Zhong Kui's Diary
Seeing that the Firebird was no longer making any noise, I lightly cleared my throat and asked Ice Stick, "What's going on with my body? It seems I no longer fear the pressure of the seawater."
Ice Stick sounded a bit frustrated, "Your internal magical power has reached an impressive level. Even if you were to go to the bottom of the Mariana Trench now, you wouldn't need any bubble protection; you could just dive straight down. The seawater pressure has no effect on you at all."
I was overjoyed but then furrowed my brow, "Then why do you look so down?"
"I was just thinking, is there a possibility to use the seawater pressure to fuse again? That way, you could rescue me and the Wind Rooster as well." Ice Stick said gloomily, "But in this situation, the seawater pressure can no longer force you into a desperate situation, so fusion can't proceed!"
"Do you think I don't want to fuse with you guys? It's just that there's no other way! By the way, since our magical powers have reached such an impressive level, does that mean I'm stronger than Ji Wuyuan and the others?" I asked cheerfully.
"Although your internal magical power is much more abundant than theirs, you don't know any spells, which is a fatal flaw. With just your Lightning-Type Spell and Fire Elemental Spells, you'd probably only be able to fight them to a draw," Ice Stick chuckled. "Hurry up and find an opportunity to fuse with me; by then, they won't be your opponents!"
"I see." I grinned. "Alright, as soon as there's a chance, I'll fuse with you!"
Returning to the seawater, I circulated my internal magical power and felt incredibly comfortable. At this moment, not only did I have two major Mystical Realm powers within me, but also Devouring Energy and Yin-Yang Energy... uh, let's not mention Yin-Yang Energy since it always seems elusive and doesn't seem very useful.
I initially thought about turning around and diving down; given my current situation, reaching the seabed would be a piece of cake. I wouldn't have to worry about seawater pressure or oxygen supply issues, which meant I could move as freely at the bottom of the Mariana Trench as I could on land.
However, after pondering for a while, I still surfaced. There were two main reasons: first, I hadn't yet learned how to release Fire Elemental Spells underwater; relying solely on Lightning-Type Spells didn't seem sufficient to handle underwater monsters. During my last dive of less than three thousand meters, I had already encountered a Sperm Whale and a Giant Squid. The Mariana Trench is over eleven thousand meters deep; who knows what other monsters lurk below? It wouldn't hurt to learn more skills for protection.
Second, it was dark underwater; I needed to find a way to solve the lighting issue. Otherwise, as I feared, what if I accidentally swam right into a monster's mouth?
Overall, this deep-sea expedition was quite fruitful. The only regret was that those three golden bones fell into the deep sea—about six hundred pounds of gold; that's a lot of money.
After activating the signal device, about twenty minutes later, I returned to the Submarine.
Tang Xiangdong was beside me and curiously poked my arm. "Dude, what exactly did you do? How can you withstand such immense pressure? You’re not a robot or something?"
I laughed heartily. "I'm just extraordinary! Haven't you heard tales of immortals? I'm somewhat like them—just kidding! Can I borrow your phone?"
Tang Xiangdong frowned and handed me his phone. My phone didn't have international roaming activated and had no signal here.
Finding a quiet spot, I called Qingcheng and told her what had happened before asking if she had any spells for using Fire Elemental Spells underwater.
Qingcheng first expressed her amazement at my opportunity but then laughed when she heard my question. "Is that all? You had to call me for this? Do you think other people's calls are free? Haha! Didn't I teach you how to release Thunder Elemental Magic spells underwater before? Just change the thunder in that spell to fire."
I was momentarily stunned because the spell Qingcheng taught me was quite simple, consisting of only five words: 'Zeng Mu Na Cuo Lei'. According to her method, wouldn't it just require saying 'Zengmuna Fire'? After a second or two of hesitation, I uncertainly asked, "So in the future, if there are Wind Element spells or ice-type spells, should I just change them to 'Zengmuna Cuo Feng' and 'Zengmuna Cuo Bing'?"
Qingcheng chuckled lightly, "There's no need to say the ice-type spell; ice and water share the same origin. Casting an ice-type spell in water enhances its effectiveness."
After chatting for a bit longer, I hung up and returned the phone to Tang Xiangdong, asking him if he had a flashlight that could withstand extreme water pressure and had long-lasting power.
Tang Xiangdong thought for a moment, "For what you need, there definitely isn't a flashlight. However, there is a searchlight; I'm not sure if it's convenient for you to carry."
My eyes lit up. "Let's go take a look."
Following Tang Xiangdong, we walked to a cabin. Upon entering, he pointed at a dark object. "That's it."
