The light transformed by the stone statue was hard and mysterious, wrapping the entire earthly space and protecting the small things inside. Xia Xiao was in a trance, and in an instant he reached the edge of the space, looking at the stone platform in the center from a stone pillar. On the platform was the altar, and on the altar was a small group of stones coiled, like a small snake. It was very small compared to the altar stone pillar, but one day it would stand upright and touch the sky.

The little snake, which had been sleeping for a long time, had not yet awakened. Xia Xiao only took a look at it, then restored himself to normal and returned to the ancient hall. Looking again, the stone statue was gone, vanishing without a trace. The entire hall seemed to have lost its last support and was shaking wildly, like a hot woman dancing some kind of seductive dance.

The light from above began to dim, and the rocks began to collapse. Xia Xiao pulled Ah Zhu and covered the inner wall of the passage with countless vines to support himself from collapsing when he ran out. During this process, Xia Xiao was surprised to find that his power could be released normally, and the mysterious suppression had disappeared. But every ending is like another beginning!

As soon as they stepped onto the small bridge, it suddenly broke into pieces. Wings grew out of Xia Xiao's back, and although they broke the backpack, they kept them afloat and did not fall. The sea was no longer a foothold, and Xia Xiao could not even use the sea water because it was extremely heavy, like a wind that was getting heavier and heavier, making it impossible to control.

The sea began to stir, the ancient temple became a ruin, and rolled into a huge whirlpool. The whirlpool produced a suction force, like a black hole that no one had ever discovered, sucking Xia Xiao and Azhu in with an absolutely mysterious unknown force. Xia Xiao, who had just felt lucky, immediately lost his good mood and began to curse in his heart, saying that fortune and misfortune really go hand in hand. He had just gained some benefits, but then suffered such a heavy blow.

Awakening the Earth Element is not a difficult task, at least for Xia Xiao now, as long as the time is right, he can open the Earth Element space and master the complete five elements. But the suction released by this vortex makes Xia Xiao extremely difficult. Even if the wings are spread to the limit and the power is used, he still cannot escape from this area.

"what to do?"

Ah Zhu's face darkened and he hugged Xia Xiao's arm tightly, but his body kept sinking and hit the splashes of the waves, and he felt a chill on his back.

"Oh my god, don't go down! Don't go down!"

Ah Zhu kept talking, trying to create some miracle, but Xia Xiao was powerless to save the situation. Compared to the whirlpool that completely swallowed the sea surface, Xia Xiao was just a fragment, insignificant.

The veins around his eyes and forehead were like angry dragons, but no matter how he twisted his body, he couldn't exert any strength, let alone escape from the predicament. Xia Xiao smacked his lips and burst out his vitality, but the air wave that could usually explode with a sonic boom now only made a very small sound.

"It's over."

Xia Xiao didn't panic or yell, he just said something calmly, but it was full of despair. After saying this, his body suddenly fell down, and he and Ah Zhu were pulled into the whirlpool together.

As the daughter of the sea, Xiaoyu is as familiar with the ocean as anyone else. Logically, she can compete with the Great Emperor Qishi. But she can't break free from the shackles of the water space now. Even if she crashes into it again, it's useless to help Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao is now unable to form seals. His body is grabbed by countless invisible hands, trying to drag him under the sea, leaving him no chance of rising to the surface.

"Come again!"

Xiaoyu said to the three fish, and they collided together, causing the entire sea to shake. Suddenly, tsunamis continued, and the waves surged, like a bowl of water held in the hands of a god, which began to shake because of his stumble, and even a few points splashed out.

Breaking through by force may be dangerous. Sanyu tried to persuade her again, but Xiaoyu didn't listen. She was soon attacked and spit out a mouthful of blood. Even after being diluted in the sea water, it looked like a huge jellyfish. In fact, it was too late to go out now. She didn't want to help Xia Xiao, but Xiaoyu, who was always afraid of pain, was very determined. She clenched her little hands and continued to hit.

Even if she was afraid of pain and timid, Xia Xiao was in the sea at this moment. This was her territory, and she should come forward to help Xia Xiao overcome the difficulties, so that he would not be in vain for his care and concern for her. But the water space suddenly became dark, everything disappeared, and Xiaoyu's eyes and surroundings became chaos.

The feeling of confusion made Xiaoyu lose consciousness, and the same was true for the other four spaces.

This was the first time that the Five Elements Space faced such a catastrophe. Xiao Ran looked up, but because she could not sense Xia Xiao, she didn't know what had happened. She just hugged the seed that Ju Mang had transformed into with great worry.

