In Douluo, Wuhun holds the Tianping

Most of Li Xuan's fourth-tier puppets have been deployed to search for and mine various mineral veins on the seabed.

Li Xuan originally thought he wouldn't need to use the fourth-tier puppet for a while, but he didn't expect that he would have to use it now.

Now Li Xuan only had more than thirty fourth-tier puppets left. Without thinking, he took out twenty of them and threw them into the abyss, and began to pick medicinal herbs from the stone wall.

After arranging the puppets, Li Xuan thought about going down into the Abyss himself to try it out. After all, Li Xuan also wanted to experience the powerful sea pressure that even Limit Douluo hesitated to enter.

Li Xuan piloted the Swordfish and entered the abyss through the gap.

Moreover, this time the destination was at the deepest part of the abyss, so Li Xuan had no choice but to go down there himself to check the situation.

As the Swordfish continued to swim downstream, the area around Li Xuan grew increasingly dark, as the gaps were too small for sunlight to penetrate into the abyss.

But it is precisely because this place is dark that it is called the Abyss.

Li Xuan quickly activated the illumination soul tool on the Swordfish. As soon as the soul tool was lit, the entire abyss was as bright as day.

However, it can only illuminate a depth of 200 meters in the abyss. Beyond that, it becomes unclear, as the abyss is different from the seabed and has some unique characteristics.

“This abyss must be at least one or two thousand meters deep! Let’s keep going down.” Li Xuan stroked his chin and then controlled the Swordfish to continue its descent.

Just as he was diving 300 meters down, Li Xuan suddenly felt a difficulty breathing. His whole body felt as if it were being squeezed by a huge pressure, a feeling that was basically the same as suffocation.

The moment Li Xuan realized what was happening, he immediately steered the Swordfish upstream.

After leaving the area of ​​the abyss, Li Xuan returned to normal, and the feeling of suffocation gradually disappeared.

"Damn, this isn't normal. I can't even withstand the water pressure from just 300 meters? There's obviously something wrong here, but I don't know why." Li Xuan rubbed his throbbing head and muttered to himself as he looked at the sea abyss not far away.

However, Li Xuan did not take these things to heart.

After all, I'm there to complete a mission. As long as the mission is accomplished, whether I go down or not has no impact whatsoever.

Although Li Xuan couldn't personally enter the depths of the abyss, his puppet could.

These puppets are solid and have gravity arrays on them, so they can dive to the seabed without any problem. When the puppets get close to the flames, Li Xuan uses the Burning Heart Seal to put away the flames, and that completes the mission.

Li Xuan rested for a while and felt the suffocating sensation completely disappear, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Li Xuan took out a fourth-tier exploration puppet from the small cave and threw it into the sea abyss.

The probe immediately used a gravity array, and its body began to slowly swim downwards.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and, through the small cave, linked his spiritual power to the probing puppet.

Li Xuan could clearly feel that the resistance as the probe went down was getting greater and greater.

However, fourth-tier puppets have a lot of stored energy, so they have to be able to withstand the consumption.

Soon, the puppet entered a depth of one thousand meters in the abyss. There were no living creatures on the surrounding stone walls, and the surroundings were pitch black.

There wasn't even a trace of any living creature on the stone wall.

There were no signs of blue flames around, which meant they had to continue diving deeper.

Without any hesitation or appreciation of the scenery, Li Xuan continued diving downwards, striving to reach the bottom of the abyss as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, the exploration puppet arrived at the depths of the abyss.

The scene before him stunned Li Xuan for a moment.

A blue flame lotus grows in the deepest part of the abyss, where the bottom is gray rock.

Li Xuan had originally thought there would be something special at the bottom of the abyss, but the gray stones really made him feel somewhat disappointed.

"Forget it, it's best if nothing happened," Li Xuan sighed, speaking with great ease.

Next, all you need to do is put away this fire lotus and you can report back to Poseidon.

Next, Li Xuan focused his gaze on the blue flame lotus in front of him.

"Is this the Fire of the Heart of the Sea?" Li Xuan stared at the flames before him, his eyes wide with disbelief.

The Fire of the Heart of the Sea is a special kind of flame, appearing only a handful of times in the world. It exists only in places with the greatest sea pressure, usually the territory of spirit beasts, and cultivators simply cannot venture deep into these places.

