Chapter 66 Ice Shark Clan
The Ice Shark Clan is a shark that is hundreds of kilometers long, covered in ice-blue scales, and its every move blends into the icy seawater.
However, when not in combat, the Ice Shark Clan transforms into a figure with a shark's head and a human body.
"King Sharp Teeth," the two guards outside the temple said respectfully, "the High Priest has instructed that you may proceed directly to the central hall of the temple upon your arrival."
Having said that, he opened the entrance to the temple.
"What a hassle, why did it have to be my turn this time?" King Sharp Teeth cursed inwardly. Collecting the ice crystal marrow was a time-consuming task, and he had to be on standby at all times for the next thousand years.
The Spirit Fish Clan is not a weak race, and it is impossible for them to send ordinary Ice Shark Clan Immortals.
Following the passage deeper, we arrived at the temple hall.
Seated on one side of the seats were three members of the Spirit Fish Clan who had been granted titles in this temple: the Spirit Fish Priest, Ling Gu, and an unfamiliar titled King.
"Your Majesty, this is the Ice Crystal Marrow." The priest respectfully presented a piece of ice-blue crystal, with a total of 1081 facets, radiating a rich aura of law.
"You're smart enough to know what's good for you." King Sharp-Toothed put it into his world ring and continued, "Hand over the Spirit Fish Tears from your temple as well."
Tears of the Spirit Fish!
Upon hearing these four words, Ling Gu showed surprise, and even Lu Xing in the World Ring was extremely surprised.
"We have all of these!" Lu Xing smiled.
The Tears of the Spirit Fish is a highly valuable artifact for restoring one's divine body. For example, if one has lost 8% of their divine body, only two drops are needed to restore it.
But these two drops, each worth 500 billion Chaos Units, are treasures that can absolutely turn the tide of battle because the Spirit Fish Tears can heal extremely quickly, completing the recovery in just a few breaths.
A hint of seriousness flashed subtly in the priest's eyes, then he smiled and said, "You jest, sir. This temple is only a million kilometers in circumference. How could it possibly produce the Tears of the Spirit Fish?"
"Is that so?" King Sharp Teeth laughed, his gaze sweeping over the spirit fish priest and landing on the unfamiliar king seated there.
"Ice Armor King, that's not what you told me."
"I wasn't wrong." The Ice Armor King slowly stepped down from his seat and came to the priest's side. "A drop of spirit fish tear did indeed condense at the core of the temple. I saw it with my own eyes."
The priest's divine power surged wildly, but just as he was about to make a move, an even more terrifying aura enveloped the temple hall.
The King with Sharp Teeth is at the pinnacle of being a king, while the priests are only at a higher level than kings.
Originally, Ice Armor King was also a high-level King. With two high-level Kings and Ling Gu, they were enough to resist Sharp Tooth King and prevent him from acting recklessly.
"Lingbing," the priest called out the Ice Armor King's name directly, "Your clan has treated you well, expending countless resources to nurture you, yet you've betrayed us and joined the Ice Shark Clan!"
"Heh heh." The Ice Armor King cursed angrily, "I am the second strongest in the temple, the only one who should be the Spirit Fish Priest, and you strip me of my identity just because I trespassed once."
"Why should I?!"
"I am a candidate for the sacrifice, and I will have to go to the forbidden area sooner or later. Isn't it the same whether I go sooner or later?"
"Not qualified? Is that good-for-nothing Linggu qualified?"
"As a high-ranking king, I would be highly regarded even if I went to the Ice Shark Clan. Why can't I go? I have made many contributions to the clan over the years."
"Hahahaha." King Sharp Teeth laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I have already consulted with the clan elders, and from now on, you will be fully responsible for the task of collecting Ice Crystal Marrow."
"They wouldn't dare touch you, a mere spirit fish sacrifice!"
"Thank you, my lord," the Ice Armor King bowed.
The situation has reversed. With the Sharp-Toothed King and the Ice-Armored King combined, their strength is enough to sweep this temple away.
"Hand it over," King Sharp-Tooth roared. "I'll take it myself, and not a single Spirit Fish from the temple will be left behind."
The atmosphere became tense, and Lu Xing also sent a telepathic message to Ling Gu, telling him to release him as soon as he made a move.
A moment later...
The spirit fish priest laughed, "Here you go! It's just a drop of spirit fish tear, how can it compare to thousands upon thousands of our people?"
"Please wait here for a moment, my lord. I will go and fetch the Tears of the Spirit Fish. Ling Gu, come with me. It is time to tell you some things related to the ritual."
After saying this, the priest flew towards a passage, and Linggu followed.
"Do you know why I compromised?" the priest asked.
"Isn't it because they're afraid King Sharp-Tooth will go on a killing spree?" Ling Gu asked, puzzled.
"Hahahaha." The priest laughed, "Go on a killing spree? With just a peak-level King? This is the Spirit Fish Temple, the very foundation of our Spirit Fish Clan's survival and reproduction. What makes a peak-level King like him capable of going on a killing spree?"
"Why is that?" Linggu asked.
"The Heavenly Ice King has sent a message," the priest said calmly.
"Has he broken through?" Ling Gu was shocked. If he really had broken through, then the Spirit Fish Clan would rise to power.
The priest shook his head. "Not yet, but he is confident that within a thousand years, he will definitely be able to break through to the Universe Venerable level and become the new Spirit Lord of my Spirit Fish Clan."
"A thousand years is enough time for many changes to occur."
Ling Gu nodded. If the Ice Shark Clan were to mobilize its full force over a thousand years, it would be enough to wipe out the Spirit Fish Clan, especially since a Universe Venerable would be involved.
"Come with me, and I will tell you all the secrets of the priesthood. The core temple will also send a high-ranking king to assist you in guarding the temple," the priest said.
They can be considered beings from a secret realm, and given the extremely active fluctuations of the laws governing the Ice Zero Seawater, their probability of breaking through to immortality is not low. With a large base, the probability of becoming a king is also high.
However, this is relatively speaking. The Spirit Fish Clan has about 1000 kings who guard the Spirit Fish Temples in various locations.
"Could it be..." Ling Gu didn't finish his sentence, silently watching the priest.
"That's right." The priest nodded. "The Heavenly Ice King is about to break through, and we must not allow any more members of our clan to betray us. The example of Lingbing must never happen again."
"The other kings have arrived too late, I have to take action! Targeting only Lingbing shouldn't be too much for the Ice Shark Clan, sacrificing some resources is worthwhile."
Once the door to rebellion is opened, it could trigger a series of unpredictable consequences, and the Spirit Fish Clan must do something.
"Now listen to me. I will also compile the information. I believe you can do it." The priest began to explain the various key points of being a spirit fish priest.
Ling Gu listened attentively. He wondered if the priest would be furious if he knew that Ling Gu was Lu Xing's soul servant.
……
"Alright," the priest said, "you can stay here."
"A sacrificial ceremony." Ling Gu said, somewhat disappointed.
"Hahaha, I've always considered you and Lingbing as my own children, but things don't always go as planned," the priest said. "Go, and break through to the advanced level as soon as possible."
The priest was extremely old, having already been a King-level Immortal at least by the time Ling Gu was born. Ling Gu and Ling Bing were orphans from the battlefield, raised by the priest.
Lingbing himself may not know that the Ice Shark Clan is the enemy who killed his father.
