After the assignment, the five of them split up and acted on their own.
If they were on land, a level-6 master's perception would be able to cover a radius of nearly a hundred miles, but it was greatly limited in the ocean. This limitation was very obvious even for water-type masters. For example, at a depth of 1,200 feet, even Du Guodong could only sense a radius of 15 miles, let alone other masters of other attributes.
Lu An was not a water-type master, and his strength was only at the early stage of level-6. His perception could only cover a radius of about five miles. If he wanted to search a radius of 50 miles, he would have to keep moving.
According to Du Guodong's description, the Nether Realm Floating Stone was about five feet in size and could float with the current at this depth. Although the Nether Realm Floating Stone was not small, it was more than enough to fit into the ring given to him by Beauty Yang.
Lu An did not try to show off. According to the agreement, they would only move at a depth of 1,200 feet and search within a radius of 50 miles. The bottom of the sea was completely dark, so it made no difference whether he opened his eyes or not. Lu An simply closed his eyes and opened the Scorching Sun Nine Suns at the same time to expand his range. Unfortunately, it was not that easy to find the Nether Realm Floating Stone.
A radius of 50 miles was not considered large for Lu An. He quickly circled around the area, and with the range of his perception, he did not find any Nether Realm Floating Stone. However, it did not mean that there would not be any in the future. The ocean was flowing, and one might float over at any time.
After another search, Lu An confirmed that there was no Nether Realm Floating Stone. He went to the front of the ocean current and waited for the Nether Realm Floating Stone to float over. This way, once a Nether Realm Floating Stone entered the range of 50 miles, he would be able to detect it immediately and take it into his bag.
Time passed slowly. Fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes, until an hour had passed. Still, only the ocean current was moving. Nothing else appeared, including mystical beasts. Of course, Lu An did not want any mystical beasts to appear. If a mystical beast appeared at this depth, it would be at least a level-6 mystical beast. Mystical beasts in the ocean were much more terrifying than those on land. He was not confident that he could defeat them.
Time continued to pass and the other four cultivators at the other depths did not make any movements. Another hour went by and Lu An, who was deep in the ocean, could only hear the sound of the ocean currents flowing past his ears. The rumbling sound continued, and he felt as if he was in a strange and terrifying space. He even suspected that he was in the middle of an ocean.
Lu An, who was already afraid of the deep sea, was even more nervous now. He even frowned. Right at this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice resounded once more!
"Come in …"
"Enter the true deep sea … This is your world …"
Lu An's body trembled violently. His eyes flew open and even widened! He was so scared that he wanted to escape from here in an instant, but he stopped just as he was about to move. He couldn't break the agreement and leave. He was now a member of Summoning Cloud's team and definitely couldn't leave like this!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Lu An took a deep breath and swallowed his saliva. However, he did not close his eyes and continued to spread out his perception to search. Right at this moment, Lu An's body trembled. He suddenly sensed a stone about five feet long floating over from the ocean currents!
This stone was almost at the edge of a hundred miles, which was also the edge of Lu An's perception. Lu An had never been there before. After all, with his perception, he did not need to go personally. However, if he wanted to obtain this Nether Realm Floating Stone, he had to go personally. Especially since this Nether Realm Floating Stone's direction was erratic, as if it could leave the range of a hundred miles at any time!
Lu An's brows tightened. Without hesitation, he immediately moved and rushed toward the Nether Realm Floating Stone! Lu An's speed was extremely fast. In the deep sea, he drew a long rainbow in the ocean currents and went straight for the Nether Realm Floating Stone!
However, the speed of the ocean currents was not slow either. The Nether Realm Floating Stone's trajectory was also very strange. It did not float quietly with the ocean currents, but rather trembled non-stop. Although Lu An was puzzled, seeing that the Nether Realm Floating Stone was about to leave the range of a hundred miles, he did not want to wait in the deep sea for another two hours. Before the Nether Realm Floating Stone left the range of a hundred miles, Lu An rushed forward at full speed and arrived in front of the Nether Realm Floating Stone!
Bang!
Lu An grabbed the Nether Realm Floating Stone and let out a long breath. However, right at the instant Lu An relaxed, a strand of terrifying suction force abruptly swept over!
