He gently massaged the back of her head with his fingers to relieve her tension: "Don’t worry. First, tell me, can you feel your body? Like comfort or pain?"

Being massaged like this by him was certainly comfortable, but how was she supposed to tell him that?

He seemed to know what she was thinking: "Blink once for yes, twice for no."

She quickly blinked once.

"Is there a dull pain in your mind?"

She thought about it and blinked twice.

He immediately relaxed, it seemed it was not a lingering effect of brain or Divine Soul injury.

"Are you sleepy, constantly wanting to sleep?"

Indeed, he was really smart! She blinked forcefully once.

Changtian’s lips curled slightly, and he gave her a strong kiss on her eyelid, scaring her into closing her eyes. Since when did this person develop the bad habit of greeting others’ eyes?

"Well, I think I know what’s going on now."

He knew? She widened her eyes in anticipation, only to find he stopped there, smiling: "Let’s go back first and get you settled. You really are... so smelly."

Ning Xiaoxian was both embarrassed and mortified. She had been soaked in the sea for quite a while, and she wasn’t sure whether the seawater was stagnant or something else, but though clear, it was somewhat sticky and had a slight strange smell after prolonged exposure. Earlier, he held her tightly, making her wonder if he had lost his sense of smell, knowing this guy always had a cleanliness obsession; turns out it was just a moment of excitement, and he remembered afterwards.

In her annoyed gaze, Changtian cast a Cleaning Technique over both of them, then wrapped her in a silver cloak and stably stood on the sea. In this Endless Sea Eye, only reaching the True Immortal Realm could one avoid the suppressive power here and display their own Divine Skills.

Immediately, the black ground they stood on moved.

Um, wasn’t this a solitary island in the sea? On top were rough surfaces and jagged peaks.

As a result, this "island" in her dazed eyes slowly lifted from the sea surface, revealing the winding, sturdy, dark body underneath like a towering mountain.

So huge! With her current eyesight, she couldn’t even tell how long this section of the body was. It seemed even Wuzhier Mountain wasn’t as majestic! With just a slight movement, the entire sea region became turbulent, and the waves beneath Changtian’s feet became turbulent, as if the next tsunami was already brewing.

Before this giant beast of unknown length, she and Changtian were as small as ants.

Then, on each side of the "island," an enormous eye opened like a searchlight, shooting out cold and merciless golden light illuminating the two of them.

Words would be powerless to describe the spectacle of this giant beast emerging from water. Fortunately, she was familiar with such a gaze, but displayed on such a massive creature, it felt even more oppressive.

As if sensing her unease, Changtian hugged her tighter, gently saying: "Come, say hello to my True Body."

She immediately widened her eyes a bit more, staring unblinkingly as it got closer and closer... The nearer it got, the more shocking its form became. Then, the Ba Snake came rushing towards them.

A thousand pounds on top? Although she knew with Changtian here, she wouldn’t be harmed, this visually impactful scene still scared her into closing her eyes.

Then, she felt a slight chill on her left wrist, as if something coiled around it.

What was that? She opened her eyes slightly to see a small snake perched on her wrist. The snake was thin and long, circling her wrist once, then biting its own tail, remaining motionless, its body slowly turning a dazzling gold. At first glance, it looked like a beautifully crafted bracelet.

How impressive, a Divine Beast indeed can be big or small, contract or extend! But what does this mean? She asked Changtian with a glance.

"Since you are awake, it no longer needs to guard the Endless Sea Eye." He adjusted her position so she could lean more comfortably in his arms, then soared into the air, "Now that your body is inconvenient, let it stay close to protect you."

With a live snake encircling her hand, especially knowing this was the True Body of the esteemed Ba Snake, it was impossible for her heart not to be uneasy. Luckily, once this little snake bit its tail and disguised itself as a golden bracelet, it didn’t move at all, performing its role diligently. So she could rest assured, relaxing in his embrace, enjoying the princess hug treatment.

Her Divine Soul was weary now, yet her mind was active. When Changtian passed through the Endless Sea Eye, he glanced down at the curiosity overflowing in her eyes and couldn’t help but speak softly, "This is the Endless Sea Eye, one of the six forbidden zones of the Southern Continent. People think it devours life, but in reality, it contains another world. If you can safely pass through these two passages, you will reach the Sea of Life from earlier. That is the essence of the ocean, capable of nurturing all things."
