Chapter 54 Wuwanghai The water of Wuwang Sea is turbid. Although it is connected to the surrounding sea areas, the color is obviously different. Rong Qing recalled the records in the sea chart and compared it with the scene in front of her. Without Yun Tong's explanation, she knew that she had entered the Wuwang Sea. "It's too quiet." Rong Qing thought to herself. When the wind is calm, the sea water will also rise and fall. But the fluctuation of the sea water in the Wuwang Sea is too weak, almost like dead water. "Next, we are going to enter a whirlpool..." Yun Tong looked at Rong Qing and reminded her, "Don't be too nervous. Just follow the whirlpool and enter." "I understand." She nodded. On the way here, Yun Tong had already roughly explained to Rong Qing the characteristics of the Wuwang Sea. The edge of the Wuwang Sea was extremely quiet, but the further inward one went, the faster the seawater flowed, because in the center was a collapsed vortex. There seemed to be a cave inside. But just to pass through the vortex, one had to reach the foundation-building stage to have enough spiritual energy and physical strength to withstand the huge force of the seawater. Of course, Yun Tong had some reservations in what she said, but Rong Qing did not expose them. As Yun Tong took back the Luohe boat, the two Jindan cultivators entered the vortex first. The master and the disciple made a light hand gesture, and a layer of spiritual energy circulated outside their bodies. It seemed thin, but it was extremely strong due to its structure.
The whirlpool on the sea was not surging or roaring, but like a huge mouth that was gaping open, swallowing up any prey that dared to come and die. The two tall figures disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Falling." Rong Qing whispered softly. This silent vortex is the most terrifying. "If I didn't have the sea map, I would have believed that there is a cave underneath." The water sank in the center, as if there was a large hollow space underneath. only…… Rong Qing put on his hood and rushed straight into the whirlpool. Just like Yun Tongling helped the two of them, he sank directly into it and disappeared. ...She was mentally prepared for what was underneath. The so-called "emptiness" is not emptiness, but air! The force inside the seawater was indeed as huge as Rong Qing expected. However, what came in was not Rong Qing's fragile body, but her extremely tough robes. She only needed to roughly protect her exposed face and hands and feet. This vortex was not a threat to Rong Qing's robe clone. The real threat was something that Rong Qing could clearly sense, and that thing was right below, staring at her eagerly. The large outer coat was not in disarray after being ravaged by the seawater, but instead had a faint glow. Fu Xiu, who had been extremely quiet due to the presence of Yun Tong and others, moved. This movement does not reduce its power at all even in turbulent sea water. It was clearly just a thin line, but it was like a knife or a sword, carrying tremendous power, slashing at the death energy rushing up from below. "The death energy that has condensed here after who knows how long is really a huge threat." The death energy that is visible to the naked eye, floating like ink, can be felt to be weakening even if one uses spiritual consciousness to investigate, and it can actually affect the cultivator's sea of consciousness. Rong Qing continued to move forward with increasing speed, and completely entered the bottom of the vortex, that is, the real interior of the Wuwang Sea. After the talisman collided with the death energy, it retracted as soon as it touched and returned to the robe. It stretched out long black lines, looking quite comfortable. But the result was also quite obvious. The death energy that was originally condensed and not dispersed was actually penetrated directly into a straight channel. Rong Qing followed this channel and calmly passed through the barrier formed by the death energy. After passing through this barrier, the field of vision suddenly became much wider. After adjusting his posture in mid-air, Rong Qing quickly summoned the flying sword and sat steadily on the enlarged sword. At this time, Yun Tong and Ling Fu appeared in the distance, looking a little embarrassed. Rong Qing raised her arm and waved at them. This was a completely subconscious move. Yun Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Rong Qing who was shaking her hands at the two of them, but did not go over immediately. The three-way contest had actually begun. Yun Tong and the other two entered the whirlpool first, but Rong Qing caught up and entered the Wuwang Sea first. Yun Tong had a sea map in his hand, so how could he not know where the real danger of the Wuwang Sea was. It was not the whirlpool that looked scary on the surface of the sea, but the deathly aura that was almost everywhere after entering.
