Chapter 605: Chapter 359 Weak Water

“`

“An Eighth Rank Ancient Demon, hm, that’s fine, I’ll be traveling with Elder Feng.”

Chen Mu took a moment to think before agreeing.

He too needed to return to the Earthly Abyss; the next step was to locate the positions marked on the Demon Skin Map to see if any opportunities still existed. Before that, joining Feng Hongsheng on a trip wouldn’t be an issue, especially since, according to Feng, he had likely found a promising lead.

After seizing the Heaven and Earth Dew, Chen Mu had witnessed the transformation of the world firsthand, the terrain where the azure lotus rose from the ground utterly collapsed. The locations recorded on his Demon Skin Map, despite their profound and mysterious terrain, were of unknown status after so many years. Whether they still existed was uncertain, and ultimately it all came down to luck and exploration.

Especially according to his judgment.

The position recorded on the Demon Skin Map seemed to be deeper than the Fourth Layer of the Earthly Abyss he had initially anticipated, possibly even below the Fifth Layer. The deeper one went into the Earthly Abyss, the more terrifying it became. By the Fifth Layer, it was not uncommon to encounter Ninth Rank Heavenly Demons and Demons; although he wasn’t fearful, travelling would not be as easy and casual anymore.

“That’s perfect, let’s set out immediately to prevent others from getting there first.”

Upon hearing Chen Mu’s consent, Feng Hongsheng immediately showed a hint of excitement. After arriving in the Earthly Abyss, everyone quickly dispersed to act on their own, and even if he wanted to reach out to others, it was difficult. Now that he had run into Chen Mu by chance, the opportunity had greatly increased. Moving earlier would also prevent others from beating them to the punch.

Without delay,

Feng Hongsheng wasted no more words and immediately led Chen Mu back into the Earthly Abyss.

Once the two entered the Earthly Abyss, Feng took the lead, rapidly making their way to its depths, while Chen Mu followed calmly by his side, walking as if taking a leisurely stroll, yet closely following Feng.

After almost a thousand miles, Feng led Chen into the Second Layer of the Earthly Abyss, then after winding through hundreds of miles, they entered the Third Layer through a cave entrance.

Upon reaching the Third Layer, Feng became much more cautious.

Encountering Seventh Rank Demon Kings and Ancient Demons was quite common on this level, and although he was not afraid of Seventh Rank Ancient Demons, an Eighth Rank Demon King would be a different story, often necessitating a retreat.

Even though Chen Mu was behind him and together they wouldn’t be too afraid of an Eighth Rank Demon King, there was no need to engage in a hard fight with an Eighth Rank Demon King or Ancient Demon if there were no benefits involved.

In this manner,

they delved nearly a thousand miles further into the Third Layer, until finally Feng’s pace began to slow, and he whispered:

“Peak Master Chen, we’re here.”

Hearing Feng’s words, Chen Mu also narrowed his eyes slightly, looking ahead into the distance where he saw a sprawling lake some miles away at the edge of his vision!

The lake was not very large, at most a few miles in circumference, but it had a pitch-black color, giving off an oppressive and profound sense of terror at a mere glance, deterring anyone from approaching.

“Weak Water?”

Chen Mu focused and observed the lake, murmuring to himself.

“Indeed, it’s Weak Water,” Feng slowly confirmed.

Weak Water.

Nothing could float on it, and it was filled with deadly poison, making it an extremely special kind of water. The poisons created from this water were potent enough that even those in the Five Organ and Six Viscera Realm could not fend them off, and they posed at least a slight threat to a Grandmaster.

A Grandmaster’s Martial Body could resist Weak Water, but would still be eroded by it, hence they usually did not wish to come in contact with it.

“Within this Weak Water, there’s an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon that guards it. As soon as I approached, it drove me away. While the Weak Water does have deadly poison, the fact that such a body of Weak Water exists within the Earthly Abyss means there must be something extraordinary at its bottom.”

Feng’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the body of Weak Water, explaining the situation to Chen Mu.

While Weak Water was tricky, and a Grandmaster Martial Body couldn’t completely resist it, the threat to a Grandmaster was still minimal. There were many ways to isolate oneself from Weak Water, but with an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon present, it was a completely different story.

Feng was even somewhat relieved that when he had first attempted to enter the water, the Ancient Demon did not wait for him to be fully submerged before launching a surprise attack but had instead actively attacked and driven him away as he approached.

If not for that,

had he been ambushed by an Eighth Rank Ancient Demon while in the Weak Water, it would have been extremely dangerous, and with his abilities, he couldn’t be sure he could escape unscathed, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he perished in the Weak Water due to a moment’s carelessness.

“An accompanying object?”

Chen Mu, upon hearing Feng’s words, thoughtfully observed the pool of Weak Water.

In the world between Heaven and Earth, Yin Yang Mutual Generation is indeed a concept; wherever Weak Water emerges, an accompanying object exists. While Weak Water might not be too beneficial for them, the accompanying object would be different, as whatever Spiritual Objects it might be, they were certainly invaluable.

“Yes, the Ancient Demon in this Weak Water Pond is highly vigilant of me. It didn’t wait for me to submerge before it actively attacked and chased me away, seemingly unwilling to allow me into the Weak Water at all costs. The stranger its behavior, the more it indicates that the treasures guarded within the Weak Water are out of the ordinary.”

Feng narrowed his eyes as he spoke, then turned to Chen Mu, saying, “Peak Master Chen, you practice the Qiankun path, and your movement technique is no slower than mine. You should be able to approach and lure the Ancient Demon out. Once it’s distracted, I will conceal my presence and sneak into the Weak Water to see what’s actually hidden beneath it.”

Feng knew of Chen Mu’s remarkable strength and wasn’t sure he could win even against him. However, Weak Water exerted tremendous suppression on those who had not yet developed a Martial Body, with almost certain death upon contact for those in the Five Organ and Viscera Realm, with only those who had formed a Martial Body capable of resisting it to some extent. Therefore, diving into the water, a perilous task, naturally fell to him.
