Under the dim water, gravel covered the seabed.

Shen Lian held the water-repellent bead on his head and looked at the place where the Five Elements Spirit Puppet had discovered. He tried to sense it with his divine consciousness and spiritual power.

Nothing was found.

On the other hand, when the divine consciousness controlled the spirit puppet, a mysterious wave connected with the spirit puppet.

It's just very strange...

It's like a secret code.

I don’t understand, I can only say…the way of immortality is supreme and indescribable.

This was not said by him, but by the ancestors who had achieved divine enlightenment throughout the generations in the world of immortal cultivation.

When faced with a problem that requires decision or explanation, it all ends up being indescribable.

"puff……"

The puppet talisman who had just drilled in was bounced out in an instant, but the sand and gravel underneath was not disturbed.

After putting away the puppet talisman man, Shen Lian concentrated his mind on the spirit puppet.

Separate the water spirit puppet and have it carefully drill into the gravel below.

The faint blue under the gravel...super thin...

It feels very moist.

The spirit puppet got in immediately.

Shen Lian felt his sea of ​​consciousness tremble violently, and the connection between him and the spirit puppet was suddenly weakened by 50%.

After adapting for a while, a scene emerged in the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

Oh, so this is what it’s like inside.

…

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

After spending such a long time, Shen Lian finally figured out the scene inside through the spirit puppet.

How should I put it, this underwater place... let's call it a 'cave paradise', it's magical.

It does not exist on the seabed, but rather exists in the spatial hierarchy, but it is also involved with the ocean.

The outer layer of the "cave heaven" is a thin fetal membrane, which encloses a mountain made of corals.

The outline of the entire "cave heaven" is an irregular inverted gourd shape that is thick in the front and small in the back. The overall length is between seven thousand and eight thousand feet, and the widest part is one thousand feet.

Shen Lian also found the area where the Hailan spiritual grass grew, right in the waist area in the middle of the gourd.

The tidal island found by those wandering cultivators more than a decade ago should be a small coral reef exposed on the sea surface within the entire "Dongtian".

As for why only a little bit was revealed at that time, don’t ask. The answer is that the way of immortality is supreme and indescribable.

There is indeed a large group of conch sea worms living in the coral mountain of "Dongtian". The strongest one is only a second-level one, and there is no third-level one.

In addition to the conch sea worms, the entire cave is actually a small water world with a variety of fish living in it.

It’s a bit regrettable that they are all water monsters.

After investigating the scene in the "cave", Shen Lian finally decided to take action.

As a cultivator, he also has to do it himself, as his experience in fighting is too scarce.

Slowly coming to the entrance, the spirit puppet and the main body merged into one, and colorful spiritual light lit up on Shen Lian's body.

He had tried it before, and he could use the Five Elements Spirit Puppets to allow his original body to enter.

A blue light flashed, and Shen Lian began to sink down. This time, he felt the lubrication through both touch and perception.

When he entered the cave, the four puppet talismans who had just entered flashed by and drilled into the gravel.

After entering the 'cave', Shen Lian was immediately attracted by the beautiful light inside.

Unlike the gravel seabed outside, there are reefs, seaweed, shells and corals here, all shining with different brilliance.

There is rich spiritual energy hidden in the water. Even without the help of water-repellent beads, the body will not feel the slightest bit of suffocation here.

There is no darkness like the deep sea outside. Amidst the colorful lights, a group of colorful fish, shrimps and crabs sensed the emergence of a strange breath.

One by one they bared their fangs and pounced towards Shen Lian.

"call……"

This time he came to fight the monsters, he opened his mouth and sprayed.

The water flow gathered in front of him, immediately blowing these small fish in the Qi training stage apart with a bang.

Shen Lian finally enjoyed the joy of the foundation-building cultivator by watching a group of small Qi-cultivating fry being killed.

It’s not easy.

It turns out he is pretty awesome himself too.

The foundation-building master is so terrifying.

Shen Lian released his spiritual thoughts in this cave. His spiritual thoughts were compressed to 60%, only about 1,200 feet.

While clearing out the small fish at the Qi training level, Shen Lian moved towards the small gourd belly at the back.

I had originally wanted to see if there were any fish with good bloodlines among these miscellaneous fish, so I could catch them and sell them, but there wasn't a single one that caught my eye.

The closer you get to the back, the stronger the spiritual energy in the water becomes. In the middle of the gourd waist, there is only the Hailan spiritual grass growing, and no fish, shrimps, crabs or the like swimming around. It is obvious that they also know the danger inside.

When he approached the center of the gourd, Shen Lian sensed the snail sea worm inside with his suppressed consciousness.

