Capítulo 1083: Chapter 1069: Howl from the Ocean Depths
The reason why it is called the Heavenly Meridian is not because the number of innate bloodlines within the body reaches seven, which allows it to be called the Heavenly Meridian due to changes in quantity.
It is because when the number of innate bloodlines in the body reaches seven, it triggers a mysterious change, combining a certain power from the seven innate bloodlines into one.
Then, this combined power acts like antennae, allowing the martial artist to more easily comprehend the heavens, to comprehend the Heavenly Dao!
This is the true mystery of the Heavenly Meridian, and the real origin of the name Heavenly Meridian.
Upon fully understanding this, the joy instantly surged in Ye Zhen’s heart.
His persistence finally brought immense rewards.
Perhaps becoming a Seven Vein Heavenly Meridian does not bring Ye Zhen immediate benefits, but in the future, merely Ye Zhen’s discovery of the true mystery of the Heavenly Meridian will bring unimaginable advantages.
At the very least, it could allow Ye Zhen to step into the Heavenly Pulse Warrior sequence.
Although unable to compare with those top-tier Eight Vein Heavenly Meridian, Nine Vein Heavenly Meridian warriors, or even the legendary Ten Extreme Meridian warriors, it does greatly reduce the gap between them.
Otherwise, if Ye Zhen were to break into the Establishment Realm with Six Vein innate bloodlines, the gap between him and the real Heavenly Meridian warriors would be too vast to bridge.
Almost as soon as he discovered this mystery, the world in Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense perception changed once more.
The ubiquitous water spiritual power seemed clearer in Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense perception, as if every movement contained endless mysteries.
Of course, it’s merely a vague perception, like a starting point of a grand path given to Ye Zhen in a fog, how far he can go all depends on him.
At the same instant, an inexplicable feeling suddenly came from within the Thunder Light Pearl, and in a flash, Ye Zhen felt that his perception of the Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl became somewhat different.
The Thunder Essence Dao Patterns of the Thunder Light Pearl originally too obscure to understand suddenly showed some semblance, as if there were traces to follow.
This feeling was strange, but it was indeed a tangible advantage.
Almost impatiently, Ye Zhen immediately cast his Divine Sense to carefully perceive….
Ye Zhen awoke again, summoned by the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
“Fourth brother, you were originally in comprehension, I should not interrupt you, but the Shuili Dan King sent a message half a day ago, successfully refining the Detoxification Pill, scheduled to explore the undersea canyon tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow’s exploration of the undersea canyon, though a rare opportunity, is extremely dangerous.
And you, during the process of meridian condensation, exhausted greatly, so as your brother, I had to wake you, interrupt your comprehension, there is still half a day, which should be enough for you to recover,” explained the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
“I was greedy, third brother protector has worked hard, also go to adjust your breath a bit, prepare for tomorrow’s exploration.”
Actually, the interruption of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint did not matter much; Ye Zhen’s recent comprehension wasn’t any kind of epiphany, just that he had stepped into the Heavenly Pulse sequence, and found the previously mysterious changes in the Heavenly Dao suddenly became not so mysterious.
The previously incomprehensible Thunder Essence Dao Patterns suddenly showed some traces, so he became enthusiastic and immersed himself in it.
It has to be said, Ye Zhen’s current consumption is very large, the spiritual power within the Dantian is less than one-tenth, almost depleted, and the four-colored innate soul light in the Soul Sea is scarcely one-tenth.
This state cannot cope with any high-intensity battle, and only Ye Zhen, if replaced by others, recovering spiritual power in half a day is possible, but definite recovering of divine soul power is impossible.
…..
On the fourth day, still during the Hour of Chen, all eight martial artists eligible to participate in this undersea exploration were, at the earliest moment, assembled at the dock of Shuili Island.
The Shuili Dan King arrived shortly after everyone gathered.
Today’s Shuili Dan King had changed his attire.
No longer in the previous ethereal cyan robe, but in a very fitting black water armor seemingly crafted from some beast’s hide.
The black water armor naturally exuded layers of water spiritual power, inscribed with numerous mysterious talisman patterns, it could be imagined that wearing this black water armor into the deep sea would not only greatly increase speed, but also significantly reduce the impact of water pressure.
Moreover, it wasn’t just the Shuili Dan King wearing the water armor.
Seeing the Shuili Dan King directly wearing water armor, Green Robe Dragon King, three Tower Chief Kui Otu, Yang Ben, Hei Tian, Xuanshui Palace Young Palace Master Leng Kang, and others all took off their outer robes, revealing various styles of exquisite water armor inside.
Clearly, each came prepared.
Otherwise, just the water pressure 4,000 li deep would be enough to trouble them, especially those like Green Robe Dragon King and Leng Kang, whose cultivation hadn’t yet broken into the Dao Entrance Realm.
Moreover, even if the cultivation has broken into the Dao Entrance Realm, the 4,000 li deep water pressure’s impact would be significant, otherwise, the Shuili Dan King wouldn’t have prepared the water armor.
What surprised Ye Zhen was that even Jie Tianhe wore an extremely exquisite black water armor adorned with ancient floral designs.
