Divine God Against The Heavens

The old man brought Ye Xiao to a cliff. Looking down, Ye Xiao saw a peaceful river flowing. The old man said, "That lady sealed the sword at the depth of this river. Also, let me warn you, only people permitted by the Red-haired Lady or she herself can bring that sword back. No other people can bring that sword back."

"If it is really her who sent you here, then you can go. If not, then there is still time for you to stop. We will not say anything."

Ye Xiao smiled and shook his head, saying: "Senior, I know you don't believe me. But this doesn't change the fact that I was sent here by that lady. And since you said so, I'll prove this fact by bringing that sword back. Wait for me!"

Saying this, Ye Xiao jumped down from the cliff. He turned his body over and went down vertically. He fell into the river with a splash. The only thing that was left was a wave and the water surface returned to how it was before. For a long time, no one came up.

From the outside, he looked like a person seeking death.

However, in reality, Ye Xiao was like a fish, swimming deep in the sea.

For some reason, Ye Xiao found it extremely hard to breathe in the river. So, Ye Xiao immediately used his spirit energy and formed an energy barrier as a layer of light blue light spread outside Ye Xiao's skin and clothes.

The river was calm inside. But as he went deeper, he discovered many things. There were a lot of corals and fishes swimming at the bottom of the river. The scenery was beautiful, but Ye Xiao was in no mood to watch it.

It was clearly a river, but this river felt like a sea to Ye Xiao. He went down about 800 meters underwater which was about the middle level of a sea. The sunlight couldn't completely penetrate the water, and the light here was extremely weak. The river water was also a black-blue color, giving off a sense of oppression.

However, as he circulated his spiritual energy around his eyes, he was able to see the surroundings clearly.

When he was about 1500 meters deeper, he could see finally sense the bottom of the river with the help of his Divine Sense. He continued swimming deeper and deeper.

Soon, Ye Xiao could not see his surroundings clearly even with the layer of spirit energy in his eyes. Suddenly, Ye Xiao noticed an abnormality. This was because the scenery beneath his body was even darker than the bottom of the sea. It was as if a huge pitch-black creature was lying at the bottom of the sea.

Ye Xiao had the Nine Sun Eternal Body. He immediately activated this body, however, at this place, even the power of the Nine Sun Eternal Body didn't work. The nine suns floating behind his back only gave him enough light to see about 100 meters of his surroundings. This caused Ye Xiao to realize that even the Nine Sun Eternal Body was not strong enough. It might be the highest grade of the body ever to appear in the Great Star Continent, however, in the real world, its grade should be about High Grade Immortal Level.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xiao looked around.

This was a deep sea trench... river trench!

After retreating a little, he arrived at the edge of the river ditch and swam to the side for a while. Suddenly, from the depths of the sea ditch, Ye Xiao sensed a faintly discernable sense of danger.

Ye Xiao's eyes congealed, he looked down but did not go there. He knew that with his current strength, he wouldn't be able to support himself exploring. But just as he was about to shift his gaze and look elsewhere, he suddenly sensed the same extraordinary aura coming out from the river trench.

"So, it is sealed there!" Ye Xiao muttered and took a deep breath. He also understood that the danger he sensed earlier must be coming from the sword sealed here.

Ye Xiao wanted to immediately go there and take the sword before leaving this pocket dimension, however, it was at this time he suddenly saw a protrusion at the side of the trench on his right.

What is that?

A house?

From the shape, it looked like a house.

Ye Xiao frowned and decided to first look at the house before dealing with the matter regarding the sword. He swam over and discovered that it was indeed a house. This house was shaped like a small-sized cruise ship, with a corner that was suspended at the edge of the river trench.

Ye Xiao entered the house.

Sweeping around, he found more than a dozen dried-up bones of giant fishes. If it was some other 13 years old children, they would probably be very afraid, but Ye Xiao was used to it.

The house had a total of three floors. Finally, on the lowest floor, Ye Xiao discovered something.

In a large room on the third floor, there were many broken chests. There were Immortal Stones, Divine Stones, and other precious treasures inside.

Ye Xiao released his Divine Sense and suddenly discovered that at the right corner of the room, there was a burst of fiery aura. After swimming over, he opened two small boxes, and finally discovered a piece of metal the size of his palm.

He brushed away the stains on the stone, revealing the fiery-red body.

So it was a Flame Cloud Stone.

This Flame Cloud Stone was an ordinary Divine Treasure. It can raise the quality of weapons and could also strengthen the connection between Divine Sense and Weapons, at the same time, it can increase the ability of the weapon to repair itself.

After looking at the Flame Cloud Stone for a while, Ye Xiao kept it in his spatial ring and started looking at other things carefully. Suddenly his eyes caught hold of something, and he looked down at the box that he had just moved.

One light wave after another flashed, leaking out a faint light.

Ye Xiao moved the few large chests around, and they immediately revealed a two-meter-wide hole.

A cave?

There was actually a cave-like entrance inside the house.

Ye Xiao's palm touched it and discovered that the light wave coming from the cave entrance was a defensive array.

"It's just a Low Grade Divine Formation for warning and camouflage."

Ye Xiao circulated his spirit energy, and his body submerged into the water.

The scene suddenly changed as the formation was broken by Ye Xiao. Now, in front of him was a stone room that was about twenty square meters long. There was only a table, a chair, and a prayer mat inside.

"The spiritual energy here..."

Ye Xiao could feel that the spirit energy here was extremely rich, to the point that it was a hundred times stronger than the outside world. He was surprised because this house clearly had everything of Divine Level, but the energy here was not the True Essence but the Spirit Energy. But then he thought about those chests filled with Immortal Stones. Since there could be Immortal Stones in the chest, then there was nothing strange for the spirit energy to appear here.

Taking a closer look, Ye Xiao discovered there were traces of a total of 108 Immortal Stones at every corner of the stone house. In the middle, he could see a skeleton that was completely red and a very high temperature was being exuded from the skeleton. Ye Xiao looked at it for a bit and understood that this skeleton was the master of this place when he was alive.

"I wonder what kind of cultivation technique this person cultivated. He actually cultivated to death by myself."

Ye Xiao shook his head slightly. There were millions of cultivation techniques, some were very strong, but they were accompanied by the dangers of breakthroughs.

There was nothing else in the stone room other than the dense spiritual energy and what he had seen.

He carefully looked at the skeleton and discovered something worth noticing.

"This is actually the skeleton of a Golden Crow. No wonder it is exuding such a high temperature. But... how did a Golden Crow appear here and died?"

Ye Xiao frowned and thought but couldn't find the answer. So, he chose to go near the skeleton and see if he could find anything here.

After he neared the skeleton, he found a stone. This was a recording stone that could record the sound. He picked up the stone and used his Divine Sense to listen to what was recorded inside.

Then he heard the sound of a middle-aged old man, saying, "It's been three years now. I've been living inside the river for three years but failed to find the way out. I know I was wrong when I thought that after finding the Sword left behind by the Red-haired Lady, I and my Golden Crow Ancient Race can leave this forsaken pocket dimension that has imprisoned us for eons now."
