River!
What appeared before Li Chen’s eyes was an endless vast river! It was a river that was incomparable to any sea Li Chen had ever seen!
As for why it’s called a river, Li Chen didn’t know, but there was a subconscious feeling in his heart constantly telling him, this is a river!
Moreover, Li Chen discovered that the river water, just like the Nether River he saw outside, was black!
Yet, even when touching it with both hands, he could only feel an icy chill, leaving not a trace of black stains on his palms.
This river, although black, was not dirty at all; on the contrary, it was incredibly clean and clear!
At this mont, a conflicting feeling arose in Li Chen’s heart.
How could a purely black river have clear water?
"This is it." The woman spoke indifferently without even looking at Li Chen.
"In front of you, there are a total of ten-layered waters, each layer asuring ten miles in length. Right now, you’re at the outermost part, which is the Tenth Layer. If you can succeed in reaching the innermost part of the water, which is the First Layer of the Primitive Waters, you will have passed the test." The woman’s voice was filled with an emotion Li Chen couldn’t discern.
"Ten-Layered Waters?"
Li Chen could feel the river’s water was cold, similar to this space, a kind of coldness that couldn’t be resisted with True Yuan. With his Body Refinent Cultivation, crossing such waters shouldn’t pose much of a problem, right?
But why did the woman say his success rate was less than ten percent?
"Sothing’s not right!"
Ten-Layered Waters!
Li Chen thought of this keyword.
This is only the outermost Tenth Layer, which ans the deeper he goes, the stronger the test?
But, what kind of test could it be?
Lowering water temperature? Or are there fierce beasts lurking?
Li Chen didn’t have much ti to think because the woman had already told him the test had begun.
Gritting his teeth, Li Chen no longer hesitated and stepped directly into the icy black river water.
"This is much colder than the Nether River above!" As soon as he stepped in, Li Chen shivered all over, but as his Physical Refinent Cultivation ran its course, this chill gradually diminished.
Gradually, Li Chen’s entire body subrged into the water.
Of course, with his current cultivation level, even entering a vacuum was no big deal, as breathing was already optional for Li Chen with his current cultivation.
Ten-Layered Waters! Li Chen rembered the woman’s words.
Every ten miles is a boundary!
Without hesitation, Li Chen swiftly walked the ten miles to precisely feel the difference between the Ninth and Tenth Layers.
Ninth Layer!
"Gurgle!"
A small water bubble rose in the water as Li Chen took a step over the white boundary line between the Ninth and Tenth Layers.
As he crossed the boundary line, Li Chen felt a tightness in his chest, almost swallowing a gulp of water.
It’s not coldness!
Nor are there any fierce beasts!
Li Chen seed to understand where the difficulty of this test lay.
Pressure!
Between the Ninth and Tenth Layers, almost nothing else changed, only one condition did: the pressure!
Fortunately, this pressure was still within the range Li Chen could endure. After spending two breaths of ti, Li Chen finally recovered because that sudden change was too unexpected.
"No signs of any life activity, it seems the test’s difficulty lies here."
Li Chen found that even with his perception at its maximum, there were still no signs of life, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
If, under such a terrifying test, there were still things attacking him, he felt he might as well go back and let that woman take action directly.
But... this is only the Ninth Layer!
Li Chen could feel that the pressure here was twice as much as the Tenth Layer! Totaling three tis the Tenth Layer!
Continuing like this, even Li Chen couldn’t imagine how terrifying the pressure at the First Layer would be.
After a mont of hesitation in his heart, Li Chen chose to continue forward.
Li Chen didn’t know that within his body, a few entities that had been pretend-dead for a long ti began to chatter away.
"Broken Boots, don’t you think that woman looks familiar?"
"A bit familiar... huh, Broken Mirror, who are you calling Broken Boots?"
"Let’s not talk about that now, Heavenly Dao Pearl, hey, don’t sleep, I’m calling you."
"What’s going on?" The Heavenly Dao Pearl’s voice seed lazy; it spent most of its ti asleep, as it was missing part of its body. Even though it was the strongest among the Nine Great Treasures, it was currently too weak.
"We’re talking about that woman earlier, you must have seen her too, doesn’t she look familiar?" The Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror said suspiciously.
"Seems like... a bit familiar. Hey, now that you ntion it, she does look quite familiar, not just in appearance..." The Heavenly Dao Pearl’s voice also beca odd.
The three Supre Treasures suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
"Could it be?" the Five Elents Boots whispered softly.
"Possibly." The Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror’s voice was indescribably strange.
As if awakened from a deep dream, the Heavenly Dao Pearl suddenly scread, "Could it really be Big Sis?!"
"Keep it down!" The Five Elents Boots snapped in a lowered voice. "If Big Sis finds out we’re all here and ignoring her, how do you plan on dying?"
"I..." The Heavenly Dao Pearl just wanted to speak when a voice interjected.
"What are you talking about? Big Sis who?" Li Chen asked curiously.
"Nothing, nothing, you must have heard wrong!" The Five Elents Boots and the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror quickly shook their heads. Even the Heavenly Dao Pearl remained silent at this mont.
Just as Li Chen was about to withdraw his consciousness, a childish voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Master, they said that woman looks like their Big Sis."
"Damn, you little dagger with no class unity, you’ve been eavesdropping all along?!" The Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror was taken aback.
The Five Elents Boots also looked dumbfounded; they were so tense earlier that they didn’t realize a red dagger was hiding nearby, eavesdropping.
"Their... Big Sis?" Li Chen was also a bit dumbfounded.
The concept of the Nine Great Treasures had once given Li Chen great shock, being the most powerful treasures between Heaven and Earth!
Although these items currently had no practical use in Li Chen’s hands, he firmly believed that soday he would make these items unleash their true potential again.
Having obtained the Five Elents Boots and the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror, plus the incomplete Heavenly Pearls, Li Chen was already quite satisfied. He had never thought about collecting all the Nine Great Treasures to summon sothing...
But... that woman resembles their Big Sis?
Li Chen quickly ran through the nas of the Nine Great Treasures in his mind one by one.
Finally, Li Chen locked his target on one of the Supre Treasures!
