Chapter 233 Struggle in the Dark

"Time's up. I'll escort you all out."

Zhao Feng spoke until the eldest prince, who had finished soaking in the Sun-flame Pond, adjusted his state.

No one objected to this.

They had already gotten the benefits, so there was no need to continue to argue with Zhao Feng.

If it weren't for the arrangement made by Emperor Yongyuan this time, they probably wouldn't be able to get close to this place.

If Zhao Feng had really followed the rules, he would have sent them all out long ago.

"Thank you, General Manager Zhao."

The three princes said in unison.

The Sixth Princess was still sleeping.

Zhao Feng nodded, waved his hand, and used his Qi to lift the four people up and headed out of the Jade Clear Pool.

He was going to escort them out of the Jade Clear Pool according to the rules.

Before Zhao Feng left, he looked back at the direction of the rockery, and a smile appeared on his face.

Li Xuan came down from the rockery only after the figure went away.

"It seems that I am allowed to go in by myself."

Li Xuan looked at the now empty Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond with an excited look.

He first approached the Sun Flame Pond and stretched out his claws to scoop it down.

"It is quite hot, but the reaction is not so exaggerated."

Li Xuan tilted his head, feeling that the previous few people seemed to be acting.

He shook his claws and walked to the edge of the Moon Yin Pond.

This is today's main course.

Li Xuan immediately closed his eyes and began to practice the Turtle Breathing Method to prepare.

It must be useful that Shang Zongguan asked him to practice the Turtle Breathing Method in advance.

He began to practice the Perfect Turtle Breathing Method to improve his condition to the best.

With his current condition, if it is just ordinary diving, it will not be a problem to persist for two or three days.

If his strength continues to improve in the future, this time can be maintained for longer.

Li Xuan prepared himself and slowly walked into the Moon Yin Pond.

He first touched the dark water with his claws and felt a chill.

"Hiss——"

"This is a bit more powerful."

Li Xuan first tested the temperature, but found that it was far from unbearable.

He clung to the shore with his hind legs, and then slowly extended his body into the Moon Pond to acclimate himself to the cold temperature.

When he felt it was almost done, he took a deep breath and plunged into the pond with his hind legs.

Only a few ripples appeared on the surface of the Moon Pond, and then it quickly calmed down again.

As Li Xuan's figure completely sank into the Moon Pond, Shang Zongguan slowly walked out from behind another rockery.

He looked at the calm Moon Pond, his eyes full of worry.

After a while, Zhao Feng came back again. Seeing Shang standing alone, he couldn't help but ask:

"Godfather, has Ah Xuan gone down?"

Shang nodded silently, and then asked Zhao Feng: "Have all the princes been sent back safely?"

"The attendants of the eldest prince, the fourth prince and the sixth princess are still outside the door."

"I handed the three of them to their attendants."

"The eighth prince came alone, and I sent him back."

Hearing this, Shang nodded with relief.

After just soaking in the Sun Flame Pond, the princes were not in good condition, and their safety must be guaranteed.

Otherwise, if something happened, Zhao Feng would not be able to explain it clearly.

"Godfather, do you think Ah Xuan can reach the bottom of the pond?"

Zhao Feng asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. Although Ah Xuan's strength is still a little insufficient, he has practiced the turtle breathing method very quickly. In addition, he has the physique of the beast tribe, so he is not completely without a chance."

Shang analyzed with a serious face.

"Godfather, do you hope that Ah Xuan can reach the bottom of the pond?" Zhao Feng asked with some ambiguity. Shang was silent for a moment, then sighed. "Half and half." Shang's expression was as complicated as his answer. "Ah Xuan needs more time to grow, but time waits for no one." "We can only accompany His Majesty to gamble." He then turned to look at his adopted son. "What we need to do now is to seek more chances for His Majesty to win." "For this purpose, we can do whatever it takes!" Looking at Shang's serious eyes, Zhao Feng nodded, indicating that he understood. "By the way, where is His Highness Ankang?" Shang asked. "They found a place to rest, but they haven't fallen asleep yet. They should be waiting for Ah Xuan to go back." Zhao Feng answered, but his eyes were fixed on the deep and bottomless Yueyin Pond. ... Li Xuan felt like he was swimming in a piece of ice. The surroundings were as dark as the eternal night. Even with his night vision, he couldn't see too far.

He also found that the deeper he dived, the lower the temperature around him became.

Due to the unbearable low temperature, the icy breath in Li Xuan's body has been running on its own, and the speed is gradually increasing.

Perhaps because of the protection of the icy breath, or perhaps because of the baptism of the coldness in Princess Ankang's body, his dive in Yueyin Lake was much smoother than he expected.

"The deeper, the colder."

"The colder, the faster."

Feeling the accelerated Qi and blood power and icy breath constantly stimulated in his body, Li Xuan couldn't help but continue to dive.

