Chapter 238 Worldly Fate [8] Out of Control and Confusion
Inside the palace, Shui Qingli remained oblivious to the outside world. He felt as if he were in a turbulent sea, where his usually calm immortal power was running rampant and even the gentle water molecules were going crazy with a desire to destroy everything.
During this process, his immortal power began to overflow uncontrollably. Unlike the light and gentle blue immortal power of the past, Shui Qingli's immortal power fluctuations exuded extreme danger and ravages, instantly stirring up the water of the entire Xuyan Sea and forming a huge whirlpool.
Countless marine creatures were swept into the whirlpool, experiencing the most direct danger in the waters they depended on for survival.
Even Haiyan and Haiqingtang dared not approach the palace rashly, and could only watch the situation with worry and curiosity.
As early as when Shui Qingli's immortal power began to show abnormalities, Yue Yuanming had already noticed it and immediately rushed over from afar, thus witnessing the scene of the water vortex.
However, looking in Shui Qingli's direction, Yue Yuanming's expression was somewhat complicated.
The day finally came. His Qingli was indeed as he had imagined, possessing a forbidden power of the same origin as his, capable of destroying the world.
However, Yue Yuanming was well aware of the terrifying and dangerous nature of this power. He didn't know if Shui Qingli could accept this innate immortal power and the side that was completely opposite to her own.
Yue Yuanming sighed softly. This matter could be discussed later. The most urgent task was to stop Shui Qingli from losing control, otherwise, Shui Qingli might have to go back to recuperate again.
Ultimately, there was an absolute difference in strength. When Yue Yuanming's immortal power spread, Xuyan Sea returned to its former tranquility, and the creatures in the seabed felt as if they had survived a calamity.
"Qingli!"
A deep voice suddenly rang in her ears, and as her remaining rationality gradually returned, Shui Qingli realized what she had done unconsciously.
Recalling the massive vortex from just now, Shui Qingli realized for the first time that there was another, yet untapped, side to her power.
Unlike the usual peacefulness in her memory, the immortal power at this moment was filled with destruction and ravages. Although it was also something she was born with, this completely opposite feeling made it difficult for Shui Qingli to adapt for a while.
Shui Qingli is not unfamiliar with this power; in some ways, it seems to originate from the same source as Yue Yuanming.
So the reason her power awakened might be because Shui Qingli had mastered some of the power of the laws, or it might be because of the sparring with Yue Yuanming before she fell into a deep sleep...
But... such power still left Shui Qingli bewildered.
What is the purpose of power? For him, power must be used to protect those who are of vital importance to him.
But protection and destruction are inherently contradictory. Can he really use this power, which could get out of control at any moment, to protect the people he cares about?
Shui Qingli couldn't give an answer, but thinking that the person he had been longing for was still outside the palace, he didn't want to think about it anymore.
Finally, after hundreds of years, the gates of this underwater palace were fully opened.
Haiyan and Haiqingtang watched as Shui Qingli flew out of the palace and headed straight for Yueyuanming, and for no reason felt a sense of submission from their primordial spirits—they were born from the sea and were children of water.
Shui Qingli had no time to pay attention to Hai Yan and Hai Qingtang who were still standing to the side; she was only looking at Yue Yuanming with concern, who seemed to have never changed.
It must have been tough on Yue Yuanming; it seems he's always been worried about his own affairs from the very beginning.
"Qingli, are you alright?" Yue Yuanming calmly examined Shui Qingli and found that he had only lost a little immortal power.
"I...I'm fine." Shui Qingli didn't know how to tell Yue Yuanming that he also possessed forbidden power, even though Yue Yuanming probably already knew.
The secret was only veiled by a thin layer of paper, but before that layer was torn down, both sides could maintain a superficial peace, which required someone to speak first.
For example, Shui Qingli, who couldn't accept her forbidden power and didn't know what to say, and Yue Yuanming, who already knew but was still waiting for Shui Qingli to confess.
In the silence, Yue Yuanming's eyes darkened.
Shui Qingli seemed quite different from before when she emerged from seclusion this time; she wouldn't even tell him her secrets...
This is not a good sign.
Just as the atmosphere became somewhat strange, Hai Yan and Hai Qingtang also approached. Having no knowledge of Yue Yuanming and Shui Qingli, they naturally didn't notice the odd atmosphere between them, and simply bowed to Shui Qingli according to custom.
"Sea Princess/Sea General pays homage to the Lord of Water."
Shui Qingli was also somewhat confused by Haiyan and Haiqingtang, but since they were his subjects and the managers of this Xuyan Sea, Shui Qingli entrusted the responsibility to them with peace of mind.
