In the Island Nation, the Americans were abuzz with discussions, dismissing the arrival of reinforcements from Huaxia. According to their intelligence, the day before, Ye Xiaoying, the top martial artist of Huaxia, had gone missing beneath the sea. With their strongest fighter lost to the depths, they believed sending more people would be futile. As night fell, they doubted that the Huaxia people would dare to venture into the deep sea under the cover of darkness.
The deeper one went underwater, the darker it became. However, this particular depth was only about five to six hundred meters, relatively shallow compared to where the Undying Dragon Clan was sealed. Jiang Chen activated the Avoid Water Technique and descended rapidly like a fish through the water. The dimness of the ocean floor brought a sense of profound oppression, but it had no effect on him. His gaze swept across the seabed, searching for anything suspicious.
When he reached the underwater ruins, darkness enveloped him as the sun dipped below the horizon. The absence of light cast a shadow over everything. Yet, this darkness posed little challenge for Jiang Chen; he activated his spiritual sight and perceived everything clearly beneath the waves.
The ruins had likely existed for countless years and were now in a state of decay, submerged in seawater and covered by the remains of plankton. Only vague outlines remained, hinting at a civilization that once thrived here. After surveying the area without finding anything significant, Jiang Chen located an entrance to a treasure cave. The opening resembled a monstrous maw capable of swallowing even darkness itself. As he approached it, his spiritual sense was triggered—a signal of danger.
On Earth, even figures like Chi Xu Shen or Blood Ancestor could not instill fear in Jiang Chen; yet this underwater entrance emanated an aura of peril. A smile crept across his face as his interest piqued—this was what made things interesting. If there were no element of danger, it would be utterly boring.
Of course, he had no idea where this danger originated from; after all, they were underwater and this entrance was deep and potentially prone to collapse. However, overthinking wouldn’t help; he decided to enter first. Ye Xiaoying must have disappeared into this cave.
With a thought, Jiang Chen darted into the cave like an underwater torpedo. The passage widened as he progressed; after about a hundred meters, he emerged into a vast chamber that was still flooded with seawater but had little silt on the ground. Piles of gold lay scattered about, strikingly visible.
Yet Jiang Chen held no interest in gold. Upon closer inspection, he surmised that this space resembled a pyramid: square at its base with an estimated area of several hundred square meters and standing over twenty meters tall.
Within this chamber, there were no fluctuations of spiritual energy—just remnants of an ancient civilization submerged in water for millennia. Even if it had once been a realm of cultivation, centuries under seawater would have drained any lingering spiritual essence.
After carefully examining his surroundings without finding any trace of Ye Xiaoying—who should have left some sign if she had perished here—it felt as though she had vanished into thin air.
"Could there be other passages?" Jiang Chen speculated as his gaze suddenly fixed on a stone sarcophagus—or rather, a container resembling one—sitting awkwardly on the ground. It seemed out of place amidst the gold that surrounded it; anyone entering this chamber would likely overlook such an unremarkable object in favor of treasures gleaming all around.
