In the seawater, Chen Chuan continued to descend with Talu . At first, there was still light, but as they descended deeper, it became increasingly dark, and everything around gradually blurred.
However, this didn't have much of an influence on him. A Martial Artist's senses, after mutation, are extremely sharp. Even without those, both Spiritual Power and the emitted energy field could help him clearly perceive the changes in the outside world.
Talu in front made a gesture, the meaning of which he immediately understood, telling him that the entrance was not far ahead.
However, he couldn't sense anything, even when his Spiritual Power was released to its maximum limit, he still gained nothing.
It seemed that this kind of long-term, stable Fissure was indeed different from the kind of Fissure that suddenly erupted.
The Fissure seen in Central City would erupt with bright light and strong airflow, and many creatures would emerge from it, its presence was very strong, but here he couldn't detect even a trace. No wonder it was lost after the initial discovery and couldn't be found again.
This made him quite admire the previous generation of Talu who rediscovered this Fissure. Back then, she didn't know the exact location, and it wasn't certain whether this Fissure really existed. Just thinking about searching for such a place in the vast sea was despairing.
As they continued to descend, Talu in front suddenly disappeared from his senses. His heart stirred slightly, and he continued to descend towards where she had disappeared. Immediately, he felt the surrounding seawater suddenly receding from him.
The next moment, he felt his feet on solid ground, standing in a place that glowed with a shimmering light. The entire space was like a wide hall, with rib-like arched bones supporting it layer by layer on both sides. The light came from within the walls, speckles of light that became brighter the further forward they went, but it didn't appear dazzling. This didn't seem like a Fissure anymore.
At this moment, the water droplets on both of them rolled off their skin, not wetting their bodies at all. Especially for Chen Chuan , white steam was emitting from his body, and the moisture inside his clothes was evaporated in just a moment.Talu's eyes under her thick eyebrows were bright, "Mr. Chen, are you using the Furnace Breathing Technique?"
Chen Chuan said, "Yes."
Talu said, "The Furnace Breathing Technique is a secret passed down within the sect. I heard that the conditions for cultivation are very harsh. I've seen people who have mastered the Breathing Technique before, but Mr. Chen, your performance seems a little different."
She had seen those people with only red and hot skin, and some faint mist on their bodies, but she had never seen Chen Chuan with such rising white smoke. If she hadn't felt a heat wave at close range and that unique breathing pattern, she wouldn't have been sure.
Chen Chuan hummed in response. Secret techniques and methods, for every Martial Artist , because of the coverage rate of Mutated Tissue and individual differences, would show some variations.
His Mutated Tissue coverage rate was extremely high, and it was based on the Zhou Yuan Strength Method, so his external performance might be more impressive than the orthodox Furnace Breathing Technique.
However, anyone who knew a little about it could judge from the breathing pattern at close range which Breathing Technique he was cultivating.
At this moment, he looked around, "I've been to some Fissures, and they are very different from here."
Talu looked upwards and said, "Because this place has been developed by generations of our Singular Flow Pavilion's predecessors, it has reached a certain balance with the other side.
In the past, a predecessor of the Singular Flow Pavilion even merged with a certain life form within the Fissure, and many of our secret techniques are also contained within his energy field."
"So he is in..."
Chen Chuan originally wanted to ask where this person was, but he quickly realized a possibility and looked around again.
Talu said very frankly, "We are inside his body."
She took a few steps forward and came to an open space, saying, "It is precisely because this senior's body is a barrier that it blocks the erosion from the other end of the Fissure, making the Fissure entrance very stable, but all the invasions need to be borne by this senior.
It is said that a long time ago he was still conscious, but later he gradually lost these, and only the instinct of his body remains to maintain this place."
Chen Chuan thought to himself that no wonder he couldn't feel the feeling of entering a Fissure in the past after entering here. It seemed that this unique organism was playing a role.
Talu said, "It is said that in every stable Fissure inherited from ancient times, there is an organism combined with the existence on the other side, and those should all be the predecessors of the various Martial Arts halls."
Chen Chuan felt it at this moment. This creature was very peculiar, with no Spiritual Power at all, just as Talu said, only some kind of instinct remained.
He followed Talu forward and came to the end of this place, which was a wall made of countless coiled tendrils twisted together.
After Talu approached, she didn't seem to make any movements, as if only sensing the diffusion of the Biological Field, those twisted tendrils loosened from this and slowly bloomed outwards. In an instant, a bright light radiated from the opened gap.
Chen Chuan immediately felt some kind of invasion on his Spirit. Along with that came wisps of essence. Although it wasn't as much as when the Heavenly Gate opened that day and appeared weaker, there was indeed a gap.
