Chapter 416 – Underwater Mysteries
Chapter 416 – Underwater Mysteries
Xu Chuniang stood on top of a deserted island, her brows slightly furrowed.
This deserted island, not much bigger than a small town, on which the dangerous peaks stand, jagged rocks, looks no surprise.
The location that her soul blood had sensed was nearby, but after probing around for a long time, she never found Cheng Qingjia.
Soul blood’s senses could not be wrong, so where exactly was the problem?
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath, and as she stepped towards the dangerous peak, her divine sense swept over every corner of the island, probing again.
Standing on top of the dangerous peak, not only could she take in the scenery of the entire deserted island, she could also see the sea beyond the deserted island.
This time, however, there was still nothing.
Xu Chuniang took out the only remaining soul blood and showed a hesitant expression.
After many uses, this drop of colorless soul blood grew weaker and weaker, only the size of a grain of rice.
I’m afraid that if it was used one or two more times, it would dissipate completely.
Without the soul blood, she wouldn’t be able to sense Cheng Qingjia’s location and state.
After hesitating for a long time, Xu Chuniang finally put away the rice-sized soul blood. She was certain that the location of her senses was near the deserted island.
As for why she hadn’t found him, perhaps Zhan Luo had used some method to hide him.
The barren island wasn’t big, and a rough sweep of divine sense would be able to see the end of it, so how exactly did Zhan Luo hide him?
It was easy to fool the divine sense of a Jindan real person in a short period of time, but after a long time, there would always be a breakage revealed.
But Xu Chuniang had been hovering here for several hours, and hadn’t found anything strange in this deserted island.
She was about to withdraw her Divine Sense, when she suddenly thought of something and looked down at her feet thoughtfully.
The same is in the deserted island, right now she is standing on the top of the dangerous peak, than the other places on the deserted island is much higher, not at the same height.
Then was it possible that Cheng Qingjia, this time, was in the same situation as her?
Xu Chuniang’s eyes revealed a flash of light, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible.
The fact that there was nothing found on top of this deserted island did not mean that there was nothing in the waters underneath the deserted island.
Cheng Qingjia and Zhan Luo were most likely hiding in the sea below the deserted island.
She jumped into the air, her body smoothly heading downwards, splitting the water into the sea, all the way towards the bottom of the deserted island while submerging, her Divine Sense probed towards the front.
The waters under the island were quiet, even the fish and beasts were pitifully few.
Xu Chuniang continued to go down for an unknown amount of time, when her divine sense suddenly sensed something.
The current below seemed to be different, with a whirlpool the size of a dragon’s eye.
She was about to probe clearly again when the vortex violently increased in size by hundreds of times, erupting into a burst of intense suction that abruptly swallowed all the water in the surrounding waters.
Her heart was shocked, and she hastily withdrew her divine sense and withdrew her body upwards, and in one breath, she disappeared dozens of feet away, and only then did she narrowly avoid the vortex suction force.
The vortex swallowed many seawater in one breath, the surrounding water surging, a while later, the waters returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Chuniang heart slightly doubtful, that whirlpool in the end is what, was swallowed by the seawater and went to?
Her eyes flickered, could it be that this whirlpool is the entrance to a secret realm?
Could it be that Cheng Qingjia and Zhan Luo, who had been searching for a long time, had been swallowed up by this whirlpool?
After hesitating, Xu Chuniang memorized the location of the vortex, avoided it for the time being, and continued to explore other places.
It wasn’t until half a day later, after she had finished exploring the waters underneath the entire island and still found nothing, that she returned to the vortex’s surroundings.
She protected her body with her Cloud Light Pa, and without hesitation, she drew closer to the vortex that had regained the size of a dragon’s eye. The vortex sensed this and suddenly grew hundreds of times larger, like a huge eye of the storm, erupting with powerful suction.
This time, Xu Chuniang did not resist the suction, and was almost instantly sucked into an unknown space.
She quickly sensed that the surrounding aura was subtly different from that of the sea, and that this was indeed a secret realm.
The strange vortex underneath the deserted island was an entrance to the secret realm.
Xu Chuniang looked into the distance, there are mountains and plains in the distance, there are also trees, birds and animals, a glance can not be seen to the end.
It was not easy to find someone in this vast area.
Taking a deep breath, she took out the colorless soul blood the size of a grain of rice, and without hesitation, she performed the Bloodline Traction Technique.
This time, the soul blood quickly moved and pulsed towards the east.
Cheng Qingjia was indeed in this side of the secret realm, only that his condition was even worse, seeming to have run out of gas and could be dispersed at any time!
Xu Chuniang’s brows furrowed, and she was about to put away the soul blood, only to have it soon emanate movement once again.
The Bloodline Traction Technique was actually pulsing once more! This was something unprecedented before.
Could it be that there were two Cheng family members in the east of this secret realm?
Xu Chuniang thought hard and could not answer, did not dare to delay any longer, put away the last bit of soul blood, stepped on the shuttle towards the east and quickly flew away.
At the same time Xu Chuniang performed her bloodline traction technique, a cave deep in the eastern direction.
Zhan Luo, who was meditating, opened her eyes, and a flash of red passed through her eyes.
The corners of her mouth hooked out slightly, and while the expression on her face appeared to be smiling, there was coldness in the bottom of her eyes.
After Zhan Fu and Zhao Hucheng lost track of each other, and even after the soul breath belonging to the two of them on the Sea Walking Order disappeared, she guessed that the two of them had met with misfortune.
Zhao Hucheng has Jindan cultivation, and the two of them have a cloud boat to rely on, just to kill a foundation cultivator, how would they fail miserably and die?
Were they too gullible and didn’t have time to start the formation on top of the cloud boat, or did the other party hide their cultivation and was actually a Jindan cultivator?
The smile on Zhan Luo’s face grew deeper and deeper, after refining Cheng Qingjia’s seven vampires, she was equivalent to possessing half of the Cheng Family’s bloodline.
That was why not long ago, she clearly sensed that the part of the Cheng Family bloodline within her body was being tugged.
The answer was already crying out to be a Cheng Family Jindan cultivator who had followed her all the way here.
The Cheng Family had become more and more despondent over the years, and apart from Cheng Shang Ling, there was only one old ancestor in the middle Jindan stage.
As far as she knew, the old ancestor was already 480 years old, and would die in no more than 20 years.
This was also the reason why the longevity pills she had taken out were able to make Cheng Qingjia willingly join the family.
Cheng Shangling had to keep the Cheng family in check, and would not easily leave the five islands of Nansha, let alone chase them all the way to other continents.
Therefore, the one who was secretly following behind, in all probability, was this Cheng family ancestor who did not have much longevity left.
Zhan Luo’s eyes rose, revealing a faint trace of disdain.
Cultivating to the age of four hundred and eighty, and still not being in the middle stage of Jindan, she would definitely not allow herself to be in such a situation.
Her goal was to surpass Zhan Xuanwei and use a shorter period of time than her to form the Jindan!
Taking a deep breath, Zhan Luo slowly calmed down and continued to refine the three souls that had been hidden by Cheng Qingjia.
