Chapter 1402: The Unexpected Difficulty

The escape pod could withstand the lower water pressure when it was buried in the sand, but it had begun to creak. It was meant to be launched to the surface of the water. Hence, it could only sustain itself for a limited amount of time under the deep seabed.

Tang Wulin knew that he could not remain inside any longer. He immediately made up his mind to work on an idea which he had yet to inform the captain.

He was isolated from the external world while he was in the escape pod. His spiritual power could not be applied. Neither could he perceive the water element.

Tang Wulin pushed the handle to open the hatch while turning on the protection equipment simultaneously.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath to draw in the oxygen into his lungs.

It was not easy to open the escape pod as the strong water pressure outside compressed the pod including the hatch.

A golden radiance flashed once in Tang Wulin’s eyes. The Golden Dragon King’s scales emerged on his skin. He exerted tremendous strength with his arms to push open the hatch by force.

All at once, a huge puff of sand blew onto his face and enshrouded him within a split second. Apart from the water element, there was also the dense earth element which lashed his body soon after.

Tang Wulin felt as if his body was being crushed by a heavy mecha. The suffocating and oppressing sensation struck him in quick succession.

If it had been an ordinary person in his place, the person would have died at this very moment. Fortunately, he was no ordinary person.

The Dragon Core inside his body pulsated. With the urge from the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique, his soul power gushed outward to push Tang Wulin out of the sand.

As he burst out from the sand, the water pressure got increasingly stronger. Tang Wulin felt his body being shackled.

It was all dark in the surroundings without the slightest hint of any radiance. It felt as if he had entered a pitch black world. At the same time, there was also a feeling of returning to his mother’s womb.

The immense water pressure squeezed Tang Wulin’s body from all directions such that he had no choice but to unleash his soul power to counter the pressure. His powerful Golden Dragon King Bloodline enabled him to move freely despite his body being under tremendous water pressure.

Tang Wulin suddenly felt intrigued at present. It dawned upon him that those gravity chamber rooms seemed pointless at the moment. The water pressure on the seabed far exceeded that of a gravity chamber! It seemed to be a rather good location for cultivation.

It was difficult to move even a step in the deep sea but the dense element fluctuation here was absolutely not found in the world outside. Moreover, the more one engaged with the water pressure, the better its effect was at triggering one’s potential.

‘Perhaps, I’ll cultivate here in the future when I’m free.’

The idea flashed past his mind. Tang Wulin unleashed his spiritual power to communicate with the water element in his surroundings.

The water element was supposed to be gentle, but he felt that it was completely different when the water element was denser in the deep sea. In addition to the initial gentleness, there was some overbearingness to it.

Tang Wulin would need to communicate with the surrounding water element first. Otherwise, his spiritual power could not possibly travel far due to the strong water pressure.

He unleashed his spiritual power. Although his cultivation base had already achieved the Spirit Domain realm, he could still feel his spiritual power being oppressed intensely when he unleashed it. The dense water element in the deep sea produced a repulsive effect on him.

‘Are you rejecting me?’

Finally, the soul rings were unleashed from Tang Wulin’s body to illuminate the maritime space in his surroundings.

There was no obvious radiance emitting from his black soul rings. Hence, one could not see the black soul rings vividly in the deep sea. The most dazzling and conspicuous soul ring was still his green-gold Nature Child’s soul ring and also the orange-gold soul ring provided by the Damask Tulip.

The Nature Child’s soul ring glowed brightly and unleashed a gentle natural aura to its surroundings soon after.

As expected, Tang Wulin immediately felt the surrounding water element exerting less pressure on him as soon as his Nature Child’s aura was unleashed.

Overjoyed, he hastily unleashed his spiritual power into the surroundings to begin his exploration.

A short while later, he discovered that his senses were not enhanced much despite the repulsion of the surrounding water element. His spiritual power only extended a thousand meters into the distance and receded rapidly beyond that. It was a stark difference as compared to his capacity on land. What was the purpose of him exploring for just a thousand meters? Besides, he had yet to explore the seabed at present. He would have severe restrictions if he were to carry out the exploration.

Had the Nature Child malfunctioned in the deep sea? His affinity to the elements in the deep sea was definitely inferior as compared to when he was on land.

He had gotten used to the plane’s blessing. Yet, for some unknown reason, the plane’s blessing bestowed upon him did not have any influence in the deep sea.

How did this happen?

If this were the case, his exploration would not succeed let alone locate a suitable explosion-trigger point.

This issue was a little troubling!

Tang Wulin continued to urge his spiritual power in an attempt to guide the Nature Child’s power a step higher. He wanted to elevate his affinity with the surrounding water element as he continued to summon the Damask Tulip in his heart simultaneously. The Damask Tulip had extensive knowledge about nature’s power.

“Your Excellency, there’s nothing I can do either.” The Damask Tulip sensed Tang Wulin’s situation at present.

“It seems like my Nature Child has malfunctioned in the seabed?” asked a bewildered Tang Wulin.

The Damask Tulip spoke, “That seems to be the case, but I’m not sure of the reason behind it. It is said that you’re a man bestowed with the plane’s blessing in addition to the power of the Nature Child. The sea shouldn’t be rejecting your presence. It’s actually the most powerful form of nature in the entire plane and even the entire Star Luo Planet. The sea covers over seventy percent of the whole planet’s surface area. It’s a kingdom of its own. Your Nature Child is more effective at mobilizing live forms. However, there are sea soul beasts in the sea and plants growing in the shallower parts of the sea. I can’t figure out the specific situation as to the seabed for it’s also my first time here. By right, you should be able to communicate with the water element with the plane’s blessing! Unless, the water element in the deep sea refuses to abide by the lord of the plane.”

Tang Wulin asked puzzled, “Is there such a possibility?”

The Damask Tulip replied, “Yes. Have you forgotten? Your very first ancestor, the founder of the Tang Sect, was the one who discovered our Icefire Polarized Eyes back in the beginning, twenty thousand years ago. Didn’t he successfully ascend to the Sea God’s Godhood in the end? I suspect the reason the sea remains unaffected by the lord of the plane’s influence may be related to the Sea God. After all, the planar power may not necessarily rival a true God’s. Perhaps, the Sea God suppressed the sea back in the beginning such that the lord of the plane’s power couldn’t permeate this place. It’s the only explanation I have at the moment.”

If someone could see Tang Wulin’s expression at present, then, he or she would notice an array of rich expressions on his face, for sure.

The Sea God Tang San? Was that not his biological father?

Old Tang, the Millennium Cloud, together with the sequence of events had proven that everything he saw in his spiritual world back in the beginning was true. If that were the case, he was not only the Nature Child but also the Sea God Child!

If his status as the Nature Child was not effective here, perhaps his status as the Sea God Child might be useful then?

How was he supposed to mobilize the power bestowed on him by his biological father so as to receive the sea’s approval?

He sank his spirit into his sea of spirit subconsciously. He remembered distinctly that his father left behind something in his sea of spirit before his father departed.

Tang Wulin could not tell the specific details of the object. However, he was sure that the object would be extremely useful to him.

His sea of spirit was a dazzling stretch of golden color. Tang Wulin began searching silently and soon discovered that there was a ball of radiance suspended above his sea of spirit.
