Gu Yu focused his mind and heard a serene melody rise, like a babbling spring, like lofty mountains and flowing water.
Its source was astonishingly beneath the sea!
"Could it be under the sea?"
Gu Yu's heart stirred, and he softly instructed, "Little Black, wait for me up here. I'll go into the sea and take a look. I'll be right back."
Screech~
Little Black landed on the surface of the sea.
As a demonic beast, it naturally did not fear water. However, it had attained the Dao as a bird and was inherently averse to water. Since Gu Yu had said he would return shortly, it did not insist on following him.
The Little Golden Monkey on its back, however, leaped down and turned into a streak of light, diving toward the seabed alongside Gu Yu.
"Wait for me!"
Seeing that even the Little Golden Monkey had gone down, Little Black grew anxious and plunged in with a splash.
"Haha, Little Black."
Gu Yu shook his head with a smile. In the azure seawater, schools of fish occasionally swam past—some familiar, some unknown—wandering about in a dazzling display.
Whoosh~
Gu Yu did not linger over the sight. Following the sound of the zither, he instantly descended ten miles. Here, fish had become scarce, while fierce demonic beasts appeared from time to time instead.
Bang!
With a casual strike, Gu Yu shattered a tiger shark demon that lunged at him. He continued swimming downward and soon saw a pitch-black seabed, where towering underwater mountains stood amid swaying seaweed, utterly different from the land above.
The water pressure here was already immense. Even demonic beasts at the Innate level could not withstand it, but it posed no obstacle to Gu Yu and his companions.
"The world beneath the sea."
Gu Yu
