The upper reaches of the Nujiang River carried a huge amount of silt, but downstream it gradually became clear, and even the flow of water became stable. Qin Lingyun estimated that from the surface to the bottom, there was at least twenty or thirty zhang (a unit of length) in depth. In the river, large schools of various fish swam about, and on the riverbed were scattered fine sand and some aquatic plants growing among them.

  Underwater, the Vampire Lion Beast stepped on the fine sand with its four feet, and its whole body was shrouded in a purple light. Mei Han and his three friends stood separately in three directions around the Vampire Lion Beast.

  The water was buoyant, Qin Lingyun felt her body floating lightly, and at first she had some discomfort when she got into the water, but by the time she reached the riverbed it was much better.

  The impact of the water flow has a certain erosive effect on the spiritual shield that envelops her body. If the shield is completely eroded, Qin Lingyun would not be able to survive in the river water either, unless she can cultivate to the foundation-building boundary, at which point she would not need to breathe or use a spiritual shield to survive in the river water.

  Mei Qing Shui saw that Qin Ling Yun had arrived, his face darkened, but he only said: "The whirlpool is not far from here, just follow me."

  Mei Dahai and Han Weiran walked forward, the blood-sucking lion beast closely followed behind them. Qin Lingyun fell silent for a moment before also setting off on her own path over water.

  Walking over the soft sand at the bottom of the river, Qin Lingyun soon felt a strong suction force in front of her that was pulling nearby objects forward.

  Some small fish nearby couldn't resist the suction and were involuntarily sucked in and sent forward.

  "It seems that the whirlpool is just nearby." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  Qin Lingyun quickened her pace, and soon she saw a whirlpool about two or three zhang in diameter. Mei Han and his friends were standing nearby, their spiritual energy flashing as they struggled to resist the whirlpool's suction.

  "The whirlpool is right here, who will go in first?" Mei Dahai said. He had to ask Qin Lingyun first, after all, Qin Lingyun was the strongest here and controlled their lives and deaths.

  "You go in first, I'll follow later." Qin Lingyun couldn't be the first to enter. If there was some unknown danger below the whirlpool, the first cultivator to enter would be in great danger. Mei Han's three friends had said that the secret land was true, but it couldn't be 100% confirmed. Mei Da Hai Dao: "Second Brother, Third Sister, I'll go down first."

  Han Wei said: "Be careful, big brother."

  "Don't worry, there's no danger inside." Mei Dahai waved his hand and disappeared into the whirlpool.

  A whirlpool formed by the swirling water, with a black center like ink, I don't know where it leads to. After waiting for a cup of tea time, Qin Lingyun did not feel any unusual reaction from Meidahai's life-saving spirit in the storage bag.

  "It seems safe on the opposite side, but still can't be reckless, let them go in first."

  Under Qin Lingyun's gaze, Mei Qing and Han Weiran also entered the whirlpool.

  Just like before, Qin Lingyun still let the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast enter the vortex first, and then followed closely behind. As soon as she entered the vortex, Qin Lingyun felt a strong tearing force acting on her body. For a moment, the entire world was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, but her body continued to rotate forward along with inertia.

  Qin Lingyun's fingers formed a seal, and in an instant, a frosty shield condensed in front of her. Afterwards, she felt the sky spinning and the earth revolving, and when she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived at a strange and mysterious world.

  Before she could react, a sharp impact force struck her.

  It hit the ice shield just right, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Only then did Qin Lingyun see clearly that it was a pale blue giant prawn, about half a person tall, raising its two huge pincers to clip her over.

  After being shaken back by the icy shield, a sharp whistling sound came out of the big shrimp's mouth, and its small eyes turned blood red, seemingly very angry.

  Qin Lingyun never thought that she was in a place with blue water, surrounded by some strange aquatic plants, red coral clusters and colorful small fish.

  "Could this be the ocean floor?" Qin Lingyun's heart skipped a beat, she had only read about the ocean in books, but had never seen it with her own eyes.

  The scenery around showed that this was the ocean, and the place reached from the Nujiang whirlpool was actually the ocean, which Qin Lingyun had never expected.

  Looking around, Mei Han's three friends had all disappeared, and even the blood-sucking lion beast was nowhere to be seen.

  Qin Lingyun immediately sensed their whereabouts through Mei Han's three friends' life-saving divine consciousness, and at the same time sensed its location through the spiritual connection with the bloodthirsty lion beast.

  Soon, Qin Lingyun's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.

  "Unable to sense the location of Mei Han San You, even the Bloodthirsty Lion Beast couldn't be sensed. Where did they go?" Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  "A burst... A powerful force struck again."

  The giant prawn launched another attack, Qin Lingyun patted the storage bag, a black light flew out, and turned around at the position where the head and body of this giant prawn were connected.

  The lobster's head was immediately cut off and fell down.

  "A mere low-ranking demonic beast, truly ignorant of its own mortality."