The terrifying suction force came from the deep sea. Without any warning, the unresponsive Lu An was instantly pulled down to the bottom of the sea by the terrifying suction force! It was the same for the Nether Realm Floating Stone in his hand. The terrifying force even caused the Nether Realm Floating Stone to fly out of his hand and disappear. Under this suction force, Lu An could not control his body at all and could only be pulled down continuously!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Lu An gritted his teeth. The terrifying force caused him to spin non-stop. The pressure around him increased rapidly, even suppressing him to the point that it became extremely difficult for him to move! He did not even know how deep he had been pulled down, but he knew that if this continued, he would definitely die!
Without hesitation, Lu An roared. Instantly, two red rays of light shot out from his eyes. His aura skyrocketed, and the pressure around him suddenly lightened!
However, the terrifying suction force around him was still there. Lu An gritted his teeth and slammed his palms downwards!
"Wrath of the Ocean!" Lu An roared. With all his strength, the ocean beneath him instantly formed a huge ice layer that was ten feet thick and six thousand feet wide! Although this huge ice layer was immediately pulled down by the terrifying suction force, it cut off the suction force, causing Lu An's body to become lighter!
Lu An took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly moved upwards and into the distance at full speed, escaping the range of the suction force! Finally, after sprinting for a full ten miles, Lu An finally felt the pressure around him lighten. The terrifying suction force had completely disappeared, leaving only the surrounding water pressure.
Even the surrounding water pressure made Lu An feel extremely miserable. He quickly swam upwards, not daring to move any further. The pressure became smaller and smaller. After a long time, it finally returned to the initial water pressure, which was around twelve thousand feet.
Lu An's red eyes disappeared, and he even let out a long sigh of relief. From being swept up by the suction force to escaping, it had actually only been a few breaths of time. However, in just a few breaths of time, he had sunk to a terrifying depth of six thousand feet. What was that terrifying suction force just now? How could it be so terrifying?
Just as Lu An was thinking, he suddenly felt four figures swimming up from below. It was Du Guodong and the other three. The four of them quickly came to Lu An's side. Du Guodong looked at Lu An anxiously and asked, "How are you?"
"We just heard a shout. We didn't know where it came from, so we hurried back to see you." Yan Yueqing also quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Lu An thought about it and told them everything that had just happened. However, he did not tell them about his Realm of the Demon Gods, nor did he tell them about the voice he had heard. Even so, the other four gasped when they heard about Lu An's experience.
"Let's go up first." Du Guodong said in a low voice.
Lu An was stunned and quickly asked, "Big Brother Du, have you found three Netherworld Floating Stones? If you haven't found any, then continue to look for them. I'm fine! "
"I've found all of them." Du Guodong said, "Let's go!"
Lu An nodded and followed the five of them to the sky. Going upstream was easier than going downstream. Soon, the five of them returned to the surface of the sea. They did not stop and flew up to a height of ten thousand feet in the air.
Everyone changed into dry clothes and gathered. Du Guodong looked at Lu An, frowned, and asked, "You said that you were pulled down by a terrifying suction force, right?"
"That's right." Lu An nodded and asked, "Big Brother Du, do you know what it is?"
"Yes," Du Guodong said in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, you encountered a deep-sea fault."
"A deep-sea fault?" Lu An was stunned and asked, "What's that?"
Du Guodong looked at Lu An and explained, "You know that the salt we eat is extracted from the sea, right?"
Lu An nodded. Of course, he knew this. Moreover, salt was very expensive in most countries that were not near the sea. Ordinary people could not afford it at all.
"In the sea, there is a lot of salt. This salt is like the soil in the sea. The soil can be loose or tight, and the salt in the sea is the same. " Du Guodong said, "If you suddenly enter a place with a lot of salt from a place with little salt, you will be instantly sucked down. This force is extremely huge, and it is very likely that you will be pulled down to a depth of tens of thousands of feet."
With that, Du Guodong looked at Lu An, shook his head, and said, "The fault can be said to be one of the things that deep-sea masters are most afraid of. You were lucky to be able to escape from it just now!"
