Although there were many doubts in his heart, Xiao Yu did not say them out in front of the Dragon Emperor. He just discussed the affairs of Dragon City with him, then said goodbye and returned to Xuantian Pavilion again.
The Dragon King also kept his promise. The day after Xiao Yu left, the mermaid clan returned to the deep sea again.
When mermaids return to the deep sea, it does not mean that they have come into the sight of humans, but that they can come and go freely. They no longer need to pay tribute to the dragon clan, and they no longer need to be controlled by people for food.
For this reason, the elders of the mermaid clan personally went to Xuantian Pavilion to thank Xiao Yu.
The other party gave Xiao Yu a gift, which was a mermaid root bone.
It's just that the bone is a little different, it's dark blue and transparent, and it looks particularly beautiful.
Xiao Yu directly rejected the blue fish bone. He had many treasures now and there was no need to search for things from the mermaid clan.
The old turtle in the deep sea said that Nuwa mended the sky and the mermaid mended the sea. Although it was just a simple mending of the sea, but if they could be compared with Nuwa, then they had their own special qualities.
Moreover, the ancestors of Xuantian Pavilion had a relationship with the mermaid tribe, so as a junior, Xiao Yu naturally could not ask for their treasure.
"The Immortal doesn't want this bone. Is it because he dislikes it?"
The great elder of the mermaid tribe asked hesitantly while sitting in Xiao Yudong's mansion.
One day ago, after the mermaid was freed, the elders learned the news from the outside world.
When they learned that Xiao Yu had achieved breakthrough and become a saint, they were particularly shocked and at the same time very surprised.
I think back then, Xiao Yu broke into the mermaid clan with only a small amount of cultivation. At that time, he was just an insignificant little Taoist priest to the mermaid clan. Any elder of the mermaid clan could kill him.
But now, the other party has become the savior of the mermaid clan. Things are unpredictable, who knows what will happen next?
"Great Elder, you are too polite. Xiao Yu would not dare to accept such an expensive gift.
The mermaid clan was kind to me, Xiao Yu, and if I still ask for reward for this little effort, wouldn't it be the same as doing business?"
Xiao Yu waved his hand to the other party. In fact, he wanted to say that it was useless for him to want that bone.
If it were some powerful magic weapon, he could still consider it, but a single bone would not have much effect on him.
After listening to Xiao Yu's words, the great elder of the mermaid clan looked a little better, then he stood up and said.
"The Immortal has given me the gift of recreating my mermaid clan. My whole clan is filled with gratitude. If necessary in the future, my mermaid clan will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The great mermaid elder looked solemn, as if at this moment, the other party regarded Xiao Yu as a true friend of the mermaid clan.
"You're welcome, Great Elder. I'm afraid I'll have to leave for a while. If you have anything to do in the future, just go to the head of Xuantian Pavilion. He will definitely help you."
Xiao Yu did not tell the other party that he was planning to go to the Ninth Heaven. After all, it was a Xuanmen secret and could not be told to everyone. Moreover, the other party's cultivation level had not reached the level and he was not qualified to go with him.
"In that case, I'll take my leave."
After hearing Xiao Yu's words, the great elder of the mermaid paused for a moment, then gave Xiao Yu his hand and withdrew like that.
Seeing the other person's leaving figure, Xiao Yu suddenly paused, then frowned slightly.
If it is true as Xuangui said, Nuwa mends the sky and mermaids mend the sea, then this mermaid clan is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Maybe there is really a powerful tribe of mermaids on the ninth heaven. Xiao Yu was hesitant whether he should tell the mermaids that he was planning to go to the ninth heaven.
There is no strong person in the mermaid clan suitable to accompany them, but they may want Xiao Yu to help them find their own clan.
For the mermaid clan, finding their own clan brings new hope, but for Xiao Yu, bringing a word has no impact.
Moreover, Xiao Yu only knew Granny Gu in the Nine Heavens, and Granny Gu had a middle-class family.
If one day, the relationship between himself and Granny Gu breaks out, who can be his reinforcements?
Therefore, if you can really help the mermaid clan bring messages to the ninth heaven, then you can build a relationship with the mermaid clan.
The mermaid clan at that time might be of great help to me.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu said to himself.
"Great Elder, please stay. I have one more thing to explain to you."
Although Xiao Yu was talking to himself, the great elder of the mermaid clan who had just flown out of Xuantian Pavilion suddenly became physically stunned.
There was a strange expression on the other party's face, but he did not hesitate and returned to Xiao Yu's cave again.
"Shangxian, I wonder if there is anything I need to explain?"
The supreme elder of the mermaid clan stood in the middle of the cave and asked Xiao Yu with his hands raised.
Xiao Yu waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down.
Then the bright-eyed boy immediately served the other party a cup of spiritual tea.
"I told you before that I am leaving immediately.
But I haven’t made it clear to you, do you know anything about the spiritual world?”
Xiao Yu said straight to the point.
"Spirit world?"
The great elder of the mermaid tribe was slightly startled, and then whispered to himself.
"To be precise, it should be the thirty-third heaven!
I call the Nine Heavens the spiritual world, and the place I want to go to first is the Nine Heavens."
Xiao Yu was afraid that the other party didn't know, so he explained it to him again.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Yu's explanation this time, the expression of the great elder of the mermaid clan suddenly changed.
"Is the Immortal going to the ninth heaven?"
The other party suddenly asked in surprise.
Xiao Yu nodded seriously, then walked down from the stone bed and sat down opposite him.
"I'm going to the Nine Heavens, but the Dragon Emperor is not going with me. If they make things difficult for you again after I leave, what are your plans?"
Xiao Yu looked at the other party and asked seriously.
"this……"
The great elder of the mermaid tribe was a little embarrassed. What Xiao Yu said was indeed a problem.
I thought I would be able to sit back and relax after being freed from the control of the Dragon Clan this time, but I didn't expect Xiao Yu to leave at this time. Then wouldn't the Human Fish Clan have to follow the same path again in the future?
When Xiao Yu saw that the other party was silent, he was not in a hurry and just sat quietly like that.
About ten minutes later, the mermaid tribe's supreme elder suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Xiao Yu.
"This is the fate of our mermaid clan. We are powerless to change it now. The Immortal is going to the ninth heaven. This is a chance.
I am deeply pleased to be able to meet the Immortal today and to know that you are going to the Ninth Heaven.
My cultivation is shallow, and although I am unable to change the current impasse, there is still hope for our mermaid clan."
Having said this, the mermaid tribe's supreme elder hesitated and took out a blue scroll from his sleeve.
"To be fair to the immortal, my mermaid clan actually came here from the Nine Heavens!
However, the ancestor who came from the Nine Heavens has passed away and the heavenly gate has been closed. Naturally, we cannot get in touch with the upper world, so we stay here.
This was an imperial edict issued by the Heavenly Court at that time. There are many oceans in the world and the depths are unfathomable, and there are always omissions.
And I, the mermaid tribe, have come here to fill the sea of holes."
