The more beasts there were, the more Cultivators that came to the trench. Naturally, it was impossible for them to coexist peacefully. The beasts would attack Cultivators. For the beasts, Cultivators who have been tempered by spiritual qi were a great source of nourishment. Cultivators also wanted to obtain beasts in order to use them for refining. In this case, it was impossible for them to coexist peacefully. At this time, there were already some Cultivators that were fighting against the beasts in the trench.
What surprised Zhao Hai was the fact that many Cultivators weren't a match for the beasts. What surprised Zhao Hai even more was the fact that the other Cultivators didn't help when they saw other Cultivators being eaten by the beasts. They would just watch from the side and wait for the Cultivators to die before making a move.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai didn't know what to say. He also knew why these Cultivators had such a reaction. They were afraid that if they went to help, the Cultivators who were attacked by the beasts would turn around and attack them. In the trench, there were no legal restrictions. Cultivators who lived here all year round didn't care about morality. In order to obtain things for cultivation, they would do anything.
Zhao Hai didn't care about them. He first went to the edge of the cliff and took some herbs from the bottom of the sea to the Space. Then he caught a few beasts. Although the strength of these beasts was good, they were still lacking compared to Zhao Hai. Therefore, Zhao Hai directly caught a few beasts and put them into the Space.
Shui Zhi was just watching from the side. He didn't know why Zhao Hai did this. He was very clear about Zhao Hai's identity. He knew that Zhao Hai was the Sect Master of the Sea Exploring Sect. Although the Sea Exploring Sect wasn't a top sect in the Sword Spirit Boundary, it wasn't weak. It was impossible for a sect like this to lose something. So why did Zhao Hai catch the beasts and collect the herbs?
Naturally, Zhao Hai didn't say anything to him. Instead, he dived all the way down and soon reached a depth of 200 meters. The surroundings were pitch black, but the plants on the walls were emitting a faint light. This allowed Zhao Hai and the others to see their surroundings.
However, most of Zhao Hai's attention was focused on the silver needles that were diving down. These silver needles were the ones that were forcefully sucked into the trench. He really wanted to know what was at the bottom of the trench.
However, the silver needles had already dived for more than ten thousand meters, yet they still hadn't dived any lower. This was very strange. The depth of this oceanic trench was definitely greater than what the cultivators from the various sects had estimated.
This made Zhao Hai even more curious. He really wanted to know what was at the bottom. Moreover, he discovered that the deeper he dived, the smaller the area became. He believed that it wouldn't take long for him to reach the bottom.
However, as the silver needles went down, Zhao Hai also went down. Zhao Hai was prepared to dive to a depth of a thousand meters in order to see what was there. Although there were a lot of cultivators in this oceanic trench, these cultivators would generally stay within 500 meters of the trench. Only a few cultivators would dive to a depth of a thousand meters. This was because the pressure, the pulling force, and the temperature weren't something that ordinary cultivators could withstand. Additionally, there were also demon beasts in the trench. The deeper one dived, the stronger the demon beasts were. If a cultivator wasn't strong enough to dive down, then it would be tantamount to courting death.
Zhao Hai dived down bit by bit. At this time, the silver needles had already dived to a depth of twelve thousand meters. The area of the trench had also become a lot smaller. At this time, it had become a hundred meters long and fifty meters wide trench. It seems like it was about to reach the bottom.
However, what Zhao Hai didn't expect was that the trench that was about to reach the bottom seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit. The silver needles had already dived to a depth of fifteen thousand meters, but they still hadn't reached the bottom. At this time, the trench was only ten meters long and five meters wide. However, it still didn't reach the bottom.
Zhao Hai was dumbfounded. He really didn't understand what was inside the trench. How could such a thing happen? How could a ten meters long and five meters wide fissure produce such a strong suction force? This was too strange.
At this time, Zhao Hai had already dived to a depth of five hundred meters. However, he didn't stop and continued to dive down. During this process, he collected some herbs as well as several types of beasts. However, he didn't attack the other Cultivators. The other Cultivators didn't attack him either, they didn't kill each other either. Everyone was either fighting with beasts or collecting herbs. Nobody fought at all, it was as if everything was very peaceful. This was very different from the rumors.
However, Zhao Hai didn't care. He looked at the other people and continued to dive. In fact, there weren't many people at this depth. On the contrary, there were a lot of Cultivators who noticed Zhao Hai and Shui Zhi. They stopped what they were doing and stared at them.
For most of the Cultivators in the trench, a depth of five hundred meters was actually a watershed. This was because whether it was the pressure, heat, or temperature, they couldn't bear it. So when they saw someone diving down, they naturally became curious.
