Gao Huating is no longer passively asleep but actively engaging in meditation and Enlightenment.
She isn't foolish; she knows that the Immortal Realm is perilous and filled with strong beings. It's safest to hide here, as wandering around not only risks getting lost or missing her teammates but also getting killed.
The Cultivation Technique left by Senior Bai Gu includes some accompanying Magic and small Divine Skills.
In the following years, besides meditating and attaining Enlightenment, using this treasured land to enhance her cultivation, Gao Huating focused on understanding these Magic and Divine Skills.
Although she has reached this cultivation level without ever fighting,
she has imagined many fighting techniques in her mind.
Just like that, day after day, year after year;
Gao Huating didn't know how long she had been cultivating in the Crystal Coffin. She reckoned it might have been ten or twenty years. Thanks to the blessings of this treasured land and her two-thousand-year accumulation, her cultivation broke through twice, and she had become a Medium Level True Immortal.
Typically, at this cultivation level, one could find a good position in a big city in the Immortal Realm and become a tributor for minor factions.
Gao Huating also felt a bit restless.
This was entirely different from her slumbering cultivation; every time she opened her eyes, her expectations were dashed, causing great psychological pressure.
'Shall I go for a stroll on the water?'
'Forget it. I'm already the burden of the small team, better not cause more trouble.'
'I wonder if the teacher has reached the Golden Immortal stage now. He's so strong... but then again, as one's cultivation heightens, the harder it becomes to break through. The teacher should be in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.'
'Who can say? The teacher has been slumbering for sixteen thousand years in this environment with the full help of Senior Bai Gu, a Daluo Golden Immortal.'
'Ah, I'm likely still the burden of the small team.'
Gao Huating pouted slightly.
She was unaware that she had become a standard of beauty. Such expressions could have lethal effects on lecherous individuals.
Suddenly, she heard it.
Rumble, rumble, rumble—
Submerged in the Water Spirit, Gao Huating suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked up, through the Crystal Coffin, without seeing the familiar figure she hoped for. Instead, she saw two strange beasts chasing and fighting each other.
One beast, resembling both a dragon and a fish, was fighting with a large sea turtle.
They were both quite powerful, with the level of Primordial Immortals. The massive bodies stirred the seawater, causing it to surge continuously, and a thick Light Barrier appeared near the Sea Eye below, dissipating the shockwaves of their fighting.
Gulp.
Gao Huating swallowed.
These two strange beasts, could they possibly fight their way over to her... they actually are!
The half-dragon, half-fish beast was ferocious. In the midst of battle, it swung its tail, smashing the sea turtle toward the Sea Eye recklessly.
They all knew that there were many large arrays protecting the area near the Sea Eye. Once the array's power was triggered, it could severely damage the creatures close to the array.
The sea turtle hurriedly used its Water Control skill, emitting deep blue light, intending to hold up its massive body.
However, the dragon fish had anticipated this, opening its dragon mouth and shooting out a thick water arrow.
Gao Huating blinked.
Wasn't it supposed to be the big turtle spraying the water arrow?
The water arrow struck the sea turtle fiercely, causing its massive form to crash into the Light Barrier outside the Sea Eye.
In the next instant, the Light Barrier outside the Sea Eye trembled gently, and a powerful force erupted outward, strong enough to send a Heavenly Immortal flying. The sea turtle let out a miserable cry, its massive body shooting upward, its shell showing significant cracks.
Initially sympathizing with the sea turtle,
Gao Huating felt pity because it seemed to be in pain.
But the Crystal Coffin she was hiding in quivered slightly, pushed out by a current, rapidly darting through the sea in chaotic currents, narrowly passing through the gap between the sea turtle and the dragon fish.
The Crystal Coffin carried seven-colored rosy clouds.
"There's a treasure!"
The dragon fish shouted and immediately charged toward the Crystal Coffin;
the sea turtle, having been heavily hit, seized the chance to heal its injuries and tried to escape. However, before it could employ its Escape Skill, its Primordial Spirit suddenly trembled, and it fell unconscious.
This counterattack by the Formation was much more difficult to endure than it had anticipated.
Meanwhile, at the Crystal Coffin,
the dragon fish, over a hundred meters long, opened its big mouth, about to swallow the Crystal Coffin whole.
Gao Huating's face turned pale.
No longer able to pretend to be a sleeping beauty, she opened her eyes, water blue light glowing within, quickly forming hand signs with her small hands, causing the Crystal Coffin that was drifting with the waves to become stationary, calming the chaotic sea currents around it.
The dragon fish was momentarily stunned.
It realized the figure within the Crystal Coffin possessed power far beyond its own.
But the dragon fish could not stop its momentum and was about to swallow the Crystal Coffin.
Gao Huating pressed her fingers forward, an azure divine light flashing in her eyes.
"Courting death!"
Buzz!
The turbulent sea currents were swept by a powerful shock wave, and for a brief moment, the sea floor around them was completely silent.
Then, a massive explosion echoed near the Sea Eye. Many creatures fled in all directions, a column of water blasted into the air, shooting towards the sky. The dragon fish inside the water column had no time to beg for mercy, its body cracking and then shattering completely, scattering blue blood across the sky.
After a short while, both the Crystal Coffin and the sea turtle floated to the surface of the sea.
Gao Huating gently pushed open the cracked door of the Crystal Coffin, stowed it in her sleeve, and then looked around in a daze.
Everything was ocean blue, with no trace of familiar figures.
Two streaks of light shot towards them from the horizon, likely Immortals passing by to investigate and see if there was anything to take advantage of.
Gao Huating certainly didn't want to be taken advantage of.
