Chapter 530: Chapter 66: The Dragon Whale and the Harvest, Level Breakthrough! (8k)

Above the layer of ice, a golden greatsword swirled rapidly in the air, the edge of its blade glowing with a cloud-white halo, and the tip spitting out sword qi, drilling downward like a drill bit at high speed.

"Crack crack crack~" Ice shavings splattered in all directions.

Once the tip of the sword had pierced through ten meters of ice, it immediately stopped rotating.

Long Xiao simultaneously controlled four golden swords, with himself at the center, the four swords positioned in the four directions of southeast, northwest, each two hundred meters from their master.

The next second, the bodies of the swords trembled slightly, and the white glow on the blades turned into a sawtooth pattern as they moved.

This golden sword, having just acted as a drill, now assumed the role of a cutting machine, beginning to cut horizontally.

"The precious swords of Long Xiao are really doing some unexpected work," Zhao Xing laughed.

"I never expected that one day sword cultivators would fall to the level of laborers," Xia Jing felt as if some aura within him had shattered.

The once high and mighty sword cultivators are now too damn down to earth!

"His speed is indeed fast," Ji Ziyun said, "If it were me, a magician, I definitely wouldn’t be as fast as him."

The ice is too thick, and here, magical effects aren’t as good as physical ones.

Even if Zhao Xing came, he wouldn’t have a spell that could quickly break through ice.

The best spell for melting ice is fire.

Mr. Zhao’s Heavenly Fire is only at an intermediate completion level, dreaming of melting an ice layer over a dozen meters thick is simply a fool’s talk.

If he were to come, he would probably have the Grassman slowly chisel it with tools.

The Mountain Cat also followed along beside one of Long Xiao’s swords, using its paws to scrape at the ice.

Crack crack crack—very soon, the Mountain Cat had scratched out an ice hole.

However, it seemed to lack any sense of direction, burrowing down, then popping back out from another side.

"Meow?" As though it were a mole, the Mountain Cat quickly turned the previously smooth ice surface into several ice holes.

"Ao Tian, hurry up and stay inside the house, I’ll get you some fish to eat in a bit," Zhao Xing, who had a touch of OCD, couldn’t stand seeing the smooth ice surface ruined.

What Long Xiao cuts are so square and proper, chunks of neat squares that look so satisfying to look at.

A few crooked, uneven holes on top, that’s just torture for someone with OCD.

"Meow~" The Mountain Cat breathed heavily and quickly ran back into the nearby cabin.

"Long Xiao, keep the noise down when you help Mr. Ji move the ice later, there are quite a few schools of fish underneath, don’t scare them away," Zhao Xing shouted.

"Understood."

What Zhao Xing had on the ice surface was his true self.

He had a total of eighteen Ten Thousand Skill Grass Men, nine of them acting as bodyguards for Ji Zixuan and Murong Xue, the other nine following his true self around.

Now, at a kilometer beneath the sea, there were three grassman avatars observing the situation underwater.

The roots of the Azure Sea Cloud Vine had already grown down to three thousand meters and were still spreading further into the depths.

But by now, they were growing slower due to Old Chen’s High-level Strong Foundation Method.

Every five hundred meters, the roots thickened enormously, looking like bulges from a distance.

The space inside those thickened segments became larger, about a thousand square meters, as if three villas had sprouted underwater.

Zhao Xing had broken through six layers of vine walls, creating several skylights in different directions on the outermost layer.

He first threw a few Luminous Pearls out, then sealed them with the mirrors from the Qilin Flying Boat.

He then lay inside the Cloud Vine, using the Heavenly Eye Skill and the observation of Five Elements to watch the underwater world.

"Glug—"

A bubble wafted upward.

Then, a three-meter long fish with purple scales and a head that emitted a faint golden glow, resembling the shape of a long knife, swam by.

Soon after, a school of fish followed, swimming past the roots of the Cloud Vine.

"So many big fish," Zhao Xing watched, itching to take a shot, really tempted to fire a shot.

But the necessary tools were lacking at the moment, and it could easily startle the schools of fish, so he gave up the idea.

"Once the Azure Sea Cloud Vine takes root on the seabed, we can feel around the bottom to see if there are any treasures," Zhao Xing pondered.

If he could reach the seabed with Divine Movement Protection, it might come in handy.

If he could touch the ocean floor, he then could use Divine Movement Protection to borrow the power of earth veins and attempt a treasure hunt on the sea bottom.

The Spiritual Beauty of the Extreme Night Sea is not just in the fish!

.....

The sword cultivators broke the ice, the magicians cooperated to move it, lifting the chunks of ice and transporting them away piece by piece, so as not to startle the fish.

Then, Ji Ziyun set up the Ice Well Array, and the ice surface that had been drilled wouldn’t freeze over for a short time.

The whole construction took only half an hour.

Mainly because Long Xiao cut fast, and Ji Ziyun set up the array with ease.

"Splash~"

Water flowed and not long after, shadows of fish flickered by, coming up to breathe.

"Fish are already showing up before we’ve even chummed the spot?" Ji Ziyun’s face showed delight, "It seems we’ve chosen the right place... Zhao Xing, ready to start chumming?"

He was already a bit eager to start.

"Sure." Zhao Xing immediately flew to the heated shed to retrieve a stem of Water Immortal.

Water Immortal belongs to the lotus family, with tiny lotus pods but very large petals.

When it sank to the bottom of the sea, the blue petals instantly became even more translucent, and they began swaying in the cold water, spreading ripples around, creating a domain.

The schools of fish were instantly drawn in, heading towards the domain of the Water Immortal.

Once inside the domain of the Water Immortal, the schools of fish were reluctant to leave, beginning to seek mates for breeding.

Zhao Xing also scattered a bucketful of Fish-eating Grass seeds.

The gray-green seeds, upon entering the water, quickly dissolved their shells, beginning to emit a scent.

"Gurgle~ Gurgle~"

Much more bubbling appeared on the water surface, clearly indicating that fish were approaching.

Ji Ziyun, quite excited, exclaimed, "So many... Hahaha, Qilin’er, quickly cast your line!"

Xia Jing now had the important task of fishing; all five fishing rods were entrusted to him, hoping that his beginner’s luck would continue. Thus he gritted his teeth and began to cast the Shenluo fishing rod.
