Volume 1: Winds Rising From the Mountains and Swamps Chapter 217: Strange Things on the Seafloor
Only then did Lin Yi understand why Elder Jiang was acting like this. He shook his head and said, "I am only at the sixth level of cultivation and did not deceive the elder. It's just that I have other ways to refine my consciousness, which is not worth mentioning."
Elder Jiang shook his head secretly, what kind of technique could be so magical! He had something in mind, but he couldn't take the liberty to ask, so he had to mention the situation under the water. [Search for the latest updates at.; Lin Yi told Elder Jiang that no other sea monsters were seen under the water, but he was worried and wanted to go into the water to explore.
Elder Jiang couldn't defeat Lin Yi, and if the Tianlong Sect's ships were to continue docking here, it would be better to explore the place clearly. But he knew that his cultivation was not as good as the other's, so he stayed on the shore to provide support.
For this reason, Elder Jiang could only advise Lin Yi to be more careful.
Lin Yi was not a reckless person. His consciousness only made a general inspection and found no other movement. In his spiritual consciousness, he noticed that under the sea water, it was like a funnel shape, but the center was extremely deep and foggy, so he couldn't see clearly.
Lin Yi would feel uneasy if he couldn't figure out where these sea monsters came from. Especially the places where he couldn't see clearly gave him the idea of taking a risk. If something unexpected happens, just come back in time.
Under the movement of Lin Yi's spiritual energy, his whole body was wrapped in a layer of aura. His steps were empty and he walked along the waves. He stopped two or three miles away, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly sank into the sea.
When I first entered the water, everything was dark, and then it became darker and darker. It can be said that I couldn't see my fingers. Lin Yi unfolded his consciousness, carefully reached down, and his body slowly dived down——
Fifty feet, one hundred feet, three hundred feet——
As the dive got deeper and deeper, Lin Yi's spiritual energy shield was shaken by the rolling of the sea water. He was busy encouraging the circulation of spiritual energy and continued to sink downward.
When they reached five hundred feet underwater, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and then stopped. The crushing force of the sea water became even more severe, and his spiritual energy shield could no longer be sustained. In desperation, he could only wrap himself with the Xuantian Shield.
This move consumes a lot of spiritual energy. For the sake of his own safety, Lin Yi dare not continue diving.
What is underneath this sea area that is more than ten miles in size is so strange. Whether it is a funnel or a bowl, the place where the surrounding smoothness gradually becomes steeper and steeper extends downward, which is the place that is deeper and deeper than a thousand feet. Lin Yi's consciousness once again explored the surroundings and made sure that he did not see a sea monster on the beach, so he explored the extreme depths.
The area thousands of feet away from the sea is not large, only one or two hundred feet in diameter. With Lin Yi's spiritual consciousness, he should be able to see through it easily. But what surprised him was that he had dived five hundred feet, and during his spiritual exploration, it was still foggy, making it difficult to discern what was underneath. And the seabed with a radius of one to two hundred feet seemed to have rising mist, mixed with fluctuations similar to spiritual energy, but it was different from the familiar spiritual energy.
What is hidden beneath this strange fluctuation?
In the depths of the seabed, apart from some heart-stopping fluctuations, there was no other movement. Lin Yi stayed quietly underwater, thinking for a long time. It was because of his low cultivation level, otherwise, he would have gone down to the bottom of the sea to find out.
Shaking his head, Lin Yi pressed down with both hands and then rose upwards.
When Lin Yi returned to the sea, except for Elder Jiang who was waiting at the beach, the rest of the people were waiting on the island from a distance. He jumped out of the water, stepped on the empty spot with his feet, and landed gently on the shore as if he were riding the wind.
"What's going on below? Has Fellow Daoist Lin gained anything?" Elder Jiang stepped forward impatiently and asked.
Lin Yi recounted what he saw and told everyone that there were no sea monsters down there, which made everyone feel relieved. But the puzzling vision at the bottom of the sea was still hidden in his heart. There are some things that can be said later.
On the horizon, the dawn drove away the remaining night, and a majestic red sun emerged, reflecting the morning glow and dyeing the sea surface red. The second day on the desert island came.
People who had been busy for half a night lay down on the beach one by one, admiring the beautiful scenery of the scorching sun rising over the water. Under their intoxicated expressions, there was still exhaustion that could not be concealed.
There are still traces of blood on the beach, and the bodies of a dozen sea monsters have disappeared. However, on the rekindled bonfire, the barbecue was scorched, and the alluring aroma wafted in the morning breeze.
As soon as Lin walked out of the tent, the trivial things on the beach no longer concerned him.
Unknowingly, Lin Yi was no longer the despised horse-breeding disciple, but a true master in everyone's mind. He was walking leisurely on the beach, as calm as usual, but when the disciples nearby lowered their heads to avoid him, there was an inexplicable fear in their eyes.
After a shock last night, everyone saw the real Lin Yi. That lofty and empty figure, the unpredictable flying sword, the unstoppable murderous intention, and the momentum to turn the tide are amazing and even more heart-stopping! Who could not be surprised that an outer sect disciple who used to be so unspectacular could actually overpower Elder Jiang?
The remaining blood stains on the beach and the sea monster that turned into a barbecue can't help but make people believe that last night's experience was so real and not just a hangover dream!
