Wei Chen smiled, a joyful smile.
The words were not in vain; the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming had awakened.
Having complied, what more could there be?
Wei Chen began to envision what would happen once the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming fully activated the so-called Undying Bloodline. To what extent could his power reach?
We shall see!
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming was completely awakened by Wei Chen. He understood everything Wei Chen said. In truth, he had pondered those questions himself, but he was unwilling to accept the Beast Clan Bloodline, unwilling to embrace the identity of a beast.
It was a matter of perspective.
His worldview was still confined to a human-dominated realm, while in the world, the formidable beast clan forces commanded respect and fear.
The Supreme Deity of Southern Ming did not wish to become part of the beast clan because he viewed them as lowly, akin to wild animals.
Under Wei Chen's guidance, he realized that the Beast Clan Bloodline was a powerful lineage. Regardless of race, only those with enough strength could claim dominance!
Wei Chen instructed the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity to rest inside the Rundown Boat while he no longer delayed and leaped into the water.
Killing God Senior unleashed his strongest Mental Strength, nervously following Wei Chen.
This was crucial for him to obtain the Xiaoxiang Divine Sword to reshape his body; he couldn't afford to be calm.
He had suffered enough in his Soul Body state without a physical form.
Especially after witnessing the Great Xia Divine King using fire to reshape himself, Killing God Senior's urgency grew even more intense.
"Wei Chenzi, focus! Your actions now concern the safety of countless people," Killing God Senior reminded Wei Chen.
As Wei Chen slowly descended, he communicated with Killing God Senior through Mental Strength, finding himself in the position of comforting Killing God Senior not to be so anxious...
Damn it, I should be the one feeling nervous. Diving into the depths of adventure is no joke. Killing God Senior certainly doesn't understand the feeling.
Wei Chen was moving slowly at first, like he was swimming at a leisurely pace. Killing God Senior didn’t rush him; he knew that Wei Chen worked methodically and must have his own calculations, so there was no need to hurry or ask.
Maintaining an extremely slow pace, after diving for a mile, Wei Chen finally began to pick up speed. The initial mile was just to acclimate to the water temperature...
The depth of the dive was fixed by natural conditions, and all Wei Chen could do was adapt as much as possible to everything around him.
During the Eastern Forest Contest at the Azure Green Pool, Wei Chen had recklessly dived in without good adaptation. Fortunately, he still succeeded in the end.
Experience is something that accumulates slowly, and this time Wei Chen seemed like a seasoned pro.
Although Wei Chen increased his speed, compared to those from the Golden Clan who came here seeking treasure, his pace was still as slow as a snail. Neither Wei Chen nor Killing God Senior felt rushed. Using Mental Strength to lead the way, Killing God Senior noticed nothing unusual and didn’t remind Wei Chen, allowing him to make his own decisions.
After diving several more miles, Wei Chen gradually analyzed the water's density resistance.
Just like with the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, the initial resistance was significant but not very dense; however, as the depth increased, both density and resistance gradually grew. Coupled with the water pressure from the depths, it was easy to imagine the pressure that Wei Chen had to endure.
After analyzing the increase in density, Wei Chen did not slow down despite the rising water pressure; instead, he sped up even more.
Ordinary treasure seekers usually dive quickly at first, slow down in the middle, and then struggle towards the end.
But for Wei Chen, he started slowly and continued to accelerate afterward.
This counterintuitive approach left Killing God Senior puzzled.
However, at this moment, Killing God Senior refrained from asking questions; any unnecessary distraction could lead to failure at a critical moment. It might just be a matter of a few hundred meters—if you can’t reach it, you can’t reach it.
Wrapped in a thick layer of Divine Power for defense, Wei Chen continued his descent without feeling any major issues. Having adapted to the density resistance and water temperature, he appeared quite at ease.
Not wanting to disturb Wei Chen, Killing God Senior was surprised when Wei Chen proactively transmitted a message: “Killing God Senior, can your current Mental Strength reach the bottom?”
Having already descended over thirty miles, with the strength of Killing God Senior’s Mental Strength, he should be able to probe down to a depth of about a hundred miles below.
"Killing God Senior" said, "It's still too early to touch the bottom."
"Alright, just keep an eye on it. Let me know when you reach the bottom so I can prepare myself mentally."
Wei Chen was bold and skilled; the Divine Power shield was just the first step. Once he reached deeper waters, his Divine Power would surely be insufficient. If this level of Divine Power could reach the bottom, the Xiaoxiang Divine Sword would have long been taken by someone from the Golden Clan, and he wouldn't have had a chance.
What he needed to rely on was Stellar Power.
The Stellar Power within him was far denser than his Divine Power. Moreover, the energy level of Stellar Power was higher than that of Divine Power, as proven in the Fire Clan Secret Realm at the Source of Fire Flower.
Wei Chen was quite confident. With Stellar Power, he could hold out for several breaths at the Source of Fire Flower; what did the water pressure here matter in front of Stellar Power?
Wei Chen was very sure he could dive to the bottom. As for whether he could obtain the Xiaoxiang Divine Sword, that would depend on the situation at that time.
After diving for two or three hours, Wei Chen had reached a depth of sixty miles below the water's surface.
"Killing God Senior, why haven't you sensed anything?" Wei Chen asked.
Killing God Senior replied, "What do you expect me to sense?"
