Chapter 143 As the mermaid princesss eyes opened, the space within the storage bag had already begun to disintegrate. This type of storage bag couldnt contain living beings. Living creatures simply couldnt fit inside. If a high-level cultivator forcibly tried to place a living being inside, the space within would collapse. In the current situation, when the mermaid was put inside, she was in a state similar to death. However, the mermaid suddenly opened her eyes and came back to life. The space within the storage bag couldnt hold up any longer. Without hesitation, Li Su released the crystal coffin, as keeping it inside the storage bag would lead to its space collapsing, and the crystal coffin emerging anyway. It was better to preserve one storage bag. The crystal coffin landed nearby. Li Su looked over, and the mermaids eyes had already opened. Her eyes were a deep blue, similar to the color of the sea. Her eyes were even more beautiful than the blue eyes of Westerners Li Su had seen before he crossed over. At this moment, her eyes still seemed somewhat lifeless, having just opened. However, a remarkable change had already occurred. In the surrounding vortex of seawater, gentle streams of energy were rapidly flowing into the crystal coffin and entering her body. No wonder those four Mermaids wanted to use the Mermaid Pearl as an exchange, to have the person who entered the restriction send her back to the sea. Li Su understood as he witnessed this scene. This mermaid appeared to have used some secret technique to place herself in a state resembling a false death or an icy slumber. If an ordinary person were coincidentally trapped in ice, they could remain frozen for many years. At that time, this mermaids strength was undoubtedly at the Nascent Divinity stage. She had successfully endured the long years by putting herself in a state of false death or hibernation, surviving until now. However, such a method couldnt be used casually. It required many prerequisites and the corresponding secret techniques or tools. Otherwise, why wouldnt those four Mermaids at the Nascent Soul stage use such a method? Why didnt the cultivators from that immortal sect use this method? How she was waking up now probably involved entering the seawater and absorbing its energy. After being sealed in the crystal coffin for so long, her strength was likely greatly diminished. Of course, even in her worst condition, she should still have the strength of the Nascent Soul stage.New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com At this moment, her peculiar energy in the seawater was rapidly absorbed by her. This place is practically her paradise! Li Su realized. This incredibly dangerous location for cultivators was nothing short of a paradise for this mermaid. No wonder so many sea creatures were drawn to the vortex. She spoke in both the language of the sea clan and an ancient tongue, creating a language barrier. However, they could still communicate through their spiritual senses, allowing direct exchange of thoughts and enabling Li Su to learn more about the mermaids background. Li Su extended his spiritual senses, and the mermaid mirrored his intent, allowing them to communicate. Thank you for bringing me to our territory, but why did you stop me from recovering? she asked. Li Su now understood the mermaids perspective this place was her ancestral land. It made sense given the history of sea clan activities along the North Sea coast. We attacked the Northern Territory because it was not our fault. We just wanted to retrieve the sacred artifacts stolen by humans. When humans refused, we launched the war, she explained. This is my ancestral land. If you prevent me from recovering, my people wont be friendly to you, the mermaid conveyed through her spiritual senses. Li Su responded, Your people? Dont you understand your situation yet? The mermaid appeared perplexed, but she realized no signs of her people when she looked around. She began to comprehend the situation. How much time has passed? she asked with concern. Li Su replied, I dont know for sure, but at least ten thousand years, possibly twenty or thirty thousand years, or even longer. The mermaids expression changed drastically. Given the relatively short lifespans of most cultivators, the notion of at least ten thousand years was challenging to accept. Has it really been that long? she mumbled in disbelief. The mermaid finally acknowledged the reality when Li Su flicked a drop of water, causing a nearby building to crumble. She looked around, her eyes filled with profound sadness.
