Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

This news caused a barely perceptible glint to flash in the depths of Ursula's deep green eyes.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and Queen have entered a long period of deep seclusion.

This is a golden opportunity!

Wasn't all her previous inducement and preparation just to wait for this opportunity?

The time has come for a blue-haired child to completely break free from parental control and be able to move freely!

But Ursula's face showed an even more troubled and struggling expression.

She lowered her eyes, her hands uneasily stirring the seawater, as if she were experiencing a fierce internal struggle.

Chapter 263 Origin Essence Blood

"Lan Fuzi, have you really thought this through?"

“Even if your parents are unaware for the time being, the risks still exist, and they are enormous. The human world is a completely unfamiliar territory for you. With your enormous body and such a unique soul beast aura, once you approach land, you will be immediately detected by the strong among humans…”

"Then you have a way, right Ursula?"

Lan Fuzi interrupted Ursula urgently, his huge body leaning forward again, almost touching the altar.

Hope rekindled in her eyes.

"You're so amazing, you know so much! You even know so many interesting things about the human world, and you can find their items... You must have a way to let me go to the human world and see it without being discovered, right?"

Lan Fuzi's logic is simple and direct: Ursula has demonstrated the ability to know about the human world, so she should also have the ability to help her go there.

This is an inevitable conclusion drawn from the long-term accumulation of trust.

Ursula remained silent.

She raised her eyes, her deep green pupils gazing intently into Lan Fuzi's eyes, which were filled with longing and trust. After a long while, she let out a deep sigh.

That sigh was filled with helplessness, compromise, and a touch of tenderness touched by genuine emotion.

"You... I just can't do anything with you." Ursula's voice softened, carrying a complex mix of an elder's headache and indulgence towards a willful child.

She turned her head slightly, as if she was still making a last-ditch effort.

"There are ways...it's not entirely impossible."

These words were like a ray of light shining into Lan Fuzi's heart.

Her huge eyes suddenly burst with amazing light, and her whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

"Really? Ursula, you really have a way? Tell me quickly! Whatever you need, I can give you! Energy crystals, gems, scales, anything!"

Ursula looked at Lan Fuzi, who was so excited he was practically spinning around in place, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Lan Fuzi, things are not as simple as you think. The price you have to pay to ensure the safe passage of a deep-sea demon whale princess like yourself to the human world... may be far beyond your imagination."

Her tone became serious again.

"First, you need to change your form. Your current form is too large and your aura is too strong, making it impossible for you to walk in the human world. You need to temporarily transform into a human."

"Transform into a human?" Lan Fuzi blinked her huge eyes, feeling both curious and somewhat apprehensive about the concept.

"Like those 100,000-year-old soul beasts? But my cultivation level..."

“It’s not a true rebirth.” Ursula shook her head, her tentacles swaying gently.

“That’s too time-consuming and too dangerous. What I’m talking about is… a temporary change using external forces. I have an ancient potion recipe that can guide the power within you, temporarily condensing, compressing, and transforming it to create a human-like appearance and body, while perfectly concealing all the soul beast aura of your deep-sea demon whale.”

Ursula's voice carried an ancient charm, as if she were reciting some forbidden knowledge.

"After taking the potion, you will transform into the appearance of a human girl. You can walk, talk, and live like a human. From your appearance to your aura, unless a terrifying being with mental power that has reached a certain limit carefully investigates, your true form will never be discovered."

Lan Fuzi listened with great interest, as if she could already see herself walking on land and touching those new and wonderful things with her hands.

"Great! That's it! Ursula, I want this potion!"

Ursula waved her hand, signaling her to calm down.

“Secondly, there is the issue of strength,” Ursula continued, her tone serious.

"Even if you transform into human form, the immense power belonging to the deep-sea demon whale within you will still exist. However, this power cannot be displayed casually in the human world, otherwise it will arouse suspicion. You need to learn how to disguise your power as that of a human soul master."

"Disguised as a Soul Master?" Lan Fuzi asked curiously.

“That’s right.” Ursula nodded.

"Human Soul Masters demonstrate their power through Martial Souls and Soul Rings. I will teach you a method to simulate Soul Power fluctuations and construct a false Martial Soul form and Soul Rings using a portion of your own original power as the core. Of course, the strength of this Martial Soul and the age and color of the Soul Rings can be adjusted within a certain range according to your needs, but it must be reasonable and not too shocking, otherwise it will attract unnecessary attention."

Ursula had considered everything very carefully, as if she were truly planning a perfect human world trip for Lan Fuzi.

"As long as you control yourself carefully, in the eyes of humans, you will appear as a human Soul Master with decent talent, but not so much that you would attract the attention of top powers. In this way, you can relatively safely integrate into their society, to observe and experience."

Lan Fuzi was completely captivated by the perfect blueprint drawn up by Ursula.

Transform into a human, disguise herself as a Soul Master, and safely experience the human world... Isn't this exactly what she's always dreamed of?

"Usula! You're amazing! I knew you'd have a way!" Lan Fuzi's loud voice was filled with admiration and gratitude.

"What do I need to do? What ingredients are needed for the potion? I'll go prepare them right away!"

Seeing Lan Fuzi's impatient look, a glint of calculation flashed in the depths of Ursula's dark green eyes.

After so much buildup, it's finally time to collect our rewards.

Her face showed an extremely troubled and solemn expression, and her tentacles gently tapped the edge of the altar, producing a hollow sound.

“Lan Fuzi, my dear child.” Ursula’s voice became unusually low, even carrying a hint of “compassion.”

