Chapter 413 The Lost Sea
"Is this the end? I didn't meet the requirements for the third level!" Ma Xiaotao looked around at Xiao Xiao and the others, and then at Elder Xuan and the others who were rushing over from not far away.
"Sister Xiaotao, what's your final test?" Xiao Xiao shook her head and stepped forward to ask.
"Forget Wu Xuan, or stay in Qiankun Wenqing Valley for the rest of your life!" Ma Xiaotao sneered.
"Me too! But this assessment should ultimately be invalidated," Ye Guyi said, stepping forward.
After a brief discussion, the three women came to the conclusion that the person behind Qiankun Wenqing Valley wanted to completely sever their connection with Wu Xuan. However, they ultimately messed things up.
"That's great, Dong'er, I haven't forgotten you, sob sob sob!" Huo Yuhao, with tears in his eyes, forcibly embraced Wang Dong'er's slender waist and cried out.
His final requirement for passing the challenge was to completely forget Wang Dong'er, and it's wonderful that he hasn't forgotten her yet.
"Don't touch me, stay away from me!" Wang Dong'er frowned slightly and forcefully pushed away Huo Yuhao's hands that were around her waist.
"Dong'er, Dong'er, what's wrong? It's me, Yuhao!" Huo Yuhao was at a loss, not understanding why his girlfriend was resisting his approach.
"I'm sorry, Yuhao, my heart is in turmoil. I want to be alone!" Wang Dong'er's eyes seemed to hold a struggle and a hint of resistance. Then she flew away without looking back.
Huo Yuhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his knees buckled and he collapsed to his knees. "No, Dong'er! How can I live without you! Dong'er!"
The three women, including Ma Xiaotao, who felt they had stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip, exchanged glances, their eyes darting back and forth, seemingly exchanging secrets.
"Xiao Tao, where are Wu Xuan and Wang Qiu'er? Why didn't they come out with you?" Elder Xuan, who arrived at the group of five at the fastest speed he had ever been, asked hurriedly.
"Elder Xuan, don't worry, Wu Xuan and the other two should still be inside Qiankun Wenqing Valley. A moment later..." Before Ye Guyi could finish speaking, the golden and silver mist that had been swirling in the valley vanished instantly, revealing the original landscape.
In an instant, Elder Xuan and the others' expressions changed drastically; Wu Xuan and Wang Qiu'er had vanished!
The realm of the gods, the temple of the sea god.
"Hmm~!" Tang San, who had been sitting upright in the main seat, suddenly trembled violently. As his consciousness returned, a muffled groan came from his throat.
"All our efforts have been in vain! All our efforts have been in vain!" Enraged, Tang Buddha smashed the armrest of his chair with a single slap. The cooked duck had flown away, infuriating this high and mighty god-king to the extreme.
He truly hadn't expected the God of Destruction to value his Tang Clan descendant so highly, not only bestowing upon him a divine seed but also violating the rules of the divine realm by granting him power that only deities possess.
To achieve such a level of skill, even one's own father would have to admit defeat.
The divine realm has explicit rules prohibiting deities from descending to the mortal realm, nor forcing them to interfere with its operations. He had violated this rule once, giving the God of Destruction a handle to seize his divine central authority. This time, with the interference of the Valley of Love and Destiny in the mortal realm, he left no evidence. However, he dared not cause trouble for the God of Destruction over this matter.
If he dared to do that, it would be tantamount to blatantly handing the God of Destruction a handle against him. Although the God of Destruction would also be punished, as one of the five great law enforcement gods of the divine realm, he would certainly be punished even more severely.
Therefore, handling it gently is in his best interest.
The high and mighty God-King paced back and forth in the hall. Abandoning Wu Xuan was tantamount to abandoning a loyal and top-tier combatant, and he was truly unwilling to accept it. But the matter was already settled, and he could only think of another way.
After a long while, the compassionate Buddha sighed, his gaze becoming more resolute than ever before. He hadn't lost yet. Now that things had come to this, he was determined to seize the fate of the soul beast; he couldn't afford to lose it again.
"."
After an unknown amount of time, as consciousness returned, Wu Xuan finally opened his dazed eyes with difficulty, and what came into view was the azure sky and the boundless sea.
"He's awake! Little Wu Xuan is awake!" A joyful male voice rang in Wu Xuan's ears.
"I can see it, I don't need your reminder, you piece of trash." An impatient voice interrupted the man's voice.
"Where am I? How did I end up floating in the sea?" Feeling the coldness on his back, Wu Xuan slowly sat up and looked around blankly.
"Little Wu Xuan, have you forgotten? This is the sea. It was that hateful god who forcibly brought you here." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm explained to Wu Xuan while wriggling its fat body, vividly describing the events that had transpired.
The divine consciousness of Buddha Tang descending to the mortal realm was instantly destroyed by the life-saving means given by the God of Destruction. The terrifying gold and silver energy was directly destroyed by the divine power, and the energy tide that was stirred up at that moment directly knocked Wu Xuan and Wang Qiu'er, who were left in place, out of sight.
Wu Xuan instantly remembered. Yes! He had finally managed to escape a meticulously planned and unavoidable scheme.
Thinking of this, Wu Xuan wanted to burst into laughter, a surge of heroic spirit filling his chest. From now on, the sky is the limit for birds to fly, the sea is the limit for fish to leap, and the world is vast enough for him to roam freely.
"By the way, Hyotei! How long have I been unconscious?" Wu Xuan stepped on the solid ice beneath his feet, a worried expression creeping onto his face.
Lost at sea, how can he save himself?
"It's been three days!" Ice Emperor responded, returning the storage soul tool in his hand to Wu Xuan.
Wu Xuan's previous injuries were quite severe. His recovery within three days was largely due to the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the help of the Ice Emperor and others. If he had fallen directly into the sea, he might already be fish food in the ocean.
Luck has its limits; in such a desperate situation, even the strongest luck is useless.
"Thank you!" Wu Xuan put his storage soul tool back on and smiled at Ice Emperor.
"Xiao Wuxuan, what are you planning to do next? It won't be easy to get back to land on this vast ocean." Bingdi asked thoughtfully.
"It's not easy, but at least we have a goal. I'll find Wang Qiu'er first and then make further plans!" Wu Xuan clenched his fists and looked at the two from Ice Emperor.
Upon hearing this, the two nodded slightly and transformed into energy orbs, returning to Wu Xuan's spiritual sea.
Wu Xuan twisted his neck, then leaped into the sky. As a quasi-Soul Douluo with the wind attribute, Wu Xuan's energy consumption during aerial flight was among the lowest of all Soul Masters.
With his eyes closed in deep thought, sensing the guidance of the power of destiny, Wu Xuan turned around and searched for the location on his left.
Soon, trouble arose from high-altitude flight as a large flock of bird-like spirit beasts screeched and swooped down towards Wu Xuan. Faced with this sudden provocation, Wu Xuan naturally showed no mercy, rushing forward and scattering the flock of birds into pieces.
However, not long after, another large flock of flying spirit beasts attacked Wu Xuan. After dealing with the mortal flies once again, Wu Xuan had to lower his flight altitude.
Finally, all those annoying disturbances are gone.
