Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

The churning thunderclouds receded like the tide, and the Thunder Continent returned to silence, leaving only a warm, smooth inkstone lying quietly in Jiang Chuan's palm.

Jiang Chuan put away the inkstone, looked up into the distance, and a thought suddenly struck him.

"Could it be that each continent represents a chance for inheritance?"

The more Jiang Chuan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

This Star God Temple truly lives up to its reputation as one of the three great ancient holy sites; its profound heritage is simply astonishing!

He was filled with emotion, but he didn't linger any longer and went straight to the end of the Thunder Pool Continent.

Sure enough, an ancient teleportation array stood there.

Several messy footprints remained on the battlefield.

Ji Hong and the other two had long since disappeared, presumably having left through this teleportation array.

Jiang Chuan sat down cross-legged, regulated his breathing for a moment, and restored himself to his peak condition.

Without hesitation, he stepped onto the teleportation array.

hum!

A flash of light.

……

When Jiang Chuan opened his eyes again, his first feeling was cold.

It's so cold!

It was a sticky, chilling feeling that seeped into his bones, invading him from all directions!

"Hmm... gurgling?!"

He suddenly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a pitch-black body of water where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

"Is this... underwater?!"

Jiang Chuan was slightly startled, but he didn't panic too much.

A practitioner's flawless Dharma body is impervious to water and fire, and wards off all poisons.

In theory, he doesn't need to breathe at all.

They won't drown.

However, he still subconsciously activated his true energy, condensing a water-proof shield around his body.

Being underwater in darkness, and having the feeling that something was watching him from the shadows, made him instinctively want to shut himself off.

hum! !

The crimson protective aura of true essence lit up with crackling, flickering arcs of electricity.

In this deep, dark seabed, it was as if a 100,000-watt light bulb had been turned on in an instant, so bright it was blinding.

Wherever the light shone, the strangely shaped deep-sea creatures were immediately terrified and scattered in all directions.

"This is way too conspicuous..."

Jiang Chuan immediately sensed something was amiss.

However, with the help of this light, he was able to take in all the surrounding conditions.

Rugged seabed rocks, jagged coral reefs, and several strangely shaped deep-sea creatures slowly swam by.

There's no immediate danger.

But Jiang Chuan's heart sank.

He cultivates the Bing Fire element.

In the deep sea, where the water elemental energy is extremely abundant, his strength is undoubtedly naturally suppressed.

To make matters worse, the surrounding seawater contained a faint spiritual energy.

The sense of oppression intensified even further.

If his true essence had not already liquefied and its quality had not far exceeded that of ordinary beings, even his cultivation would have been suppressed and become sluggish!

"In my current state, I'm afraid I can't even unleash one-tenth of my full strength..."

Jiang Chuan secretly assessed the situation, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Don't stay here for long!

The most urgent task is to find a teleportation array to leave this continent and go to the next area.

As for the opportunities here... let's leave them to those who are destined to find them.

The decision has been made up.

Jiang Chuan spotted a direction and swam forward.

However, not long after, a chilling feeling suddenly rose in his heart without warning!

In front.

A surging undercurrent suddenly swept in.

Accompanying the undercurrent was a terrifyingly large black shadow!

The dark figure was entirely black, over a hundred feet long, and resembled a moving underwater mountain!

It opened its abyss-like maw and charged madly toward Jiang Chuan!

That enormous mouth could swallow a small mountain!

"Holy crap..."

Jiang Chuan's pupils contracted sharply.

He felt an irresistible sense of oppression emanating from the other person.

He was all too familiar with this kind of oppression.

Foundation building realm!

This was none other than a deep-sea monster at the Foundation Establishment stage!

In that critical moment, Jiang Chuan's mind raced.

It is light!

It was the light emanating from my own body that attracted this terrifying deep-sea monster!

Without thinking, he desperately tried to dodge to the side.

Simultaneously.

He abruptly withdrew the protective aura of true energy surrounding his body.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his hand back and threw a mass of [Tomorrow's Day] compressed to its limit in another direction!

hum! !

That blazing light exploded with a deafening roar in the dark sea!

The terrifying deep-sea whale took the bait.

Its massive body swung with a thunderous roar, stirring up a raging torrent of dark currents, and it chased after the ball of light!

Jiang Chuan narrowly escaped disaster!

However, while dodging, he was still lightly grazed by the giant whale's massive body.

boom!!

