Chapter 233 Struggle in the Dark

Chapter 233 Struggle in the Dark

"The time has come. Let me send your highnesses out."

After taking a dip in the Sun Flame Pool, the eldest prince adjusted his condition and Zhao Feng spoke.

No one had any objection to this.

They have already received the benefits, and there is no need to continue messing around with Zhao Feng.

If it hadn't been for Emperor Yongyuan's arrangements this time, they probably wouldn't have been able to get close to this place.

Zhao Fengzhen acted according to the rules and sent them all out long ago.

"Thank you, Manager Zhao."

The three princes said in unison.

The Sixth Princess was still asleep.

Zhao Feng nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he used his strength to take the four of them away towards the outside of Yuqing Pond.

He will now send them away from Yuqing Pond according to the rules.

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

After the figure disappeared, Li Xuan came down from the rockery.

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

Li Xuan looked at the empty Sun Moon Yin Yang Pond with excitement.

He first approached the Sun Flame Pond, then stretched out his claws to fish it down.

"It's quite warm, but the reaction isn't that exaggerated."

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

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

This is today's main course.

Li Xuan immediately closed his eyes and began to use the Turtle Breathing Technique to make preparations.

Manager Shang asked him to practice the Turtle Breathing Technique in advance, which must be useful.

He began to operate the Turtle Breathing Technique of the Perfect Realm to improve his condition to the best.

In his current state, if he was just doing ordinary diving, it wouldn't be a problem for him to last for two or three days.

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

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

He first touched the dark pool of water with his paw, and suddenly felt a chill.

"hiss--"

"This is a bit more exciting."

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

He put a pair of hind legs on the shore, and then slowly extended his body into the Moon Pond to allow himself to adapt to the cold temperature.

When he felt it was almost done, he took a deep breath and then pushed in 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 disappeared into the Moon Yin Pond, Manager Shang's figure slowly walked out from behind another rockery.

He looked at the unrippled Yueyin Pond, his eyes full of worry.

After a while, Zhao Feng also came back. When he saw Manager Shang standing here alone, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked:

"Daddy, has Ah Xuan gone down already?"

Manager Shang nodded silently, and then asked Zhao Feng: "Have all your highnesses been sent back safely?"

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

"The child handed the three of them to their attendants."

"The Eighth Prince came alone, and the child sent him back."

After hearing this, Manager Shang nodded with relief.

After just taking a dip in the Sun Flame Lake, several of their highnesses are not in good condition, so their safety must be ensured.

Otherwise, if something happens, Zhao Fengke will not be able to explain it clearly.

"Godfather, do you think A-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 bit lacking, he can practice the Turtle Breathing Technique very quickly. Coupled with his beastly physique, he doesn't have no chance at all."

Manager Shang analyzed with a solemn expression.

"Godfather, do you hope that A-Xuan can reach the bottom of the pond?"

Zhao Feng asked with some unclear meaning.

Manager Shang was silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"Half and half."

Manager Shang's expression was as complicated as his answer.

"Axuan needs more time to grow, but now time waits for no one."

"We can only go gambling with your Majesty."

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, no matter what the cost!"

Looking at Manager Shang's serious eyes, Zhao Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.

"By the way, where is His Highness Ankang?"

Manager Shang asked.

"They found a place to rest, but they haven't fallen asleep yet. They are probably waiting for Ah Xuan to go back."

Zhao Feng answered, but his eyes were staring at the bottomless Yueyin Pool.

…

Li Xuan felt like he was swimming in a piece of ice.

The surroundings were as dark as eternal night, and even with his night vision, he couldn't see very far.

And he found that the deeper he dived, the lower the surrounding temperature became.

Due to the unbearable low temperature, the icy breath in Li Xuan's body was already running on its own, and the speed was gradually accelerating.

Perhaps because of the cold breath protecting his body, or perhaps because he had experienced the cold baptism in Princess Ankang's body, his dive into Moon Yin Pond was much smoother than he expected.

"The deeper it gets, the colder it gets."

"The colder it gets, the faster it gets."

Feeling the accelerating energy and cold breath that was constantly being stimulated in his body, Li Xuan couldn't help but continue to dive.

Not only that, the water in Yueyin Pond was constantly stimulating and strengthening his body.

Not only the muscles and bones, but also the bone marrow and internal organs began to vibrate. The effect was comparable to when he had just roared like a dragon, tiger, and wind.

After the roar of the dragon, tiger and wind is heard, the bone marrow and internal organs will tremble.

But this tremor will weaken over time.

But now Li Xuan could feel that his bone marrow and internal organs were not only trembling, but the amplitude of the trembling was also increasing.

But while the tremors became larger, there was no sign of losing control and it was extremely stable.

Li Xuan guessed that this should have something to do with Yueyintan.

Every stroke he made was extremely laborious, as if the water was extremely dense.

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

"Gulu."

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

He watched helplessly as the bubbles rose and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

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

"I simply couldn't hold on for long under that kind of pressure."

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

Li Xuan's mind suddenly became empty, but then he felt a panic.

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

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

This feeling of disorientation immediately amplified his panic, making Li Xuan couldn't help but accelerate his heartbeat, amplifying his own consumption.

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

"No, no!"

"Calm down!!!"

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

This revolving door-like situation did not make him more panicked, but instead made him feel a little calmer in his panic.

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

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

And as his heartbeat stopped beating so fast, his sanity finally returned.

"do not be afraid."

"Find the direction."

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

"This is up and down."

Although the surroundings were still dark, Li Xuan had already found his direction.

Next, he simply closed his eyes.

Anyway, the cold water was making his eyes more and more uncomfortable.

And the darkness he saw had no effect other than making him fearful.

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

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

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

This actually allowed him to concentrate more.

The concepts of time and distance became increasingly blurry in his mind.

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

The power of Qi and blood and the breath of ice have reached their extreme limits and cannot continue to speed up.

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

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

But he felt he could hold on a little longer.

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

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

The perfect state of Turtle Breathing Technique gave him the courage to continue trying.

Cold, claustrophobic, stuffy...

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

But Li Xuan can always think of Princess Ankang and Yu'er, and every detail of their stay in Jingyang Palace.

These memories maintain Li Xuan's rationality and give him a steady stream of courage.

He had already experienced fear taking over his body once before.

In the 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 will die in fear and in the most incompetent way.

Only reason can allow him to fight against this instinctive fear.

Li Xuan's diving speed became slower and slower. Sometimes he would have to wait for a long time when he swam out.

On the surface, his expression was calm.

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

And this violence has the ability to lead Li Xuan to destruction at any time.

"Have you reached your limit?"

Li Xuan opened his eyes unwillingly, but there was still boundless 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 no longer dared to go down anymore, his body had reached its limit.

But just when he lowered his head, he suddenly found a tiny bit of light coming from the darkness beneath his feet.

Gone in a flash.
