Chapter VIII Exploring the Deep Sea

In the blink of an eye, several years had passed. The appointment for the Ten Year Hero Assembly was nearing.

In the past few years, under the example of Jidao Gen and Green-Fin, the two tribes in the sea had been sparing in food and clothing, and their descendants had diligently practiced martial arts in an attempt to achieve victory at the Ten Year Heroes. The gains and losses from this battle were not only related to the honor and disgrace of the two races, but also closely related to the resolution of the energy crisis in Zhong Hai.

Not far away from the place where this agreement had been made was a giant reef that crossed the middle sea and the deep sea. A sparkling and translucent lance was inserted into it.

It landed on the reef, revealing a seven foot long youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was smooth as jade, and a pair of fins sprouted from his back. On his forehead, two long whiskers and a body covered in dazzling golden light hung down from his head.

The youth slowly walked in front of the crystal lance. He looked at the lance, then looked at the pitch-black sea below him, his eyes revealing an endless wistful light. The gentle light in his eyes caused his heroic face to exude an intoxicating warmth. After pondering for a long time, he then heard the old man mumbling, “Is she lying to me, or is Master and Mistress lying to me?”

As if he had made up his mind, he rushed forward with one hand holding the spear. He pulled with all his might, and with a loud bang, the reef he was standing on shattered into pieces, and the crystal spear fell into the young man’s hands.

The happiness on the youth’s face flickered, but soon after, his gaze shifted to the dark abyss below his feet, where no one could tell what he was thinking. His expression became solemn once more, and gradually, his expression became as cold as ice and hard as iron.

He let out a long shout, put his hands behind his back, and dived headfirst into the deep sea that was as black as iron.

Endless darkness invaded his eyes from all sides, and for a moment he felt as if he were in a solid, dark place, not a floating sea.

He used his Fa Li to activate the Holy Radiance Dazzling Spring that had merged into his body. The Holy Light shone through the scales all over his body, clearing his field of vision and finally allowing him to clearly see everything within a radius of five miles.

Under the guidance of the Holy Light, he started to wander downstream. He did not meet any obstacles along the way and began to feel that Master and Mistress as well as the other races of Zhong Hai thought that this “Deep Sea Black Abyss” was too terrifying and too hard to deal with.

With her help, he was sure that he could successfully solve the energy crisis in the Central Sea. It was said that at the bottom of the sea where she lived, there was a sun, which was the true source of light. The reason why the younger generations of Zhong Hai’s clans had to train so hard in the Ten Year Hero Assembly was so that they could find it and solve the energy crisis in the sea. Now, it seemed like there was no need for them to go through all this trouble.

This power seemed to come from the space of the entire deep sea. Even though his cultivation level was not the same as before, and he was no longer the little guy from back then, he still could not stand up in this torrent of raging waves. Under the impact of the thousands of ripples in the deep sea, he actually could not spread the two fins on his back, and was unable to move his body, as if his body was frozen.

Following which, a mouthful of fangs suddenly opened up within the sea, as if the fangs itself belonged to the entire deep sea, as if the entire deep sea was the bloody mouth of a giant beast. Now, the giant beast opened up its mouth, revealing its fangs, wanting to choose a person to devour.

However, there was only one person standing in front of the fang, and that was Jin Jian.

Many years ago, he was named Jin Jian by the leader of the Zhong Hai Ice Origin Clan, Ji Dao Gen Wang, and was carefully controlling him. Now, he possesses profound magical powers and has become a popular candidate for the Ten Year Hero Meeting!

Although Jin Jian’s current magical power could be considered a temporary option among the younger generation members of the clan, he still lacked experience in dealing with sudden situations. Moreover, this sudden development was extremely hair-raising.

Jin Jian was so scared that his jaw dropped, he even forgot to move for a moment. The fangs ferociously charged towards him, the sea water was hit, the dark waves surged everywhere, and Jin Jian could not stand up straight from the violent impact. It was as if he had hit a hard object, and the impact immediately woke him up.

He firmly tied the crystal lance behind his back and, with a flick of his hand, took out the item behind him. As he had expected, it was a heavy and sturdy object that looked like a statue, but the light was too poor to discern its shape. Jin Jian did not have the time to think about all these. He used all his strength and smashed the statue towards the fang.

The statue shattered into pieces that flew in all directions, and the piece of the statue’s head actually smashed back towards Jin Jian’s chest. Jin Jian instinctively grabbed onto the piece of broken stone and was about to throw it away, but when he accidentally glanced at the head in panic, he suddenly thought of something, and felt that the face on the head looked a little familiar. He quickly pulled the crystal spear from his pocket, and waved it in front of the giant mouth, intending to scare the giant creature away.

