At that moment, beneath the deep pool, a group of people were locked in a standoff.
The underwater world was undoubtedly much narrower, and several groups of cultivators inevitably met here, all for the sake of that inherited item.
At this moment, beneath that abyss, the opponents were already clearly identified.
The monks present were divided into three groups.
On one side are Fellow Daoist Tan and Fellow Daoist Cao.
One of them was Yun Feng, who was wearing a blue Buddhist robe.
One of them was He Huaibao, standing out in the crowd.
At this moment, He Huaibao saw everyone gathering at the bottom of the deep pool, but that fellow was missing.
A hint of regret flashed in He Huaibao's eyes.
If that guy were here, I'd just wipe him out along with him.
The cultivators present looked at each other, their figures silhouetted against the edge of the deep pool.
The waters of that deep pool seemed to possess endless magic, compelling cultivators to explore it.
But today, only one person can enter that final place of inheritance.
At this moment, He Huaibao above the water, had a gloomy look in his eyes. As he saw the group confronting each other, a hint of disdain appeared on his lips.
Yun Feng, who was present, had long disliked this person.
This fellow scattered his group within the Vast Sea, and in the end, he was the only one who reached the bottom of this deep pool.
However, Yun Feng did not make any Wuji while he was in the deep pool, because He Huaibao, who was present, was clearly acting recklessly.
Even when he saw these cultivators confronting each other, he still showed a faint hint of disdain on his face.
Could this fellow have reinforcements in the deep pool?
Yun Feng was wary of He Huaibao, but the two Fellow Daoist Cao opposite him showed no fear whatsoever.
Instead, after carefully observing He Huaibao and Yun Feng, he said with a half-smile in the water:
" Fellow Daoist Tan, which one do you choose?"
Fellow Daoist Cao, whose forehead was turning blue, glanced around at the forces in the arena without any restraint, a hint of impatience on his face.
The large-eyed cultivator beside him chuckled twice, then chimed in, looking at Yun Feng in his blue robes, and said:
" Fellow Daoist Cao's tracking skills are indeed superb, but this young man in blue seems to have quite a few tricks up his sleeve. In that case, I'll choose the young man in blue first!"
"Very well! Fellow Daoist Tan, you should know that whoever descends into that abyss first will be the final inheritor!"
When Fellow Daoist Cao heard that Fellow Daoist Tan had chosen the He Huaibao to make his move, his pale face changed slightly, but he did not say anything.
After assigning their respective tasks, the two seemed to have already taken care of Yun Feng and He Huaibao, and instead began discussing the ownership of the inherited item in the abyss.
Seeing that the two people completely disregarded him, He Huaibao, who was standing to the side, was so angry that he almost laughed.
The copper rings on the joints were activated in an instant, and at that moment, the dark figures beneath the He Huaibao stood up.
The crowd suddenly surged around the room after He Huaibao made his move.
Fellow Daoist Tan, who was standing to the side, immediately turned around, while Fellow Daoist Cao was in the middle of the room, said with a contemptuous expression:
"Are you going to get out of here on your own, or do I have to do it to you?"
Although Fellow Daoist Cao did not release his aura, the Yun Feng cultivator opposite him seemed to sense something.
His pale face shifted several times in expression, then he spoke tentatively:
"You are disciples of the Nether Sect!"
"Hmph! You've got some guts, kid. I am Cao Chali of the Nether Sect, and that man Tan Shengzhi of the Nether Sect. If you retreat now, we'll pretend we never saw you. Otherwise..."
Before Cao Chali could finish speaking, a small box appeared on his long arm.
When the small black box was on his arm, Cao Chali's expression immediately turned somewhat gloomy.
Looking at his pale face, he truly resembled a hanged ghost, making him quite terrifying in the room.
However, after Cao Chali finished speaking, Tan Shengzhi, He Huaibao on the side, suddenly burst into wild laughter and said:
"Hehehe! This kid doesn't know our reputation. This time in the Vast Sea, we'll show him what we're made of!"
