In Ye Xiao’s view, five people soon entered. They were a group of Nine Fusion Sovereign Realm Formation Masters and Divine Inscription Masters.
In fact, there was only one Divine Inscription Master in that group, and her name was Chen Xia.
An energy barrier was protecting them from getting submerged in water. This energy barrier was not formed from a formation or Divine Inscription, instead, it was the result of Water Expelling Pearl, an oddity that is neither hard nor easy to find.
“Is that a Mountain Range?”
The five of them soon located Ye Xiao’s humongous body and astonishingly looked at him. In their eyes, Ye Xiao was but a Mountain Range. Moreover, because Ye Xiao did not move, he did seem like a huge Mountain Range.
The five of them arrived on the back of Ye Xiao soon and sat down. They felt like sitting on a rock instead of someone’s body. .𝘤𝑜𝑚
“What should we do now?” Xuan Yu, one of the five people, spoke with some worry on his face.
“I don’t know. We have been stuck here for many days already, and haven’t found a way out. Moreover, we have to stay on the surface of the ocean for most of the time because underwater is filled with all kinds of dangerous aquatic Chaos Beasts. However, there is nothing on the surface. If there is a way out, then it must be in the sea bed. No matter how long it takes, we have to find it.”
Ren Kuang, a middle-aged man sighed deeply and shook his head in worry. An unknown fear has already clouded his heart. In fact, this was the case for everyone.
“The legend was always true. It is no wonder that no one was able to return alive after entering the Deep Sea Abyss. This ocean is so vast, that even if we continue to search for thousands of years, we might not be able to find a way out. We foolishly threw our lives just because of the words of those two people from the Yu Family.”
Chen Xia sighed, she had the same worried expression on her face.
“Yes, right!” Xuan Yu nodded and continued, “They told us that Emperor Star Forest entered the Deep Sea Abyss and god out safe and sound, and we believed everything they told us without a second thought. Now that I think about it, there is no evidence of Emperor Star Forest entering the Deep Sea Abyss and returning safely. What if it is just a rumor created by those two people to trap all the Formation Masters and Divine Inscription Masters in the Deep Sea Abyss forever? What if they are planning to do something earthshattering in the absence of all the Level 7 and above Formation Masters and Divine Inscription Masters?”
“…..”
This conversation continued until an hour later, Chen Xia said, “Let’s not be bothered. Since we are already trapped in the Deep Sea Abtss, we have to continue finding a way out. We should not give up. Furthermore, since we don’t know where to go, why don’t we visit that place we found earlier?”
“Are you sure? You should know that we almost died there before!” Cao Xiaobai shuddered when she recalled what happened a few days ago. If possible, she doesn’t want to go there.
However, Xuan Yu nodded and supported Chen Xia’s words, saying, “I also think we should go and explore that place. Yes, that place is dangerous, however, what if there is what we are looking for, a way out of the Deep Sea Abyss? Moreover, the more dangerous an area, the possibility of finding something extraordinary is also very high.”
Han Fei, the last member of the team, also nodded at this moment and said, “Let’s just dive down and see. Let’s believe in ourselves.”
After that, he looked at the mountain range and said, “As for this peculiar place, let’s come back to explore it after exploring that place. We might find something here as well!”
“Alright, let’s go!”
…..
In the water, the five people could be seen diving in a fixed direction at a very fast speed.
After the previous talk, they left immediately.
Ye Xiao was also attracted by their conversation. They found a very dangerous place in the seabed, which means something must be there.
After they left, Ye Xiao transformed back into his human form and silently started following them.
A few hours later, they arrived in front of a trench. They stopped above it and seemed to be worried about something. The trench was deep, and nothing could be seen there clearly.
A moment later, everybody started descending slowly. The deeper they went, the darker it became. Very soon, they started encountering one or two aquatic Chaos Beasts. They had no choice to but join together and fight. After killing, they continued to descend.
More than an hour later, they only descended for almost a thousand meters.
At this time, Cao Xiaobai finally spoke, “Everyone, be careful. We have almost reached that place. That place is weird, and we can not afford to lay our guard down.”
Xuan Yu nodded and heaved a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, we don’t need to go to the surface from time to time for breathing. This Water Expelling Pearl not only expels water but also provides us with air to breathe.”
Ye Xiao, on the other hand, had already gone to the surface one time to breathe. At that moment, he really felt very lucky to have the ability to teleport. Otherwise, he would have already lost these people.
Moreover, the range of his teleportation was not short. Even after sealing his cultivation, the range he could teleport to was tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
So, teleporting to the surface of the ocean before coming down only took about a few seconds.
Ye Xiao followed them from a certain distance while hiding his aura. He soon saw them stopping in front of a mound-like structure. The entire structure was covered in Divine Inscriptions.
Even from afar, Ye Xiao could sense a very special form of energy from that mound-like structure.
“Is this the dangerous place they talk about?”
Ye Xiao muttered and kept observing the situation. He saw Chen Xia going near the mound and started reading the Divine Inscriptions.
In the team of five, she was the only Divine Inscription Master. She understood the Divine Inscriptions very quickly and started carving her own Divine Inscriptions in a few places on the mound.
Not long after, the entire mound shone with silvery-white light. The light transformed into the shape of a gate.
When the light disappeared, Ye Xiao could see a door on the mound-like structure.
The five people looked at each other and nodded. Then they carefully pushed open the door.
Nothing could be seen on the other side of the door.
After hesitating for a while, the five of them entered. Just a moment later, the door was closed on its own.
It was then Ye Xiao appeared in front of the door. He carefully observed the door and the Divine Inscriptions on the mound-like structure. In the end, he could not understand the Divine Inscriptions so he also pushed open the door and entered.
The instant he entered, he appeared in an entirely new area. There was no longer water around, instead, he appeared to be in a cave with several tunnels going in different directions.
The place where he appeared only had a giant Ice Crystal, even bigger than Ye Xiao’s own height, floating in midair. Waves of icy energy were constantly being discharged from the Ice Crystal. It might be because of the giant Ice Crystal, but the entire cave seemed to have been frozen completely.
Ye Xiao immediately covered his body with a layer of energy that protected him from the icy energy being discharged from the Ice Crystal.
“What exactly is this Ice Crystal?”
Ye Xiao muttered. It is because he could feel that very special energy he felt outside the door from this Ice Crystal. And now that he was standing in front of this crystal, that feeling was magnified by hundreds of times.
Ye Xiao activated the Eyes of Insight and looked at the giant Ice Crystal closely.
Very soon, his gaze penetrated through the layers of Ice Crystal and entered its core, locating a palm-sized crystal slowly spinning gracefully under a protective barrier.
“Water Source Crystal!”
Ye Xiao’s body trembled the moment he located the Water Source Crystal inside the giant Ice Crystal.
It turned out that one of the Source Crystals was placed inside this cave.
Could it be that the Evil-eyed Golden Lion is here as well?
Ye Xiao immediately became alert and flew toward the Ice Crystal. No matter what, he has to obtain the Water Source Crystal.
However, before he could draw closer, a fleeting image crossed his vision and a small lion cub appeared in Ye Xiao’s line of sight. The lion cub was completely golden, however, its eyes were unlike its body. This cub had entirely dark eyes with crimson irises.
“Evil-eyed Golden Lion?”
Ye Xiao muttered in confusion!
