328: Chapter 328 Mother Sea

The waves of the Boundless Profound Sea beat tirelessly against the reefs, stirring up a thousand piles of shattered jade.

The tides rose and fell; when the tide ebbed, it was as gentle as a lover's whisper, but when it rose, it suddenly became turbulent and surging.

Huge reefs appeared and disappeared within the surging waves, and occasionally a flash of ink-blue would streak across them, only to be instantly swallowed by the churning tide.

The sea breeze swept past, carrying the soft whispers and suppressed gasps from the shore deep into the spray of the waves.

Mo Li and Mo Lan followed their senses and quickly swam toward the shore.

When their eyes touched upon the figures on the giant rock, and they saw Mo Yun with her eyes tightly closed and her fish tail trembling slightly, along with Ling Hao's focused posture, they instantly understood what was happening.

Their cheeks flushed red, and their eyes were filled with a mix of shyness and surprise; subconsciously, they stopped in the shallow water, not daring to approach further, and just stood there, watching Ling Hao and the other unmoving.

After a long while, just as Mo Li and Mo Lan were about to move, they felt a flash before their eyes, and the two had already arrived on the giant rock.

Ling Hao looked at the two with human bodies and fish tails and smiled, saying,

"You have come at just the right time..."

The sunset at dusk stretched the shadows of the four of them very long.

Another huge wave swept in, and three small fish with strange silver light shimmering on their tails were washed into a shallow pit on the shore by the last surging crest, where they flopped uselessly among the gravel.

"There are actually fish already."

On the reef, Ling Hao's voice was full of surprise.

According to the history of Blue Star in his past life, fish evolved from the Origin of life and went through a long span of time measured in hundreds of millions of years.

Yet this Small World ocean, which had only been born for a short time, had already naturally given birth to fish! This speed of evolution was faster than what was reasonable, clearly showing the extraordinary potential of this world.

Mo Yun flicked her fish tail, water light swirled around her body, and she instantly transformed into human form.

Her steps were slightly unsteady and faltering. She steadied herself, the blush on her face not yet faded, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Not only are there schools of fish in the Ancient Sea, but other types of small sea beast populations have also begun to emerge... However..."

Ling Hao's gaze shifted from the silver fish struggling in the shallow pit.

"However what?"

Mo Lan, who was by the side, interjected,

"It was something we discovered occasionally while collecting spiritual materials. These newly born biological populations... seem to only have female individuals. I am afraid... reproduction will become a big problem."

"Truly only females..." Ling Hao was lost in thought.

Su Shang had indeed mentioned that because the Origin of the Small World was newly set, and influenced by certain traits of his own, the creatures born in the Early Stage of evolution would all be female.

As for a solution? Su Shang did not say, obviously leaving it for Ling Hao to figure out himself.

Have him go to the outside world to collect a large number of male creatures?

That is impossible!

Could it really be that he needs to... personally use his Origin essence Qi to enlighten thousands of races?

Ling Hao shook his head.

Those like the Merfolk Race who can transform are easy to deal with, but those lower-level sea beasts that cannot transform...

The thought arose, and he felt it was absurd.

Although in his past life people talked about dolphins, octopuses, etc... but these are sea beasts, can they be the same?

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

Ling Hao looked at Mo Yun and asked.

"Your Merfolk Race's Holy Land, the Moon-Tear Coral Grove, the kind that allows females to reproduce parthenogenetically, is there any way to replicate it here? Or does this Three Provinces Realm have any other similar existence?"

Mo Yun tidied up her slightly chaotic thoughts, shook her head, and replied:

"We of the Merfolk Race do not know the operating principles of the Holy Land Moon-Tear Coral Grove, let alone how to reproduce it."

Ling Hao frowned. Indeed, such a Moon-Tear Coral Grove that nurtures life already involves a trace of the Dao. Even if his Dao of Vitality reached Perfection, it would be useless.

"However..."

Mo Yun pondered slightly and recalled,

"When I returned from the Holy Land, I collected the broken roots of the Moon-Tear Coral Grove. I have recently finished refining them and learned some memory fragments of our race's ancient Legacy."

"To the east of Fusang Province, there is a vast sea area called the Dongming Cang Sea. Legend has it that deep within it exists a Child-Mother Sea. Its characteristics... are somewhat similar to the Holy Land, and perhaps it could meet the Sect Master's needs."

