Chapter 2180: Undersea Search
Good!
Gu Bai ping then took out one of her own sixth-grade divine artifacts to prop it open.
That divine artifact transformed into a size of a thousand zhang, and slowly entered the water.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss...
At the moment the divine artifact entered the water, it burst out with a hissing sound, beginning to corrode and melt.
Only with the increase in the artifact's grade and level, the speed of this melting and corrosion slowed down a little.
But Gu Bai ping's artifact also did not last more than the time it takes to burn two incense sticks.
After the time it takes to burn two incense sticks, the divine artifact was completely unusable.
"How strange, what exactly is in this seawater? It can actually corrode divine artifacts?" Qian Zhu waved her jade hand, and a drop of seawater flew up from the sea surface below, then landed on her clean, fair-skinned hand back.
"Don't be so impulsive!" He Ping Sheng's face darkened.
Then he saw that Qian Zhu's tender white hand back had been burned in a spot.
Leaving a bluish-black scar.
Fortunately, there was not much seawater, only one drop.
Of course, after burning Qian Zhu, that drop of seawater also disappeared.
"How powerful!" Qian Zhu exclaimed in shock: "I am of the Wu tribe, yet even such a strong physical body can be corroded?"
Gu Bai ping gave her a glance: "No brains... the sixth-grade divine artifact was corroded, what do you say?"
"And you still want to try it personally?"
Qian Zhu's fair face immediately flushed red, she looked at Gu Bai ping and said: "Gu elder sister, speaking plainly, why are you attacking me?"
Gu Bai ping ignored her.
Qian Zhu soon laughed again, she puffed out her chest and said: "Your brain isn't much better either!"
"Enough!" He Ping Sheng said: "You two stop arguing..."
"Gu elder sister, find a secluded place to go, and try with the Zhidao Bell!"
The three then flew on, skimming over the sea surface toward the distant sea.
Flying nonstop for six or seven days, they actually encountered no one.
But thinking about it, it makes sense: here, aside from seawater that can corrode all things, there is nothing else—no heavenly materials or earthly treasures, no divine artifact mystic realms.
Under normal circumstances, no one would come here.
"Here will do!" Gu Bai ping unleashed her vast divine sense, scanning the surroundings for a hundred thousand li.
He Ping Sheng nodded: "Let's try!"
Boom boom boom...
The next moment, Gu Bai ping unfurled the Hongmeng Zhidao Bell; this time it did not expand to a thousand zhang in size, but became ten zhang in diameter, and then slowly approached the sea surface.
Touching a thread.
Then Gu Bai ping's face showed joy, she said: "Young Master, it's possible... not corroded!"
She boldly pressed the Zhidao Bell deeper into the seawater, yet the Zhidao Bell still showed no sign of corrosion.
"It should be fine!" Gu Bai ping said, "Now this thing has been refined by me, it's my treasure, I can sense its condition, Young Master, the Zhidao Bell truly has not been corroded at all."
He Ping Sheng said: "I know!"
While speaking, he took out a book: the Seven Curses Book.
This time He Ping Sheng was not careful, but directly threw the whole book into the sea with a slap.
The book floated on the water surface, likewise not corroded.
Of course, if it were truly corroded or swallowed by the seawater, He Ping Sheng would not mind.
He basically has no use for this book.
If possible, He Ping Sheng would rather curse the Great Dao, this nauseating cultivation method, to vanish.
"Whoosh..." the next moment, he put the Seven Curses Book away again.
"Young Master!" Qian Zhu asked: "I heard people say that in this world, all oaths made by people are recorded in the Seven Curses Book, is that true?"
He Ping Sheng said: "Probably!"
"But I haven't refined this thing, so I can't see the oaths of the divine realm!"
The Seven Curses Book has only twelve pages, each page engraved with an incomprehensible mysterious divine symbol.
As for where the oaths are, He Ping Sheng also doesn't know!
Gu Bai ping asked: "Young Master, what should we do now?"
