The two of them walked through the palace's main entrance, one in front of the other.
Inside, clam spirit maidservants and servingmen could be seen lying on the ground, moaning in pain. Some of them were even bleeding from the head and unconscious on the ground.
Some clam spirits were hurriedly carrying their brethren away, but there were too many of them, so they could not be done in a short time.
"Uh … These are the tremors caused by the battle earlier. As you know, when a palace is built at the bottom of the sea, the ground is a little soft … That's why when there's a huge tremor outside, the people inside will be thrown off their feet," Fu Jin explained helplessly.
Lu Sheng smiled and said nothing.
He noticed that these clam spirit maidservants were all young and beautiful. Even the older ones were full of charm. They did not look old, and all of them were beautiful.
The servingmen were also handsome, fair, and well-proportioned. If they were on Earth, they would have the potential to be pretty boys. There were also many young servingmen who might be prettier than girls in women's clothes.
"Come to think of it, I've never really visited this palace before," Lu Sheng said calmly.
Fu Jin smiled awkwardly. "Please forgive me, Abode Master. Our clan is in a special situation. If we were to meet people casually, I'm afraid …"
Lu Sheng nodded to show his understanding.
The members of the Mist Clam Clan were all beautiful. If they were to show themselves casually, they might attract trouble.
As they walked deeper into the pure white palace, the number of people gradually decreased. Beautiful girls dressed in chiffon clothes gradually increased. Most of them were kneeling on the ground. All of them had clamshells of various colors unique to the clam spirits on their backs. The clamshells on the girls' backs were all pure white.
A few clam spirits who looked like guards walked forward and whispered a few words to Fu Jin. Fu Jin turned around and swept his gaze across the hidden formation around the palace. He then recalled the powerful water wall that blotted out the sky and earth. In the end, he sighed and gave up on his last chance to make a move.
He was ninety percent sure that he would not succeed even if he made a move.
Taoist Mu Yun's true strength was too shocking. This person had hidden his strength for so many years, so he must be plotting something big. If he failed to make a move, he would definitely anger this person. If that happened, there would be unpredictable consequences, and the Mist Clam Clan would not be able to bear the consequences.
What kind of person was Lu Sheng? Although he was not proficient in array formations, he had been studying array formations for the past few years and was extremely familiar with the aura of array formations. At a glance, he could tell that there was a powerful array formation in the palace. Of course, this power was only effective against Core Formation Masters.
Right now, when he saw that Fu Jin had no intention of making a move, he knew that Fu Jin had completely given up and truly submitted to him. Only then did he feel slightly relieved.
"This water palace looks pretty good. If we can build a solid foundation, it will be a good place for the clam demon race to develop and strengthen in the future," he casually commented.
"Cave Master is right. Back then, this old man also had this intention and thought, but unfortunately … my mother, because of some unavoidable reasons, was implicated, causing my clan to have no choice but to move away from our ancestral land, leaving the main branch of the clam demon clan, and come to this shallow sea seabed to settle down. Otherwise, our Mist Clam Clan wouldn't have fallen to such a state, "Fu Jin said with a sigh. After he said this, he secretly sized up Lu Sheng's expression.
Lu Sheng knew what he was thinking. Lu Sheng wanted to tell him that the Mist Clam Clan was not a lone force. They had the extremely powerful clam demon race as their backing. It was just that they were far away from their ancestral land and had not returned yet.
This way, no matter how one looked at it, Lu Sheng would have some reservations in order to avoid making too much of a ruckus and going against the clam demon race in the future.
"The clam demon race? The legendary great race that lives in the deep sea and spreads throughout the world? That clam demon of the Sea Clan? "Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, but he was not shocked. Instead, he was delighted.
"That's right, that's right." Fu Jin hastily nodded in response. A hint of smugness flashed across his eyes. "Cave Master, since you know about it, you should also understand …"
"Since your clan originates from the clam demon race, then lend me your inherited True Formula to take a look." Lu Sheng cut him off and directly revealed the true purpose of his trip.
