"well!"
Yun Rusongfu dropped another white piece and sighed: "If a monk wants to break through to the deep dive stage, he must first become a deep diver."
"The process of becoming a deep diver is also the most dangerous part of the path of cultivation."
"It's indeed dangerous!" Li Zhuo dropped the sunspot and said, "If it succeeds, we can successfully break through to the deep dive stage."
"And if you don't succeed, and you can't even remember who you are, you will sink and become a deep diver forever."
"In short, everything depends on the fate of those six people!"
…
Time flies.
Chengsheng stayed in the fish-man village for a long time, so long that he forgot his own name and couldn't even remember what year it was today.
Not only that.
As time goes by, under the influence of the fish-man village, Chengsheng's appearance has become closer and closer to that of a fish-man.
Scales sprouted from his body and his head turned into that of a fish.
Now, he no longer needs to imitate other fish-men because he has become a fish-man himself.
Although Chengshuo is not in the sea, I can often hear the sound of rough waves coming from the sea.
The sound of waves is occasionally mixed with the sound of whales.
And since he could hear the sound of the waves, Chengshuo also discovered that the swamp near the fishman village began to look different.
The swamp around the fishman village turned into an ocean.
The fish-man village, surrounded by the ocean, has completely become an isolated island.
Every time I stand on the coast, a thought will come to my mind unconsciously:
He wanted to jump into the sea.
Just like when a person is born, he knows how to drink water and breathe.
After becoming a fish-man, he instinctively knew one thing: as long as he jumped into the sea and dived deep into the seabed, he could get closer to Dagon, the father of the fish-men.
And if you get close to Father God Dagon, you can gain more powerful power and even gain eternal life.
"survive!"
Outside the fishman village.
Coastside.
Just when he was in a dilemma about his life and was considering whether to dive into the depths of the sea, a very familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
The word 'Chenghuo' awakened the memory that Chenghuo had hidden deep in his mind. At this moment, he remembered that his original name was Chenghuo.
The awakened memory caused a squirming movement on the surface of the living body.
His fish-like head was slowly changing to look like a human.
But the change didn't last long.
Soon, a look of determination appeared in Chenghuo's eyes again. He looked at the sea, and once again longed in his heart to get close to the fish-man's father, Dagon.
He wanted to gain Dagon's power and live forever.
With this firm belief, Cheng Huo turned around and saw a short fishman looking at him.
He thought for a long time and asked uncertainly: "Are you Zhong Ran?"
"My name is Zhong Ran?" The short fish-man was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly realized: "It seems to be true!"
The moment he said these words, Zhong Ran's body surface also began to squirm, and began to change into a human appearance.
But soon, the change stopped.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter who I am!"
Zhong Ran also doesn't worry about what his previous name was.
Like Cheng Sheng, she just wants to dive into the deep sea and gain the power from the fish-man father god Dagon that can make people immortal.
"Shengsheng, do you want to dive into the sea?" Thinking like this, Zhong Ran asked subconsciously.
"Um."
Chengshuo said with firm eyes: "Compared to immortality, everything in this world is unimportant, even if you are no longer a human being, it doesn't matter."
"I feel the same way." Hearing Chenghuo express his feelings, Zhong Ran felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.
She walked straight to Chenghuo, looked at the sea, and said with blazing eyes: "Are you dancing? If you dance, I will dance too!"
"Let's go!" Cheng Sheng stopped talking nonsense and jumped into the sea decisively.
Zhong Ran hesitated for a few seconds and followed closely.
As a fishman, Chengsheng quickly adapted to the underwater environment not long after jumping into the sea.
Not only can he clearly hear all the sounds in the water, but he can even see everything in the water clearly.
Fish, aquatic plants, corals
The sound of ocean waves that originally reached Chengli's ears has now transformed into the sound of ocean currents caused by the flow of sea water after diving into the deep sea.
Silent, distant, and with an inexplicable sense of fear.
As it continued to sink, Chengsheng could clearly feel that the originally dark and lightless water gradually became brighter.
This gave him a realization: through deep diving, he gained the ability to see at night.
Continuing to sink, Chengshuo felt that the density of his muscles was increasing, and his body was being strengthened under the tremendous pressure brought by the sea water.
