Scattering into Bubbles?

Heidel is panicking.

After all, he suspected that the mermaid's target was him.

Although it seemed from the Sea Princess's words that she wanted to find a Soul Master whose Martial Soul was Rubik's Cube Octopus to help her, he had heard the whole argument between Ariel and the Sea Princess.

Poseidon of the Sea God...

Becoming a god through faith...

He knows far too much, like this!

Meanwhile, another group of captured humans seemed to be connected to the Sea Princess's sister and had even obtained the Star of the Ocean... Although Heidel didn't know what the Star of the Ocean was, he guessed that simply snatching it would be useless, otherwise the Sea Princess would have taken the Star of the Ocean immediately instead of giving them the Water Repelling Bead to curry favor.

But he, his son, and his crew were perhaps not so lucky.

He thought that meeting a mermaid meant good luck, but he never expected that mermaids, or even the legendary Sea God, also followed the law of the jungle.

"It's alright."

Princess Hua smiled gently at Zhou Qing, "Being able to obtain the Star of the Ocean proves that you are recognized by the Will of the Ocean, and you may be able to inherit the Divine Throne of the Sea God in the future."

"Sorry, I have no interest in becoming a god," Zhou Qing shook his head. "Could you send us back to Vast Sea City?"

"Sure."

The Sea Princess laughed and said, "However, since we've come all this way to this underwater world, it would be a shame not to have some fun. As the master of this Ice Sea, I must do my part as a host."

Without waiting for Zhou Qing and the others to say anything more, she arranged for several beautiful mermaids to lead Zhou Qing and his group down.

Ariel followed them.

A group of younger mermaids tried to stop them, but were stopped by the Sea Princess.

It's not that Ariel still holds a position among the Mermaid Clan, but rather that she is the Daughter of the Sea and is protected by the Will of the Ocean.

The Sea Princess, who possesses the Bloodline Power, could clearly perceive this.

As long as Ariel retains the identity of "Daughter of the Sea," recognized by the Great Sea, even the power of the Sea God cannot harm her in the ocean; otherwise, the Sea God would also suffer a backlash.

And what about her, the Sea Princess?

Although she possessed the Bloodline Power, and over the course of 20,000 years her bloodline evolved towards the Sea Bloodline, it was never perfect. There was a barrier that could never be erased, preventing her from ever truly getting close to the Will of the Ocean.

Therefore, even though Ariel returned to the Mermaid Clan, the Sea Princess could not forcibly stop her from leaving if she wanted to.

Eliminate Ariel—

With her cultivation of over 600,000 years, crushing a fish was as easy as it was for her.

But what happens after you kill them?

The Sea Princess will be rejected by the entire Great Sea, and may even implicate the entire Mermaid Clan.

She could disregard her own Life, but she could never ignore the lives of her two daughters.

After Zhou Qing and his group left, Heidel was filled with fear and apprehension, wondering how Sea Princess would treat him.

"Human, what's your name?"

The Sea Princess felt a pang of heartache when she saw that her two daughters had lost their usual smiles, but she still had to ask about the Rubik's Cube Octopus.

"Heidel! My name is Heidel!"

Heidel hurriedly replied, "My Martial Soul is indeed an octopus, but not Rubik's Cube Octopus. It's just a mutation of an ordinary octopus, so I'm afraid it won't be of much help to you... Please, Your Highness the Sea Princess, grant me, my son, and my crew... No, the crew can stay and serve your esteemed Mermaid Clan. Just spare my son's and my lives."

A regular octopus?

The Sea Princess despised Heidel's cowardice and made him release his Martial Soul. After confirming that they were not the Rubik's Cube Octopus, she said no more to Heidel and simply ordered her men to take them away and keep them under close watch.

This person knows too much. If we release him, he might speak recklessly and tarnish the faith of the Sea God. If we keep him, he can be used to propagate the Mermaid Clan.

After all, there are many female Mermaid Clan and relatively few males. In fact, the birth rate of male mermaids has been decreasing over the past 20,000 years.

Reason?

The Sea Princess had a guess that it was because she had accepted the power of the Sea God to strip away Ariel's Bloodline Power... Even so, the Sea Bloodline still existed in the Great Sea, only in a different person. But every drop of water in the Great Sea actually had "memory," Great Sea's own will clearly sensed that its "beloved daughter" had been persecuted.

Therefore, the Mermaid Clan is cursed by the Great Sea itself, which has led to a decrease in the fertility of the males in their race.

Fortunately, the Mermaid Clan is a half-human, half- Sea Soul Beast, and they can also borrow sperm from humans. Children born in this way are also mermaids.

Heidel, his son, and his crew were all considered by the Sea Princess as a seed bank for the future reproduction of the Mermaid Clan, and would be well cared for...

On the other side.

Ariel swam to the few mermaids who were leading the way, suddenly flicked her tail, stirred up the undercurrent, and sent them flying. Then, her whole body emitted a white light, dissipated, and turned into a bubble, enveloping Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, and the others, and they disappeared.

"Oh no! They've escaped!"

"Search immediately!"

The mermaids became extremely anxious and summoned all the nearby mermaids.

And what about Zhou Qing and the others?

Ariel had led them to their original cell. Since the guards outside had also been summoned to search the area, there were no mermaids guarding it.

The crew of the Mermaid were still asleep—the mermaid's song was far too hypnotic for ordinary people and Soul Scholar.

"What kind of ability is this?"

The ability to turn into bubbles and disappear without a trace, and to take people with them in Teleportation -like manner, made Zhou Qing extremely eager.

"This is an innate ability of the Sea Bloodline, which allows me to freely switch between human form and bubble form."

Ariel herself couldn't explain the specifics, only that she was born with this ability. "After dispersing into bubbles, I can find gaps between seawater to move around, and I can also move with you. However, it is indeed related to spatial abilities."

But Zhou Qing and Tang San thought of the same phrase at the same time: When gathered, it takes shape; when dispersed, it becomes energy.

Tang San, in particular, possesses the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the most orthodox and peaceful Daoist Cultivation Technique, and he also has some understanding of some of the cultivation realms within Daoism.

For example, the saying that when gathered, it forms a shape, and when dispersed, it becomes gas is a skill that involves mastering the workings of Unity of Heaven and Man and reaching the state of harmony between heaven and man. It is said that once this state is reached, the human body, a microcosm, can reflect the external universe, making one omnipotent!

Even when the Mysterious Heaven Skill is cultivated to its greatest extent, it is only the Three Flowers Converging on the Crown, which is still a long way from the realm of dispersing into Qi!

But it's truly unbelievable that Ariel, who possesses the so-called Sea Bloodline, has such abilities!

However, Zhou Qing was able to think of another point through Ariel's ability: the ability to gather into form and disperse into energy does not necessarily require reaching a state of omniscience or omnipotence, or even the unity of Unity of Heaven and Man, to use. Perhaps it is enough to understand the underlying principles.