At this time, the silver needle in Zhao Hai's hand had already reached 16,000 meters. The crack had become even smaller, it was now less than 8 meters long. The widest part of the crack was now only 3 meters wide.
Then the silver needles dived to seventeen thousand meters. At this time, the fissure was only five meters long and two meters wide. At this time, Zhao Hai had also dived to a depth of seven hundred meters. Even with the iron bowl's protection, Zhao Hai could feel that the surrounding temperature had dropped to a very dangerous degree.
However, he didn't stop. Instead, he made a hand seal and dived deeper. However, the temperature inside the iron bowl increased. The two didn't feel cold at all.
At this time, the silver needles finally reached a depth of eighteen thousand meters. At this time, the fissure was only one meter long and half a meter wide. But at this time, the silver needles also emitted a golden light. This made Zhao Hai even more curious. He believed that the silver needles had finally reached the bottom of the trench.
At this time, Zhao Hai also stopped. He had already dived to a depth of nine hundred meters. He wanted to know what was down there. He was afraid of an accident, so he stopped.
At this time, the silver needles finally reached the bottom of the trench. But when Zhao Hai saw the situation at the bottom of the trench, he couldn't help but stare. This was because he didn't expect to see something like this at the bottom of the trench.
At the bottom of the trench was a golden turtle. On the turtle's back was a small monolith. The monolith and the turtle had already grown together. This made the turtle look charmingly naive and cute.
However, Zhao Hai didn't dare to underestimate the turtle and the monolith. It was clear that the turtle and the monolith had been together for countless years. The turtle and the monolith had already fused together. However, the monolith shouldn't be something that the turtle liked to carry. Instead, it was used to suppress the turtle. Although the turtle was lying there without moving, it could be seen that it was being suppressed.
Upon seeing the turtle, Zhao Hai couldn't help but think of a Divine Beast, Baxia, the sixth of the nine sons of the Dragon. It was very strong, liked to carry heavy loads, and had a gentle temperament. However, it was clear that this turtle wasn't Baxia. The monolith was used to suppress him.
Zhao Hai stared blankly at the iron bowl. He didn't know what to say. Why would there be such a turtle in the trench? Could it be that the huge suction force from before came from this turtle?
While Zhao Hai was observing the turtle, the turtle seemed to have felt his observation. It slowly turned its head and looked at the direction of the silver needles. Although Zhao Hai made the silver needles very small, he didn't know why, but he still felt that the silver needles that he released were discovered by the turtle.
Zhao Hai took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, we're going up." Naturally, Shui Zhi didn't have any objections. He followed Zhao Hai up to the surface. This process was much slower than diving down. This was because when you dive down, there would be a pulling force that would make you dive faster. But when you go upstream, this pulling force would become your biggest resistance. Because of this, going upstream was much slower.
However, for Zhao Hai, this wasn't a big deal. He was just a bit slower compared to when he was diving down. However, his speed was still very fast. Before long, they returned to the depth of 500 meters. After 500 meters, Zhao Hai's speed became faster and faster. It didn't take long for them to return to the surface.
After reaching the surface, Zhao Hai and the others immediately returned to the Spirit Crab Island's ship. When Zhang Shuwei saw that Zhao Hai and the others had returned, he immediately greeted them. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Junior Brother Jing Hai, how do you feel this time?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Not bad, I feel good. Senior Brother, I'll be going into seclusion for a few days. Can I ask Senior Brother to not let anyone disturb me?"
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Zhang Shuwei couldn't help but stare. Then he smiled and said, "Of course, of course. Junior Brother can go into seclusion. I definitely won't let anyone disturb you." Zhang Shuwei felt strange. He didn't know what Zhao Hai encountered in the sea. Why would he go into seclusion as soon as he came back?
Not to mention Zhang Shuwei, even Shui Zhi didn't know. He couldn't understand why Zhao Hai suddenly went into seclusion after catching a few beasts and collecting some herbs. What's going on? However, Shui Zhi didn't ask too much as he followed Zhao Hai into his room.
Zhao Hai looked at Shui Zhi and said, "Shui Zhi, I'll be going into seclusion for a few days. You stay here and don't let anyone come in. Also, don't let anyone disturb me, not even Zhang Shuwei. Do you remember?"
Shui Zhi immediately replied, "Yes, Young Master. I'll remember. Young Master can rest assured."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he returned to his room. After arriving at his room, his figure flashed as he returned to the Space. Then he looked at the turtle through the Space's screen. The turtle was also looking at him. The turtle's head looked like a dragon's head. Its carapace was also different from other turtles. Its limbs were thick and short, but it looked very powerful. At this time, the turtle was tilting its head as it looked at the silver needle with a curious expression.