  Qin Lingyun easily beheaded the giant prawn and stood on a rock looking around.

  "Which way should I go?" Qin Lingyun hesitated, she had entered the whirlpool to find that place of dense land, but unexpectedly ended up at the bottom of the ocean. It was said that there were endless sea beasts in the ocean, and the big shrimp just now was only an ordinary first-class lower-grade demon beast. If some higher-grade demon beasts came again, Qin Lingyun would have to flee in a hurry.

  No matter what, in this strange place, danger is everywhere.

  "That whirlpool is actually a teleportation array, but that teleportation array teleported us too far away."

  There was no time to think about the transmission array, and the most pressing issue in front of Qin Lingyun was which direction to go.

  The sea floor was a dull blue in all directions, making it impossible to tell east from west or north from south. Qin Lingyun also ruled out the possibility of swimming upwards towards the surface, because as soon as she reached the surface, she would be exposing herself to a large number of unknown sea monsters, and the risk of death would be too great.

  Just as Qin Lingyun was hesitating, a wave suddenly surged up, and she stumbled, almost falling down.

  "There's a strong spiritual energy fluctuation up ahead, let's go take a look."

  Qin Lingyun couldn't tell directions now. Since there was a situation in front of her, she might as well go and take a look. Maybe she could find some clues.

  Since arriving at this strange seabed, Qin Lingyun had a faint feeling that there must be some ulterior motive. The whirlpool was clearly leading to a secret place, so why would it send her here?

  Qin Lingyun did not suspect that Mei Hansan would cheat her, and according to her speculation, it was possible that Mei Hansan and the others also did not know that such an accident would occur. They might have been successfully transmitted to the secret land with the bloodthirsty lion beast, or they might have been transmitted to another unknown area.

  The waves surged continuously, Qin Lingyun retracted her own spiritual power fluctuations, slapped a concealment talisman on herself, and then carefully made her way towards the location of the spiritual power explosion.

  Along the way, Qin Lingyun's spiritual consciousness occasionally sensed that sea creatures similar to that large shrimp were rushing in the opposite direction of the explosion of spiritual energy, as if they were fleeing in a panic.

  Qin Lingyun's eyesight was astonishing, even at the bottom of the sea, she could still see clearly within a range of tens of meters, her spiritual awareness could project even further than her vision.

  Gradually approaching the spiritual power fluctuations, Qin Lingyun had just seen a black dot in the distance. Her heart skipped a beat: "This time it's not good, I'm afraid I've made a mistake."

  That black dot must be a very powerful sea creature. Qin Lingyun turned around and quickly escaped: "I hope that sea creature didn't discover me, sea creatures are generally full of hostility towards humans, if it discovers me, the consequences will be unthinkable."

  But what made Qin Lingyun's heart skip a beat was that the black dot was actually chasing after her at an extremely fast speed. Sea creatures in the sea would naturally be two to three times stronger, and since Qin Lingyun had to constantly maintain her spiritual energy shield in the seawater to resist its erosion, her speed decreased by several degrees.

  One disappeared and another grew larger, soon the black spot became a strange creature.

  The skull was a bright red wyvern's, while the body was that of a human, clad in black armor, with bare arms that were muscular and covered in bright red scales.

  A pair of cruel eyes flashed with an unusual light, and a long tongue kept darting in and out of the mouth.

  "Half-human, half-python! This is the Blood Python Dragon that has survived the heavenly calamity!" Just as Qin Lingyun had this thought, a flash of blood light appeared, and the Blood Python's shadow was already in front of her, blocking her way.

  Qin Lingyun was greatly shocked, in front of the Blood Python she didn't even have the ability to resist, having passed through the Heavenly Tribulation, it could transform into a half-human half-python shape, which meant that this Blood Python had already formed its inner elixir, equivalent to a human cultivator in the Golden Core stage, and in the sea, the Blood Python was much stronger than an ordinary Golden Core stage cultivator.

  Compared with Blood Python's strength, one is in heaven and one is on earth, the gap is too big.

  The blood python looked at Qin Lingyun coldly, but didn't make a move immediately. However, Qin Lingyun didn't give up. She flexed her fingers, and a dark gleam flashed as the black awl shot towards the blood python.

  The Blood Python simply stretched out a claw and directly grasped the dark light, no matter how Qin Lingyun urged it on, the dark awl remained motionless in his hand.

  Qin Lingyun's fingers formed a seal, and she released another ice arrow. The blood python's eyes flashed with disdain, and it snapped its fingers, causing the ice arrow to shatter in the seawater.

  Xue Xiao's cold gaze made Qin Lingyun feel uneasy in her heart.

  His eyes originally had a murderous intent, but upon seeing the ice arrow released by Qin Lingyu, the intent retreated somewhat. He then opened his mouth wide and slowly spat out a sentence in human language: "Human cultivator, what brings you to my Blood Refining Sea?"

  Qin Lingyun bowed and said: "I was unintentionally drawn into this place, I have no other intentions."
