164: Sea Siren Sanctuary

As they descended, the surrounding light grew dimmer and dimmer.

The coral reefs gradually disappeared, replaced by more and more strangely shaped deep-sea rocks.

Occasionally, one or two glowing deep-sea fish could be seen flashing past them.

The water temperature dropped lower and lower, and the seawater outside the membrane had already taken on a deep, dark blue hue.

"My Lord, we are almost there."

The voice of the Leader of the Melodious Sea Demons rang in Bai Ye's mind.

She looked back at Bai Ye and, seeing that he still wore a calm and unruffled expression, couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

One had to know that the depth they were currently at already exceeded one thousand meters.

An ordinary human, even a Tier 4 Beast Tamer, would have been crushed into a meat patty by the terrifying water pressure without special protection.

Yet this Beast Tamer hadn't even frowned.

After descending for another half hour or so, the environment became pitch black.

One could not even see their own fingers.

The faint blue light emitted from the Merfolk barely illuminated the area within a few meters.

"Meow..."

Xiao Hei shrank into Bai Ye's arms in fear, her small body trembling.

She hated the darkness the most.

Phantom Snow was a little nervous, but didn't want it to be obvious, so she could only hook her tail around Bai Ye's lower leg, her eyes slightly closed.

Suddenly, a soft purple light lit up on Xiao Hei's forehead.

Several pixel blocks floated out from her and circled around them.

The pixel blocks emitted a bright light, dispelling much of the darkness under the sea.

"Meow?"

Xiao Hei reached out her paw to touch these glowing blocks.

Her paw passed directly through the blocks without touching any solid matter.

This was the first time she had used this skill herself, and it felt very interesting.

"Meow!"

Phantom Snow also curiously reached out her paw to touch the pixel blocks.

The result was the same as Xiao Hei's; she didn't touch anything.

She tried a few more times, unwilling to give up, but in the end, she had to give up helplessly.

"Alright, stop playing."

Bai Ye stopped them with a smile.

"When we go back, I will teach you how to turn these blocks into solid objects."

Hearing this, Xiao Hei's eyes instantly lit up.

Solid objects?

If she could achieve materialization like her master, wouldn't she be able to play Minecraft in reality?

She could even make her own figurines.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hei's fear of the darkness immediately vanished into thin air.

Another few minutes passed, and a speck of light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.

The light grew larger and larger, and finally, a huge cave entrance appeared before Bai Ye and the others.

At the entrance of the cave stood two huge Merfolk statues.

The material of the statues must have been made from special Materials, as they could actually emit a faint blue light in the darkness.

"My Lord, we have arrived."

The Leader of the Melodious Sea Demons pointed to the cave in front and said respectfully.

"The Sacred Object is inside."

Xiao Hei poked her small head out from Bai Ye's arms, curiously examining the huge cave.

The treasure bead on her forehead emitted a soft purple light, and the surrounding pixel blocks also brightened a little, illuminating the cave entrance more clearly.

The two Merfolk statues were lifelike, and the feathers on their lower bodies looked as if they could flutter at any moment.

"Legend has it that this is where the first monarch of our Merfolk Clan was born, and those two statues are the likeness of our ancestor."

Her gaze towards the statues was full of awe.

Immediately after, the expression in her eyes became dim.

She wondered how angry her ancestor would be to see the current withered state of their clan.

Bai Ye scanned the two statues with Telepathy, but there was no residual energy fluctuation on them.

They were just ordinary stone statues.

The so-called Holy Land was just a place to store things.

"The Sacred Object is in the deepest part of the cave, protected by a powerful Seal."

The Leader of the Melodious Sea Demons pointed to the depths of the cave and said.

"The Seal was also left by our ancestor."

"Take me to see it."

"Yes, my Lord."

The Leader of the Melodious Sea Demons led the way, with Bai Ye and his three beast pets following behind.

The passage inside the cave was very spacious, and many glowing crystals were embedded on the stone walls on both sides.

Even though an unknown amount of time had passed, it could still illuminate the entire passage as bright as day.

The further in they went, the more active the water element energy became.

Xiao Hei and Phantom Snow felt very comfortable, and their fur became much smoother under the nourishment of the rich water elements.

"Xiao Hei, hurry and take this opportunity to absorb more water attribute energy; you might be able to use your talent to Awaken some water attribute skills."

Bai Ye quickly urged Xiao Hei to try.

If Xiao Hei learned extra attribute skills, they could be permanently fixed after being absorbed by him.

It was precisely because learned skills could not be used forever that he himself was not very interested in learning temporary skills.

Xiao Hei nodded vigorously, and there were more and more water droplets on her fur, but she couldn't use any water-type skills.

After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the center of the underwater cavern, where miraculously, no seawater had seeped in.

In the center of the cavern, there was a pool of water.

Above the pool floated a huge seashell emitting blue light.

As for the outside of the seashell, it was covered by a layer of translucent energy shield.

"My Lord, the Sacred Object is inside that seashell."

The Leader of the Melodious Sea Demons pointed to the seashell in the center of the pool and said.

"That energy shield is the Seal left by our ancestor."

Bai Ye walked to the edge of the pool and carefully examined the energy shield.

He could feel that the shield contained very high-quality energy, but after long-term erosion, its power had weakened significantly.

He tried to touch the shield with Telepathy.

As soon as the Telepathy made contact, it was bounced back by a rebounding force.

Tsk.

Come to think of it, the Merfolk were a race very good at mental abilities; if Telepathy had been effective, they would have already taken the item out.

"It seems I have to use brute force."

Bai Ye withdrew his Mental Energy and flexed his wrists.

The Leader of the Melodious Sea Demons looked at him with some worry.

She had great confidence in Bai Ye's strength, but this was the Seal left by her ancestor after all.

If any accident happened... what would happen to her Cultivate accelerator?

"Rest assured."

Bai Ye gave her a reassuring look.

"It's just a Seal that is about to be scrapped; it can't stop me."

Even without him coming to open the Seal, in another two or three hundred years, relying on the Leader's Elite Limit strength, it would be enough to destroy this layer of the Seal.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Hei, Phantom Snow, prepare for Body Integration."

The three beast pets responded in unison, turning into three beams of different colored light, merging into Bai Ye's body.

The next second, Bai Ye entered the complete Sage Mode.

An aura surpassing the Initial Lord Rank erupted from him, sweeping through the entire cavern.

"This... this is..."

The Leader of the Melodious Sea Demons looked at Bai Ye and licked her dry lips.

The air pressure alone after the Body Integration was complete almost made her forget to breathe.

If Lord Bai Ye had attacked with this form back then... she would have died, right?
