The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 1138 - 612: Endless Sea Eye

Shaking Heaven God, does he really hide her here?

The sea beasts are dragged in against their will, yet they choose to throw themselves into the Sea Eye? If the marine creatures living around here could see, would they think them even more foolish?

At this moment, even Qiu was somewhat wavering: "Are we really going to charge into one of the Six Forbidden Lands, the Endless Sea Eye, just based on such a bold guess? It’s a point of no return!" But he thought again of the tragic scene after Yangming Sect was washed in blood, and his fists clenched tightly, "Bashe Forest and here, aren’t they both Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave? No matter where she’s hiding, I wasn’t planning on returning alive anyway!"

They took several deep breaths, and Qiu took out a palm-sized object from his chest. It’s dark, like some creature’s shell, yet covered with intricate patterns that cause dizziness and breathlessness to anyone who stares too long.

More importantly, as soon as this thing was taken out, the air around them calmed down, even the relentless sea currents beneath them seemed to quell, the water flowing into the Sea Eye slowed down as if paying tribute to this piece of shell.

Jin asked in surprise: "What is this?"

Qiu held the shell tightly in his hand and said: "This is the Xuanwu Turtle Shell refined through rituals! It’s wrapped in the secret scrolls, the Ancient Immortals used it to go in and out of the Endless Sea Eye." He glared at the Forbidden Land below, "Without the protection of this Xuanwu Armor, going down there would just be courting death." He infused Spiritual Power into it, the turtle shell seemed to come alive, even Jin could hear the rhythmic thumping resembling a heartbeat.

Immediately, a faint black light curtain emerged around them, the color resembling the turtle shell, adorned with countless peculiar patterns flowing continuously.

They took two more deep breaths, maneuvered their Magic Artifact beneath, and charged into the Sea Eye!

Together with seawater and countless living creatures, they were swept down at high speed, seeming to enter an endless, deep, hidden channel. Though they resigned to death, facing an uncertain and uncontrollable future, fear inevitably emerged in their hearts.

Qiu tightly grabbed his junior brother’s arm, fearing his separation from the protection of the Xuanwu Turtle Shell. Yet his worry was redundant, for everything swallowed by the Sea Eye was pressed together at this moment! Every second, countless hard or less hard objects collided, ground, against the light curtain formed by the Xuanwu Turtle Shell, producing creaking noises. If the creatures from the sea were here, the sound would be their piercing cries.

Qiu suddenly had a ludicrous thought: This is no Sea Eye, it’s like a throat and stomach pouch connected to a gigantic mouth, all swallowed things now at the stomach pouch are first ground by gastric walls, squeezed into dust before moving on to the next station! Here, even Divine Thought couldn’t reach out, he quickly took out a Luminous Pearl.

Under the pearl’s illumination, they gasped in shock: Indeed, it resembled a giant mortar, incoming seawater and creatures were constantly stirred, ground, and decomposed. They also saw earlier the enormous sea beast sucked in, the unfortunate beast howled once, and was pulverized by this mysterious space’s power, even the blood dissolved into the smallest molecules, vanished without a trace.

Jin shivered in fright, face pallid: "No wonder no one ever survives the Sea Eye, those who come in all turn to powder."

Qiu’s face was also grim, yet retorted: "This shell can protect us from harm, Shaking Heaven God can also come in. It’s one of the Four Great Divine Beasts like Xuanwu."

Jin, however, cried out in alarm. The black light curtain around them seemed unable to endure such high-pressure grinding, trembling precariously. They exchanged a glance, faces ashen.

The power of the Endless Sea Eye is indeed this immense! Xuanwu is the Water God Beast, known for defense, claimed to have the strongest defense under Heaven. If it were here personally, the Endless Sea Eye could do nothing against it. Alas, what they hold is an ancient relic from thousands of years ago, the residual power of Xuanwu worn thin through time. Perhaps when the Immortal last used it to travel the Sea Eye, it was already exhausted, now fighting this Sea Eye’s force again after thousands of years, it’s somewhat inadequate.

Should the protective power of the Xuanwu Turtle Shell weaken further, the black light curtain would "pop" and break like an eggshell, exposing their bodies to the energy of this space, and they might follow the fate of that giant sea beast in less than a moment.

The two were too terrified to breathe heavily, lest they disturb the light curtain around them.

Fortunately, new currents drew them forward, propelling them out of this mortar-like place!

Another long passage, enduring terrible crushing force again. As they suddenly found light in front, the black light curtain disappeared, marking the Xuanwu Turtle Shell’s last bit of efficacy exhausted. They exchanged a glance, realizing this is the adventure’s end, regardless of mission success, they could never leave.

Pushed out from the passage, they found themselves falling vertically. They invoked spells to activate the Magic Artifact, which remained unresponsive.

In this peculiar place, divine skills couldn’t be utilized! They were startled, fearing they would become pulp upon falling, yet as they neared the surface, it wasn’t solid ground, it was another sea! Only this water was extremely pure, in this strange space without sunlight, the water presented perfect transparency from top to bottom, if not for some unknown gentle breeze, the pure black seabed wouldn’t reflect rippling patterns.

"Plop" "Plop" sounds, they fell into the sea.

Meanwhile, miles away, upper floors of the Hidden Flow Hall.

Chang Tian, listening with eyes closed to Elder He, suddenly stirred, and opened his eyes.

Elder He, skilled in reading people’s faces, whispered: "Master, is something amiss?"

Chang Tian replied calmly: "It’s nothing, just two little bugs sneaking in. Continue with your report."

Another pair coming to die? Elder He bowed slightly, continuing his report from earlier. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
