Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048

Fang Ping pointed at the massive vortex; as soon as the water approached, it began to swirl within.

Logically speaking, the water inside the vortex should be moving rapidly, but in the eyes of Chen Hai and the others, the vortex spun as sluggishly as a snail.

Such a form of vortex was something that neither Chen Hai nor the other two had ever encountered before.

Even more unbelievable was that from the edge of the vortex to its center, there was a gradient effect, noticeably brightening bit by bit.

In this pitch-black seawater, even the faintest light source was as conspicuous as a firefly in the night.

Chen Hai, Ancestor Kugu, and Fang Ping traveled for a while until they discovered this location. The main reason was that the bottom of the submarine crack was somewhat uneven, and the area where the great vortex was located was at a very low point, almost within a depression.

"No need to look any further; this is indeed the entrance to the Land of Slumber!"

"As long as you step into the brightest point at the center, you’ll naturally be transported inside, into the Land of Slumber."

An abrupt voice suddenly emerged, reaching Chen Hai’s ears.

Following the direction of the sound, the few turned their gazes.

Above the depressed area where the vortex was located, six or seven people were already sitting cross-legged.

It seemed these people had arrived here a step earlier than Chen Hai and the others.

Despite the strength of Chen Hai, Ancestor Kugu, and the others, they had not immediately sensed their presence mainly because their attention had been drawn to the vortex in the sea eye.

"Lu Yingtian, White Head Demon Venerate, Holy Venerate Tianya..."

"I thought, who could have arrived here before us, and it turns out it’s you folks!"

"Since it’s confirmed that this is the entrance to the Land of Slumber, why is everyone waiting here and no one willing to take the initiative to try?"

Chen Hai was inexperienced and had never interacted with other Quasi-Saints on the same level.

As he looked at the people near the sea eye vortex, he recognized no one.

However, Fang Ping, who was with him, was a smooth and sociable person.

When he saw the people who had just spoken, he smiled broadly, laughed, and hurriedly went to greet them.

"Come, come, Black Water Brother, Kugu Brother, let me introduce you..."

Acting overly familiar, after introducing Chen Hai and Ancestor Kugu, he further introduced the ones sitting above the sea eye vortex.

The "Black Water Brother" he mentioned naturally referred to Chen Hai.

After all, as the founding ancestor of the Black Water Lineage, he was referred to as the Black Water Ancestor by outsiders.

While journeying together with Fang Ping and Ancestor Kugu, when Chen Hai introduced himself, he naturally used this title without directly revealing his true name to them.

"Fellow Taoists, though the bottom of this submarine crack is only slightly noticeable here, how can you be certain that this is indeed the entrance to the Land of Slumber?"

The person who raised this doubt was none other than Ancestor Kugu.

Chen Hai actually also wanted to ask the same question, but Kugu beat him to it.

Seeing this, he chuckled calmly and cast a glance at Lu Yingtian and the others on the other side.

This question was not surprising and made sense.

After all, Lu Yingtian, White Head Demon Venerate, and the others had clearly arrived here long before.

If they harbored malicious intent and set up a major trap here to destroy later arrivals, given their divine skills and strength, creating a deceptive submarine vortex wouldn’t be too difficult.

The question from Supreme Kugu and Chen Hai to Lu Yingtian’s group was naturally a precautionary measure, just in case.

Lu Yingtian, the person in question, was a middle-aged scholar gently fanning with a folding fan. Fınd the newest release on novel·fıre·net

Deep beneath the Endless Sea, surrounded by icy and bone-chilling seawater, it was uncertain what he was fanning.

Perhaps it was to maintain his graceful demeanor, or perhaps it was purely for style.

In any case, Chen Hai was somewhat displeased with his behavior.

However, Chen Hai was a benign and righteous person who kept his dissatisfaction to himself.

As long as Lu Yingtian bore no ill will or intentions towards him, even if he posed until struck by lightning, Chen Hai would pretend not to see it.

"Everyone, among those Primordial Chaos Great Powers who descended from Outer Heaven on the Mysterious Turtle’s back in that great hall, one of them is Taoist Lord Tianxie."

"Before he achieved the Primordial Chaos, he once cultivated under my sect, and despite his high status now, he still remembers those past ties."

"To be frank, the information concerning the entrance to the Land of Slumber was something he proactively informed me of before I agreed to come here."

"As for what’s inside the Land of Slumber, those Primordial Chaos Great Powers might not know much, but they have already thoroughly investigated this entrance."

"Unless Taoist Lord Tianxie’s explorations were wrong, this must undoubtedly be the entrance we are seeking!"

Despite being questioned by Ancestor Kugu and Chen Hai, Lu Yingtian remained composed.

He continued gently fanning himself, maintaining a sunny and refreshing smile, and said, "Inside the Land of Slumber, not only us, even those Primordial Chaos Great Powers know nothing about it."

"The unknown often comes with great risks, and we lingered here, not rushing in because we wanted to gather more fellow Taoists first before entering together."

"Though this can’t completely eliminate risks, at least as a large group, facing potential unknown dangers would be easier, wouldn’t it?"

Lu Yingtian paused his discourse here, gazing humorously at Chen Hai and Supreme Kugu.

Apparently, he wanted to see what their reaction would be after he spoke.

Unfortunately, scrutinizing them, he couldn’t decipher anything from their expressions.

After all, Ancestor Kugu’s head was purely skeletal with no flesh or blood, revealing nothing.

As for Chen Hai, after hearing the explanation, he merely nodded and casually replied, "So that’s how it is."

His face was usually expressionless, but his eyes were the opposite, seemingly filled with countless emotions.

Though Lu Yingtian tried to observe his reaction, staring too long into those eyes almost entranced him had he not quickly diverted his gaze.