After he finished speaking, a sudden gust of Tan Shengzhi blew up above the abyss.
Suddenly, he grew incredibly tall, and two long horns sprouted from his head.
Tan Shengzhi's human form instantly transformed into a black goat amidst the raging wind.
The goat was enormous, and it stood upright even in the fierce wind.
He was dressed entirely in black, with a soul lamp hovering erratically beside him.
At this moment, Tan Shengzhi, standing above the abyss, became like a demon.
Although this fellow was a disciple of the Nether Sect, it was only after he revealed his true form that it was discovered that he was originally a powerful demon who had become a spirit.
At this moment He Huaibao, who was on the other side, was also startled when he saw the black goat.
But after brushing the golden-glossy copper ring across the knuckles of his wrist, the surprise in He Huaibao's eyes vanished.
At this moment, the most important thing for him is the inheritance of energy.
He possessed a treasure bestowed upon him by his ancestor, which made him invincible, capable of slaying gods and Buddhas alike!
What are a few lowly disciples of the Nether Sect He Huaibao!
He Huaibao, standing to the side, was clearly confident; when announcing the name of the Nether Sect disciple, he didn't even blink.
Yun Feng, however, was somewhat surprised.
He had never seen these two people before in the Boundless Wilderness, nor had he seen them when he entered the Vast Sea.
Appearing in the arena at this moment, and even bumping into He Huaibao and himself, seems to be quite clever.
Although Yun Feng had never met these two people, he had heard of the Nether Sect.
Although their base is in Yue Province in the south, the Nether Sect is actually quite widely distributed across the Earth Realm.
Because these cultivators are different from normal cultivators, they deal with matters of the underworld.
Within this Earth Realm dwell countless living beings and all things. Under the Reincarnation Temple reincarnation and the Origin Will, some beings will inevitably experience birth, aging, sickness, and death.
The disciples of the Nether Sect summon these beings who are born, grow old, get sick, and die from the Reincarnation Temple, and then drag the souls of the dead back into the Reincarnation Temple.
The body of the dead was collected into a coffin, so although the Nether Sect Sect's foundation was in Yue Province.
But given the vastness of this Boundless Wilderness, it is not surprising that countless disciples of some kind gather the souls and corpses within it.
However, most of these cultivators work for the underworld, so over time, they develop an extremely heavy aura of yin energy around them.
If this yin energy remains in the body for a long time, it will affect the cultivator's true nature.
Look at Cao Chali's bluish tinge on his forehead, and look at Tan Shengzhi's repulsive face. It's because they've been practicing this for a long time that it shows in their appearance and aura.
At this moment, Cao Chali, who was in the scene, was carrying a small box on his back, and the box was completely black.
The space between Cao Chali's arms looked somewhat sinister and eerie.
Yun Feng knew without guessing what was suppressed inside the box.
Yun Feng was naturally not intimidated by Cao Chali's words.
Encountering disciples of the Nether Sect in the Vast Sea was quite unexpected for Yun Feng.
Even the Nether Sect has sent cultivators to the Vast Sea; is it truly impossible for the Daning Commandery Kingdom to find peace?
Currently, only three forces exist within the abyss, and our group has separated within the Vast Sea.
Now that the Nether Sect disciple has entered, and with two Third-rate forces at their disposal, I wonder how Yun Peng and the others are doing.
Suppressing his own thoughts for the time being, Cao Chali, seeing Yun Feng frightened into retreat, curled a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth:
"Hehe! Old buddy! You're in for a treat again today..."
As Cao Chali spoke, he looked at Yun Feng, but his long arm was stroking his small box.
Whether the thing inside the box heard his words or sensed something from the outside world, a series of "clucking" sounds began to emanate from within the box.
The sound was particularly chilling when it reached Yun Feng's ears, like cat claws scratching at his heart, relentlessly ravaging Yun Feng chest.
Seeing Cao Chali's strange expression and the small box making a "clicking" sound, Yun Feng on the other side finally couldn't help but make the first move...
After hearing the "whooshing" sound, Xu Long descended along the bronze chain.
