90: Chapter 90 Exploring the Seas

When Ye Xiu arrived at Yunzhong City, three days had already passed.

This place was just like Tianfu City, exceptionally peaceful; it was as if the cataclysmic changes of this world had nothing to do with this city.

His Qi Sense extended outward.

Information regarding the entirety of Yunzhong City was immediately clear to him.

"Ji Xingyue isn't here?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

Within the Qi Sense that blanketed the entire city, he did not find Ji Xingyue's aura.

Could that girl, who always called herself a 'weak woman,' have already surpassed him in strength?

That should be unlikely.

After all, after he stepped into the path of Using the Body as the Dao...

His strength had undergone a qualitative change.

An ordinary Great Sage would be no match for him; no matter how strong Ji Xingyue's Double Pupils were, she shouldn't be strong to such an extent.

Carrying a hint of doubt.

Ye Xiu no longer hid his aura.

Boom...

A powerful pressure instantly dispersed all the clouds and mist within a thousand meters.

Using the Body as the Dao.

The more Yang Power one possessed, the stronger their constitution became.

At this moment, even without the enhancement of Yang Power, Ye Xiu's Physical Body alone was something an ordinary Saint could not compare to.

As his aura was revealed.

The upper echelons of Yunzhong City were shaken, and powerful experts immediately flew out from within.

They soared rapidly toward the direction where Ye Xiu was located.

"General Ye, is something the matter?"

Ten or so seconds later.

Jiang Yu arrived at Ye Xiu's side and asked respectfully.

He looked at the young man before him, his heart filled with shock; his own cultivation was considered top-tier even within the Tongtian Realm.

But right now, he found it difficult to even withstand this General Ye's aura.

Ye Xiu didn't bother with Jiang Yu's thoughts.

He spoke directly: "I am here to find Young Miss Xingyue; the Cabinet Council has issued instructions."

"My apologies, General Ye, but Councilor Ji Xingyue is currently not in Yunzhong City."

"Where did she go? When will she be back?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly. With hundreds of realms descending upon the Main World, why was she running around instead of guarding Yunzhong City?

"Before Councilor Xingyue left, she left a letter for the General."

Jiang Yu had met Ye Xiu before, so he had the letter prepared before coming over.

Ye Xiu took the letter.

He was somewhat speechless; he hadn't even delivered his own letter yet, but had received one instead. What a situation.

"To be opened by General Ye personally."

"The world has changed greatly, and this Humble Woman has suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Perhaps before long, the flames of war will reach Great Xia. Currently, only strength is everything."

"After more than ten years of exploration, the location of Mount Buzhou has finally been discovered."

"This Humble Woman has left a Space Gate at the mountain range where the General last cultivated. If the General is interested, you may come to investigate together."

"Furthermore."

"Besides holding the secrets of Reincarnation, Mount Buzhou also possesses the power of the gods."

"That power might allow our strength to rise to a height sufficient to deal with the Tribulation of the Heavens."

The words in the letter were few.

But the information revealed was substantial.

Mount Buzhou?

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

The secrets of Reincarnation, the power of the gods...

He naturally wanted to explore these two things as well.

After all, hundreds of realms had descended upon the Main World. Although his current strength allowed him to firmly suppress a Great Sage...

If it was truly as Xing Mu had said.

If several realms united and gathered a dozen or so Great Sages, even he would be surrounded and killed.

After thinking for a few seconds.

Ye Xiu decided to go take a look.

"Go about your business, there's no need to follow me."

Before Jiang Yu could reply, Ye Xiu's figure had already vanished.

...

...

The mountain peak.

The Space Gate.

Ye Xiu arrived at the mountain range where he had last cultivated.

Looking at the hundred-meter-tall Space Gate before him, reinforced by Spirit Stones, he felt a sense of admiration for Ji Xingyue's spatial Dao.

"If it's her, perhaps she really can establish Space Gates connecting the Nine Cities of Great Xia."