Goodness, this thing was about the size of an automatic mahjong table. It looked like a giant battery with a searchlight attached on top. Perhaps due to its exceptionally rough craftsmanship, it appeared quite heavy. I couldn't help but swallow hard. "Captain, how much does this thing weigh?"
"It's not too heavy—around five hundred pounds," Tang Xiangdong chuckled. "Because of its size, it has more buoyancy and will be lighter in the water."
Lighter? Even if it were a hundred pounds lighter, that would still leave four hundred pounds! How could I possibly lift something so heavy? Moreover, with such a large size, how could I conveniently carry it?
Seeing that I remained silent, Tang Xiangdong laughed again. "This is Dragon Light No. 1; it can provide illumination at depths of 6,000 meters and has a power duration of 106 hours."
Upon hearing this from Tang Xiangdong, I immediately dismissed the idea of carrying this cumbersome object. A depth of 6,000 meters might be a miraculous milestone for underwater illumination, but for me, it was far from sufficient.
"Is there anything else?" I hesitated for a moment and pointed at this so-called Dragon Light No. 1. "Is there something smaller?"
"This one is Dragon Palace No. 2!" Tang Xiangdong pointed at another dark object nearby.
Following his finger, I spotted an iron lump; if Tang Xiangdong hadn't said it was Dragon Palace No. 2, I would have thought it was just a large suitcase.
On the side of the box was a handle for easy carrying, while on the other side was the glass lens of a searchlight. I asked with a smile, "How much pressure can this one withstand?"
"Within 4,000 meters, there won't be any issues at all," Tang Xiangdong said proudly. "We use it along with an underwater camera when exploring deep-sea terrain; we tie it down with rope and lower it in. Yes, Dragon Palace No. 2 is much lighter—only 6 kilograms."
"How long can it be used?"
"Seven hours!"
"Alright, it's settled then." I suddenly thought of a way; I could release an air bubble and wrap the flashlight inside it. Releasing an Air Bubble requires three hours of cooling, but releasing a bubble has no cooling time limit and can be done at any moment.
As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but hit my head lightly. Since that's the case, why should I carry such a heavy Dragon Palace No. 1 down? I could just wrap my flashlight in a bubble.
On second thought, bringing it along might still be useful; at least it would allow me to sink quickly.
I turned to Tang Xiangdong and asked if he had a device to measure water depth. My previous device had already fallen into the deep sea along with my gold.
To my surprise, Tang Xiangdong handed me a watch. It was the latest diving watch, designed with the maximum depth based on the Mariana Trench. He bought it last year.
"You bought a watch last year?" It felt a bit strange.
After having some food on the submarine to recover my stamina and mana, I asked Tang Xiangdong to help me into the water. He seemed no longer surprised by my peculiarities; after closing the inner hatch, he opened the outer hatch and let the water in.
I released an air bubble that wrapped around Dragon Palace No. 2, then adjusted the bubble so that the handle of Dragon Palace No. 2 was exposed outside the bubble, allowing me to carry it directly.
I turned on Dragon Palace No. 2, and a beam of light instantly pierced through the darkness before me. Wow, its illumination range was at least two hundred meters. At the same time, a halo radiated from around the spotlight, allowing visibility within a five-meter radius centered on the spotlight.
As my body began to sink rapidly, I took out the Mysterious Realm Golden Sphere for easier breathing.
Looking at the watch, it was now five-thirty in the afternoon, showing a water depth of six meters.
700 meters...
800 meters...
900 meters...
1000 meters...
...
I quickly reached the area where the Deep-Sea Dragonfish were located; below me, I could already see countless glowing dots.
I initially planned to use Thunderous Strike to electrocute all these dragonfish. But then I thought again; this was only over a thousand meters deep—who knows what kind of monsters lurked nine thousand meters below? It would be better to conserve some mana. After all, my skin is tough and thick now; I believe these dragonfish wouldn't be able to bite me.
As I guessed, these Deep-Sea Dragonfish were nibbling at me, posing no real threat. It just felt a bit tingly. However, watching those ugly dragonfish swaying in front of me was quite disgusting, so I simply closed my eyes. After about two or three minutes, feeling no more dragonfish on me, I opened my eyes and checked my watch; I had reached a depth of 1800 meters.
1900 meters...
000 meters...
100 meters...
00 meters...
...
I arrived at the area where the Sperm Whale and Giant Squid had been; it was eerily quiet here, with no movement at all.
I continued to sink deeper, the spotlight sweeping across the seabed, revealing nothing but endless darkness ahead.
40 meters...
4600 meters...
4700 meters...
4800 meters...
...
Just as my watch displayed 4865 meters, a massive shadow suddenly flashed in front of the spotlight.
