Wizard: Stronger through Marriage

Chapter 643: Chapter 277: Dual Cultivation in the Ocean

”It’s so beautiful here!”

Shuili said excitedly, gently stirring the water with her hand, while the little fish swam around her fingertips as if responding to her call.

Cynthia, however, focused her gaze, looking around. She could sense that something was hidden deeper within.

At that moment, the Mermaid Queen suddenly said, ”I can feel a strong magical force coming from certain areas. We can head there.”

The Clam Elder was somewhat puzzled.

This area had already been explored by the Sea Race; nothing should have been overlooked.

Furthermore, she hadn’t sensed any energy waves, increasing her confusion.

The group continued to swim forward, and soon, they found themselves in a serene and mysterious area.

Surrounded by towering corals and oddly shaped rocks, sunlight filtered through the rippling sea surface, casting colorful shadows.

In that tranquil area, the water flowed gently, as if whispering the secrets of the ocean.

David, along with Shuili and Cynthia, closely followed the footsteps of the Mermaid Queen, while the Clam Elder remained vigilant, trying to perceive all the changes around them.

Suddenly, a faint blue light flickered among the corals, appearing to guide them closer.

The Mermaid Queen stopped and frowned slightly, ”It’s this way, let’s take a look.”

As her voice faded, they slowly approached the spot where the light flickered.

When they passed through a spectacular array of corals, a curtain of water suddenly appeared before their eyes, revealing an ancient ruin covered in seaweed and coral on the other side.

The exterior of the ruin appeared worn, but its intricate carvings and unique designs exuded an extraordinary aura.

”This is... a holy land of the ancient Sea Race.” The Clam Elder whispered.

At that moment, the ancient ruin seemed to sense the special presence of the Mermaid Queen, and a mysterious and powerful light burst forth from a central boulder.

Blue light surged like a tide, illuminating the surroundings with a dreamlike quality.

”This place... seems to be responding to you.” The Clam Elder said in astonishment, feeling that a powerful force was drawing near.

As the light grew brighter, the carvings on the boulder began to move, unveiling ancient patterns depicting tales of the mystical creatures of the ocean combined with the source of power.

The Mermaid Queen, witnessing this scene, instinctively reached out to touch that blue radiance.

As her fingertips made contact with the stone, the patterns began emitting a warm and gentle glow, as if acknowledging her presence.

In the next moment, an entrance suddenly appeared.

”What’s going on?”

The Clam Elder looked surprised at the hidden identity of the Mermaid Queen.

She wondered why this place, resembling an ocean ruin, would be connected to the figure before her.

The Mermaid Queen’s eyes held complex emotions, as if recalling something.

She slowly withdrew her hand, took a deep breath, and with a determined gaze said, ”I once heard that this ruin was built by our Sea Race ancestors, and it holds the secret of the Heart of the Ocean. It only opens to a true Ocean Guardian under certain conditions.”

”Are you saying you’re a member of the Sea Race?” The Clam Elder asked incredulously, ”Why have you never mentioned your identity?”

”I... although I was born of the Sea Race, I chose to live incognito to protect this secret.” The Mermaid Queen replied somewhat heavily, ”My mission is to ensure these powers are not misused. Today, as I approached this ruin, I felt an invisible call, making me realize that it’s time to unveil these secrets.”

At this moment, a gentle and mysterious melody emerged from the entrance, as melodious as gentle waves caressing the shore.

With the melody, a stream of blue light flowed from within, transparent and brilliant like a crystal.

”Let’s go in and take a look.” The Mermaid Queen raised her head.

David nodded, leading the group closer, walking through the blue shimmering doorway.

After they passed through the entrance, a strong and warm magical aura enveloped them, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

It was a spacious and ancient hall, where small magic gemstones embedded in the walls flickered, depicting stories of the ancient Sea Race living in harmony with nature.

At that moment, a dazzling blue light surged from deep within.

”Is that an Elemental Crystal?” The Clam Elder pointed to the glowing light, ”Quick! We need to approach it carefully!”

David, Cynthia, and Shuili united their efforts, each using their unique methods to deal with any unknown creatures that might appear nearby.

As they cautiously approached the dazzling Elemental Crystal, they noticed the presence of small magical creatures seemingly acting as guardians, emitting vigilant and low-pitched calls.

”It seems these creatures are protecting this place.” The Clam Elder whispered, ”We need to find a way to make them let us through.”

These small magical fish aren’t strong, but their numbers are overwhelming.

Moreover, the energy within these small magical fish can resonate, forming a powerful Magic Spring.

With a sufficient number, they can exhibit the strength of the Fourth and Fifth Rings, and with even more, possibly the Sixth Ring.

”I can give it a try.” At that moment, Cynthia suddenly said confidently.

She placed her hand on her chest, and a warm and gentle magic aura surged from within, activating her Beastification Mark.
