Deep inside the sea, countless fishes swam by. They were of all shapes and colors.
As far as the eye could see, it was a colorful coral reef. The colors were bright and eye-catching.
However, the most eye-catching one was an emerald blue pearl.
It was suspending in the sea and shedding down light. It wrapped around a person who had lost consciousness and was floating aimlessly in the sea.
It was Ling Xian.
After he jumped into the sea, Xuanyuan Hong's attack still landed on him. This made his already wounded self even worse and he fell into unconsciousness.
Luckily, the Water Taming Pearl was a Heaven and Earth treasure that could repel all kinds of water. Along the way, he didn't run into any sea monsters, which was why his life was saved.
However, he was now in a deep coma and could only float on the sea to somewhere far away.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xian's head smashed into a coral reef. The pain made him groan and open his eyes.
His eyes were dim and no longer as bright and profound as before. It was obvious how heavily wounded he was.
"Did I … survive?"
Ling Xian mumbled to himself. After confirming that he survived, the first thing he did was check out the Hidden Territory.
"The Sea of Demons … I cannot believe I ended up in the territory of the mermaids. If the mermaids find out, I will be dead. "
Ling Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly. Ignoring his surroundings, he began to inspect his own body. Then, the bitterness on his face became even more intense.
This was all because his body was far too messed up. More than half of his bones were broken and more than half of his meridians were broken.
This wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that his soul was heavily damaged and his enlivener was extremely weak. Without a Heaven and Earth treasure, there was no way he could recover.
Yet, his ancient majestic blood was in hibernation and could not heal him. To fight the Crown Prince, he broke the Pearl of Emerald Blood.
In other words, right now, he had no way to heal himself.
This was the most troublesome situation he has ever been in since he began his cultivation journey!
"This is far too tragic. It would not be an exaggeration to say that I am covered in wounds."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He couldn't think of a way to heal himself faster.
It wasn't that he didn't think about brewing a Dan. It was that even moving now required so much energy. Where would he find the ability to brew a Dan?
Therefore, Ling Xian was helpless. He could only absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth and slowly heal his wounds.
However, it would take at least three to five years for him to fully recover just by relying on the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth and the self-healing ability of his body.
This was not only a waste of time, but it also put him in a very dangerous situation.
Don't forget, this is the Abyssal Demon Sea. Putting aside the fact that he had killed two princes, even if he hadn't, as a human, he would still be hunted down by the sea demons!
It could be said that he was currently in an extremely dangerous situation. If he did not treat his injuries quickly, it was very likely that he would be killed by a passing sea demon in the next instant.
Therefore, Ling Xian was a little troubled. He knew that he only had two paths to take.
Firstly, he could recover quickly and have the ability to protect himself. The second was to find an absolutely safe illusory realm to slowly heal his injuries.
The former could be ignored. At this moment, there was nothing he could do. The latter was practically impossible. This was the Abyssal Demon Sea, and there were Sea Demons everywhere. How could there be a place that was absolutely safe?
"The situation is critical, but there's nothing we can do."
Ling Xian sighed deeply, "I can only let nature take its course and leave it to fate."
As he spoke, he allowed the flowing seawater to carry him forward.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
As Ling Xian floated along with the water, he absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth to nourish his body. After an unknown amount of time, a small house made out of coral appeared before his eyes.
This house was in the shape of a mushroom. It was colorful and very beautiful. Around the house, there was a circle of weak light. It was made out of talismans.
However, these were the lowest level of talismans. Any beginner level Talisman Master could make them.
"A house means someone is living here. Let's go check it out."
Ling Xian's eyes brightened. Enduring the pain, he activated the Water Taming Pearl. Instantly, the pearl emitted a soft light that opened up a path that led him to the front of the house.
Just as he was about to knock, the door opened. A young girl around the age of 16 walked out wearing a purple dress.
Her facial features were beautiful and bright. Just like a porcelain doll, she was unbelievably pretty. The most attractive part about her were her eyes. They were blue like the sky and crystal clear. Anyone who looked at them would be sucked in.
This made Ling Xian frown. He had some guesses.
When she saw a stranger in front of her house, the young girl jumped in fright. Like a frightened rabbit, she retreated back into the house.
She only dared to hide behind the door and peeked at Ling Xian with her blue eyes. She was extremely cute.
"Don't be scared, I am not a bad person."
Seeing how scared the young girl was, Ling Xian used the most gentle voice he has ever used, "I am heavily injured. Can I rest here for a few days?"
"You … are humankind?"
The young girl opened her mouth with difficulty. Though her voice was heavenly, her pronunciation was not perfect nor was it smooth. It gave off the feeling that it was strenuous.
This made Ling Xian realize that the young girl was of the sea kind. He didn't know where she learned the human language, which was why her pronunciation was so poor.
"Yes, I am a pure humankind." Ling Xian smiled warmly and admitted.
For one, he didn't have the heart to lie to this young girl. For two, the young girl's cultivation level was far too low. She was only of the meditational level and was not a threat.
After he spoke those words, the young girl's blue eyes flooded with excitement. Using broken human language, she said, "My … my Master is also a humankind."
"Your Master?"
Ling Xian was a little startled and smiled, "Then seeing that we are both humankind, I wonder if you can let me in first?"
"Of course … you can."
The young girl smiled brightly and opened the door without any hesitation. She gestured for Ling Xian to enter.
This made Ling Xian ecstatic. He had no way to protect himself right now. Floating around was not a good idea. Now that he had a place to stay, of course he was happy.
He also knew that he was basking in the girl's master's light. Because of that person's existence, the girl had a good impression of the humankind, which was why she let him in.
"I have to thank the friend I have never met."
Grinning, Ling Xian put away the Water Taming Pearl and walked into the young girl's house.
The moment he entered, he saw a lot of humankind's things.
"So you have a human Master."
Ling Xian softly grinned and said gently, "Can you arrange a room for me?"
Hearing this, the young girl pointed at the ceiling where a rope was hanging. She was a little embarrassed, "I only have one room here. You will have to sleep on the rope."
"It's okay. I am happy to have a place to stay."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and suppressed his injuries. He then leaped onto the rope.
Just then, a sharp pain shot through his soul. It was as if his soul was about to be torn apart. The pain made him sweat profusely.
This startled the young girl and she whispered, "Is … is your soul damaged?"
