Strange Immaculate Sea

"Wow!"

"So comfortable!"

"Big bro, it's really amazing in here."

"Don’t you want to come in?"

At first, Yi Tuo was carrying Chen Chang'an and the others across the sea, but once they actually entered the water, Yi Tuo discovered that soaking in this seawater gave an inexplicably pleasant sensation.

Soon after, Da Huang and Little Earthworm couldn’t resist their curiosity and jumped in as well.

Now, the three of them were happily swimming around in the Wugu Sea.

"Is it really that comfortable?"

"What does it feel like?" Chen Chang'an asked curiously.

"Feel like?"

"It’s hard to describe!"

"Big bro, you should just come down and experience it yourself."

"Yeah, foster father, it’s seriously so nice. Come join us!"

Chen Chang'an frowned slightly, carefully observing Da Huang and Little Earthworm. He didn’t think they were lying to trick him into the water.

Could it be that the Wugu Sea truly had some mystical properties?

Or was it because the three of them weren’t pure-hearted enough, which made them feel something different?

Someone as pure-hearted as himself probably wouldn’t feel much even if he went in, right?

"Forget it."

"I won’t go in. My heart is already pure enough."

Huh?

Damn!

Big bro, we’re sharing this with you, and you’re just showing off now?

You’re pure?

Where exactly are you pure?

"Big bro!"

"Can’t you have a little self-awareness?"

"It’s seriously so comfortable in here."

"If you don’t come in, you’re the one missing out."

"Honestly, it’s even better than visiting a brothel," Da Huang said excitedly.

Better than a brothel?

But you’ve never actually enjoyed a brothel, have you?

"Ah, fine."

"Since you’re all so enthusiastic, I’ll give it a try."

Chen Chang'an leaped into the Wugu Sea. The moment he submerged, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

"It really is comfortable!"

"There seems to be… some kind of unique energy here."

"What exactly is…"

What kind of energy was this?

Why did it feel so incredibly pleasant? Chen Chang'an couldn’t quite put it into words.

It was as if he was wrapped in love and warmth, creating a deep, soothing sensation from within.

No wonder Da Huang and the others didn’t want to come out—it really was this amazing.

"Big bro, see? I wasn’t lying."

"It’s seriously nice here, unbelievably nice."

"It’s like… being held in a mother’s embrace," Da Huang said with a grin.

Whether it felt like a mother’s embrace or not, Chen Chang'an couldn’t say, but one thing was certain—the Wugu Sea was definitely unusual.

Moreover, Chen Chang'an had already sensed that there were no lifeforms in the Wugu Sea.

How could such a comfortable place have no living creatures?

Wasn’t that contradictory?

"How big is the Wugu Sea?"

"How long will it take us to cross it?" Chen Chang'an asked.

"Well… at our current speed, at least half a year."

"If we hurry, maybe one or two months should be enough," Little Earthworm replied after some thought.

One or two months?

Chen Chang'an had a nagging feeling that something was off about the Wugu Sea, but he couldn’t pinpoint what.

Just as he was about to tell them to stop playing around and focus on traveling, his expression suddenly shifted.

He seemed to detect a faint presence, but it disappeared almost instantly.

At the same time, Da Huang and Little Earthworm also tensed up, having sensed the same thing.

"You felt it too?"

"Yeah, we did."

"But it vanished too quickly—couldn’t tell what it was."

"Still, it definitely came from deep within the Wugu Sea," Da Huang said.

"Foster father, do you think there’s really something hidden down there?"

"Could it be… treasure?"

Lately, Little Earthworm had become increasingly obsessed with treasure. Whenever something seemed unusual, his first thought was that there must be treasure nearby.

Hearing the word "treasure," Chen Chang'an and Da Huang exchanged glances.

Could it be… a fragment of the Laws?

Based on the pattern so far, the next Law fragment they might encounter should be the Fragment of Life.

Given the peculiar nature of the Wugu Sea, it wasn’t surprising that Chen Chang'an suspected this.

"Back at Qifeng Valley, it was the Fragment of Death, right, big bro?" Da Huang asked.

"Right, the Fragment of Death."

"Why?"

"Are you thinking that even though the Fragment of Death was in that pond for so long, it only caused those who drank from it to risk being invaded by the power of Death?"

"But the situation here is different, so it might not be the same?" Chen Chang'an asked.

"Yeah, that’s what I was thinking."

Da Huang wasn’t the only one—Chen Chang'an had the same suspicion.

Although Law fragments were powerful, they were still just fragments. Only after merging with Chen Chang'an could they unleash their true potential.

More importantly, the primary purpose of Law fragments was to complete the Laws Chen Chang'an already possessed.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have such a massive effect—they might cause some minor influence, but nothing that could transform an entire sea like the Wugu Sea.

What’s more, the Wugu Sea had existed for an incredibly long time. Legends about it dated back tens of millions of years, if not longer.

"Hey, you two."

"Let’s not overthink this, alright?"

"Does it really matter if it’s a Law fragment or not?"

"As long as it’s treasure, isn’t that enough?"

"Getting an extra treasure… that’s never a bad thing."

"Why overcomplicate it?" Little Earthworm asked, puzzled.

"Hmm… I think Little Earthworm makes sense," Yi Tuo chimed in, having stayed silent until now.

"He does have a point."

"Alright, I’ll go check it out first."

"You guys keep moving forward, but stay alert for any signals from me."

"Don’t go too far, but don’t get too close either."

"If there’s any danger, run first," Chen Chang'an instructed.

"Big bro, what kind of people do you take us for?"

"If there’s real danger, do you even need to remind us?"

"Of course, we’ll run as far as we can!"

"You can rest assured—we’ll never let you down in that regard."

Chen Chang'an smirked at Da Huang and said, "Da Huang, you really get me."

"Alright, enough joking around."

"I’m heading down."

With that, Chen Chang'an dove straight toward the depths of the sea.

The seabed wasn’t just incredibly deep—it was also vast. Finding the source of that fleeting presence wouldn’t be easy.

"Da Huang, if there’s danger… we’re really going to run, right?"

"You were joking earlier, weren’t you?" Little Earthworm asked hesitantly.

"Of course we’re running for real."

"What else would we do? Get in the way?"

"Don’t worry, Chen Chang'an will understand."