"I must tell you honestly, the cost of concocting such a potion that can perfectly disguise the Deep Sea Demon Whale Princess is... extremely high. It's not just a matter of materials, but also involves guidance and deception at the level of laws."

She paused, observing Lan Fuzi's reaction. Seeing that the other was simply listening attentively, she continued in that heavy tone:

"First, the most basic exchange. I need a sufficient amount of the highest quality Ocean Heart Crystals, at least ten. I need ten of your whale king scales that you shed once every ten thousand years. And I also need... the primordial blood essence of your father, His Majesty the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

Lan Fuzi didn't even blink at the first two items. Ocean Heart Crystals? She had quite a few piled up in the corner of her palace.

Whale scales? Although precious, her parents always made her keep the old scales she shed, and she accumulated quite a few.

But when he heard "the essence blood of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King", Lan Fuzi's huge body stiffened slightly.

Chapter 264 Bloodline Power

The primordial essence blood is the core power and life essence of a soul beast. Every drop is extremely precious, and it takes a long time and a huge amount of energy to recover from its loss.

"Father's primordial essence and blood..."

Lan Fuzi hesitated. It wasn't that she was reluctant to part with it, but rather that she was wondering if she still had any left.

Ursula immediately noticed her hesitation and added in a timely manner, her tone full of understanding: "I know this is difficult and offensive. But it is necessary. The potion needs the bloodline of the most outstanding kings as a catalyst and the core of the identity disguise in order to perfectly deceive the perception of the human world, and even interfere to some extent with the soul guides or secret techniques used to detect soul beasts. Without it, the potion's effect will be greatly reduced, and the risks will increase exponentially."

She looked at Lan Fuzi with a frank yet helpless expression.

“If you feel it’s impossible to obtain, or that the risk is too great… Lan Fuzi, perhaps we should reconsider this adventure. I can’t let you risk your identity being exposed to the human world.”

To retreat in order to advance.

Sure enough, Lan Fuzi immediately became anxious upon hearing the word "reconsider".

"No! I have it!" Lan Fuzi said quickly, a determined light flashing in his huge eyes.

Ursula sneered inwardly, but feigned surprise on her face.

"You really are... willing to give everything for your dreams, Lan Fuzi." She remarked with admiration, then her tone became more serious.

"But that's not enough."

Lan Fuzi was taken aback: "Not enough?"

“Yes.” Ursula nodded, her tentacles slowly rising and pointing to Lan Fuzi’s enormous body, pointing to the location of her heart.

Her voice seemed to possess a certain magic, echoing softly in the dark cave.

"The most critical cost is not external, but within yourself."

Lan Fuzi looked at Ursula with his huge eyes full of doubt.

"The power of the potion is not just about changing your appearance, concealing your aura, and simulating your soul power... Its deepest effect is to temporarily cover up and rewrite the unique soul imprint belonging to the deep-sea demon whale deep within your bloodline for a period of time. It makes you temporarily disguised at the soul level."

Ursula's explanation is cryptic and unsettling.

"To do this, you need to actively lower your guard and guide the power of the potion to the core of your bloodline. This process... requires you to voluntarily offer a wisp of your own bloodline power as a bridge for the potion to completely merge with you and disguise itself."

"The power of my bloodline?"

“Yes,” Ursula spoke again, her voice deep and enchanting, like a dark current in the ocean.

One of her tentacles slowly rose, its tip drawing intricate, dark blue runes in the air. The runes glowed faintly in the dim light, appearing to move as if they were alive.

"The so-called power of bloodline is not meant to drain your essence, nor to damage your foundation." Ursula's voice became extremely patient, like a mentor instructing an ignorant student.

"It's more like a borrowing. I need to borrow a tiny wisp from your vast, ocean-like power of blood. Just a tiny wisp, as a medium for the potion to establish a deeper connection with you."

Lan Fuzi's huge eyes were fixed on the floating runes, filled with curiosity and confusion.

Ursula continued to explain, "This bloodline power will be integrated into the potion. When you take the potion, the potion's effects will flow through the channels created by this bloodline power, working in reverse throughout your body to achieve a perfect disguise from the inside out."

She paused for a moment, her tentacles gently brushing against the edge of the Blue Buddha's flippers near the altar, the movement as gentle as if she were soothing it.

"And don't worry, this wisp of bloodline power is extremely small and will not have any effect on your strength, potential, or lifespan. It is only temporarily lent to the potion. When you have spent enough time in the human world, or when you remove your disguise and restore your true form, after a period of cultivation and energy replenishment, this wisp of bloodline power will naturally regenerate and merge with you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi's doubts finally vanished completely.

It won't affect my strength, it won't damage my foundation, and I can even recover through cultivation... This sounds like a completely acceptable price!

"Is it really possible to recover simply through cultivation?" she asked again, her voice filled with anticipation.

“Of course.” Ursula nodded with a smile, the enormous figure of the Blue Buddha reflected in her emerald green pupils.

"For your Deep Sea Demon Whale clan, the power of your bloodline is already vast and boundless. Losing even a tiny bit is like taking a ladle of water from the ocean; the ocean is still the same ocean. As long as there is enough energy and time, recovery is inevitable."

Her words were full of certainty, and that unquestionable tone made Lan Fuzi's last bit of hesitation disappear.

"Good!" Lan Fuzi slapped the bottom of the water with its huge tail fin, stirring up a cloud of mud and sand.

"Ursula, I believe in you! I'll go back and prepare the materials right now! I also have a way to obtain Father's primordial blood essence, wait for me!"

Seeing Lan Fuzi's anxious appearance, Ursula sneered inwardly, but a relieved and gentle smile appeared on her face.
