Very quickly, the figure of Daoist Yuanci could no longer be seen on the surface of the sea.

And under the influence of Yuanci’s power, Spiritual Sense was utterly unable to probe into the water.

The three people in midair didn’t dare to be negligent, vigilantly guarding against any Demonic Beasts that might attack while patiently waiting.

In the past two years, the four had together faced many trials and hardships on the endless sea and had grown accustomed to such situations.

Before long, Daoist Yuanci emerged from the sea with a calm demeanor,

a trace of joy evident on his face,

“I’ve found it, there indeed is a natural tunnel beneath this sea area that we can barely make our way through.”

Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sirui were instantly invigorated.

They then, along with Qin Lingxiao, quickly plunged into the sea under Daoist Yuanci’s lead.

...

There were some Demonic Beasts in the sea, but perhaps because the area was suffused with an especially dense Yuanci power, they only watched from afar, not daring to approach.

Seeing this, Xiang Sirui’s mood greatly improved,

“We are finally about to reach Zhongsheng Continent!”

Daoist Yuanci glanced over these Demonic Beasts, frowning slightly, but considering the situation might be different from before, he didn’t dwell on it and led the three directly down to the depths of the sea floor.

The Yuanci power on the seafloor was, on the contrary, thinner than in the air.

Even so, Qin Lingxiao, who had cultivated the Yuanci True Method, couldn’t help but focus all her mental energy.

She realized that the Yuanci power here was indeed as Daoist Yuanci said, tainted with a corrosive taint, and even incompatible with her own Yuanci Mana, a situation she had never encountered before.

There was no time to ponder further.

After swimming along the sea bed for a distance, they finally found a natural tunnel with numerous currents flowing through it, undulating beneath a rapidly churning sea.

Daoist Yuanci, Rui Chunqiu, and Xiang Sirui felt nothing looking at this tunnel, but Qin Lingxiao paused abruptly.

The scene before her eyes seemed to overlap with a memory from an experience she once had.

“…Brother Qin?

Brother Qin?”

The voice of Xiang Sirui startled Qin Lingxiao awake.

“Uh, I’m coming.”

She was a bit flustered, quickly following after speaking.

The currents in the tunnel were alarmingly swift, powerful enough to injure even a Golden Core Practitioner if one was careless.

However, among the four of them at the moment, three were Nascent Soul Perfect Great Cultivators, and Qin Lingxiao, though slightly weaker, was still a middle-stage Nascent Soul being.

Such currents were certainly no match for them.

Of course, their speed was difficult to increase.

She followed at the rear, and perhaps because Daoist Yuanci had dispersed the Yuanci power in front, the currents by the time they reached her had significantly reduced in Yuanci power, and her pressure immediately lessened.

However, it wasn’t long before she suddenly saw a bright light flare up ahead in the tunnel and heard a dull, low growl.

Alarmed, she was about to strike, but then she heard that familiar and calm voice,

“It’s nothing, let’s keep going.”

The fishy smell of blood was quickly swept away by the rushing water past her side.

The calm and composure contained in that voice instantly eased Qin Lingxiao’s mind.

Not much further, she saw the remains of a Demonic Beast hanging in the tunnel that had not been cleaned up in time.

In the limbs, despite the interference from the Yuanci power, it was still not hard to discern that they had reached Class IV upper grade, even top grade.

Yet in Daoist Yuanci’s hands, they were merely a fleeting flash of light.

“His realm seems to have advanced again.”

Qin Lingxiao withdrew her gaze and continued to follow closely behind Xiang Sirui, yet she couldn’t help a familiar and profound sense of powerlessness to rise within her.

These past two years, all four of them had been facing life and death, yet only Daoist Yuanci seemed to improve after each ordeal, seemingly gaining new insights at regular intervals.

Although for the sake of the journey, the stronger Daoist Yuanci was, the better for everyone, but to watch the gap between them widen, doubt began to sneak into her heart,

“My great-grandfather once said I was a rare genius in the Qin Family for hundreds of years, but I know I am still far from him, which is why I’ve never stopped my arduous cultivation…

yet why to this day, can I not even compare to his Incarnation?”

“Is the gap between us really so vast?”

She did not know, all she knew was that the distance between them seemed ever more remote…

While she was thinking,

Daoist Yuanci suddenly halted his steps ahead.

Rui Chunqiu and Xiang Sirui, although shielded by Daoist Yuanci, lit up their magic treasures at once and quickly inquired,

“Taoist Friend, what’s the situation?”

Daoist Yuanci at the front frowned slightly, shaking his head,

“It’s nothing, I sensed wrong, let’s keep moving.”

And then he continued leading the way.

While sensing the sudden surge of rich Soul power within his Nascent Soul, he inwardly frowned slightly.

“The incense fire power my main body is collecting seems to be increasing…

the difficulty of merging with the Incarnation, I’m afraid, is also rising with the tide.”

“However, the enhancement of the Soul has its significant benefits for my control of the Yuanci power, having benefited from this in my secluded Cultivation.”

He then put aside these thoughts and cautiously sensed ahead, moving deeper into the tunnel.

But he couldn’t tell if it was an illusion, he felt increasingly relaxed the deeper he went.

As if the invisible heavy pressure weighing upon him was dissipating quietly bit by bit.

Meanwhile,

In the Yuanci Storm that pierced the sky above the water,