The evil spirit was always ready for battle, and remained awake even in the chaos, with one blood-red eye flashing with murderous intent and fighting spirit. The golden spirit beast was too lazy to pay attention to Xia Xiao. From the moment it was possessed by the devil, it never appeared when Xia Xiao needed it. At this time, it did not resist at all, but just sank into the darkness and slept in it.

The sea surface in his field of vision was full of whirlpools, so huge that Xia Xiao had no power to resist. He felt like he had entered another world, so far away that he could not reach it. Xia Xiao fell into an extremely exaggerated sleep, and Ah Zhu beside him choked on the water several times and lost consciousness the moment he entered the sea.

The two were in a trance, and all kinds of evil monsters began to appear in front of them, like an extremely terrifying nightmare, which made them terrified and unable to escape, and they seemed to stay in it forever, suffering from torture. In the cruel reality, the two did not know where they were drifting to, and they might die in the deep sea, but the story of this sea area was unfolding and had not ended.

Several strings of bubbles rose from the seabed to the surface, and as they moved, the sea changed wildly. When the bubbles broke below the sea surface, the sea surface was calm, without any turbulence. The sky, which had been dark for a moment, suddenly became clear again, like a landscape painting, or like a pure mirror.

But even so, this place is still so strange that even seabirds dare not come here. But that's right, there are no seabirds in this world for a long time, only death and silence.

"strangeness……"

The murmur was very soft, and the one who made it was a child. He stood on the shimmering sea, forming a sharp contrast with the white-haired old man beside him. His face was always frosty and stern, which was completely different from the old man's relaxed and smiling face. Although the waves he emitted were different, they were both strong.

"Little ghost, is it because my eyes are blurry? I clearly see a huge whirlpool here."

"I saw it too. It took Xia Xiao to the bottom of the sea."

"It seems we are still not in time."

The old man sighed, as if it was a pity, but the boy sneered rudely:

"Stop pretending, you're so hypocritical."

"Don't be so disrespectful! Even if you see through it, you can't say such harsh words. You have to speak according to seniority and etiquette."

"What's the use of seniority? I've seen real gods, and you are beyond their reach. Also, you are so bold to let Xia Xiao go, do you really think Xia Xiao can tear open the darkness and let in more light?"

When it comes to his views on Xia Xiao's affairs, the old man is in high spirits, radiant, and speaks out one by one with a little excitement.

"He has the ability, and this path can make him stronger. Xia Xiao is no longer the boy from Longgang back then. He can't be fooled by a few words. It's better to support him to keep going than to force him to stop. And you're still talking to me. Isn't the academy helping him in various ways?"

"The academy has many reasons to help him, but you dote on him too much."

"What parents don't care about their children? What master doesn't protect his disciples? He got Xuyun's relics by chance, so he deserves our escort. But do you think the place he is going to is suitable?"

"Do you know where he went?"

The boy was a little surprised. He only knew that Xia Xiao and Azhu had entered the deep sea, and this was either related to the ancestor of the spiritual contract, or Que Dan was playing tricks. In either case, Xia Xiao and Azhu were not in danger of life, which was enough. He could hear the tone of Xunzi clearly, and seemed to know the exact location of Xia Xiao and Azhu.

Compared to strength, the boy was indeed inferior to Qing Xunzi, so he looked at the latter, hoping that he would give the answer. But Qing Xunzi grinned and said:

"It's fine if you can't see it, but I have to say that your cultivation is still not good enough. Read more books. Isn't the academy a place where gods store books when they rest in the wilderness?"

If others comprehend something that he cannot see, the boy might think that they are just pretending to be mysterious, that they are not really that capable, and that their so-called insights are just nonsense. But Qingxunzi is very strong and would not be so bored as to joke with him. But even if he asked repeatedly, Qingxunzi did not say anything. Now the fewer people who know where Xia Xiao is, the better.

This argument was fruitless, but the waves that came from nowhere in the distance had already risen to the horizon. The black line was frighteningly thick, and the sound of the waves was like thunder, which immediately attracted the attention of the white-haired old man and the boy.

"It seems that one of the residents couldn't stand our noise here."

"Will you try to stop it?"

"With our current strength, it may not be enough."

Qing Xunzi had better judgment than the boy. How could two clones possibly stop the waves that tried to submerge the entire wild beast's tail? So under the waves that could not be avoided, the clones of the two were quickly washed away. But they left some vitality, which would come in handy at the next checkpoint as they moved forward with the waves.

The black waves will not stop, they rush towards the shore, stepping on the bodies of Qing Xunzi and the boy's clone, with great momentum, like an unforgivable robber, ready to attack passers-by, and skillfully shouting the slogan that has not changed for hundreds of years - I planted this tree, I built this road, if you want to pass by, leave a toll!

