Although going down was not a good decision for people who had a phobia of the sea, Li Jinzhi had no choice but to make this choice. In this empty and boundless place, there was no doubt that it was the other party's specialty. It swam freely, preyed on, and hunted creatures, causing this area to be devoid of grass, fish, and shrimp.

If he went up, he might be able to leave the water, but he didn't know how deep he had sunk. Maybe if he went up for tens of thousands of meters, there would still be an empty and boundless sea, or maybe he was still under the secret realm. If he swam up, there would be a thick layer of ice, and he couldn't get out.

If he went down, there might be craggy rocks for him to hide in.

Li Jinzhi didn't know how many kilometers he had gone down, but the sound of water behind him suddenly stopped and quickly turned away. It actually stopped chasing, and his spiritual energy was about to dry up.

The water pressure around him was almost several times higher than above, and the temperature was even more bone-chilling. If a cultivator of other attributes was here, they would definitely be frozen into a popsicle. Even Li Jinzhi, a cultivator with the Heavenly Ice Spirit Root, had to condense a spiritual energy shield on the surface of his body to accelerate the breathing of ice spiritual energy.

Covered in a thick layer of Ice Crystals, Li Jinzhi looked at the surrounding environment. He didn't dare to relax his nerves in the slightest, for no other reason than that the Tiger-Striped Sea Rabbit left too quickly. It chased him for thousands of meters without giving up, but when he entered this area, it turned around and left.

That meant that maybe the environment here was not suitable for him to stay, or maybe there were sea creatures that he was afraid of.

But Li Jinzhi felt that the other party left so quickly because of the creatures that he was afraid of. They divided their own territories and didn't interfere with each other.

Carefully restraining his aura, Li Jinzhi floated in the water, and the Icebound Formula automatically ran along his meridians. The icy water was full of ice spiritual energy, and after a few large cycles of absorption, the Ice Crystals on the surface of his body became thicker and thicker. In the end, it wrapped him into a piece of icy white ice.

The ice was sinking rapidly in the water. Li Jinzhi did not know what he would encounter if he continued to go down, but the Cultivation Method in his body was running at every second. After running it for nine times, the spiritual Qi that had been following the rules suddenly changed direction and started to run in a strange way.

Li Jinzhi couldn't stop it in time. His face turned red under the countercurrent of spiritual power, and even the huge ice block outside had slight cracks.

Before he had time to panic, Li Jinzhi realized that there was something wrong with the flow of Spiritual Qi. Something was very wrong. Bier, Shinto, and Body Pillar. He seemed to have seen this flow of Spiritual Qi somewhere before.

With a flash of inspiration, Li Jinzhi suddenly remembered the meridian diagram of the Bone Refining and Elixir Sacrificial Formula!

Starting from the Lingtai Meridian, it passed through the Divine Path, the Body Pillar, and finally entered the Baihui Meridian.

But wasn't this book only available to those who had awakened their bloodline?

Why did the Spirit Qi in his body start cultivating without any warning?

Li Jinzhi looked inwardly at the meridians in his body. The Spirit Qi was running in an orderly way, and there was no sign of it going out of control.

Although he couldn't figure out the reason, it was not a good time to think about it. Since there were no side effects, Li Jinzhi did not forcibly change the direction of the Spirit Qi, because this set of Cultivation Method absorbed Spiritual Qi several times faster than before.

The ice was sinking rapidly, but Li Jinzhi's nerves were getting tighter and tighter. The fluctuation of Spiritual Qi around him seemed very strange, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. His sixth sense told him that there was a dangerous creature hibernating here.

He restrained his breath to the lowest level, and the absorption of Spiritual Qi slowed down to the lowest level. Only a few wisps of cold air came out with each breath, and this kind of Spiritual Qi fluctuation was completely covered by the dense cold air emitted by the ice.

After sinking about a few hundred meters, a large shadow suddenly appeared at the end of the originally dark sea on the left side of his body. Although it was all dark, the visual effect of having something and not having something was different.

Li Jinzhi suddenly closed his eyes and quietly stopped the circulation of Spiritual Qi. Just like that, he quietly integrated his mind into the ice, as if he was a piece of hard ice.

The shadow gradually approached and enlarged. Li Jinzhi carefully probed with a wisp of divine sense. The scene that appeared in his sea of consciousness made him break out in a cold sweat.

Only a few meters away from him, a huge bloodshot eyeball was staring at him. The eyeball's owner had soft skin and fine patterns. His divine sense probed down for nearly ten meters before he saw the eyeball's owner's huge tentacles.

It was an octopus!

A deep-sea octopus with an eyeball much bigger than Li Jinzhi's entire body!

There was no record of a similar demonic beast in the Dao of Dan.

It was a demonic beast whose danger and weakness were completely unknown!

God knows how much willpower Li Jinzhi used to not open his eyes. He forced himself to calm down, and cold Spiritual Qi overflowed from his body. He turned his body into ice and hid his breath.

The huge eyeball stared at him for a while and finally lost interest. After turning around, its tentacles stretched out and slowly swam away, gradually turning into a black shadow.

Li Jinzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was filled with doubts.

He fell into the water from the ice corridor of the Ice Maze. At that time, the undercurrent was not rapid. After losing consciousness, it was more likely that he sank than floated away, so there was an eighty percent chance that he was still under the secret realm.

Moreover, the Ice Maze was a secret realm that required teleportation. It opened once every fifty years. No one knew its specific location, and no one knew where the undercurrent under the ice led to.

