Abyssal Whirlpool

"Jixing, if I remember correctly, the Source of the Deep Sea is about to emerge, right?" Inside the Yaoguang Immortal Sect, Venerable Yaoguang asked a Nascent Soul Early Stage standing beside him.

The middle-aged man named Jixing did some calculations and replied, "It should be around this time; it'll probably be another fierce battle."

"Senior brother, do we really want to get involved? Those old guys are willing to risk their lives for longevity."

"Whether we take the stuff or not is irrelevant, but we have to make things difficult for them." Venerable Yaoguang said softly, "Don't forget, this secret realm is on our territory. If they dare to openly try to steal it, we have to fight them off, otherwise those guys will think we're easy to bully."

"Furthermore, this time there will be no blockade. Let those smaller factions participate as well. It's better for the smaller factions to benefit than for them to benefit directly."

"Understood."

In a room in a courtyard in the city, Shen Ge slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Then he got up and summoned a water ball to clean himself of all the filth.

After everything was set up, Shen Ge examined his body and nodded with considerable satisfaction.

"Now I can barely be called invulnerable to blades and spears, and my strength has also increased significantly. Even without using spiritual power, I can now go toe-to-toe with third-tier Demon Beast."

Just as he stepped out of the room, a figure suddenly darted over. "Master, what do you think of these talismans I drew?"

Shen Ge looked at the talisman that was almost touching his face, took it, and scolded, "How old are you? Still so immature."

Walking to the stone table in the courtyard and sitting down, Shen Ge placed the talismans on the table, and he immediately noticed all the problems.

"This fireball talisman is alright, it meets the standard. This concealment talisman is not only drawn too heavily, but it's also a bit tilted. Were you affected by something while drawing it?"

"This sword talisman is useless. Don't be fooled by the Spiritual Qi it has; you stopped drawing it halfway through, so it's ruined."

After speaking, Shen Ge looked up at Zhang Fengge and said, "Were you slacking off? Logically speaking, with your current level of cultivation and your main focus on Law Technique, it's impossible for you to make a mistake when drawing a low-grade talisman, right?"

"I'm still learning and not familiar with it yet, Master, please understand," Zhang Fengge replied with an embarrassed expression.

Immediately, she changed the subject, saying, "Master, you seem to have changed a lot during your seclusion this time. I didn't feel that way before, but seeing you today felt like seeing a third-tier Demon Beast. Although you have restrained your aura, my spiritual sense is still frantically warning me to stay away from you."

These words made Shen Ge somewhat alert. He quickly examined his physical body and found that there was indeed still some faint aura emanating from it.

It wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, but if it's like this when we're hiding, then it's unacceptable. So he immediately said, "You continue practicing. I'll go into seclusion and deal with it; there's still a trace of the medicine's effects left."

Looking at Shen Ge, who had already returned to his room, Zhang Fengge couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It was truly the right choice to follow this master; his strength was growing stronger every day.

On the other side, inside a music shop on Sea Moon Island.

The Fairy Miaoyin was playing a musical instrument, and not far away, a young man dressed in a long black robe was listening with his eyes closed.

After finishing the piece, Fairy Miaoyin pressed two fingers on the strings and looked at the young man, saying, "Fellow Daoist Gu, are you satisfied with this piece?"

Gu Ye opened his eyes, a smile spreading across his face, and replied, "Satisfied, very satisfied. The music is like the waves of the sea, one after another, making one feel as if they are in the midst of a turbulent ocean."

"This should be your Thousand Sounds Workshop's Blue Sea Billows Melody, right? You didn't use your spiritual power. Once you use your spiritual power, it won't be like ocean waves anymore; it will be wave after wave crashing against you."

"It seems Fellow Daoist Gu is quite familiar with our Thousand Sounds Workshop," Fairy Miaoyin chuckled.

"We are quite familiar with each other," Gu Ye chuckled, "But only because of you."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Miaoyin paused for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, why bother? I'm not the only woman in the world. With your talent and strength, you can find women anywhere. Why choose me?"

"It's not that I specifically chose you, it's just because it's you."

"I am the leader of a sect, Fellow Daoist Gu, what do you think of my leaving...?"

Before Fairy Miaoyin could finish speaking, Gu Ye interrupted her, saying, "I know, that's why I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for you, until your Thousand Sounds Workshop has an heir."

"I've come to tell you some news: in ten days, the terrifying suction of the Abyssal Whirlpool will cease for a month. And within the abyss, there is a spring that is rich in the Source of the Deep Sea."

"You probably haven't heard of this. This Source of the Deep Sea is a treasure; it can improve your cultivation without any hidden dangers. If you're lucky enough to obtain a large one, you might be able to advance directly to the Late Golden Core Stage."

"The Source of the Deep Sea?" Miaoyin murmured, "Why have I never heard of this thing before? And it's located in the Abyssal Whirlpool, that's impossible!"

"The Abyssal Whirlpool only pauses for a brief month every thousand years, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."

"The message has been sent to you. Whether you go or not is up to you." Gu Ye chuckled and said, "You can also call your friends, otherwise, I'm really worried you might die in there alone."

After saying that, Gu Ye left without lingering.

Watching Gu Ye's retreating figure, Fairy Miaoyin murmured softly, "No wonder so many cultivators from outside Yaoguang Island have come recently; it turns out they're all here for this."

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the communication jade arrow and sent the message to Shen Ge.

It wasn't because of love or anything like that; she simply admired Shen Ge's abilities, and going down with him would give her a greater sense of security.

She always treated Shen Ge as a friend and had absolutely no other thoughts about him.

Afterwards, Fairy Miaoyin sent Zhang Lingyu another message, inviting him to go together as well.

Little did she know, the news had already been spread by the Yaoguang Immortal Sect. Not only had all the major and minor forces received it, but even some powerful Rogue Cultivator had, and they were now calling on their friends to form a team and head there together.

A day later, Shen Ge completely refined the remaining medicinal power, eliminating the dangerous aura emanating from his body.

Before he could even feel happy, he sensed the Sound Transmission Jade Slip in his Storage Bag flashing incessantly.

Who is it that's in such a hurry to find me?

After making a comment, Shen Ge took out Sound Transmission Jade Slip and started reading. Almost all of them were from that fat Zhang Lingyu, with a message from Fairy Miaoyin at the very beginning.

He clicked on it and found that they were all inviting him to go down into the Abyssal Whirlpool to grab treasures.

Seeing that the Source of the Deep Sea could improve cultivation without any hidden dangers, Shen Ge immediately became excited and replied, "See you at the Abyssal Whirlpool. Don't waste my time here."
