Chapter 1027 - 522: Growing Stronger While Sleeping, Deep Sea Elemental Spirit

The Mermaid of the Mei Jia race has a very peculiar habit. During their tail-sleeping, their body surface secretes a small amount of fragrant liquid.

This liquid makes their bodies incredibly smooth but absolutely not greasy.

The reason the name of this liquid contains the character "fragrant" is because it emits a distinctive, long-lasting fragrance that has a slightly stimulating allure.

This is because the lower half of the Mermaid’s body, the fish tail, is covered with many scales. Without the fragrant liquid, friction between the two tails can easily damage the scales, and might even cause some scales to fall off.

Although Miss Jana underwent a magical life transformation through a secret technique, turning her fish tail into human legs and feet,

the characteristic of "skin secreting fragrant liquid" still remains.

Yang Fan gently stroked Miss Jana’s back, which was as smooth as the finest silk, feeling almost reluctant to let go.

The intimate encounter just now was a wondrous experience, entirely different from the Canglan women.

He was well aware that the Mermaid was not particularly fond of tail-sleeping; she mainly wanted to deepen her bond with the Mei Jia Civilization through this method.

In one word—sleeping more would naturally deepen the feelings.

Miss Jana lay her head on his arm and said in an extremely languid tone, "Did you sense the change in your Elemental Spirit?"

Yang Fan responded with a "Hmm," saying, "It seems to have become more solid, and its control is smoother and clearer."

He understood that this was undoubtedly a path of cultivation through tail-sleeping. With the deep heritage of the Mei Jia Royal Family, it was not surprising that the Mermaid mastered this secret technique.

He suddenly felt that having a secretary who awakened Succubus Superpower and a Mermaid skilled in tail-sleeping secret techniques, he could indeed grow stronger just by sleeping.

Miss Jana laughed, "It seems your soul is more astute than I imagined."

She continued to explain, "This is the ’Mei Jia Condensing Elemental Skill,’ a thousand-year legacy of the Mei Jia Royal Family. The Elemental Spirit tempered by it is called ’Deep Sea Elemental Spirit.’

"The strongest form of Deep Sea Elemental Spirit can be twice as powerful as ordinary Knights. Not only does it greatly enhance combat power, but it also speeds up physical recovery and spiritual power recovery."

Yang Fan felt, "Indeed, it’s impressive!"

Judging by its effects, it is undoubtedly more than impressive. This is almost a secret technique every Knight dreams of, showcasing the profound heritage of the Mei Jia Civilization.

Miss Jana blinked her mesmerizing eyes and suddenly asked, "If you want to quickly temper your Elemental Spirit, I can have the Mei Jia Royal Family send over ten noble ladies, each of whom is proficient in the Mei Jia Condensing Elemental Skill.

"Because the Mei Jia Condensing Elemental Skill consumes the innate sea Primordial Energy of the Mei Jia People, and recovering sea Primordial Energy takes time, they can help you cultivate in turns.

"The Royal Family will use a life secret technique beforehand to transform them into human appearances. Their looks and figures will surely please you.

"Currently, as the Canglan Civilization enters the Sliding Period of the second phase, traveling from the Mei Jia Civilization to the Canglan Civilization has become much less dangerous, taking only three months."

This move, no doubt, is also to win favor.

And to send ten noble daughters at once is truly a grand gesture.

Yang Fan felt an uncontrollable twinge of interest for a moment.

Who wouldn’t want to quickly cultivate Elemental Spirit as a Knight?

In the end, he shook his head, "No need."

Last time, after absorbing the Mei Jia Sea Emperor Flower, although he gained tremendous benefits and was promoted directly to a Middle Rank Knight, he almost turned from a Canglan Race into the Mei Jia Race.

Who knows what tricks the Mei Jia Royal Family might play on these ten noble daughters, so it’s better to be cautious.

Miss Jana still wasn’t resigned and said, "I can show you their appearances. They are famous beauties among the nobility. Don’t you want to take a look?"

Yang Fan replied with a trace of resolve, "Really, there’s no need."

The Mermaid looked a bit disappointed, "Alright then."

Yang Fan shifted the topic, "Did you just communicate with the Mei Jia Civilization?"

Miss Jana was quite candid, "Yes, the Holy Grand Chief Priest sent me an Exotic Treasure called ’Ten Thousand Realm Sound-Transmitting Bell,’ which can communicate with the Mei Jia Civilization.

"However, the distance between the Mei Jia Civilization and the Canglan Civilization is too far, being located in two different World Domains. The Sound-Transmitting Bell can only communicate for one minute before exhausting its power.

"It then requires seven days to recharge before it can contact the Mei Jia Royal Family again."

Yang Fan’s eyes flickered.

Actually, he had a way to solve the cross-World Domain communication issue, but at this stage, it wasn’t suitable for the Canglan Civilization to get too close to the Mei Jia Civilization.

After all, the Mei Jia race was too powerful; the Canglan People could easily become their vassals.

Great Xia’s historical experience proved that only independence could create true strength.

Yang Fan asked further, "What did you say to the Mei Jia Royal Family?"