"Deep in the Dongming Cang Sea, a Child-Mother Sea?"

Ling Hao raised an eyebrow. This name instantly made him think of the Child-Mother River in the Kingdom of Women from Journey to the West.

"It seems that this trip to the East Sea is imperative!"

Ling Hao smiled brightly,

"If we can find that Child-Mother Sea, your Merfolk Race's Bloodline Legacy will no longer be a problem."

"Yes..."

Mo Yun responded softly, her right hand stroking her flat lower abdomen, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"However... I just... felt it carefully, and I think what Sect Master said earlier might make more sense. That place... which we regarded as a place to sense water currents, perhaps... was originally a place to nurture life..."

She lifted her moist eyes, glanced at Ling Hao quickly, and then lowered them again immediately,

"The future of the Merfolk Race may, after all... still rely on the Sect Master's mercy..."

Her words trailed off. Under Ling Hao's meaningful gaze, Mo Yun blushed and fell silent.

Ling Hao's gaze turned to Mo Li and Mo Lan, who had already come down into the shallow water.

"What do you think?"

In the clear shallow water, Mo Li's azure fish tail and Mo Lan's sea-green tail fin reflected each other under the waves, trembling gently and creating subtle ripples.

Crystal-clear water droplets slid down the pearl-like scales, gathered at the tips of their tails, and dripped, merging into the sea and drawing an arc.

The two said in unison,

"Please, Sect Master, have mercy on the Merfolk Race!"

East of Yujing City · Mount Qingqiu

This place was originally an unnamed spiritual mountain in the Moon Shadow Small World. Now that it had been chosen by the Jade Fox Clan as their settlement, they named it after their legendary ancestral land, "Qingqiu".

The mountain range was spiritual and beautiful. The southern foothills contained rich deposits of beautiful jade, while the northern slopes produced plenty of Qinghuo Ore. The jade was used for carving and decoration, and the Qinghuo was ground into vibrant pigments, fitting the Jade Fox Clan's natural inclination for splendor and delicacy.

Hundreds of Jade Fox Clan members were busy there. Some used Spells to move jade to build pavilions and towers, while others carefully mixed Qinghuo to paint corridors and pillars. There was laughter and chatter, full of vitality.

In an elegantly constructed courtyard.

Her long, jet-black hair was loosely tied up, with a green jade hairpin slanted through it, and her cloud-like bun hung slightly, like smoke.

Tushan Bailing walked over slowly, wearing a deep purple, high-slit velvet qipao.

Her voluptuous curves were like a ripe peach, and the side slit of the qipao reached almost to her waist. As she walked, her snow-white, rounded thighs and full, peach-like hip lines were visible, appearing and disappearing.

She sat down slowly opposite Ling Hao and turned her head to gaze at the Qingqiu Ancient Tree seedling in the courtyard.

This was grown from the remains of the Qingqiu Ancient Tree. It had now sprouted tender green branches, and although still young, it already exuded great vitality, symbolizing the rebirth of the Jade Fox Clan.

"I never expected... that these remains of the Qingqiu Ancient Tree would actually have a day of rebirth."

Tushan Bailing sighed sincerely.

Back then, when she made the exchange with Su Fengyi, she was convinced that these remains of the Qingqiu Ancient Tree could not be revived.

She did not expect that the Sect Master would exchange for it back and even use his methods to revive it.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Tushan Bailing's eyes were filled with moisture.

Everything she had encountered since returning to the Moonshadow Sect completely proved that her choice was not wrong!

Total acceptance, equal treatment, all resources and Cultivation Techniques fully opened, and even being able to settle in the Moon Shadow Small World...

Powerful, understanding, mysterious... His demeanor was elegant, his spirit radiant, like a bright moon and a cool breeze, as if mountains and rivers were painted into a picture.

Sect Master, what an extraordinary and holy man he is!

His heart encompasses the heavens and the earth, his gaze illuminates the path ahead, and his very existence is a miracle, a destination.

Meeting such a wise master is Tushan Bailing's fortune, and also the Opportunity for the entire Jade Fox Clan.

Tushan Bailing knelt on one knee and swore:

"The Jade Fox Clan is willing to dedicate our entire hearts, to follow the Sect Master forever, with unwavering loyalty, following through life and death!"