Not to mention taking the Fire of the Heart of the Sea out of the country.

As an alchemist, Li Xuan needed to recognize various flames, so he immediately identified what kind of flame it was.

The Sea Heart Fire is also a top-tier alchemical flame. It is said that some water-based alchemy techniques require the Sea Heart Fire as a refining method.

"What a pity, this is something Poseidon needed. Otherwise, it would have been a great flame for alchemy." Li Xuan muttered, stroking his chin.

Li Xuan had a considerable number of flames in his hands, enough for his needs, so these flames were merely icing on the cake, and Li Xuan didn't particularly crave the Heart of the Sea Flame.

Sitting inside the Swordfish, Li Xuan began to mobilize the soul power within his body, intending to use the Burning Heart Array to collect the Sea Heart Fire and bring it back.

But at that moment, Li Xuan felt the internal temperature of the fourth-order exploration puppet in the abyss suddenly rise, as if there were flames inside.

The next second, the puppet spontaneously combusted right under Li Xuan's gaze!
Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan's spiritual energy returned to his body.

"Holy crap! What's going on?" Li Xuan exclaimed in surprise, muttering incredulously.

This was a puppet made from the Vajra Dragon Blood Tree! It was burned to ashes so easily. It's too bizarre.

Because his spiritual energy returned too hastily, Li Xuan's hand, which was forming a hand seal, suddenly trembled, and the Burning Heart Seal he had just condensed turned into soul power and dissipated into the air.

Li Xuan waved his hand, dispersing the surrounding fire-attribute soul power, then stroked his chin and began to think.

Li Xuan hadn't sensed any fire-attribute soul power when the puppet spontaneously combusted.

The puppet was clearly at least tens of meters away from the Heart of the Sea Fire, and the Heart of the Sea Fire would not have caused the puppet to spontaneously combust.

This is amazing.

Li Xuan touched his brow and pondered for a moment, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment, then, still not believing in such superstitions, took out another puppet and used the Burning Heart Divine Flame to completely envelop its body, preventing it from being invaded by other energies and avoiding another spontaneous combustion.

After all, Li Xuan's fourth-tier puppets are becoming increasingly rare.

Moreover, Li Xuan also wanted to see if the puppet, now empowered by the Burning Heart Divine Flame, would still spontaneously combust. After entering the abyss, the puppet quickly arrived near the Heart of the Sea Flame.

Li Xuan could clearly sense other flames around him trying to erode the Burning Heart Divine Flame and then burn the probing puppet to ashes.

In other words, the Fire of the Heart of the Sea may have developed sentience, which is why it can control the flames and cause the exploration puppet to spontaneously combust.

"Hmph! Although I was the first to absorb the Burning Heart Divine Flame, it doesn't mean it's bad." Li Xuan snorted, then began to condense the Burning Heart Seal, preparing to take it away with the Sea Heart Fire.

As for whether the Sea Heart Fire had developed sentience, Li Xuan didn't care at all.

As Li Xuan made a pinching motion in his hand, a palm-sized cage of flames appeared in his palm a few minutes later.

Li Xuan passed the cage to the Detective Puppet through the small cave, intending to use the Detective Puppet to capture the Heart of the Sea Fire.

As the Burning Heart Seal appeared in the abyss.

The fire in the heart of the sea was automatically attracted by the Burning Heart Seal and entered the cage formed by the Burning Heart Seal.

Half an hour later, all the Sea Heart Fire in the abyss was put into the cage and taken away by Li Xuan.

"This mission looks rather simple. We can retreat now." Li Xuan stroked his chin, looked at the Sea Heart Flame within the Burning Heart Seal, and nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, a spherical object rushed up from the abyss and crashed into the Burning Heart Seal, shattering it and freeing the Sea Heart Fire inside, which returned to its previous position.

The next second, a piece of soul information was transmitted into Li Xuan's mind through the puppet.

Soul information is something that transcends language; it is the direct transmission of what one knows in the form of soul information.

In this way, the recipient of the information can easily understand what the mission of transmitting the soul's message means.

Li Xuan closed his eyes and absorbed some soul information.

A few minutes later, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

"I never imagined that the Sea Heart Fire was actually used to block the sea eye." Li Xuan looked at the Sea Heart Fire in front of him in disbelief.

A sea eye is a channel through which the ocean leaks into the Earth's core. Special materials are needed to withstand the pressure of the ocean in order to prevent seawater from entering the Earth's core.

