When the fountain-like spray appeared overhead and at their feet, the released energy had already completely surrounded Li Jianxin and his two companions.
Meanwhile, the ferocious beasts in the area continued to approach, their massive size crushing into the water.
This leaves the remaining people in the room with less and less room to move around.
The ferocious beast had suffered at the hands of Li Jianxin's sword case.
Their wisdom was profound; they knew that the space inside the sword case should not be expanded too much at this time.
If they are cornered, the cultivator's sword box will be unable to release its sword energy.
At this moment, above the stepped well, Li Jianxin was already greatly shaken.
Since trespassing into the territory of that ferocious beast, and being chased here by it, not only did we lose one of our junior brothers.
At this point, they were surrounded by the ferocious beast's clan.
The journey ahead is now very short.
As long as they approach that world below, these ferocious beasts will no longer dare to come near.
Li Jianxin had already tested the waters earlier. After the ferocious beast was annihilated, its corpse was indeed carried away by the other ferocious beasts.
These ferocious beasts, though incredibly strong and fearless, are like invincible Kong underwater.
However, they were extremely wary of the bottom of that stepped well.
At the bottom of that stepped well, there seemed to be some kind of taboo.
Even a corpse of the tribe would not dare to fall below.
Li Jianxin had already made up his mind, regardless of what kind of dangerous place lay below.
Now, surrounded by the ferocious beast horde, this trip necessitates diving down.
However, he had already lost so many junior brothers in this Vast Sea, and had not even seen a trace of the inherited item.
Moreover, with his own power diminished, who knows where that Falu is lurking!
The thought that Falu was still in the Vast Sea filled Li Jianxin with a feeling of disgust.
This person had been plotting his own scheme for a while.
In this Boundless Wilderness, I have fought this person countless times.
However, the two sides were evenly matched, and neither could ultimately defeat the other.
Because of his physical constitution, the master in the sect said that he was extremely Dao Union partner.
Practicing together as a Dharma partner leads to rapid progress and mutual benefits.
But this guy has been eyeing me for who knows how long.
However, Li Jianxin utterly despised the disciples of the Buddha Kingdom.
That Falu was less a disciple of the Buddha Kingdom and more a vampire clinging to countless living beings.
If Buddha Kingdom disciples are like this, how can they truly become spiritual partners?
If I were in Falu's hands, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before he used me as a furnace!
Though his mind was preoccupied with something, a resolute look shone through Li Jianxin's brow.
She was the one who repeatedly came to the rescue from the siege of these ferocious aquatic beasts.
The disciples were slowly lowered into the stepped well.
At this moment, at the last step of the stairwell, the ferocious beast was also in the blocked descending passage below.
This filled Li Jianxin with a sense of despair.
Several of his fellow disciples lost their lives, and he also annihilated another ferocious beast within the beast horde.
The ferocious beasts that had surrounded him were determined to devour him.
But at this moment, for some unknown reason, the ferocious beast below slowly made way for them.
Li Jianxin quickly noticed this behavior.
Watching those dark figures slowly retreat below.
At that moment, a churning current suddenly appeared in the water below.
Following the stream of water True Spirit probed downwards and found a dark and gloomy place below.
An endless silence and desolation permeated the air at this moment.
Li Jianxin watched as the ferocious beast unexpectedly parted to make way for him.
But she still dared not dive down, fearing that the ferocious beast might trick them and devour them all.
However, the ferocious beast above them continued to crush them relentlessly.
A dozen or so dark figures kept diving down into the muddy water.
Their enormous size resembled towering mountains, bearing down with the force of nature.
Those below felt a surge of blood rushing to their chests.
The surging blood and qi almost surged out from under his throat.
The immense pressure made everyone extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, the ferocious beast was still circling overhead, completely sealing off the gap above.
The group was now deep in the dark waters, and the ferocious beasts above them began to howl.
The rolling sound waves echoed through the water, causing Li Jianxin a sense of unease.
