Transforming into Water?
Wei Chen nodded. Although he didn't know exactly how to do it, he had heard those words from the Dark Mage during his time at the Black Magic Palace.
Transforming into water was the strongest reliance of the Sea Tribe, and it was also the reason why the Dark Mage could not defeat Sea Emperor Nanfeng in the ocean.
In the Endless Sea, where water was everywhere, a powerhouse like Sea Emperor Nanfeng could transform into water even on the surface, blending into the moisture in the air, making enemy attacks nearly ineffective.
Of course, only the strong among the Sea Tribe could achieve this transformation. At the very least, one needed to be above Thirty-Two Levels to transform into water. That ability was incredibly powerful and could only be cultivated by those with the unique physical structure of the Sea Tribe; others simply could not do it.
The Sea Tribe had their pride, and transforming into water was their most cherished skill. How could enemies strike when they came and went without a trace?
However, in extremely arid regions, transforming into water would be useless; without water, how could one transform?
Even a powerhouse like Sea Emperor Nanfeng would struggle to transform into water in the Demon Realm due to the lack of moisture in the air, resulting in a significant drop in strength. Therefore, the true high-ranking members of the Sea Tribe never ventured onto land; they had no means of survival there.
In contrast, members of the Three Great Clans occasionally explored the Endless Sea. Generally speaking, as long as they didn’t venture too deep, they wouldn’t encounter trouble. But once they went deeper, they would face attacks from the Sea Tribe.
Wei Chen's visit to the Endless Sea was not met with attacks from lower-ranking members of the Sea Tribe not because his strength intimidated them or due to the Soul Beast on his Warship, but because the flag on his Warship was too dazzling. The lower-ranking Sea Tribe members had not received orders and did not dare to trouble Wei Chen. If it were an ordinary Warship instead of one bearing the terrifying flag of the Black Magic Clan, those lower-ranking members would have rushed forward without needing much communication with their superiors.
In the Demon Realm, members of the Three Great Clans typically displayed their family flags when traveling. The flag of the Dark Magic Royal Family fluttered around their Warship with great authority; ordinary Sea Tribe members would not dare approach.
This was truly why Wei Chen could safely reach South Sea Island.
Wei Chen looked at Sea Emperor Nanfeng and said calmly, “Sea Emperor, transforming into water is unique to your Sea Tribe, but it doesn’t work well on land.”
The implication of Wei Chen's words was clear: stay in the Endless Sea and refrain from causing trouble on land.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng understood Wei Chen's message. He smiled lightly and replied, “Indeed, it is ineffective. That’s why every time we send people to land during our Sea Tribe operations, we only send lower-ranking members. We never go ourselves nor seek trouble on your Three Great Clans' territory. There isn’t much animosity between our Sea Tribe and humanity; in fact, when our Army lands on land, we strictly order that unless absolutely necessary, no harm should come to human lives.”
Wei Chen could sense that Sea Emperor Nanfeng wanted to ease relations with the human race.
Wei Chen said calmly, "But every time you raid the mainland for food, many people end up dead."
"That’s unavoidable. Stealing is wrong, but we have no choice. Those from the mainland attack us as soon as we arrive, and it becomes a matter of survival. Moreover, the casualties on our side in the Sea Tribe are ten times greater than yours," Sea Emperor Nanfeng replied.
He looked at Wei Chen, paused for a moment, and continued, "I've been thinking about whether there’s a way for both our sides to accept a different approach. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to meet with the true leaders of the Three Great Clans or negotiate with them. In our South Sea Region, we correspond with the Black Magic Clan. I've always wanted to negotiate with your grandfather about providing some resources in exchange for food from your Black Magic Clan during our Sea Tribe's severe rice shortages."
His earnest gaze was fixed intently on Wei Chen.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng hoped that Wei Chen could represent the Black Magic Clan and reach this agreement with the South Sea Sea Clan.
After all, Wei Chen was the sole heir of the Black Magic Clan and held significant influence within it.
Unfortunately, under Sea Emperor Nanfeng's watchful eyes, Wei Chen smiled wryly and shook his head. "I can't help it; I'm not my grandfather. I have no idea what he thinks."
"I also don't have the authority to speak for the Black Magic Clan. Your idea is good, but I am not the Demon Emperor of the Black Magic Clan. This matter can only be negotiated with my grandfather."
Wei Chen's words were partly true and partly false; who could tell?
He understood deeply that the Sea Tribe's attacks on the mainland posed little threat to the Black Magic Clan—in fact, it could even be beneficial. From his own standpoint, he couldn't agree to such an arrangement. A permanent solution would indeed be great, but allowing those tribes to gradually expand would threaten the position of the Black Magic Clan.
Unconsciously, Wei Chen began to think from the perspective of someone in power.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng sighed and said, "But your grandfather won't come to the Endless Sea, and I won't go to the Black Magic Clan."
"Actually, as long as communication is good, it can work out," Wei Chen said in confusion.
In his view, acting as a middleman to bring the Dark Mage to the Endless Sea was not difficult at all.
Of course, that was just his own thought; whether it could actually happen depended on the Dark Mage himself.
Then he considered, what if the Dark Mage came and was besieged by the Sea Tribe? The Sea Tribe enjoyed life on the mainland and liked to imitate the pleasures of humanity. Had they never thought about truly attacking the mainland and occupying a large territory?
