Chapter 1404 - 1404 Sky Change! (1)

The Forbidden Sea was endless, and the seabed was equally so.

Before Desolate’s fragmented-face descended upon Wanggu, no expert in the world dared claim a thorough understanding of the seabed.

At most, their knowledge varied in scope.

This was partly because the seabed spanned a vast area, and partly because the deeper one ventured, the more layers there were. Often, what appeared to be the bottom layer was not; there might be grotto-heavens or even another sea further down.

The truth was that this sea was profoundly deep, and the seabed contained countless mysteries. Some areas were even more ancient than the Brilliant Heaven God Race back then.

Even the Great Emperors had to stop the exploration.

Whether it was the Summer Immortals back then or the successive ancient sovereigns, although they had the wish to control the bottom of the sea, they still didn’t manage to fulfill it in the end.

Fortunately, although the bottom of the sea was mysterious and there were ancient ruins, it was as though it had been isolated from the world and didn’t emit the slightest threat to the surface world. Gradually, people accepted the mysteries of the bottom of the sea.

When Desolate’s fragmented-face arrived and the Endless Sea became the Forbidden Sea, amidst the dense anomalous substances, the already mysterious seabed became even more terrifying.

This was especially so for the outer sea. It was certain that… there were definitely unknown gods there!

This made Xu Qing suspect many times that the bronze chariot and giant he was looking for might have entered the outer sea.

As for the trench he was in now, it was still very far from the outer sea. Compared to the entire seabed, it was inconspicuous, like one of the many grains of sand on the beach.

If it weren’t for the senses of the Holy Heavenly Vine, even if Xu Qing passed by here, he would not have detected the presence of the damaged pagoda hidden deep within the trench.

Xu Qing fell silent. Through the connection with the heavenly vine, he sensed if there was any danger through its observation.

Time flowed by.

The surroundings were pitch-black but it wasn’t silent. The roars of the unknown creatures in the deep sea were deep and long.

A while later, after confirming that there was nothing wrong, Xu Qing sped toward the trench the heavenly vine had entered.

Soon, he entered the trench.

Compared to the outside world, this place was even darker. It was like an abyssal mouth that mercilessly devoured all the lives that came.

Fortunately, the connection with the heavenly vine formed a guide. Hence, Xu Qing didn’t slow down. After entering for fifteen minutes, he finally saw the hole made by the heavenly vine.

This hole was slowly closing up.

Xu Qing immediately entered the hole. He followed the traces of the heavenly vine all the way to the end and appeared at the location of the heavenly vine.

If there were eyes capable of piercing through the seabed, they would clearly see a massive bubble beneath the sea trench.

This bubble spanned a full hundred thousand feet in circumference.

Inside, there was no seawater or silt, only a dilapidated tall pagoda wrapped in withered vines.

As for Xu Qing and his heavenly vine, they were currently at the edge of the bubble, a temporary cave that had been dug out from the silt.

Xu Qing stared at the bubble and the pagoda but he didn’t sense any pressure from them, as though everything was ordinary.

However, the strange thing was that he could clearly see the bubble and the pagoda inside with his naked eye, but in his divine consciousness, there was nothing here.

“It can only be seen but not sensed?”

Xu Qing fell silent. After sensing the profundity here, he looked at the heavenly vine at the side.

The emotions of the heavenly vine fluctuated greatly, as though it wanted to rush over but didn’t dare to. At the same time, admiration spread out, as though it had seen its relatives.

In the end, it seemed to have made a decision. It first got close to Xu Qing and gently rubbed Xu Qing’s body a few times. It then suddenly rushed forward with determination, heading straight for the bubble in front.

Xu Qing didn’t stop it.

At the next instant, the bubble fluctuated and the divine vine’s figure entered it, rushing toward the broken pagoda.

Although Xu Qing’s heavenly climber was ten feet thick, it was insignificant when compared to the bubble.

At that moment, outside the pagoda, it was like a thin snake. After circling a few times, it headed straight for the withered vine and landed on it. Finally, under Xu Qing’s gaze, it gradually fused.

Xu Qing sensed the intent of inheritance through the emotions emitted by the heavenly vine.

This perception only lasted for an instant before disappearing.

Xu Qing focused. After waiting for a while, he didn’t see any other changes here. Hence, he lifted his feet and walked toward the bubble. However, the instant he got close and tried to step in…

An astonishing opposition rose majestically from the bubble, preventing Xu Qing from even taking a step inside.

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. His vitality energy rose and the strength of his physical body erupted completely. He relied on his frightening body to forcefully take a step forward.

With this step, the fluctuations of the globule instantly intensified and the repulsive force soared. An invisible impact that could topple mountains and overturn seas bombarded Xu Qing.

Xu Qing frowned and took another step forward. After that, he took the third, fourth, and fifth step.

This globule didn’t shatter. Instead, as Xu Qing moved forward, it caved in. After it caved in by half, the repulsion from it had reached a soul-stirring level.

Especially after Xu Qing took the sixth step, the repulsion surged again, forming a devastating backlash. Xu Qing’s body trembled, forcing him to retreat rapidly.

He withdrew all the way back to his original position and abruptly raised his head, staring intently at the globule before him.
