Three Years Later

Those on the Heavenly Star Ranking rarely engage in life-or-death battles unless there are exceptionally large benefits involved.

Lin Zhen has been on the Heavenly Star Ranking for some time now. When the Heavenly Star Ranking of other countries see Lin Zhen arrive, they only glance at him before focusing intently on the sea.

Lin Zhen had a particularly deep impression of one of them.

The person was dressed in a white robe, with sharp blue eyes, and hovered in the air, seemingly merging with the heavens and earth.

Moreover, this person stared at Lin Zhen for an exceptionally long time, and finally even said, "The young people of Huaxia are truly remarkable. They are capable of destroying the Starry Sky God Sect; they are destined for great things."

An Bihuai looked at the man in white robes with a wary expression and said, "Kate, you're quite old. You wouldn't want to make an enemy of a young man because of the Divine Cult, would you?"

Upon hearing this name, Lin Zhen immediately became alert. This was the first Holy Son of the Divine Cult, and judging from his words, he seemed to be dissatisfied with his role in destroying the Divine Cult.

Kate scoffed, "I left the Divine Cult hundreds of years ago, and worldly affairs are no longer my concern. I wouldn't go out of my way to cause him trouble over this."

Just as An Bihuai breathed a sigh of relief, Kate added, "But that doesn't stop me from disliking this person, Lin Zhen. I don't have a good impression of you."

Chen Fenglie pulled Lin Zhen aside and said, "Lin Zhen, you must be careful of this person. His strength is second only to Mr. Yan Qi Ye. You should know that back then, Master Qing Xu was originally ranked second on the Heavenly Star Ranking, but he was challenged by him and dropped to fifth place. After that, Master Qing Xu never challenged anyone and remained in fifth place."

"Has he reached the Satellite Stage?" Lin Zhen asked.

"That's right. Moreover, he is the first Grand Master of the Divine Cult Great God Sect and the first Holy Son. Although he won't actively cause you trouble, you should still be careful during your time at Moyun Vine."

Lin Zhen nodded. A master at the Satellite Stage is definitely one of the top beings on Earth. If it weren't absolutely necessary, Lin Zhen wouldn't want to provoke such a person.

"You should also be aware that people like the Ice Emperor of Tsarist Russia, the Black-Clothed Tyrant of America, and Gubo Te of India do not have good relations with us."

"When the Moyun Vine appears, we can go into the sea and collect the fruits we need. Don't collect too many; absorb one as soon as you collect it. These things can't be stored. Don't argue with others. The three of us will stay together. When one person is absorbing, the other two will guard him to prevent him from being disturbed by other people or Mutated Beast."

"Will this process take a long time?" Lin Zhen asked.

An Bihuai interjected, "It will indeed take a long time. We need to dive as deep as possible. You know, the Moyun Vine is rooted in the deep sea. The deeper we go, the more difficult it is to harvest the fruit, because martial artists have to withstand the strong pressure of the seawater."

Chen Fenglie chimed in. "Yes, it is said that the deepest place in the ocean is the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, which is more than 11,000 meters deep. But that is the place that people have explored. In fact, the deepest place is located in Bermuda. The Moyun Vine grows in the deep sea trench, where there are the largest number of elemental fruits. It's just a pity that no one has been able to pick them."

"How deep have you dived before?"

Chen Fenglie shook his head. "I'm not that old, and this is my first time here. Brother An has been here before, and he can explain it to you."

An Bihuai thought for a moment and said, "I have been to Bermuda four times. The first time I only dived to a little over 2,000 meters. The second time was better, and I dived to 3,000 meters. The third time I dived to 4,000 meters. This time I hope to dive to 4,500 meters. I guess that's my current limit."

Chen Fenglie said, "Lin Zhen and I are both here for the first time. My goal this time is 3,500 meters. Any more than that would probably exceed my limit."

"Will this descent process take a long time?"

"Yes, we need to adapt to the water pressure of the sea, fight against Mutated Beast, and absorb the fruit. It may take a year or six months, or even two years, but it will not exceed a thousand days at most. This kind of fruit can only survive in the ocean for a thousand days. If we leave the ocean and come into contact with the aura outside Bermuda, we will not be able to absorb it when we come back. So we have to stay here for this period of time until we have absorbed enough of the elemental fruit we need."

Lin Zhen nodded. It turned out that collecting fruits required diving into the deep sea, and the deeper one went, the greater the harvest. He didn't know exactly how far he could go, but he would definitely do his best.

After waiting a while longer, a patch of green appeared on the turbulent sea!

The Moyun Vine have emerged from the sea! The fruit is ripe!

The ripening of the fruit not only attracted the masters on the Heavenly Star Ranking, but also some huge sea monsters appeared and disappeared in the waves. Even those sea monsters at the level of beast kings were drawn to the Moyun Vine fruit.

As soon as the green dot appeared, Chen Fenglie immediately pulled Lin Zhen: "Time's up, you can go down now!"

The three of them immediately swooped down and plunged directly into the sea!

********

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

No one knows where Lin Zhen and the others on the Heavenly Star Ranking have gone, but people do know that those Beast King-level sea monsters have disappeared.