This made Ye Zhen puzzled, by Ye Zhen’s estimation, since Ye Zhen can ignore water pressure, obtaining the other half of Black Dragon Legacy and completely comprehending it, Jie Tianhe should also be able to ignore water pressure.
But the problem was, Jie Tianhe was also wearing a black Water Armor at this moment, which made Ye Zhen somewhat puzzled.
“Could it be that the abilities acquired from the split Black Dragon Legacy are different?” A thought suddenly flashed through Ye Zhen’s mind.
In the entire team, the only ones not wearing Water Armor were Ye Zhen and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint. As for the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, there was no need to mention; being of Demon Race origin, entering the water was akin to a dragon returning to the sea, why would he need to wear Water Armor?
Therefore, everyone’s gaze instantly focused on Ye Zhen.
“Ye, you truly live up to being the Fourth Saint of Heavenly Wing Island, diving four thousand miles deep into the sea without wearing Water Armor made from sea beast skin. The name Sea Suppression Great Saint is truly well-deserved!” Shuili Dan King exclaimed in admiration.
Shuili Dan King’s praise slightly altered the expressions of the others, and the gleam in Jie Tianhe’s eyes as he looked at Ye Zhen became even more pronounced.
Suddenly, eight Pill Bottles appeared in Shuili Dan King’s palm, and the moment they appeared, they slowly floated up, flying towards the eight people.
“Everyone, these Pills are the Nine Lotus Purification Pills I have been refining over the past three days. Each bottle contains two pills. Before confronting the Catfish Flood Dragon, you can take one pill to ward off the Catfish Flood Dragon’s poison!”
“Because the Catfish Flood Dragon’s entire body is pitch black, appearing like a dead object, its position is extremely difficult to detect, so after entering the water, please stay close to me!”
“Please!”
As he spoke, Shuili Dan King leaped up, tracing a graceful trajectory through the air, and swiftly plunged into the water.
In an instant, splashing sounds were endless as everyone quickly entered the water, closely following behind Shuili Dan King, fearing to fall behind.
While entering the water, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint intentionally positioned himself to Ye Zhen’s right, placing Ye Zhen on the far left and using his own body to separate Ye Zhen from Jie Tianhe, Yang Ben, Ou Tu, and the others.
This silent act touched Ye Zhen a little.
The Sea-Breaking Great Saint was afraid of those secretly attacking Ye Zhen, so he deliberately protected Ye Zhen.
First, since they were far from Shuili Island, the ban from Shuili Island wouldn’t reach here. Second, although Ye Zhen was strong in combat, Jie Tianhe and the others were too terrifying compared to Ye Zhen.
Under a sneak attack, with one careless move, Ye Zhen could end up doomed.
Shuili Dan King’s speed was extremely fast, and the brilliance emitted by the Water Armor he wore was like a Water Splitting Stinger, allowing each of his movements to cover several miles.
“Unexpectedly, King Peng Dan’s underwater skills are also this impressive! I wonder, in the sea, how fast can the Pill King reach? Can you show us?” Jie Tianhe suddenly transmitted this through Divine Soul Shock.
“Pill King, deep-sea diving is boring, why don’t we have a race for a small prize?” Jie Tianhe suggested.
“A prize?”
“Today, to deal with the Catfish Flood Dragon, didn’t we need two of us to first provoke and attract it? How about the last two to arrive take on this task?” Jie Tianhe proposed.
Jie Tianhe’s proposal surprised Shuili Dan King a bit, and he turned his gaze to the others, “What do you think of this idea?”
“In the end, two must take on the task of provoking the Catfish Flood Dragon. Why not decide now with this small prize, sparing the embarrassment of drawing lots at that time?” As if to cooperate, Stars Tower’s third chief, Ou Tu, added a sentence.
But no one noticed that when Ou Tu spoke, he glanced over Ye Zhen either intentionally or unintentionally.
With these two heavyweights agreeing, even Shuili Dan King had to consider it carefully.
“This isn’t a bad method, everyone, are you willing?” Shuili Dan King asked.
“Let’s try it, why not!”
“We’re all making a living at sea, who’s afraid of whom?” Yang Ben laughed heartily.
The others all agreed, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, Leng Kang, Ye Zhen, and the others had no objections.
“Since that’s the case, please keep up!”
Before the words even landed, King Peng Dan’s figure shot out like lightning.
“Ha, Pill King is fast!” With a hearty laugh, Jie Tianhe moved like a swimming dragon, directly chasing after Shuili Dan King.
In an instant, Shuili Dan King and Jie Tianhe vanished into the deep sea, leaving only a rolling wave as a guide for the others.
Everyone naturally rushed to chase, since provoking the Catfish Flood Dragon was a very dangerous task.
Ye Zhen and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint exchanged a glance, and simultaneously moved like a furious Flood Dragon, directly diving to the sea bottom.
And at that moment, both Ye Zhen and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s ears twitched simultaneously, as an extremely faint whistle suddenly spread from somewhere in the Undersea Canyon into all directions.
Hearing this sound, Ye Zhen didn’t react, but the Sea-Breaking Great Saint shuddered the instant the whistle entered his ears, his rapidly advancing body abruptly stalled, and even his breath became slightly unstable.
