Free Web NovelChapter 1935: Chapter 1931: The Secret of the Sea of Death
At this moment, in a peculiar space, Li Zhaojun and Min Shang are still continuing their cultivation, determined to break through the defenses and reunite with Ye Fan.
However, the time in this space has created a rift between inside and outside, leaving them unaware of how much time has passed outside. After an extended period of cultivation, they’re ready to launch the final assault on the space’s defenses.
"Sister Shang, we’ve broken through space constraints once before. I believe if we can break out from here, we can reunite with Ye Fan. Trust me, combine your strength with mine, we’ll leave here together and find Ye Fan!"
Li Zhaojun provided great encouragement to Min Shang, but Min Shang was not entirely convinced by Li Zhaojun’s words. Min Shang said, "Sister, what if we leave here and face another defense outside? We once thought that breaking out of that cage would let us reunite with Fan, but now..."
"You must trust me, sister, only then can we truly become one," Li Zhaojun said. "Just give your heart to me, if we can leave here, we must be able to go back!"
"Okay." Min Shang had no choice but to fully trust Li Zhaojun. The two women launched their final attack on the spatial defenses, and their power had significantly increased.
Through cultivation, their elemental powers fused together, forming a strong and mysterious force under this fusion. Much like Ye Fan’s Pure Yang spiritual energy can create strong powers, their Pure Yin spiritual energy can also form high-level cultivation, instantly coalescing and striking out, rushing towards the space’s defense barriers.
The powerful force formed in an instant disturbed the defensive barriers. They continued attacking, and a dazzling white light surrounded the two women, signifying the mysterious unknown force.
"Booming..."
The ground shook continuously, with non-stop assaults. Li Zhaojun, having a Pure Yin constitution, faced little difficulty in cultivation, and her spiritual energy was abundant. On the other hand, Min Shang appeared exhausted towards the end, finding it hard to withstand such relentless attacks on the space’s barriers.
"Sister, I feel I can’t hold on any longer," Min Shang said.
"We must strive, we’re close to victory," Li Zhaojun encouraged.
The two continued their attacks for about a day or two, and finally, Min Shang’s last bit of energy was about to be depleted. Finally, the powerful impact from their force broke through the space’s barriers.
"Hurry up and leave here, sister, we must leave now, this gap will soon seal up again," Li Zhaojun couldn’t afford to rejoice; she herself was unsure if another layer of defense awaited outside this barrier. Only after leaving the barrier would she have the leisure to look around.
Min Shang couldn’t control her strength now, feeling herself being pulled by Li Zhaojun. They slipped through the small gap in the space’s defenses, unknown of what lay on the other side.
...
...
In the secret realm of Pan Gu, Ye Fan was still exploring the Sea of Death.
He felt many secrets originated from here, including Li Zhaojun’s disappearance, as well as Su Nu, Ling, and Shen Yan’s disappearance. He didn’t know what secrets were hidden in the Sea of Death. Previously, when he ventured down, he found the entrance to the second-level secret realm, but was unaware of other spaces and powers.
Xi He didn’t accompany him; instead, it was Sang Yuan, who also didn’t know what secrets lay behind this.
Sang Yuan, after all, was among the least of the ancient cultivators in terms of cultivation level, arguably the lowest among them. Despite that, she was one of the surviving ancient cultivators, having lived in the Pan Gu secret realm for tens of thousands of years, thus possessed more insight into it.
"Young sir, searching for secrets in the Sea of Death could be very difficult. Over tens of thousands of years, many cultivators tried entering it, but unfortunately, nearly all failed to return. If young sir does find any secrets inside, it will likely only be remnants of minor secrets, as the Sea of Death harbors no great secrets to uncover!"
To Sang Yuan, the Sea of Death was terrifying, yet its internal secrets had already been thoroughly excavated, leaving Ye Fan unlikely to discover much more.
Ye Fan said, "Can my cultivation level be compared with those average cultivators? Previously, I’ve already found secrets from the second-level secret realm within. Besides it, there should be some mysterious forces yet unrevealed."
"Since young sir speaks this way, I have no objections. But how do you plan to search, young sir? You’ve searched this place many times, and it seems there are no other secrets to find," Sang Yuan said.
Ye Fan surveyed the churning waters of the Sea of Death, saying, "I’ll personally venture down, and if I find no results, so be it. This is my best opportunity, and if you aren’t assisting, then regard what I mentioned earlier as unsaid. Wait for me on the shore."
After stating his intent, Ye Fan directly entered the depths of the Sea of Death, while Sang Yuan wished to follow, but realized that Ye Fan no longer required her assistance, thus chose to obediently wait on the shore.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan entered the deepest part of the waters. It was previously a region of immense pressure, measuring several thousands or tens of thousands of palace deep. In the deepest part of the Sea of Death, he conducted several rounds of exploration over roughly an hour, yet perceived no anomalies.
"Could it be that I’m overthinking?" Ye Fan felt puzzled, believing it improbable for the Sea of Death to have left nothing behind.
At that moment, he seemed to sense a very tiny force beckoning him, subtly attracting him. Were it not for regaining his elemental powers after once sealing them, his cultivation before might not have discerned such forces. However, with renewed elemental energy, his sensitivity to such forces was keen.
"What is it? Could there be another crystal beyond the six crystals, a seventh one?" With curiosity, Ye Fan rushed towards that force, yet before he reached it, the force vanished.
Seemingly a force out foraging, upon sensing danger, it withdrew its energy completely, leaving Ye Fan unable to probe further.