As time passed, great changes took place on Earth.

Six months later, the European Union government announced that the new Spaceship had been successfully developed and had successfully circled the sky.

A year later, the Huaxia government developed a new type of Orbital Cannon that could be used for space warfare.

Besides technology, the strength of martial artists on Earth has also improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years.

On the Huaxia side, many masters made breakthroughs during this period.

First, Gongsun Du ascended to the top of the Dark Star Ranking, and his strength reached the Comet Stage.

Jin Qichao, Shang Jin, Luo Yun, Dongfang Jun are all among the top on the Dark Star Ranking.

Among the younger generation, Feng Ni, Tang Wenbo, Duo Long, Xin Ru Hai, and others have also entered the Stellar Realm one after another.

Su Mingyue and An Ning, these two girls, even joined forces to kill an SS- S-Class Mutated Beast in the battle to defend Modu, becoming idols of female martial artists in Huaxia.

In addition, martial artists from other countries around the world have also made breakthroughs, making this a golden age for cultivation.

After a year and a half, the people on the Heavenly Star Ranking finally appeared.

Chen Fenglie returned to Huaxia.

When he returned, he also brought news from the Bermuda Sea Area.

The people on the Heavenly Star Ranking are all at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle, fighting against high-level Mutated Beast and harvesting the fruits of the Moyun Vine.

At first, everyone was able to pick the fruit, but as the dive went deeper, some people gradually couldn't hold on any longer.

When Chen Fenglie left, he had successfully descended to a depth of 4,800 meters. At that time, there were still ten people left on the seabed, and An Bihuai and Lin Zhen were still in Bermuda.

One year and eight months later, An Bihuai returned, leaving six people at the bottom of the sea.

An Bihuai also achieved good results this time, diving to a depth of 5,600 meters and successfully resonating his elemental power.

His main purpose in returning was to break through to the Comet Stage in one fell swoop.

After that, one after another, experts from the Heavenly Star Ranking left the Bermuda Sea Area. All those who left were people who had picked the Moyun Vine fruit and reached saturation in absorbing elemental energy.

There were a total of sixteen experts on the Heavenly Star Ranking who entered the Bermuda Sea Area. After one year and ten months, only four of them remained.

After one year and nine months, the America Black-Clothed Tyrant left Bermuda, angrily saying, "Anyone still inside at this point is Madman, especially Lin Zhen from Huaxia, that kid is simply a monster!"

He had already dived to a depth of 5,500 meters, but finally could not withstand the enormous water pressure of the deep sea and left, but three people remained there.

There are no more fruits above 5,500 meters. To obtain fruits, one must continue to venture into the deep sea. This is not something that can be accomplished by simply diving in. Fruits must be absorbed immediately, so the pressure is simply unbearable for humans.

One year and ten months later, the Tsarist Russia Ice Emperor returned from the deep sea. This time he reached a depth of 6,000 meters, but he could not hold on any longer.

After he came out, he told people that Lin Zhen and Kate were still in the deep sea.

People are speculating about who can last longer in Bermuda, Lin Zhen or Kate.

Most people generally believe that Kate will last longer because he is a master of the Satellite Stage.

The Satellite Stage belongs to the third level of the Eternal Realm, which is a different concept from the third level of the Stellar Realm. This proves that the planet within this person's body is stable and the power is even stronger.

Lin Zhen's level of skill has always been a mystery, but judging from Lin Zhen age, he could never be compared to Kate.

People often bring up this matter during their cultivation practice, hoping to see the results soon.

It wasn't until one year and eleven months later that Kate finally left Bermuda.

His diving record was 7,500 meters; he could no longer descend.

According to the information he brought, Lin Zhen was still trying to dive down. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to admit that Lin Zhen a genius.

However, he asserted that Lin Zhen would definitely leave Bermuda within a month, and the depth of his dive would not exceed 8,500 meters, because when Qian Yan Qi Ye dived, the deepest place he reached was only 8,500 meters, and he only stayed there for two years, or more than 700 days.

No matter how talented Lin Zhen is, he can never surpass Yan Qi Ye's achievements; that's his opinion.

People are waiting for the day Lin Zhen Lin Zhen out of the water, and some people even wait specifically to interview him when he comes out.

But another month passed, and Lin Zhen still did not appear.

It should be noted that even Yan Qi Ye only stayed in the Bermuda Sea Area for two years, and now Lin Zhen's achievements are already on par with his.

Two years and one month later, Lin Zhen still hadn't appeared.

Two years and three months later, there was still no sign of Lin Zhen. At this point, more than eight hundred days had passed since he entered the Bermuda Sea Area.

Two and a half years, more than nine hundred days had passed, and there was still no sign of Lin Zhen.

At this point, people began to suspect that Lin Zhen had already left, but had gone to some other place to cultivate.

Some people even suspected that Lin Zhen was dead, but this view is untenable. Lin Zhen is still ranked eighteenth on the Heavenly Star Ranking, proving that he is still alive and well.

Two years and seven months later, the discussion about whether Lin Zhen was still in Bermuda had ended. He was definitely gone, probably in an unknown location.

Unbeknownst to people, a massive fleet from outer space was already approaching the Solar System.
