Chapter 381 Cultivation techniques
Samsara Online
After jumping into the whirlpool of water, Xie Feng's body was immediately pulled into the depths of the ocean. He felt as if he was on a kind of water slide as he could clearly feel his body moving not only downward, but also moving further into the center of the ocean, pulling him further away from the coastline.
If before he was five kilometers from the shore, in a matter of seconds he had been dragged at least another two kilometers deeper.
The view was breathtaking, to say the least. Xie Feng saw all sorts of sea creatures and strange mutant plants roaming around the vicinity of the whirlpool. However, none of these monsters came too close to the water whirlpool; they were clearly avoiding it on purpose as if they were afraid of something.
What made Xie Feng let out a sigh of relief was that even though he was inside a whirlpool of water and his body was being dragged all over the place in irregular patterns, he could still breathe. It was too surprising for him to realize that even when he was surrounded by water, he could still breathe normally as if he was on dry land and not swimming with the fishes.
However, Xie Feng accepted it rather quickly. After all, Samsara world was a world filled with magic and mysteries. Breathing underwater didn't seem to be too surprising if one thought carefully.
Who knows, it might even be a hidden function of the Pearl of Frozen Water. Although it was currently recharging its energy after releasing all its power to cast the forbidden spell Ice Apocalypse, its passives were still present.
After being dragged around like a rag doll by the whirlpool of water for about half an hour and just as Xie Feng was starting to feel a little dizzy, he finally arrived at his destination.
Thud!
As if a giant monster expelled him from its stomach after opening its big mouth, Xie Feng was ejected from the water whirlpool and fell to the ground on his butt. Next to him, several small fish of all kinds of colors had been expelled by the whirlpool. Apparently, these small sea lives were forcibly dragged away by getting too close to the whirlpool and were not escaped their fate.
"Truly without finesse..."
Xie Feng, his hair soaked, stood up and grumbled a little as he looked at his surroundings.
Above his head was what appeared to be an invisible barrier as the surrounding water was visible but could not penetrate inward; as if a wall was holding it in place. There were also some sharks and other species casually swimming around.
Xie Feng even saw a large squid over five hundred meters tall catching some huge eels, slaughtering them with its giant tentacles. However, even this huge squid, which was clearly a powerful boss, did not dare to get too close to the dome.
The area surrounded by the dome was not that large in comparison, only about two or three hundred meters around and about four hundred meters high. The ground was surprisingly full of life, with deep green grasses, some gently swaying flowers, and other types of small plants. There was only one grotesque construction that made the natural scene a bit strange, but it did not look out of place.
This construction was a majestic silver-colored tower. The tower was about three or four hundred meters high, practically touching the top of the dome. The tower had no windows and there was only a large double door over a hundred meters high.
Xie Feng couldn't help but slowly approach it, still keeping his guard up just in case.
"So this is the legendary Heaven of Samsara...?" He muttered with his eyes shining. Right before him was the most dangerous place on the Adastreia Continent where legend said, the most terrifying and dangerous monsters were sealed in. It was said that even a level five monster could compare to level fifteen or even level twenty monsters in terms of its terror.
Apparently, Goddess Mei Hen sealed countless of these dangerous creatures here before strangely disappearing from everyone's sight never to show herself again even to this day.
It was precisely because of everything he had heard about it that Xie Feng felt a bit excited. Besides, after so much effort, after so much time spent and countless dangers, he had finally arrived at this place. Only he knew how hard he worked to get here.
"Oh? What is this?" Xie Feng suddenly noticed something strange as he approached closer to the tower and frowned slightly as he moved a little closer.
There, carved into the walls, were countless strange writings and runes. All of these runes looked deep and mysterious but as strange as it was, Xie Feng could somehow understand what it said there and managed to arrange them to form different words.
"Golden Dragon Manual... Upon reaching the peak of this cultivation technique, one will have a body as strong as that of a true dragon emperor."
"Eternal Ice Manual... When mastered to the top, that person will be able to freeze everything and their enemies will not be able to escape for all eternity."
"Void-Cutting Sword Manual... At the peak of this technique, a single slash can split space in two, ignoring enemy defenses."
"Heavenly Frost Fist Manual..."
"Nine Flashes of Lightning Manual..."
...
The more he read, the more Xie Feng was amazed and his gaze became brighter and brighter.
So many powerful techniques!
Even if these techniques didn't look as powerful as his Calamity Emperor Art, just based on his instinct Xie Feng knew that each of these strange writings had the ability to turn a normal human into a terrifying existence as long as given enough time!
But the most terrifying thing was that even if one didn't have enough aptitude, he or she could still come to have a power similar to that of the patriarchs of the five major families!
Each of the five patriarchs had enough power to crush cities, but right in front of Xie Feng's eyes were writings capable of creating armies!
"Such a treasure...! There really is such a treasure here under the ocean!" Xie Feng's eyes flashed brightly and he quickly circled the tower looking for something.
"Angel of the Infinite Manual.... The person who cultivates this technique to the top will have the ability to repel all attacks, heal any wounds or diseases, and even repel death. If the person who cultivates this technique possesses a Spirit Root of Light attribute, his/her attacks will be as terrifying as those of a demon."
"Immortal Charm Manual.... Able to enchant the hearts of all living beings with a single glance and enslave their souls for all eternity. Possesses powerful spiritual attacks and if the person cultivating this technique possesses a Spirit Root of Darkness attribute, he or she can make a puppet absorb all his or her wounds in the blink of an eye."
...
Xie Feng spent a total of ten hours sitting in front of the tower without moving. His gaze was focused and his eyes seemed lost somewhere. In fact, he hadn't even realized that it was currently already 2 o'clock in the afternoon and he hadn't even left for lunch.
When he stood up, coming out of the trance he was in, he almost lost his mind. To him, those ten hours felt like a minute or two had passed at most.
"Still, it was worth it." A smile appeared on his handsome face as he gazed at the tower with shining eyes.
In those ten hours, he managed to grasp different techniques that perfectly adhered to Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Mu Wuying. As for Shen Xinya, he searched for a long time before he found a technique not inferior to the previous ones.
All these techniques were only slightly inferior to his Calamity Emperor Art and if the girls tried hard, in a short time they would be able to have a power similar to his before breaking through the atmosphere. By then, they would become existences only below the false Gods in this world!
Humming with his guard completely crawling on the floor due to the good mood as well as the calm atmosphere, Xie Feng casually strutted towards the entrance of the tower.
Without any danger, the doors opened wide, allowing him to enter without any impediments. After Xie Feng entered, the doors closed silently without making any sound.
What Xie Feng did not notice was that when he entered, the Ring of the God of Destruction on his right hand lit up slightly before dimming again and returning to normal.
Twenty minutes after Xie Feng had left the place, another living being appeared there.
Hai Wang had hesitated for half a day whether he should enter the water whirlpool and chase after his hated enemy or not. In the end, he could not resist the hatred in his heart and took the risk.
Unfortunately, when he had just stepped on the ground of the place, something different from what happened to Xie Feng greeted the East Sea King. A bolt of lightning flashed out from the tower and struck Hai Wang's body hard, sending him flying backward, ejecting him out of the dome.
Hai Wang's body flew for ten kilometers before coming to a stop as a terrifying figure of damage floating above his head.
-50.000.000!
Hai Wang broke out in cold sweat and quickly fled to his palace at the bottom of the sea. To recover from such a loss, along with the damage Xie Feng had dealt to him earlier, he would have to spend about a year, letting his HP slowly rise.
