396: Swallowed, Black Water

Counting the days as his experience points rose, Su Yongchun felt incredibly fulfilled.

Eating grilled fish on the boat and drinking the Fat Boy Happy Water exchanged from the System, he felt that even the salty sea breeze brushing against his face could not be matched by the spring breeze.

This kind of life continued for five days.

Experience points +1... +1.

On this day, seeing his experience points rise by two every half hour, Su Yongchun roughly understood that the lava below had already dried up!

He turned his head to look at the System panel before him.

Available experience points: 28,318.

Approaching thirty thousand experience points, it could be said that this was more than the total experience points he had collected since his Transmigration!

It was enough to cause his strength to surge to the Casting Foundation Realm!

He remembered that the protagonist, Dragon Xuan, took over ten years to reach the Casting Foundation Realm.

Of course, that was during the time from when Dragon Xuan was six to sixteen, when his Family had not been destroyed, his parents were still alive, and he hadn't activated any acceleration.

However, for Dragon Xuan to Cultivate to the Casting Foundation Realm in ten years already earned him the title of a Prodigy.

Now, relying on 'his own talent and hard work,' he had touched the Peak of the Body Realm in less than a year!

He composed himself.

Su Yongchun dived down to the seabed.

He grabbed the two [Experience Collectors] suspended inside the volcano.

As he turned to look around, he realized just how large the interior of this volcano hidden beneath the sea was.

After the lava was devoured, a hollow underwater space was left behind.

This space was so vast that even putting a thousand or ten thousand of the Li Family's large ships inside wouldn't fill it!

Further away, it was pitch black and deep, seemingly stretching for thousands or tens of thousands of meters!

No wonder it was comparable to the points he had accumulated since his Transmigration.

Such a massive underwater volcano must have accumulated for thousands or even ten thousand years!

And it was emptied by him in a single day.

Feeling a bit sentimental, Su Yongchun didn't linger and swam up to the surface to return to the boat.

When Su Yongchun signaled to Li Qingtao that they could continue, the large ship that had been anchored for five days finally set sail!

The waves rippled under a clear, boundless sky.

The days of sailing returned to their original boredom.

The Southern Border Sea Area—the vastness of this sea needs to be measured in light-years!

This terrifying sea area cut off the entire Great Yong Continent.

Anyone below the Sealed Position Realm who wanted to leave the Great Yong Continent could only rely on the Ancient Teleportation Array jointly controlled by the three great imperial families.

However, the Ancient Teleportation Array was broken; after Dragon Xuan fixed it and teleported himself to the Ten Thousand Mountains, it was completely ruined.

Su Yongchun thought that perhaps he could try to intercept that opportunity once?

After all, the resources here were quite limited compared to the outside world.

However, with his current strength, he was still too weak.

After devouring the seawater of the Blackwater Zone this time, he could act according to the situation.

A week later.

On this day, the fiery sun hung overhead like a god watching over the earth.

Standing on the deck, the treasure map unfolded in Su Yongchun's hand showed a large mass of light occupying half the map directly ahead!

He looked up into the distance.

The distant horizon met an endless black sea!

From the perspective of an onlooker, the pitch-black mist looked like a Black Flood Dragon opening its massive maw.

And this large ship was like a snack throwing itself into a trap!

"Little Brother Su, our ship can only get close to the Blackwater Zone at most. If we go any further, it will be very dangerous."

Li Qingtao appeared beside Su Yongchun.

And beside her was a Li Family Elder.

"Just send me this far. I can go to that island by myself," Su Yongchun said, causing Li Qingtao and the Elder beside her to narrow their eyes slightly.

That was thousands of meters inside the Blackwater Zone; although it wasn't even considered the outskirts, it was still within the range of the Blackwater Zone!

"Young Friend Su, why don't I escort you?" the Li Family Elder suggested.

However, in the next moment.

Su Yongchun jumped directly off the deck!

"Is he crazy? He really wants to go there alone?" Li Qingtao was shocked and immediately leaned over the deck railing. "He doesn't even want a small boat. Does he plan to swim over?!"

Just as she said this, a look of utter astonishment appeared on the woman's delicate face.

What did she see?

That young boy had jumped off the ship, yet he didn't sink into the water.

Instead, he started running on the surface of the sea!

"Hiss~ Treading on water, this boy's Qinggong is truly exquisite!" The Li Family Elder beside her drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

In the time it took to draw that breath, the figure in their field of vision had already charged into the Blackwater Zone without the slightest pause!

Although that island was several thousand meters away,

At the young boy's speed, he could reach it in less than two minutes!

"Oh no!" Li Qingtao and the Li Family Elder suddenly cried out in alarm at the same time.

In their sight, a spray of water suddenly exploded from the previously calm Blackwater Sea Area ahead.

A shark, pitch-black all over with bloodthirsty red light flickering across it, suddenly leaped out of the water, its massive teeth wide open!

Its body was over ten meters long, and together with that terrifying, hideous maw, it looked as if it were about to swallow the small figure whole!

"Damn it, I told him not to be so reckless! That's a forbidden zone!" Li Qingtao ran toward the bridge in a panic, wanting to command the ship to enter the Blackwater Zone to save Su Yongchun.

However, in the next moment.

A burst of blood suddenly bloomed on that pitch-black sea as the ten-meter-long great white shark was sliced in two with a single blade strike!

"What was that?"

"It looks like a saber technique, a saber technique that has reached Perfection!" The Elder lost his voice in shock, and what was even harder to believe was that he discovered the child was actually a powerhouse of the Casting Foundation Realm!

Li Qingtao stood with her mouth agape in shock.

Watching that figure step onto the island without any injuries, she muttered, "At such a young age, he reached the Casting Foundation Realm? How is that possible!"

"In the future, if you want Mortal Weapons, you can bring Cultivation Techniques here to exchange with me!"

In the distance, Su Yongchun's voice came whistling over with the sea breeze.

"He can even provide Mortal Weapons? I knew he was an Artifact Refiner!" Li Qingtao was somewhat annoyed, but she did note down the part about exchanging Cultivation Techniques for Mortal Weapons... Blackwater Sea Area.

Standing on the island, Su Yongchun watched the Li Family ship sailing back in the distance and then looked at the island behind him.

The island wasn't large, about the size of a school.

He might have to stay here for a while.

Taking out the two [Experience Collectors] from his person, Su Yongchun looked toward the deeper parts of the Blackwater Sea Area and violently hurled the [Experience Collectors] out.

Under his strength,

The distance of several thousand meters was crossed in one leap.

As the [Experience Collectors] hit the water, Su Yongchun looked at the already opened System panel.

Just by looking at the brightness on the treasure map, he understood that the seawater here would definitely not be inferior!

Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds... a minute later.

Experience points... +2.

With two [Experience Collectors], an income of two experience points per minute was thirty times that of ordinary seawater!

It was nearly half as much as the income from collecting lava before.

But there is so much seawater here!

After seeing the detailed map of the Blackwater Zone on the ship, Su Yongchun found that this area was far larger than he had estimated.

It was almost comparable to a certain ocean in the modern world!

For such a massive Blackwater Sea Area, the total value was far higher than that ten-thousand-year-old underwater volcano!
