"With it, you can breathe freely underwater, unaffected by water pressure."

Su He and Qing Xin were overjoyed and quickly took the crystal, examining it carefully.

The crystal is crystal clear and emits a soft light, as if it contains some kind of magical power.

"Lord Shui Ling, this...this is so incredibly kind of you!"

Su He said excitedly.

Shui Ling smiled slightly, her gaze deep.

"This is what you deserve, and it is also what you need to explore the Heavenly Weeping Lake next."

"Remember, there is a hidden world at the bottom of Tianqi Lake. Be careful and do not easily believe everything you see."

Su He and Qing Xin nodded solemnly and carefully put the crystal away.

"Lord Shuiling, let's set off now!"

Shui Ling nodded and watched them walk towards the lake.

"Go forth, brave young people, for the bottom of the Weeping Lake awaits your arrival."

"Believe in yourselves, believe in each other, and you will find the answer."

They took a deep breath, held hands, and jumped into the Lake of Heavenly Tears together.

The lake water swallowed them instantly, but with the help of the Weeping Crystal, they did not feel any discomfort.

Instead, an unprecedented lightness and freedom filled their entire bodies.

"Suhe, this feeling... is truly amazing!"

Qingxin said excitedly, her voice sounding somewhat distorted in the water.

Su He nodded, equally immersed in this peculiar experience.

They began exploring the bottom of the lake, searching for clues to the Heavenly Dragon Scripture.

Just as Shui Ling had said, there was indeed a hidden paradise at the bottom of Tianqi Lake.

Strange aquatic creatures swam around them, some as clear as crystal, others colorful and exceptionally beautiful.

"Suhe, look, that's...that's a crystal fish!"

Qingxin pointed with delight to a group of crystal-clear fish.

Su He nodded, equally captivated by the beautiful scenery.

They continued swimming forward, stopping from time to time to admire the wondrous scenery of the underwater world.

Suddenly, a group of strange creatures appeared before them.

They are slender and transparent, as if they were carved from crystal.

But what is most striking are the horns on their heads, which emit a soft glow.

"Suhe, what...what is that?"

Qingxin asked in surprise.

Su He stared intently at the screen, then suddenly realized something.

"This... could this be the legendary Weeping Beast?"

"It is said that they are the guardians of the Lake of Heavenly Tears, possessing the ability to sense sorrow."

The Weeping Beasts seemed to have spotted them too and began to swim towards them.

But they were not hostile.

"It seems they are not the enemy."

Su He breathed a sigh of relief and waved to the Weeping Beast.

The Weeping Beasts circled around them joyfully, emitting a peculiar cry.

It was as if it were welcoming their arrival, or as if it were telling them something.

"Suhe, listen, it sounds like they're saying something!"

Qingxin closed her eyes and listened attentively.

Su He also held his breath, trying to catch the sound of the Weeping Beast.

Gradually, a vague idea appeared in their minds.

"To the north, northwards..."

"North, to the north, there, there is..."

But before they could discern the details, the Weeping Beasts suddenly scattered and swam towards the depths of the lake.

It was as if it was guiding them toward some unknown direction.

"Suhe, shall we... shall we follow them and see?"

Qingxin asked tentatively.

"Let's go see what's up to the north!"

They quickened their pace and headed in the direction the Weeping Beast had gone.

Along the way, strange aquatic creatures kept appearing before their eyes, leaving them dazzled.

But gradually, they discovered that their surroundings were becoming strange.

The lake water was no longer so clear; instead, it became murky and gloomy.

An unsettling atmosphere permeated the surroundings, as if some danger was quietly approaching.

"Su He, I...I feel like something's not right..."

Qingxin said nervously, her hand unconsciously tightening its grip on Suhe's hand.

Su He nodded, also feeling that ominous premonition.

He gripped the Tai Xuan Sword tightly in his hand, scanning his surroundings warily.

Suddenly, a group of strange creatures emerged from the darkness at the bottom of the lake and attacked them.

These creatures resemble octopuses, but are enormous, reaching lengths of several meters.

They were entirely black, covered with eerie patterns, and exuded an evil aura.

"Watch out! These... these are the sources of the emotions manipulating the lake!"

Su He shouted and charged forward, sword in hand.

His swordsmanship was sharp and swift, the sword light flashing like lightning, instantly slicing an octopus in two.

But more octopuses were swarming in from all directions, surrounding them completely.

Qingxin also drew her longsword and fought alongside Suhe.

Her swordsmanship was agile and delicate, like an elegant dance, yet it was also extremely lethal.

But gradually, they realized that these octopuses did not seem to be attacking them in a purely illicit manner.

Instead, it is releasing some kind of strange energy that is interfering with their emotions.

"Suhe, I don't feel well."

Su He also felt dizzy, but he endured the discomfort and continued fighting.

He channeled his inner energy, releasing bursts of sword energy that forced the octopuses back.

But the octopuses seemed to have come prepared; their tentacles shimmered with an eerie light, which actually neutralized the sword energy attack.

Qingxin's situation seems to be even worse.

Her face grew paler and paler, and her eyes began to glaze over.

It was as if I was trapped in some sad memory, unable to pull myself out.

"Qingxin! Qingxin! What...what's wrong with you?"

Su He was alarmed and rushed to Qingxin's side, supporting her shoulders.

But Qingxin seemed unable to hear his voice anymore, staring blankly ahead, tears streaming down her face.

"Su He, I'm sorry, I... I don't think I can get up..."

Her voice was weak and desperate, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Su He was heartbroken, but now was not the time for grief.

His top priority is to defeat these octopuses and save Qingxin.

"Hold on, I will definitely get you out!"

Su He shouted loudly, and the true energy within his body erupted instantly.

A powerful sword intent erupted from his body, transforming into sharp sword energies that roared towards the octopuses.

The octopuses let out piercing roars, their tentacles flailing wildly as they tried to deflect the sword energy.

But this time, their defenses seem to have become much weaker.

Wherever the sword energy passed, black blood splattered continuously, accompanied by the octopuses' mournful screams.

"Hahaha, as expected of the Tai Xuan Sword!"

Su He laughed loudly.

His movements became increasingly agile, as if he had become one with the sword.

It strikes directly at the octopuses' vital points, showing no mercy.

The number of octopuses is gradually decreasing, but their attacks are becoming increasingly ferocious.

Strange energy was continuously released from their bodies, transforming into beams of black light that blasted towards Suhe.
