Even in the undersea world, where the water pressure and resistance are immense, Yun Zong’s sword strike was still awe-inspiring.
The entire sea floor seemed to tremble slightly.
The two of them felt a ringing in their ears.
In their line of sight, that stone door didn’t budge at all.
Yun Zong’s expression changed, astonished, "How can a mere stone door be so sturdy?"
Linglong said, "Let me try."
She wielded her magic sword and slashed fiercely at the stone door.
In the muffled sound, the sea floor trembled lightly again, yet countless specks of dust spilled from around the stone door, turning the surroundings murky.
However, as the two waved away the murkiness, the stone door remained motionless.
But it did bear two deep sword marks.
The two exchanged a glance, seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
With their cultivation, using their life-bound magic swords, a sword strike’s power could not split a mountain, but any stone should be shattered.
Even the strongest stone in the Central Great World should crack under a strike from them.
Yet this rather ordinary-looking bluestone gate was so solid that both could only leave faint sword marks with their strikes.
"Did you sense any formations or defenses here?" Linglong asked.
Yun Zong thought carefully and shook his head, "No, if there were Rune Tao power on this stone door, it should have reacted when it was attacked, but I didn’t feel it."
Linglong said, "When Senior Brother struck earlier, I also didn’t sense any rune or formation fluctuations."
"That’s strange; how can such a hard bluestone exist on this small, low-level planet?"
Yun Zong said this with an unsatisfied expression and slashed again three times.
Yet, the bluestone gate still didn’t move; no matter how thick and heavy it was, it withstood strikes that even the Divine Continent Fighter couldn’t handle, leaving only five more marks.
"Junior Sister, do you have any powerful Spiritual Treasures given by Uncle Master Yue?" Yun Zong asked.
Linglong’s eyes flickered, and she shook her head, "My Master’s Spiritual Treasure is for self-preservation, it has no special effect on breaking this door, it would be a waste to use it."
Yun Zong chuckled bitterly and transmitted, "Then we’ll have to go back to the other senior brothers and come up with another plan."
Linglong said, "After Senior Brother Du recovers, let him come down. His Golden Crow Technique will definitely have a carbonizing and calcifying effect on the bluestone, and with the seawater soaking, the stone door will surely be damaged."
Yun Zong’s eyes brightened, "Junior Sister, you’re indeed smart, that’s a good idea."
The two of them had stayed in the deep sea for too long and could hardly take it anymore; they needed to breathe, so they both floated to the surface.
Outside, Ye Wuya and the others had waited for a full half hour before the two returned, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Junior Brother and Sister, are you all right?" Ye Wuya asked with concern.
Especially looking at Linglong, as if anything happened to this little junior sister, he wouldn’t have a good time back home.
Linglong shook her head, "I’m fine."
The two only moved slightly and then recovered greatly.
Yun Zong told them what they had discovered below the sea, "That stone door, Linglong and I can’t break it; we might need Junior Brother Du’s help."
Du Hui nodded, "I’ll take a look."
Ye Wuya quickly held him back, "No rush, let Yun Zong and Linglong rest a bit, and we can go down together."
"Yun Zong Senior Brother, is there really a sect down there?" someone asked curiously.
Yun Zong replied, "It seems there was once a Cultivation Sect here. Linglong and I recognize the words ’White Jade City,’ there’s no mistake, and the words have been there for a very long time."
Du Hui was surprised, "So, this planet once had cultivators?"
Yun Zong said, "There should be cultivators now, just at a low realm. It’s just unknown how strong White Jade City was before."
Linglong added, "Perhaps White Jade City was a sect, or maybe it was a Cave Heaven Blessed Land excavated by a senior from the Central Great World."
In their bones, they carried an inexplicable pride from the Central Great World.
In their understanding, the Central Great World is the strongest cultivation world; for thousands of years, no newly discovered galaxy has had cultivators stronger than the Great World.
So, even if this planet called Earth once had powerful cultivators, they must have come from the Central Great World.
However, in the long history of the cultivation world, this cultivation senior has long since fallen, and this place—whether it’s the name of a cave or a sect—White Jade City, is unknown to the Central Great World.
Du Hui, Linglong, and Yun Zong each took a Replenishing Essence Pill and recuperated for a while, restoring their peak condition.
Ye Wuya said, "Yun Zong, you lead the way."
Saying this, he used Divine Thought to notify the two junior brothers on the Divine Wind Treasure Ship to guard outside just in case.
After those two arrived, the six of them proceeded in single file, jumping into the deep sea.
Ten minutes later, the six of them arrived in front of the White Jade City stone door.
Seeing such a door appearing in an undersea world with their own eyes, Ye Wuya and the others, although experienced, were slightly astonished.
Du Hui approached the stone door, reaching out to touch it, silently reciting a spell, a dazzling golden light burst from his palm and instantly covered the massive bluestone gate.
With the naked eye, the bluestone gate’s surface instantly turned red-hot, birthing a plume of white smoke with a continuous bubbling sound.
Everyone inhaled a strong scent of burning in their noses.
The sound of explosions echoed from the bluestone gate.
Just like a boulder that has been burned for a long time thrown into icy water, it couldn’t withstand the alternation of heat and cold, shattering directly.
With the continuous sound of explosions, huge chunks of the bluestone layers on the gate cracked and fell away.
Even though they had known of Du Hui’s technique, witnessing the scene, including Ye Wuya, all Lingxiao Sect disciples were shocked, gasping inwardly.
What a domineering cultivation technique.
No wonder it’s the most domineering fire attribute cultivation technique of the Lingxiao Sect, the Golden Crow Technique. Latest content published on novel⸺fire.net
It’s hard to imagine, if Du Hui’s move hit their bodies, the flesh would likely be scorched in an instant.
The body of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could not withstand such a domineering attack.
Moments later, the dust settled.
As they looked on, their expressions changed drastically.
The massive bluestone gate still stood in their way.
Though its surface had been stripped of a large layer, it still existed.
Ye Wuya transmitted, "Du Junior Brother, let me try."
Du Hui, having depleted quite a bit with the move, hurriedly stepped aside upon hearing this.
Ye Wuya dashed into place in front of the bluestone gate and struck it with his right palm.
Mountain Opening Palm!
With a rumble, as the palm force landed on the bluestone gate, a loud crash rang out, and rocks shattered and scattered.
Under the violent palm force, the heavily damaged bluestone gate, which had suffered greatly from Du Hui’s Golden Crow Technique, ultimately couldn’t resist the power of Ye Wuya’s Mountain Opening Palm, collapsing, revealing a dark corridor ahead.
Following that, a rich and majestic wave of spiritual energy rushed over them.
