The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 481
Chapter 481 Entering The Blue Hole
“Here we are!” Fairy Blue Smoke stopped. This was already the edge of the blue hole, and in front of it was the famous blue hole. The seawater was clearly dark blue.
It could be seen that they were the same piece of seawater, and there was no obvious separation, but there were actually two colors-deep blue inside the circle and light blue outside the circle, which was normal seawater.
“Isn’t the difference in color too obvious? It can be said to be completely different!” Li Qing clicked his tongue in amazement. He couldn’t help but reach out and grab a wisp of seawater from the blue hole. After carefully observing it for a while, he discovered that it was actually just ordinary seawater. There was nothing special about it.
“Why did it appear like this?” He asked curiously.
“We have studied the secrets of the Blue Hole for countless years, but we don’t have any clue about it. Your question is for nothing.” Fairy Blue Smoke shook her head.
“What should I do next?” Li Qing asked.
Fairy Blue Smoke pointed out, “Go to the center of the blue hole and dive to the seabed. There is no special way to enter.”
“So simple? If an outsider were to fly down from the sky, how could you stop him?” Li Qing asked in surprise.
“There’s a defensive array already set up. It’s impossible to fly in from the sky. We can only enter the blue hole from the nearby islands.” Fairy Blue Smoke smiled.
Li Qing nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go in now.”
After bidding farewell to the fairies, he walked to the center of the circular waters and dived into the blue hole.
At first, he didn’t feel anything, but when he dived several dozen feet, he could clearly feel a faint pressure.
This was not water pressure, but another type of pressure. It was inexplicable and ubiquitous. It should have originated from the blue hole itself.
Moreover, there was a cold aura in the water. It was invisible and seeped into one’s body, causing one to feel a little uncomfortable. This should be the dark energy that Fairy Blue Smoke had mentioned.
Li Qing had no intention of exploring the secrets of the blue hole. He immediately raised his True Essence Shield and quickly rushed under the water. After diving several hundred feet, he encountered a figure sitting cross-legged, cultivating.
This was a young woman dressed in blue. She was at the 3rd level of the Xiantian Realm.
“He should be a disciple of the Indigo Aquatic Manor!” He guessed. The Blue Hole could enter three people at a time. Apart from this outsider, there must be two other disciples of the Indigo Aquatic Manor cultivating here.
Seeing that this person was cultivating wholeheartedly and unaware of the outside world, Li Qing naturally wouldn’t disturb him. He drilled down and continued to dive.
About a thousand feet away, he encountered a second disciple of the Indigo Aquatic Manor. This person’s cultivation was even higher. He had the strength of the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm, so he was able to cultivate in such a deep position.
The stronger a person was, the deeper they would be able to dive, and the slower the flow of time would be.
As soon as Li Qing dived into this position, the woman immediately opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar man appear in the blue hole. She couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Who are you? How dare you barge into the blue hole?” The woman scolded. All the disciples in the blue hole were women. Now that she saw a man suddenly appear in the sect’s important area, she was naturally shocked.
Li Qing smiled and said, “I came in through a normal way. You don’t have to be too surprised. Continue cultivating. I’ll go down first.”
Ignoring her surprised gaze, he continued to dive deeper.
According to Fairy Blue Smoke, the deeper the location, the slower the flow of time. Of course, Li Qing had to choose a deeper location.
Two thousand zhang, three thousand zhang… about five thousand zhang, he felt the pressure.
“This position is almost the limit. My physical body is so powerful that I can only sneak down to 5,000 feet. I wonder what the limit of a Void Realm expert is.” Li Qing muttered to himself.
It was pitch black, cold and deathly silent. There were no living things, not even the mayflies that were common in the sea.
The pressure was extremely great, and it was almost impossible for one to cultivate normally. Moreover, the spiritual energy was extremely thin, and dark energy filled the surroundings, causing great effects on one’s body.
However, the benefits were obvious. In this place, the flow of time had already reached an extremely slow level. After staying here for a year, half a day might have passed outside.
“The pressure is enormous, the spiritual energy is thin, and the dark energy is abundant. This extreme position is indeed unable to allow people to cultivate normally. Ordinary Xiantian Tenth Layer experts would probably choose a position of around two thousand feet.” Li Qing smiled faintly, “But these problems don’t exist for me.”
He took out the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle and sighed, “With this intact Dao Artifact, it’s much more convenient to do anything!”
Spiritual Qi was thin? He had the Spirit Formation Pool, so there was no lack of spiritual energy!
Dark energy corrodes the soul? He had already condensed his primordial spirit, so what was there to fear?
A lot of pressure? He hid inside the bottle and could isolate any pressure.
Perhaps it was the will of heaven in the dark. The results of his trip to the Spirit Sea had actually perfectly restrained the flaws of the blue hole.
