Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1084 - 195:

He hoped that up above would be shore, and not still filled with black water after reaching the top.

As he ascended, the water ripples above gave clear feedback of emptiness, his luck was good.

"Splash..."

Li Zhiyuan surfaced, the emerald luster reappeared, after staying underwater for a while, he still somewhat missed this light pollution.

However, despite reaching the shore, the emerald rock wall was smooth and round, and there was a significant height difference between the shore platform and the water surface, without leverage points, even an adult couldn't climb up from here.

Li Zhiyuan lightly waved his right palm, ceramic crystal ribbons floated out, the young man's eyes focused, swiftly forming arrays continuously.

Each array could only last a very short time before dissipating, but this was enough for the young man to climb, each ascent involved old leverage points disappearing and new ones appearing, the frequency was mastered perfectly.

Finally, Li Zhiyuan climbed onto the shore, put down his backpack, and began to adjust his breath.

Previously, he could have simply condensed the arrays step by step, allowing himself to climb up like walking on stairs.

But compared to this leisurely ease, Li Zhiyuan preferred to save some blood for himself.

If there was a need to show off for a special occasion, it would be understandable, but there was no one around here, so why bother putting on an unnecessary show?

Besides, Li Zhiyuan felt a slight sense of accomplishment rising in him.

Even though he wasn't an adult, nor had he practiced martial arts, he still relied on his own strength to traverse this turbulent current and successfully reach the shore.

If he had practiced martial arts, this wouldn't have been too difficult, thus there wouldn't be much sense of accomplishment.

He cherished and nurtured this feeling while adjusting his breath.

Unfortunately, he couldn't maintain this feeling for long, it soon disappeared.

But the emotional sparks that burst forth from time to time were indeed interesting, once he cured his illness, he might not have this feeling again.

Standing up, Li Zhiyuan took out a long candle from his bag, first smeared the patterns with red seal ink, then used talisman paper to ignite it.

Finally, he stood at the edge of the shore, holding the long candle with his left hand, and broke it at a point below the candle flame with his right hand, tossing it onto the water surface, then broke it again and tossed it...

The area in front of him on the water surface was lit up like a string of simple lotus lanterns, floating and sinking yet responding to each other, not scattered, staying fixed in that area.

The last piece was placed on the shore by Li Zhiyuan, his fingertip lightly touching the flame, turning it from yellow to ethereal white.

This was a ritual for summoning souls, simplified by the young man to use here as a road marker for his companions.

After doing this, Li Zhiyuan finally had the energy to observe the surrounding environment.

The most eye-catching was the huge depression in the central area, a massive swirling vortex.

The size of the vortex kept fluctuating, causing the water level to change accordingly, when the water level lowered to a certain point, a long white glow appeared in the distance, stark against the surrounding emerald light.

Li Zhiyuan took the opportunity during three water level drops to observe the white glow, resembling a giant archway, with a long walkway of white jade behind it.

Though he couldn't see clearly from afar, he could already feel a sense of grandeur and majesty.

To say it resembled an Immortal Palace would not be an exaggeration.

It's just unclear if only the archway portion was well built, or if it actually connected to some Immortal Palace behind it.

At this moment, sounds came from the water ahead.

Among the candle lanterns, A Yuan's figure emerged, carrying Yu Miaomiao in his arms.

Her complexion turned even paler as she had fallen unconscious.

The young man flipped his left hand, the copper coin sword in hand, right hand blood mist condensed at his fingertips, ready to form skill at any moment.

Seeing only Li Zhiyuan on the shore, A Yuan's eyes showed a hint of delight mixed with ferocity.

In that instant, he intended to act, believing that despite his poor condition, he could kill the young man without much trouble.

The next moment, he began running in the water, gradually emerging from the water surface, eventually stepping on the water to walk, finally leaping onto the shore with a push.

Even Li Zhiyuan had to admit that this guy's physique was truly unimaginable, currently Run Sheng couldn't compare with him in this aspect.

His shoes were likely lost underwater, revealing his feet covered in damp yellow fur, long feet instinctively arching to grip the ground upon landing.

A Yuan growled from his throat, like a beast scraping its hooves before charging.

Then, his eyes underwent a change.

A sense of time's passing emerged.

Li Zhiyuan knew A Yuan was once again controlled by the teacher.

After neutralizing all stress responses, A Yuan sat down, placing Yu Miaomiao beside him, one hand gently covering the girl's face.

This was to prevent the comatose girl from suddenly waking up and hearing the conversation to follow.

Li Zhiyuan put away the copper coin sword, recollected the blood mist in his palm.

Another major reason for conserving his blood energy was that upon returning, as soon as Run Sheng saw his pale face, he would make him a red sugar egg soup and stand by, watching him eat every bite with a brotherly gaze.

Li Zhiyuan sat down as well, saying to A Yuan, "Shall we talk?"

A Yuan extended a finger to his throat, accompanied by trembling fingertips, voice followed.

"Alright, let's talk."
