Zaun has had similar experiences before. Back in the Crystal Palace of the Sea Clan, a city was also protected by a transparent light shield deep in the ocean.
But this place is much, much deeper than the Crystal Palace of the Sea Clan. Although I lost consciousness later on, the terrifying whirlpool still left a deep impression on me. This place is probably at least hundreds of thousands of miles away from the sea.
For him, who came from Earth, the deepest ocean trench on Earth was only about 11 kilometers deep, which had become a forbidden zone for life that was difficult for humans to conquer.
The depth here is tens of thousands of times that of the Mariana Trench. If seawater were to pour down, the terrifying pressure would be enough to pulverize any strong person.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance again at the transparent light screen above his head. What incredible power it must take to support such a large space in such a deep sea.
Just then, a soft moan came from his arms, and Zaun realized that Isabella was still in his arms.
Just as the boat was being sucked down and falling, she instinctively grabbed onto herself.
Feeling her trembling body, Zu'an naturally wouldn't abandon her under those circumstances, and hugged her back. Unexpectedly, they didn't separate even after falling here.
Isabella finally woke up completely and realized she was hugging Zaun tightly, even her legs were wrapped around his waist. Her delicate face flushed red instantly: "Big...Big Brother Zaun, thank...thank you..."
She got off him as she spoke.
Zuan naturally didn't take it to heart: "Instead of thanking me, thank your luck. We fell into such a deep sea and we're still okay."
He vaguely felt some air currents supporting his body just now, which might be why he wasn't pulverized.
At this moment, a series of groans came from the side, and people began to emerge from the water one after another. They were obviously waking up and looked around in fear, marveling at the ocean dome.
Alfred, looking terrified, rushed over upon seeing Isabella: "My God, Miss, I'm so glad you're alright."
Isabella glanced at Zuan sheepishly: "Thanks to Brother Zuan for saving me."
Alfred excitedly grasped Zaun's hands: "Your Excellency is truly the savior of our Universal Merchant Guild. You previously won the Medal of Friendship, and now you have saved our young lady several times. I will definitely report this matter when I return. You will be the most honored friend of the Universal Merchant Guild!"
Zaun smiled slightly; "We're still safe and sound after falling from such a height. In the end, it's all thanks to Isabella's great fortune."
Hearing that he was not arrogant despite his achievements, Alfred found him even more pleasing to the eye. He thought to himself that the young lady had just come of age and the master was looking for a son-in-law, so he was the perfect candidate.
The only pity is that he already has a wife in his hometown, but that's not a big problem; he can make her his concubine...
After responding to Alfred, Zaun looked around anxiously until he saw a familiar figure on the shore not far away. He then breathed a sigh of relief, walked over, and asked, "When did you wake up?"
Contrary to expectations, they didn't emerge from the water completely soaked. At this level of cultivation, their clothes are mostly magical artifacts, providing some degree of protection against water and fire.
Even if it's not waterproof, its power is enough to dry clothes with a simple steam.
“A little earlier than you.” Tingxue’s expression remained calm and composed.
"Did you find anything? Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" Zuan said, looking around at his surroundings.
Tingxue's gaze shifted to Isabella in the distance: "I saw you and that young lady were hugging tightly, and I was worried that it would ruin your good time, so I didn't call you."
Zuan: "..."
However, he was somewhat surprised, as this seemed to be the first time Tingxue had shown interest in something completely unrelated.
"This place feels like a dried-up seabed. There's a group of buildings in the distance. I'll wait for you to wake up so we can go see it together," Tingxue's voice rang out again.
Upon hearing this, Zuan looked over and saw that there were indeed some faint signs of buildings in the distance, but they were too far away to see clearly for the time being.
As people gradually came ashore, Yani began to count the number of people. Most of the crew members on the ship had been lost; their cultivation levels were generally low, and they could hardly have survived the situation they had just faced.
Apart from a few unlucky souls at the stern, most of the other passengers survived.
The group also spotted the buildings in the distance and decided to go and investigate.
Yanni instructed the crew to stay behind to gather supplies and establish a temporary camp, so that they would have a way to retreat if they encountered danger ahead.
The others, of course, didn't care and instead praised Yanni for being so thoughtful.
The group quickly embarked on their adventure. Along the way, Isabella couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Alfred, why doesn't the seawater fall down? Is there some kind of magic spell?"
"That goes far beyond the scope of formations and technology. The only things that can do that are some water-based divine objects and the sea-controlling abilities of people like Young Master Zu."
Zuan shook his head slightly: "I might be able to manipulate the seawater to create such a space for a short time, but this place has obviously gone through countless years, and I certainly cannot maintain it for that long."
While the Crown of the Sea God can control the sea, it also consumes the user's own power.
Maintaining such a space indefinitely would be impossible, even if he worked himself to death.
The other guests were intrigued upon hearing this; there must be some kind of aquatic artifact here. If they could obtain that treasure, they would strike it rich…
Yani, however, poured cold water on everyone's hopes: "Actually, there's another possibility, and that is the power of God."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; a true god could indeed accomplish this with ease.