“Doesn’t that mean that I can cultivate for as long as I want?” Li Qing was delighted in his heart. “After cultivating here for eight to ten years, it may only be a few days in the outside world. Take your time. There’s no rush.”
He entered the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle and thought to himself, “Since there is a Yin Yang Chaos Bottle, it seems that he can continue to dive down.”
The deeper the location, the slower the flow of time. Of course, the deeper the better.
He controlled the Yin Yang Chaos Aquarius and continued to dive towards the seabed. Six thousand zhang, seven thousand zhang, eight thousand zhang … It was not until ten thousand zhang that Li Qing felt the pressure.
This pressure was not exerted on him, but on the Yin Yang Chaos Bottle.
The Yin Yang Primordial Chaos Bottle was a Dao Artifact that was indestructible, but Li Qing had to consume True Essence to control this bottle. The pressure here was so great that he had consumed too much True Essence. On the contrary, the gains weren’t worth the losses. After all, he still had to concentrate on cultivating.
‘”According to Fairy Blue Smoke, the speed of time in the Blue Hole is about one day a year faster than that in the outside world. And this is the bottom of the ocean. Isn’t it five years faster than that in the outside world?” Li Qing secretly guessed.
This algorithm may not be accurate, but it probably won’t be far off. After practicing here for almost five years, only one day had passed outside. This would buy him enough time!
What he lacked the most was time. Even though his talent was unparalleled, his body was perfect, and he was the only Saint Grade Xiantian in history, it was impossible for his strength to soar in a short period of time. There was no shortcut to cultivation.
Actually, his cultivation speed was already fast enough. One had to know that the young geniuses of his generation, such as the Wind Lightning Swordsman and the others, were probably still at the sixth level of the Xiantian realm, and he was already heading towards the Void Realm.
However, he still felt that it wasn’t fast enough!
As his strength increased, the enemies he faced would become more and more powerful! In order to rescue Liu Ke’er, she had to obtain even greater strength.
The blue hole could help him save time. This was the benefit he dreamed of the most.
The Soul Formation Pool in the bottle had already evolved to an extremely perfect level. A lake the size of a hundred kilometers was filled with translucent and sparkling spiritual liquid. Spiritual Qi was almost inexhaustible.
Li Qing sat on the shore of the lake and quietly cultivated.
In the outside world, Fairy Blue Smoke and the others were waiting on the shore, planning to wait here for Han Tie’s return. In any case, it was only a few days, so they could afford to wait.
A day later, a figure rushed out from inside. Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was a disciple who had entered the Deepblue Water Manor before.
“It’s not Han Tie. It’s impossible for him to come out so quickly.”
After the disciple rushed out of the water, he saw a few fairies on the shore and immediately walked over to salute them, “Greetings, Martial Uncles!”
Fairy Blue Smoke chatted with her for a moment and asked about the cultivation in the blue hole. Then, she let her go.
Another day later, another figure rushed out. This was another disciple of the Indigo Aquatic Manor, at the seventh level of the Xiantian realm.
She walked over and bowed, “Greetings, Senior Sister Lan Yan. I saw an unfamiliar man in the blue hole. May I ask if he has your permission?”
“That’s right! I let him in.” Fairy Blue Smoke nodded.
“Fortunately, I thought he had barged in from the outside.” The woman heaved a sigh of relief.
“How deep did he dive?”
“I’m not too sure. The place I cultivate is around 1000 feet. He didn’t stay there, but continued to dive down.” The man replied.
“Looks like he wants to cultivate deeper. With Han Tie’s strength, he should be able to dive to around two thousand feet.”
This was their experience from a long time ago. A position of 2,000 feet was probably the most suitable location for a Xiantian tenth layer expert. There may be errors in the actual situation, but the range should not be too far off.
If you want to pursue your limits, you may still be able to continue diving, but the tremendous pressure and dark energy will make it impossible for you to concentrate on cultivating. Therefore, two thousand feet is the most suitable location for the tenth level of the Xiantian realm.
“If it was two thousand feet away, I guess Han Tie would have stayed there for three years. If it was the outside world, it would have been three days.” Liu Yuemei smiled.
It was not easy to make a trip to the Blue Hole. Ordinary people would definitely not come out so easily. They should be able to stay for a sufficient amount of time. After all, there was only one chance, and if he wanted to come back in the future, he probably wouldn’t have any chance.
“In three years, to what extent do you think Han Tie can cultivate?” Yun Qingqian said.
“This person is at the eighth level of the Xiantian realm, but he hasn’t reached the peak yet. If he cultivates for three years, he should be able to reach the peak of the eighth level.” Fairy Blue Smoke guessed.
Yun Qingqian nodded, “That’s right, it should be at the peak of the Xiantian 8th layer. It’s impossible to break through to the Xiantian 9th layer. Three years is still too short.”
