This mysterious sea seems to have been forgotten for countless years; beneath its clear surface, only a sigh from countless years ago can be heard.
The so-called struggle against heaven and earth continues for countless years, but the true soul of this sea has fallen into slumber.
Perhaps there were once powerful beings who fought against heaven and earth, creating and shaping the world here.
But in the surging sea, it has probably closed its eyes forever!
Amidst the mud and sand, Xu Long had no idea where he was in the Vast Sea; he only remembered that the ferocious aquatic beasts had thrown them extremely far away.
After letting out a sigh, Xu Long gradually turned his attention to himself.
Entering the Vast Sea is undoubtedly for the purpose of seeking cultivation resources, and there are already quite a few cultivators in the Vast Sea.
Whoever finds the place of inheritance first will be the ultimate victor.
Xu Long pondered for a moment, then pulled out the jade bottle from his sleeve.
After taking a water-repelling pill, he released a dark shadow.
The dark shadow in the mud and sand suddenly darted away. A smile appeared in Xu Long's eyes, and he immediately followed the shadow.
A long bubble rose from the bottom of the trench, and after Xu Long's figure disappeared, it was as if a page had been turned at the bottom of the thick mud and sand.
The loosened mud and sand, as if unable to support themselves, slid down together towards the bottom of the deep trench.
The traces Xu Long left behind have been completely covered up...
After following the dark figure at high speed, Xu Long emerged from this long trench.
The scene at the bottom of the Vast Sea is exceptionally tranquil, as if the pause button has been pressed, and scenes from countless years ago are frozen in time here.
What appears now is merely a microcosm of what happened ten thousand years ago; Xu Long's will has always been on the shadowy figure ahead.
The shadowy figure was the Spirit-Seeking Armadillo we obtained in the Land of Exile; this beast's greatest skill was finding spiritual objects in the world.
He gave one of his water-repelling pills to the armadillo, and after swimming around underwater for a while, the armadillo carried Xu Long away at high speed.
Only after escaping the trench did Xu Long realize that He Huaibao and scheming fellow.
There was nothing in the desolate depths of that trench, and He Huaibao exiled everyone there.
The purpose is to make them lose their way and eventually become trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves.
With the armadillo leading the way, the view at the bottom of the sea gradually opened up.
Xu Long's will communicated with the armadillo, and they discovered a dense coral reef in the waters ahead.
And within the coral reefs, countless fish swam about, finally bringing some life to this underwater world.
When Xu Long returned from that desolate place, he also sensed a trace of spiritual energy.
I originally thought there was no spiritual energy in the Vast Sea, but now I find that there is spiritual energy in the coral reef.
A hint of surprise flashed through Xu Long's mind; it seemed there were still many mysteries hidden within this Vast Sea.
The armadillo rolled over among the coral reefs, protected by the water-repelling elixir.
It was like a fish in water, completely unaffected by gravity.
After rummaging around in the coral reef for a while, it had reached a deeper part of the coral. Suddenly, the armadillo's little eyes lit up, and it finally spotted some prey somewhere.
Those swimming fish are merely food for the ferocious aquatic beasts, while the armadillos are the prey lurking deep within the coral reefs.
The presence of aquatic beasts here proves that spiritual energy from heaven and earth can grow here.
The armadillo suddenly leaped out of the water, its floating body paddling wildly like a sea lion.
When the armadillo entered the depths of the coral reef, it discovered a special spiritual herb within Xu Long's will.
This was the message transmitted by the armadillo through its will, and Xu Long followed the armadillo's figure into the depths of the coral reef.
The fish in his field of vision were driven away, Xu Long discovered an underwater jungle among the coral reefs ahead.
The spiritual energy within the jungle had noticeably thickened, and a golden light shone from within his eyes.
The reeds in the jungle were then neatly parted, revealing a large clump of grass-like plants behind the dense reeds and seaweed.
Behind the green grass, there was a blade of grass that shimmered with gold.
A hint of joy immediately appeared in Xu Long. This was a precious spiritual essence of heaven and earth— the Sweet Dew Grass!
These are spirits that cannot grow on land; due to their unique nature, they can only grow in small numbers at the bottom of seas and lakes year-round.
Sweet Dew Grass has a slow growth cycle and initially looks no different from ordinary green grass.
However, after growing for five hundred years, its appearance will gradually turn golden, which is used to distinguish it from other plants that have matured.
This ingredient is added to both Tianyun and Mystic Origin Barrier-Breaking Pill, making it an excellent choice for medicinal use.
