"You're awake."
A faint and cold voice came from behind. Chen Mu knew it was Demonic Woman Zara without looking back.
But he didn't look back. He stared blankly in front of him.
An endless sea of blue sparks appeared in front of him. Countless flowers that emitted blue fluorescence formed this sea of blue light.
They stirred up sky-blue waves from time to time with the breeze.
From time to time, sparkling sky-blue filaments were blown into the sky by the wind, like blue steaming mist.
The dream made of pure fluorescent blue was so dazzling and fascinating in the darkness!
"Where is this?"
Chen Mu's voice was a little erratic. He stared blankly at everything in front of him.
"Hundred Depths." The Demonic Woman's answer was very simple.
"House of a Hundred Depths?"
"It's Hundred Depths!" The Demonic Woman raised her voice slightly to emphasize the difference between the two.
Chen Mu finally came back to his senses. He asked in confusion, "What does it have to do with House of a Hundred Depths?"
The Demonic Woman stared at Chen Mu and said calmly, "Hundred Depths is the most vicious place in House of a Hundred Depths."
"Vicious?"
Chen Mu looked at the intoxicating fluorescent blue ocean in front of him in disbelief, unable to associate the word "ferocious" with it no matter how hard he tried.
"This is Blue Tantra. It's not poisonous, but it will crazily plunder the living space of other creatures.
Where Blue Tantra grows, only Blue Tantra grows.
Moreover, it's not edible. No creature has been found that can eat it. "The Demonic Woman lightly described the terrible characteristics of this beautiful creature.
Chen Mu felt a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that under the beautiful appearance in front of him hid such a cold truth.
"We need to get out of this blue sea. Otherwise, we will die here."
The Demonic Woman glanced at Chen Mu and continued, "Don't expect to find anything edible in the Blue Tantra Sea."
This time, Chen Mu was really a little scared.
The Blue Tantra Sea in front of him was boundless. He couldn't help but feel a little small in this blue sea.
The Demonic Woman ignored Chen Mu and took the lead to run forward.
Chen Mu hurriedly followed. As soon as he moved, he immediately noticed something strange.
Almost as soon as he thought about it, his whole body slid forward silently.
It was unprecedentedly smooth. He didn't need to do it deliberately. It was like his hands and feet.
That discovery made Chen Mu overjoyed, and he hurriedly checked his perception.
This inspection made him even more delighted.
Whether it was the finesse or the strength of his senses, they had both greatly increased.
He could now easily use moves that previously required him to use his full strength.
The most amazing thing was that under State Zero, his perception was like a big net that covered every inch of space around him. He could even feel the subtle changes in the airflow several kilometers away!
Even State Zero had been broken through!
This discovery made him even more ecstatic. Under State Zero, whether he chose cardless sects or conventional means, his power would be greatly increased.
At his level, foresight was more important than anything else.
Did he break through his limit in the storm?
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he began to try some of the usual training. He needed to adapt to this new state.
Before the breakthrough, he was like a card appliance that was in perfect harmony in all aspects.
Now that a certain part of it had suddenly been strengthened, it had broken its balance.
What Chen Mu needed to do was to re-establish a new balance, one that was even stronger than before.
While following the Demonic Woman, Chen Mu focused on his own training.
All he did were small exercises, such as controlling himself to suddenly move ten centimeters sideways, or using the Bipolar Card to activate a black energy bead and a white energy bead, using the energy line between the two to precisely cut a certain stamen of a Blue Tantra flower, or using the Power Gloves to do some fine control and so on.
Apart from keeping a trace of his attention to follow the Demonic Woman, all his attention was on these small exercises.
After practicing for a long time, he felt more and more comfortable. He could now do some difficult tactical moves with ease.
Chen Mu stopped training. He felt a little tired.
This kind of fatigue was not caused by excessive consumption of perception, but physical fatigue.
This was very rare for him. He used to feel that his body was beyond perception.
This was evident from the first time Wei-ah saw him and hoped to teach him. In the following time, he rarely encountered a situation where his physical strength could not keep up.
On the contrary, perception was often exhausted.
Only then did he remember that he had not eaten or drunk for a long time.
No wonder his body was so weak!
Chen Mu could not help but smile bitterly. He had been immersed in the joy of breaking through and did not notice that his body was on the verge of danger.
Thinking of this, his gaze fell on the Demonic Woman. Like him, she had not eaten or drunk.
Looking closely, he found that the Demonic Woman was far worse than usual. Although her running speed was not slow, she was obviously tired, giving people a feeling of weakness.
Chen Mu suddenly sped up and rushed behind the Demonic Woman, picking her up.
The Demonic Woman's physical strength had reached the verge of collapse, and her reaction had become extremely slow. She did not react until Chen Mu picked her up.
She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but her hands and feet were weak.
"Where can I find a water source?" Chen Mu ignored her struggle. He felt that his throat was on fire.
Compared to not eating, not drinking water was more fatal.