Initially, he thought that he would only be able to obtain an ordinary Core Formation cultivation method. He did not expect the Mist Clam Clan to have such a history. This was exactly what Lu Sheng wanted.
Fu Jin had initially planned to mention a few major events that had happened to the clam demon race in the past to shock this mysterious and powerful cave master. He did not expect that the other party would not play by the rules and directly ask for his inherited True Formula.
His expression immediately darkened. His eyes, which had been smiling just a moment ago, were quickly filled with rage.
"Cave Master, it's best that you don't make jokes like this. The inherited True Formula of a clan is not something that can be easily leaked. If we don't have that True Formula, the future of the Mist Clam Clan will be extremely miserable. It wouldn't be strange for us to end up in a miserable state. "
The gentleness on Lu Sheng's face slowly turned cold.
"I'm not asking. This is an order."
The two of them stood on the spot and froze for a moment.
The clanging sounds of weapons being drawn rang in their ears. The previously gentle and adorable innocent girls had now drawn short swords from somewhere on their bodies. Their eyes were filled with killing intent as they stared at Lu Sheng.
"Either you hand it over or you die." The silhouette of the silver metal ball appeared behind Lu Sheng again. The entire underwater palace started shaking slowly. The surrounding seawater seemed to be boiling. It was being pulled by a terrifyingly huge pressure. Even the light around Lu Sheng was faintly blocked by a layer.
"Rumble …"
The shaking of the underwater palace grew stronger and faster.
Fu Jin tried his best to stabilize the underwater palace in secret. The guards in the underwater palace had even activated all the various formations and formations, but it was all to no avail.
The entire underwater palace was like a toy in the hands of a giant. It easily disregarded all of their efforts. The shaking was still increasing slowly. There were no signs of it being stopped.
"I'll give it to you!" Finally, Fu Jin's face turned pale. He sat down on the ground. All of his Core Qi had been depleted. This time, he did not even have the strength to stand and maintain his dignity.
"Father!" With a soft cry, two charming and beautiful girls rushed out from the shadows of the palace and supported Fu Jin.
One of the girls was pure and innocent. She wore a pure white one-piece dress. Her skin was so fair and tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
The other girl had a hot figure. She only wore a pink miniskirt and a tube top. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. Her long, fair legs were exposed. One could not help but want to reach out and grope them.
"Go back! Little Yin, Little Rong! "Fu Jin could not help but scold them.
"It's alright." Lu Sheng only glanced at the two girls before he retracted his gaze. "These two little fellows are so sincere and filial. I don't dislike them."
"Ptooey! You're a bad person! "The hot girl called Little Rong spat at Lu Sheng. Her pretty face was icy cold.
The saliva she spat landed on a spot slightly in front of Lu Sheng's feet.
Lu Sheng smiled at her instead. "If you're so rude again, I'll cripple your cultivation base and marry you to the Walrus Clan."
Little Rong's face was as cold as frost. When she heard this, her pretty face instantly turned pale. Her body trembled, and she lowered her head, not daring to move anymore.
Beside her, Little Yin also trembled. Her face was pale with fright.
The Walrus Clan's ability in that area was famous for being violent and powerful. It was said that it was fine for the demons of their clan to marry, but if a demon from the outside married into their clan, it would be a life worse than death.
"Come with me." Fu Jin finally gave up on resisting. He struggled to his feet and had his two daughters leave first. Then, he left the main palace with Lu Sheng alone. They walked to a side hall in the deepest part of the water palace. In a secret compartment in the side hall's wall, he took out a special cloth book that was written on a golden silk cloth.
"This is the Mist Clam Clan's inherited True Incantation." Fu Jin's expression was cold as he handed the cloth book in his hand to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng received it and read it carefully. His expression did not change, but he was overjoyed.
A row of words was clearly written on the cloth book: Golden Clam Dragonization Formula.
