Chapter 1139 - 613: Her Name Is Known Everywhere
----Shui Yun’s Box of Words---
Today’s third watch combined into one Chapter, is it comfortable to read?

This stretch of seawater is similarly boundary-less in sight, but wins in pure transparency. Anything in the water can’t escape the eyesight of the cultivators. So, before Qiu and Jin fell into the sea, they sharply spotted a green plant growing underwater, with roots, mustache, and leaves, very similar to a terrestrial big tree, but its size is incredibly large and when viewed from above, it can even inspire a feeling of grandeur.
By now, they have basically deduced that this body of water should be at the center of the Endless Sea Eye. The power of this Forbidden Land crushes anything that floods in into tiny bits, turning it into the purest nutrients. Mindful like Brother Qiu, who even before falling noticed that only a single drop of liquid seeped from that long corridor.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater and creatures have been compressed, extracted, distilled into such a tiny amount. And how many years have shaped the transparent ocean in which they are soaking? The majesty of nature is truly unimaginable to humans.
Divine Skills couldn’t be utilized, so the two had to overlook the peculiar taste of the seawater, swimming to the surface to gather at one place before heading towards that big tree in the sea. Human cultivators generally excel in Divine Skills, unlike the demons with fewer body cultivators, hence many skills of sliding and running on the water surface cannot be used.
As the saying goes, looking at a mountain tires a horse’s leg. Jin thought the speaker surely had never attempted swimming in the sea. Even with the two cultivators’ physical strength, they were truly exhausted to the point of virtual collapse, barely reaching close to that big tree.
Only now did they notice the tent-like coverage of the expansive, sprawling branches and leaves, almost covering an area of ten acres. Luckily, though they couldn’t use their Divine Skills, their good eyesight remained, after circling the big tree twice, consuming much physical strength again, they indeed found something extraordinary.
This tree has branches and leaves but no flowers or fruit? Brother Qiu searched for the greater part of the day before discovering a faint red fruit deep within a tightly bundled cluster of branches and leaves.
This fruit is nearly human-sized, seemingly light, quivering gently with the water currents, and somewhat translucent.
The two exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes. Because looking from below, with the dim light in the water, they noticed a very blurry figure inside the fruit. Upon closer inspection, it actually resembled a curled-up human!
Indeed, just like a fetus in a mother’s womb, legs curled to the chest, arms hugging the legs.
However, the posture is flawlessly beautiful, though appearing blurred, the long legs tucked up reveal perfect proportions. With her arms wrapping her legs, appearing as if shoulders are delicately formed, and waist like white silk. Unless blind, no one would mistake this for the physique of a baby.
The fruit that encompasses her seems to gently contract with her breathing. Brother Jin calculated that the breathing frequency is about once every fifty breaths, certainly not a normal human’s breathing rate.
It must be her! The two held their breaths for a long time, then exchanged comfortable glances, feeling immense joy.
Ning Xiaoxian was indeed not in the depths of the Bashe Forest, nor in the Hidden Stream’s grand hall, but secretly placed here by Heavenly God Han Tian, using the Forbidden Land’s power to protect her. This must be the "Land of Silence" recorded in the secret scrolls, for since entering until now, they haven’t seen a fourth living creature. The seawater surrounding them indeed has an odd scent, quite pungent.
She truly has no power to resist now, perfect, perfect. Brother Qiu drew his long sword and quickly swam over. The luminous sword body flashed a streak of light in the dim water waves.
Kill her, and the Yangming Sect’s great revenge will be achieved!
Kill her, and the chaotic situation on the entire Southern Continent will be calmed!
Three hundred zhang, two hundred zhang... he was getting closer and closer.
The woman within the fruit still curled up, seemingly in the sweetest dream, oblivious to the impending danger.
He gripped the sword in his hand firmly, just waiting to decapitate her with one strike, his mission would be perfectly completed!
Unfortunately, the world rarely goes as planned. Although he was already so close, the once calm seawater suddenly violently surged, seemingly forming a vortex underneath, and the immense force of the water waves churned and almost dragged them all down.
