Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 574 - 365 Capturing a Creature in the Mystic Nether Realm
Zhao Sheng focused his attention, and indeed he discovered strands of invisible tremors transmitting from the Vortex Sea below.
Upon careful sensing, the colossal suction formed by the vortex, driven by the Mystic Nether energies from the deep heart of the earth, had formed an unbelievably vast and grand field of eddy currents. This was not just confined within this particular Sea Eye, it even shook the Earth Veins and Spirit Veins within ten thousand miles.
Zhao Sheng could even see with his naked eyes the violent fusion and collision of immeasurable Mystic Yellow Earth Qi with the vast nature’s spiritual energy. Countless whirlpools scurried and surged in the seawater, merging at times and collapsing at others.
The real-world ocean vortex interwoven with the grandiose and boundless massive field of energy, indeed sculpted such a fantastical and magnificent natural phenomenon,
The Divine Skill of nature, sending a deep shock from within one’s heart.
"Ten miles below is where the Earth Qi transforms through interaction with nature’s spiritual energy. Follow the flow of the Qi field and burst through in one go, don’t get confused, nor should you resist forcibly!" Hong Qingqiu explained in detail and took the initiative to dive in first.
"Junior Brother, follow behind me." At this moment, Zhai Kong suddenly transmitted his voice,
Zhao Sheng nodded at him, his hands spiraled outward, and in an instant, he released thousands of strands of Sword Intent starlight, revolving and encircling him like a condensed Heavenly River covering his entire body.
With a thought, Zhai Kong swept a five-colored rainbow over his head, instantly turning it into a Rainbow Robe that adhered to his body, like wearing a colorful cloak.
Zhao Sheng followed his senior brother into the depths, but still noted Tu Xinjing with a worried and pained expression. He flung out a Jade Talisman, which exploded with light and surprisingly transformed into a crystal-clear ball of ice, enveloping him.
This person turned out to be a talisman cultivator, evidently with an air of great mastery.
As Zhao Sheng’s thoughts flickered like lightning, his body had already plunged deep into the spirit field vortex. Amid the fierce twisting and spinning of the Qi Sea whirlpools, the rumbling sounds by his ears had already overwhelmed everything else.
As for the immense pressure all around him, Zhao Sheng wasn’t concerned. The Chongliu Armor quietly appeared, expanding outward, producing a ring of verdant Barrier, immediately isolating the noise.
At this moment, looking below, he saw a complex and ever-changing environment that severely limited the range of his Divine Sense, which could now barely probe a hundred zhang at most.
However, at this moment, countless spots of light suddenly came into view from the depths of the vortex and became increasingly clear.
"Be careful!"
Hong Qingqiu suddenly transmitted his voice.
Right then, Zhao Sheng’s eyes twitched.
Whizz!
A Sword Pill shot out like lightning.
Swish, swish!
Almost simultaneously, a vague and slender shadow flashed like lightning toward Zhao Sheng.
Bang!
The Sword Pill met the shadow and explosively shattered it, instantly grinding it into countless wisps of Mystic Yellow and dark grey Yin Qi, which quickly merged into the surrounding Mystic Yellow Qi vortices.
Numerous swirling vortices howled, the edges sharp as knives. The ice ball surrounding Tu Xinjing was covered with innumerable deep scratches and quickly thinned and cracked under the scouring of the whirlpool.
The True Essence Shield around Hong Qingqiu flickered uncertainly, on the brink of collapse, at risk of crumbling at any moment.
Just three thousand zhang deep into the Sea Eye vortex, any one of these whirlpools was already much more powerful than a Second Order Wind Blade, capable of easily slicing through fine steel and grinding iron like mud.
With a slight stirring of his mind, another stream of sword rainbow encircled Zhao Sheng’s body, the starlight hazy, and immediately stabilized the outer Heavenly River.
Whoosh, whoosh!
A few breaths later, the four of them successively passed through this chaotic and complicated undersea region.
The pressure around them suddenly decreased, the speed of the vortex remained the same, but they had passed through the shallowest layer of conflict and the undersea environment had become much more stable.
Before coming here, Zhao Sheng had already learned that the region from eight thousand to thirty thousand zhang within the Sea Eye is known as the middle Mystic Nether Domain.
Mystic Nether refers to water, while Mystic also represents Mystic Yellow Earth Qi, and Nether signifies the Yin Sha death Qi.
Here, the Yin Qi and deathly winds have accumulated over the years, constantly raging, and any ordinary Cultivator who has not reached the Golden Core Realm, whose Qi has not yet merged harmoniously as one, would unwittingly be invaded by the power of Yin Sha, damaging their foundation.
And yet, in such a ghastly place, on the cliff edges of the Sea Eye, several man-high sea caves have been dug out with Yang Gang Rock Gates at the entrances, each shrouded with a layer of thick and Condensed blazing white Barrier.
Zhao Sheng saw this scene and understood; here, the concentration of Mystic Nether’s spiritual energy was comparable to that of a Fourth Order Spiritual Vein. It was not surprising to find Cultivators in deep meditation here.
But this place was exceptionally risky, without Golden Core cultivation, the meditators risked tremendous danger every time they entered or exited the Sea Eye.
Not to mention, just the shallowest layer of conflict was enough to cause them great trouble.
Moreover, such a Treasure Land was coveted not only by the Human Clan, but the middle Mystic Nether region also was home to countless powerful Life forms, Ghosts, and Demons.
Danger lurked everywhere and could happen at any moment.
Zhao Sheng turned to look upwards. There, vortex currents surged, Earth Qi rose and swallowed, spiritual energy vast as an ocean; any single current washed out would reach hundreds of zhang away, and any Divine Sense probing inside would quickly be ground to almost nothing.
"Everyone, follow me!" At this moment, Hong Qingqiu transmitted his voice to the three others, then swiftly swam toward a nearby sea wall cave mansion.
Bang!
The door of the cave mansion suddenly closed, revealing a narrow and cramped corridor that was winding and seemingly endless.
The walls of the corridor were engraved with talismanic script for driving away ghosts and Evil Exorcism, embedded with one Exorcism Spiritual Artifact after another.
"To defend against sea beast attacks, the corridor was deliberately constructed like this. This cave mansion is one of the Wanhua Caves established by our sect. An endless supply of spiritual energy gathers here daily, making it one of the top Cultivation Cave Mansions," explained Hong Qingqiu proudly. "In addition, every Golden Core Main Priest has one benefit; just by presiding over the Heavenly Mansion for one day, you can have temporary ownership of a Wanhua Cave Mansion."
