The vast Nether Sea, its end unknown, Lin Feng flew for a long time, yet he couldn’t find the Cultivation Kingdom, nor did he see any cultivator gathering places.

Finally, he descended into an archipelago filled with stars.

There were many islands here, but none were large. Here, Lin Feng discovered some peculiar fish.

These were crystal-colored fish, called "Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish."

Lin Feng had read about these fish in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

These fish contained a very special Fish Crystal, which could greatly enhance a cultivator’s soul power.

So, when he saw these Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish, Lin Feng decided to cultivate here for a while.

He opened up a cave on one of the islands.

Then he began to dive into the ocean to catch Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish.

But much to Lin Feng’s frustration, catching the Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish was too difficult.

These Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish always managed to disappear without a trace.

Catching them in the sea was clearly not feasible.

"Perhaps I can set some traps." Lin Feng stroked his chin.

He thought this method was viable—catching Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish through traps.

But to set traps, he needed bait.

Lin Feng remembered the characteristics of Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The diet of Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish mainly consists of various crystal stones and spirit stones.

These fish are very special; they do not swallow vegetation, nor do they eat other fish.

"Source Crystal Stone should be highly tempting to these Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish, right?" Lin Feng murmured to himself.

He set up traps in shallow waters, first inserting over a dozen array flags into the sand.

Then he set up a great array.

Finally, he placed a few Source Crystal Stones, so when the Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish entered the range covered by the array, it would trigger.

Then the great array would activate.

Capturing the Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish.

This method was very effective; the next day when Lin Feng came to the seaside, he found he had captured over twenty Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish.

He gutted the Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish to take out the Fish Crystal, then made a pot of fish soup with the fish.

The taste was incredibly delicious.

Beibei and the Dragon Rabbit ate happily, their little bellies round and full. After eating, the two little fellows started frolicking and chasing each other on the island.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng returned to the Cave Mansion to start refining the Fish Crystals.

"Is the effect really as legendary as they say?" Lin Feng muttered, looking at the Fish Crystal in his hand.

Then he began refining these Fish Crystals.

The energy stored within the Fish Crystals was gradually absorbed by Lin Feng.

Soon, Lin Feng felt his soul power was indeed growing wildly.

This made Lin Feng very happy; these Fish Crystals were very effective.

For the next three months, Lin Feng continued catching Deep Sea Blue Crystal Fish in this sea area.

His soul power made significant breakthroughs, first reaching the Fourth Layer Heaven of the Divine Fire Realm!

Then, he further broke through to the Fifth Layer Heaven of the Divine Fire Realm.

Of course, during this time Lin Feng did many things, for example, he re-refined the Three Poisonous Puppets, and all of them reached the peak level of the Void God Realm.

The cultivation of his Divine Realm Avatar was raised to the Sixth Layer Heaven of the Divine Fire Realm.

And Lin Feng’s own cultivation finally broke through to the Seventh Layer Heaven of the Void God Realm.

With such a strong accumulation, each breakthrough meant an unimaginable increase in combat power for Lin Feng.

During this time, Lin Feng discovered he could absorb more and more Power of Faith.

This made him quite satisfied, clearly indicating the Star Giant Beast in the Heavenly Martial Continent had likely built quite a few temples for him during this time.

Lin Feng’s rapid breakthrough in cultivation was partly due to his talent, partly due to fortuitous encounters, and partly due to the Power of Faith he absorbed.

He absorbed the Power of Faith every day.

Even without practicing cultivation, his realm would continuously improve.

"Eek! Eek!"

"Squeak! Squeak!"

...

Beibei and the Dragon Rabbit came back to the island, jumping and gesturing excitedly at Lin Feng.

"There’s a palace in the sea?" Lin Feng asked.

The two little fellows immediately nodded repeatedly.

Lin Feng continued, "Didn’t I tell you not to enter the ocean casually? Beware of the Fierce Beasts in the sea swallowing you."

The two little fellows immediately hung their heads, looking utterly aggrieved.

Lately, these two little fellows had become increasingly daring, initially only playing on the island, but recently they began exploring the mysterious ocean.

Lin Feng was naturally concerned about their safety, but seeing the two little fellows looking so pitiful, he couldn’t bring himself to scold them.

"Take me to that palace..." Lin Feng said.

The two little fellows quickly nodded and flew towards the sea.

About ten nautical miles off the coast of a small island, the two little fellows stopped.

They pointed downward.

Lin Feng produced an energy light shield to protect the two little fellows inside.

Then they quickly dove down together.

The sea in this area was very deep.

It took a descent of over 40,000 meters to reach the bottom.

Lin Feng saw a massive ancient city, and within the city were endless palaces.

"An underwater kingdom?" he was very surprised.

But the underwater kingdom had long fallen into decay.

In its prime, there must have been a civilization of the sea here, though its destruction remains a mystery.

Lin Feng descended into the city and saw a gigantic divine statue standing in the plaza.

This was a very strange sea life form.

It had eight arms, each holding a different weapon.

Its face was fierce and ugly.

It was Lin Feng’s first time seeing such a divine statue, and he didn’t know what kind of divine spirit this kingdom worshipped.

Lin Feng guessed it might be a Sea God?

Among the Sea Gods, Poseidon was naturally the most famous.

However, with many races in the ocean, there were many Sea Gods too.

Many sea clans did not worship Poseidon.

Like this ancient civilization in front of him, they did not worship Sea God Poseidon.

"This underwater civilization seems untouched by warfare; everything is very well-preserved. Why? Where did everyone go? Why did they vanish?"

Lin Feng wandered around the city.

He visited many places, and found each was perfectly preserved, not suffering any damages.

This only made Lin Feng feel more puzzled.

"What exactly happened here years ago?" he murmured to himself.

"Eek! Eek!"

At this time, Beibei pointed in a direction.

Lin Feng looked and saw a blue light flash and disappear.

This surprised him greatly; what was that?

He quickly chased after it, but found nothing.

"Could I have seen it wrong?" Lin Feng couldn’t help but frown slightly.