The bodies of these sea worms are twisted into spiral shapes, with conch-like patterns on their backs. Their fangs are very long, with the smallest ones being one foot in size. There are more than five hundred of them.

All the sea worms were lying in the coral mountain. In the center, there stood a coral mountain several dozen feet in size, and underneath it lay a sea worm king that looked like a small mountain.

The threads on its body were as dark as ink, and its bloody mouth was open, revealing its sharp fangs.

As he breathed in and out, black mucus flowed out of his mouth, sticking to the unchewed fish and shrimp.

"Middle stage of the second stage."

Sensing the breath of the sea worm, Shen Lian nodded. It was his first time fighting a monster, so he should familiarize himself with it first.

The bloodline of the snail sea worm is not high, even worse than that of the big black sea worm, and their traces can be found everywhere in the ocean.

Just like a lower-level cultivator with five spiritual roots, it is very difficult for such a bloodline to break through to a higher level.

Either this second-level sea worm lived long enough, or there was something here that allowed it to break the bloodline constraints.

After checking again and making sure there were no omissions, Shen Lian started to circulate the Five Qis to Origin Power in his body, and the vast five elements power gathered in his palm.

A series of five-colored palms formed and rushed towards the conch sea worm in the front.

The Five Elements Fire Palm, which was blessed by the Tianyan Fire Domain, was not greatly affected in the water.

In an instant, colorful, flaming hands covered dozens of sea worms.

A "puff puff puff" sound was heard, and pools of dark blue blood emerged from the bodies of the defeated sea worms.

When dealing with the Qi training level sea worms on the periphery, Shen Lian was like a fish in water. Wherever he passed, the sea worms' broken limbs flew everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, he had rushed into the swarm of sea worms and killed hundreds of them.

"call……"

At this time, the sleeping sea worm king also woke up.

Although the bloodline of the Snail Sea Worm is low, after being promoted to the second level, its intelligence is almost the same as that of a human child.

Fear and cruelty were revealed in its little eyes, and it opened its fangs and spit out a mouthful of thick black mucus.

The mucus drowned out the scorching heat from the sea water and also increased the viscosity of the sea water.

Shen Lian immediately realized that his movement was restricted.

Seeing the sticky and black mucus floating over, he took a step back and was about to cast a spell with his hands.

At this moment, he thought of the time when Pei Huoyu cast the spell.

Then, Shen Lian flipped his hands, which were used to make the magic gesture, and clasped his hands together and rubbed them together violently, releasing the five elements of spiritual power in his palms.

A five-colored spiritual light like a hemp rope appeared.

"go."

The hemp rope swayed, and with the blessing of the five elements' spiritual power, it suddenly expanded to a size of ten feet, turned into a snake, broke through the mucus, and crashed into the head of the Snail Sea Worm King.

"call."

Upon seeing this, the Sea Worm King let out a strange cry, and circles of conch-like patterns on his body lit up. He actually grew a conch-like shell to form a defense.

Boom!

The Five Elements Snake slammed into the conch shell, blasting the Sea Worm King more than ten feet away, smashing a large piece of coral, and twisting its body in pain.

"Bloodline magical power!"

Shen Lian showed a hint of surprise. His bloodline, which was even worse than Dahei's, actually gave rise to bloodline magical powers.

Although the magical powers are not that great.

But after raising his big black son for such a long time, he still hasn't developed any bloodline supernatural powers.

“Buzz!”

Shen Lian rubbed his hands together again, and the Five Elements Snake flew out from his hands again, crashing towards the Sea Worm King.

The Sea Worm King screamed, curled up into a ball again, and activated the spiral marks on his body.

But this time, when the Five Elements Snake spell fell, a wisp of golden and white flame suddenly spit out from the snake's head.

The flames were not afraid of the sea water at all and immediately ignited the back of the Sea Worm King. No matter how it rolled, the golden and white flames burned a big hole in its back and even melted the only vertebra on its back.

"Spell changes..."

Seeing the sea worm king screaming, Shen Lian did not stop.

"Five Elements Forbidden."

Previously, the use of the Five Elements Forbidden Technique had formed a colorful halo.

At this moment, after Shen Lian performed it, he blew into the light circle while breathing, and the five elements spiritual power also poured out of his mouth.

A halo covered by colorful light mist was directly formed, enveloping the sea worm king.

The tumbling sea worm king was suddenly fixed on the spot by the Five Elements Forbidden Judgment, and his head was burned by the golden and white fire, killing him instantly.

"go!"

