“I don’t know if this is a natural phenomenon or influenced by other factors.”
Qin Changqing looked at the whirlpool, pondering.
Some natural dangers were also very dangerous.
Looking at it this way, it was necessary to increase body cultivation realm after reaching the Spirit Transformation stage.
In case one’s True Origin was suppressed, one could still rely on physical combat.
Liu Xinyue had already disappeared into the whirlpool. As Qin Changqing’s divine sense followed her in, he discovered that there was indeed a strange energy inside, preventing his divine sense from going too deep.
He looked around.
Qin Changqing thought and threw out a large number of Formation Flags.
Although they were in the sky above the ocean, they could still set up an array formation.
With Qin Changqing’s current proficiency in Array Formation, he could set up formations even in empty airspace.
Time passed, and Liu Xinyue had not returned.
That golden thread, however, stretched all the way to the center of the whirlpool.
Qin Changqing had already noticed sea beasts being attracted to the area by the commotion.
However, Qin Changqing had already used Concealment Array Formation to hide this area, and no sea beasts found him.
Although he could easily kill these sea beasts with his strength, he didn’t plan on creating trouble.
But the existence of the golden thread eventually attracted the attention of the sea beasts.
A sea beast suddenly leaped and charged towards the golden thread.
But before it could reach it, the sea beast was killed by a stream of light.
Qin Changqing did not even blink his eyes and continued to stare at the center of the whirlpool.
Time continued to flow.
Soon, half a day had passed, and Liu Xinyue had not returned.
More sea beasts were attracted by the golden thread and charged towards it.
But all these sea beasts became corpses, even if there were Third Order Sea Beasts among them.
Qin Changqing thought for a moment and set up a few more Formation Flags, causing the sea beasts to finally settle down. “Fourth Order Sea Beast!”
Qin Changqing detected a Fourth Order Sea Beast.
He took the initiative to attack, and the Feixian Sword was instantly unleashed. Although the Fourth Order Sea Beast was powerful, Qin Changqing managed to kill it.
With the death of the Fourth Order Sea Beast, it would be unlikely for another one to appear in a short time. The other sea beasts were also scared off and kept their distance.
“Has she not come out yet?”
But Liu Xinyue hadn’t come out, and almost a day had passed.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
The golden thread suddenly shook and then… broke all at once.
“It’s broken?”
Qin Changqing furrowed his brows.
It seemed like Liu Xinyue had encountered some danger!
Qin Changqing hesitated for a moment, then flew into the air and kept sending out hand seals.
As a result, Liu Xinyue’s magical treasures also emitted a golden light, forming a golden thread that wrapped around his waist.
With a single movement of his hand, Qin Changqing activated the Dayan Sword Array, which served as an automatic attack mode for the purpose of protecting the area.
Qin Changqing prepared to go down and check.
For Qin Changqing, this wasn’t too risky.
His strength was much stronger than Liu Xinyue’s, not to mention that the whirlpool only suppressed True Origin.
Don’t forget that Qin Changqing’s current body cultivation realm was also equivalent to the Golden Elixir Stage.
Even without the golden thread, he was confident in forcefully breaking out.
Soon, he plunged into the black hole at the center of the whirlpool. There were rapidly rotating currents around him. These currents formed a unique natural domain in the center of the whirlpool, capable of suppressing True Origin.
Moreover, there was a suction force coming from below.
It was this suction force that caused the existence of the whirlpool.
Qin Changqing quickly descended.
His speed got faster and faster. In less than half an hour, Qin Changqing reached the seabed.
There, Qin Changqing saw a building covered in seaweed and Liu Xinyue lying unconscious in an underwater square.
The suppression of True Origin in this area was indeed too powerful, and Qin Changqing could not use much of his True Origin at the moment.
“Xinyue.”
He flew to Liu Xinyue’s side and fed her an elixir.
Looking at her hand, she was tightly gripping a white pearl.
Was this the treasure she was looking for?
Qin Changqing picked her up, intending to leave. The suppression in this area was too intense, and a terrifying suction force threatened to pull them deeper into the dark abyss.
Just as he picked her up, the eyes of the mermaid wearing a crown in Qin Changqing’s storage bag for the crystal coffin suddenly opened.
“She’s not dead!”
As soon as the mermaid’s eyes opened, Qin Changqing noticed it.
With the mermaid’s eyes open, the storage bag’s space began to collapse.
This kind of storage bag could not contain living creatures, and living creatures could not enter it.
If a powerful cultivator forcefully stuffed a living creature in, the space inside would collapse.
In situations like this one, the mermaid was in a state similar to death when she was put inside.
As a result, the mermaid suddenly opened her eyes and came back to life.
The storage bag’s space could no longer hold up.
Qin Changqing didn’t hesitate and let out the crystal coffin.
Otherwise, even if the storage bag’s space couldn’t hold up, the crystal coffin would still have to come out.
It would be better to save one storage bag.
The crystal coffin landed next to them.
Qin Changqing saw that the mermaid’s eyes were already open.
Her eyes were a deep blue color, like the ocean.
Not the same as the blue eyes of Westerners that Qin Changqing knew from before his transmigration, her eyes were even more beautiful. At this time, her eyes seemed somewhat lifeless, merely open.
However, a shocking change had already occurred.
From the surrounding whirlpool waters, strands of gentle energy rapidly flew towards the crystal coffin, entering the mermaid’s body.
“No wonder the four mermen wanted to use the Mermaid Pearl as a bargaining chip to have someone enter the Prohibition Formation and bring her back to the sea.”
Seeing this scene, Qin Changqing understood.
It seemed that the mermaid had used some kind of secret technique to put herself in a state similar to false death or being sealed in ice.
An ordinary person, through chance encounters, might be sealed in ice for many years.
At the time, the mermaid’s strength was definitely at the Deifying stage. It was by putting herself in a false death or ice-sealed state that she successfully endured the long years and lived till now.
However, such a method surely couldn’t be used at will; it required many prerequisites and the use of corresponding secret techniques or tools.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t those four Nascent Soul stage mermen use such methods?
And why wouldn’t the cultivators from the Immortal Gate use such methods?
Her method of awakening was likely by being submerged in seawater and absorbing the energy in the water.
Having been sealed in the crystal coffin for so long, her strength was probably not much left.
Of course, a camel’s hump might be thin, but she should still have Nascent Soul stage strength.
At this moment, the mysterious energy in the seawater was being rapidly absorbed by her.
“This place is her blessing in disguise!”
Qin Changqing realized this point.
For cultivators, this place was extremely dangerous, but for the mermaid, it was her advantage.
No wonder so many sea beasts were attracted by the whirlpool.
If this mermaid was in another place, it might take her hundreds of years to recover her cultivation.
In this place, she probably wouldn’t need much time to recover!