However, this creature is inevitably protected by ferocious beasts, and cultivators rarely venture into the sea to explore it. Therefore, there are shops outside that have been buying and selling this creature for a long time.
Finding a Sweet Dew Grass here was a delightful surprise; armadillos truly possess the innate ability to find spirits.
Inside the seaweed, there was clearly a cluster of Sweet Dew Grass, but at this moment only one plant was mature, and the joy that had appeared in Xu Long's eyes diminished slightly.
After briefly scanning the area where the armadillo had disappeared and finding nothing amiss, Xu Long flashed forward, heading towards the underwater jungle.
As they approached the jungle, Xu Long was already preparing to spread his arms wide and part the dense seaweed.
But at that moment, a shrill roar suddenly rang in my ears, and a ferocious gaze shot out from behind the underwater jungle.
Before Xu Long could react, that ferocious gaze shot out.
A long, sharp claw suddenly emerged from the seaweed behind them.
It carried a chilling glint, and when it emerged from the water, it was like a sharp sword, ready to cleave open the chest of the person before it in an instant.
Before the roar in my ears had faded, the whistling sound of the sword flying towards me rang out again.
The claws moved with incredible speed in the water, barely creating a splash, and by the time they reached Xu Long, it was too late.
Xu Long, who was standing before the sharp claws, suddenly smiled and did not dodge or avoid the seaweed jungle.
He condensed a hand seal and instantly unleashed it towards the sharp claws.
boom!
A muffled sound suddenly erupted from the seabed.
The hand seal, already possessing the power to explode when condensed in the palm, instantly released its energy upon contact with the claws.
The jungle in front of him was suddenly shattered by a powerful force, and the energy released by the detonation of the magic seal surged in all directions.
Xu Long, who was originally in the jungle, had already suddenly retreated when the Dharma Seal was released.
The claws shot out and collided with the hand seal with a muffled "thud".
A burst of tiny bubbles erupted underwater, and the claws abruptly stopped outside the jungle.
roar!
The ferocious beast hidden in the jungle suddenly roared.
After striking the seal, the once sharp claws were now a bloody mess.
In that burst of energy, the muscles, bones, blood, and flesh had already transformed into a tangled mass of skin and flesh.
A long arm emerged from the jungle, and the sharp claws that had just gleamed coldly were now curled up beneath the arm.
Sparks of starlight still twinkled between the flesh and blood, containing boundless energy.
Even after the explosion of the Islamic seal, it continues to provoke the ferocious beasts hidden in the jungle.
One roar after another echoed through the jungle, arms trembling violently, causing the fish in the coral reefs to scatter.
The power of the Dharma Seal was only now revealed. After retreating, Xu Long turned around again and his gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at the chaotic jungle!
Buzz!
After a crisp sword cry, a white light suddenly streaked out from the seabed.
This white light was originally colorless, but it appeared whitish under the sunlight shining on the water's surface.
After a sword cry, a chilling sword aura erupted instantly.
A glint of sword light was reflected in the eyes of the ferocious beast hidden in the jungle, and the incoming sword energy instantly swept across the jungle.
It was suddenly thrust out from behind, and at that moment a buzzing sound suddenly rang out from the bottom of the water.
Xu Long's eyes flashed; it was the voice of the Beast-Taming Ring. What a small world!
They're from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge!
Upon hearing the buzzing sound, Xu Long confirmed that cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge were lying in ambush.
He had actually sensed something was amiss long ago. Since this Sweet Dew Grass was a precious spiritual essence, there must be ferocious beasts guarding the environment in which it grew.
However, Xu did not find any ferocious beasts guarding the coral reefs, and the Sweet Dew Grass behind the jungle was particularly conspicuous.
It was as if it had been specially displayed behind the seaweed, waiting for Xu Long to come and pick it.
At first, Xu Long thought the ferocious beast hidden behind was the guardian beast of the Sweet Dew Grass.
Upon hearing the trembling sound of the copper ring, they realized that this object was probably placed here intentionally by the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge.
Hmph! If you hadn't been so clever, I wouldn't have been able to find this spirit.
Xu Long only glanced at everything in his mind before he understood it all.
The will extended above the sword light, and then that white light suddenly slashed down in the forest.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A clang of metal clashing erupted in the jungle, instantly stirring up the ferocious beast that had been roaring.
After the sword strike, the jungle in the field was completely destroyed, and countless bubbles moved with the sword light.
The sword light flashed with incredible speed, like a flying needle piercing through the beast's heart.