Continue to sink.
When we reached about 500 meters underwater, there were no green leaves around, and the fish around us began to look strange.
This scene made Chengshuo couldn't help but recall the series of scenes he saw when he dived into the deep pool at the bottom of the Yinsi Stream.
After reaching this depth, the surviving eyes can already see in complete darkness.
His muscle density has also been further improved.
Continue to sink.
By about a thousand meters underwater, the number of creatures in the water has become almost negligible.
But occasionally you can still see some big guys.
For example, the giant squid, which is bright red and more than ten meters long, and its mortal enemy, the sperm whale.
At this time of survival, he has been able to completely ignore the huge pressure of sea water and can survive underwater without even breathing.
After reaching this depth, survival has basically broken away from the category of "human".
A long time passed like this.
Chengsheng had unknowingly dived to a depth of more than 3,000 meters under the sea.
The water temperature here starts to get very cold and close to freezing point.
In order to adapt to such a harsh underwater environment, the living body has evolved again and has the ability to ignore temperature changes around it.
Just like Yun Rusong and Li Zhuo playing chess on the top of the snow mountain.
He can also stay in an environment of dozens of degrees below zero and play chess with others without feeling any discomfort.
At the same time, it can also be comfortable in high temperature environments of dozens of degrees.
And because of the huge water pressure, the surviving body has evolved again. His body has been able to inadvertently release the powerful aura unique to monks in the deep dive stage.
…
At the same time.
Fishman Village, the residence of Elder Catfish.
"Great Elder, it's done!"
inside the house.
In the distance, Elder Catfish heard the sound of the fishman Huabei.
He said with a hint of excitement in his tone: "Of the five monks who came to our village, two of them will become deep divers!"
"So fast?"
Elder Catfish was stunned when he heard this.
He looked around and said with great joy: "Quick, take me there immediately to have a look!"
After hearing this, the guards around Elder Catfish skillfully carried Elder Catfish onto a stretcher.
Judging from the material of the stretcher, it should be made of reeds.
But for some reason it is unusually tough, even worse than gold and iron.
For the murlocs in the murloc village, it seems to be a very important thing to have a new murloc called a "deep diver" by the monks.
So when Elder Catfish left the house on a stretcher, other fish people in the village also gathered around him.
Hundreds of murlocs gathered into a large troop, and Wu Yangyang soon arrived at the location of Chenghuo and Zhong Ran.
At this moment, Chengshuo and Zhong Ran were sitting cross-legged on the edge of the fish-man village.
Affected by some unknown mysterious force, Cheng Sheng and Zhong Ran's whole bodies were soaked in sea water, and the corners of their clothes were still dripping.
This water collected in a small puddle on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Elder Catfish winked at Yuren Huabei.
The latter understood what he meant, and hurriedly came to Chenghuo and Zhong Ran to smell it. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "It's sea water, and judging from the temperature, it has already dived to a depth of at least more than three thousand meters!"
"More than three thousand meters!!"
After hearing the words 'more than three thousand meters', all the fish people around were in an uproar. It seemed that it was extremely rare to dive more than three thousand meters underwater during a breakthrough.
And it's not just fish people.
Elder Catfish, who had seen such a scene, also looked shocked and said in disbelief: "You can actually dive to more than three thousand meters!"
"As a family of deep divers, the deeper we dive, the closer we get to Father God Dagon."
"But at the same time, being close to Father God Dagon can also make us feel a wave of indescribable terror."
"So, only those who can resist the fear in their hearts can dive into deeper waters as much as possible and gain more power."
As Elder Catfish said, he suddenly looked at Chengshuo and praised: "This kid can dive to more than three thousand meters underwater in one breath, which is enough to prove that he is a tough-minded person!"
In fact, it’s not just survival.
At this moment, Zhong Ran had already dived to a depth of nearly two thousand meters underwater.
This achievement can be regarded as the best among the many murlocs in the murloc village.
For a time, all the fish people looked at Chengshuo and Zhong Ran with complex looks including envy, admiration and even jealousy.
…
The junction between Daliang Kingdom and the Far North.
On the top of the snow-capped mountains.
"Actually, there is one thing I quite admire about Brother Li." Yun Rusong used the flying sword in his hand to cut off a large piece of white bear meat and put it on the campfire shelf to roast patiently.