The only way to break this deadlock is through the gap in the water below, but there's a fear that there might be a trap inside.
Under this pressure, Li Jianxin's junior brother seemed to sense his worry and thoughtfully said:
"Senior sister, there's no need to worry. Why don't I go down and investigate? If there really are ferocious beasts lurking below, then I can send you a message!"
Li Jianxin glanced at her junior brother. At this point, she really had no other good options and could only let him go down and investigate.
A look of helplessness appeared in his eyes. After giving some instructions, he slashed a sword aura towards the gap.
After seeing that nothing was amiss, he nodded to his junior brother.
After receiving permission, the Sword Pavilion disciple instantly turned around and disappeared into the gap.
At this moment, the ferocious beasts in the gap all made way.
As if truly fearing the forbidden object beneath the water, they dared not approach the waters above the deep pool any further.
After watching his junior brother dive down, Li Jianxin quickly received a message.
These aquatic creatures seemed genuinely afraid of something underwater, and indeed made no attempt to ambush or block them within that gap.
A sense of relief rose in Li Jianxin's heart, and then he instructed the cultivator beside him to sneak in again.
He then held the sword box in his arms and disappeared into the water.
Just then, as the group descended one after another, a series of "whooshing" sounds suddenly echoed from within the horde of ferocious beasts.
The ferocious beasts in the water all moved in unison and slowly retreated from the stepped well.
But amidst the heavy shadows, a disdainful gaze suddenly pierced through.
As they watched the commotion in the water below, the gazes of the beast horde gradually turned back to them.
Waaah!
The long, drawn-out sound echoed in his ears, and a strange sense of crisis suddenly welled up in Li Jianxin's heart.
But by then the ferocious beast had already retreated.
Could it be that the ferocious beasts were wary of him because he had submerged below the surface?
Why did they retreat beneath the water?
Lost in thought, Li Jianxin, deep in the water, felt increasingly uneasy.
However, at this moment, there were indeed no ferocious beasts chasing them in the water, in a quiet and dark environment.
The sense of crisis in Li Jianxin's heart had reached its peak!
"Hahaha! Lady Li! This humble monk has been waiting for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jianxin's expression changed drastically while he was in the water.
The two Sword Pavilion disciples beside him were then swept away by a tin staff.
At this moment, seeing his two junior brothers' bodies swept away by a long staff, Li Jianxin was filled with rage.
The sword case in his arms was activated in an instant!
It turned out that those ferocious beasts didn't intend to let him go.
Instead, they sensed that a Falu was lying in ambush below, so they simply ordered their group to dive down.
Those ferocious aquatic beasts possessed extremely high intelligence; they knew that fighting them would result in mutual destruction.
So, upon realizing the existence of the Falu, they simply made way for them to descend.
They fell right into the ambush set by the Falu.
At this point, the ferocious beast clan can maintain its strength above.
Once he and Falu have settled their score, the ferocious beast, having rested and prepared, will attack again.
Could the cultivators who survived below possibly put up a fight against the ferocious beast horde?
In a flash, these thoughts were clear in Li Jianxin's mind, and the image of Falu's lewd face appeared in his eyes.
The "click-click" sound echoed in Xu Long Xu Long's ears as he slowly lifted his feet.
Skeletons crumbled into dust beneath my feet, vanishing without a trace as the water flowed gently.
At this moment, Xu Long, who was in the water, had already found the underwater stepped well.
As they descended to the seabed, the beast's sonic waves began to intensify.
But just as Xu Long was about to follow the sound waves closer, the sound temporarily stopped.
Xu Long could only slowly descend into the abyss, and when he extended his will into the abyss, he was also very cautious.
After diving for some time, Xu Long finally sensed a familiar aura within his mind.
It was an extremely ancient aura.
This aura has been sensed before, even in waters inhabited by the Beast King.
As his will descended, Xu Long discovered a huge ring of things in the endless darkness.
Bronze chains!