He didn’t expect that the giant beast would completely look down on him and come towards him fearlessly. A wave of fishy smell instantly engulfed him as it opened its huge mouth. The inside of the mouth was even darker than the sea water in the deep sea, and its aura was even colder. The cold moisture seeped into Jin Jian’s throat and instantly spread to his limbs and bones.

The surging waves caused by the monster in the sea were completely calmed down by the palm’s power. The deep sea returned to its calm, and the huge mouth that was originally approaching Jin Jian suddenly stopped in front of Jin Jian’s palm. The tiger closed its mouth and sank into the dark sea. The Deep Sea returned to its original dark and metallic appearance.

All of this happened so suddenly that Jin Jian, who was still in a daze, did not know what to do.

A vigorous voice came from the deep sea, “That youth from Zhong Hai, how long are you going to take this opportunity to escape?”

With a single sentence, Jin Jian woke up from his dream and instantly quivered. He spread his fins and quickly drew a line in the deep sea.

Until Jin Jian’s figure could no longer be seen, another domineering and fierce voice resounded within the deathly deep abyss, “Why don’t you let ‘Void’ devour his life’s spirit energy, turn it into a statue, and let him leave?”

The vigorous voice laughed, “Does the High Lord still lack life spiritual energy? As this person is poisoned, he is destined to not live past twenty years. Therefore, he was selected by the Zenith Sect King to be the focus of attention and nurture by the representative of the Ice Origin Clan. If he were to be eliminated, the entire plan might be reborn and affect the holding of the Ten Year Hero Assembly. ”

The fierce voice said, “Hmph, what are you afraid of him for? Without this person, the Ice Plains race would choose others to participate in the battle. They were incompatible with the water and fire of the blood race. The two races would never allow anyone who could find a new source of light to fall into the hands of the other! We will give our all to the clan. If one dies, he will choose another one! ”

The vigorous voice laughed again, “In times of emergency, we naturally have to ensure that our plans are complete. Let’s just endure for now!”

A muffled groan came from the seawater, but another voice remained silent for a long time.

As the water splashed about, Jin Jian leaped up from the “Deep Sea Black Abyss”. Standing on that reef, his heart was beating wildly and he could not calm down for a long time. Luckily, the spear in his arms was still there.

As he was thinking, he suddenly felt a weight on his chest and the statue’s head rolled out from his chest. As Jin Jian was thinking, he suddenly felt a weight on his chest and the statue’s head rolled out. It seemed it was necessary to bring him back so that Master and Mistress could have a look. Wait a minute, if they ask me where this statue came from, what should I say? “If they were to find out about my secret, Master would definitely be angry. What is this?

With his back facing them, Jin Jian took a step forward on the reef. “What should I say?”

As he was thinking, he felt a sudden pain in his butt, as if he had been struck. Jin Jian suddenly jumped, turned around and waved his fists. “Who is it?” Unexpectedly, just as he turned his head, a fist-sized reef came flying over.

Jin Jian was fast to the point that he caught the reef in his hand. “Who threw a rock at me!” He lifted the rock and was about to throw it back where it came from, but when he saw the person before him, he was stunned.

A young girl jumped up to him and put her hands on her hips. She glared at Jin Jian angrily. “What are you trying to do?”

Jin Jian immediately felt a deeper fear than when he saw the bloody mouth, “Uh, Ying… Senior Sister … “You, why are you here?”

Ji Ying snorted, snatching the reef from Jin Jian’s hands, raising his hands in a fighting stance. Jin Jian hurriedly covered his head with both hands and fled in panic, and immediately shouted, “Reporting to senior sister, junior has an important report!”

Ju Ying was startled: “What’s the situation? Tell me about it! ”

Jin Jian pointed at the rock in her hand. “Can we throw that away first?”

Ji Dao Yin coldly laughed: “Don’t even think about it, quickly tell me the truth!”

Jin Jian hurriedly handed over the head that was shattered from the statue. “Er, senior sister, please look!”

Ying Dazhi brought his eyes closer, looking at it carefully a few times: “What is this?”

“Stone Statue,” Jin Jian said, “Senior Sister, don’t you think that the face on the stone statue looks a little familiar?”

Ji Ying bent his body and examined the face of the stone statue for a long time: “Unlike father, unlike eldest senior brother, unlike other uncles, nothing looks familiar… “Oh, I see. You saw that I had something on you, so you wanted to use this to stall me, didn’t you?”