After all, a large influx of seawater into the Earth's core would cause significant geological changes.

Normally, sea eyes are formed by nature, but this sea eye was not. It was created by a powerful person during a battle.

The Fire of the Heart of the Sea was brought by that powerful figure to suppress the sea eye.

"So, in order to take away the Heart of the Sea Fire, we need something else to replace it and suppress the Sea Eye?" Li Xuan stroked his chin and muttered to himself.

Li Xuan suddenly realized something: the Sea God must know about the Sea Heart Fire, and the reason he sent him here to retrieve it was probably because he wanted the Water God's remains that he possessed.

After all, Li Xuan didn't have anything else suitable to suppress the sea eye.

"That's really something," Li Xuan said irritably.

But the next second, Li Xuan had an idea!
Although the sea god wanted the water god's remains, he had a way to solve this problem. He could use the water god's remains to suppress the sea eye, sealing it forever, so the sea god would have no way to take the water god's remains away.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan sent a message of his soul into the light sphere that had just shattered the Burning Heart Seal. This little guy's spirituality is still very strong.

Li Xuan said he had a way to replace the Heart of the Sea Fire, and that it would be more stable and wouldn't be needed to guard this place.

Li Xuan knew what it was the moment he saw it.

After countless years, all things in the universe will develop intelligence, which is called enlightenment. In addition to enlightenment, there is a special case where a treasure can also give birth to a new consciousness. This newly generated consciousness is born from the treasure, but is different from the treasure that gave birth to it, so it is called a spirit.

And this ball of light is the spirit created by the fire in the heart of the sea.

After its birth, this spirit took it upon itself to guard the eye of the sea, so it remained there until Li Xuan tried to take away the Heart of the Sea Fire.

After a while, the spirit of the Heart of the Sea Fire sent another soul message.

"Little guy, you actually want to inspect the goods." Li Xuan shook his head with a smile, then took out the remains of the Water God, and used the methods in the "Tai Xuan He Shen Jing" to seal and modify the remains of the Water God.

Two hours later, Li Xuan, covered in sweat, put away the flames.

At this point, the remains of the water god had been transformed into a treasure most suitable for suppressing the sea eye, rather than the remains themselves.

Even if this remains were handed over to the Sea God, the Sea God wouldn't know whether the divine essence within the remains still existed.

Li Xuan directly controlled another exploration puppet to carry the remains of the water god into the abyss.

Soon, the remains of the Water God arrived beneath the Heart of the Sea Fire. Li Xuan immediately formed hand seals, expending his spiritual and soul power to seal the remains of the Water God a second time.

This way, the remains of the water god can withstand the pressure of the sea eye.

The reinforced remains of the water god will not be at risk of damage even after hundreds of thousands or millions of years.

The sea spirits, sensing that the remains of the water god had truly withstood the immense pressure of the abyss, began to excitedly hop and jump around on the seabed.

"Thank you!" the Sea Spirit said to Li Xuan again through soul communication.

"Come with me, it's dangerous for you to leave here alone," Li Xuan said to the Sea Spirit.

Such spirits have a very difficult time surviving in the Douluo Continent. Li Xuan was afraid that the Sea Heart Spirit would perish after leaving the Sea Abyss, which is why he extended the invitation.

"Okay." The Sea Spirit hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to leave with Li Xuan.

These spirits, born of heaven and earth, can clearly perceive human emotions. The Sea Spirit sensed that Li Xuan harbored goodwill towards him, which is why it agreed to leave with him.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, then condensed another Burning Heart Seal, took the Sea Heart Fire into the Burning Heart Seal, and then had the Exploration Puppet take the Sea Heart Spirit and the Sea Heart Fire to the bottom of the sea.

With a wave of his hand, Li Xuan sent the Burning Heart Seal and the Sea Heart Elf directly into the space of the Palm Heaven Bottle.

Next, Li Xuan took out a lot of discarded building materials, melted them with Nirvana Fire, and then poured them into the sea eye.

In this way, Li Xuan spent a day and a night sealing off the entire abyss with a mixture of stone and metal!
Even the sea god could not easily remove the remains of the water god from the seabed, as doing so would only cause the sea eye to expand and seawater to flood into the earth's core.

That would be a crisis for the entire Douluo Continent.