Jiang Chuan felt an immense force surge towards him.

With his current Dharma body strength, he actually felt as if his mortal body had been half-slammed head-on by a hanging object!

Instantly, the blood and qi in his chest surged violently, and his Dharma body shattered inch by inch!

"puff……!"

Jiang Chuan spat out a mouthful of blood and, using the aftershock, quickly crashed headfirst into a natural cave in the seabed rocks.

Inside the cave.

Jiang Chuan rested for a long time before he recovered.

Even after calming down, his back was still ice-cold.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably be eaten by that giant whale by now.

What kind of monster is that?!

Moreover, in that fleeting glimpse as they brushed past each other, he clearly saw that the whale's tail was trailing thousands of thick tentacles!

That appearance.

It's so bizarre, it's like something created by an evil god!

Just thinking about it makes Jiang Chuan feel like his rationality is going to collapse!

"This place is fucking creepy!"

Jiang Chuan cursed, propped himself up, and prepared to leave the cave.

Just as he turned around...

A dark shadow suddenly rose from the depths of the cave!

Jiang Chuan had already noticed.

A sea creature already inhabited this cave.

He had initially thought that they should keep to themselves.

They just didn't take action.

Now that the other party is actively courting death... Jiang Chuan didn't even turn his head. He grabbed the monster with his backhand and accurately pinched it in his palm!

"What is it?"

By the dim light, Jiang Chuan could make out the monster's appearance.

Upon seeing this, he immediately felt a chill.

It was a two-foot-long lobster, but its head had a pair of dead fish eyes that looked remarkably like those of a human.

Those eyes were dull and lifeless, yet they were fixed intently on him.

It sends chills down one's spine.

"die!"

Without wasting words, Jiang Chuan was about to crush it to death, but the lobster's shell was as hard as refined gold.

The shrimp claws struggled desperately in his hands, making a snapping sound.

It even pinched a few tiny cracks into his Dharma body.

"Um?!"

Jiang Chuan found it utterly unbelievable.

This little thing is at most at the first level of Qi Refining cultivation.

How could it possibly injure him like this?!

"Snap!"

Jiang Chuan increased the pressure in his hand and finally crushed the lobster to death.

Looking at the strange corpse, Jiang Chuan's expression grew increasingly solemn.

What kind of continent is this?

And why would it appear in the legacy of the Star God Temple?

Filled with curiosity, Jiang Chuan left the cave.

He would like to see.

What kind of world is this strange sea area?

Instead of rushing on his way, he floated upwards.

Although he had already removed the light shield and it was pitch black all around, night vision was a minor ability that was not worth mentioning to a cultivator.

The seabed remained pitch black, with only the occasional bioluminescent jellyfish adding a few glimmers of light to this desolate world.

Fifty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters...

The water pressure around them gradually decreased.

Jiang Chuan rose to the surface at a speed of 100 meters per second for a full ten minutes.

Ordinary cultivators probably wouldn't last even an incense stick's time, only someone with a perfected Qi Refining Dharma Body like him could move freely in such a deep sea.

The higher you go.

The surrounding water temperature becomes colder.

Later, even ice crystals appeared in the seawater.

The ice shards struck his body with a clanging sound, like being cut by a knife.

But when he finally approached the surface of the sea, the scene before him completely stunned him.

"this……"

Above the sea.

It was completely sealed off by a layer of ice that emitted a bone-chilling cold.

The ice layer was incredibly thick, reflecting a chilling light, like a giant wall stretching across the sky!

"open!"

Jiang Chuan channeled his true energy and unleashed a punch!

You should know that his punch carried the power of a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator.

boom!!

Ice shards flew everywhere.

But the ice layer only broke open by a shallow layer.

"I refuse to believe it!"

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth and charged straight upwards, blasting his way through!

One hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

Three hundred meters...

He drilled upwards for hundreds of meters, but the ice layer showed no sign of becoming clear.

The surroundings grew colder and colder, and the newly opened passage beneath them had already frozen over again.

Jiang Chuan sensed something was wrong.

If they keep fighting, he might be sealed inside the ice before he even breaks through it!

"call……"

Jiang Chuan quickly stopped what he was doing and began to retrace his steps.

He got it.

This is a continent frozen in ice!

The entire continent is probably sealed under the sea by this ice that has never melted for hundreds of millions of years.

Leaving from the sea is impossible; the only way out is to find a teleportation array to leave this place!

