The seawater was automatically repelled ten feet away. Chu Feng was full of praise in his heart for this novel experience.
Ji Rui’s Water Repelling Pearl is really a good thing, but where did she get this treasure from?
As if reading his mind, Ji Rui actually took the initiative to explain.
“The Water Repelling Pearl is considered a great treasure of our Dual Polarity Sect. Back when my father traveled around in search of the path to becoming a Martial Emperor, by some strange chance, he encountered a giant python that was transforming into a dragon.”
“If it were any other day, my father would definitely not be its match but luckily that day, the giant python was undergoing its thunder tribulation to advance to the next level… After it died, there was this Water Repelling Pearl in its body and my father brought it back to the Dual Polarity Sect.”
In that case, the Water Repelling Pearl could be considered an essence crystal of a giant python of the Martial Sage realm?
His old father-in-law was really lucky to be able to pick up a dragon pearl during a random trip.
However, this giant python had really bad luck. After all, for a demonic beast to cultivate into an advanced being, apart from putting in a lot of hard work in cultivating, it also needed many favorable opportunities. This python would have needed at least ten thousand years to transform into a dragon.
If it stopped at that point and no longer thought about improving its cultivation, its defense mechanism and cultivation alone would be enough for it to live for tens of thousands of years in this world.
Yet, the python had already transformed into a being with consciousness. Just like how martial cultivators pursued advancement to become gods, it was also unwilling to accept the status quo. The endless desire in its heart urged it to shed its skin and transform into a dragon.
However, the python had then failed at this most critical step.
The thunder tribulation descended from the sky and the lightning struck the python’s body and burned it into ashes. Its cultivation dissipated…
If it could have passed the tribulation, not only would it be able to reach the Martial Emperor realm, but it could even cultivate into a human form. Its lifespan would also increase to 200,000 years. Unfortunately…
The light emitted by the Water Repelling Pearl in his hand served as a warning that its original owner had once been powerful in this world, but only left behind an essence crystal in the end.
Ji Rui kept diving deeper with Chu Feng. She was also using the weak light from the Water Repelling Pearl to carefully investigate the situation at the bottom of the sea.
At the depth of 10,000 meters below the sea, there was a dark crack that spanned hundreds of miles. At a glance, it was like falling into an abyss and felt extremely terrifying.
It was as if a whole block of obsidian had been split in the middle. The sides were very smooth and the depth of the ravine seemed endless.
Even after so many years, no plants grew in this ravine and no sea fish swam in this part of the sea.
Chu Feng’s heart trembled. How strong were the cultivations of the warriors who had the fight?
The destructive power was several times more terrifying than that of Ji Zheng, who had advanced to the Martial Emperor realm. Even at that time, his father-in-law had not displayed such shocking strength!
At this moment, even Ji Rui, who was much more powerful than him, had fallen into a silence while facing the ravine.
Chu Feng forced a smile and asked, “With such powerful ability, I would think this person must have the cultivation of a first-stage Martial Emperor?”
Even if the place was an extremely dangerous one, Ji Rui would still bring him down with her.
Chu Feng felt a little depressed.
“I won’t know until I go down and take a look.”
Ji Rui said lightly and quickly continued diving with Chu Feng.
After falling into the ravine, Chu Feng touched the smooth stone wall with his hands.
“And what is this?”
He noticed a large word on the left-hand side, but its size obviously paled in comparison to the size of the ravine.

Ji Rui quickly retreated away from the stone wall with Chu Feng until the two of them could finally see all the words clearly.
“Underworld Road.”
These words seemed to have fused with the stone wall, as if they were formed naturally. Every stroke was incomparably harsh and sharp which puzzled him.
After staring at it for too long, his chest actually felt stuffy.
It’s just three carved words, but there’s so much power in them. I’m now at the fourth-stage Innate realm! How strong is the guy who can carve words on this stone wall?
Chu Feng felt very amazed. Ji Rui looked steadfastly at the stone wall for a moment before suddenly saying to him, “It’s time. Let’s go.”
For the first time, her eyes glowed with interest.
Chu Feng was pulled down rapidly by her at a speed that was more than three times faster than before. If they moved any faster, the Water Repelling Pearl would not be able to push away the surrounding seawater in time and their clothes would inevitably get wet…
The deeper he dived, the more suffocating the sea pressure became. Fortunately, he already had some cultivation now and was not an ordinary person like before. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to withstand it and would be looked down upon by Ji Rui.
However, the light of the Water Repelling Pearl was also slowly weakening as they dived deeper.
The seawater had already closed in on the two of them. It seemed to have sensed the two uninvited guests and wanted to devour them with its great pressure and waves.
In the end, the two of them had to stick close to each other to avoid being swallowed up at the bottom of the sea. They were so close that he could even smell the cold plum fragrance emanating from Ji Rui.
Chu Feng was a normal man after all. After being in close contact with her for a long time, he could not help having some lustful thoughts.
There was a bottomless abyss under his feet though. He looked at the oblivious Ji Rui again. If he made this woman angry, she would definitely throw him down.
Chu Feng could only chant in his heart.
Emptiness is form, form is emptiness.
Emptiness is form, form is emptiness….
Emptiness is form…
He squeezed his eyes shut and managed to shake off his trashy jumbled thoughts.
In the cabin on the ship, Yan Bang held on to Weidai He and offered a bead to her.
Weidai He was surprised when she saw the scene inside the bead. “They’ve already gone down? I didn’t expect them to be so anxious.”
The bead in her hand clearly showed the two of them images of what was happening at the seabed.
Yan Bang nodded and said, “It’s really as you said. They’re also here to look for that ‘thing’. But how did you guess?”
He looked at the bead and then at the fair-skinned woman who was meditating with her legs crossed and looked puzzled.
Weidai He just smiled at him brightly. She looked as noble as a fairy, but her eyes were dark and unfathomable.

“It’s very simple. The sect has long noticed their movements. Moreover, Ji Rui is a Martial Sage and different from ordinary people. Since she’s willing to travel thousands of miles to get here, there must be something I want here.”
A determined smile appeared on her lips as she continued, “You had also asked me before about the mission that brought the Weidai Sect people to the outside world. I can tell you today that they’re like me, we’re looking for the same thing.”
Yan Bang’s expression also became serious.
Deeply curious, he asked, “What exactly is the thing that interests all of you so much?”
“It’s not a ‘thing’, it’s actually just an aura. It’s also an opportunity that all cultivating warriors dream of. Only by encountering it can one be qualified to step into the Martial Emperor realm.”
