Sea beasts are different from wild beasts, and the difference is not the difference between sea and land. For example, many whale sharks, squids and octopuses in the sea, even if they have a lot of vitality, are wild beasts, without the word "sea"!

As for the exact difference, it is not reflected in the name or ethnic culture, but in blood. Wild beasts have vitality, and so do sea beasts. The former have many bloodlines, while the latter are relatively simple. That is the bloodline passed down from ancient times, which can easily control the sea, like the incarnation of the sea god, which can bestow the grace of sweet rain on the land, or form floods to destroy everything and return it to the original ocean.

This ability is the favor of the Great Wilderness to the sea beasts, and it is also their privilege as the oldest race in the Great Wilderness. This bloodline still circulates even after the Emperor Qishi was sealed, but how it was preserved is still a mystery, and only they themselves know. Soon, in the conversation between the water tank and the Emperor Qishi, we can learn about the historical changes of 30,000 years ago and the bitterness of the circulation of the sea beast bloodline.

The sea was broken into seven ripples, two of which were extremely large in the front, and the five that followed were smaller, but Xia Xiao was very familiar with their auras, and they should be the five sea beasts that walked up the mountainside. They broke out of the water together, transformed from the sea beasts with strange waves into human forms, and stood on the sea.

Xia Xiao and Azhu jumped off the low cliff formed by reefs, stood in front of the seven people, and also stood next to Qing Xunzi.

Seeing that the two old sea beasts were weak, Xia Xiao and Azhu saluted first, and they returned the gift, which was heavier, because Qingxunzi was there. Although he rarely left the mainland and rarely interacted with sea beasts, his strength was here, and Shui Tan was the chief and deputy chief, saying that his strength was stronger than that of the deputy chief, so he naturally had to be more polite.

"I have brought the souls of all the sea beasts with me. Please have a look, Your Holiness."

The old man who spoke was very old and moved slowly, but he still handed over the stone box in his hands with both hands.

Qingxunzi took it and opened it. A light blue glow filled the entire sea that Xia Xiao could see. A breeze blew in all directions, lifting a few strands of their hair. The ripples slowed down by two beats, starting from Qingxunzi's feet and spreading far away.

After the ripples, the sea surface was like a dark mirror. Xia Xiao looked down and then at the water tank. They didn't interact much, but they were familiar with each other. The latter had a smug smile on his face. Seeing this, Xia Xiao gave a thumbs up.

It must be said that the sea beasts are very good at subduing the sea. If they were to use their vital energy to suppress it, it would take a lot of effort. But they only had a little soul each, and they couldn't activate it, but they could make it surrender, even the most basic water flow was stilled. This kind of power is shocking.

After all, the sea is the home of sea beasts, their mother, and the shield and spear in their hands. This fluctuation is indescribable, and the mysterious head is full of strangeness. Although the vitality is strong, the control of the sea is like its body and mind, which can be controlled at will. At this time, it is the simplest and most common calm state.

Qing Xunzi's face was illuminated by the blue light, and his pair of old eyes looked at the blue light emitted from the stone box in his hand with great concentration, with a hint of joy on his face.

"For making such a contribution to peace, I would like to thank you two on behalf of the human race. Thank you for your hard work."

"The academy has trained five outstanding members for us, and this is for the sake of peace. Why should I thank you? Your Excellency the Pope is too kind."

The wild beasts and the sea beasts don't like each other. You call me a barbarian, I call you a bastard, and the two are arguing. But in front of this matter, the attitude shown by the sea beasts temporarily can return to the public eye as a defender of peace as long as they call on the world. Especially before such an event, the old patriarch knows what to do and his attitude is not bad at all.

"I wonder where the sea beasts have gone now?"

Water can block perception to a great extent. Qingxunzi didn't have much time to look at it at this time, so the old patriarch answered in detail:

"One team from the north and one team from the south, go and save each other. I am ashamed to say that although my sea beast clan has passed down the bloodline, it is too weak and there are not many strong people in the clan. The seventh-level water tank is much stronger than the old man. And this time, the soul sacrifice has greatly reduced our strength. Apart from this soul and the water tank, I don't think we can help the Pope."

"What are you talking about? Having the soul and the water tank is already great, and this soul can't return to its original state after use?"

The soul of the sea beast clan is simply the product of blood. The stronger the soul, the higher the room for improvement, just like human talent. But the only difference is that humans have gradually lost their attention to blood since a long time ago. Except for the Yun Kingdom, there are few people who have inherited blood from generation to generation, and it is difficult to separate it from the body. But sea beasts are different, but Qingxunzi doesn't know much about it. The old patriarch immediately explained, saying:

"There are four types of souls, namely rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. We are just rivers. Once we separate them from our bodies, it will be difficult to retrieve them. However, the five people in the water tank are lakes. They may break through to become rivers in the future. What is innate can be supplemented later. Therefore, only their souls can be absorbed back. We will..."

"So, your strength will decline, and it will be difficult to improve in the future?"

Seeing the old patriarch nod, Xia Xiao murmured:

"Such a great sacrifice..."

This was something Xia Xiao had not expected. He did not even know why the sea beasts would do this. He asked:

"Why do you have to take out the soul?"

The water tank gestured, and the patriarch let him speak.