"The bottom! Can't you feel it yet?" Wei Chen pressed.
"If I detect something, I will naturally tell you. Why are you so anxious?" Killing God Senior said.
Wei Chen helplessly asked, "Then tell me, how deep can your Mental Strength probe right now?"
Killing God Senior responded, "About fifty miles down."
"That deep? Still no sign of the bottom?" This truly seemed bottomless.
"That's right; it's bottomless here. Focus and do your own thing; you'll know what to do."
After hearing Killing God Senior's words, Wei Chen could only continue his descent with resignation.
As Wei Chen descended to a depth of over seventy miles, he felt his Divine Power beginning to falter. Within the protective barrier of his Divine Power, Stellar Power surged forth, forming a thick layer of defense.
Before long, Wei Chen's Divine Power defense completely collapsed at a depth of eighty miles.
For someone like Wei Chen, who was at the Divine Realm, specifically the Ninth Level Divine Realm, reaching eighty miles deep meant he could no longer continue his descent. In fact, the only reason he could dive this deep using pure Divine Power was due to his exceptional physical constitution. A typical Ninth Level Divine Realm individual might not have been able to reach such depths.
At eighty miles deep, Wei Chen realized that while his Stellar Power could withstand the immense pressure and resistance to continue descending, the speed of his descent had noticeably slowed. The water density at this level had thickened to a consistency akin to pure liquid metal.
"Come on, just a little more effort! I feel like I’m close to probing the bottom," Killing God Senior encouraged Wei Chen. But did he truly feel that way? Wei Chen struggled onward, and Killing God Senior's Mental Strength was also greatly diminished; he could only probe down to about twenty miles below.
As Wei Chen continued to descend deeper, the density of the viscous liquid increased even further, and the pressure became increasingly terrifying. The range within which Killing God Senior could release his Mental Strength was gradually diminishing...
Wei Chen thought that Killing God Senior was genuinely encouraging him. With renewed enthusiasm, he used both hands and feet to push deeper into the abyss.
At over eighty miles deep in the Golden Clan Secret Realm, very few had ever reached such depths. Only those at the Eleventh Level Divine Realm dared to venture this far and remain. However, those elder fellows of the Golden Clan valued their lives dearly; they held high positions within the clan and would never risk their lives for something as elusive as the Xiaoxiang Divine Sword.
Thus, very few could achieve such depths.
By ninety miles deep, Wei Chen was on the verge of creating a historical record for descent. Unfortunately, no one knew about it or offered him any accolades...
At one hundred miles deep, Wei Chen felt as if several mountains were pressing down on him; even the Demon Lotus Power coursing through his veins began to erupt.
After assisting in completing the revival process of the Heart of the Fire God and restoring the Giant Fire Goddess's body, the Demon Lotus had fallen silent.
Yet now, facing danger once again, the Demon Lotus Power awakened once more, protecting Wei Chen’s blood vessels.
The overwhelming pressure still existed, but the risk of exploding from within had vanished. Wei Chen felt as if he were being crushed by great mountains—much like Sun Wukong trapped beneath Five Elements Mountain. But Sun Wukong was unharmed; he merely felt uncomfortable without any damage to his bloodline and emerged lively afterward.
Wei Chen was in a similar situation; although he was severely suppressed and struggled with each movement—stopping to rest after every hundred meters—the risk was absent. His bloodline remained intact thanks to the protection of Demon Lotus Power, allowing him to continue his descent with peace of mind.
Estimating that he had descended to about one hundred ten miles deep, Wei Chen painstakingly slid downward inch by inch while asking Killing God Senior, "Killing God Senior, are you just pulling my leg? We're this deep already and you still haven't detected where the bottom is?"
Killing God Senior replied awkwardly, "To be honest, my Mental Strength has almost no penetrating power at this depth. I can only tell you that if you go down another three miles, it still won't be the bottom."
"Three miles? Are you saying that your Mental Strength can only detect a distance of three miles?" Wei Chen was astonished. How could Killing God Senior's Mental Strength, which was so powerful, be limited like that?
"That's exactly what I mean. Kid, stop wasting my time and conserve your energy. Just focus on what you need to do," Killing God Senior replied.
A thousand curses raced through Wei Chen's mind, but this wasn't the time to disrespect Killing God Senior. He stopped trying to engage in idle chatter and concentrated, slowly drilling down inch by inch.
Wei Chen's descent became as slow as a snail. Yet, the depth he was reaching in the Golden Clan Secret Realm had never been achieved by anyone before.
On the surface of the water, the Supreme Deity of Southern Ming and Ying Qin Supreme Deity were anxious.
"Supreme Deity of Southern Ming, do you think something might happen to Wei Chen? He's been down there for quite a while now!" Ying Qin Supreme Deity asked.
Supreme Deity of Southern Ming shook his head. "With Wei Chen's temperament, if he's been down there for this long, it actually proves he's close to success."
"What do you mean by that?" Ying Qin Supreme Deity inquired.
Supreme Deity of Southern Ming explained, "In the Golden Clan Secret Realm, none of the predecessors who have descended managed to reach the bottom or obtain the Xiaoxiang Divine Sword. They couldn't have been as strong as Master either."
Supreme Deity of Southern Ming held a deep respect for Wei Chen. Even when Wei Chen wasn't present, he no longer referred to him by name directly.
This was a "great" transformation.
