Chapter 1192: Bottomless Trench

According to legend, the Bottomless Trench was the deepest and longest trench in the Heaven Spirit World.

For many years, many people have explored this particular trench, but none were able to do so fully.

Someone once said that this trench was long enough to cross the entire Jade Sea. Its depths remained a mystery because no one had been able to reach the bottom.

It spanned further than the territory of the Void Imperfection Three Schools and brought about a different landscape to this region.

This was especially true when they were closer to the three schools. It had been said that this end of the trench near Shallow Beach was the most beautiful stretch.

When Li Qiye’s group got close, they saw a beautiful sight full of coral forests.

This coral field might span for thousands of miles along the two sides of the trench. Such a great field was truly spectacular, a sight only found at the Heaven Spirit World.

There were all kinds of colorful coral of varying shapes and sizes as far as the eye could see. Some were as large as trees that grew from the bottom of the sea all the way to the surface. Under these trees, groups of seaweed swayed about with happy fishes. There were also caves full of shrimps and crabs as well as large turtles lounging about…

Some grew in a criss-cross pattern and intertwined into a huge maze. If one entered this cave of coral, they would surely get lost.

All in all, this field was a dazzling spectacle of indescribable and unforgettable charm.

A depression could be found after crossing through this field completely. This was the renowned Bottomless Trench. It was broad to the point that it seemed to split the whole sea apart.

It was completely black; looking down into the trench was like looking into the gaping jaws of a monster that would devour anything that fell into it, a cause for fear and awe.

The group stopped inside the coral forest and didn’t proceed further. Here, Li Qiye meticulously examined a huge coral.

The two of them didn’t know what Li Qiye wanted to do. They stood behind him with bated breaths and didn’t dare to disturb him.

Next, Li Qiye moved as swift as lightning. His fingers swept forward with a speed beyond the two’s perception.

He then spread his palms before Teng Jiwen and Ye Tu to show an insect with fuzzy hair around the length of a finger. This insect was squirming on his palm and gave quite a creepy feeling. [1. Not sure what kind of insect this is since it isn’t clear. Not a clear word for worm, caterpillar, or something else, so keeping it as insect to play it safe.]

“Okay, since the two of you are here, I’ll entrust this important matter to you both. Catch these insects for me, the more the better. Afterward, roast and grind them into a powder.” Li Qiye then threw the insect over to these two.

The two were quite perplexed and didn’t know the purpose of this bug catching session. Nevertheless, they followed his orders and searched through these coral reefs without saying anything.

These two both had great statuses. One was a supervisor of the Void Imperfection School while Teng Jiwen was even better off as the prestigious successor of the Heavenvine Citadel. However, they obediently acted as Li Qiye’s followers to find these insects.

After pa.s.sing this menial matter over to the pair, Li Qiye immediately left for the surface of the sea and began to walk on the water.

After walking a bit while gazing at the sky, he plopped down and began to float with his face out of the water. He closed his eyes as if he was sleeping.

The sea was quiet and moved Li Qiye along. The entire process was without sound, as if Li Qiye was one with the sea.

He slept and let the sea take him wherever it wished. The day pa.s.sed by just like this.

“Are you Young n.o.ble Li?” Some time later, a sweet and clear voice came about as Li Qiye was drifting about.

Li Qiye opened his eyes to see a pretty fairy-like maid standing on the waves. It was a beautiful scene.

“Yes?” Li Qiye closed his eyes and lazily replied.

The pretty maid told Li Qiye: “Young n.o.ble Li, my madam wishes to invite you. Will you please follow me?”