Why is the cultivation world so prosperous? It relies on the abundant spiritual energy. The first step from being an ordinary person to becoming a cultivator is to draw energy into the body. This "energy" is naturally spiritual energy. In comparison, the Qi of Life and Death is too rare. It is almost impossible for it to appear unless under special circumstances. Wuwang Sea is obviously such a special environment. A large amount of dead energy is condensed here. After Yun Tong learned this information from the sea chart, he certainly made some countermeasures. The destructiveness of dead energy is extremely shocking. If you are accidentally contaminated, it will cause great damage to your body and sea of consciousness. What's more, in a place filled with dead energy, the spiritual energy is disordered, which is also a big obstacle to casting spells. "This time, I brought almost all the medicinal pills stored in the temple." Yun Tong calculated, "for the purpose of dealing with this situation." He didn't think that Rong Qing would fail in the first test. Yun Tong planned that it would be great if he could use the death energy barrier to consume some of Rong Qing's spiritual energy, or even some of her medicinal pills. However, even if they were prepared, they would not be able to remain calm once they entered the dead energy barrier. Dead energy could easily erode spiritual energy, forcing them to supply spiritual energy to the maximum extent in order to maintain the spiritual energy barrier outside their bodies. If the barrier was broken, they would be exposed to the dead energy, with nowhere to escape. Just as they were frowning at the concentration of the death energy, the concentration of the death energy outside the spiritual energy barrier suddenly increased. "What is this?" Yun Tong suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked towards the place where the vibration came from in disbelief. Even this dense death aura was impossible to penetrate with his sight. "It's Yu Rong." Ling Fu said bitterly. They entered with Rong Qing one after the other, and they were not far apart. Of course, they could sense the drastic changes coming from Rong Qing's direction. …and they are suffering from it. The dead energy that was knocked away did not completely dissipate, but was transmitted layer by layer, and a part of it flowed to where Yun Tong and the others were. They were in a panic, and many talismans were sprinkled out at once to deal with this emergency. The word "bastard" was stuck in his throat, and he didn't have time to curse it out. Because of all the above, Yun Tong's first reaction when he saw Rong Qing waving at him was to be alert. There was no other reason. Even though Rong Qing was at the foundation-building stage, she was safe and sound after experiencing the terrifying deathly aura from above. She did not look embarrassed at all and even had the mind to greet them. Yun Tong understood that they had already lost this invisible contest. As a human instinct for self-protection, Yun Tong was unwilling to get too close to Rong Qing. "Ahem." Rong Qing looked at the other person's frozen steps and withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly. Well, if you don't want to come, then don't come. "In that case, I will go and check if there are any hidden forbidden formations here. Shall we act separately here?" Rong Qing asked good-temperedly. "This is a mother and son snail." Yun Tong took out two white snails, one large and one small, from the storage bag and threw the smaller one to Rong Qing. "Give the son snail to Daoist Yu. If there is any unusual movement, you can use it to contact the mother snail." Rong Qing took the snail, which was only the size of a palm, and rubbed it carefully in her hands. "Good stuff." She praised. Sound transmission instruments are not uncommon in the cultivation world, but when they are used, there will inevitably be a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy. The higher the level of the cultivator, the more likely they are to detect this fluctuation, and even capture it. For this reason, many cultivators have taken a different approach, looking for creatures with similar functions and carefully domesticating them. Just like this mother-and-child snail has a natural ability to connect, which can bypass the detection of high-level cultivators. "They should be lurking in the deepest part." Yun Tong looked down. The concentration of death energy there was even more terrifying. "We will go ahead." "Okay." Rong Qing nodded. The two parties stopped talking and parted ways. Rong Qing watched Yun Tongling and the other two flying down in the air, so she slowly controlled the flying sword and flew straight in one direction. Below the vortex was a barrier of dead air. Passing through the barrier of dead air led to the vast interior. It was funnel-shaped. The dead air was not very concentrated at the top, which was the widest part. As long as you were careful, you could bypass it. "It's a pity," Rong Qing had changed from sitting to stepping on the flying sword, "There is too little spiritual energy here." Rong Qing didn't know whether the information recorded on the sea chart in Yun Tong's hand was much or little, but she knew that the predecessor of Wuwang Sea was indeed Wuwang Mountain. And it wasn't that the mountain was flattened to form the sea. Instead, an entire mountain collapsed. The whole mountain is turned upside down. No wonder, even though the interior is rugged, the overall shape is still funnel-shaped.
"And this mountain is hollow. It doesn't look like it was formed naturally." Rong Qing silently deduced: "If it was, it was done by human hands. Could it be that they were looking for this seemingly endless dead air?" Rong Qing did not go deeper, but chose to fly horizontally in a certain direction in order to observe the mountain wall. "The more complex and advanced the formations and restrictions are, the more media they need to be depicted. Thinking about it this way, the mountain wall is indeed a very good place to set up a large formation. Moreover, if the upside-down Wuwang Mountain was caused by humans before the Ghost-faced Monk, then there must be some clues on the mountain wall." Seeing that Yun Tong and the other two had disappeared far away, Rong Qing no longer paddled slowly, but made hand gestures, and the speed of the flying sword soared. Even if a flying magic weapon like Luo Hezhou, which was not good at speed, was upgraded to full speed, it would only take more than a day to get from Cangliuzhou to Wuwanghai. What's more, Rong Qing's flying sword was of excellent quality, and it was only flying in the mountains. But in a moment, Rong Qing could see the mountain wall clearly from afar. "Sure enough." She looked at the brown-black mountain wall in silence. The harsh environment here meant that no plants could survive. Therefore, the writing on the rock wall was very clear. "This mountain was created by humans." (End of this chapter)
