Chapter 309 Weak Water
"what happened?"

After emerging from the water, Xu Hong was dazed.

Although he had not reached the ninth level of longevity increase, he could fly at the seventh level. His control over strength was no weaker than some half-step transcendent masters. But at this moment, he could not fly... It was unbelievable!

With his strength activated, he jumped out of the water again. He was less than half a meter away from the water surface when he fell down again with a "plop".

After experiencing it twice, Xu Hong was no longer anxious, but spread his spiritual awareness around him. After a moment, he understood.

The air above the sea is so thin that even birds cannot fly through, let alone monks.

"It should be a special use of space power..."

Xu Hong guessed in his heart.

When one's cultivation reaches the extraordinary realm, one will have the ability to control the power of space. The air and space structure here are obviously different from those in other places. It feels like someone has exerted great power to prohibit flying.

This is somewhat similar to some no-fly formations, but it is more advanced and more difficult to break.

"If you can't fly, then swim..."

Xu Hong smiled slightly and was not nervous.

For other cultivators, entering the water would either cause them great trouble or affect their speed, but he had mastered the art of water escape, and his speed in the water was not much slower than flying, so it did not waste any time at all.

With a thought of his mind, his water escape ability came into play, and he immediately flew forward rapidly like a fish.

In less than an hour, they had traveled hundreds of miles. Just when Xu Hong felt that he was about to reach the end, his body sank again. He could not control himself for a moment and choked on his saliva...

He stopped, but still couldn't stop the sinking trend. With his eyebrows raised, Xu Hong's strength seemed to boil, and he managed to stabilize his body.

"what happened?"

Feeling that his magic power was being consumed quickly, Xu Hong couldn't help but look around as he realized that even with his current strength, he might not be able to hold on for long.

It was fine just now, how come it sank all of a sudden?

His consciousness spread to the surroundings again, and he was stunned.

"Could this be the legendary weak water?"

Weak water is a type of water with a very light density. Under normal circumstances, even a feather cannot float, and it is naturally even more difficult for a person to float.

I thought it was just something in mythology, but I didn't expect that this Longxu secret realm actually existed, and it even merged with ordinary water and became part of the ocean...

"They are not completely integrated, but clearly separated..."

After taking a few steps back, Xu Hong immediately felt the buoyancy reappear, and his brows furrowed.

Weak water is incompatible with ordinary water surface. If you enter it, you will sink and even a feather cannot float.

Xu Hong used the water escape technique to its full potential and rushed forward again. Once he entered the weak water, he couldn't help but sink again. This time he didn't try his best to use his strength, but let his body sink.

Other monks, if they enter extremely deep water, will be restrained by the water pressure, and their strength and movements will be restricted. However, he is different. No matter how deep the water is, it will not cause any impact.

It sank slowly for several hundred meters before the ground came into sight.

Xu Hong looked and saw that the ground below was as dark as ink, without a trace of light, just like a gloomy night.

"It's not too deep, we can just walk on the ground..."

Since forcibly floating in weak water would consume a huge amount of energy, it would be better to move forward along the seabed, which would not slow down the speed either.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Xu Hong was trying to move forward with his magic power, but suddenly his heart skipped a beat. A bad premonition emerged in his mind, and the magic power in his body exploded, and he flew upwards rapidly.

Wow!

Just after leaving the ground, dozens of black hands suddenly emerged from the inky darkness below, completely covering the place where he was just now. They were like countless wronged souls looking for scapegoats, or like a giant octopus that wanted to catch the prey that invaded its territory.

Xu Hong's scalp tingled.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have been caught.

With a flip of his wrist, a long sword appeared in his palm and he threw it down casually.

call!
The dark tentacles reappeared and enveloped the sword in the blink of an eye. Then, as if steel encountered corrosive acid, it kept boiling. In less than three breaths, the sword dissolved into paste and disappeared into the water.

"This……"

Xu Hong’s eyes widened.

Although the level of this sword does not reach the level of a magic weapon, it is not low. It can cut ordinary fine steel with ease. But now it encounters the black tentacles and it can't even last for a few seconds. The corrosive ability is terrifying!
No wonder it is said that there are dangers everywhere in the secret realm. If you are not careful, you may die. It seems that he has been a little careless due to a series of good luck.

"go!"

Knowing that he couldn't land on the ground, Xu Hong had to exert his strength to the limit and accelerated to fly forward. The weak water couldn't float a person, and there was danger on the ground, so he had to swim to the other side as soon as possible.

Zizizizi!

As he swam further forward, the gravity below became increasingly stronger, and more strength was needed to maintain suspension. Fortunately, Xu Hong practiced the Five Emperors' Kung Fu, and his Qi Sea was wider than that of some extraordinary realms. Even with such consumption, he was able to hold on. If it were someone else, he would have sunk to the bottom of the water and been swallowed by the black tentacles without leaving anything behind.

"I don't know how far it is yet... I hope the power is enough!"

Looking up and forward, there was no light at all. Xu Hong frowned slightly, but continued to move forward.

It was so difficult for him to find the ruins. I wonder how his teacher got there!

He flipped his wrist again, and a green-bearded ginseng appeared in his palm, which he swallowed.

The best medicinal herb for restoring mana... Green Bearded Immortal Ginseng.

Each of these things is very valuable, and can even be exchanged for a magic weapon. If it is refined into a pill, the effect will be doubled. But at the moment, Xu Hong can't care about it anymore, so let's eat it first!
Other practitioners, if they were to force themselves to eat like this, would probably need to sit cross-legged and practice before they could refine it. But for him, it was nothing. His life force burned away, and in a moment, the entire Green Bearded Immortal Ginseng turned into a ball of pure power, traveling throughout his body, replenishing his already depleted body.

"come on!"

His eyes lit up, and Xu Hong continued flying. After swimming for nearly two hours, he saw a small isolated island appear in his sight.

The island is not big, with a diameter of only a few hundred meters. It is quietly suspended in the silent ocean, like an oasis in the desert.

"This should be the island the teacher mentioned...but the teacher said that after the ocean, there is a swamp. Where is this thing?"

After leaving Ruoshui, Xu Hong breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not move forward in a hurry. Instead, he looked around with a little doubt, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