At this point, the bronze chain lay across the bottom of the Anshui River.
As Xu Long followed the bronze chain, he saw it slowly sinking into the abyss.
It's as if beneath that enormous stepped well lies a path to another world.
When Xu Long saw the bronze chains from above, he was naturally extremely shocked.
What exactly lies deep within those waters?
Was this enormous obstacle, set up within the waters, truly intended to suppress the Vast Sea Dragon King?
What is the connection between this so-called heirloom and the Vast Sea Dragon King?
Xu Long pondered the question in his mind for a week, but it seemed he could never find a clue.
In that endless darkness, it seems, lie hidden secrets of history.
When the heavy darkness enveloped this sea area, everything that happened countless years ago vanished within it.
The origin of the bronze chain beside him was highly taboo, and Xu Long could not find any clues at this time.
The only way is to keep searching at the bottom of the stepped well.
Xu Long discovered quite a few skeletons in the area beneath the stepped well.
These skeletons were scattered around the bronze chains.
Xu Long initially thought they were the remains of a ferocious beast, but after searching around the stepped well, he discovered they were actually bones.
The skeletons of these ferocious beasts were mixed together with the skeletons of the cultivators.
How did the remains of two different factions end up mixed up here?
Even in a battle between ferocious beasts and cultivators, the cultivators who are wiped out are usually devoured by the ferocious beasts.
This is why Xu Long had to dismember Yun Peng.
The sheer number of cultivators' and ferocious beast skeletons in this place far exceeded Xu Long's comprehension.
These skeletons were scattered inside and outside the stepped well, and even around the huge bronze chains.
There were also countless black powder particles.
These are skeletons that have been crushed into dust by the pressure of the sea over countless years.
These skeletons had existed within the area for an unknown period of time; what was visible now was only the portion that had not yet turned to dust.
Beneath those bronze chains lay countless piles of dust.
One can imagine how many cultivators' skeletons must lie buried beneath that enormous stepped well.
Upon arriving at the bottom of the stepped well, Xu Long couldn't help but look up at the sky.
When he looked up, the concentric stepped wells at the bottom of the water were completely reflected in his eyes.
This magnificent and vast project is truly one of a kind in the century, located on the Lai Province Continent.
How many people know that such a magnificent project exists in this Vast Sea?
The stepped wells beneath Xu Long's eyes were incredibly ancient.
But even after the sediment receded, the imposing presence of the stepped well remained undiminished.
Standing at the bottom of that stepped well, Xu Long felt as if his heart was being squeezed tightly.
He was wondering: what kind of people built such a magnificent and vast project?
What kind of creature is suppressed beneath that magnificent stepped well?
Why are there so many skeletons beneath this vast stepped well?
These skeletons lay beneath the stepwell for countless years, some even turning to dust.
Has no one mentioned these unknown cultivators and ferocious beasts all these years?
As Xu Long gazed at the enormous stepped well from the seabed, the shock in his eyes deepened.
When he first saw this stepwell, which can be described as a miracle, he was still marveling at the wonders of nature.
But when they saw the countless skeletons below that enormous stepped well...
He only realized what kind of project it was after he arrived.
When I first saw that magnificent stepped well,
Xu Long was still feeling emotional:
This is truly a miracle in the Vast Sea.
But at this moment, with the bronze chains below, they saw the thick layer of bone dust.
Only then did he realize what was the foundation upon which this miraculous engineering feat was built!
This is not a magnificent miracle.
This is not a magnificent underwater wonder.
This is not a project that cultivators and ferocious beasts can be proud of.
This is just a chilling spectacle, and beneath it lie the skeletons of countless living beings!
At this moment, the stepped well was no longer a towering wonder in Xu Long's mind.
Against the backdrop of those massive bronze chains, this enormous stepped well resembled more of a colossal prison.
It devoured the bones and souls of countless living beings.
An unknown creature is forever suppressed in that darkness.
