Chapter 501: Chapter 500: Undersea Human Clan

Peter Brown was arranged to stay in a nice small courtyard house in the backyard, which looked quite like a Suzhou garden at first glance.

"Sir, this is Elena, the maid. You can instruct her with any requests you may have." Not only did the innkeeper arrange Peter Brown’s accommodation, but he also brought an attractive maid.

"You are too kind, Mr. Innkeeper."

"Not at all, your trust in letting me sell the Black Lotus Herb is well appreciated."

After the innkeeper left, Elena quickly prepared some food and said: "Master, please have your meal."

Peter looked at Elena and pointed to the chair, saying, "Sit down and talk."

After Elena sat down, Peter looked at her and asked, "Can you tell me about this Undersea World?"

"Of course, the innkeeper asked me to be candid with you."

The girl was quite eloquent and had a certain affinity.

Peter asked, "I heard from the waiter that there are quite a few humans here. What is the situation of humans in the undersea world?"

Elena said, "Actually, there weren’t many humans initially under the sea, they were mostly captured by the Sea Clan from the land. Generally, humans were used for their service. Somehow, some human cultivators were also captured and brought here. They brought some human cultivation arts. As you might have noticed, Master, there is plenty of spiritual energy here, and there are many resources for cultivation under the sea. Therefore, human cultivators became powerful quickly, and thus, war broke out between humans and the Sea Clan."

Peter said, "There are so many Sea Clans, and humans are relatively few."

"Indeed, at first, humans suffered consecutive defeats, and they were almost wiped out. Later, a few Golden Core Stage experts emerged among the humans and turned the tide of the battle. During the war with the Sea Clan, they killed numerous Sea Clans and retreated. Afterwards, both parties established a Covenant that stipulated that there would be non-aggression between the two races and that the Sea Clan could not expand to the land."

Golden Core!

This was the highest cultivation realm Peter knew of on Earth, and he was astonished: "Are there Golden Core Stage experts on Earth?"

Elena said, "Yes, how they arrived and how they became Golden Core experts is unclear, but after establishing the Covenant, they disappeared. Later, people could only reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and there were no more Golden Core Stage cultivators."

Peter couldn’t figure out this matter and pondered deeply. Indeed, the Undersea World was very complicated.

Peter now understood why the Sea Clan did not invade the land.

"What happened after that?"

"Due to the Covenant, the development of the Sea Clan was also restricted. They could only develop within the sea at first. The two parties still clashed, but gradually, they began to live together in a city. However, the Sea Clan divided the humans into the lowest class, and unfortunately, the Golden Core experts did not interfere in this matter. It seemed as though they had disappeared, and this way of partition has been maintained ever since."

Peter thought about it and said, "With no more Golden Core experts among humans, wouldn’t the Sea Clan target humans again?"

Elena said, "They certainly would like to, but the Covenant stipulates that anyone above the second level of the Foundation Establishment stage must ascend Heaven’s path, or they will be bombarded by the Heavenly Thunder that formed the Covenant. Because of this rule, many people have been killed by the Heavenly Thunder."

"There is a Heavenly Path here as well?"

At this point, Peter was truly astonished.

"Yes, there is more than one Undersea Heavenly Path. They are located in various oceans, but they are one-way paths: you can only leave but not return. And after being set up, only when one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage can they ascend the Heavenly Path; those below the Foundation Establishment stage cannot."

"So, the reason why the experts under the sea do not go to the land is because of the existence of the Covenant?"

"Yes, it’s not that everyone doesn’t go, but it’s difficult for them to reach land, and if they stay on the land for more than five days without returning, the power of the Covenant will use the Power of Heavenly Dao to kill them."

Peter thought of another question, asking suspiciously, "Ordinary mortals should not be able to breathe underwater. How do they travel to other cities?"

"There are two ways to travel between Undersea Cities. One is through the undersea path where one can walk inside. However, it is too dark, and you must have a Night Pearl for illumination. There is no need to worry about the humans’ breathing, as there are undersea plants providing oxygen along the way. The other option is to use an ancient teleportation formation. As long as you pay a certain fee, you can freely travel to various cities."

So that’s how it works!

Peter asked again, "I saw checking points at the crystal gate when I came, it seems that only members of the Sea Clan can enter?"

"Yes, humans cannot enter there. It is intended to guard against unidentified Sea Demons within the Sea Clan. This sea still has Demon Bandits who do not submit to management and frequently invade the city. If discovered, experts will be sent to exterminate them."

"According to your explanation, there are two forces under the sea: one is human, and the other is the Sea Clan. In this case, there must be some powers in a dominant position in various cities. How do they manage this?"

Peter found that Elena knew quite a lot and asked in detail.

Elena said, "The sea implements a Royal Federation system. As long as your power is strong enough, whether you are human or Sea Clan, you will have a large administrative area."

"No human experts have returned to the land from here?" Peter had another doubt.

Elena said, "When cultivators reach a high level of cultivation here, they already have vast powers in the undersea world. Besides, land does not have such rich spiritual energy and resources. Everyone would rather not go to the land."

Hearing this, Peter secretly blamed himself. People on land worried about the Sea Clan’s invasion every day. In fact, the Sea Clan couldn’t care less about the land, and they were unable to stay on land for long.

At this point, Peter was relieved that the land would not be invaded by the Sea Clan.

"There should be some land-based cultivation experts coming here. How does this place manage people like them?" Peter thought of his own arrival.

"It’s quite normal. Some Foundation Establishment stage experts might come. They just need to go to the city’s Administrative Institution to obtain an identity, and they will be allowed to move freely here."
