Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea Chapter 6 - Six: First Journey into the Depths of the Sea

Ti flew like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

During this ti, Lu Li would carve the Blood Sacrificial Rune and water the Beast Egg every day.

He also practiced his Cultivation Technique and Sword Technique, leading a very fulfilling life.

At noon, Lu Li walked into the Spiritual Beast Room and carefully examined the Beast Egg in front of him.

The egg radiated a bright translucence all around it, its Life Force growing stronger and more vigorous, feeling like a blazing fla even from a distance.

The Blood Sacrificial Rune had already reappeared, covering the entire shell, looking very mysterious.

Due to the long-term consumption of Essence Blood, his complexion had turned sowhat pale, but fortunately, it had completely ended, and he would recover well after several months of rest.

Lu Li stepped forward, picked up a few discarded Spirit Stones from around the Beast Egg, replaced them with new ones, and then left the Spiritual Beast Room.

Afterward, he ca to the edge of the Spirit Field outside his cave, and activated the "Cloud Rain Skill" Magic Spell.

A breeze passed by, and clouds quickly gathered in the sky, soon followed by a light drizzle of rain.

The young spirit plants, nourished by the rain, appeared even fresher and more luscious.

Having done all this, he began to practice his Sword Technique again, aiming to reach a minor level of mastery soon.

The days slowly slipped away like this.

One day, Lu Li returned to the Spiritual Beast Room.

The scene before him made him frown.

The Spiritual Light on the Beast Egg had dimd considerably, and even the fla of life had weakened a lot.

These abnormalities left him very surprised.

He surveyed the surroundings; the few Water Attribute Spirit Stones he had placed a few days before were still brimming with Spiritual Energy.

This made him even more puzzled.

"Could it be...?"

Suddenly, Lu Li thought of a possibility.

Several days passed by, and indeed, the changes in the Beast Egg confird his suspicion.

He stood inside the Spiritual Beast Room with a sowhat odd expression on his face.

The condition of the Green Spirit Python now vaguely resembled sothing Lu Li had read about in an ancient book, "the birth of a Beast King."

It is said that so Demon Beasts are born with astonishing potential and, after hatching, will beco Demon Beast Kings.

The Demon Beast King not only possesses incredible strength, surpassing its peers, but also holds a sliver of hope for its bloodline's ancestry to be restored.

However, this challenge is quite difficult; failure to overco it would result in a stillborn.

Lu Li watched the Beast Egg quietly, his face starting to grow tense.

It seed that the Spiritual Liquid had greatly enhanced the potential of the Beast Egg, giving it a chance to beco a Beast King.

If the hatching of the Beast Egg failed, the loss would be significant.

This challenge could only be faced by the egg itself; Lu Li had done almost everything he could.

In the following days, the Life Force of the Beast Egg continued to decay.

Lu Li stood in front of the Beast Egg, feeling extrely anxious.

The shell began to lose its luster, and the fla of life seed to flicker like a dying fla, about to extinguish at any mont.

If not for the faint fluctuations he could still sense, he might have thought it was a dead egg already.

Lu Li sighed; it seed the Green Spirit Python would not make it, and his considerable efforts would be in vain, leaving him temporarily dejected.

He turned and walked out.

In the following month, he visited the Beast Egg daily, which remained in that half-dead state.

Lu Li had completely lost hope, it seed this was a failed hatching.

One day, early in the morning.

Lu Li ca to the Spiritual Beast Room again to check on the situation.

Suddenly, he felt sothing unusual inside the Beast Egg, the fla of life twitched slightly.

He almost doubted his own eyes, then began to hold his breath and concentrate on the Beast Egg.

Indeed, after a short while, the fla of life inside the Beast Egg twitched once more, then surged significantly, reaching half of its original strength.

"Success!"

Lu Li was instantly exhilarated; his long days of effort finally paid off.

At that mont, a small whirlwind suddenly started within the Spiritual Beast Room.

The Spiritual Energy around began to rapidly converge and slowly entered into the Beast Egg.

"Hungry..."

At the sa ti, a thought suddenly erged deep within Lu Li's mind, which he perceived clearly.

Without hesitation, he took out the refining demon pot and refined another Demon Corpse.

Before long, a portion of Spiritual Liquid was ford once again.

Afterward, he walked over to the beast egg and slowly poured the spiritual liquid onto the shell. Soon, a satisfied consciousness transmitted into his mind.

Lu Li smiled, it seed the other party had completely taken shape, and its intelligence was not low either. Worthy of being a Demon Beast King.

