Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 989: Chapter 306: Gui Xu_5

“Why is it like this? I heard the Sea God Eye on the west side of Jin Chuan Island has existed longer than this one, and never heard of it depleting…”

“Wait a little longer! I don’t believe this Sea God Eye will run out!”

Many cultivators were unwilling to believe that this Sea God Eye would truly deplete, patiently waiting until the sun hung high, ushering in the fourth eruption of the Sea God Eye.

This time, as with the third, there was no decrease in Sea Soul Crystals for the Qi Cultivation Realm, but none appeared for the Fetal Breathing and Golden Core Realms.

At that moment, most cultivators fell into despair!

Many Purple Mansion Realm cultivators chose to leave after the fourth eruption ended.

This allowed those cultivators with lower cultivation on the periphery a chance to enter the central area.

“Fellow Daoist Ge Chi is unfortunate to experience the depletion of the Sea God Eye on the first visit.”

“I fear there will be no gains from this trip?”

Zhao Tianhai, who had previously squeezed to the front with much effort, also hurried back at this moment.

Shen Chongming remained almost unmoved in his stance, still in the same spot, and he greeted him with a smile.

Shen Chongming shook his head with a bitter smile, yet said nothing.

Zhao Tianhai returned to a colorful cloud and sighed softly, saying, “Fellow Daoist, what do you plan to do next?”

“Will you continue to wait?”

Shen Chongming nodded and said, “I don’t have any pressing matters, so I plan to wait a bit more.”

“Is Fellow Daoist Zhao going back?”

Zhao Tianhai looked at the disciple beside him and replied, “It’s time to head back. I originally planned to gain some rewards and provide them with some magical artifacts and robes, but now, it seems our luck is unfavorable, encountering such an event.”

“I can only head back and seek other opportunities.”

“Fellow Daoist, farewell for now.”

Zhao Tianhai cupped his hands and commanded the colorful cloud to fly northward.

Watching as the colorful cloud disappeared from sight, Shen Chongming frowned slightly and muttered, “I misunderstood him.”

He initially thought Zhao Tianhai was following him, but now seeing him leave so decisively, it was clear he was only here to collect Sea Soul Crystals.

As he mused silently, the space beside him rippled.

“Kid, grandpa’s back, let’s go!”

Hearing the voice of the Thunder Pool Spirit, Shen Chongming snapped back and quickly stored it into his dantian.

“Wow!”

Just returning to the Thunder Pool in the dantian, the engorged Thunder Pool Spirit could no longer hold back, opening its mouth wide, instantly spewing out a large number of crystals of various colors and sizes!

Among the pile of crystals, the majority were the green Sea Soul Crystals for the Fetal Breathing Realm, Shen Chongming estimated there might be over ten thousand!

The sky-blue Golden Core Realm Sea Soul Crystals must have numbered at least in the thousands!

Apart from the green and sky-blue, Shen Chongming also discovered two red Sea Soul Crystals!

By their aura, it was clear these two were for the Purple Mansion Realm!

“You didn’t empty out all the Sea Soul Crystals above the Fetal Breathing Realm from the Sea God Eye, did you?”

Shocked, Shen Chongming quickly asked.

He had realized earlier when people were discussing the depletion of the Sea God Eye that it was likely the Thunder Pool Spirit’s doing.

Now seeing it brought out so many Sea Soul Crystals, Shen Chongming feared it had drained the entire Sea God Eye.

After spewing out all the Sea Soul Crystals it had swallowed, the Thunder Pool Spirit lay sprawled in the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, panting heavily.

“How is that possible!”

“What I’ve brought out is less than one ten-thousandth of the Sea Soul Crystals in the sea eye.”

Pausing, it suddenly sat up with a gulp and said, “Kid, I vaguely feel there’s significant karma attached to these Sea Soul Crystals.”

“It’s best not to use them at all, but rather exchange them all for Spirit Crystals instead.”

Significant karma with the Sea Soul Crystals?

Shen Chongming was puzzled, “The sea beasts that turn into Sea Soul Crystals died naturally; we didn’t kill them, where’s the karma?”

The Thunder Pool Spirit, still looking solemn, replied, “You don’t understand, this karma is the karma of heaven and earth, the Sea Soul Crystals hide a great secret behind them. Though I haven’t figured it out yet, you must trust me.”

“This stuff, don’t touch it.”

Shen Chongming remained silent.

He had already learned from Zhao Tianhai the many uses of Sea Soul Crystals, and now with so many, using all of them to trade for Spirit Crystals was evidently the lowest value option.

But the Thunder Pool Spirit likely wouldn’t joke about such matters.

“Kid, have you heard of the Abyss?”

The Thunder Pool Spirit pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking.

The Abyss?

Shen Chongming’s Divine Sense Body shook its head.

“What is the Abyss?”

The Thunder Pool Spirit stood up, picked up the red Purple Mansion Sea Soul Crystal before it, its eyes flashing with a hint of confusion, and murmured, “If it weren’t for the collapse of the Abyss, the deceased souls wouldn’t be unable to enter the Netherworld, so how could the spiritual souls of these sea beasts form such strange things?”

“Indeed, even the Sea God Eye contains the aura of the Abyss…”

“Everything’s in chaos, completely thrown into disorder…”

“What on earth happened, why has everything fallen into total disarray?”

“The heavens… have perished, the Netherworld has vanished, and yet this world continues in such a bizarre fashion…”

The Thunder Pool Spirit murmured in a seemingly crazy manner in the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, its hand holding the Purple Mansion Sea Soul Crystal inadvertently shimmering with sky-blue electric arcs.

Shen Chongming was carefully savoring the meaning behind those bizarre mutterings.

A sudden explosion sounded in the Purple Mansion Dao Palace within the dantian!

The next moment, the Thunder Pool Spirit suddenly cried out, “It’s broken!”

Recovering his senses, Shen Chongming shockingly found that somehow, this fellow had crushed the red Purple Mansion Sea Soul Crystal!

An abundance of dense Divine Soul Power permeated the Purple Mansion Dao Palace, and from the Sea Soul Crystal, a small turtle, the size of a palm, silently floated within the mass of bright red Divine Soul Power.