"Uncle Master, come and try my roasted meat!"
Yuan Qing ran over with a smile, holding a skewer of barbecue in his hand. At first, it was funny that these two Taoist priests picked up a master who raised horses for no reason, but now some people are a little envious of senior brother Yuan Qing. With the guidance of an expert from outside the world, it goes without saying that martial arts can be used to enter the country. Perhaps, you can also get a little bit of immortality!
Although Lin Yi still got along with him as an equal in his heart, and he gradually got used to the title of "junior uncle", it was just a title. The intentions of master and disciple Zhen Yuanzi could not be hidden from him, but it was difficult for him to refuse in his heart. After all, he had a connection with his master, Taoist Master Qingyun. If you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot, that's the way to be a human being!
"Fine food must be paired with fine wine! Brother Lin, how about you try the tribute wine I brought?" Yuan Qing just left, and Hong'an appeared out of nowhere, carrying a beautiful wine jar in his hand. His elegant smile was as bright as the rising sun.
Most of the disciples are attracted by the barbecue. Perhaps, in addition to being hungry, swallowing a piece of sea monster meat can also relieve the pain of losing a fellow disciple!
With the arrival of a new day, the beach on the deserted island also became lively.
Lin Yi did not refuse Hong An's kindness, and the tribute wine tasted really good. He walked to a rock and sat down, looked at the other person, smiled, and said, "This wine is good, thank you, Your Highness!"
Hong An hurriedly waved his hand and said seriously: "Brother Lin, you don't need to see anyone outside, just call me Hong An. I brought a lot of this wine. If you like it, how about I give you a few jars?"
As the saying goes, people must ask for something if they are polite. What is Hong'an going to do? Lin Yi smiled and said: "I just drink in my spare time, I am not an alcoholic."
"Okay! Drinking alcohol is harmful to the body, and drinking is the best way to enjoy yourself! Hong An agrees. However, it is also a good story to give wine to a hero. Brother Lin, you don't have to be humble. I will have someone bring the wine to you later!" Hong An showed his white teeth. , very pleased.
Lin Yi raised his brows, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled silently. Seeing that he had no intention of rejecting him, Hong An sat on a nearby big rock and sighed with emotion: "Brother Lin is such a hero when he is young. He can gallop around the sea and the sky at will, and the world is as big as he can go. It's not like that." A useless person like me, who has no power to restrain a chicken, has to leave his hometown and suffer the pain of being displaced!"
Hearing this, Lin nodded and said, "I'm also curious. You are a noble man and you don't enjoy the blessings in the capital. Why do you want to go overseas?"
"Alas! It's hard to put it into words!" Hong An sighed with a wry smile, and took the opportunity to tell all the difficulties in his heart.
Every prince has been exposed to palace disputes since he was a child, and he is a thoughtful person. Only in this way can we gain a chance of survival in the battle of life and death, gain a higher position of power, and finally seize the supreme throne. In that kind of cruel life-and-death struggle, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of person Hong An is and what kind of temperament he is able to live safely until now.
Seeing the desolation and helplessness hidden in the eyes of Hong'an Fengshen's handsome appearance, Lin Yixin was filled with emotion, and his dislike for him eased a little.
However, there was a hint of unwillingness in Hong'an's words. He looked at Lin Yi and said with crazy eyes: "If Brother Lin can help me seize the throne, I will share the honor of the world with Brother Lin!"
Lin Yi shook his head, knowing that the other party still could not let go of the supreme imperial power, so he said in a sincere tone:
"Brother Hong, it's not necessarily a bad thing to go overseas to seek immortals! There is no day in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country. Why do you have to engage in such a hopeless fight, causing turmoil in the government and the public, and even the loss of life! It's not in vain to save your life and live in peace for the rest of your life. Come here for a lifetime!”
Hong'an looked disappointed when he heard this. Seeing that Lin Yi didn't look like he was being hypocritical, he took the wine jar in his hand, took a sip, and sighed quietly: "I also know that what Brother Lin said is true, but I don't know how many tens of thousands he has left here." Miles away, where is my safe haven? Even if I find the elixir, how can I end up well? How can my brother let me go?"
As Hong An spoke, he took another big gulp of wine, which made him cough. The wine dripped and wet his clothes, and his eyes became red.
After staring at Hong'an silently for a long time, Lin Yi stood up and left, then stopped and said, "It's better to take a broad view of things. Why do you have to stick to one thing? You don't know what will happen. There are some things that you should let go of." It doesn’t necessarily mean you have nothing!”
Lin Yi dropped a word and walked forward along the shore. He didn't know how to comfort Hong An, and he himself was confused about some things. Hong'an's elder brother, Emperor Hongtai, had already consolidated his imperial power, and it was extremely difficult for Hong'an to shake his brother's authority.
It is understandable that Hong Anxin is not willing to do anything, but insisting on doing it despite knowing that it cannot be done is unwise. Since then, there is no telling how much bloodshed it will cause, so Lin Yi will naturally not meddle in others' affairs and add fuel to the flames.
Hong'an looked at Lin Yi's back, thinking about the young man's words in his heart. When he was disappointed, he began to think thoughtfully.