The water collector was usually placed in the transport shuttle car, and he did not have it with him.
Even if he had it, it would be useless. The clothes on his upper body had long been torn.
Fortunately, the card bag was tied tightly to his waist.
The Demonic Woman stopped struggling. She had no strength.
She also knew that flying with Chen Mu was the best choice at the moment.
She gritted her teeth and pointed in a direction, "There should be water in that direction. I smell water."
Chen Mu sped up without hesitation and flew in the direction pointed by the Demonic Woman.
Although he felt that "smelling water" was ridiculous, the Demonic Woman was full of mysteries. It was normal to have one more.
Moreover, this was the Hundred Depths. The Demonic Woman had more say than he did.
The jet stream card was at full speed. Chen Mu carried the Demonic Woman and flew close to the Blue Tantra Sea at a low altitude!
The turbulent airflow rolled up fluorescent blue catkins. Below the two, a V-shaped blue wave rippled on both sides.
The Demonic Woman closed her eyes. It was unknown whether she was conserving energy or thinking about something.
After flying for about 20 minutes, the Demonic Woman suddenly opened her eyes, "We're here!"
Chen Mu suddenly stopped. It was as if he was nailed in the air, completely violating the law of inertia.
He saw a shallow pool of water. The water was not deep, only about half a meter, and it was so clear that the bottom could be seen.
Controlling the jet stream card, Chen Mu slowly landed beside the shallow pool with the Demonic Woman.
As soon as they touched the ground, the Demonic Woman broke free from Chen Mu's hand and crawled to the side of the pool. She gulped down the water.
Chen Mu was not much better than her. His whole face was buried in the water.
The cool water moistened his thirsty throat, and a strong sense of pleasure filled his whole body. Chen Mu could feel his energy recovering little by little.
The two only stopped when they were almost full.
The two slumped next to the pool without a care for their image, gasping for air.
"How did we get here?" Chen Mu asked the Demonic Woman.
"I don't know." The Demonic Woman regained some vitality, and her voice was a lot stronger.
This answer did not disappoint Chen Mu too much, because he did not expect her to give him an answer.
It was already a fluke to be able to survive in the Cold Crystal Storm.
Glancing at the lush Blue Tantra Sea around him, he asked, "Does walking out of the Blue Tantra Sea mean walking out of the Hundred Depths?"
The Demonic Woman looked at Chen Mu with a trace of pity, a trace of mockery, but more of despair. "No one can walk out of the Hundred Depths."
"No one?" Chen Mu was a little disapproving of this statement.
The Demonic Woman ignored him and continued, "The Hundred Depths is the lowest area of the House of a Hundred Depths, and also the most dangerous area.
The entire House of a Hundred Depths is above our heads. "
"Above?"
Chen Mu was tongue-tied. He looked up at the sky subconsciously, but there was only bottomless darkness. He could not see anything.
"The entire House of a Hundred Depths is underground. No one has been to the surface. The closer it is to the surface, the colder it is.
Only underground places with geothermal heat could allow humans to survive.
All the plants in the House of a Hundred Depths rely on geothermal energy, not light.
We know very little about the Hundred Depths. It is limited to the outermost area, which is equivalent to the periphery of your jungle.
From there, we hone our skills, look for weapons, materials, and medicine. "
Chen Mu was stunned again by what the Demonic Woman said.
He could not help but marvel at the vastness of the world.
"When I was very young, I honed my skills in the periphery of the Hundred Depths. I am very familiar with it.
I have never seen such a large Blue Tantra Sea in the periphery, "the Demonic Woman said lightly.
"You mean, this is the depths of the Hundred Depths?" Chen Mu asked.
He found that the Demonic Woman spoke a lot more here than in the Heavenly Federation. She was not as cold as before.
He once thought that the Demonic Woman and Wei-ah were siblings. Their cold tone was exactly the same.
"You will know when you walk out of the Blue Tantra Sea." The Demonic Woman threw this sentence and turned to leave.
Chen Mu quickly followed. Without the Demonic Woman, he felt that he would definitely be lost in this vast Blue Tantra Sea.
However, this time he did not carry the Demonic Woman. Instead, he followed behind her and continued to adapt to the environment.
It was useless to ask more now. For him, this was a completely unfamiliar environment.
It was better to focus on improving his strength, which was much more practical.
Unknowingly, he was immersed in the practice, except for a bit of attention to follow behind the Demonic Woman.
He had not practiced so purely for a long time. Usually, he had too many things to consider.
Leading the team, commanding the battle, making cards, card appliances …
Now he could put everything behind him. He seemed to have returned to the time when he first got the mysterious card.
He only needed to train, and he only needed to train seriously, and that would be enough.
The Demonic Woman, who had recovered part of her physical strength, was like a female leopard. She ran lightly and vigorously in the blue Blue Tantra Sea, leaving a trail of floating blue catkins.
Behind her, Chen Mu, who seemed to be in a trance, followed closely.