"When you suggested taking me to persuade Emperor Qishi that day, I thought about it for a long time. Although I wanted to go, I felt a little inferior. How could my existence convince Emperor Qishi that the sea beast clan really existed and was worthy of his not getting angry? My soul is just a lake, and I can only be regarded as a not-so-noticeable waste in the former sea beast clan. So after I told the clan leader, I had this idea. Do you remember the scene when we first met Emperor Qishi? He didn't admit that we were sea beasts at all, because the blood we inherited was too weak, and the soul was also weak. If you want to persuade him, you must show proof that sea beasts are still in the world."

"But this method is harmful to sea beasts and has no benefit at all."

When Xia Xiao said this, both the water tank and the chief of the sea beast clan cast their eyes. Everyone knows the truth, but speaking it out loud requires a lot of courage and tests one's integrity.

"I am deeply grateful that you can say this!"

He gradually began to understand why Tianming and Xia Xiao were so close. But Xia Xiao did not put himself in the position of a saint, saying:

"We are all friends, and I am just telling the truth. I know you returned to the East China Sea, but I didn't know that your preparations were like this."

"This is the decision of our sea beast clan. As long as we can persuade Emperor Qishi to stay, it will benefit both you and me."

"You want to gain his recognition and protection, so that he can raise the level of your soul?"

Xia Xiao roughly guessed that this was the case, otherwise he would not have absorbed the souls of every member of the tribe here. When he said this, Shui Tan nodded.

"It's difficult for us sea beasts to pass on our bloodline. If another hundred years pass, our bloodline, which was not very strong to begin with, will disappear completely. That's when the sea beasts will truly die out. We can only continue to exist in this world with the help of Emperor Qishi. Otherwise, we will be no different from wild beasts in the sea."

"This is the selfish desire of our clan, but it will not harm humans. I hope the Pope will forgive me."

The old patriarch is naturally younger than Qing Xunzi, but he still can't bear it at this moment. He raised his hand and stood up immediately.

"It's great to be able to kill two birds with one stone. There's no need to blame yourself. I hope Xia Xiao and Shui Tan can persuade Emperor Qishi to stay, help the human race out of its predicament, and restore the sea beast race to its glory."

Although there will be endless troubles, what Xia Xiao did conflicts with the ideas of the sea beasts, but he can only follow their lead. However, it would be bad if he created hatred with the sea beasts again. Therefore, some things should be said in advance to avoid a bad ending. Xia Xiao looked at his master, who understood what he meant and said:

"This persuasion may not be successful. It is unknown whether Xia Xiao and Shui Tan can escape unscathed. The anger that Emperor Qishi has accumulated for 30,000 years is unimaginable. Moreover, if he rushes to the moon in a rage to seek revenge on the former Human Emperor, your plan may be difficult to carry out..."

Xia Xiao couldn't say this, so Qing Xunzi said it. The old patriarch and the deputy patriarch beside him looked at each other and could only accept it silently.

"This is a gamble, and it all depends on luck. If Emperor Qishi acknowledges our existence, we can benefit whether we leave or stay. If he doesn't acknowledge us, there is nothing we can do. However, as Emperor Qishi is the god of the sea and our ancestor, I still believe that he will not ignore us."

"I am willing to believe it."

Seeing the high aspirations of the seven sea beasts, Qing Xunzi nodded slightly. As long as they were mentally prepared, any outcome would be fine. But trusting him was a bit too foolish. Their Emperor of the Beginning might disappoint them.

"In that case, let's get started!"

Shui Tan stepped forward and took the stone box from Qing Xunzi. After looking at the two clan leaders, they bowed to Qing Xunzi respectfully, and then turned into old sea beasts, one to the south and one to the north, and left. The other four people stayed where they were. Qing Xunzi motioned for them to leave as well, but Shui Tan said:

"Your Holiness, when the clan leader was here, we represented the sea beast clan. Now we are facing this danger together as members of the academy."

"I hope the Pope will fulfill our wishes."

The four of them saluted, causing Qing Xunzi to sigh helplessly.

"You young people always have to do some formalities, but your original intention is good, so I will agree to it!"

"Thank you, Your Holiness!"

After the four of them saluted, Xia Xiao took Ah Zhu's hand and handed it to a woman among the four sea beasts, and said:

"Azhu, please excuse me."

"Don't worry, I promise not to let her lose even a hair."

Xia Xiao's gaze left Azhu and met the water tank, and Qingxunzi began to move.

"First, I'll take you to see the current seal."

Glancing at the five people, Qingxunzi said:

"You guys come along too!"

Ah Zhu immediately formed a seal, rode on the head of the little narwhal, and gradually dived with the four sea beasts around him. The sea beast was indeed different from ordinary marine beasts. It was not a shark or a whale, but a creature that had never been seen before. It looked like a big fish but had a dragon-like posture, strong fins, sharp and protruding teeth, and an exaggerated posture.

In the dark sea, the five beasts followed the three people down, all curious about the power of the seal that could seal the Emperor Qishi and the sea beasts for more than 30,000 years. Ah Zhu was also curious, but the most urgent task was to use the energy that was as close to water as the starry sky to cover the backpack with a layer of ice to protect the snacks inside.