Talu kindly reminded, "Mr. Chen, if you cultivate, you only need to stay here. Be sure not to go out, because it's hard to say what's out there. The senior's body can provide resistance here, but it can't help you if you go out.
Moreover, the senior will instinctively prevent all foreign objects from entering, so if you go over there, you may be sealed outside and it will be difficult to return."
Chen Chuan said cautiously, "I understand, thank you for the reminder."
Talu took a few steps back, and the tendrils closed up. She said, "Mr. Chen, the Fissure is very unstable now. Opening it for a long time during the day will cause many anomalies, which may be discovered by the people above. So if you want to cultivate, come back at night. Let's go back first."
Chen Chuan nodded. Anyway, he already knew the location, and he still had some preparation work to do. So he and Talu came out of the Fissure together. Because there was no way to go up here, they needed to climb the cliff again and return to the top, but this was not difficult for either of them, and they soon returned to the top.
After the moisture on his body evaporated, he went alone towards the thatched shed.
Zhao Ming was standing on the suitcase he had left there. Seeing him coming, he chirped.
He went up and touched it a few times, picked up the suitcase, and followed Talu down the mountain, preparing to find a place to stay first.
Radiant Mist Island has about three or four thousand residents. The largest village is at the foot of the central cliff, gathering about two thousand people. The disciples accepted by the Singular Flow Pavilion are basically from this village.
Of course, there are also some people who come from afar to seek apprenticeship. Because the details and origins of these people are usually difficult to figure out, few of them can stay in the end.
The Singular Flow Pavilion has always been the protector of Radiant Mist Island and the surrounding sea area. When the Martial Artist halls had not declined, Talu's status was very high. In the past, the rulers of Flourishing Luo Island often came here to become nominal disciples .
However, with the decline of the Martial Arts halls, Flourishing Luo Island was also annexed by other island nations and became a purely tourist island. For more than a hundred years, the memory of Singular Flow Pavilion in the surrounding sea area has also faded. Only the people on Radiant Mist Island still worship them as their protectors.
Chen Chuan was brought here personally by Talu , so the villagers arranged for him the best vacant room for accommodating travelers. After putting his things away here, he took a wash and then went out to buy some things and tools.
Around five or six o'clock, he carried a newly bought waterproof handbag and returned to the cliff with Zhao Ming , and sat down here.
He sat on the edge of the cliff, with one hand on his bent knee, the Snow Emperor Blade casually placed beside him, looking at the magnificent sunset in the sky, his expression casual and relaxed.
Gusts of sea breeze blew through his hair, causing it to flutter non-stop. The light of the setting sun fell on him, adding a golden-red light to his cheeks and the front of his clothes, while the surroundings were surrounded by a deep purple sky.
Since coming to this island, he felt that his whole person had become very relaxed. This was a relaxation of the Spirit, as if soaking in a warm spring.
With his Spirit level, he could feel that this was very beneficial for the coordination of the Martial Artist's body and mind.
It seemed that not only the Fissure below, but this island was also a treasure land. There was a reason why the Singular Flow Pavilion chose this place as the location of their pavilion.
After sitting until the sky was completely dark, he stood up, picked up the waterproof bag, and jumped from above into the sea.
Because he had been there once during the day, he could already sense the existence of that place, so this time he quickly found it. After diving hundreds of meters, he felt the tides outside his body receding, and he came to the Fissure again.
He walked forward, and as he stepped, water droplets rolled off his body, and bursts of white smoke rose up.
After walking to the front of those tendrils, it seemed that because he had sensed his energy field during the day, the tendrils immediately split open outwards. Light shone through from the other end, illuminating him, and a strong airflow came with it, blowing his clothes and hair.
He stood and felt it for a moment. Although going over there would have a better cultivation effect, he listened to advice and had no intention of going over.
Releasing his hand, he let the bag fall to the ground, then took another step forward, and sat down just over a meter away from the entrance. He put the Snow Emperor Blade aside, felt the wisps of essence pouring in from there, and began to run the Bright Reflection Method taught to him by Teacher Xue .
He felt it for a while. This was indeed much faster than usual cultivation, and he didn't need to use other medicinal pills for assistance.
Usually, he would use Incense to assist in Spirit cultivation, and as the Spiritual Power strengthened, the grade of Incense would also increase, but here it was not needed. However, there was inevitably a problem here, that was, strong fading signs appeared on his Second Self .
Some kind of contamination came along with it from the other side.
He ignored these, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered into cultivation wholeheartedly.