This enormous stepped well in the Vast Sea has existed for countless years.
And in those years, how many cultivators and ferocious beasts were reduced to skeletons beneath the stepped well?
Even after they die, after their bodies perish in those waters, they will be imprisoned here for generations to come.
The stepped wells here are no longer the mysterious place in the Vast Sea, but rather resemble a huge prison.
What kind of beings are suppressed within prisons?
Xu Long's mind was filled with thoughts of the Vast Sea Dragon King.
The answer seemed to lie beneath those enormous bronze chains.
At this moment, Xu Long, who was at the bottom of the stepped well, slowly heard some sounds of fighting.
"Hahaha! Lady Li, please forgive this humble monk! I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
" Falu! I, Li Jianxin, will kill you today!"
Clang!
A sword's cry echoed through the water.
Xu Long gradually regained consciousness beside the bronze chains.
He deliberately concealed himself behind those enormous chains.
A pair of eyes in the darkness silently watched the scene unfolding in the water.
At that moment, beneath the water, Falu was locked in a fierce battle with Li Jianxin.
However, judging from Xu Long's perspective, Li Jianxin probably wouldn't last long under Falu's staff.
The Evil Monk had a great many magical treasures on him at that time.
When Li Jianxin fought in those waters, the power he released caused quite a stir in the water.
At this moment, during the great battle, the water flow reversed, and countless white rays of light darted about amidst the crisscrossing sword energy.
The battle in the water was clearly a trap set by Falu, as evidenced by the smug expression on his face.
At this moment, there were bloodstains on Li Jianxin's body.
The exquisite white jade crown atop her head could no longer contain her disheveled hair.
During the fierce battle with the Falu, Li Jianxin's face showed great difficulty.
At this moment, Falu on the other side continued to provoke Li Jianxin.
Under the provocation of that Falu, Li Jianxin's sword energy surged even more fiercely.
But Xu Long, hidden behind the bronze chains, knew that Li Jianxin was probably at his last gasp.
Although the sword energy was powerful and overwhelming when it was unleashed, Fa Lu on the other side used a Falu to completely block it.
In Falu's eyes, there was a faint, almost imperceptible, wicked smile.
It seemed to be sizing up a prey in front of it.
A wicked smile lingered at the corners of his lips, and his alluring eyes began to roam freely over Li Jianxin's graceful figure.
At this moment, Xu Long, hidden behind the bronze chains, closed his eyes.
Unexpectedly witnessing the two fighting here, Xu Long found it inappropriate to intervene.
Any movement in the water would likely attract the attention of both sides, so they could only hide behind the bronze chains for a moment.
At that moment, in that dim environment, Xu Long also noticed it.
Several dark shadows seemed to be slowly patrolling above their heads.
What is this?
Xu Long's gaze was fixed on the dark figure above the water.
These dark figures were the ferocious beasts that made that "whooshing" sound. They had appeared on the water, seemingly surrounding the cultivators below.
Xu Long, who was below the water, had naturally seen the ferocious beast with the He Huaibao.
But the shadowy figure was one they had never seen before.
Beneath the dark figure, the water flowed slowly, subtly blocking the stepped well path below.
But when the water surged, these ferocious beasts dared not descend into the depths of the water.
Their movements were very similar to those of the King Yuanyuan.
He desperately wanted to capture the foreign cultivators below in the water, but there seemed to be something forbidden in the depths of that water.
They have been constantly hindering the ferocious beasts, preventing them from venturing into the depths of the water to annihilate the invading cultivators.
It turns out that Li Jianxin must have fought a fierce battle with these ferocious beasts.
By the time they collided with the Falu, they were already exhausted.
Judging from Falu's smug expression, this fellow must have been lying in ambush here for a long time.
Li Jianxin's companions were probably all devoured by that ferocious beast horde.
At this point, Li Jianxin, who was left, certainly wouldn't last long against Falu.
It's really unlucky that I encountered this as soon as I went into the water.