"Sigh, I guess it's still my fault for being too young. Many things are not as simple as I imagined!" Wei Chen thought to himself.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng said, "I cannot go to the mainland, and your grandfather will not come to the Endless Sea either. This is because a long time ago, there was an agreement between the Sea Tribe and humanity: anyone at the level of Martial Emperor cannot enter each other's territory. Otherwise, the other side would have reason to launch a full-scale attack. Although your grandfather and I are both top-tier in strength, who can withstand a large-scale siege?"
Wei Chen nodded; he had heard of Sea Emperor Nanfeng's law.
The two chatted leisurely, and after about an hour, the old man returned.
"Sea Emperor, after my investigation, it appears that Philippe King from the Philippine Sea is behind this. As for the specific reasons, we couldn't uncover them."
Upon hearing this, Sea Emperor Nanfeng narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura emanating from him that caused the surrounding air to drop several degrees in an instant.
"Philippe King! Hmph, he really has some nerve!" Sea Emperor Nanfeng said lightly.
The old man added, "Sea Emperor, should we take action against Philippe King? His recent activities have been frequent and pose a threat."
"You go ahead and keep a close watch on their movements," Nanfeng instructed.
After the old man left, Sea Emperor Nanfeng turned to Wei Chen and said, "Wei Chenyu, could you ask your friend to come over so I can take a closer look at what Philippe King has been up to?"
"Alright."
Wei Chen nodded in agreement and brought Lynn Luyao to stand before Sea Emperor Nanfeng.
Sea Emperor Nanfeng squinted his eyes, observing her closely for a moment before his expression shifted slightly. "Miss, do you feel very warm and somewhat swollen when it rains?"
Lynn Luyao tilted her head, thinking for a moment, then nodded lightly.
"Do you also feel this way when you're near water?"
"Yes."
"And when you touch water or drink it, do you experience the same sensation?"
"Yes."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng's expression gradually darkened.
He exchanged a few glances with Wei Chen, who understood immediately and led Lynn Luyao away.
"Wei Chenyu, to be honest, your friend is no longer considered part of the human race," Sea Emperor Nanfeng said to Wei Chen.
Hearing this, Wei Chen was taken aback. "No longer human? Has she become part of the Sea Tribe?"
"That's correct. She is now considered part of the Sea Tribe. You may not sense it, but I can feel that there is a mark of the Sea Tribe within her. After undergoing some changes, her body has transformed into that of the Sea Tribe. Her innate talent was already quite good, and with this change in constitution, her abilities have become even stronger. Her potential is at the peak of Martial Emperor, which corresponds to the Thirty-Six Levels," Sea Emperor Nanfeng stated solemnly.
Wei Chen sighed helplessly. "How could this happen?"
"It was Philippe King who did this. He kidnapped that girl and altered her body, spending Nineteen Years on it. He also left a secret technique of the Sea Tribe within her Sea of Consciousness. As long as Philippe King activates that technique, the girl will remember everything and become his loyal subordinate."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng's expression was grim as he continued, "He paid a huge price to modify that girl's body. Just the blood essence from the Sea Tribe's powerful warriors required countless amounts. It takes Thirty-Two Levels to qualify for transformation into water. I believe that the girl has already fused with the blood essence of more than a dozen Sea Tribe warriors above Thirty-Two Levels to achieve such a physique. After compressing and refining their blood essence, those Sea Tribe warriors have become useless."
"Philippe King has invested so much in that girl; I wonder what he intends to do. Does he plan to let her grow up and control the human race?"
Hearing Sea Emperor Nanfeng's words, Wei Chen couldn't help but chuckle. If the Three Great Clans could be controlled so easily, it would be far too simple.
Moreover, Wei Chen noticed a flaw in Sea Emperor Nanfeng's argument. If it were so "simple" to create a powerful human bestower and infiltrate the human race as a spy, then why didn't he do it himself?
For Sea Emperor Nanfeng, more than a dozen warriors above Thirty-Two Levels were merely trivial.
Wei Chen looked at Sea Emperor Nanfeng and asked calmly, "I find your words hard to believe. If my friend is truly as formidable as you say, why don't you execute the same plan?"
Sea Emperor Nanfeng understood Wei Chen's implication. He shook his head and explained, "Do you think it's easy to expend more than a dozen warriors above Thirty-Two Levels? I have fewer than a hundred such warriors under my command. What could a bestower do on the human continent? Once they reach Black Magic Palace, everything would be exposed. In your Black Magic Palace, there are countless formations; even those with just a hint of Sea Tribe blood can be detected. Furthermore, if I manage to create a bestower with both Sea Tribe abilities and human traits to blend in among humans, what if they fail midway and get killed? That would be a huge loss! You Three Great Clans are constantly losing people; you understand that 'the nail that sticks out gets hammered down.'"
"So I would never engage in such actions. Trying to deal with your Black Magic Clan through such underhanded methods is futile."
Sea Emperor Nanfeng explained clearly, and Wei Chen believed him.
After hesitating for a moment, Sea Emperor Nanfeng added, "Wei Chenyu, if you want to know everything, come with me to the Philippine Sea. If we capture Philippe King, you'll learn all there is to know."