Miss Jana replied nonchalantly, "Nothing much. I just informed the Royal Family about your battle with the Blue Thunder Knight as well as my confrontation with the Blue Thunder Venerable."

These words were true, but many key details were left out, such as:

She specifically described various details about the Thunder Wood and judged it to be very fitting with the image of the Salvation Divine Artifact in the Painting of Revelation.

This communication caused a commotion within the Royal Family. In the last fifteen seconds, Her Majesty Empress Jiafei personally had a brief exchange with her.

Some Royal Family members had initially had some criticisms, believing that it wasn’t wise to use a Mei Jia Sea Emperor Flower, which takes a millennium to blossom, on a target without confirming it possessed the Salvation Divine Artifact.

So, the Mermaid was under some pressure a few days ago.

Now they finally found compelling evidence that the target possesses qualities highly compatible with the Salvation Divine Artifact, and the voices of dissent within the Royal Family vanished completely. The Mermaid felt immense satisfaction.

A few seconds passed.

"Beep! Beep!"

The communication device placed nearby emitted several light sounds.

This was a message from Wu Dingtian and others.

Earlier, Yang Fan had released numerous drones in the Profound Armor World to form a communication network, which could still utilize Canglan Civilization’s communication equipment even over a thousand kilometers away.

Ten minutes ago, Wu Dingtian and others had already contacted him once, but he was busy "working," so he didn’t respond to them.

Yang Fan gently touched the Mermaid’s smooth, rounded shoulder: "Let’s go!"

Miss Jana obediently replied: "Okay."

"Splash~"

Accompanied by the sound of a water wave.

A blue droplet appeared out of thin air, quickly extending along the Mermaid’s skin and forming a watery film that covered her breathtakingly beautiful body.

The water film rapidly transformed, its surface developing complex patterns and colors, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a beautiful dress.

*

Six hundred kilometers away.

Wu Dingtian put down the communicator and said: "It seems Mr. Ghost is dealing with very important matters, so let’s patiently wait for a while."

The other warriors nodded in agreement.

Wu Dingtian’s gaze drifted to the few figures beside him, their faces full of anxious terror, and he sighed inwardly.

These individuals were survivors from among the Profound Armor People.

Following Mr. Ghost’s instructions, Wu Dingtian discovered these five Profound Armor People hidden in a very secluded cave beneath a river channel.

To combat the Poisonous Ant Disaster and save the entire Profound Armor Civilization, the Profound Armor People mobilized all their warriors, Superpower Users, and able-bodied adults.

Nearly all of them perished on the battlefield.

Thus, these few surviving Profound Armor People were elderly and weak, including three old people and two children.

They all had pale faces and vacant, unfocused eyes, and any slight disturbance would terrify them to the extreme.

Wu Dingtian felt a pang in his heart, deeply realizing: "Even if it costs me my life, the Canglan People must not end up like this."

The commander understood that Mr. Ghost risked crossing the vast Black Sand Sea to reach the Profound Armor Civilization, partly to show the Canglan People what "civilization apocalypse" truly looks like.

Because saying it a million times pales in comparison to witnessing it firsthand.

This is exceptionally profound real-world education!

From the Canglan People’s perspective, the appearances of the Profound Armor People were quite peculiar.

Though they were humanoid creatures, they had several patches of pale, hardened keratin on their front and back.

At first glance, it resembled fingernails but was dozens of times harder than fingernails.

This was essentially natural armor.

The Profound Armor People called it — Profound Armor.

Since Profound Armor also had excellent thermal insulation properties, the Profound Armor People didn’t have the habit of wearing upper garments, whether young or old, male or female, usually only wearing pants or skirts.

The Profound Armor People also used natural mineral pigments to paint various patterns on the surface of the Profound Armor.

But now, the patterns on these few Profound Armor People had become chaotic and unsightly, looking very miserable.

Wu Dingtian carefully took out an iron pen and asked: "Do you know where there are other survivors?"

This was something Yang Fan had given him temporarily, known as the Deceitful Iron Pen, which had the ability to foretell overnight messages.

"Buzz~"

The deceitful artifact gently vibrated, conveying the meaning of the question to the Profound Armor People.

The elderly Profound Armor Person leading them, whose Profound Armor already showed minor cracks, shook his head and said: "Honorable guest of the mysterious race, we are just ordinary people from the distant mountain soil, and we’ve spent our lives never leaving it, so we don’t know where there might be survivors after the annihilation disaster."

The so-called "annihilation disaster" was the Profound Armor People’s term for the Poisonous Ant Disaster.

Wu Dingtian sighed, feeling there was no need to ask further, then said: "Rest now."

The elderly Profound Armor Person pointed at the two children with his finger, pleading: "Honorable guest of the mysterious race, could you take Yachi and Yala back with you?"

The elder knew that the Profound Armor World was about to be completely destroyed. He was old and didn’t care about his own survival, but he hoped the two children could survive.

The elderly Profound Armor Person pressed his hands on the children’s necks, forcing them to kneel: "Yachi and Yala have remarkable talents rare among the Profound Armor People, capable of awakening middle grade superpower, and they can serve you."

Wu Dingtian’s heart was suddenly shaken.

Middle grade superpower?

He instantly realized the identities of the elder and the two children were not simple.
