"All right! Spiritlight Lake is now fully open! You may enter!" the Golden-Armored Cultivator announced.
The Golden-Armored Cultivator had barely finished speaking when a figure suddenly leaped out of the crowd of Demonic Path cultivators. With their keen eyesight, everyone naturally saw who it was: Sun Xing again. In a few bounds, he reached the lakeshore and plunged into the water, sending up a spray of milky-white droplets before diving beneath the surface. Presumably, he had already placed his Water Spirit Pearl in his mouth.
The others reacted as well and leaped forward, throwing the scene into chaos. Li Xiaoya could no longer worry about anything else. He popped the Water Spirit Pearl into his mouth, bounded to the lakeshore, and jumped in. The moment he entered the water, the milky-white liquid enveloped him. As it soaked his body, he actually felt a scorching heat. He was already at the great perfection realm of the true cultivation stage, impervious to ordinary heat and cold, yet this water could still make him feel scorched. Its temperature might well have rivaled ordinary flames, and was certainly far above that of boiling water.
Li Xiaoya opened his eyes. Though everything around him was milky white, it was not completely opaque. With his eyesight, he could still see a little over ten feet away. He glanced around, found no one nearby, and began diving deeper. He had firmly committed the Golden-Armored Cultivator's words to memory: the farther down he went, the better the cleansing effect. Naturally, he wanted to go deeper.
The deeper Li Xiaoya dived, the more he felt a suction pulling him down faster and faster. The Water Spirit Pearl in his mouth periodically released a cool breath, leaving him feeling wonderfully comfortable.
Before long, Li Xiaoya had descended several hundred feet.
