Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1124

Deep Dive

“What if Xiang Nan teleports back here while we’re gone?” Mu Yu questioned.

“Good point.” Cheng Yan stopped to think. “I’ll go, and you wait for them. We’re all going back.”

“I’ll go with you since I have Reflection Compass.”

“All right.”

After a while of flying, Mu Yu pointed out, “The compass isn’t picking up on them.”

“Let’s speed up.”

Seeing the two come back with Xiaoshuai two hours later, Lie Shang asked, “Why are you three back? Where’s Xiang Nan?”

“This isn’t making sense. They should’ve returned if we have. Could they have run into something?” Mu Yu voiced.

“Would they have already found a way out?” Ximen Buxing proposed.

“Whatever the case, we must find Xiang Nan,” Cheng Yan responded.

Xiao Ran opined, “You sure your priority shouldn’t be to get out of here? Since Bai Jie could destroy Ultimate Immortals Monument, it means that he has conquered Perfect World’s restrictions. Third Heaven Palace is likely engulfed in the flames of war now. It’s not wise to dither here.”

“Why should we care about their lives? What’s it to you?” snapped Lie Shang.

“It doesn’t. I’m just kindly reminding you. If you don’t like what you hear, pretend I never mentioned it.”

“Let’s find a way out first,” Cheng Yan recommended.

“What about Xiang Nan?” Lie Shang pulled his brows together.

“Leave if you find a way. I’ll stay and search for Xiang Nan,” answered Cheng Yan.

The question was, how were they going to overcome the water’s threat.

“Xiaoshuai, you know how to set up Teleporting Handsome Formation, right?” Mu Yu asked.

“Of course I do. It’s blessed with my name.”

“In that case, you’re the only one who can stay in my Wood Spirit without drowning. Accordingly, I’m going to drop you into the ocean. If you find an exit, draw the formation up to teleport us out, okay?”

“I’ll fall asleep down there!”

“You’re heartless and tough. If there is an exit, I’ll try waking you up.”

“Why didn’t you do so before you entered the monument?” Wanwan questioned. “We might already be outside if you did.”

“I didn’t see this coming. Besides, Ancient Battleground is too far from Third Heaven Palace for the formation to function,” Mu Yu elucidated.

“You better protect me. If Mu Yu’s wood spirit is torn apart, you’ll have lost me for good.” Xiaoshuai took a bite of his apple.

“Don’t worry. Cheng Yan and Qiao Xue will protect you with their Metal and Earth Spirits. The three of us will escort you.”

“That’s more like it.”

Mu Yu drew up several Teleporting Handsome Formations and embossed Wood Spirit with several teleportation locations so that Xiaoshuai could then set them down. Mu Yu then transformed Wood Spirit into a square metre large house with a wooden bed and furniture according to Xiaoshuai’s desires. Once Xiaoshuai collected his blanket and drumsticks from Mu Yu he entered his cottage. “You can shut it now.”

Wood Spirit could float perfectly fine, so Mu Yu made it sink. Cheng Yan’s Metal Spirit took the left, while Qiao Xue’s Water Spirit escorted Xiaoshuai on the right. Wood Spirit and Water Spirit started getting intimate.

“We need to have a talk when we get back,” Qiao Xue communicated straight to Mu Yu’s head.

“Brother Cheng Yan is right here. Worry about Xiaoshuai first!”

“Hmph.”

Meanwhile, sulky Tian Ran watched from A-Dai’s shoulder.

Mu Yu sensed Xiaoshuai fall deep asleep before the latter could finish his apple. Fortunately, Mu Yu could still receive feedback on the surroundings – minus a visual owing to light deprivation underwater. The pressure underwater gradually intensified over two hours until it was enough to have an Apotheosis Realm cultivator writhing.

“What’s with this pressure?” Mu Yu turned to Cheng Yan for answers to no avail “Wait! This is the dimensional barrier’s pressure that I felt when travelling from Second Heaven back to Third Heaven!”

“You’re saying that the bottom of Nightmare Shore is a dimensional barrier? That would mean Ancient Battleground is an independent world that hovers in a dimensional rift?” Cheng Yan questioned.

“We can work it out later. For now, we need to monitor Xiaosh-”

Splash! The ocean erupted against the timber house, and a big tentacle crept out to swat away Metal Spirit as well as Water Spirit.

“What is this now?!”

The trio struggled to steer their items back on track as they had been stretched so far down. In the meantime, the tentacle coiled around Xiaoshuai’s house and tried to wrest it from Mu Yu’s hold. As a result, all three were pulled dozens of metres underwater before they knew it.

Qiao Xue screamed, head feeling as though it would burst while her Water Spirit returned to her without her calling for it.
