Chapter 1067 The Sealed Underwater World
"I've made up my mind. This time, I'll go to the heart of the Sea of Death alone. You two stay here and wait for me."
"I will leave the Soul Boat and most of the food on board to you. If I do not return in half a month, the two of you should leave the Sea of Death along the same route as before."
"I'm entrusting this item to you for safekeeping, in case of unforeseen circumstances."
As Tang Lan spoke, she had already entrusted the Guardian Heart of the Fishman King to Long Yao.
Of the three, Long Yao is the weakest and also the one who needs the most protection from such a soul tool.
"I can't accept this. The interior of the Sea of Death is undoubtedly more dangerous than the outside. Brother Tang Lan, you should keep it with you!"
When Long Yao saw Tang Lan hand over this level-nine soul tool to her, her expression faltered slightly.
When she came to her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little touched. She hadn't expected that Tang Lan would think of her first in such a difficult time.
Looking back on how the two first met, it doesn't seem to have been a pleasant experience; they could even be described as enemies.
Fortunately, the ending was good in the end. She knew that Tang Lan was not a bad person, and Tang Lan also learned about her background.
This also proves that not all the people in the Huanglong Sect are bad; in fact, many of them are forced into this situation and suffer greatly as a result.
Thus, Long Yao and Bell had no choice but to agree to Tang Lan's decision.
Tang Lan also stayed with the two of them on Windbird Island for three days to recuperate.
Three days later, at dawn, the sky cleared completely, and the distant thunder and lightning were no longer visible.
"Brother Tang Lan, you must be careful!"
Long Yao and Bell stood atop the mountain on Windbird Island, watching Tang Lan gradually ascend into the sky.
"Don't worry, no one in this world can do anything to me."
Tang Lanchong and the other person said a brief goodbye, then turned around and flew into the sky towards the distant sea.
A brief separation only means a better reunion next time, so Tang Lan doesn't feel any reluctance.
Moreover, he has an even more important task to do this time.
Only by quickly gathering the necessary spirit rings and increasing his strength can he return to the Tang Sect to deal with the upcoming crisis.
The Tang Clan is currently rising rapidly, and the number of experts within the clan is no longer sufficient to sustain its expansion.
With countless enemies, the Tang Clan is likely to be besieged by rival sects that form alliances.
As Tang Lan walked further forward, the colors of the surrounding seas became increasingly deep.
The scene was not quite as expected; not a single soul beast could be seen in the Sea of Death for an hour.
This puzzled Tang Lan greatly, as it seemed to differ somewhat from the description on the map of the Sea of Death that she had previously acquired at auction.
According to the above statement, there are countless powerful soul beasts in the heart of the Sea of Death.
Once a human soul master enters, they will soon be targeted by some powerful sea soul beasts.
However, Tang Lan flew over this sea area for several hours but still did not see a single soul beast.
After a moment's thought, Tang Lan plunged into the sea and swam towards the seabed.
Although her strength would be greatly reduced in the water, the impact on Tang Lan was not as great as she had imagined.
Moreover, Tang Lan didn't go down there to fight those soul beasts, but rather to find out what exactly happened in the inner sea of the Sea of Death.
Concealing her presence, Tang Lan descended from 500 meters to 1,000 meters underwater, and the surroundings gradually brightened from complete darkness.
"What's going on? This place is as beautiful as the legendary Dragon Palace!"
Tang Lan could see colorful coral reefs below, and even strangely shaped underwater mountains.
They are like underwater palaces sculpted by nature.
Tang Lan dived in and found that it had long been submerged by a large amount of seabed dust, and only the outline could be vaguely seen.
Even so, one can still discern the various outlines within: pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted rafters, and even inscriptions of mountains, rivers, and auspicious beasts.
"Could it be that this place was once a continent?"
"But how did this continent end up here? What power turned this continent into this state?!"
Looking around, Tang Lan had a vague feeling that there must be a major secret hidden there.
However, due to some reasons, it was mercilessly sealed away here by the passage of time.
Does the so-called Sea of Death refer to the soul beasts in the seabed, or to the ancient continent that once flourished countless years ago and remains unknown to the world?
Soon Tang Lan discovered a series of lifelike stone carvings.
However, the stone sculpture is not human, but a giant bird with two heads, which is five zhang tall.
The giant bird stood atop a mountain peak, its posture appearing as if it were about to take flight, but its body remained frozen in that moment forever.
The latest novel is first published here!
Upon closer inspection, Tang Lan discovered that the giant bird stone sculpture contained immense soul power.
However, this soul power is extremely special, containing a powerful petrifying and sealing force.
"Such an ancient and powerful forbidden technique, is it petrification?"
"It seems this place wasn't sealed off without reason, but rather deliberately kept secret by someone."
Tang Lan murmured to herself as she continued exploring.
Seeing a huge stone gate suddenly appear in front of him, he immediately waved his hand and unleashed a powerful burst of soul power.
The soul power opened the stone door effortlessly.
Although the terrifying range of petrification was indeed formidable, the power had been weakened countless times over the years.
It could seal this place off, but it couldn't do anything to Tang Lan.
Upon entering the stone gate, Tang Lan arrived at a grand hall. The surroundings were dilapidated, with everything a petrified gray-white.
However, Tang Lan saw some intricate characters on a stone wall, but couldn't understand what they said.
However, based on mere speculation, Tang Lan believes this should be the name of a residence or the name of this estate.
"So many years have passed, I just don't know if any of them have managed to survive."
"If not, there probably won't be much to gain this time."
While they were talking, Tang Lan had already opened several stone doors, but the scene was exactly the same as before, with almost no usable clues.
By chance, Tang Lan seemed to spot a strange wooden box.
Just as I reached out to open it, the wooden box turned to ashes and vanished.
Not only the wooden box, but almost everything except the stone chambers built against the mountainside would turn to ashes and disappear the moment Tang Lan approached.
This also made Tang Lan realize one thing: the things in front of you may not actually exist.
It may seem like you've seen everything, but in reality, these things are nothing more than illusions that will vanish in the blink of an eye.
They once existed, but were left only as fragile shells by the power of sealing and the erosion of time.
"This should be an ancient kingdom. It doesn't seem to be the result of a battle between humans and soul beasts."
"It's more like a scene of humans and spirit beasts fighting together against some unknown entity." (End of Chapter)
