Fortunately, performing such operations in reality is far simpler than in the virtual world. There is no need for precise mouse control or fingertip touches on a screen; the release of the water column can be accomplished instantly with mere thought. The speed of human cognition always surpasses that of physical actions.
Moreover, as Yun Xiao Yi continues to enhance his skills and Level in reality, the coverage area of the water column gradually expands, making the use of Landing Water Cushion even easier. However, up until now, he has not personally tested the effectiveness of this technique in real life. The bucket of water nearby serves merely as an extra safety precaution.
In addition, he has prepared a complete set of Soil Block materials. Should the Water Elevator fail to function, he can ensure a gradual deceleration by continuously placing new soil, thus preventing any harm.
As his body sinks into the curtain of water, all previous anxieties dissipate like smoke. Despite witnessing the water flowing downwards, Yun Xiao Yi defies gravity and remains steadily suspended within the current. This phenomenon, which contradicts the laws of physics, is enough to instill fear and make one imagine that Newton himself would find it hard to rest in peace on his gravestone.
However, in this era, science is still a concept that will only begin to emerge a millennium later; what dominates everything now is the so-called Holy Law. Immersed in this flowing liquid, a special marker appears within Yun Xiao Yi's field of vision—a Small Bubble representing his world’s Breath Value.
Typically, only ten such Small Bubbles indicate remaining oxygen levels. Yet in reality, for Yun Xiao Yi, who has ascended to a higher rank, he possesses several times that amount. This proves that as his Level increases, so too does his oxygen supply.
As Yun Xiao Yi controlled his gradual descent, he timed himself internally while observing the speed at which the bubbles dissipated. Generally speaking, about one Small Bubble would be consumed every minute. If he exhausted all the oxygen, his body would begin to draw on his life force to compensate for the deficit. However, with the current reserve of oxygen he had, even if he fell into the deepest abyss of the world, he could rise to the surface without any obstacles.
Moreover, with his limitless potential and further room for advancement, he was confident that once he reached a certain level, he could rest easy even if he slumbered at the bottom of the sea. At this moment, Yun Xiao Yi still maintained control over his body as it slowly sank along the Shuimai.
During their journey, they encountered torches that emitted a gentle glow. The Nuclear Torch indeed could not be lit underwater. However, as long as there was determination, solutions could always be found. All it took was to dig a small section inward every so often along the path and then insert the torch into these newly excavated slots.
With an increase in his self-control abilities, Yun Xiao Yi began to grow bolder and quickly accelerated to his maximum speed. However, just as he was immersed in this rapid movement, he suddenly noticed that the curtain of water around him had vanished. Once freed from the flow of water, his self-control weakened as well; he could no longer manage his speed and was left to be pulled downward by the gravity of Earth's Core.
This was bad; he had messed up! Yun Xiao Yi felt a tightening in his chest. Ultimately, it was due to his own lack of thorough consideration. The water flow generated by the Water Cube he set up followed the game’s logic rather than true free-fall physics. According to actual physical laws, no matter how quickly he descended, he would not escape the coverage of the water column; in this game world, liquids flowed at a fixed speed of about several meters per second. Once he exceeded this threshold and continued for a distance, he might come into contact with the protective water flow.
Fortunately, Yun Xiao Yi had always been optimistic.
In the face of such an urgent situation, he remained calm. His eyes were fixed intently on the dark bottom of the well before him, his grip tightening around the bucket as he quietly awaited the moment when a faint red glow would appear.
This pit had been dug by his own hands, and he knew well that the bottom was composed of massive layers of Gneiss. The emergence of a soft red light in his line of sight would signify that he was nearing his destination. At that point, all he needed to do was pour the water from the bucket beneath his feet to achieve a safe landing.
This momentary decision could mean the difference between life and death. After a brief yet tense anticipation, the vague red spot finally emerged in Yun Xiao Yi's almost blurred vision. The opportunity had arrived!
With a flicker of thought, Yun Xiao Yi swiftly acted, pouring the water from his hands down to his feet. In an instant, the bucket ran dry, and a complete Water Cube appeared beneath him out of thin air. Then, with a muffled thud, Yun Xiao Yi crashed onto the Water Cube, his body, which had been flying at nearly maximum speed, came to an abrupt halt.
If treated according to the physical laws of the real world, such an extreme impact could have instantly claimed his life or at least left him severely injured. Yet it proved that even in this extraordinary circumstance, he remained unscathed.
Yun Xiao Yi moved around a bit, excitement bubbling over; it was truly unbelievable! To fall from such a height and emerge unscathed was remarkable. It seemed that even in a real environment, the technique of Landing Water was still effective.
Afterward, he effortlessly operated the Iron Bucket to collect the Water Cube below him again, transforming it back into its filled state. He felt particularly satisfied with this convenient design that allowed for immediate use and recycling. The Landing Water technique not only provided convenience but also conserved precious water resources.
Not long after tidying up the scene, he heard a growing roar of flowing water from above. Looking up, he saw a series of neatly shaped Liquid Cubes flowing along the path he had just taken into the cave space he had previously left behind.
These streams composed of Blocks fell steadily without splashing any ripples and stopped expanding after only seven meters outward. Faced with this newly formed Artificial Water Ladder, Yun Xiao Yi excitedly ascended to explore it, experiencing the wonderful sensation of moving upstream against the current like in a game.