Not only that, the water of Yueyin Lake is constantly stimulating his body and strengthening it.

Not only muscles and bones, but also bone marrow and internal organs are trembling, and the effect is comparable to when he just roared the Dragon Tiger Wind Roar.

After the Dragon Tiger Wind Roar is roared, the bone marrow and internal organs will tremble.

But this tremor will weaken over time.

But now Li Xuan can feel that the bone marrow and internal organs are not only trembling, but the amplitude of the tremor is also increasing.

But as the vibrations grew, there was no sign of losing control, and it was extremely stable.

Li Xuan guessed that this should be related to Yueyin Lake.

Every time he paddled, it was particularly strenuous, as if the density of the water was particularly high.

He always felt that he was swimming in the ice, not only because of the cold, but also because of the particularly heavy pressure.

"Gulp."

Li Xuan suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and couldn't help but groan and spit out a bubble.

He watched the bubble float up and disappear into the darkness in an instant.

Li Xuan looked up in the direction of his memory, but he couldn't see the water surface at all, only endless darkness.

"Under this pressure, I can't hold on for too long."

"Not to mention that the further down you go, the greater the pressure..."

Li Xuan's mind suddenly went blank, but then he felt a panic.

The brief loss of consciousness made him unable to distinguish up, down, left, and right, and he only knew that he was surrounded by endless darkness.

He looked around, but couldn't remember which was up and which was down.

This feeling of being lost suddenly magnified his panic, causing Li Xuan's heartbeat to speed up and his consumption to increase.

An important part of the Turtle Breathing Method is to reduce one's consumption, but now because of Li Xuan's unbalanced mentality, the low consumption state maintained by the Turtle Breathing Method is being rapidly destroyed.

"No, no!"

"Calm down!!!"

The figures of Princess Ankang and Yu'er suddenly appeared in front of Li Xuan.

This revolving lantern-like situation did not make him more panicked, but made his panicked heart calm down a little.

"By the way, they are still waiting for me to go back."

Li Xuan's confused eyes regained their focus, and he tried his best to use the Turtle Breathing Method to slow down his heartbeat.

And as his heartbeat was no longer so fast, his reason finally returned.

"Don't be afraid."

"Find the direction."

Li Xuan slowly paddled around and soon found the direction with greater pressure and less pressure.

"This is up and down."

Although it was still dark all around, Li Xuan had found the direction.

Next, he simply closed his eyes.

Anyway, the cold water in the pond has made his eyes more and more uncomfortable.

And the darkness he saw had no effect except to make him feel scared.

His night vision ability was greatly suppressed underwater, and he could only see things three feet away, and this visual distance was constantly compressed as he dived.

Instead of doing this, it is better to close his eyes and use other senses to explore the surrounding situation first.

After thinking about this, Li Xuan closed his eyes and continued to swim towards the darkness with greater pressure.

This actually made him more focused.

The concept of time and distance became more and more blurred in his mind.

Li Xuan could only feel the violent reaction in his body.

The power of Qi and blood and the cold breath had reached the extreme and could not continue to speed up.

But the trembling of bones and internal organs continued to amplify.

The external pressure and internal trembling made Li Xuan feel particularly uncomfortable.

But he felt that he could hold on for a little longer.

Li Xuan could clearly feel that as long as he held on for a moment longer, he would be closer to breaking through to the marrow training realm.

He adjusted himself for a while, and after he felt that he had adapted to his current physical condition, he continued to swim towards the direction with greater pressure with his eyes closed, but his speed was obviously much slower.

The perfect state of turtle breathing gave him the courage to continue trying.

Cold, claustrophobic, stuffy...

Although there are many unfavorable factors that constantly provoke the deepest and most instinctive fear in his heart.

But Li Xuan can always remember the figures of Princess Ankang and Yu'er, and every detail of their time in Jingyang Palace.

These memories maintain Li Xuan's rationality and give him endless courage.

He has experienced the situation of being occupied by fear once before.

In panic, he was like the most ignorant beast, acting only on instinct, and almost killed himself.

Li Xuan knew that he could not give up his body again.

Otherwise, he would die in fear in the most incompetent way.

Only rationality could allow him to fight against this fear that came from instinct.

Li Xuan's diving speed was getting slower and slower. Sometimes he had to wait for a long time in the same place after swimming out.

On the surface, his expression was calm.

But his body was already as violent as an erupting volcano.

And this violence had the ability to take Li Xuan to destruction at any time.

"Has it reached the limit?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes unwillingly, and there was still endless darkness around him, which seemed to be no different from before he closed his eyes.

But the huge pressure on his body was enough to prove that he had dived a considerable distance.

But Li Xuan didn't dare to go down anymore, his body had reached the limit.

But just when he lowered his head, he suddenly found a little insignificant light coming from the darkness under his feet.

It flashed away.
