Chapter 350: The Word Becomes Reality! |
“Splash——!”
Chu Huaixu fell into the Black Sea Domain, sinking downward, continuously descending.
He was submerged by the black seawater.
Because the Binding Immortal Rope on his body had yet to be broken free, he was temporarily unable to move.
Who could have imagined that the old fairy from Kunlun Grotto-Heaven would, upon arrival, immediately subject Chu Huaixu to a binding play?
Yet strangely, under such circumstances, Chu Huaixu felt not the slightest sense of suffocation.
On the contrary, ever since entering this sea region, his entire body felt comfortable.
During the descent, he experienced no discomfort.
He could even breathe freely underwater.
It was just that, for the moment, he had yet to realize this.
The laws governing heaven and earth would change according to his needs!
Whatever he required, the rules of the world would become!
At this moment, Chu Huaixu only felt that within his Sea of Consciousness, the Black Jade Lotus Platform had undergone a transformation.
It was as though it had changed from a lifeless object made of black jade into a living black lotus.
Even the lotus atop the platform, whose petals had originally been slightly closed inward, had now fully bloomed outward in all directions.
At this point, he could basically conclude that this Small World was likely not part of the Xuanhuang Realm.
“This is the Kunlun Grotto-Heaven!”
“It’s just unclear whether this is a real Small World, or like the Origin Spirit Realm—existing between illusion and reality?”
But clearly, now was not the time to investigate such matters.
What concerned him more was something else.
This time, the Origin Spirit Realm had opened at midnight tonight.
In other words, it had opened in the dead of night.
After Chu Huaixu obtained this Black Jade Lotus Platform from Zhong Ming, he had forcibly fused with it using the help of the System.
Under normal circumstances, with his own cultivation and rank, he would not have been able to accomplish this.
One must know that even the System had made several attempts before successfully integrating it into Chu Huaixu’s Sea of Consciousness, placing it beneath the tip of his Heart Sword.
Thus, at the time, Chu Huaixu had already felt that this power was extremely special.
Its rank and strength might far exceed his understanding and imagination!
After obtaining the Black Jade Lotus Platform, Chu Huaixu had conducted some tests.
He single-handedly battered three World Protagonists, using sparring to experience its effects.
And indeed, this power’s characteristics were quite peculiar.
As long as one was in the night, all aspects of combat strength would receive a massive boost!
If it were daytime, the enhancement would weaken.
Since he had entered the Origin Spirit Realm at midnight, the enhancement brought by the Black Jade Lotus Platform had been maximized.
However, here in the Black Sea Domain, it did not seem to be night.
On the side of the Kunlun Grotto-Heaven, it was daytime.
Yet even so, Chu Huaixu could still feel the power within his body surging abundantly.
In fact, the combat enhancement provided by the Black Jade Lotus Platform had increased by another ten percent compared to before!
“Why is that?”
“Is it because this power originally belongs to the Kunlun Grotto-Heaven?”
He felt that should be the reason.
Aside from that, there was something else that puzzled him.
“Where did Wen Shiyu go?”
Chu Huaixu had already been falling for several seconds.
Logically speaking, with her Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation, she should have already attacked him by now!
After all, her objective was clearly to turn a disadvantageous battlefield into her home ground.
Chu Huaixu did not know how the Kunlun side had accomplished this—actually carving out a piece of Kunlun heaven and earth within the Origin Spirit Realm!
In doing so, if the battlefield shifted here, it would no longer be the Kunlun cultivators who were suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.
Instead, it would be cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm who would be suppressed by the Kunlun Heavenly Dao!
Only Chu Huaixu was special—he was not weakened; instead, he was strengthened.
Even more absurdly, the moment he thought, “Where did Wen Shiyu go?”, a scene appeared in his mind the very next instant!
He “saw” Wen Shiyu standing atop the water’s surface, looking around as though searching for something.
Clearly, she was searching for Chu Huaixu.
“She actually can’t sense where I am?”
Chu Huaixu was shocked.
Because this made no sense.
She had once been a Nascent Soul True Lord who underwent Possession Re-cultivation.
Her Nascent Soul’s power still remained.
That meant that even though her Divine Sense might be limited by her current cultivation, it should still be far stronger than Chu Huaixu’s!
Moreover, he was still bound by that golden rope!
It was her magical treasure.
Such a treasure should inherently possess a tracking function.
As long as she sensed where the treasure was, she would know where Chu Huaixu had sunk.
Yet under such circumstances, her face was filled with confusion.
“Better if she can’t find me,” Chu Huaixu thought.
He needed time to adapt and understand his current situation.
