Inside the clam shell, more than half of the uneven clam meat had unexpectedly disappeared.

To be precise, it started melting.

Along with the Void Nether Ore originally embedded in the clam meat, it gradually melted.

Finally, it fused into a grayish hue with a hint of silver glow, dripping and collecting, surging like waves within the empty clam shell.

"Swish~ Swish~"

Each time it precisely hit the pillar of meat where the Void Nether Grass was rooted, the only part where a little clam meat remained.

It was the first time for Li Ye to see such a Spirit Beast, using Spiritual Power to transform into waves to polish its own pearls, and through his perception, he discovered that the waves surged towards every angle and direction with almost the same speed and force.

It seemed more like a precise Refining Furnace than any Spirit Beast.

But he quickly noticed something amiss.

"No pearl nucleus?"

"Or planning to use Void Nether Grass as the pearl nucleus?"

As he was pondering, a small drop of juice started seeping from the tip of the Void Nether Grass, and as it dripped from the leaf, it had already condensed into a silvery-gray bead.

Every drop that dripped down was swept into the surging waves, swaying with them, with each swing a wisp of power seeping into the bead from the waves.

——This process was actually very slow, each drop taking a day to fall. Li Ye watched for a full seven or eight days before he thoughtfully withdrew his Divine Sense.

"Truly wondrous."

"What marvels will the pearl hold?"

He was indeed curious, but since producing such a pearl couldn't be accomplished overnight, he could only bind everything else and then gracefully swayed, heading deeper into the Sea Spirit Land.

As he descended, a group of fish with bodies like sharp swords, even exuding a sharp, cutting edge, flashed past him at an astonishing speed, disappearing in a blink to a mortal's eyes.

These were Third Tier Spirit Beasts known as "Sword Pillar Fish."

Their shape resembled a long, silver-white magical sword, with the beak serving as the hilt, ready to be wielded like a longsword, capable of emitting a spiritual light akin to Sword Qi.

They were also the most used "sword-type" Spirit Beasts by the Four Seasons Sect disciples in Magical Duels, not only swimming through the water but also capable of flying in the sky and mastering the Five Elements Escape Technique.

These peculiar fish had a characteristic: generally, two parent fish would produce precisely eighty-one fry, among which the lead fish would be stronger, smarter, and more perceptive.

These fry, born at the same time, had some unique connections, where just a command from the lead fish would make the others fearlessly follow.

They indeed had aided the cultivators of the Four Seasons Sect in many tasks, being fearless yet perceptive, coveted by many cultivators as Spirit Beasts. The Four Seasons Sect even had a sect rule concerning them.

Basically, it implied that they were not to be discarded or captured arbitrarily.

An entire Grotto Heaven was transported from the East Pole Yang Sea by the Sect to nurture these fish, but due to their fierce nature, they thrived best in actual marine environments.

The tribe where Yang Ke belonged to paid a lot of price and favors to obtain the opportunity to breed these Spirit Fish.

"Come."

He stopped and beckoned to the Sword Pillar Fish.

Then with a "whoosh," the Sword Pillar Fish, which had swum far away, instantly returned, and among them, the largest and strongest one voluntarily swam up to Li Ye.

Its eyes were peculiar, not simply fish eyes, rather just one eye like that of a Flood Dragon, exceptionally sharp yet not intimidating.

Holding a nearly agile expression within.

After swimming around Li Ye twice, it voluntarily extended its long beak resembling a sword hilt into Li Ye's hand.

It felt uniquely textured, like warm leather without any disgusting mucus, and upon gripping it, Li Ye could sense many strands of Spiritual Power entwining around his wrist.

It felt just like grasping a Magical Treasure long sword he had cultivated and nourished himself, a feeling of Mana connected yet filled with rhythms of vitality, extraordinarily fascinating.

When Li Ye attempted to inject his own Mana, the Sword Pillar Fish instantly changed color, displaying different hues with the variation of his power.

Li Ye's knowledge about Sword Pillar Fish was mainly from the sect's ancient texts, allowing him to access more texts after his Golden Core stage accomplishments, distilled essence from a thousand generations of the Four Seasons Sect.

However, honestly, even after memorizing those texts and holding the knowledge inside, nothing compared to personally experimenting with them.

He swung the Sword Pillar Fish a few times arbitrarily.

Although he never studied Swordsmanship, having spent some time at the Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, with Wei Qingye often proudly displaying newly learned sword techniques, attempting to lure him into the Sword Sect, he still knew some common knowledge about the techniques and force of swinging a sword.

His power was absorbed by the Sword Pillar Fish and then released by its body through fin-like blades, instantly causing some turbulence in the seawater, boiling it like simmering water.

Subsequently, other fish surrounded, faintly forming an array with their bodies as the core, absorbing the Sword Qi into themselves, before releasing it once more.

In an instant, hundreds of strands of spiritual light Sword Qi ascended, stirring the surrounding sea area spanning several dozen acres.
