Following the direction of Shen Lian’s finger, the blue luminescence was scattered around. Perhaps it was because of how dark the underwater was, and hence the luminescence just looked more noticeable.
When the blue luminescence appeared suddenly, it felt like a blowhole was blowing out air without warning, which caught people unprepared.
It was where the Qi of devilry was extremely thick. As the blue luminescence was born, they scattered around quickly.
The Qi of devilry was wrapped in the light and blended with the sea water. Shen Lian could see clearly that everywhere the blue luminescence went through, the sea water would generate some form of unknown vibration and the deadly feeling followed suit.
These Yin devilry power gathered together to form something unbelievably sharp. A lot of the underwater plants were eliminated in a moment. The blue light that formed on Shen Lian’s palm once left his hand, began to grow quickly into a net, which captured the Yin devilry power coming towards him.
An ice wall was formed and the Yin devilry power was attached to the ice wall. With the pressure of the water, the ice wall started to crack.
The area which ejected the blue luminescence stopped its motion and the Eye of the Sea appeared.
The Eye of the Sea looked no different from the wellheads on earth. It was surrounded by unnamed stones, which looked transparent. They could be under the influence of the Qi of devilry for too long.
Shen Lian said,
Is the Black Water Residence inside?

It was his second time asking the question. The first time he asked, the Eye of the Sea was having some odd activities. This time around it was quiet.
General Tusk continued to say nothing.
Shen Lian laughed as he knew roughly what was going on. He did not expect the Black Water King to be so powerful to be able to build the residence in the middle of the Eye of the Sea. From his judgment, there was lava underneath the ground, and this place was one of Yin devilry – the extreme Yin wrapped in Yang.
It was akin to the Half-faced Taichi Fish’s core of Yang.
Shen Lian moved slightly and then he carried General Tusk to the side of the Eye of the Sea. The vitality inside was breathing, like a living human. Shen Lian saw how the water flowed in and then out.
The Yin devilry power grew stronger as he approached it. Fortunately, he prepared the seed of Ice Light. With that, regardless of the Yin devilry power that flowed in, he could use his large supply of mana to dismiss it.
The light was growing at an unbelievable speed as if a seed was left to germinate and it was visible to eyes.
General Tusk finally spoke,
Are you not afraid of Xuanming Qi of Devilry?

Shen Lian laughed,
So this Yin devilry power is called Xuanming Qi of Devilry. I thought this Qi of devilry was natural, but now it seems like it is set up by someone.

General Tusk said,
It was a divine restriction set up by my King. If you enter, you will not be able to come out alive.

Shen Lian looked at him from the side,
Really?

He moved his hand and threw General Tusk into the Eye of the Sea. General Tusk did not expect Shen Lian to do it and as it was wrapped by Shen Lian’s net, when it fell into the Eye of the Sea, it still had no strength. All of a sudden, the Xuanming Qi of Devilry froze the net and itself. Both fell down together as a frozen object.
Shen Lian saw there was indeed nothing. The only thing that was hindering the entrance and exit of the Eye of the Sea was the Xuanming Qi of devilry. He did not expect that General Tusk could do nothing against the Xuanming Qi of Devilry.
It seemed that the unicorn shark could not enter the eye previously.
The Eye of the Sea breathed the seawater around it rhythmically, until it reached a threshold, it will erupt and leave residual Qi of devilry around the area.
The last time Mystical Whale was here, it could be too unfortunate to meet the timing where it was releasing the Xuanming Qi of Devilry.
The breathing in and out of the Eye of the Sea was very rhythmic, similar to how one was releasing the old and taking in the new. However, even if the Eye of the Sea had spirituality, it would not take shape after hundred thousand years of cultivation.
The light around Shen Lian moved and covered his entire body. Then he jumped inside the Eye of the Sea.
The water current of the Eye of the Sea was rather bendy, but the downward spiral was smooth.
Once he entered, with the current, the pressure decreased. What was threatening to him was only the Qi of devilry. Although the Yin devilry power was releasing just a little bit of coldness, the ultimate devilry was conservative. It would not let out the coldness within without any disturbance.
With Ice Light, it was impossible for the Qi of devilry to freeze him.
To an unknown depth, Shen Lian’s body felt light all of a sudden. He looked around, it seemed like he had reached a crystal palace which was bright and spacious.
There was an ice sculpture at the corner. It was General Tusk.
It could not move under the ice, but it was still alive. It was an odd species as one needed to understand that even the Mystical Whale could do nothing against the Qi of devilry, but this species was not impacted.
However, it was not out of the expectation as this species could survive at this depth. Its horn was the top material to make equipment.
Shen Lian could not be bothered with him and it seemed like it did not understand anything. Whether there was really a Black Water King remained unknown.
Shen Lian landed on the ground. In the middle there was a small pool. The wall of the pool was adorned with big pearls. The luminescence was released by the pearls, which made this place look like it was during the time of the day.
There was a round roof above it, where there were two water pillars falling down into the pool.
The round roof looked like an invisible shield which prevented the sea water from entering.
The pool looked like a central station which moved the water around.
Shen Lian took in a breath. The Qi of vitality here was pure and thick. Even for commoners who did not cultivate, if they stay here for long, it would be no surprise that they could live till hundred fifty to hundred sixty years old with no sickness or calamities.
There was a small path on the right side. Shen Lian considered for a while, then he walked towards it. The pool seemed like it had the ability to adjust Yin and Yang. The Yin devilry seemed to stem from the pool, and through the water pillar, it was released. However, the fundamental of it did not seem to be the pool.
He walked on the small path and the stone walls on the sides were scribbled with runes he could not understand. They might not even be runes but writings that represented the heaven and earth, the mountain and rivers, the day and night, and also the stars.
Shen Lian never saw such writings before. Each stroke was crooked, but at the same time perfectly natural and without hesitance.
The small path was short and after Shen Lian got out, he was surprised to see a huge residence in front, with the board written clearly with four words.
It was the same writing as the runes along the way but written with more power. Each stroke was as if they would bounce out from the board.
The board was not a common item. The aroma released from it calmed Shen Lian down.

Underneath the sea, there is wood of ten thousand years. I don’t know where it belong, but its deep aroma can calm the spirit down, and can help one to be rid of unnecessary thoughts.
Shen Lian recalled this paragraph, it was talking about the agarwood.
There was once an eminent monk who went through a journey in the sea to seek for one piece of agarwood in order to make praying beads and pass on Buddhism.
This place was wasteful enough to use a huge piece of it to make a board. The four words were written, could it be as what General Tusk said – could it be ‘Residence of Black Water’?
