Chapter 377 – Jedi of Water
Chapter 377 – The Jedi of Water
Xu Chuniang was prepared this time, mentioning the pinch of the water avoidance skill, but the situation did not have to be much better before.
Extremely deep waters brought by the heavy pressure is too great, avoiding water decision only lasted less than half a breath, will be completely destroyed.
Xu Chuniang was not surprised, this heavy pressure could even crush a spiritual boundary, let alone just a water-avoidance technique.
She pinched this water-avoiding skill, originally wanted to give Little White and Little Orange, a little buffer time.
Because of the increase in the degree of refinement of the One Elemental Heavy Water, the pressure she felt this time around had subsided a bit compared to the last time, and the speed of her body’s collapse had slowed down a bit.
Xu Chuniang turned her head to check on Little Orange and Little White’s situation, Little Orange had always had thick skin and flesh, but right now it was actually a bit unbearable.
As for Xiaobai, it was even worse, with a large amount of blood seeping out of its body, and even the corners of its eyes and mouth had a trace of bright red.
Stay a little longer, I’m afraid the heavy pressure will damage its internal organs.
Xu Chuniang frowned as she threw Little White back into the small world, and when she was about to catch Little Orange, it shrank back to avoid her hand.
Blood oozed from its fur, but it stubbornly refused to leave.
“I don’t want to go back, being able to bear it, staying here is good for me.”
Xu Chuniang reacted, what Little Orange meant was that it was barely able to withstand the environment here, able to use the heavy pressure to forge its body.
After checking Little Orange’s state, she frowned slightly and reached out to pick it up to swim upwards.
“The pressure here is still too strong for us, find a more suitable place.”
As she continued to move upwards, the water pressure she was subjected to gradually lessened, and Little Orange’s complexion gradually soothed.
Along the way, she would occasionally sense some demonic beasts, all of which were aquatic demonic beasts such as demonic fish, their aura was not weak, and their cultivation level was only no less than the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
There are even some Jindan stage demonic beasts that appear around from time to time.
Xu Chuniang’s divine sense was extremely outward, and once she noticed a Jindan stage demon approaching, she immediately took Little Orange to avoid it.
Fighting under the heavy pressure of the waters on all sides was undoubtedly unfavorable to her.
However, luck did not favor her for long, there was a Jindan stage water snake that followed her after sensing her presence.
It was extremely fast and caught up with her and Little Orange in less than a quarter of an hour.
Because she couldn’t shake it off, Xu Chuniang had to fight with it.
Underwater, these aquatic beasts have an inherent advantage, not to mention the fact that this snake has been in the deep sea for many years, has long been adapted to the surrounding environment, and has an extremely strong sinews and flesh.
Xu Chuniang and Little Orange joined forces, but still couldn’t fight this Jindan stage water snake.
Unusual spells and spiritual weapons couldn’t even break its skin.
Only the Mountain and River Diagram, the chains and the Meteoric Heart Flame, as well as Little Orange’s hand of light blue light curtains that could devour everything, were able to fight it off for a moment or two.
This big snake also sensed the tricky nature of its prey, especially the clear yellow flame that burned its skin.
A humanized doubt appeared in its eyes, it was clear that these two breaths were very weak, but on the other hand, the means they used were very powerful, causing it to be alarmed.
This water snake finally gave up on this hard bone that was difficult to gnaw on, utilizing the momentum of the water to fling its body, it disappeared.
The threat lifted, Xu Chuniang breathed a little sigh of relief, the magic weapon and the Meteoric Heart Flame were certainly very strong, but the amount of Spiritual Qi consumed was equally huge.
If that big snake had stalled a little longer, it would have been her and Little Orange escaping back to the small world.
The sea was not safe in the end, especially since she and Little Orange had very little aura left now, and had endured the heavy pressure of the waters for so long.
After the great serpent left, Xu Chuniang returned to the small world with Little Orange after all. This time, she stayed in the waters for a much longer period of time, but due to the fact that her body’s strength had been boosted, the injuries she received were instead much milder than last time.
After only three days of recuperation, she had completely recuperated from her injuries, and the degree of refinement of the Yi Yuan Heavy Water had once again deepened by a hair.
Three days later, Little Orange was long since alive and well.
It had originally been injured even more severely than Xu Chuniang, but it had recovered after sleeping and feasting on spiritual food and wine.
What surprised Xu Chuniang even more was Little White, which was almost on the verge of injuring its internal organs when it was thrown back into the small world last time, with blood seeping from its mouth and nose.
But after sleeping for three days, Xiao Bai’s injuries have actually recovered by 90%.
Seeing Xu Chuniang’s surprised appearance, the little orange shook his head, a look of her very unseen expression.
Spirit beasts were essentially no different from demonic beasts.
And the physical strength and recovery ability of demonic beasts was already far superior to that of cultivators.
Whereas the cultivator’s Yuan Shen and Divine Sense strength, on the other hand, was much better than the demonic beast.
It and Little White, as exotic beasts among demonic beasts, in terms of qualifications and potential, were even more incomparable to ordinary demonic beasts.
After Xu Chuniang figured it out, she recalled that before, when she brought Little Orange outside the sea again, she had also encountered some powerful demonic beasts in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Since they were able to survive under the heavy pressure of the waters, then Little Orange and Little White might also be able to slowly adapt to the force of this heavy pressure.
Previously, when she had thrown Little Orange and Little White in the small world to free-range them, and only focused on letting them raise their realms, it was really too one-sided.
So when Little White once again insisted on going out with her, Xu Chuniang didn’t refuse, picking up one with one hand and bringing them out.
The place where she came out now was exactly where she had fought with that Jindan stage serpent last time, which had disappeared three days ago, leaving only depth and silence around her.
After feeling the pressure for a while, Little Orange revealed a trace of satisfaction, it felt that it could withstand this level of pressure.
Xu Chuniang felt the intensity of the water pressure around her, it was about half as small as the first place she stayed.
With her level of body forging, staying longer wouldn’t put her life in danger.
She just didn’t know if Xiao Bai would be able to withstand it.
She looked over towards Little White with this thought, but she saw that under the heavy pressure, Little White’s cultivation had actually broken through!
Xiao Bai’s cultivation had stayed at the second level of Foundation Establishment for several years, so it was reasonable to say that it would take a few more months, or even half a year, to break through.
But under the heavy pressure of the waters, Xiao Bai resisted with all his might, and instead broke through his cultivation ahead of schedule.
Spiritual qi continuously surged towards Little White, and the aura on its body strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This process lasted for a full hour before finally stopping, and Little White’s cultivation level stabilized at the third level of Foundation Establishment.
It was happy for a while, and then continued to fight against the heavy pressure around it, looking like it had adapted well.
Xu Chuniang saw that Xiao Bai was unharmed, and then used her divine sense to probe a bit, confirming that the commotion caused by Xiao Bai had not attracted any other demonic beasts, and only then did she put her heart down and began to perceive the heavy pressure around her.
Compared to earlier, her body strength had increased, and the heavy pressure of the waters had been reduced by a factor of two.
The pressure she felt was less than a third of the initial pressure.
This level of heavy pressure was just right for practicing the Five Elements Body Forging Technique.
