Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 1441 - 780: Blood-Written Death Omen, Weak Water World

Chapter 1441: Chapter 780: Blood-Written Death Omen, Weak Water World

Looking at the lines of blood inscriptions, Zhao Sheng frowned slightly and involuntarily glanced at Qi Wu Yan beside him, only to see the other person’s face change dramatically, looking extremely shocked.

"...How could this be? It...it has appeared again. This is terrible!" Qi Wu Yan muttered to himself, his face pale, his tone filled with despair.

Zhao Sheng’s gaze swept over the blood inscriptions on the eastern portal, and saw that it read: "My name is Zhao Wuming. By the time you see this sentence, I am already dead."

At the same time, above the western portal it read: "Kuimu Xiao died by self-immolation."

Above the other two portals, it was written: "There is a road to heaven you don’t take, and yet you insist on entering the doorless hell" and "Today, Stone Jade drowned here."

Looking across, each of the blood inscriptions not only exuded a chilling murderous aura but was also filled with mockery and eeriness.

Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze and asked in a deep voice, "Taoist Qi, the ’it’ you mentioned, what kind of deity is it?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Wu Yan’s expression stabilized, and he was about to answer, but was interrupted by a burst of wild laughter.

Not far away, Stone Jade was laughing and rolling on the ground, mocking as he rolled: "Haha! Laozi is really going to die laughing. Who doesn’t know that Laozi is a stubborn stone, huh. Can a stone drown? Utterly ridiculous! Hahaha..."

With Stone Jade’s interruption, the atmosphere immediately eased considerably.

Qi Wu Yan calmed down and began to explain: "I once went through all records of our ancestors. Only in one stone book did I read an ambiguous sentence. It is: ’The White Tower has a spirit, long sleep or wake, life and death are equally difficult!’"

Zhao Sheng immediately pressed further: "Is there anything else?"

Qi Wu Yan shook his head, his tone heavy: "That’s all, just this one sentence. However, after this sentence, there is a large blank space, which should have contained a lot of related records, but it seems to have been erased by some unknown force out of thin air."

At this time, Kuimu Xiao suddenly spoke: "Hmm...which door should we choose next?"

Its voice was exceptionally sharp and piercing, sounding like an iron saw ceaselessly sawing wood, no wonder it always kept silent.

Hearing this, Stone Jade leaped up from the ground and sneered: "Haha, still need to choose? Just choose the northern door. Laozi was born not believing in evil, let’s see how Laozi drowns here!"

Zhao Sheng was stunned by this, feeling deeply uneasy, and wondered secretly: "Since entering here, why does Stone Jade seem as if he has lost his mind? Facing an unknown dangerous place, how can he be so reckless?

But this is also good, much better than choosing the eastern portal."

Thinking this, Zhao Sheng immediately agreed: "I concur with Mr. Shi’s suggestion, let’s also choose the northern portal."

Seeing this, Qi Wu Yan nodded accordingly: "In that case, let’s not delay and set off immediately."

Kuimu Xiao twisted its massive body, showing no objections at all.

"Hehe, Laozi will go in first." After a cold chuckle, Stone Jade instantly transformed into a streak of flowing light and disappeared into the northern portal without a trace.

At this moment, Qi Wu Yan turned his head to look over at Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I will go in second, Taoist Qi third, and Mr. Kui will bring up the rear."

With that, he took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared behind the portal.

In the next moment, Zhao Sheng just felt a blur before his eyes and suddenly plunged into water.

The surrounding seawater was incomparably cold, not only chilling to the bone but also dark and profound, where almost nothing was visible.

Zhao Sheng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly unleashed a will field, as a golden light flashed around him.

In an instant, he was greatly alarmed, for the will field he had just released was immediately consumed by the surrounding seawater.

No matter how he activated the will field, once it left his body, it would be completely devoured by the sea water.

The next second, an even more frightening thing happened!

Zhao Sheng flailed his arms, trying to swim to the surface, but no matter how he struggled, his body sank downward like a rock, straight into the depths.

The surrounding sea actually had no buoyancy whatsoever?!

In a flash of inspiration, Zhao Sheng suddenly recalled a record from ancient books: "The Northern Netherworld is surrounded by weak water, where even three thousand feathers may not float, and only a true immortal may cross!"

"Could it be...this is weak water?!" Zhao Sheng, horrified, struggled once more, yet his body continued to sink into the endless abyss below. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Luckily..."

At that thought, Zhao Sheng suddenly activated Space-Time Teleportation, and his figure appeared out of nowhere in a certain high location.

Below, two hundred zhang down, lay a vast and boundless ocean, its waters dark and lifeless, with no sign of any living creatures.

Once more releasing his will field, Zhao Sheng’s entire body was immediately surrounded by thunder light, and he remained suspended mid-air.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng was horrified to discover that his will field was inexplicably being consumed at an astonishing speed, a rate many hundreds of times faster than usual.

If this continued, even with his power, he could last no more than an hour at most.

A few breaths later, the seawater below suddenly surged violently, as if a colossal creature was rising from undersea.

In the next instant, an emerald green tree suddenly broke through the sea surface, rapidly expanding and growing taller.

In the blink of an eye, the treetop had grown to Zhao Sheng’s level, and at the center of the trunk below, a gigantic face was slowly forming, its features quickly becoming clear and vivid.

Hmm?!

Zhao Sheng’s Divine Eye was like lightning, and he immediately saw a shivering figure clinging to a certain branch of the tree crown; who else could it be but Qi Wu Yan.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng slowly descended, landing soon on a branch several zhang away, and spoke: "Taoist Qi, are you alright?"

Qi Wu Yan, still shaken, replied in a trembling voice: "I’m fine, just... just wondering how Senior Shi is doing now?"

At this, Zhao Sheng glanced over the sea surface below and shook his head: "Mr. Shi is a spiritual stone, not easy to kill. Now we should be considering how to leave this place?"

After saying that, he looked around but saw no shadow of any portals.

Having regained his composure, Qi Wu Yan steadily stated: "The four portals should be hidden under the water."

At this point, he patted the tree trunk nearby and gently said: "I must trouble Senior Kui Mu to search around for Senior Shi and the portals."

"Sure!" The giant face on the tree trunk slowly opened its eyes and spoke a single word.

The next second, the towering tree shook violently, and suddenly countless dark green vines cascaded from deep within the tree crown, densely entwining like green pythons dancing in the air.

The innumerable vines grew at a rapid pace, diving into the sea surface and immediately stirring up a vast wave.

The seawater churned violently, as though countless massive shadows roiled beneath, turning the sea upside down.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s gaze focused, and he silently raised his assessment of Kuimu Xiao.

Soon after, the sea surface suddenly calmed, with countless vines retracting and withdrawing from the water.

"Found... it...!"

Kuimu Xiao spoke again, but its voice was laborious, seemingly very tired.
