With an iron chain wrapped tightly around her waist, Ye Lingyue grabbed the chain with one hand and held Little Di Shen tightly with the other.
Little Di Shen seed to sense the possible danger. He neither cried nor fussed, just held onto Ye Lingyue’s neck with his chubby little hands.
Everyone worked together to slowly lower the chain down into Galaxy Creek.
The disciples of the Lonely Moon Sea beside them opened their mouths but said nothing more, yet the disdain in their eyes from earlier was gone.
They had escorted many ships before, but this was the only team that worked in unison, without falling apart, and all of this was because of soone nad Ye Lingyue.
The waves roared in Galaxy Creek, and the fierce Gang Wind was extrely powerful.
Ye Lingyue’s limbs dangled in mid-air, and the further she descended, the more she could feel the power of the treacherous Galaxy Creek.
Ten ters, fifty ters, one hundred ters, two hundred ters, as the chain was slowly lowered, the weight of the chain and her body was in a tug-of-war against the angry waves of the Gang Wind.
But when they reached halfway down Galaxy Creek, at about eight or nine hundred ters.
Below Galaxy Creek, the Gang Wind and water vapor combined to form an extrely rare Water Absorption Dragon, creating a massive whirlpool.
The Water Absorption Dragon had infinite suction, instantly pulling Ye Lingyue and Little Di Shen into it, and the chain on their waists was suddenly flung loose.
The two were sucked into the whirlpool together.
Above the sea ridge, everyone felt the chain in their hands suddenly sink, as if sothing powerful was pulling it, and then it suddenly beca lighter.
"Oh no, did it encounter so kind of Sea Beast?"
Luo Yi and the others were shocked, exchanging glances in disbelief.
"It’s all your fault, you got the Ling Yue siblings killed." Luo Yi, furious, was about to jump off the sea ridge to see what happened, but was firmly stopped by the others.
When Ye Lingyue and Little Di Shen were swept into the whirlpool by the Water Absorption Dragon, there was a mont of panic, but she quickly cald down because she discovered there was an Array inside the Water Absorption Dragon.
A flash of snow-white light, and Galaxy Creek disappeared.
In front of them appeared a sunny sky and a beautiful waterfall, the Gang Wind gone, surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers.
The drop of the waterfall was large, at least three or four hundred ters high.
In the middle of the waterfall was a platform made from polished stone.
On the platform walked a short old man with a red nose.
The old man had a bamboo rod stuck in front of him and was dozing off, not noticing even when the float on his fishing rod moved a couple of tis.
When Ye Lingyue and Little Di Shen fell, they landed precisely with a "thump" on the old man’s body.
The little old man let out a yelp.
"Ouch, who hit the old man, who is so blind."
The old man opened his eyes, furiously searching for the "culprit," only to see a baby.
The baby sat on the platform, kicking his little feet and knocking his fishing basket into the water.
Seeing the Spirit Fish he painstakingly collected over the past few days, the old man was furious, but he couldn’t vent his anger on a baby.
Beside him stood a little girl with twin buns.
The little girl was strikingly pretty, and upon arriving, she didn’t show much surprise, quickly locking her gaze on the little old man.
It seed this little old man was just like the old white-haired woman before, an elder of the Lonely Moon Sea.
"Sir, is this the Lonely Moon Sea?"
Ye Lingyue understood she was on solid ground now, realizing that the so-called Galaxy Creek was just a paper tiger.
It just looked perilous, but as long as the candidate disciples had the courage to jump into Galaxy Creek, they would encounter the Array hidden within the Water Absorption Dragon, naturally being transported into the Lonely Moon Sea hidden within Galaxy Creek.
"You’re a candidate from the second selection, and you brought a little one along?" The little old man’s red nose twitched, his anger subsiding slightly. "I’ve waited for several days and nights, and finally soone arrived. Co, follow the little old man to the final selection."
"Sir, I’m just the first to arrive, there are others coming, please wait a mont."
"Others?"
The little old man was skeptical.
"We’re together."
This little girl was a bit different.
Previous disciples who entered Galaxy Creek successfully never cared about others’ lives or deaths and were eager to proceed to the final selection.
After speaking, Ye Lingyue reassured Little Di Shen, then turned and walked to the side of the waterfall.
A golden light flashed, and a Flying Sword soared through the air. She stepped onto the Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant, rising several hundred ters, finding that Array at the top of the waterfall, and gave the chain inside a hard tug.
On the sea ridge, since Ye Lingyue "had an accident," everyone remained silent.
No one left, and no one went down again.
Just then, the chain that had been motionless suddenly moved a couple of tis.
"Look! The chain moved! Ling Yue succeeded!"
Luo Yi was the first to notice the signal on the chain, exclaiming joyfully.
"Could it be a trick?"
So people hesitated.
Ye Lingyue appeared weak and frail, and she had a child with her.
Did she successfully pass through Galaxy Creek in such a short mont?
This point made them skeptical.
"You don’t have to believe it, but I do. I’m going down." Luo Yi, seeing Ye Lingyue and Little Di Shen go down, regretted it.
She should have been braver and gone down first.
She had already prepared for the worst, even if sothing really happened to the Ling Yue siblings, she would retrieve their bodies.
Having said that, Luo Yi imdiately started pulling the chain back, then without hesitation wrapped the chain around herself and headed for the bottom of Galaxy Creek.
Luo Yi naturally also successfully entered the Lonely Moon Sea.
With the example set by Ye Lingyue, Little Di Shen, and Luo Yi, more and more people, one after another, headed into Galaxy Creek.
On a boat, over a hundred people, besides the first two who sacrificed themselves, the remaining hundred or so people all passed through Galaxy Creek without any danger.
Watching the now-empty sea ridge, several disciples of the Lonely Moon Sea were deep in thought.
"Brother Qin, it seems that this selection will bring a lot of new blood to the sect." A female disciple, who was very delicate-looking, spoke.
"It’s a bit too early to say that. Who knows how many can actually stay in the end. Don’t forget, the final selection this year is presided over by the most critical Elder Feng. His criteria for selecting disciples have always been extrely harsh."
The leading male disciple was dismissive.
He didn’t hold these new disciples in high regard at all, as the harshness of the Lonely Moon Sea was not sothing ordinary people could endure.
Having said that, the few disciples, as if by prior agreent, rushed toward the bottom of the sea ridge, where a small boat awaited them.
