Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

Chapter 121: The Secret Treasure at the Bottom of the Lake Translation

Little Jin nodded. Sure enough, it was as Gu Xi had expected. It seemed that he had to go down and explore. The most powerful creature in the lake had already been subdued by Gu Xi. If he wanted to enter the bottom of the lake again, there naturally would not be any obstacles.

Even if there was any danger, with Little Jin around, there would not be a problem.

Little Jin spat out two more bubbles. They looked extremely fragile, but in reality, they were indestructible. Gu Xi curiously touched them with his hands. He did not know what material they were made of, but they were soft and flowing in all directions. They looked exceptionally magical.

It gestured for Gu Xi and Little Nine to enter and then disappeared into the lake. With this bubble, Gu Xi and Little Nine could breathe freely in the water. They were even able to block out the bone-piercing cold in the lake.

It should be Little Jin’s special talent. For Gu Xi, it would be extremely convenient to go into the water in the future.

After entering the water, it was as if they had entered another world. The light became dimmer. As they went deeper, it was difficult for the light from the shore to shine in, and the surrounding scenery became more and more blurry.

Groups of small fish passed by Gu Xi and Little Nine. There were very few aquatic plants around, and the species were very simple. Only carp lived here, and their food was shrimp.

It was normal to think about it. After all, the Golden Carp King was extremely overbearing. How could he allow other fish to live here?

They had been swimming for an unknown amount of time. The lake did not seem deep, but in fact, it was much bigger than Gu Xi had imagined. Even with the bubble’s barrier, he could still feel the ice-cold lake water and an inexplicable pressure.

Gradually, as the light dimmed, even the small fish disappeared, and the surrounding lake water became muddy.

One could clearly feel the undercurrents in the surroundings. There were even countless vortexes in the lake water. If someone dared to enter the lake and was entangled by the vortexes, it would be difficult for them to escape and suffocate to death.

The Golden Carp King led Gu Xi and Little Nine, successfully avoiding these dangerous places every time.

The world under the lake was indeed different. It was even more dangerous than on the shore. There were dangers everywhere.

At this moment, Gu Xi could not help but feel lucky that he did not act rashly. At that time, he had not subdued the Golden Carp King. In addition, he did not know the situation inside the lake. He was afraid that he would not have any advantage.

Little Jin was extremely familiar with this place. After all, it was his territory that he had lived in for many years.

After an unknown amount of time, a huge secret door appeared in front of Gu Xi. It was engraved with this ancient and mysterious totem. Because of the corrosion of the water flow, the patterns on it had long been unclear.

The surroundings were filled with dark green water plants and rust. After thousands of years of precipitation, it had long been covered in its original color.

Gu Xi caressed the secret door and could not help but sigh. “I never thought that there would be such an exquisite mechanism at the bottom of the lake.”

He could feel that there was an abundance of spiritual energy coming out from the crack, and it even affected the water area, so much so that it was almost solid.

Through Little Jin’s telepathic thoughts in his mind, he knew that this secret door had existed in this place since it could remember. The Golden Carp King saw that it was special, and it had abundant spiritual energy, so it had been cultivating nearby this place, only then did it have its current strength and cultivation.

As expected, Gu Xi’s gaze looked to the side. There were many aquatic plants, seashells, pearls, and other miscellaneous things hanging on the secret door. It was obvious that the Golden Carp King had made a nest here.

No wonder it was so familiar with this path!

Noticing Gu Xi’s gaze, Little Jin shook his head in embarrassment. With a sweep of his tail, the strong current washed away all those things.

“Haven’t you been curious about what’s behind the secret door for so long?”

Little Jin shook his head.

It turned out that the Golden Carp King’s strength was not enough, so it could not open the secret door. It continued to do so as its strength increased. Later on, it just went with the flow and muddled along.

In any case, it did not matter what was behind the secret door. As long as it did not affect its cultivation, it was fine.

Gu Xi circulated her spiritual power in her palm and slammed it toward the secret door. “I want to see what is behind this door.”

However, the moment he circulated her spiritual power, the surrounding undercurrents surged rapidly. They even attacked Gu Xi’s side. Before they could get close to Gu Xi, they were smashed into pieces by Little Jin’s fish tail.

All of these were secondary and did not cause much of an impact. Gu Xi frowned as he looked at the weak spiritual sense in his palm. It was as if there was an invisible force twining around his palm, causing his spiritual power to become somewhat stagnant.

The most important thing was that he could faintly sense that something was devouring his spiritual power.

There was an unknown force in the surroundings of this water area. It was possible that it was influenced by the secret door. Therefore, anyone who entered the water area would not be able to unleash their full strength. Moreover, they would be completely exhausted.

It turned out that this was the most dangerous place. As Gu Xi increased his spiritual power, the speed at which his spiritual power was being devoured became faster and faster. If this continued, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for long and his spiritual power would be exhausted.

Gu Xi decisively withdrew his spiritual power and looked at the secret door in front of him. He could not help but sigh. “First, there was the protection of the Golden Carp King, and then there is such a setup. What exactly is inside?”

No matter who it was, it was not an existence that was easy to deal with. Relying just on Gu Xi’s power, it was impossible to open the secret door. To be more precise, it was this area of water that was resisting his existence.

If it was not for Little Jin’s bubble around him, he and Little Nine would not have been able to hold on for so long in this area of water. Moreover, the ice-cold and bone-piercing lake water was able to penetrate the defense of spiritual power.

Gu Xi’s gaze turned and looked at Little Jin beside him. He immediately had an idea.