At this moment, the visibility below the stepped shaft was getting lower and lower, while the "whooshing" sound from those eyes was getting louder and louder.
Xu Long extended his will to investigate while continuously tracing the bronze chain.
He found himself following the bronze chains down into the deep pool, where the environment became increasingly cramped.
Based on what we saw in the stepped wells, it's likely that the space becomes increasingly narrow as you go down.
Within that confined space, Xu Long also discovered more than one bronze chain.
This is something that my own will perceived when it reached out, after careful observation.
Xu Long deduced that this was another bronze chain, which had now appeared in the abyss.
However, Xu Long did not see any other bronze chains below that huge stepped well.
The bronze chain continued downwards, and perhaps there were things yet to be explored in that darkness.
The bronze chains that appeared in the abyss at this moment seemed very abrupt, but after Xu Long thought about it carefully, he felt that his previous guess might not have been wrong.
These enormous bronze chains were used to suppress the Vast Sea Dragon King!
Was the bronze chain placed within the abyss truly the work of Saint?
Why would the Vast Sea Dragon King pose a threat to Saint?
For countless years within that Earth Realm, the creatures of the Vast Sea have never wreaked havoc on the Lai Province Continent.
Is this the result of suppression by the Saint?
Or is it merely the Vast Sea Dragon King's resistance against the Saint Daoist Sanctuary?
After experiencing the events in the Buddha Kingdom of Falu, Xu Long knew that on the Lai Province Continent, regardless of the size of the power, every force in the Boundless Wilderness would have Saint Daoist Sanctuary dedicated to a saint.
The Dragon King in that Vast Sea was sealed away by the Saint Daoist Sanctuary.
Could the bronze chains here be the punishment the Saint imposed on the Vast Sea Dragon King?
In this dark and sunless abyss, after being suppressed by those bronze chains for countless years, did the Dragon King really have the strength to resist?
The answer is yes.
Every thousand years in the Vast Sea, a strange calamity will occur, but under that calamity, only the Dragon King himself will resist the Origin Will.
Why didn't the creatures in the Vast Sea join the Dragon King in rebellion?
This area had already been designated Saint Daoist Sanctuary by the sage, beneath those bronze chains.
Even a ferocious beast like King Yuanyuan could only be cautious and could not cross the line beyond the bronze chains.
Over the past thousand years, the Vast Sea Dragon King has continued to expand his divine power, attempting to forge his own path under the arrangement of the Origin Will.
Despite the suppression of bronze chains, despite countless years of solitude, despite the long and perilous journey.
But the Dragon King within the abyss still resisted, constantly stirring up waves in the vast Vast Sea, so that his will could exist eternally between heaven and earth!
Since the Saint had set up the chains within the abyss, Xu Long concluded that there must be more than two bronze chains within it.
The deeper you go, the narrower the underwater space becomes.
I wonder how they managed to make the most of that Abyss Trench when they built these stepwells.
But the thought of the bones turned to dust sent a chill down Xu Long's spine.
Those true cultivators at the cultivation level and the ferocious beasts have probably already turned to dust and vanished at the bottom of the water.
Below this abyss lies an extremely deep trench, yet even here one can already feel its oppressive atmosphere.
This was a unique aura unlike any other in the Vast Sea, and Xu Long was able to confirm it the moment he sensed it.
Even if the one below isn't the Vast Sea Dragon King, it's still a being from the Primordial Era.
After having the inscription engraved, Xu Long became extremely sensitive to the energy of that ancient era.
At this moment, inside the trench, Xu Long had already sensed an unusual aura.
However, under the suppression of those bronze chains, ordinary cultivators would probably find it difficult to detect this fellow's aura.
At this moment, Xu Long circled the enormous bronze chain, constantly patrolling within the abyss.
After descending some distance, the space inside the trench indeed became smaller and smaller.
When Xu Long extended his will, he was able to find the third bronze chain in the trench.
Like the previous bronze chains, this bronze chain also exudes an extremely strong aura of confinement.