He Ping Sheng said: "Very simple, use the Zhidao Bell to cover us three, then dive into the seabed to take a look!"
"See if we can find Qian Zhu's ancestors on the seabed!"
"No way!" Gu Bai ping shook her head, "Young Master, this is too dangerous, if an accident happens, we three will all be corroded by this seawater, and at that time body and spirit will be destroyed!"
"Exactly!" Qian Zhu also followed, "I think Gu elder sister is right this time!"
He Ping Sheng asked: "What do you want to do?"
Qian Zhu said: "Very simple, among us three, only Gu elder sister has divine sense, let her take the divine bell and dive into the water bottom to check the situation!"
"If we encounter our Wu tribe's ancestor, just come up and say a word!"
Gu Bai ping said: "That won't do, your Wu tribe's ancestor is a Wu Emperor, right?"
Qian Zhu nodded: "That's right!"
Gu Bai ping said: "After the Wu Emperor's death, his body naturally extends, unbound by Dao laws, theoretically how large is his body?"
"How large?" Qian Zhu thought for a moment, then said: "This... approximately, a million zhang tall!"
"Even lying down, it would be a mountain range stretching tens of thousands of li!"
"Exactly!" Gu Baiping said: "Even if I ran into it, I would definitely think it was a mountain range!"
"I can't recognize it!"
"He is the old ancestor of your Qian Zhu tribe, so you must be able to recognize him!"
"You must follow me!"
Qian Zhu said: "That won't do, I still have to protect the Young Master!"
"Like this!" He Pingsheng said: "Gu Dajie, you go down first to check the situation under the sea. If it really doesn't work, then let Qian Zhu go with you!"
"Good!" Gu Baiping nodded, then opened the ten-zhang Divine Bell to protect her main body, and slowly sank into the Wuwang Sea.
Qian Zhu then pulled He Pingsheng to stand in the void and wait.
One month later, Gu Baiping floated up from the water again.
He Pingsheng let out a deep sigh of relief.
No matter what, Gu Baiping's safety in the water for this one month is the best news.
It shows that using this Divine Bell to explore the seabed is feasible.
"Young Master!" Gu Baiping cleaned the seawater off the Divine Bell, then landed beside He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng asked: "How was it?"
"What's down there?"
Qian Zhu asked more directly: "Did you see our old ancestor's corpse?"
"No!" Gu Baiping shook her head and said: "Young Master, this seawater is too deep. I used the Divine Bell to dive for twenty days, but I still couldn't reach the bottom!"
"Moreover, there is nothing in the seawater. My Divine Sense suffered a huge impact, and the scanning range is less than one percent of before!"
"Didn't reach the bottom!" Qian Zhu said with a disappointed face.
He Pingsheng asked: "What is down there? Are there any other living beings or monsters?"
"No!" Gu Baiping said: "Anyway, this month I haven't seen any living beings!"
"I was worried the Young Master would be anxious, so I came up to report the situation!"
"First, the Divine Bell really has no problem!"
"Second, this seawater is extremely deep. Wanting to find the corpse of the Wu God and Wu Emperor is definitely not something that can be done in a moment!"
"What should we do next?"
He Pingsheng thought for a moment and said: "Like this, you continue to go down..."
"Twenty days and still couldn't reach the bottom, so just continue!"
"This time the task is also simple. You don't really need to go find the corpse of the Wu tribe's Wu God and Wu Emperor. Just see when you can reach the bottom!"
"After reaching the seabed, first roughly explore the situation of the seabed, then immediately come up!"
"So that we can know how deep this Wuwang Sea really is, and whether there are any other unknown dangers!"
"Okay, Young Master!" Gu Baiping said: "But... the Lingzhu Dan on my person is not enough. I need some Lingzhu Dan to replenish my Divine Sense!"
"Because the consumption down there is too great!"
He Pingsheng looked at himself and also didn't have enough sixth-grade Lingzhu Dan.
However, he had slaughtered many God Kings, and from the rings of the God Kings he did obtain some materials.
