moved. Gathering petals of a hundred kinds of spiritual flowers was an extraordinary feat for ordinary cultivators. It was usually only achievable by a single immortal sect with vast spirit fields an...Even though the wooden staff woman was so determined, Lu Xia Tian wasn't going to back down. After waiting almost a year and a half at this Stargaze Lake, he finally got his chance. He didn't want to miss it easily. Otherwise, if this starry stone fish ran away, next time, if he wasn't lucky, it would take almost four or five years for him to encounter one again, with some even exceeding ten years. Even though Lu Xia Tian could wait, the azure blue flames in his legs were showing signs of restlessness during this period. His legs might not be able to hold on.
Lu Xia Tian also followed the black chain straight down. Even though the Starfish Fish's illusion was powerful, it couldn't change the black chains binding him. The wooden staff woman and Lu Xia Tian followed the black chain all the way to close proximity. Although it was dangerous, it was the most effective method.
With a clang! Mu Chai's and Lu Xia Tian's earth-splitting swords pierced the Starry-Eyed Fish nearly simultaneously. Large chunks of scales were pulverized, splashing up fishy blood with a salty tang.
Though this Star-Eyed Stonefish possesses strong defenses, it was still unable to withstand such a close-range strike from a Dan Yuan artifact. After all, anomalies like Di Kun or Maha Blood Toad are exceedingly rare. Being struck by two Dan Yuan swords simultaneously, the Star-Eyed Stonefish let out a pained cry and its massive body twisted continuously.
Under the injury, Xingmùshí fish's strength increased greatly, directly drilling into the heavy water. Lu Xiaotiān and Muchai woman were standing on the body of Xingmùshí fish at this time, unable to borrow any strength at all. When they came back to their senses, they were dragged by Xingmùshí fish into the heavy water.
At this moment, the other people present - Wu siblings and Huang Laogui, Zuo Xian, Zhao Yuanjun and others - all changed their expressions drastically. Without a word, they plunged directly into the water.
Entering heavy water, the pressure is several times that of ordinary water and the temperature is much lower.
As the stargazer fish entered the water, its body violently shook, breaking the black chain magic weapon.
Lu Xia Tian moved his thoughts, a red rope tied the Star-Eyed Stone Fish again. It was the Binding Demon Rope refined by Weng Zhi Han for him when he had just built his foundation. However, as his strength grew, and because this Binding Demon Rope was somewhat vicious, he used it less often. The Binding Demon Rope wound around the Star-Eyed Stone Fish, its small hooks sunk into the fish's wounds, sucking at its essence blood.
The Stargaze Fish cried out, advancing even more frantically in the heavy water. The wooden hairpin woman hurriedly shoved a bead into her mouth, observing its breath. It was actually stronger than Lu Xiaoteng's Melting Water Pearl. As for this, Lu Xiaoteng didn't find it strange at all. After all, when he bought this Melting Water Pearl, he was only at the first level of Qi refining. The wooden hairpin woman's strength was so great that it was natural for her to possess better treasures. Besides, since she came to the Silent Star Lake, she must have made other preparations. Lu Xiaoteng had thought of this too, but the battle had already begun, and time was too tight. Moreover, he originally thought that the Melting Water Pearl on him would be enough. He just didn't expect that there would be such rare heavy water in this Silent Star Lake.
This is just a test.
Without much thought, Lu Xia Tian also swallowed the Rongshui Pearl, and others quickly caught up behind him, seeming to have similar preparations beforehand.
Although the pressure increases as one goes deeper, for the cultivators who are already prepared, it is still within an acceptable range.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The crowd chased after the Star-Eyed Stone Fish, their weapons aimed at it. However, the Star-Eyed Stone Fish often used illusions, causing most of the attacks to miss. The injured Star-Eyed Stone Fish moved incredibly fast underwater, and combined with its illusions, even Lu Xiaoteng's Earth Splitting Blade failed to hit several times. But as time went on, the wounds on the Star-Eyed Stone Fish started to increase. The Binding Demon Rope was currently wrapped around it. It couldn't penetrate the stone scales, but where the scales had been damaged and fallen off, the Binding Demon Rope was extremely effective, piercing into its flesh and constantly sucking its blood.
Facing such a weapon as though it were attached to its very bones, even the Star-Eyed Fish was somewhat helpless.
However, the life force of the Star-Eyed Fish was incredibly tenacious. It dragged Lu Xiaotian and the wooden hairpin woman all the way down into the water, entering a rocky area, at least hundreds of meters deep from the surface.
Lu Xia Tian held the binding demon rope in one hand, his heart not in a hurry. Even if the starry-eyed fish possessed strong vitality, at this rate, it wouldn't last long.

In the blink of an eye, everyone entered a seaweed area. The seaweed there had broad leaves and were all third-rank monsters. They surged towards the crowd.
Everyone brandished their swords and blades, slicing through the water plants with a flurry of motion.
“Huh What place is this It looks a bit like an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling.”
After countless waterweeds were severed, the person who was looking saw a large reef cave appearing where the waterweeds had been broken. However, unlike the natural reef caves that Lu Xia Tian had encountered in Tongtian Lake before, this cave opening was obviously artificially excavated. Lu Xia Tian glanced at it briefly and quickly confirmed his thoughts. With his current level of understanding in formations, he could see signs of formation arrangements in this reef cave, but he could only see the general idea. He didn't know what specific formation it was or how to activate it.
The binding rope in his hand tightened again. This star-eyed fish actually leaped towards the cave entrance.
Lu Xia tian's face turned grim. Seeing that the Star-eyed Stone Fish was about to be killed, he didn't want any more complications. Even if it was the cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator, nothing was more important than recovering from his leg injuries.
Lu Xiaottian was just about to summon the earth puppet when the star-eyed fish, despite being blown apart with chunks of flesh and blood, surprisingly used its broken tail survival technique. It lashed its demonic rope, tearing off a layer of stone scales and flesh, but then it dragged its bloody, blurry tail into the cave.
“Didn't expect it, Lu Daoist actually has such formidable means.” The woman with the wooden staff looked at Lu Xia Tian in astonishment, as if she had only just recognized this person. She was hiding such a master beside her and she hadn't noticed it at all.
“Any means necessary, this Stargazer Fish got away.” After all, it concerned the old injury on his body. Lu Xiaoteng was not in a good mood at the moment, but after thinking about it, his state of mind quickly returned to normal. After all, although this Stargazer Fish's combat power wasn't strong, its ability to escape was truly formidable. Moreover, it was underwater; even if Lu Xiaoteng wanted to single-handedly kill this Stargazer Fish, it wouldn't be easy.

“It seems like the only option is to go into this grotto.” Left Sage stepped forward, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the stone cave in front of him. They had stumbled upon this place by chance, hidden beneath the lake, it was certainly undiscovered by other cultivators. If it was truly the remains of an ancient cultivator, even a couple of random treasures would be enough to sustain them for countless years.
"If that's the case, then what are we waiting for" At this moment, Huang Lao Gui's eyes also lit up.

"The appearance of this cave is quite peculiar. Even if it were an ancient cultivator's dwelling, there would likely be some restrictions in place. If one were to act carelessly, there could be unforeseen consequences," Zhao Yuanjun said cautiously, with a look of wisdom and maturity.ns. Instead, his eyes, sharp as blades, focused on You Yue Mo Zi. Judging from the reactions of Yao Wu, Ji Gui, and Jin Jia Shi Wang, the magic cultivation practiced by You Yue Mo Zi should be quite f...
