Jiao Wukong is a sea creature, and his thoughts are simpler than others'.
For him, if he pledged loyalty to Chu Yuan, he must be completely devoted, or else the terrifying Wheel of Life and Death that belonged to the heavens would cause him to tremble in fear of his impending death.
He imdiately affird his loyalty.
"Speak." Chu Yuan said.
"Under the sea, I discovered an ancient city buried deep within, offering it to Your Majesty as a token," Jiao Wukong humbly said.
"A city buried under the sea?"
Soone frowned and said, "Being a city buried at the sea's depths, why did you, Jiao Wukong, not explore it earlier instead of only now?"
Where there are people, disputes arise. Obviously, so questioned Jiao Wukong's motives when he expressed his loyalty.
"Seas turn into mulberry fields, ti shifts, and treasures hidden beneath the sea are more abundant than you imagine. This Eastern Xuan domain used to be subrged in the sea during ancient tis, and the ocean floor may have been land countless years ago."
Even though Jiao Wukong is a sea creature, he's not simple-minded. He coldly examined the surrounding crowd saying, "As marine creatures who live under the sea, we are naturally aware of things that you aren't. I have explored the ruins of that city before. However, a terrifying power there prevented from getting close. I will definitely report this to His Majesty."
"Since there is an ancient city under the sea that even you, Jiao Wukong, can't approach, I must personally have a look."
Chu Yuan slowly channeled his boundless imperial aura. He knew clearly that Jiao Wukong was not lying and affird, "If excavating this city yields benefits for Dawu, you shall be highly rewarded."
"Thank Your Majesty!" Jiao Wukong quickly said, "Allow to guide you there!"
Suddenly, multiple beams of light traveled towards the sea floor.
The deep sea had a trendously high pressure, but there existed so unique underwater creatures.
"Your Majesty, it is over there. One must not approach within ten miles of that ancient city, else you will end up wandering in a maze."
Jiao Wukong reminded.
Upon his advice, Chu Yuan saw that under the dark sea, an ancient city was buried deep within the sea silt. From the exterior, despite being ageless, it looked just like an ordinary city, nothing particular about it.
"Can't get any closer." Jiao Wukong quickly warned.
"Such a strong spatial force!"
He was extrely sensitive to Void Torrent. He sensed that there was an extrely terrifying void force surrounding this ancient city.
After a mont of contemplation, he stepped forward.
In everyone's sight, he wasn't far from this underwater city, but the scene before Chu Yuan had completely changed.
He only saw a chaotic void, with countless terrifying Torrents of Void rapidly swirling. He couldn't see the ancient city any longer, it seed like he had stepped into a maze that could change its form in the blink of an eye.
It seed that whichever direction he went, he couldn't find his way back and would be trapped here forever.
He walked around aimlessly. His strong intuition told him he was still on the spot, but the chaotic space made him lose track of his surroundings.
"Hmph!"
Chu Yuan dismissed with a cold snort.
He pointed with his finger, and the void before him was cut open. It seed as if nurous layers of walls were broken, but in the next instant, the void had returned to its normal state.
"It truly is intriguing."
Chu Yuan analyzed.
This was a domain ford by the chaotic void force.
If not for the long passage of ti, even this ancient city wouldn't be visible.
"It is not hard to break through." Chu Yuan smiled, "Xiaokun, it's your turn."
He released Void Dao Whale, gently patting its massive head.
He indeed possessed this Void creature.
Void Dao Whale appeared extrely disdainful towards the chaotic void before it. Its mouth suddenly opened wide, and in an instant, the fast-moving Void Torrent was swallowed by Void Dao Whale.
"Worthy of being my Imperial Beast, I have mastered the Grand Swallowing Technique, and you are able to consu space." Chu Yuan laughed.
Void Dao Whale heard him and proudly swayed its fins.
Through Void Dao Whale's swallowing, Chu Yuan keenly perceived that the chaos in space was weakening. Monts later, the chaotic void in front of him returned to normal.
"We can proceed now," Chu Yuan announced suddenly to Jiao Wukong and the others.
"We can proceed just like that?"
Jiao Wukong was stunned.
He had tried countless thods before, knowing there was treasure here but unable to get quickly near it. Who would've thought Chu Yuan would be able to break through in such a short ti?
At this mont, he was utterly impressed with Chu Yuan.
He was the first to continue onward and found that the strange power had indeed vanished.
The city was only visible from one angle, and all they could see were its towering ancient walls and so age-old structures. The city's grandeur remained hidden underneath the deep sea.
"Soon, excavate this city for ."
Chu Yuan ordered.
The people accompanying him were Void Gods who could move mountains and manipulate seas. At this ti, they unleashed their mana, which transford into giant hands and began digging towards the ancient city.
Gradually, the grandeur of this ancient city appeared before Chu Yuan's eyes.
This city was massive, and its architectural style was incredibly ancient. It was unclear which era it belonged to. Though it had spent an eternity in the sea, there were no signs of corrosion.
Void Dao Whale emitted a huge bubble, enveloping the ancient city to prevent seawater intrusion.
"Let's go and take a look."
It was quiet in the city.
The city had nurous streets and normal residential houses. It seed like it was a flourishing place millions of years ago.
"Can any of you tell which ancient nation this city is from?"
"Not sure. There are traces of ancient text, but they are twisted and distorted, and most of them have been worn away. The scripts are too ancient; we've never seen them before."
"The eternal world is ancient; even the epochs closest to us are too old to reckon. But I can affirm, this is not a city from the ancient tis because this territory existed during those tis and the geography hasn't changed much."
"In that case, this must be even older."
"How can we tell which nation it belongs to in an era of great changes?"
...
Everyone looked at the statue-strewn city, shaking their heads in discussion.
If these were texts from the ancient era, the period when the Five Emperors reign, they could recognize them. But these symbols were too ancient to distinguish.
Although the lives of Void Gods last for tens of thousands of years, they are insignificant in the face of ti. Even the Celestial Gods only live for a million years. Who can truly achieve eternal life?
Seeing this ancient city being excavated, they all felt a sense of lancholy.
The eternity of life, a goal many pursue.
But without a trendous opportunity, the Void Gods are already at their limits.
"This is the lost city that's been buried under the sea for countless years."
Chu Yuan did not wallow in emotions like others. He noticed that there were still skeletons within the city.
But these skeletons didn't belong to the original inhabitants of the city; they were those who entered the city over the years and ended up trapped there.
Among these individuals were Void Gods, but to Chu Yuan's regret, their King-class Divine Weapons had already decayed and were no longer suitable for making sacrifices.
"What's that over there!"
As Chu Yuan arrived at a place, he suddenly noticed that countless stone statues had appeared before him!