These bronze chains have remained completely uncorroded underwater for countless years.
Despite being soaked in seawater and imbued with Magic Power, it still maintained its imposing presence.
If a mere chain can wield such power, how immense must the might of a true Saint be?
The bronze chains beneath the water stretched all the way into the abyss, and above his head was the enormous stepped well.
At this moment, underwater, Xu Long had already discovered four bronze chains, which did not intersect in the abyss.
They simply extended downwards, as if some enormous creature was trapped in the Abyss Trench.
One of these bronze chains was quite heavy; Xu Long had previously used his Dharma Body to barely lift one of them in the waters of King Yuanyuan.
The slightest movement of those bronze chains would be suppressed by the King Yuanyuan at the bottom of the water.
At this moment, in Xu Long's will, these bronze chains remained completely still within the abyss.
It looked as if it had been frozen in the seawater, completely unlike anything that could stretch out.
Looking at the massive four bronze chains, Xu Long gazed down at his lower body.
The greatest secret in that Vast Sea seems to be about to be revealed at this moment.
But before uncovering this secret, Xu Long remained secretly wary of He Huaibao.
This fellow's symbiotic beast is the same as the ferocious beasts in the water, so he must know the secrets of the abyss from the beast's memories.
However, despite searching for a long time, Xu Long still couldn't find any trace of the He Huaibao in the abyss.
Instead, he memorized the enormous bronze chain.
As Xu Long continued downwards, he began to feel the pressure he was under.
The water-repelling pills refined by the cultivators of Luo River Valley were quite difficult to resist even in this abyss.
As Xu Long pondered these matters, he heard another "whooshing" sound in his ears—the sound of the ferocious aquatic beast, He Huaibao.
At this moment, Xu Long's expression changed. His will detected the figure of the aquatic beast, which wasn't very far away!
Behind the He Huaibao, Xu Long also heard several strange "clucking" laughs.
It sounded like the roar of a ferocious beast, the strange laughter mixed with a hint of surprise.
At this moment, Xu Long unleashed his Magic Power in the abyss, and then slowly concealed himself behind the bronze chains.
As they descended deeper and deeper, the He Huaibao underwater had already distanced itself from Cao Chali.
Before him stood Tan Shengzhi, who had transformed into a black goat.
The dark figure behind He Huaibao had now fully revealed itself, causing a look of surprise to appear in Tan Shengzhi's large eyes.
At this moment, He Huaibao no longer cared about Yun Feng's gaze. Once he had dealt with the black goat, the opportunity in the Vast Sea would belong to my Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge!
Seeing the figure of He Huaibao disappear in an instant from the Yun Feng above, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Clearly, none of the Nether Sect disciples present were as important He Huaibao.
It would be even better if the disciples of the Nether Sect obtained that inherited item, since their foundation is in Yue Province in the south.
However, if that He Huaibao were to obtain the inherited item, it would be very difficult for the other two forces within the Daning Commandery Kingdom.
At this moment, within the abyss, it's less accurate to say that Yun Feng came to seize the inherited item, and more accurate to say that he came to stop He Huaibao.
Yun Feng's eagerness was keenly sensed by Cao Chali on the other side.
But at this moment, there was no trace of urgency on Cao Chali's face.
Within this Abyss Trench, he seemed to be strategizing, watching his companions dive down, and a strange smile appeared on his ghostly face.
Tan Shengzhi Tan Shengzhi, you have no idea how formidable that boy in blue is.
That guy's methods are not those of a simple high-level ferocious beast.
Cao Chali had previously searched the soul of a disciple from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, so he naturally knew how secretive He Huaibao's methods were.
Based solely on the claim that the Golden Immortal Ancestor personally bestowed the treasure, Cao Chali would have to shift the blame to Tan Shengzhi.
As expected, He Huaibao below showed no fear during the battle with Tan Shengzhi, which even surprised Tan Shengzhi slightly.
But returning to the abyss at this point would be too humiliating, so despite the pressure from He Huaibao below, Tan Shengzhi was determined to continue the battle.