A "splashing" sound rang out, and countless bubbles burst instantly, staining the water at the bottom of the coral reef blood-red.
The golden light that had just shot out suddenly swirled away, and in Xu Long appeared a ferocious beast that resembled a bull but was not.
It has a round body, short legs, a long nose like a pig, ears like a cow, and a long tusk growing from each of its lower jaws.
The moment it appeared, a fierce aura emanated from it, but by then the beast had already rolled out of the jungle.
Several transparent holes were pierced inside and outside its heart cavity, releasing bright red blood as the water flowed through it.
After being struck by the sword light, the bull-shaped beast's momentum on the field had already waned.
Xu Long held nothing back when condensing the magic seal and unleashing the sword light; the specks of starlight and the tiny sword energies tormented it.
Bright red blood continued to leak out, and the ferocious beast's momentum began to wane.
Its round body curled up behind the jungle, its gaze lingering on the golden Sweet Dew Grass.
Seeing this, Xu Long did not approach the seaweed again. At this moment, the ferocious beast was not the companion beast of the cultivators of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, but more like the guardian beast of this Sweet Dew Grass.
A thought of doubt flashed through Xu Long's mind, and he thought to himself: This is bad!
With a thought, he summoned the sword light that had been swirling around, but at that moment, a shrill roar suddenly came from the seaweed thicket.
Xu Long's gaze sharpened; this was the ferocious beast of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge cultivators. The thought settled in his mind.
When that shrill roar reached my ears, it transformed into rolling sound waves!
A buzzing sound filled my mind, a roaring sound like a great bell, constantly vibrating within me.
The sound waves almost made Xu Long's body sway uncontrollably.
The Wisdom Sword of wisdom within the Sea of Consciousness swung up automatically, and the precious light above the spiritual platform shimmered.
Xu Long's eyes snapped open, and a trickle of scarlet blood suddenly gushed from his nostrils.
The golden hairpin bun shattered in an instant amidst the rolling sound waves, and the scattered strands of hair floated up from the bottom of the water.
The sound was extremely heavy. This was the first time Xu Long had been attacked by the sonic waves emitted by such a ferocious beast, and the attack had already disrupted the Magic Power within his body.
At this moment, Xu Long closed his five senses, and at the same time, the Wisdom Sword in his Sea of Consciousness continuously swept up, dispelling the sound waves on his spiritual platform one by one.
After this defensive maneuver, the surging Magic Power within his body was finally suppressed.
Xu Long slowly exhaled a breath of bloody stench, but at that moment, a magic seal quickly emerged from the seaweed.
When the Mystic Immortal Dharma Seal rose from the bottom of the water, it was accompanied by a wisp of fine bubbles.
With Xu Long unprepared, the cultivators from Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge opposite him clearly wanted to take advantage of his weakness and kill him!
The Dharma seal beneath his eyes flashed rapidly, arriving before him in an instant.
The explosive power made Xu Long frown slightly; the magic seal in front of him had already begun to crack before it even touched Xu Long.
Fine lines opened and closed on the mudra, and streams of energy instantly flowed out.
After a loud "boom", a huge splash of water suddenly rose up in front of Xu Long.
Amidst the splashing water, countless other droplets of water were released, the energy from the explosion of the Dharma Seal being fully released into the Vast Sea.
The intense energy stirred up countless streams of water, which instantly turned into bubbles and boiled.
Xu Long, who was in the middle of the scene, kept retreating, his body forming one curtain wall after another.
The energy in front of him was like a persistent, invasive disease, advancing as Xu Long retreated.
Xu Long knew that the roar of the ferocious beast had not yet dissipated. At this moment, the hidden cultivator was behind him, and when he used the rolling sound waves to unleash his magic seal, his power was even more fierce.
As Xu Long retreated, he continuously propped up the curtain wall in front of him.
The magic seal attacked using the power of sound waves, leaving Xu Long, inside the curtain wall, somewhat disheveled.
A series of "crackling" sounds came from beside his ears, and the residual power of the exploding magic seal was completely released in front of him.
Xu Long's curtain wall shattered completely at the last moment, and Xu Long's body plummeted from the seabed.
With a muffled "thud," a patch of coral behind them was violently smashed.
The power of the Dharma seal surged into the sky, instantly creating a dense burst of bubbles at the bottom of the water.
The broken coral fragments turned to dust in an instant at the bottom of the water, and the seawater around Xu Long instantly became scalding hot.
He was alone amidst the intense heat, his face turning slightly flushed.