“That’s not right!” Jin Jian said with a serious expression, “Senior Sister, please look. This face is life-like and muddled, not like an axe. This statue is actually in the deep sea …”

“Hmm?” Polar Shadow’s eyes were as big as bells. “Deep Sea?” She pointed a finger at Jin Jian’s forehead. “Good, you actually went into the deep sea by yourself while I was gone! You know how dangerous that is! “Mhmm …”

After Ying Ji roared a few times, he grabbed his waist, bent his body, and looked at Jin Jian from his chest all the way to his back, from his head to his feet. He suddenly cried out, “Wow, you’re fine!”

Jin Jian jumped in shock, and then Ying Ji moved his eyes a little closer, almost touching his face. He blinked his eyes and asked: “Tell me, Little Scissor, do you feel uncomfortable?”

Jin Jian shook his head. “No.”

“Then you,” Extreme Dao Ying raised his eyes and scanned Jin Jian’s body, “Do you feel any changes?”

Jin Jian frowned and thought for a while. “I don’t feel anything. Should I have made any changes?”

Ji Dao Ying raised his head and placed his hand on his chin: “Strange, logically speaking, you should be submerged in the deep sea and won’t be coming anymore!”

Jin Jian’s eyes stared at her. “What?”

Ji Dao Ying said: “Didn’t you hear what father said? Since ancient times, the creatures that had sunk into the depths of the sea, regardless of their cultivation level, would never return. They never returned to the middle sea again. You are the first person to come out of the deep sea after all these years! ”

When Jin Jian heard this, he was stunned. “Oh!”

After seeing his calm reaction, Ying Ying felt it was strange, so he asked, “What’s wrong with you? You don’t seem to be excited at all!”

Jin Jian sat down on the reef. “What’s there to be excited about? I only found out after going there that thinking about the deep sea really isn’t that easy. “But why did she lie to me that as long as I pull out this crystal lance, I would be able to find her at the bottom of the sea?”

“Ai!” Extreme Dao Ying held his forehead and sighed, “How many times do you want me to tell you before you understand? The people at the bottom of the sea never knew how difficult it was for us in Zhong Hai. To them, as long as they get used to the pressure underwater, they can go to the bottom of the sea to play, but that’s because they can freely pass through the ‘Deep Sea Black Abyss’, but we can’t do it, so they might not necessarily be lying to you, it’s just that they might not know for a while that there’s a ‘Deep Sea Black Abyss’ between the Central Sea and the depths of the sea, an almost impossible situation. ”

“Then wouldn’t my years of bitter cultivation be of no use?”

Ju Dao Ying clenched his two small fists in anger, and ruthlessly knocked on his head: “What nonsense are you spouting!” Do you know how much effort my father poured into you? Your current strength is enough to catch up with eldest senior brother, and you are a hot candidate for the Ten Year Hero Association.

For many years, Jin Jian had always been thinking about that promise he made to himself. It was because of that promise that he was able to train diligently and utilize his talents to such an extent.

Even though Master, Mistress, Senior Brothers, and Sister had repeatedly mentioned to him that the deep sea wasn’t something that could be pushed down by the water pressure, he hadn’t wavered at all.

“Now, he was confident that he could pull out the crystal spear that she had left at the intersection of the two seas and pass her test. He went to the bottom of the sea to look for her. The Deep Sea Abyss was like an insurmountable barrier. Not only did it separate him from the world under the sea, but the beautiful figure in his heart was also cut off by the abyss that burst into his heart. He could not see a single hope from far away.

Ji Dao Ying originally wanted to tease him like he usually did and tell him, “Actually, he has already forgotten about you. People at the bottom of the sea look at us like we look at the sea beasts. In their eyes, we are just a low level race. At most, they would treat you as a pet. Have you ever seen one that has been worried about you for so many years? ”

The words were already in her throat, but when she lowered her head to stare at Jin Jian, she was about to pour them all out. However, he realized that Jin Jian was sitting underneath him, with a look of worry on his face that was as deep as the ocean beneath his feet. His eyes were flashing faintly with tears.

Ji Dao Ying’s heart suddenly ached, “Oh, what a pitiful little scissors!”

Polar Ying understood that the torment of love was not something that could be easily resolved, even though that person was the younger brother whom he had always doted on since he was young.

The intersection of the two seas was at the point where the two types of water pressure met. The currents in the darkness were like the cold wind at the mouth of the wind on the ground, chilling people’s hearts with the wind. Extreme Dao Ying also thought of that person in his heart, for a moment feeling endless annoyance.

The cold environment and depressed mood made them hate this place. Ying Ying pulled Jin Jian’s hand and said, “Let’s go. We won’t stay here. Let’s go to the ‘Skeleton Cavern’ to find senior apprentice brother.”
