"There's unknown danger below, please be extra careful." Zero.
"I know." Ziyu dove down, and the Battle Armor immediately sealed up, tightly wrapping around Ziyu and converting the oxygen atoms from the scattered water molecules caused by Nuclear Energy into breathable oxygen.
"At the ten o'clock direction, one thousand meters away, there's a creature of the type we encountered before." Zero detected an anomaly.
"It seems there are still many of those creatures here... I'll go take a look."
Ziyu approached the location of the creature without invitation.
In this dark environment, that creature must have a special way to discern direction and sense Nearby presence, so it soon became aware of Ziyu's existence.
"Roar..." The monster opened its mouth and let out a tremendous roar, twisting its body towards Ziyu.
"At such low temperatures under the Antarctic Ice Sheet, this creature can still maintain a body temperature of over thirty degrees... that's really amazing." A shadow of the creature appeared on Ziyu's thermal sensor, showing that its temperature was not very low.
"Living for a long time in a cold and dim environment must have led to evolutionary adaptations in the creature's physical capabilities." Zero.
The creature had reached in front of Ziyu, opening its large mouth to swallow Ziyu. Just as Ziyu was about to test a new idea, he took the opportunity to dive inside and quickly fired Laser in all directions upon reaching the esophagus...
The creature began to thrash violently, letting out angry roars but was helpless against it.
"Break through!" The drill bit at the front of Ziyu's Battle Armor disappeared, becoming thinner overall, and plunged forcefully inside the monster.
"Right..." Ziyu's gaze turned cold as the front of the Battle Armor elongated slightly again. "Now I can unleash my sword techniques."
On the way back, Zero calculated that Ziyu could no longer release sword energy; at this moment, the probability of molecular agitation was too small. However, some techniques for exerting force in swordsmanship could still be used by Ziyu.
"Zero, control the blade to vibrate with my attacks and resonate with the monster's bones. I think this will be more effective than Laser," Ziyu said.
While Laser affects a single point, the resonance of the sword can transmit the attack throughout the entire body of the monster.
Ziyu's sword struck one of the creature's Ribs, and the sword immediately emitted a peculiar wave, its frequency matching that of the Rib's vibrations.
"My hand is numb." Due to the resonance, Ziyu felt numbness in their hand as well.
"Let's keep going." Ziyu emerged from the creature's body and continued to swim downward.
In fact, this creature still had a faint breath and was not dead. Ziyu did not intend to kill it; they simply wanted to test their idea.
"Sir, we are about to reach the seabed."
After diving approximately over a thousand meters, they finally reached the seabed, where the temperature was extremely low.
"A mountain?" Ziyu swam over to take a look.
The structure of Antarctica consists of an upper layer of Ice Layer, followed by water, and then land below. Ziyu was currently at the bottom layer of land in Antarctica.
Ziyu was cautious about any peculiar creatures that might be present here, so they did not swim very quickly.
"House?" Ziyu seemed to vaguely see something resembling a small hut.
Ziyu walked towards the "house," and out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a stone tablet.
"This..." Ziyu widened her eyes, filled with disbelief.
The tablet was inscribed with unique symbols, and Ziyu recognized them, feeling quite familiar!!!
"Jing Mountain..." Ziyu reached out to touch the marks on the stone tablet.
This character was the same as the writing from when she traveled back to ancient times!
Ziyu walked around to the back of the stone tablet, where an event was recorded.
"One day, a heavenly omen descended upon Jing Mountain, the heavens and earth opened, and a seven-colored divine power transformed into an endless vortex, guiding two individuals... one named Xiong Zhi, and the other Lan... The two seemed to ascend to immortality, and from that day on, Jing Mountain became the Holy Land."
"Uh... this..." Ziyu blinked and then looked at the wooden house beside her, filled with regret.
The tablet stated that after Xiong Zhi and Lan became immortal, their friend Xia Yun would wait for their return, living in seclusion here and maintaining order in this place.
Every year on the day Xiong Zhi and Lan crossed over, this place would become lively. However, no matter how lively it got, Xia Yun would only find a quiet spot to look up at the sky.
As if the Heavenly Omen had reappeared...
"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving? I've been thinking about you, you know..." Xia Yun would shed tears every time she looked at the sky, at the place where the colorful whirlpool appeared.
"Over there... is that a sword?" Ziyu looked to the other side of the mountain. The stone tablet and the sword were symmetrical, with a house in the center. The sword was also a massive sculpture carved from stone.
As Ziyu approached the sword, she noticed there were inscriptions on the blade as well.
"Since the Day of Heavenly Omen, no martial artist in the world has been able to reach their limits. Sword energy no longer appears, and those who have cultivated sword energy cannot release it. The lineage of swordsmanship is gradually declining."
"And it is said that Xiong Zhi Shang Xian is the foremost master of swordsmanship, capable of releasing supreme sword energy, but this cannot be verified... Xiong Zhi Shang Xian is a recluse, and there are too few records to confirm."
Ziyu was drenched in sweat... She had been so busy returning that she hadn't accomplished much. Moreover, when Ziyu had just returned to the year 2014, Zero began to control her ability to release sword energy, but gradually could not anymore. It turned out it was because of this—because of herself.
In ancient times, Ziyu could release sword energy, but after creating a time-space whirlpool that altered the spatial structure, that place in ancient times could no longer release sword energy after she left.
Ziyu herself possessed the ability to release sword energy. When she first arrived in 2014, time and space could not immediately negate this ability.
If Ziyu had not traveled through time and caused changes in the spatial structure, perhaps now it would be an era of martial arts combined with technology.
"This place is actually Antarctica..." Ziyu had wondered what that world was like when she was there. If it was on Earth, where exactly on Earth it was—now she knew.
Ziyu's gaze finally fell upon that wooden house.
Ziyu's body landed on the mountain ground, walking step by step towards the door of the wooden house as if she were on solid land.
The inscription on the stone tablet states that this is the place where Xia Yun resides. She has lived here for a long time, waiting for Xiong Zhi to return.
"Maybe I will come back..." At the door, Ziyu stroked the door and looked around. "When I truly master the technology of time and space, I will travel back..."
Ziyu felt guilty towards Xia Yun in her heart.
Ziyu pushed open the door. It was made of wood and had not been touched for a long time. Although it still looked intact, it had long since rotted. As Ziyu pushed the door, many fragments flew out from the doorframe, and it was fortunate that it did not fall apart. Ziyu became even more cautious.
The wooden table and chairs were still there, but the table had already rotted and was crushed by the porcelain tea set on top of it.
"Let's take this back... as a keepsake."
Ziyu reached down to pick up a teapot and held it in her palm.
"Alright, there's nothing else here. Let's see how this world has changed over time." Ziyu wandered around, looking everywhere.
Perhaps Ziyu could discover some secrets...