The moment this thought arose, in the scene within his mind, the confusion on Wen Shiyu’s face grew even stronger!
“What’s going on!” she couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Just now, his position felt unstable—one moment in the east, the next in the west…”
“But now, I can’t sense him at all!” Her face revealed disbelief.
“My master specifically seized a Small World to free me from Heavenly Dao suppression, so I could find a way to bring him here.”
“He’s clearly a cultivator of the Xuanhuang Realm—how could he disappear without a trace upon entering the Endless Sea!”
Meanwhile, Chu Huaixu continued to sink within the black sea.
It was as if this sea were a bottomless abyss, with no end in sight.
Listening to Wen Shiyu’s muttering was equivalent to confirming all of his suspicions.
“My current situation… is somewhat like… the Word Becomes Reality?!” he thought.
It seemed that with just a thought, things would occur as he imagined.
“If that’s truly the case, then this Black Jade Lotus Platform is simply too heaven-defying!”
“What exactly is this thing!” Waves surged within Chu Huaixu’s heart.
“In that case…”
With a thought, he even opened his mouth underwater and said:
“Then I want Wen Shiyu to die!”
A trace of killing intent appeared on Chu Huaixu’s face, his will extremely firm.
However, the woman standing on the water’s surface remained completely unaffected.
She was still standing there alive, only the anxiety on her face growing stronger.
“So it’s not truly ‘The Word Becomes Reality’?”
“Or is it that I can’t kill her?” Chu Huaixu became even more puzzled.
He simply could not figure out the nature of the Black Jade Lotus Platform!
“This is truly bizarre!”
Fortunately, Wen Shiyu still could not locate him, buying him more time.
“Better to deal with this rope first,” he thought.
Immediately after, a strange scene occurred.
The magical treasure binding Chu Huaixu instantly loosened.
Moreover, the golden light it emitted completely extinguished.
All of its functions seemed to have become useless.
Even in the scene within Chu Huaixu’s mind, Wen Shiyu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
“My Binding Immortal Rope!” she cried out, her face filled with fury.
When she had been a Nascent Soul True Lord, she possessed two famous immortal treasures.
One was that Flying Sword.
Now, it had been temporarily seized by Chu Huaixu.
Even though he had been bound and thrown into the Black Sea Domain, the flying sword, having been “possessed” by the Heart Sword, had followed him into the sea.
Her second treasure was this Binding Immortal Rope.
Both items had been bestowed upon her when she became a disciple of a Soul Transformation Divine Sovereign.
They were her initiation gifts.
At that time, she had already reached the Golden Core Stage.
Yet her master had used immense divine power to forcibly replace her life-bound object with the flying sword named “Three Watches Snow”, without causing any backlash.
And now, both of these immortal treasures had fallen into that boy’s hands!
And Wen Shiyu still had no idea how he had done it!
“Outrageous!”
“This is simply outrageous!”
How could a mere Third Realm cultivator of the Xuanhuang Realm accomplish such a thing!
Meanwhile, in the black sea, Chu Huaixu directly stored the now ownerless rope into his Storage Token.
“I didn’t expect to already pick up spoils of war before the fight is even over,” he thought, feeling delighted.
“But why is it that sometimes my thoughts come true, and sometimes the Word Becomes Reality works?” Chu Huaixu frowned.
Is it unable to affect living beings?
But that didn’t seem right.
Her inability to detect him—wasn’t that already affecting a living being?
Or perhaps… it couldn’t be used directly to kill?
On the sea surface, the furious Wen Shiyu stopped using her Divine Sense and instead plunged into the sea, searching blindly for Chu Huaixu.
Seeing he still had some time, the Dead Fox glanced at a nearby fish.
With a thought, the fish died.
To be precise, it didn’t die—it turned into powder and dissipated into the world!
A bold guess arose in his heart.
“Perhaps it’s not that it cannot kill.”
“And the range I can influence… is centered on myself, and not very large?” he thought.
With that thought, he looked at fish farther away.
Sure enough, just as he expected—he could not affect them at all.
He couldn’t even kill a single fish at a distance.
After figuring this out, boundless killing intent began to surface on his face.
Chu Huaixu no longer allowed himself to keep sinking, but instead moved swiftly through the sea.
Wen Shiyu, who was searching underwater, swam rapidly eastward.
Having lost two immortal treasures, she wished nothing more than to tear Chu Huaixu into pieces!
As she swam, she soon saw the figure of the young man.
“Finally found you!” Wen Shiyu exclaimed.
What Chu Huaixu returned to her was:
“No—”
“It is I who was looking for you!”
