Tiangang Thirty-Six Techniques was a Daoist technique that involved the fundamentals of the universe and only people who had reached Dixian were qualified to practice this.

According to the rumor, the immortal Zhenren from the ancient time practiced this Daoist technique not to be extremely powerful but for other purposes.

However, this exceptional Daoist technique was long lost. What Shen Lian had was just the surface of the Tiangang Thirty-Six Techniques, which could allow him to shift the flesh and blood of his body temporarily. He could not turn himself into another species or material, which was possible using the complete Tiangang Thirty-Six Techniques.

When Shen Lian’s body and the structure of his blood and flesh began to change, all in a sudden the pressure of the sea disappeared and it made him feel free swimming across the sea.

As his body was filled with water now, he no longer felt the pressure of the water. He blended in with the sea and there was no difference between the sea and himself.

The adjustment to the minutest detail of the body was not particularly new to him as he had tried it before. However, Shen Lian could not help but imagine that what if he could make use of this technique to change the material, and perhaps he could turn into the demon beasts, or even to mountains and rivers.

After giving some thought to it, he realized it was still best to be human.

Shen Lian obtained the location of the Eye of the Sea from the Mystical Whale and it was not far from here. However, as it was located under the deep sea, not even powerful cultivators who had reached Huandan could dive there.

It was not completely without light under the sea. The soil at the base was very soft and somewhat warm. It could be due to the potential existence of hot lava underneath. On top of the soft soil, there were a lot of odd looking plants that let out some lights. According to the memory of the Mystical Whale, it seemed that the Eye of the Sea was not too far away.

It was because there was no cold Qi here that the Mystical Whale was caught unprepared by the extreme Yin and extremely cold Qi of Devilry of the Eye of the Sea.

Shen Lian learned from its lesson and hence he laid down his spiritual consciousness to detect the changes in his environment.

The spiritual vigor under the sea was difficult to manipulate. The vastness would make someone kneel down to worship it by impulse. It was the vastness of the spiritual vigor which animated the underwater world and made people feel touched about how gorgeous creation was.

Shen Lian swam in the water freely and as there were not many visitors since ancient times, it was extremely quaint. Other than the slowly flowing water, the heat from the ground and the unique sea plants, there was nothing else.

Shen Lian was aware that only the plants could survive in this environment. For the demon beasts, it would not be possible for them to withstand the pressure of the water.

However, if there was any demon beast around, it should be of a special breed.

He felt something prickly in his spiritual consciousness as if he just swept by the extreme Yin and extremely cold Qi of devilry. Shen Lian felt glad as he found the right place. He just wanted to make use of these Qi of devilry to produce Ice Light. He did not have the intention to explore the underwater world.

As his mana activated, his body which was akin to one of the fish started to wiggle and separate the water. All of a sudden he had traveled several tens feet in distance and was getting closer to the source of the Qi of devilry.

There was heat from the ground but it too gave birth to the extreme Yin and extremely cold Qi of devilry. Shen Lian was not surprised as when a thing reaches its extreme, it reverses its course. Within Yang lies Yin, which was fitting with the principle of the universe.

There was a shadow that quickly approached Shen Lian. If not because of his sharp spiritual senses, it could be hard to react in time. He avoided it but had a cut on his body. He stopped the bleeding quickly but he felt angry.

Since he started the journey of cultivation, he was rarely injured.

If this did not go well, his body would be damaged.

The shadow turned back after passing by. Shen Lian was hurt the first time and hence he now paid all his attention to it. It looked akin to a shark, but with a horn on its forehead. It went past the water as fast as lightning.

Its body had a streamlined shape and there were no scales. Replacing the scales was tightly stretched, delicate skin which had the glossy look of metals. Its eyes looked like two blue jewels, reflecting Shen Lian’s image.

Shen Lian thought to himself, it must be living under the sea all these while, he did not have any advantage trying to fight it here.

With that thought, Shen Lian looked to end this quickly.

The unicorn shark extended its fins which were sharp and it tried to cut through Shen Lian.

Shen Lian laughed in his mind as he was not afraid of an animal that had only strength.

He extended his finger and a stream of Qi flew out. Even though the unicorn shark was as fast as lightning, it was nothing when compared to Shen Lian’s speed in activating mana. The Qi quickly surrounded the unicorn shark akin to that of a densely packed net.

The unicorn shark was from the sea and it had the size of a King Kong and unlimited strength, but as it encountered the stream of Qi Shen Lian formed, it felt like its strength was drained. All its power as it struggled was absorbed by the net.

It looked at Shen Lian fiercely, as if there were two sharp knives that were piercing through his eyes.

It could be seen that in the dark blue sea, there were two blue rays which were heading towards Shen Lian. It was a technique that was attacking his mind and spirit. Shen Lian just laughed and thought that in terms of strength, the beast could still fight with him, but in terms of attacking the mind and spirit, it stood no chance, like a mayfly that was trying to shake the tree.

Shen Lian did nothing when the two blue rays almost reached him. The rays were blocked by a metal wall – not only did they lose their arrowhead, the unicorn shark looked defeated.

It started to sink, and it fell onto the soil. Its body was heavy and half of it was entrapped.

Shen Lian moved towards it slowly to evaluate it closely. The defeated unicorn shark suddenly erected and attempted to pierce through Shen Lian again with its sharp horn. The net around its body was too pierced through – one could tell how much strength was put into this.

The sharp horn pierced through Shen Lian’s heart, but before it could feel proud, it realized something was wrong. It could see that the person that was pierced through by its horn was slowly dispersing and it felt like its head was being pressed by something. A horrendous power was seeping through and it could no longer make use of its strength.

The unicorn shark which had more several ten thousand pounds of strength was now entirely under the control of Shen Lian and it could not rebel against it.

Shen Lian could sense its pleading emotions and also through the sound it made.

Shen Lian laughed and spoke to it using his divine thoughts, “Where are you from?”

“I am General Tusk, under the command of Black Water King. Who are you? You don’t look like a merman or human but you’re powerful. I can’t help but admire you.” The divine thoughts of the unicorn shark passed on. It did not know that Shen Lian was shapeshifting, and hence it thought he looked weird.

Shen Lian said, “Who is Black Water King? I’ve never heard of him.”

“My king is extremely famous. If you have never heard of him, it could be that you are ignorant.”

Shen Lian laughed and thought that not many in the world dared to call the chief of Qing Xuan ignorant.

He really indeed never heard of the Black Water King. It sounded like a Demon King but he did not how much mana he had. Shen Lian asked, “Why did you attack me?”

“You entered the region of Black Water Residence. The king made this order that any outsider should be killed.”

“You are indeed murderous, but it seems that you can’t do anything to me. What should I do to you then?” Shen Lian laughed.

General Tusk started to feel worried, and said, “What do you want?”

Shen Lian spoke slowly, “Is Black Water Residence the place where the Qi of devilry gathers?”

He pointed at the source of the extreme Yin and extremely cold Qi of devilry.
