradually overcame her previous restraint and complicated emotions.
She tilted her head curiously to look at Jiang Zhen, her light blue hair shimmering in the sunset.
"Hey, Jiang Zhen,"
She spoke softly, her tone filled with curiosity.
"What is the human continent like...? Are there really many fun things there? Are there many places like the Vast Sea City?"
She had only been to Vast Sea City and knew nothing about the depths of the mainland.
Jiang Zhen looked at her eyes, which had regained their luster, smiled slightly, and answered as he flew:
"The mainland is vast, with many places more interesting than Vast Sea City."
"There are towering mountains, boundless forests, and a magnificent metropolis that is incredibly prosperous and can accommodate millions of people..."
"There you'll find exotic treasures from all over the world, delicious food, and all sorts of interesting festivals and events..."
He described the landscape of the continent simply, avoiding the battles between Soul Masters and only mentioning the novel and interesting things.
Lan Fuzi's eyes lit up as she listened, and she exclaimed in amazement every now and then, "Wow! Millions of people living together? That must be so lively!"
"What else is good to eat? Is it better than grilled fish?"
Her questions came one after another, filled with longing for the unknown world.
Jiang Zhen patiently answered all of them.
The setting sun cast their shadows long, long across the shimmering sea.
Ahead, the outline of the continent gradually becomes clear, while behind, the vast deep blue sky recedes into the distance.
This peculiar combination, bathed in the golden afterglow of the setting sun, flew towards a continent full of unknowns and hope.
The sea breeze carried the scent of distant lands, and also stirred the girl's light blue hair and the boy's blue and white robes...