Having done all this, he then walked out.

In the following days, besides familiarizing himself with the arrays and practicing sword techniques every day, he watered the beast egg.

That day, when Lu Li ca to the spirit beast room, he noticed the life force of the beast egg had beco several tis more vigorous than before.

It radiated a translucent brilliance like colored glaze and even emitted a faint spiritual pressure.

It looked like the spirit beast was about to be born.

After confirming this information, Lu Li couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, quietly waiting.

Several hours passed, and suddenly there was a light "crack" sound, and a few cracks appeared on the top of the shell.

Before long, a pitch-black snake's head erged, flickering its forked tongue as it looked around.

When the little snake saw Lu Li, its eyes revealed an excited light.

A sense of closeness also ca from the depths of Lu Li's mind, and he quietly observed the spirit beast.

Then the little snake swiftly broke through the shell, and its whole body ca out.

It started to bite the eggshell next to it and gobbled it up in no ti at all.

After eating, its body suddenly grew a section, transforming into a small-sized python about the thickness of an arm and half the height of a person.

Then it crawled over to Lu Li and coiled around him.

Lu Li carefully felt the spirit beast's breath; it was born at the fourth level of Qi Cultivation, breath astonishingly powerful.

"From now on, you'll be called Iron Pillar."

He imdiately took out the Spiritual Beast Bag and collected it inside; the other party did not resist at all.

In the following months, Lu Li fed the spirit beast and practiced cultivation techniques and sword techniques every day.

Until recently when the spiritual liquid was completely depleted, the Green Spirit Python also underwent great changes.

Lu Li stood outside the cave on the mountain peak, carefully sizing up the Green Spirit Python.

The body of the python was more than a zhang long, about the thickness of an adult's lower leg.

The pitch-black scales all over its body shone with a dim light, appearing to have strong defense.

The python's head was triangular-shaped, and at this mont, it was flickering its tongue, its pair of cold eyes causing one to shudder.

Months had passed, the Green Spirit Python had reached the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, and the surrounding spiritual pressure was truly astonishing.

At that mont, Lu Li took out Aminokaze and began practicing his sword technique.

With mana energized, the surrounding spiritual energy began to ripple, and several hours later, Aminokaze suddenly blazed with light, in the blink of an eye turning into twelve sword shadows, forming a small Sword Array.

"The sword technique has finally achieved a minor level of proficiency!"

A few days ago, he had felt a bottleneck, and today he had indeed broken through.

...

Nightfall brought a bright moon and sparse stars, with silence all around.

Lu Li arrived at the northwestern edge of Golden Qilin Island, above a coast.

This sea region belonged to the periphery of the Sunset Dragon Sea.

Getting closer to the north ant gradually going deeper into the Inner Sea, while the south was known as the Land of Ruins, where the spiritual energy was chaotic and extrely dangerous.

He walked to the seaside and with a leap, his entire body plunged straight into the sea.

The mont he entered the water, he felt a coldness envelop his body, a salty and damp sll flooding his nose and mouth.

Below the sea surface was even more dark and obscure.

Lu Li quickly operated the Water Repelling Technique until a spiritual light enveloped him, making him feel much better.

He swam gradually deeper, occasionally turning his head to observe the surroundings.

Now and then, he could feel so fish swimming past him.

Around him, seaweed and various plants revealed their fine details under the sweep of his Divine Sense.

As he delved deeper, and around four hundred ters deep, he felt the spiritual energy depleting very rapidly.

The pressure around him also suddenly increased a lot; he knew this was probably the limit for normal Cultivators.

Cultivators with full Qi Cultivation and those above Foundation Establishnt could definitely dive deeper, but in comparison to the tens of thousands of ters deep ocean, it was still far from enough.

Thus, the ocean was the forbidden area for Human Clan Cultivators, and at the bottom of the sea, Human Clan Cultivators could usually only exert seventy to eighty percent of their strength, which was very dangerous when encountering a Demon Beast of the sa level.

But for Lu Li, this was an opportunity sent from heaven, the entire vast ocean would beco his hunting ground.

After testing it out, Lu Li didn't push himself further.

He directly operated the Demon Refining Pot, and his whole body suddenly transford.

A huge demon snake appeared at the bottom of the sea, and at that mont, he felt the pressure on his body suddenly lessen, everything around becoming much more familiar.

Lu Li, controlling the demon body, continued to swim towards the deeper parts of the sea bottom.