After looking at the remaining sea worms, Shen Lian waved his hand and colorful rays of light pierced through, killing the sea worms one by one.

Coming to the half-burned Sea Worm King, he began to examine it.

This sea worm king, who was comparable to the middle stage of foundation building, actually helped him confirm several spell casting methods he had in mind.

For the vast majority of cultivators, fighting is done by performing magic spells in an orderly and routine manner, but performing magic spells takes time.

Pei Huoyu was different before. When he cast several five elements spells, he did not follow the spell casting steps, and the casting process was also very smooth.

There is a difference between Yuanying followers and casual cultivators.

The difference between him and Pei Huoyu is that his fire magic and earth magic are both blessed. For normal cultivators at the bottom of the sea, except for gold, water and other spells which are not affected, fire magic is the most suppressed.

However, due to the blessing of the Tianyan Fire Domain, this normal phenomenon was reversed.

Otherwise, it would take a lot more effort to kill this sea worm king.

As it was the first second-level monster that he had killed personally, Shen Lian gave it some respect and directly used his magic sword to cut open its body.

An inky black demon pill.

Apart from this, nothing special was found.

He collected all the scattered insect corpses and got some spicy strips for Sanqian in the deep sea last time. These can be left for Dahei to enjoy.

Returning to the coral mountain where the sea worm king lives, his spiritual sense sensed everything bit by bit.

Snap!

Under the cracked coral mountain, a piece of arm bone was exposed, covered with fine scales.

With a flick of the sword, the broken arm turned over, and there were webbed fingers between the fingers, as if it was holding something.

"Sea people."

The presence of the sea clan is not surprising, as the sea clan was once the overlord of this sea area. However, they retreated from the Wanxing Sea for some unknown reason.

I tried it and found that my remaining fingers were clenched quite tightly.

Through the gap, Shen Lian saw a shell covered with dark brown lines.

Shells again!

There is also a trace of spirituality emerging from the shell.

But after Shen Lian tried it, he found that the Five Elements Spirit Puppet was not interested in the spirituality released from this shell.

He also sensed it and found that this spirituality, like the spirituality in the white shell back then, lacked a kind of vitality.

"That shouldn't be the reason."

Shen Lian swung the sword in his hand and chopped at the coral again. This time, he shattered the coral mountain and found nothing else.

It should be some other spiritual creature that allowed the Nether Sea Worm to break the blood constraints.

He began to release his divine sense and search within the cave. The cave became smaller and smaller as he went deeper into it. His divine sense swept through it one by one, but he still did not find anything unusual.

"Could it be that this sea worm king is just lucky and has mutated under the blessing of the spiritual vein?"

"By the way, where are the other corpses of the sea people?"

After searching the cave several times, Shen Lian finally arrived at the spiritual vein.

This spiritual vein is right at the waist of the gourd, connecting the two gourds in front and back. It is only about one mile long, and the Hailan spiritual grass grows in the middle.

Spiritual veins are different from spiritual stone mines. The spirituality within spiritual veins is mobile, and cultivators need special means to extract themselves from the spiritual veins.

Shen Lian doesn't have such means.

However, even if he had the means, he did not want to draw away the spiritual vein. Spiritual veins are something that is born and nurtured by nature, and are the foundation for the birth of spiritual creatures.

Normally, when cultivators fight, it is enough to kill a few cultivators. If they even drain their spiritual veins, will they not want to survive when they cross the tribulation? Why is there a killing tribulation in the sky, and cultivators fight so hard, and there are so many tribulation cultivators? Isn't it because of resources?

Thinking back to the ancient times, when the heavens provided food and resources were not lacking, who was not an ancient and holy person? In this era, the spiritual energy is not as good as that in ancient and medieval times, so the importance of spiritual veins is more prominent.

This insignificant little action today might be seen by heaven, and he might be struck less severely when he is undergoing the tribulation.

After his divine consciousness wandered along the spiritual vein several times, Shen Lian finally found the remaining bones of the sea creatures below.

Perhaps it was because time had passed too long, the remains of the sea creatures had merged with the spiritual veins, and a bloody aura had stained the depths of the spiritual veins.

clang.

With a clang, Shen Lian took out the magic sword again.

"Fellow Daoist Lingmai, if you have any spiritual intelligence, you must see clearly. I am helping you to remove the impurities."

"Only when your body is clean can you feel refreshed, right?"

“Puff, puff, puff.”

After muttering, Shen Lian stabbed down with his sword again and again.

He stabbed the sword down, and spiritual energy gushed out, filling his mouth.

"Ahem... every wrong has its perpetrator, and the retribution will be on the sea people."

"puff……"
