Chapter 1138 The Origins Behind the Silent Deep Shadow Sea
That is an ancient tradition so ancient that its origins can be traced back to countless billions of years ago.

perhaps.

When it was first born.

There are hardly any living people in the entire [Shuiyan Silver Sea], which is still in a period of constant warfare between various races vying for dominance.

Moreover, the moment the other party is obtained and all relevant information is absorbed.

Ling Wuyuan then realized that this so-called "Deadly Shadow Sea" was indeed born from him.

The same reason.

The Shadow Fish, a special race that exists in the unique environment of the Dead Deep Shadow Sea, was actually born and existed because of a small amount of power that was actively leaked out from that ancient inheritance.

For them.

That ancient tradition is their light and heat.

Essentially.

The actual status of those [Deep Shadow Fish] is equivalent to the basic test and basic protection that comes with that ancient tradition.

Just like how, next to various treasures, there are often a few monsters that act as permanent NPCs...

In other words.

The very purpose of those [Deep Shadow Fish] is to die, to die protecting this legacy.

This is the significance of the birth of the [Deep Shadow Fish].

Only those strong enough to kill it and venture into the deep sea are qualified to undergo further trials.

Furthermore, once the powerful figures have decisively killed those [Deep Shadow Demon Fish], as long as no one acquires the inheritance within a certain period of time, a new guardian will automatically be conceived to serve as a replacement.

Those are different from the [Deep Shadow Fish], but their strength is no weaker than other types of guardians.

As for the natural environment of the Dead Deep Shadow Sea, the reason it has evolved into its current form is entirely based on the transformation of that ancient tradition.

The opponent will automatically modify the natural environment of the area where it is located, and even distort the natural rules to some extent, thereby creating a specific trial ground that is more suitable for the guardian to put tests on each entrant.

This is the main reason why the [Deadly Deep Shadow Sea] has been able to exist for so long.

Even though countless powerful individuals have ventured deep into the area to explore and even actively kill its guardians over the years, the [Silent Deep Shadow Sea] will remain a truly dangerous place as long as the relevant inheritance has not been obtained.

It's only safe for a certain period of time at most.

Its nature is similar to certain intractable diseases that can never be cured unless the source is found.

now.

The inheritance was then taken away without complaint.

Although the current situation will remain unchanged for the time being in the [Deadly Deep Shadow Sea].

It looks much the same as usual.

However, once the relevant capabilities contained within are exhausted, the entire sea area will gradually evolve into an ordinary sea area.

of course.

The time required for the entire process.

It will definitely not be three or five years; it will inevitably need to be based on hundreds of millions of years.

Furthermore, the residual energy from this process could potentially give birth to a dozen or even dozens of guardians with the strength of the [Void Realm]...

Other than that.

There is one more thing worth mentioning.

That is, by looking at the information recorded in that ancient tradition.

Long before Ling Wuyuan found the other party.

Actually, three other guys successfully bypassed the guardians and found the cave.

But without exception.

They are all dead.

They died due to insufficient qualifications and inadequate carrying capacity.

When those guys received the inheritance, not only did they fail to fully refine it and make it their own, but they were instead refined by the inheritance itself, unfortunately becoming some kind of automatically delivered supplement... And each of those guys was actually at a higher level than Ling Wuyuan before. They were all just one step away from the [Celestial Realm], similar to Yan Manyan on the eve of her advancement.

therefore.

While it's good to pass on traditions, it's also important to preserve them.

But whether or not they can handle it is another matter entirely.

The intention to leave behind a successor was quite clear back then.

If you can handle it, then you deserve the benefits.

If you can't handle it, then you, lacking self-awareness, deserve to die on the spot.

There was absolutely no room for tact or mercy in this matter.
-
now.

As someone who is returning home.

This is because Ling Wuyuan had already agreed to tell Yan Manyan about the relevant situation.

As an honest person, he had no intention of lying.

Instead, he simply gave a rather brief account of what he had experienced in the [Deadly Deep Shadow Sea].

of course.

He definitely omitted the more sensitive parts.

In this regard.

Yan Manyan did not investigate further.

After all, people have varying degrees of closeness and distance.

Yan Manyan naturally wouldn't delve into such a sensitive issue.

Not long after.

Yan Manyan then learned the general outline of the matter, and with a look of deep agreement, she muttered to herself:
"So that's how it is. The [Silent Deep Shadow Sea] is actually a trial ground automatically created by some ancient tradition..."

"Some guys were right after all..."

That was a rather obvious tone of emotion.

It just goes to show that everyone has a brain.

Therefore, it's not just one or two people who have long noticed that the environment of the [Deadly Deep Shadow Sea] is somewhat off.

to the opposite.

There were actually quite a few people who noticed something was wrong.

This has even sparked a great deal of speculation.

There exists some incredibly powerful ancient tradition within it, which is one of the mainstream viewpoints among various conjectures.

It was already widely circulated in the [Shuiyan Silver Sea] many years ago.

However, given that the [Deadly Deep Shadow Sea] is indeed a dangerous place where it's easy to enter but difficult to leave, and considering that no one has ever discovered any ancient heritage there, people can only fantasize about it during their leisure time. Few people actually regard these various speculations as something significant or a great opportunity worthy of in-depth research.

Even if it's Yanmanyan.

In the early years, I only explored the [Deadly Deep Shadow Sea] once with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

No one is truly stubborn enough to fight to the bitter end here.

After all... the history of the [Deadly Deep Shadow Sea] is just too long.

Faced with such a long history, everyone understands perfectly well that even if there truly is some extraordinary legacy within the [Silent Deep Shadow Sea], the very fact that it has survived for so many years is enough to demonstrate that obtaining it is genuinely incredibly difficult...

Bottom line.

The existence of the other party represents countless failed explorations by powerful individuals over a long period of time.

So many ancient sages racked their brains but couldn't do it, so what makes you think you can?

Therefore, instead of aimlessly struggling here, we might as well find a different goal.
