There must be something wrong with me-Chapter 595 - 228: Return

"You continue towards the target location."

Whew...

Facing ongoing astonishment from the trio.

Zhang Feng, after issuing an instruction, departed from the small boat and searched the distant waters quickly by flying.

The range here was rather large.

Splash—

The three leaders, surprised, quickly hurried to catch up with Zhang Feng.

Moreover, He held a Spiritual Energy Detector, capable of emitting a peculiar sound wave centered within a fifty-meter radius, used to explore underwater scenes three hundred meters deep.

If there was a massive structure filled with spiritual energy below, the detector would alert them.

This instrument was developed by their institution through the talisman technology, a simple piece of tech.

Compare to the real-world detectors that precisely modify ’superconductor talisman’—a significant contrast.

In reality, it wasn’t precise; it relied on ordinary materials without superconductors, achieving spiritual energy detection within a one-kilometer radius.

With superconductors, coupled with the spiritual sense base station of the virtual building.

The global coverage could be achieved.

If a cultivator committed a crime, it’s basically hard to hide.

Unless they concealed themselves in a deep mountain old forest without a base station, or hid very deep underground.

At least, they’d have to dig fifty meters deep, and it couldn’t be under a base station.

Digging must occur in the weak detection link between two base stations.

And now.

On the sea surface, as Zhang Feng explored, the leaders were also searching.

About an hour later.

They gathered at a seemingly mundane patch of the sea.

By this time, night had already fallen.

They had a slight meal.

Zhang Feng plunged into the water, opting not to waste spiritual energy to form a protective layer separating the nearby seawater.

Currently, Zhang Feng had a deep understanding of the Water Attribute, and with his Foundation Establishment realm, he could comfortably breathe underwater.

As long as it wasn’t the deep sea, with intense water pressure.

Even directly inhaling seawater into the lungs posed no problem.

Know that 100% Inner Strength seems to be operating through the entire body.

In reality, the source of Inner Strength is the five organs.

Zhang Feng’s current organ resilience is so tough, that not even gunshots could inflict damage.

In reality, his organs are akin to composite new tungsten steel, impervious even to sniper armor-piercing rounds.

Meanwhile.

With several splashes.

The leaders also plunged into the water, curiously examining the surroundings and stirring the sea with their hands.

They felt as though they had entered the water, feeling the coolness, yet could breathe freely.

For a moment, the various characteristics of mythical water beads began to surface in their minds.

"I’ve never seen water beads,"

Zhang Feng saw them pondering this matter and said, "but it’s similar to the principle of this talisman."

Finished talking.

Zhang Feng continued diving.

But diving was more akin to a ’thousand-pound plunge’ descent.

Zhang Feng maintained an upright position throughout.

Whoosh—

The leaders obediently swam, directing their gaze towards the pitch-black seabed.

They could not see anything within their vision.

However, as long as Zhang Taoist continued descending, they would obediently follow.

Thanks to the water-avoiding talisman.

Ten meters, a hundred meters, two hundred meters.

They continued diving, free of discomfort, with no sensation of compression or buoyancy.

Swimming was relatively relaxed, akin to walking normally.

As Zhang Feng saw the destination approaching, he looked up at the trio still swimming traditionally.

They were swim-diving, heads down.

"The water-avoiding talisman has another function." Zhang Feng calmly stated, "You don’t need to swim dive; by keeping your body upright, you can dive."

"Zhang Taoist..."

"Uh..."

The trio had nothing to say, pausing their swim.

They even considered asking if Zhang Taoist intentionally was teasing them like silly ducks.

They found this amusing yet couldn’t help feeling that perhaps Zhang Taoist really changed?

Truth be told, Zhang Feng was indeed teasing, with no other intentions, merely friends playing and having some fun together.

The clear path before Divinity Transformation, coupled with releasing emotions, granting Zhang Feng genuine relaxation.

Approaching the sea floor.

At a depth of three thousand meters.

Zhang Feng and others, according to the marked position on the Treasure Map, entered a hidden underwater cavern.

This tunnel was about half a mile long, descending at an angle.

After traversing through, they arrived at a different underwater cavern.

While still filled with seawater, illuminated by sea lights.

The leaders saw the sea floor flat with a large palace covered in algae, and their mouths gaped in surprise.

Because besides this palace, the surroundings were densely packed with graves.

Above there were many inscriptions not eroded by the seawater.

They examined them for a long time, finding a small portion belonged to deceased members of the Celestial Palace, while most to the Underworld.

Though many were unnamed, on the Underworld graves were inscriptions like ’Asura Path’, ’Heavenly Path’, etc.

In the Celestial Palace, there were names, yet none familiar.

Splash—

Among the graves and palace surroundings, small fish swam around.

The place was tranquil, devoid of voices, seemingly the Celestial Palace had been in decline for ages.

This stark silence and timelessness, coupled with such myth-like underwater architecture.

The intense contrast rendered them immensely shocked.