He sighed softly with emotion.

With a step, he entered the Space Gate.

As intense spatial fluctuations appeared.

He felt a slight sense of spatial pressure.

"It seems that spatial teleportation still has certain requirements regarding one's strength."

A minute later.

Ye Xiu was pushed out by a spatial force.

The scene before him truly shocked him.

An ocean.

A continuous, endless ocean.

The seawater on the surface looked normal.

But looking down, it was a pitch blackness like an abyss; clearly, the depth surpassed human imagination.

"Is Ji Xingyue down there?"

His Qi Sense erupted.

He began to explore toward the ocean floor.

After two great world changes, the creatures in the ocean had evolved to an extremely terrifying degree.

The sea below a hundred thousand meters.

That was the activity area for massive marine life; those bodies that were thousands of meters long at every turn truly gave Ye Xiu a sense of shock.

As his Qi Sense explored further down.

Twenty thousand meters...

Three hundred thousand meters...

Until it reached a depth of a million meters did it barely touch the seabed.

A depth of a million meters.

This was unimaginable before the world had changed.

The pressure of the seawater alone would likely have directly crushed an ordinary Tongtian Realm Cultivator to death.

His Qi Sense extended for hundreds of miles along the seabed.

But there was still no sign of Ji Xingyue's aura.

"Not on this side?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly.

In his Qi Sense's investigation, the creatures on the seabed were somewhat terrifying.

Bodies tens of thousands of meters in size were simply like ancient behemoths; if they weren't unable to leave the sea, the entire world would likely be dominated by the Sea Race.

Fortunately.

These terrifying Sea Race members, in an environment devoid of sunlight, had not developed much intelligence.

Otherwise.

If these tens of thousands of meters long Sea Race members could successfully shapeshift, they would probably start at the Tongtian Realm.

The Endless Sea was vast as far as the eye could see, boundless and infinite.

Ye Xiu's Qi Sense turned into a fearsome exploration net, like a radar, beginning to search through this boundless sea.

As time passed.

Ten thousand miles of sea had been explored.

But even so, he still hadn't discovered any trace of Ji Xingyue's aura.

Another three hours later.

Ye Xiu discovered a massive mountain range on the seabed; only then did he stop his movement and dive headfirst into the seawater.

Yang Power erupted.

A golden barrier directly blocked out the seawater.

His speed was extremely fast.

In just a few minutes, he arrived at the pitch-black seabed.

"Not here either?"

Looking at this mountain range that was hundreds of thousands of meters high, Ye Xiu felt a bit suspicious.

In the surrounding waters, this was the highest mountain range; if it wasn't here, he would have to move far away from the Space Gate to distant waters.

But if he left and the Space Gate was destroyed by chance...

That would be very annoying.

Just as Ye Xiu was hesitating.

A crack suddenly split open in the mountain range.

A humanoid creature with two horns on its head, as if sensing Ye Xiu's aura, walked directly out of the mountain.

Ding...

A black trident slammed against the golden barrier, producing a loud sound of metal clashing.

"What kind of ghostly thing is this?"

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, reaching out to grab the scale-covered neck of this sea monster.

"Can you speak human?"

"Gurgle..."

You can't speak human? Then what use is there in keeping you?

The strength in his hand increased.

The sea monster's body instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist that dissolved into the seawater.

"Huh, a bit interesting?"

After killing the sea monster, Ye Xiu looked at the crack in the mountain; it actually resisted the inflow of seawater, which immediately piqued his interest.

He approached the crack.

He discovered that inside the mountain, there was actually a Spatial Barrier attached to the inner wall, completely separating the seawater from the mountain.

"Spatial methods? Is this Ji Xingyue's handiwork?"

Ye Xiu couldn't be sure.

But at this moment, he didn't feel like exploring other sea areas anymore.

He could only follow the crack and enter the mountain with a bit of curiosity.
