Chapter 1603: Chapter 498: Two Domain Barriers [Part 2]_2

"So, even if the ’Harmonious Pearl’ is truly miraculous and capable of creating numerous dual cultivation barriers for the freshwater Mermaids of Florence, it still doesn’t compare to Seia! I admire the powerful effects of the ’Harmonious Pearl,’ but the Mermaid Clan didn’t become renowned worldwide solely because of a single ’Starry Sky Reflection dual cultivation barrier!’" Avril shook her head with a bitter smile. "This ’collar’ is merely a blessing from the sea gods Amphitrite and Neptune and doesn’t mean it has supreme combat power! In fact, the primary function of the dual cultivation barrier is on the Magic Shield; it doesn’t possess any combat ability at all!"

"Mermaids and Seia Mermaids are entirely different beings! Their beliefs are fundamentally distinct!" Old Liu chuckled slyly. "At the very least, the dual cultivation collars of Mermaids differ greatly from those of Seia Mermaids! I think other merfolk, such as freshwater Mermaids or Koutao Merfolk, are no exception."

"Oh?" Avril glanced at the sleeping Mermaid, then turned her curious gaze back to Old Liu. "What kind of dual cultivation barrier did you and Wei Zhi manage to produce? If you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot—you hinted earlier that there’s something special about this. What’s the story behind it?"

Liu Zhenshock smiled and took a quick glance behind him as a dazzling, starry cosmic barrier began to unfold.

"This is the barrier between you and me," Little Ai scoffed, instantly recognizing the Elemental Mermaid stepping out of it.

"And now, look at this." Old Liu leisurely shrugged, and from behind him, another barrier emerged—a deep and boundless night sky speckled with flashing stars. Yet no Elemental Mermaid with dark hair and black scales appeared from within.

"In history, aside from Seia Mermaids, no other merfolk have ever been capable of creating dual-cultivation barriers. Some kinds of merfolk, like Koutao Merfolk, which aren’t particularly clever, can’t even possess regular barriers. Now, this history has been rewritten by you." Avril clapped elegantly in congratulations. "My Richard, I’m genuinely proud of you."

"Proud, my foot! This is something worth being proud of?" Old Liu mocked himself with a bitter laugh.

"You used drugs, didn’t you?" Avril teased with a knowing smile—she clearly understood this crafty rogue well.

"Without that, how could I get a Mermaid to fall for me? Actually, my ’sense of impending doom’ could’ve worked too, but I thought that would be a bit too abrupt," Liu Zhenshock shrugged.

"Even if you couldn’t resist, wouldn’t old grudges hold you back?" Avril pouted, reaching out to yank Liu’s nose playfully.

"Not necessarily!" Liu Zhenshock rolled his eyes. "But now that I think about it, knowing the function of the Mermaid’s dual cultivation barrier beforehand really makes it worth risking everything for!"

"Worth risking it all? Haha, come on, tell me—what exactly can the Mermaid’s dual cultivation barrier do?" Avril tilted her head in deep thought. "Could it also be hallucinatory?"

Liu Zhenshock almost choked in laughter. Little Ai’s imagination was impressive; she could follow a thread and spin ideas with ease.

"The Mermaid Clan’s barrier is completely different from the Aegean Mermaid’s barrier. According to what Wei Zhi shared with me, all of the Mermaid Clan’s barriers are filled with malicious curses!" Old Liu pointed behind him. "Take a closer look at the two dual cultivation barriers I’ve produced. Look at the pattern of stars on them, and compare these two Starry Sky Reflections. Notice any differences?"

"The constellation formed by the brightest stars on my dual cultivation barrier with you maps out Pisces; whereas my dual cultivation barrier with that feisty Mermaid forms constellations tied to Sagittarius’s Southern Dipper Six Stars and Ursa Major’s Big Dipper!" Any user of Elemental Power wouldn’t ignore astrology. If Richard hadn’t prompted her, Avril wouldn’t have examined the star charts in the ’Starry Sky Reflection dual cultivation barrier.’ Now, looking closely, she saw there was indeed something significant.

"How strange! Could it be that the cosmic charts of the Demon World are identical to those of Aegean?" Avril furrowed her brows in doubt, worried she might have miscalculated. However, after rechecking again and again, her conclusions seemed firm.

"I don’t know whether Aegean and the Demon World share the same cosmos; I only know that in Aegean’s star charts, Pisces is considered the ending of an ancient cycle of reincarnation." Liu Zhenshock wrapped his arm around Avril’s shoulders.

The Mermaid softly rested her head against his chest.

"After experiencing several rounds of evolution, I’ve started to understand the patterns of how our dual cultivation barrier evolves each time! While this barrier doesn’t wield offensive power, it’s a kind of special supporting barrier that helps Mermaid couples leave the ocean and traverse the world. It provides the best auxiliary enhancements to compensate for the natural weaknesses in Mermaid physiology! Isn’t this also an end to an ancient cycle of reincarnation?"

"And what about the dual cultivation barrier between you and Wei Zhi, that little troublemaker? In the Aegean star map, ’Southern Dipper brings life, Big Dipper governs death.’ Could this dual cultivation barrier really control life and death? Could it even evolve a thousand times over?"

"For typical Demon World Mermaids, their barriers always contain various curses! The dual cultivation barrier between Wei Zhi and me, in addition to curses, also includes blessings!" Liu Zhenshock ran his fingers through Little Ai’s golden hair, taking a deep breath to steady himself.

"Southern Dipper Six Stars bring life, so when Wei Zhi and I attempt to bless someone through the dual cultivation barrier’s power, there’s a one-sixth chance of success! Big Dipper Seven Stars govern death, so when we try to curse someone via the barrier, there’s a one-seventh chance of success!" Liu Zhenshock’s explanation left Little Ai so shocked she nearly choked, her throat feeling a sharp pang.

"Remember this: with the ’Southern Dipper and Big Dipper dual cultivation barrier,’ any blessing and curse has the potential to come true!" Liu Zhenshock lowered his head, winking mischievously at Avril.

"You’re joking, aren’t you?" Avril straightened her neck, wiped her mouth, and stared incredulously at Old Liu. "I don’t believe it! Every blessing and curse could truly come to pass? If you were to bless someone with eternal youth or curse Saint Chiao to die instantly, could those actually happen?"

"As long as it falls within the realm of Elemental modification capabilities, every blessing and curse has a chance of success!" Liu Zhenshock declared firmly. "Southern Dipper Six Stars’ blessings and Big Dipper Seven Stars’ curses undeniably come with chances of failure. But if successful, there’s no doubt about their effects! If you ask whether I could bless someone with eternal youth, I’m uncertain if the barrier’s power could fulfill such a terrifying demand, though I am confident that if I used the Big Dipper Seven Stars to curse Saint Chiao to die instantly, and a one-in-six success probability prevailed, no amount of Mana transformed into Magic Shields could save him!"

"From a statistical perspective, one-in-ten-thousand probability and one-in-two probability make no difference in a single moment of selection," Avril mused, suspecting that Richard was pulling her leg.

It wasn’t that Little Ai lacked imagination; it’s just that this all seemed too bizarre!

If the dual cultivation barrier truly possessed such immense capabilities, wouldn’t it mean the appearance of yet another deity in the mortal realm?

Practically omnipotent and omniscient!

"Within the scope of Elemental modification abilities, all blessings and curses have a chance of being actualized!"—A declaration this wild is truly terrifying. What couldn’t Elemental Power adapt in this world?
