Chapter 39

After descending more than nineteen thousand meters, the trio stopped.

This depth was making Xiao Yueyin feel uncomfortable. Although it was still manageable now, the amount of True Essence she was using would eventually drain her by the end of the day.

Although the ocean contains Heaven and Earth Essence, the water and pressure make it too hard to properly absorb it so Xiao Yueyin was using more True Essence than she was absorbing.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Ji Xian and Xia Lihua had a thin layer of Essence enveloping their bodies that were unnoticeable to the naked eye.

This thin layer was released by the two of them instinctively as the first line of defense as no cultivator would ever leave their body unprotected unless they are either confident or foolish.

The duo remained unaffected by the pressure and their expression was still relaxed.

In front of them was nothing but darkness, to normal people, even if they put their hand out in front of them, it still wouldnt be visible. Xiao Yueyin was unable to use her spiritual sense to observe her surroundings as it was constantly being disrupted so she was forced to use an alternate method.

She channeled her True Essence to her eyes causing them to glow bright purple in the darkness.

After a few seconds, a frown appeared on her face. She was unable to discover anything even though she was certain that the source of the spatial fluctuation was in front of them. Only sea beasts and aquatic creatures can be seen swimming away and avoiding the trio.

Ji Xian and Xia Lihua's strong spiritual senses moved through the water with no resistance, slicing through the pressure like a hot knife on butter and allowing the two of them to inspect what was in front of them.

Xia Lihua quickly scanned the area before immediately retracting her spiritual sense and wordlessly wait for Ji Xian. It wasnt that she was unable to find anything, but what was in front of them was a formation. One that she has never seen before, but she was confident that Ji Xian would know.

Unfortunately, Ji Xian was just as clueless as she was.

A sharp light instantly appeared in Xia Lihuas eyes as she turned to face Xiao Yueyin. Her face was neutral but Xiao Yueyin inwardly shuddered upon seeing her calm demeanor.

Xiao Yueyin silently swallowed her saliva and slightly bowed her head like an obedient child in front of a parent.

If anyone were to see Xiao Yueyin at this moment, they would question if this was still the high and mighty Dragon Saintess that they knew.

The two no longer spoke to each other. Xiao Yueyin knew her limits and decided she shouldnt push it after finally getting a somewhat positive response from Xia Lihua.

Ten minutes have passed since Ji Xian closed his eyes. After he meticulously examined the single complex rune, he immediately started the simulations in his mind. Using the knowledge he currently has on formations, he tried to find a solution to the foreign formation.

After what felt like a million trials and errors, Ji Xian inwardly shook his head.

The problem here is my knowledge of this single rune is lacking. Its not created from True Essence or Astral Essence, but another form of energy, one that is very corrosive.

The level of corrosiveness couldnt burn through Ji Xians True Essence, so he didnt care too much for it, but its uniqueness interest him.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, A different cultivation system..?

This formation cant be from this world and it may not even be from the Upper World no I cant rule that out. I can destroy this formation using force but thats no fun.

This rune is like a giant maze where all the paths are blocked, I need to rearrange it in a way so that wont be the case.

A glint flashed in Ji Xians eyes, I can recreate this rune
