Chapter 108: 8: The Lake
Chapter 108 : The Lake
Upon entering the lake, Qin Lu promptly descended to its depths. After a brief period of time, he stumbled upon a majestic palace nestled beneath the depths of the lake, giving no consideration to the consequences before embarking upon its premises. He came here due to the influence of the sea god.
There were five parts to the Sea God’s inheritance, and he had already obtained two, leaving three left to be acquired. As long as he finds the other three parts, he could become the Sea God. At that time, no one in the Ye family would dare look down on him, and no one would dare take Ye Qingcheng away from him.
When Ye Feiyu and Xiao Yichen entered the lake, Yichen’s master told them to go to the palace at the bottom of the lake. After entering the palace, they saw that there was nothing in it except for a set of floating armor.
“Hmm? This set of armor doesn’t look ordinary at all!”
“This is the Sea God’s Armor.” Xiao Yichen said it with a serious expression. If his master didn’t tell him, he wouldn’t even know the name of this set of armor.
“Sea God’s Armor?” Ye Feiyu was a little confused. She didn’t know who the sea god was, so she naturally didn’t know what it was.
“The Sea God is a Heavenly Tribulation Realm expert. He is a god-like existence, and this set of armor is his armor.”
“What?! This is a treasure. Young Master Xiao, go and try it. With this set of armor, your battle power will definitely increase by a level.”
“Miss Feiyu, don’t you want to try it?”
“No, this set of armor is obviously for men. I am a woman, so it is not suitable for me.” She already had the Holy Spirit armor. Although the Sea God armor was good, it was not suitable for her.
“Okay, then I will try it.” As Xiao Yichen spoke, he rushed towards the armor, but when he got close to it, a force bounced him back.
“Hey, there is a barrier.” Xiao Yichen was taken aback, promptly emitting two beams of Luto’s flame to dismantle the seal. However, despite his fiery efforts, the seal remained unresponsive. Upon recognizing the failure of his attack, Xiao Yichen deliberated briefly before taking out a lengthy spear with the intent of forcefully piercing the seal.
In the end, he was still unable to break it, so he bounced back. Seeing that Xiao Yichen couldn’t break the seal, Ye Feiyu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Young Master Xiao, let me help you.” Ye Feiyu then also took out her own spiritual sword and stabbed toward the barrier.
Unexpectedly, the two, Xiao Yichen and Feiyu, who attacked the barrier together were still forced back, and it remained intact. The treasure was in front of them, but they couldn’t get it.
“Master, can you break this barrier?”
“No.”
“Even you can’t? Even you?”
“This seal is connected to that set of battle armor, and it cannot be broken without the strength of a Heavenly Tribulation realm. Your body is too weak, so I won’t be able to exert such power with it!”
“Ah, wouldn’t that mean I would only be able to look at it and not be able to take it? No way!”
Just as Xiao Yichen and Ye Feiyu were looking at the Sea God Armor, a voice suddenly sounded. “Yo, I didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance here. How are you two!”
Hearing someone speak, Xiao Yichen and Ye Feiyu turned their heads back just to see Qin Lu walking towards them.
“Qin Lu!” Both of them exclaimed at the same time.
“That’s me. What a small world to be able to meet two of you here.”
“How, how did you get in?” Xiao Yichen’s expression changed. If he didn’t have the two lotus flames, he wouldn’t have been able to get in at all. How did Qin Lu get in? Wait, his cultivation is in the Nascent Soul Realm. How is this possible? Wasn’t he just at the Qi Refinement Realm a few months ago?
“Young Master Xiao, your question is stupid. Of course, I walked in. Are you blind?”
“You, your cultivation has recovered? How is that possible?”
Five months ago, he was only at the Qi Refinement Realm. In five months, he had recovered to the Nascent Soul Realm. How did he do it?
“There are many things that are impossible.”
“Miss Ye, long time no see.”
“Qin Lu, long time no see. I heard that you defeated a demon emperor?”
“Yes, maybe the demon emperor ate something bad and didn’t perform well, so I took advantage of it.”
“Didn’t you say that your meridians were all broken? Can you still cultivate?”
“Broken meridians can be reconnected!” Qin Lu smiled. “What are you two doing?” he asked.
“We saw something in the lake, so we came in to take a look.”
“Oh, did the two of you find any treasure?”
“We found the treasure, but it has a barrier and can’t be opened.” Ye Feiyu was a little embarrassed.
Xiao Yichen could see it but couldn’t take it. The more he looked, the angrier he became.
“Young Master Xiao, aren’t you able to break the barrier outside and come in? Can’t this seal be broken?” Qin Lu asked jokingly.
“Hmph, do you think this barrier is easy to break? If you can break it, you can take it,” Xiao Yichen said disdainfully. Every time he meets Qin Lu, it is he who always suffers. It was shameful enough that he couldn’t break the barrier. He didn’t expect to run into Qin Lu. Just thinking about it made him angry.
“Young Master Xiao, people who don’t know what you’re talking about would think that this thing is yours! This armor is quite good. Since you don’t want to take it, then I’ll reluctantly take it.” Qin Lu smiled faintly as he rushed towards the Sea God Armor.
Seeing that Qin Lu was going to try to take the armor, Xiao Yichen and Ye Feiyu’s eyes were fixed on Qin Lu to see if he could get the armor. When Qin Lu’s hand touched the barrier, he retracted his hand.
“Young Master Xiao, if I get the armor, you won’t snatch it, right?”
“Hmph, if you can get it, I won’t snatch it.”
“You said it. If you snatch it, then I curse your whole family to die a horrible death.” Qin Lu smiled and then stretched out his hand toward the Sea God Armor.
Seeing that Qin Lu used this method to force him not to snatch the armor, Xiao Yichen’s face was livid, and he secretly cursed in his heart. ‘Stinking brat, let’s see if you can actually get the armor.’
Speaking of Qin Lu, as his hand came into contact with the seal, a rebounding force appeared. Finding that there was a force blocking him, Qin Lu smiled slightly. He slowly released the qi in his body, and a blue qi directly covered his body. Then, under the shocked gazes of Xiao Yichen and Ye Feiyu, his hand reached into the barrier and grabbed the armor.
When Qin Lu’s hand touched the Sea God Armor, a breath entered Qin Lu’s mind. At the same time, a stream of the Sea God’s divine qi also flowed into his body, which was then stored in a meridian. The information that entered his mind contained the other four moves of the Sea God’s Halberd.
When he obtained the Sea God’s Tear and the Sea God’s Halberd, he obtained the divine skills Unpredictable Storm, Void of a Thousand-Year, and Gone Without Return.
The other four moves he obtained this time were: Sea God’s Divine Light, All Rivers in the Sea, Eternal Vitality, and Ten Thousand Laws Returning to the Void.
The Sea God’s Divine Light was an offensive divine power; All Rivers in the Sea was a recovery skill; Eternal Vitality was a healing skill; and finally, Ten Thousand Laws Returning to the Void was a hidden skill. After digesting all this information, Qin Lu immediately put away the Sea God armor.
Seeing Qin Lu put away the Sea God armor, Xiao Yichen’s face darkened, and his heart was filled with unwillingness.