"Oh?" Li Zhuo sprinkled some salt and spices on the white bear meat and asked curiously: "Brother Yun, do you sometimes admire others?"
"Ah,"
Yun Rusong chuckled and said, "Brother Li, how did you come up with the idea of using 'madness' to suppress 'fear'?"
"Rather than saying it's madness, it's more accurate to say it's 'obsession'."
Li Zhuo said: "The six people I'm looking for are either extremely obsessed with power and higher cultivation, or they have a strong desire for control, or they pursue immortality."
"Anyway, they are more or less paranoid."
"In this way, when they pursue the things they are obsessed with and break through the deep dive period, they can easily overcome the fear brought by Dagon, the father of the deep divers."
"Are you obsessed?" Yun Rusong praised: "I have to say, Brother Li, this idea of yours is really a masterstroke!"
"It is indeed a masterful skill!" Li Zhuo said with emotion: "The obsession in people's hearts is one of the driving forces that drives a person to do things."
"Obsession can make people ignore hard work, fear, trouble, and cost, and sacrifice everything to achieve their goals."
"It is precisely because of this that I took those monks to the Floating Island Illusion Array to test whether they have any obsession and whether they have any mental problems."
"With obsession, when you are deep diving, when you are close to Father God Dagon, you can easily dive deeper into the sea."
"High, it's really high!" Yunru praised it before taking down the hot wine hanging on the campfire shelf.
His hands came into contact with the wine pot that was heated by the fire, but he did not show any discomfort. Instead, he smiled and said to Li Zhuo: "Come on, Brother Li, let me toast you!"
"Speaking of which, you are really good at making up things like how you can break through by getting the 'Woo' mark, and how you come to the secret realm of Tianshan just to speed up your cultivation progress."
"You coaxed and lied, and after talking so much, you finally tricked them into going to the deep diver village, and took the risk to break through and become deep dive monks."
"I have to say, Brother Li, you are really good at making up stories!"
"It can't be considered as lying to them." Li Zhuo poured a large sip of hot wine into his mouth and said: "Although the 'Wu Si' mark has little to do with breakthroughs, it is indeed very useful for monks. It’s not a bad thing if you get it.”
"Besides, when a person doesn't know anything, there will be no 'fear' in his heart."
"And this is the real reason why I didn't tell those six people the real secret of breaking through the deep dive period."
"If they had known in advance that the closer they were to Dagon, the father of the deep divers, the greater the fear they would feel, then they would feel even more terrified."
"So we have to hide it from those six people."
"After all, the ignorant are fearless!"
"That's true!" Yun Rusong nodded and said, "Anyway, everything you and I do is really for those six people to break through as soon as possible."
"As for the process, even if I lied a little, it was all for their own good!"
"It's not for them." Li Zhuo smiled bitterly and said righteously, "Actually, everything I did was mainly for the people of Daliang."
After saying that, he raised the wine bottle again and said boldly: "Come on, drink! Why do you care so much!"
"Drink!" Yun Rusong also raised the wine bottle.
…
Tianshan secret realm.
Outside the fishman village, at the bottom of the deep sea.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When he dived to a certain depth, Chengshuo suddenly felt that as his physique continued to strengthen, he suddenly had the feeling that he was changing from quantitative to qualitative changes.
His physical strength made a qualitative leap and was essentially sublimated at this moment.
Survival breakthrough.
His physical body has broken through to the point where it is comparable to the strength of a monk in the deep dive stage. Just like those fishmen in the fishman village.
At this time, Chengsheng had dived to a depth of more than 5,000 meters underwater.
After reaching this depth, a strange thought vaguely appeared in his mind: He could not continue diving, otherwise, he would wake up a terrifying existence on the bottom of the sea.
Although he has forgotten most of his memories after becoming a fishman, he has not forgotten the techniques and moves he knew.
For example, the method of summoning 'Tien Niu' and 'Yuan Xiujie'
seabed.
Cheng Sheng instinctively waved his hand, summoned 'Tieniu' and 'Yuan Xiujie', and using the characteristics of the fish-men, he spoke underwater: "Go down and see what is hidden deeper in the water. "
