Lee Longqing is too important for the Lee family. He has the talent to become the second Martial Saint, but without the South Sea Mermaid Pearl, he could not reach the Martial Saint level.
The Seven Kills Sword Technique of the Lee family is extremely powerful but it also brings great drawbacks. When progressing from the Martial King Realm to the Martial Saint Realm, that is, from the Acquired State to the Innate State, the Seven Kills Sword Technique would lead to backlash.
Li Zhongxin managed to become a Martial Saint because he was fortunate to obtain a South Sea Mermaid Pearl, which helped him step into the Innate Stage and prevented him from going into demonic cultivation.
Over the years, the Lee family has cultivated numerous Ninth Grade Martial Kings, some of whom attempted to advance to the Martial Saint Realm, but all had failed.
The South Sea Mermaid Pearl is a key to advancing to the Martial Saint level, and Lee Longqing needs this key.
