Starting from iron smelting

Chapter 143: Heavenly Radiance Stone

Lu Xiuyuan widened his eyes and stared straight at the mermaid princess Nishang beside him. Deep in his heart, he felt a strong shock that could not be expressed in words.

Princess Nishang had a graceful figure, like a fairy from heaven; her shiny black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently brushing against her snow-white skin, exuding an intoxicating fragrance; her skin was crystal clear and as white as jade, as if she carried the holiness and purity of moonlight in the water.

Lu Xiuyuan knew very well that Princess Nishang's aura was unfathomable and extremely powerful, and she should have reached the strength level of the late foundation building stage.

However, the moment she made her move, the power she displayed far exceeded the power that this realm should have! She easily killed several extremely ferocious monsters in one fell swoop. Such terrifying strength really made people feel terrified and breathless!

Princess Nishang seemed to have sensed Lu Xiuyuan's fiery gaze. She turned her head lightly, and her deep and charming eyes sparkled with intelligence and mystery. She raised her lips slightly, revealing a brilliant smile, and whispered to Lu Xiuyuan: "Mr. Lu, you don't have to be so surprised. Under this body of water, this is the territory of our mermaids. We have been dependent on water since we were young, and we live and coexist harmoniously with all kinds of creatures living in the water. To us, these so-called monsters are just ordinary little animals. Therefore, it is naturally easy to deal with these few small monsters."

When Lu Xiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. He never expected that the mermaids actually had such amazing strength, and in that mysterious and deep underwater world, they existed like gods who controlled everything. Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help his curiosity and blurted out: "Princess Nishang, you are a member of the demon race, but why are you willing to lend a helping hand to an ordinary human cultivator like me?"

Princess Nishang raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and responded softly: "Master Lu, I'm afraid you don't understand the reason yet. Although we, the mermaids, belong to the category of demons, we are very different from those evil beasts who only know how to kill and kill. We not only have smart minds and rich emotions, but also know how to cherish life and respect nature. We will never kill easily, nor will we harm others for our own selfish desires. For us, the mermaids should coexist harmoniously with the human race and live in peace."

After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly understood. He had never thought that there was such a noble and wise race among the demons. He was deeply moved and his respect for the mermaids deepened. He said, "Princess Nishang, I really admire the wisdom and kindness of you mermaids. If humans and demons could coexist peacefully like you, there would be less disputes and killings in the world."

After hearing this, Princess Nishang's eyes flashed with admiration. She said, "Mr. Lu, you are indeed a man of insight. We mermaids have always longed to coexist peacefully with humans, but the conflict between the mermaids and humans is deep-rooted and difficult to reconcile. However, I believe that as long as both sides are sincere and determined, these conflicts will be resolved one day."

After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan's heart was filled with passion. He said, "Princess Nishang, you are right! As long as both sides are sincere and determined, I believe we can resolve these conflicts. I am willing to do my part!"

After hearing this, Princess Nishang smiled with joy. She said, "Mr. Lu, I feel your determination. To express my gratitude and welcome to you, I decided to take you to visit our underwater palace. It is one of our treasures and a witness to our culture and history."

When Lu Xiuyuan heard this, he was overwhelmed with excitement. He was extremely anxious and wanted to see the legendary mysterious and colorful underwater palace with his own eyes. So he followed Princess Nishang closely and swam hard towards the palace.

As they continued to dive deeper, a transparent palace that seemed to be carved from the purest and most flawless crystal in the world gradually came into view. The palace exuded an intoxicating and charming luster, and was extremely beautiful! All around the palace, all kinds of colorful marine creatures swam leisurely, sometimes playing and fighting, and sometimes swiftly shuttling through the water, forming a harmonious and beautiful picture with the entire palace.

Princess Nishang led Lu Xiuyuan into the palace with light steps. As soon as he entered the palace, Lu Xiuyuan was stunned by the scene in front of him - the decoration inside the palace was extremely luxurious, magnificent and dazzling! Various brightly colored corals, crystal clear pearls and dazzling gems were inlaid between the walls and ceilings, complementing each other, emitting a charming luster, attracting people's attention.

In the center of the palace, there was an enormous crystal throne, standing there steadily like a majestic mountain. On the throne was inlaid a huge pearl, which was round and smooth, like a bright moon, emitting a warm and bright glow, which made Lu Xiuyuan fall in love with it.

At this moment, Lu Xiuyuan stood at the bottom of the lake, his heart filled with shock and amazement. He had never thought that under this bottomless lake, there was actually such a magnificent palace like the Dragon Palace. The beauty here was so unreal, like a dream, as if it brought him into a mysterious and wonderful fairyland.

Looking up, there is an extremely large gem hanging above the palace. It is as big as a big watermelon and shines with a dazzling light that is too bright to look at directly. This gem illuminates the entire world under the lake, making everything clear and beautiful.

Under the refraction of light, this gem shone with dazzling colorful light, just like the stars shining in the night sky. Its brilliance was so brilliant that it not only illuminated every corner of the entire palace, but also made the originally calm lake water around it ripple with layers of golden ripples, which was beautiful beyond words.

Seeing this wonder, Lu Xiuyuan was overwhelmed by it. He couldn't help but stretch out his fingers to gently touch the magical light emitted by the gemstone. He seemed to feel an endless and powerful force gushing out from it. Seeing this, Princess Nishang on the side raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "This is the treasure of my mermaid tribe that has been passed down for thousands of years - the Tianyao Stone. According to legend, in ancient times, a meteorite fell here. The huge impact force generated when it landed created a huge deep pit, and this is where you and I are now - Lei Ze."
