Chapter 964: Stuck

The snowy path looked like an illusion. Could they really get to the pirates' boat using that path?

They were skeptical and hesitated.

"If you don't go, I'll cancel the spell and you'll die." said Lin Pheng coldly when he saw that the crowd was hesitating.

If they didn't get on that boat, they would die.

"Let me try." said someone stepping on the snowy path. That person felt extremely cold but still he looked fine and happy. He realized that the Qi of the Huang Sea wasn't affecting him. After all, it was it's own world.

That person arrived on the boat and left the illusion.

"boom, boom!" People suddenly starting running frantically towards the pirates' boat. They could safely get to the boat thanks to Lin Pheng's snowy path.

"Hurry up!" said Lin Pheng to Tang You You and his friends when he saw people weren't hesitating anymore.

"Hurry up!" shouted Lin Pheng furiously. Some people grinded their teeth and said, "See you in Ba Huang!"

A few more people walked onto the snowy path, followed by many others.

"Eh?" "The pirates looked at Lin Pheng and frowned. A trivial cultivator of the second Tian Qi layer knew illusion spells? That guy was interesting!

"Interesting, little boy, get on the boat as well." one of the pirates told Lin Pheng.

The pirates were interested in Lin Pheng, maybe he had great treasures.

Suddenly, though, the snowy path suddenly changed and was now leading inside the Huang Sea.

"Little boy, what are you doing?" asked a pirate coldly to Lin Pheng.

Lin Pheng didn't say anything and ran into the snowy tunnel which ran into the Huang Sea.

"What are you doing?" the Zun cultivator's face changed drastically. He raised both hands and released magnetic energies to try and make Lin Pheng come to him. But Lin Pheng was now in the Huang Sea. Huge waves appeared as Lin Pheng disappeared into the depths of the sea.

"Lin Pheng!" shouted Tang You You whose face turned deathly pale. Her heart hurt. Lin Pheng had jumped into the sea and hadn't followed them.

"Don't worry. Lin Pheng told us we would meet him in Ba Huang, but he certainly has a long way to get there on his own." said Jun Mo Xi looking at the inauspicious waves of the Huang Sea as if trying to cheer himself up.

That terrifying sea could destroy abstruse energies and Lin Pheng was inside. What was going to happen?

They still felt sad. Could a cultivator of the second Tian Qi layer survive in that sea?

"What a strange little boy, he doesn't even care about his own life!" said the Zun cultivator looking at the sea. He hadn't expected Lin Pheng to kill himself.

Lin Pheng was in the sea now and could clearly see what was going on around him. The Qi of the Huang Sea was emitting extremely loud and ferocious sounds. Many dead spirits were probably coming to kill him.

The snowy tunnel was slowly getting corroded by the Qi of the Huang Sea.

But a bright light flashed and Qiong Qi appeared.

"Yan Di, we're in the depths of the Huang Sea, do you know how we can survive?" asked Lin Pheng.

Qiong Qi pulled a long face and spat out Qi from frustration.

"You idiot, that sea used to be a battlefield in the the past. Even emperors can't necessarily survive in here." said Qiong Qi. Lin Pheng was surprised. It wasn't guaranteed that emperors could survive in here either?

"It's useless to shout at me now. You need to hurry and find a solution because I can't hold on much longer." said Lin Pheng. Lin Pheng had actually dived into that sea for two reasons, the first one was his Jade Emperor's palace. If he had no choice, he would go into the palace and practice cultivation there. He would then be able to come out after a few years. That wasn't the most desirable solution though.

The second reason was Qiong Qi. He knew many skills and techniques and might know how to save him.

"You want to exhaust me to death, don't you!" said Qiong Qi to Lin Pheng. Then, he said, "Tell me what's going on up on the surface."

"We met some pirates, they attacked our abstruse energy protection layers and the dangerous Qi of the Huang Sea penetrated into the boat. They wanted to capture a girl." said Lin Pheng to Qiong Qi hastily.

"Give me some more of your abstruse crystals. The rest is in the hands of fate." said Qiong Qi. Lin Pheng gave all his abstruse crystals Qiong Qi. He had none left now.

Qiong Qi started drawing marks around them, very clear and distinct marks. He was using the strength of the abstruse crystals, but he was still too weak. He couldn't draw those marks relying on his own strength yet.

Very quickly, a light appeared and turned into a tunnel.

However, Qiong Qi didn't stop. He continued using all the crystals. Inside the snowy tunnel, a new way appeared.

"Come." shouted Qiong Qi to Lin Pheng. Lin Pheng followed him into the light tunnel. He was wondering what Qiong Qi had done.

"You can walk back and forth in that tunnel, all we can hope for now is to encounter a boat. That tunnel can neither take you out of the sea nor to Ba Huang. Everything depends on luck." said Qiong Qi. Lin Pheng was stupid sometimes, he jumped into the sea, did he want to die?

"OK, hope we'll be lucky." said Lin Pheng. Qiong Qi was so annoyed. Lin Pheng remained calm and indifferent.

Lin Pheng had Qiong Qi go back into the animal tower and then stopped using his snowy illusion spell. He started walking back and forth in the tunnel made of abstruse energies.

Lin Pheng couldn't breathe properly because of the thickness of the abstruse energies. He walked back and forth for a long time until rumbling sounds spread in the air. He then made the tunnel go higher up to the surface. That way, he would have more chances to be noticed.

The Qi of the sea kept corroding the tunnel but couldn't reach Lin Pheng yet. Lin Pheng looked around, he felt so small.

"I hope I will be lucky." whispered Lin Pheng. There were three more months before the beginning of Emperor Shi and Emperor Yu's recruitment process. Lin Pheng hoped his friends could manage to leave the Island of the Nine Dragons and that he could safely get out.

The sea was extremely vast and Lin Pheng was all alone there. Luckily, there was no storm, otherwise, the tunnel wouldn't be able to protect him for much longer.
