A Candle at the Bottom of the Sea
In Ling Shuang's eyes, she had already told Luo Zheng the whole story of the Great Whirlpool.
So far, no one had been able to break the Great Whirlpool, but Luo Zheng still came in regardless of his own safety. She was naturally moved.
Luo Zheng was not a reckless person. Just as they were moving, Luo Zheng also asked 9527.
9527's view was the same as Luo Zheng's. Since he had entered the sea with his physical body, there was nothing to be afraid of. Besides, his Sun Soul had been trapped in the Great Whirlpool, so there was almost no other choice.
And 9527 had its own speculations. It told Luo Zheng that the Great Whirlpool did not appear out of thin air, but was deliberately arranged by someone.
Hearing 9527's words, Luo Zheng was even more curious. Who was so powerful that they could control the Sea of Truth? What was their purpose in arranging the Great Whirlpool? Was it to cut off the path to the other side?
9527 obviously knew some of the truth, but it did not tell Luo Zheng.
After Luo Zheng entered the Great Whirlpool, he swam around Ling Shuang and said, "I'll go explore the center of the Great Whirlpool first."
Ling Shuang sat on the Boat of Truth with mixed feelings. On one hand, she also hoped that Luo Zheng could solve the Great Whirlpool. On the other hand, she was worried about Luo Zheng's safety. In the end, she could only say softly, "You … be careful …"
"Don't worry. If there is any emergency, you can leave the Sea of Truth first," Luo Zheng said.
Ling Shuang nodded.
After the Great Whirlpool appeared, it was not static.
Every once in a while, the waves inside the Great Whirlpool would become more and more turbulent. At that time, all the Boats of Truth in the Great Whirlpool would be unable to resist and would be pulled into the center of the Great Whirlpool at an extremely fast speed. At that time, there was almost no other way except to use the Illusion Breaking Spell to leave the Sea of Truth.
Luo Zheng's figure leaped and drew a line in the water, quickly distancing himself from Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang looked at Luo Zheng's distant figure in the water, and was slightly stunned.
She knew that the chances of breaking the Great Maelstrom were extremely slim, but for some reason, Luo Zheng gave her a strong sense of hope, as if he would definitely succeed.
This strange feeling intertwined with the rationality in her heart, making her feel conflicted.
"Huala …"
Not far away, two True Intent boats approached. These were the True Intent boats of two humans.
After Ling Shuang killed the wolf creature's Yang soul, all the other creatures were stunned, including the humans present.
Those who had cultivated their Yang Soul would more or less grasp some methods of spiritual attacks, but it was impossible for them to explode with power like Ling Shuang's.
The two of them approached cautiously, thinking that since they were of the same race, this woman probably wouldn't kill them in a fit of rage …
They cupped their hands towards Ling Shuang and said, "I am a disciple of Chang Miaoshan. May I know where this young lady is from?"
Ling Shuang looked at the two of them indifferently. "What is it?"
"Is the person swimming in the water your friend, Miss?" the man asked again.
"So what if he is?" Ling Shuang said.
The man thought for a moment and said, "I have never heard of anyone who can swim in the Sea of True Intent. Is he trying to find a way to break the Great Maelstrom?"
"Perhaps …"
Ling Shuang brushed him off with a few words.
These people were trapped here, so naturally, they were also concerned about Luo Zheng's success.
To the outside world, the Great Maelstrom was unbreakable, and those who were sucked into it could only blame themselves for being unlucky. However, since Luo Zheng had already broken one common sense, perhaps he could break a second common sense?
The two of them asked a few more questions, and upon hearing Ling Shuang's increasingly hostile tone, they quickly retreated in fear of her anger.
However, these words brought hope to the hundreds of human disciples.
…
The water in the Great Maelstrom was spiral-shaped, and there was a natural centripetal force.
Under the guidance of the water, Luo Zheng's progress was very smooth.
As he continued to go deeper, the power of the water grew stronger, and his speed became faster and faster.
"Huala, huala …"
After swimming for about half an hour, the water became violent, and waves that were several feet high constantly fluctuated and rolled.
To a Sun Soul that only had one True Intent boat, such huge waves were almost fatal. As long as the seawater splashed onto the Sun Soul, it would instantly dissolve.
"No wonder Ling Shuang said that there is no way out once one is trapped in the Great Maelstrom. Whose Sun Soul would dare to move forward in these waves? Other than leaving the Sea of True Intent, there is indeed no other choice … "Luo Zheng thought to himself.
His physical body was like a fish in water in such an environment.
He did not use a trace of strength.
His entire body was pushed forward by the seawater.
In just a few breaths' time, Luo Zheng finally saw the center of the Great Maelstrom. The True Intent seawater was spiraling at high speed here, forming a huge hole.
Luo Zheng did not have any room to resist at all and was directly sucked into the hole!
"Gululu …"
After a moment of dizziness, Luo Zheng only felt the power of the water like an invisible hand, dragging him down.
His entire body kept sinking, and sinking.
After a while, the sinking momentum finally came to a stop …
Luo Zheng stabilized his body and opened his eyes to look around. His gaze was immediately attracted by a scene not far away.
Not far in front of him, the water was spiraling rapidly like a tornado. The shape of this tornado was like an upside-down pyramid. The top was incomparably wide, and the bottom was as slender as a rope.
"This is … the Great Maelstrom!" Luo Zheng quickly reacted.
He had just been sucked down by this tornado in the water. If it was any other Sun Soul that had been sucked down, it would have been directly dissolved by the seawater.
But after his physical body was sucked down, he was thrown out by this tornado!
Luo Zheng's gaze followed the tornado and looked down. In the crimson red seawater, he could not see very far. He could only vaguely make out that there seemed to be a faint flash in the depths of the sea.
"There is something down there." Luo Zheng's heart stirred slightly.
He bent down and plunged, continuing to dive into the depths of the sea.
The depths of the True Intent Sea were empty. Luo Zheng did not see any other living creatures, so naturally, there was no threat.
It was just that the length of this tornado in the water was beyond his imagination. After diving all the way down for several hundred feet, he still could not see the end of the tornado. And the waterspout not far in front of him was already as thin as a finger!
Such a thin stream of water was actually able to create such a huge whirlpool. One could imagine the power condensed in the tornado.
After diving down for a while, the faint flash at the bottom became brighter and brighter. When Luo Zheng got closer to this white flash and saw clearly what was at the bottom of the waterspout, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
"Wax, candle?"