The slogans were loud and clear, and they were almost there. If measured by human footsteps, this road would be extremely long, but for the waves, it was only a quarter of an hour. Even though it was far away, many elders of the Qingtian Sect on the shore still noticed it.

Seeing this, Yan Meng immediately ordered all the elders to retreat five kilometers to give them time to react. But the wave was too high and too strong, and the momentum of the wave was extremely exaggerated, breaking the clouds and disturbing the sunset. When it fell, Yan Meng had no choice but to continue retreating. The coast might be washed away, but Master Bai Lin still sat cross-legged in the same place.

At the startling sound, he opened his eyes, stood up, and began to take his mission as his goal. In the mortal world, people call brave warriors heroes. Bai Lin didn't have any concept of it, and didn't want to be one, but a mission is a mission, and it must be completed!

Master Bai Lin is not that great as he is in charge of protecting the Great Wilderness. He should just guard the Tanghua Temple and not let the filthy water pollute the purity of the Tanghua Temple.

"ha--"

With a shout, the Zen stick fell to the ground again. When the iron ring made a crisp sound, a very long barrier immediately rose on the coast. Looking back, raising his hand, Xia Xiao's slender fingers grasped the bamboo slips that were coming towards him. He knew what was in it just by looking at the shape. The look he cast towards Wang Ling was full of gratitude and surprise.

"Thank you very much."

"Stay alive."

Wang Ling didn't know what expression to show to Xia Xiao, so he had no expression on his face. But the latter held the bamboo tube and turned around to continue his journey. For Wang Ling, it was really hard to imagine what Xia Xiao would face. In fact, he himself didn't know clearly. He only had a vague impression of it, which was nothing more than bizarre monsters and demons. But he was now a demon, a human, and a demon, no worse than them.

"What's in it?"

"Can't you see?"

Ah Zhu stared for a long time and shook her head. What could she see just by looking? She moved her sensitive little nose and sniffed, causing Xia Xiao to roll his eyes at her.

"What look?"

Ah Zhu was about to take action after he finished speaking, punching Xia Xiao on the shoulder, but in the bamboo tube that opened, there was a scroll full of talisman arrays, just as Xia Xiao had thought. Although there were only fire talisman arrays in it, one could feel their tyranny, estimated to be 100,000 patterns, and there were even a few extremely exaggerated talisman arrays that could absorb Xia Xiao's vitality in an instant.

With the talisman formation, Xia Xiao was obviously more confident. He and Azhu continued to walk in the wilderness, as if they were guided by dozens of talisman formations.

The faster and longer they walked, the closer Xia Xiao was to Tanghua Temple, but he didn't dare to go straight to it, so he and Azhu took a big detour. In this way, Xia Xiao and Azhu disappeared from everyone's sight as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, with a better camouflage ability than a chameleon.

The five elders of the Qingtian Sect broke free and questioned the four people from the academy in anger. They were looking for Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu. The self-inflicted injuries on their bodies made them look like they had just fought a battle. However, the suspicion of the Qingtian Sect made them face more controversy. However, the attitude of these elders only earned the contempt and anger of the people from the academy. They acted like they were in control of the situation. Who were they doing this for?

The five elders summoned stronger practitioners, but instead of continuing to search, it would be better to stand by the sea and wait for them. This idea soon became a reality. A group of people stood on the cliff ten miles apart, waiting for Xia Xiao, not knowing where he would come from.

"It might be better if he rushed directly into the South China Sea."

"He also needs vitality. His previous state was not enough to rush directly into the Nether Sea and face unknown dangers. So he hurried on his way while recovering. It can be said that he was cautious, but he was still too confident. The gap in strength can't be made up by brains in many cases. What's more, I am not a useless person like you!"

Apart from Grandpa Pan, the deputy leader of the Qingtian Sect, the strongest cultivator in front of him is Yan Meng. He has his hands folded across his chest. The elder next to him, who had just fought with Xia Xiao, did not dare to refute or get angry, but only nodded.

The sky gradually darkened, and the wilderness fell into a deeper silence. Everything seemed dead, and Xia Xiao and Azhu also stopped. Now was a good time to recover his strength. He had to fill every part of his body with vitality to break through.

Sitting cross-legged, Xia Xiao and Azhu formed seals together, but the speed of absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth was very slow. Fortunately, Xia Xiao could absorb it through the four elements at the same time, and Azhu still had a lot of vitality in his body, so he had to hurry on at midnight.