In Mu Yun's hundreds of years of memories, he had heard a rumor. It was said that among the Sea Clan's inherited True Incantations, as long as they had the word 'dragonization' in them, they were definitely created by the true Dragon God. They were top treasured tomes that could reach the Great Path of Dragonization.
He flipped open the cloth book impatiently.
Just as he expected, this True Incantation had extremely complete records from the lowest Qi Refinement to Foundation Building, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul.
"Such a complete inherited True Incantation … What's wrong with your Mist Clam Clan?" Lu Sheng could not help but ask Fu Jin.
Fu Jin smiled bitterly. "Although this cultivation method is powerful, it requires a precious treasure of the world, and that's the Dragonization Stone. Ten thousand years ago, Dragonization Stones were everywhere. Now, most of them have been mined and used up. The remaining few are in the hands of the great clans of the deep sea. A small clan like ours … "He did not continue, but his meaning was clear.
Although this cultivation method was powerful, without the most crucial resource, it would not be of much use.
However, when Lu Sheng heard this, he was still overjoyed. This was because this was a cultivation method for the Clam Demon Clan. As a human, he naturally could not cultivate it. However, the descriptions and cultivation methods of the various realms, as well as the knowledge and experience contained within, were of great help to him in deriving the cultivation method using Deep Blue.
The cultivation method was not long. It was only several tens of thousands of words. Lu Sheng's spirit was extremely powerful now, so it did not take him much time to memorize it.
Then, he hastily returned to his cave abode.
With this cultivation method, he could definitely break through to the limit of what he could in one go.
If he did not run into a bottleneck in his derivation, he planned to give it a try this time. He wanted to see if he could break through to the limit and attain the perfected Core Formation before attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
With such a high-grade True Incantation as a reference, Deep Blue would have a decent comparison system. It would be easier for him to integrate the various martial arts experiences and techniques he had mastered in the past.
He hastily returned to his cave abode.
Lu Sheng cultivated in seclusion that night. Now that he had broken through to the Core Formation realm, he would have to start choosing something to replace the Nether Water as the core spiritual characteristic of the cultivation method.
Inside the cave abode where he was cultivating in seclusion.
Lu Sheng sat in the middle with a thoughtful expression on his face.
'The Nether Water can give Core Qi extreme coldness and poison. During the Core Formation realm, the stronger the Heaven and Earth Treasure that is integrated into it, the more powerful it will be. The Triad Brilliant Nether Collection revolves around the goal of integrating the Nether Water into the Inner Core. It progresses step by step and creates a special True Incantation. '
After reading the Golden Mirage Dragon Transformation Method, Lu Sheng's horizons were broadened. He was no longer at a loss regarding the cultivation methods after the Core Formation realm. He now had a complete and comprehensive understanding of the Core Formation realm as a whole.
'Then, what could be stronger and better than the Nether Water?' His current physical body was far inferior to his previous one. Even if he derived a powerful and terrifying energy like the Death Flame, his physical body would not be able to contain it.
'Looks like that's the only way … After all, I've already done it once in the Artifact.'
He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. With his spirit's control over Pure Qi, breaking through to the Core Formation realm would only require Deep Blue to derive the next level of the cultivation method, and success would follow naturally.
The cave abode quickly descended into silence.
Time passed slowly. Gradually, faint blue light began to shine around Lu Sheng's body. Faint ripples of seawater could be seen around him.
The sound of waves slowly reverberated in the cave abode.
More than two hours passed.
Lu Sheng opened his eyes abruptly. He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of cold white air. It was no different from how Mu Yun usually behaved after he finished cultivating.
However, no one would have thought that the Void Core in his body had quietly solidified during this period of time. It was glowing with a golden, perfect, and flawless light.
This light passed through Lu Sheng's body and shone outside, turning into a faint blue light.
As a Heavenly Devil, no Devil Tribulation dared to come and disturb him. Instead, a patch of dark red flames started burning soundlessly under Lu Sheng's seat.
