STARTING MY CULTIVATION WITH TIME MANAGEMENT

Chapter 787: Chapter 24: The Godspeed Talisman Revisited

In Luo Yan’s opinion, if this Dwelling Cave Heaven was truly built by Shennong, it shouldn’t appear so impoverished—at the very least, it wouldn’t lack high-rank magical treasures.

But now it seemed that this place really was just an unfinished product.

Not to mention the lack of an entrance, Luo Yan’s evaluation of this Deep Sea Cave Heavens was “large but empty.”

Although it was spectacular, it was barren, with precious items even rarer.

Of course, having been so scarce already, and then plundered by the Dragon Clan cultivators, not even leaving the slightest bit behind, the thought of it was even more infuriating.

The treasures obtained by the old dragon could be recovered with the help of the Mortal World Lifetimes Map; as for those scavenged by Shi Yao and Long Xiaoqi, it was probably impossible to get them back.

Fortunately, the most powerful and highest-rank magical treasures were basically swallowed by the old dragon alone, so in the end, the loss wouldn’t be too severe.

As Luo Yan and Shi Liuli tried carefully to bypass the Sea Abyss, they discovered that the dark currents ahead formed a tremendous vortex; detouring would take too much time, surely causing them to fall behind the Dragon Clan cultivators ahead.

Based on the speed of the others, it was inferred that those Dragon Clan cultivators must have crossed directly through the giant vortex.

Shi Liuli fired the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword forward, only to find that after advancing a mere dozen yards, it was immediately swept up by the undercurrents, making it extremely difficult to continue forward by force.

“What can we do now?” Luo Yan sighed and said, “The Dragon Clan possesses extreme physical strength, which allows them to withstand the mighty, unruly undercurrents and force their way through the vortex. We simply don’t have that ability.”

“How can there be no way?” Shi Liuli asked in surprise, “Husband, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“How did I talk nonsense?” Luo Yan was shocked.

“Stop hiding your capabilities,” Shi Liuli said with some impatience. “Come on, show your hand.”

Could my identity as Long Long have been discovered by Liuli Lady!

Luo Yan almost panicked, but he forced himself to remain calm.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Long Long had never been to the Cultivation Realm, let alone exposing any loopholes; he was completely unrecognizable, so how could Liuli possibly know the connection between these two identities?

Wait, could it be Art Calculation?

Seeing him silent for a long time, Shi Liuli sighed and said softly:

“Husband, can’t you just use your Five Elements Divine Light to clear the way and get through?”

Luo Yan’s heart immediately felt lighter, relieved, but he continued to pretend and said:

“To forcefully clear such a large vortex with Five Elements Divine Light would likely consume too much True Yuan.”

“I believe you can do it,” Shi Liuli said lightly.

Luo Yan then revealed a helpless expression and stimulated the Five Elements Divine Light, shooting it forward.

The current, which had been spinning at extremely high speed, encountered the Five Elements Divine Light and was swiftly neutralized, revealing a waterless vacuum passage ahead.

The two continued on their Sword Control journey through the path, Luo Yan keeping the Divine Light active, thinking it was fortunate he had advanced the Five Elements Divine Light to the Innate level; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to easily pave the way through such a huge dark current vortex.

It’s just that, although Liuli Lady didn’t ask, she might still have suspicions in her heart.

After all, an Innate Five Elements True Vein isn’t something common.

To collect the five types of True Veins, Luo Yan crossed a total of three realms and two worlds (the Mortal Realm and the Eastern Emperor Realm), searching hard and relying on incredible luck to finally gather them all.

If Liuli were to rigorously inquire about the origins of the five True Veins, I really wouldn’t be able to tell the truth; I’d have to make something up.

But fabricating a story is one thing; what if Liuli uses Art Calculation to verify the truth and finds out I’m lying?

That’s why from the beginning, I shouldn’t have allowed her to learn Art Calculation!

Remembering the Kuocang Mountain Secret Realm, where I had painstakingly gathered information and taken Miss Shi to experience it, Luo Yan wished he could travel back in time and give his past self a good slap on the ear.

The two finally passed through the vortex and torrents above the Sea Abyss, and Shi Liuli’s expression remained calm, as if she had no intention to ask any further questions.

Luo Yan, with a guilty conscience, naturally didn’t seek to make things difficult for himself, so he continued to lead the way for Shi Liuli, and soon they arrived at the Coral Forest where the Dragon Clan cultivators had previously stopped.

What they saw were coral stumps and roots scattered everywhere after being uprooted, and the shattered fragments of the giant clams strewn about.

“What a pity,” Shi Liuli said with a sigh as she looked at the devastation around her.

If it had not been destroyed by the Dragon Clan, this place might have been a beautiful scene, right?

“It is indeed a pity,” Luo Yan also echoed with a sense of regret.

How many treasures had fallen into the hands of the Demon Race; it was a disgrace for the Human Race!

Although both lamented the loss, the objects of their pity were completely different.

Luo Yan repeated his old trick and began scanning the area once more.

Regrettably, this time he did not find any overlooked treasures like the Mortal World Map he had found in the previous cave heavens.

After checking several times with a sense of unwillingness, Luo Yan finally had to admit that not every time would there be leftovers to pick up.

Leaving the Coral Forest behind, the two continued onward and eventually reached a flat area on the sea floor.

“They disappeared right here before,” commented Shi Liuli.

“Hmm, there are indeed spatial fluctuations here. It appears to be a weak point in the barrier that leads to the next cave heaven,” said Luo Yan. Just as he was about to throw the Heavenly Weaving God Shuttle, he suddenly heard Shi Liuli say,

“Wait a moment!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Lift your foot,” Shi Liuli requested.

Luo Yan then lifted his right foot, standing on one leg, as Shi Liuli gathered her skirts, and squatted down to peel off a piece of yellow paper that was stuck to the sole of Luo Yan’s boot.

Although the yellow paper had been soaked at the bottom of the sea for who knows how long, it had not decayed or deteriorated, showing that it was no ordinary object.

Written on it in vermillion were many patterns. Despite the spiritual power being exhausted and the paper appearing dull and lightless, Luo Yan, with his ability to recognize things in an instant, immediately identified that he had seen this item before.

A Thousand Mile Water Vein Godspeed Talisman.

This yellow paper was a Godspeed Talisman of the Thousand Mile Water Vein whose spiritual power was completely depleted. Since it had been discarded here for who knows how many years, it had become indistinguishable from ordinary yellow paper.

But if there was a way to replenish its spiritual power, perhaps it could be restored to its original state… Hmm?

Luo Yan suddenly realized something.

The function of the Thousand Mile Water Vein Godspeed Talisman was to activate from one water source and randomly leap to another completely unconnected water source.

This jump was a spatial transfer, leveraging the mysterious connection between water veins, regardless of whether there were rocks, voids, or any formations and restrictions between the two water sources—it could bypass these obstructions.

However, within this Water System Cave Heaven, water flowed endlessly in all directions, making the whole a vast water source.

The Thousand Mile Water Vein Godspeed Talisman could leap between different water sources but could not accelerate movement within the same water source.

So why would this talisman paper appear here? Who cast it aside in this place?

Unless, beyond this deep sea, there was another isolated water source…

With this thought, Luo Yan looked down at his feet.

In front, behind, to the left, right, and above, there was water everywhere.

The only place that could possibly hide another water source was deep within the rock layer beneath his feet.
