Chapter 412 - 412: Lord of Coral, Secret of the Mystic Realm (2)

From a distance, a cluster of grand coral palaces, adorned with numerous giant corals, rose within an underwater basin. Among them, fluorescent trees grew, casting a gentle glow.

Hundreds of stone pillars encircled the edges in a pattern, adorned with runes and emitting a faint light, indicating they were more than just decorations. Small marine creatures darted between the palace structures like tiny specks.

However, the most eye-catching feature was the large, inverted-bowl-like white canopy that enveloped the entire palace cluster.

This appearance easily brought to mind the protective arrays of sects one might find in a cultivation novel.

As the forces of the Crown of the Ocean appeared, several Coral Palace patrol teams rushed over, but upon seeing the half-fish being leader of the army at the forefront, they all converged towards him.

The half-fish being leader swam forward to explain.

Soon, the Coral Palace soldiers regarded Ji Chen with friendly eyes.

No matter who you were, as long as you are here to deal with the scoundrels from the Dragon King’s City, you are their friend.

While excited about their achievements in eliminating a Dragon King’s City thousand-strong squad, they couldn’t help but be curious about Ji Chen.

A human lord from beyond the world…

What does the world outside look like?

On this day, the normally tranquil Coral Palace suddenly buzzed with activity.

A human lord from beyond the Great Luminescent Sea had visited with his formidable army.

Inside the central area of the Coral Palace, within a coral-made hall.

Ji Chen sat at a table made of some kind of coral, with Alice and Anina standing behind him on either side.

Behind other tables in the hall sat various Coral Palace nobles, each with their own unique aquatic features.

At a glance, he could find shrimp, crabs, fish, and more, almost in their complete variety.

In the entire hall, he was the only human, and being scrutinized by all these seafood creatures felt somewhat surreal.

But he noticed something peculiar – all these Coral Palace nobles had some humanoid characteristics to varying degrees. For instance, the shrimp had hands instead of pincers, and the crabs had legs instead of crab claws.

They couldn’t be considered humans because they appeared somewhat unlike typical humans, while they might represent shrimps, yet they were not entirely shrimp-like.

At first glance, it seemed like a mishmash of creatures that had escaped from some kind of biological laboratory.

“Are all the sea clans in the deep sea like this?”

Upon hearing Ji Chen’s muttering, Anina lowered her head and whispered in his ear.

“Not all of them. Sea clans typically follow two evolutionary paths. They either retain a purely biological form or shift towards a more human-like appearance.

Both Alice and I fall into the latter category, but we are both high-ranking sea clans, capable of freely shifting between our biological and humanoid forms.”

With this explanation, Ji Chen began to understand.

Soon, this banquet, which served both as a welcoming celebration and a commemoration of the defeat of the Dragon King’s City thousand-strong squad, began under the strange melodies played by several shrimp people blowing some seashell instruments.

As soon as the music started, many Coral Palace nobles began to enjoy themselves. Just when they wanted to chat with the human who claimed to be from another world, they realized that the man had disappeared without them noticing.

In front of a more luxurious coral palace in the central area, the half-fish being leader stopped. “Lord Ji Chen, the Lord of the Coral awaits you inside.

But only you may enter; these two guests must remain outside…”

Ji Chen nodded slightly, gesturing for Alice and the others to wait outside, and then he entered.

The coral door behind him closed, and he began to assess his surroundings.

This coral palace was approximately the size of three basketball courts, standing over twenty meters tall. Its irregular but aesthetically pleasing top was supported by thick coral pillars.

The interior was adorned with luxurious decorations. Luminous pearls hung from the ceiling, illuminating the place like daylight. Even the tables and chairs made of coral were embedded with large pearls and gemstones, engraved with beautiful patterns and designs.

Just placing one of these chairs in the Northern Continent market could fetch an exorbitant price. The level of intricacy and beauty was enough to make even elven designers feel ashamed.

However, he furrowed his brow.

He had already found something peculiar in the banquet hall earlier. Why were the houses used by the sea clans filled with human-style furnishings?

This included the tables and chairs they used, interior decorations, and various furnishings, all of which seemed designed for human use.

Ji Chen had observed in the Catfish Village before. The giant corals where the catfish resided mainly had a single layer of soft seaweed for sleeping, with nothing else.

In other words, these sea clans in the Coral Palace didn’t require unnecessary human furniture, which made it all the more unsettling.

Just as he was puzzled, a figure emerged from behind the pearl curtain deep within the palace.

With a graceful face and dressed in a white gown, she had ivory-like bare feet, giving the initial impression of a human woman.

However, the white scales on her forehead and behind her ears indicated that she wasn’t human but a sea clan.
