1355 DEEP SAPPHIRE ISLAND

While everyone marveled at the Island, Lin Mu found the twin snakes moving under his sleeves.

“Oh? You two woke up as well?” Lin Mu lifted his hands, as the twins came out of it.

~hiss~

The twins let out a low hiss before climbing up his arms and coming to rest on his shoulders.

‘They seem to be interested in this too, huh...’ Lin Mu thought. ‘They are not hungry at least... it won’t be good if they go on a hunting spree here without us knowing more about it.’ He reckoned.

“The twin snakes are certainly different, the way their aura is and its nature is extremely unique.” Xukong spoke seeing the twins.

“It is right? I thought so too.” Lin Mu replied.

“Mmmhmm, in my lifetime I’ve seen countless creature, but none of their aura is like this. They are certainly unique... the first of their kind that I’m seeing with my eyes.” Xukong stated.

He had been rather interested in the twin snakes too, since he was unable to find their origin. For someone like Xukong, this had to be almost impossible. After all, even if their origin was entirely unique, there should have been fractional similarities with other beings.

And yet... there were none.

While Xukong was thinking this, Lin Mu asked a question. “What do you think about this Island Senior? It seems like a good place to cultivate.”

“Hmm... the Qi concentration here is decently high. Both the Immortal Qi and Spirit Qi is good enough for most sects to like it. While it isn’t good enough to be a sacred land, it is still descent.” Xukong gave his opinion.

Of course, this opinion was in content with an immortal world like the Rust Sky world. If this same island was compared to the Xiaofan world, it would be the utterly best land for cultivation.

The group continued onwards and soon exited the forest, coming upon a large lake in the center of the island. The water of this lake was crystal clear, allowing one to see its depths vividly.

And it was here that the people were stunned.

“Is that... a hole?” Immortal Taegu asked in surprise.

Since the lake water was very clear, one could see a deep, dark hole in its center. The hole wasn’t abruptly formed though, instead it seemed to be progressively slanting from the edges of the lake.

The bottom of the lake started to taper until it formed into a hole in the center.

Still, in context with the lake that was nearly a kilometer in size, the hole was about a hundred meters wide. The crystal clear waters of the lake contrasted with the black patch in the center, making it look a little eerie.

“This is the entrance to the true safe haven of the Haima tribe.” Elder Niji spoke.

“How do we get there, then? Are we supposed to swim?” Lin Mu asked.

“Let me just show you,” Elder Niji said and came to stand on top of the lake.

His feet firmly propped him on top of the water, not letting him sink.

The elder then spread his arms apart, making the lake water tremble under him.

~SHUA~

A few seconds later, the water started to part, forming a ‘V’ shaped area. It looked like a water fall had suddenly come into existence in the center of the lake and looked rather amazing.

The water was now falling into the hole in the center, making it look somewhat like a water slide at an amusement part.

“Everyone just needs to jump in. The water will take you to the very bottom of the ocean.” Elder Niji instructed.

~gulp~

Though the humans weren’t fully sure about this.

“Is this... Umm... safe?”

“Yeah, isn’t the ocean bed supposed to be hundreds of kilometer deep?”

The humans had several questions.

“Don’t worry, the water isn’t just for show. There is in fact, a formation array controlling it all. It will safely take you all to the bottom.” Elder Niji assured.

“Come on now! I’ll take the lead.” Lin Mu spoke, stepping toward. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

He was in fact, excited to do this.

~STEP~

~SHUA~

Lin Mu stepped off the edge of the lake, jumping directly into the falling water.

~GUSH~

“WOOOO~” Lin Mu felt like a child again, going down the water.

His body was protected from the water due to the Mortal Strengthening Scripture’s armor, so he didn’t need to deal with wet clothes at all. In all senses, it was the perfect way to enjoy a water slide.

Lin Mu soon reached the mouth of the hole and was carried into it along with the water.

“Oh? The water isn’t actually going down straight?” Lin Mu found himself to be carried in a spiral.

The water was swirling around an invisible tube of some kind that Lin Mu couldn’t perceive directly. His spirit sense simply felt like there was a barrier of some kind there, but couldn’t tell what.

~SNAP~

Lin Mu ignited a bright ball of fire in his palm, illuminating the area and dispelling the darkness.

“Whoa!” it was now that he saw a dazzling scene he would remember for a long time to come.

The light of fire spread to several kilometer away into the water, allowing Lin Mu to see that there was actually a restriction all around him. This restriction wasn’t exactly like a barrier, but instead served to repel the ocean water.

This made an empty pocket of air that allowed one to travel through it. But this combined with the spiraling water made it feel like a large an elaborate water slide.

“There are so many beasts!” Lin Mu’s eyes wandered around, taking the sights of the ocean in.

He could see fishes of many kinds rushing past the ‘tube’ along with large aquatic beasts. There were crabs the size of hills scuttling past them while a school of fish beasts chased them.

Then there was a large octopus nearly two kilometers long circling around the ‘tube’.