After accepting his fate, Jiang Chuan returned to the seabed.

This time, he didn't try again; he simply and honestly peered forward.

If you encounter a monster, avoid it if possible.

en route.

He then encountered several more strangely shaped monsters.

There are strange fish with human faces, sea snakes that look like centipedes, and swarms of translucent jellyfish that look like ghosts.

He avoided them at all costs, refusing to provoke them.

I don't know how much time passed.

at last.

Jiang Chuan arrived at a mysterious ruin.

Upon seeing the ruins clearly, Jiang Chuan's breath hitched slightly, and an expression of disbelief returned to his eyes.

It turned out to be a huge, deep pit spanning hundreds of miles, with buildings built in a stepped pattern around it.

Each layer is denser than the last.

Like an ant nest.

It's like a giant city hanging upside down!

The buildings are now in ruins, but their former grandeur is still faintly discernible.

At the very center of the pit is a circular abyss, hundreds of meters in diameter and bottomless.

That abyss was as black as ink, seemingly leading straight to the underworld.

Just one glance.

I felt as if my entire being was being sucked in.

However, what Jiang Chuan was more concerned about was a figure that was currently hovering above that abyss.

Clad in white, aloof and cool, with ripples of water flowing around her.

Lan Ruoxi!

She held a strange treasure in her hand, drawing in icy energy from all around her.

The treasure was shaped like a water droplet, and its entire body was ice blue. As the cold air rushed in, it became even brighter.

I saw Jiang Chuan.

She immediately cast a wary glance at me.

In that gaze, there was wariness, coldness, and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.

"The teleportation array is right next to you; you can leave at any time." Her voice was as cold as frost, keeping everyone at arm's length. "Don't bother me!"

Jiang Chuan followed her gaze and, sure enough, saw a teleportation array at the edge of the pit.

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly.

He could tell.

Lan Ruoxi is at a crucial moment in seizing the opportunities in this place.

If he were so inclined, he might actually ruin her plans if he made a move now.

But then he thought about it again and suppressed those thoughts.

Here, his cultivation level was reduced to less than one-tenth.

As a water cultivator, Lan Ruoxi thrived in this deep-sea world!

She didn't attack me directly because she was busy subduing the rare treasure and couldn't spare the time.

Otherwise, getting herself ready would have been a piece of cake for her!

Once you understand this section...

Why would Jiang Chuan want to make a fool of himself?

He simply asked out of curiosity, "Is this underwater ruin also part of the Star God Temple? What was the purpose of building this place?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Lan Ruoxi's eyes.

It seems to be saying:

Why do you have so many questions?

However, the image of Jiang Chuan's insane behavior of fighting three opponents by himself just a few days ago is still vivid in our minds.

She didn't want to miss her chance because of a madman.

So, suppressing her temper, she explained calmly:

"This deep-sea world should be one of the small worlds controlled by the Star God Temple."

"Nowadays, both the Immortal Alliance and the sects and families of the Southern Region control multiple passages to small worlds."

"As one of the three ancient holy lands, the Star God Temple naturally controls countless small worlds."

"And the rules of these small worlds are inherently diverse, so it's normal for them to give rise to all sorts of strange things."

Jiang Chuan suddenly realized.

Therefore, the giant whale with thousands of tentacles and the lobster with dead fish eyes are probably "special products" nurtured by this small world.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder he encountered so many bizarre things along the way.

It turns out that this deep sea was originally a small world with completely different rules!

Compared to this, the so-called dangerous places in the Origin Realm seem quite ordinary.

"Thank you for enlightening me, fairy."

Jiang Chuan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Since Lan Ruoxi had no intention of harming him, he wouldn't make a fool of himself in this unfavorable environment.

In the end, he did not disturb Lan Ruoxi.

But before leaving, he glanced at that abyss one last time.

Everyone has their own destiny.

His ability to obtain the Thunder Pool was an immense stroke of luck, and Lan Ruoxi's arrival here was clearly her destiny.

Until we meet again.

Jiang Chuan turned around and stepped onto the teleportation array beside him.

Although the deep-sea trip was thrilling but ultimately safe, it broadened his horizons considerably.

hum!

A flash of light.

His figure disappeared into this deep, dark sea world.

Above the abyss, Lan Ruoxi merely glanced at the direction of the teleportation array before closing her eyes again and continuing to absorb the endless icy energy.