But why would there be such a ferocious beast in such a secret realm?

And there were two of them?

It was introduced in the beginning that this secret realm was a maze of treasures for ancient cultivators.

A maze of treasures was equivalent to a lair. But why would an ascended almighty person place his lair on a ferocious beast's head?

Was there something wrong with his head?

Obviously not.

If there was nothing wrong with his head, then he could think from another angle. What if the ferocious beast was raised here by an ancient almighty person?

Perhaps it was to guard something?

After pondering for a long time, Li Jinzhi suddenly thought of a description in the original work.

Li Jinzhi and his fellow disciples found a bottomless pit in a side room. They threw stones to explore, but there was no response. Their divine sense was also swallowed up.

A bold companion jumped in to seek an opportunity, but was shocked to find that the hole could consume spiritual power.

The original male protagonist had no choice but to give up entering in the end. He planned to enter in the future when his cultivation level was high. Therefore, this pit became a foreshadowing. At that time, Li Jinzhi himself was very curious about what was inside.

He faintly had a premonition that the secret of the pit might be below, in the depths of the sea.

After a slight hesitation, Li Jinzhi still chose to continue diving. The opportunity was close at hand, and there was no reason to turn back.

Moreover, he still had the protagonist's halo. Only by grasping absolute power could he be worthy of the title of protagonist.

The original author deliberately buried this place as a foreshadowing. Who had ever seen a protagonist who did not advance but retreated after encountering an opportunity?

Moreover, go back?

What if he encountered the Tiger-Striped Sea Rabbit again?

After making up his mind, Li Jinzhi no longer hesitated. He controlled the ice to quickly descend along with the flowing water. He did not know how long he sank before he landed.

The scene at the bottom was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that there would be no other monsters in this abnormally cold water. Especially when the deeper he went, the colder it became. It was even more impossible for there to be any living creatures.

When he went all the way down, he indeed did not see any monsters.

However, everything in front of him was extremely subversive. There were towering mountains at the bottom of the sea, swaying seaweed, crabs gathered in the sand and mud, several ice-white sea turtles crouched in the sunken trench, and silver fish played in the coral clusters emitting cold mist.

Li Jinzhi released his Divine Sense and scanned the surroundings. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The creatures here were free and unfettered. It seemed that the two Ominous Beasts above would not come down, and the sea creatures here would not provoke them.

He was now ninety percent sure that he was still under the secret realm. Not to mention how far the Northern Chill Realm was from the Unpeaceful Sea, the Unpeaceful Sea itself could not be so cold.

Moreover, when he thought about it carefully, the entire sea seemed to be divided into four layers.

On the first layer, he encountered the Spirit Eating Fish. Although they were not very lethal, if they imprisoned a cultivator's cultivation, the cultivator would not be able to withstand the temperature underwater and would be frozen to death. Therefore, the water here was labeled as a place where one would die upon contact.

On the second layer was the Tiger Striped Sea Rabbit. It followed the scent and chased after him. Li Jinzhi did not think that his small body and thin spiritual energy could fill the gaps between the other party's teeth. If the other party was not chasing him for food, then what was it for?

To be kicked around like a ball by Tuan Tuan?

Compared to the first three layers, the fourth layer was simply a fairyland. Looking at the harmonious scene of fish and shrimp, Li Jinzhi landed on the ground. The bone-piercing ice used as a disguise slowly turned into liquid and flowed into his body. In the end, Li Jinzhi's body was only left with a thin layer of Ice Crystals to protect his body.

Li Jinzhi, who stepped on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief. The long-suppressed feeling in his chest disappeared. Only now did he have time to observe the condition of his body.

Why was there no hindrance in cultivating the Ice Phoenix Secret Art when he did not awaken his bloodline?

Thinking of the pain he felt when he was unconscious, Li Jinzhi frowned slightly. Then he remembered another detail. The original male protagonist also cultivated the Icebound Secret Art when he was in the Qi Refining stage. Why didn't he see the contents of the Ice Phoenix Secret Art?

Li Jinzhi compared the differences between him and the original male protagonist, and his frowning brows gradually relaxed.

The original male protagonist did not awaken his bloodline, so he had no chance to see the Ice Phoenix Secret Art. Perhaps he got an opportunity after falling into the water and accidentally awakened his bloodline.

If he wanted to know how he awakened his bloodline, he just had to compare and exclude what he had and what the original male protagonist did not have.

First, the phoenix-shaped jade pendant was on him. The original male protagonist gave it to Ye Dieer.

Second, the original male protagonist did not have the Bone Growing Grass, but he did.

Third, he had Ye Cheng, but the original male protagonist did not.

He ate the Bone Growing Grass, but the effect of the Bone Growing Grass did not allow him to awaken his hidden bloodline, so he crossed it out.

Ye Cheng's effect was kept, so the only thing left was the most suspicious, the phoenix-shaped jade pendant.

Li Jinzhi reached into his lapel and searched. Nothing?

He frowned and searched his back, but he did not turn around. The jade pendant was lost. He did not believe it and searched his front again. However, he felt a bulge near his collarbone.

What is this?

With a stroke of his hand, an ice mirror as long as his body appeared on the sand at the bottom of the sea. Seeing the young man who appeared in the mirror, Li Jinzhi, who was slow to react, suddenly took half a step back. His face was full of disbelief.

！！！！

Shockingly handsome!
