Tang Yue raised an eyebrow. Could this big guy have gained sentience? How come it knows how to surround and intercept? However, Tang Yue had no intention of engaging in a war of attrition with it at this moment.

Big Head Needle and the others had already found their spots in the space, and Tang Yue directly collected a considerable amount of seawater into it. Before the octopus could even react to the changes in the surrounding seawater, its large body had already been moved into the space by Tang Yue.

Tang Yue didn't stop and continued towards her goal. Along the way, she encountered all sorts of strange sea creatures, some of which were ghostly and attacked her silently.

Some of them exuded potent poison, forcing her to tread carefully. Tang Yue stored away the ones she found interesting in her spatial storage, but to save space, she didn't pack too many.

Tang Yue felt that she was in front of the place she was looking for when a group of fish swam past her. Tang Yue didn't pay attention and planned to walk forward after they passed, but the group of deep-sea fish rushed straight towards her.

Unsure of what they had done, Tang Yue felt as if she had been struck by an electric current, a numbing sensation washing over her entire body. Tang Yue was furious. What the hell? Electric fish?!

Tang Yue transformed her spiritual power into a longsword and swung it straight at the waist, slicing countless electric fish in half. She took two of them into her spatial storage, saying she could study them properly when she had time later.

At this moment, Tang Yue was unaware that her body had undergone another change after being electrocuted.

At this moment, Tang Yue was intently staring at the restriction before her. It exuded an ancient and powerful aura, its light flickering, seemingly warning any attempt to intrude.

Tang Yue was certain that this thing couldn't have been made by people from this era. It might even have been left behind by a powerful figure from her time.

Could this be fate? Tang Yue's lips twitched slightly. She was doing alright now and didn't really want to explore the secret realm. A simple business trip to Japan was fine; there was no need to make such a big fuss for her.

In this era, she really doesn't need those skills. As long as she's strong, has good aim, and is physically fit, she's already a complete winner.

However, since she was already here, she certainly couldn't go back empty-handed. Before, she couldn't compete with her senior brothers and sisters for things, but now that she was alone, she could take whatever she wanted.

However, Tang Yue dared not act rashly. She knew that such powerful restrictions often concealed immense dangers. A slight misstep could lead to utter destruction.

Faced with such a powerful restriction, Tang Yue could only admit that she, a mere Golden Core cultivator, was still a weakling. Although she had just experienced a calamity and had entered the late stage of the Golden Core realm, it didn't change the fact that she was still just a Golden Core cultivator.

Tang Yue slowly swam around the barrier, carefully observing every detail. She discovered that the barrier's light seemed to contain some strange symbols and patterns, which constantly changed, as if telling an ancient secret.

Tang Yue's heart skipped a beat. She remembered seeing similar symbols in an ancient book—an ancient script related to the laws of space. Now she had to thank her extraordinary memory.

"What kind of treasure is it that's protected by such a complex barrier?" Tang Yue murmured to herself. She decided to calm down and carefully study the symbols, trying to find a way to break the barrier.

Tang Yue closed her eyes, concentrating all her mental energy to sense every fluctuation emanating from the restriction. In her mind, symbols and patterns constantly appeared and rotated, gradually forming a unique rhythm. Following this rhythm, Tang Yue attempted to use her spiritual power to decipher its meaning.

Time passed by, and Tang Yue was so engrossed in her research on the restrictions that she was completely unaware of the dangers around her.

Suddenly, she felt a powerful force coming from behind her. Startled, Tang Yue turned around quickly. She saw a huge deep-sea monster baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on her. The monster was enormous, tens of meters long, covered in hard scales, and emitted a nauseating stench.

Tang Yue had no time to think; she swiftly dodged the monster's attack. Her spiritual sword instantly materialized, thrusting towards the monster's head. The monster seemed to sense the danger; it swung its massive claws, blocking Tang Yue's attack.

"Hmph, watch how I deal with you!" Tang Yue snorted coldly, raising her hands high. A longsword formed from spiritual energy swiftly slashed down, instantly engulfing the monster with a powerful surge of spiritual energy. The monster let out a painful roar, its body beginning to tremble violently.

However, the monster was not defeated by Tang Yue's attack. Instead, it attacked Tang Yue even more frantically, its claws lashing out in the water, creating a powerful current that swept Tang Yue into it.

Tang Yue quickly erected a spiritual energy shield and struggled desperately in the water. The monster attacked relentlessly, and her spiritual energy shield was on the verge of collapse under its onslaught.

Tang Yue frowned. What is this thing? Why is it so troublesome?

Suddenly, she noticed some strange lights appearing in the water. These lights resembled the symbols within the restriction. Tang Yue's heart skipped a beat; could these lights be the key to breaking the restriction?

Tang Yue concentrated all her spiritual power and rushed towards the direction where the light appeared. Through her efforts, she finally broke free from the water's restraints and arrived at the source of the light.

It turned out that the light was emanating from a huge rock, which was covered with the same symbols as those in the restriction.

Tang Yue carefully observed the symbols on the stone and noticed that their arrangement differed from that in the restriction. A surge of excitement filled Tang Yue; she guessed that this might be the key to breaking the restriction.
