After Zhang Yingxiong left, Chu Feng wanted to ask the Dao Sea Fairy for help with something.
So, he, the Dao Sea Fairy, and Wang Yuxian returned to the same hall where they had healed Wang Yuxian’s injuries earlier.
Chu Feng then took out the black chest he had stolen from the Asura Burial Ground.
This black chest was already very strange on its own, and the blood-red sealing talismans pasted on it were extremely powerful sealing talismans. All of this indicated that the item inside was no simple matter.
But the most terrifying thing was that this black chest was now constantly shaking, as if the thing inside had already awakened and was about to break out.
"Young friend Chu Feng, is this what you obtained from the Asura Burial Ground?" the Dao Sea Fairy asked.
"Yes," Chu Feng replied honestly.
Chu Feng had come to the Dao Sea Fairy earlier precisely because of this chest.
This chest was connected to the Asura Burial Ground. Normally, Chu Feng would not share it with anyone.
But this item was too terrifying, and Chu Feng well knew his own limited strength.
That was why he wanted to ask the Dao Sea Fairy for help, to see if she could identify what exactly was inside this chest.
"This chest is very unusual, and I do not know what is inside either."
"In my opinion, it might be best to open the chest and find out," the Dao Sea Fairy suggested.
"Senior, this item appears extremely dangerous. Opening it recklessly seems unwise."
Chu Feng did not distrust the Dao Sea Fairy; it was just that this item was genuinely terrifying.
Chu Feng feared that opening it might release some horrific monster that even the Dao Sea Fairy couldn’t control, which could lead to a great disaster.
"Young friend Chu Feng, your mastery of barrier arts is outstanding. I trust you can also see that no matter how powerful these sealing talismans are, they will soon be unable to continue containing the thing inside."
"That is why you came to ask for my help, is it not?" the Dao Sea Fairy said to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng did not deny it.
He simply felt that opening this chest recklessly was too risky.
"Actually, there are two options."
"First, I could go and confront the Black Fiend Old Demon for an explanation."
"But based on my understanding of the Black Fiend Old Demon, even if I were to defeat him, he might not necessarily tell me anything about the Asura Burial Ground or this chest."
"Still, this method seems the most reliable."
"Then there is a second method."
"Within my Dao Sea, there is actually an ancient sealing array."
"That ancient sealing array has no effect on cultivators; it is designed specifically to seal evil spirits and monsters."
"If this item truly is not benevolent, then that ancient sealing array will certainly be able to seal it."
"Because I have already used that ancient sealing array to seal many evil spirits and monsters, I have great confidence in it."
"We can place this item inside the ancient sealing array and open it there. If it turns out to be an evil spirit or monster, the ancient sealing array will seal it right there."
"Of course, these are merely my suggestions. If Young Friend Chu Feng has another method, you may handle it as you see fit. After all, this is your item, and the decision is yours," the Dao Sea Fairy said.
"Chu Feng, use that ancient sealing array and give it a try."
"Even if the ancient sealing array truly cannot contain it, at least it will buy us some time to escape."
"Besides, what is inside the chest might not necessarily be something terrible."
"What if it only looks scary on the outside, but inside is actually a great beauty like this Queen?"
"Wouldn't you have hit the jackpot then?" Eggy said to Chu Feng with a grin.
Although she said this, Chu Feng knew that Eggy had always felt this item was ominous and hoped he would get rid of this burden as soon as possible.
Now that the Dao Sea Fairy was willing to help, this was indeed a good opportunity.
"Senior, then I will have to trouble you," Chu Feng said.
Afterward, the Dao Sea Fairy, along with Wang Yuxian and Chu Feng, ventured deep into the Dao Sea.
As they went deeper, the depths of the ocean became pitch black. Sunlight could not penetrate down here, and even the sea creatures were exceptionally large and strangely shaped.
Going further not only reduced their visible range, but their spiritual senses also began to fail. If not for the Dao Sea Fairy leading the way, Chu Feng truly wouldn’t know which direction to go.
Finally, the Dao Sea Fairy brought Chu Feng and the others to a place that appeared entirely unremarkable. She then took out a special barrier key, and a barrier gate materialized.
Passing through the barrier gate, they were still in an underwater world, but this place was brightly lit with lanterns.
Chu Feng and the others found themselves standing in an ancient underwater city hidden in the depths of the sea.
Every brick, tile, blade of grass, and tree in this ancient city emanated an aura of antiquity, all being genuine relics preserved from ancient times.
As they walked forward, Chu Feng also discovered that this underwater city was a massive ancient ruin, filled with many wonders within its grounds.
Furthermore, the city was also riddled with traps and trials; a moment of carelessness could lead to one’s death.
