Xu Chunniang was prepared this time. She practiced the water-avoiding technique, but her situation was not much better than before.
The pressure brought by the extremely deep waters was so great that the Water Avoidance Technique only lasted for less than half a breath before it was completely destroyed.
Xu Chunniang was not surprised at all. Such heavy pressure could even crush the spiritual barrier, let alone a mere water-avoiding technique
She used this water-avoidance technique just to give Xiaobai and Xiaojuzi some buffer time.
Because of the improvement in the degree of refining of the one-yuan heavy water, the pressure she felt this time was less than last time, and the speed of her body's collapse slowed down a little.
Xu Chunniang turned around to check on Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai. Xiaojuzi has always been tough and strong, but now he can't bear it anymore.
As for Xiaobai, it was even more miserable. Large amounts of blood were oozing from its body, and even the corners of its eyes and mouth were streaked with red.
If it stays there any longer, I'm afraid the heavy pressure will damage its internal organs.
Xu Chunniang frowned and threw Xiaobai back into the small world. When she was about to catch Xiaojuzi, it shrank back and avoided her hand.
Blood was oozing from its fur, but it was too stubborn to leave.
"I don't want to go back. I can bear it. It's good for me to stay here."
Xu Chunniang realized that what Xiaojuzi meant was that it could barely withstand the environment here and could use the heavy pressure to strengthen its body.
After checking the condition of the little orange, she frowned slightly, reached out and picked it up and swam upwards.
"The pressure here is still too strong for us. Let's find a more suitable place."
As she continued to move upwards, the water pressure she was under gradually reduced, and Xiaojuzi's expression gradually relaxed.
Occasionally, we would sense some monsters along the way. They were all aquatic monsters like monster fish. Their aura was not weak, and their cultivation was probably no less than the late stage of foundation building.
There were also some Jindan-stage monsters that appeared around from time to time.
Xu Chunniang tried her best to project her spiritual awareness outward, and once she sensed that a Jindan-stage demon was approaching, she would immediately take Xiaojuzi and avoid it.
Fighting in an environment with heavy pressure from water on all sides was undoubtedly disadvantageous to her.
However, luck did not stay with her for too long, as a water snake in the Jindan stage followed her after sensing her presence.
It was extremely fast and caught up with her and Xiaojuzi in less than a quarter of an hour.
Since she couldn't get rid of it, Xu Chunniang had to fight with it.
Under water, these aquatic monsters naturally have the upper hand, not to mention that this giant snake has been in deep sea waters all year round and has long adapted to the surrounding environment, and has extremely strong muscles, bones, and flesh.
Even when Xu Chunniang and Xiaojuzi joined forces, they were still no match for this Jindan-stage water snake.
Ordinary magic spells and spiritual weapons cannot even break its skin.
Only the map of mountains and rivers, chains, the falling heart flame, and the pale blue light curtain in Little Orange's hand that can devour everything can compete with it.
The big snake also felt the difficulty of its prey, especially the bright yellow flame, which burned its skin.
There was a human-like doubt in its eyes. The two auras were obviously very weak, but the means they used were very powerful, which made it terrified.
The water snake finally gave up on this tough nut to crack, and with the help of the water it swung its body away and disappeared.
The threat was lifted, and Xu Chunniang breathed a sigh of relief. Although the magic weapon and the Meteorite Heart Flame were very powerful, the spiritual energy they consumed was also huge.
If the big snake had stayed frozen for a little longer, it would have been time for her and Little Orange to escape back to their small world.
The sea is not safe after all, especially since she and Xiaojuzi have very little spiritual energy left and have been under the pressure of the water for so long.
After the big snake left, Xu Chunniang finally returned to the small world with Xiaojuzi.
This time he stayed in the water for a longer time, but because his physical strength had increased, the injuries he suffered were much less serious than last time.
After only three days of rest, her injuries were completely healed, and the degree of refining of the one-yuan heavy water was further improved.
Three days later, Little Orange was already full of energy.
It was originally more seriously injured than Xu Chunniang, but after a good sleep and a large meal of spiritual food and wine, it recovered.
What surprised Xu Chunniang even more was Xiaobai. The last time it was thrown back into the small world, blood oozed from its mouth and nose, and its internal organs were almost damaged.
But after sleeping for three days, Xiaobai's injuries had recovered by 90%.
Seeing Xu Chunniang's surprised expression, Xiaojuzi shook her head, looking like she was very ignorant.
In essence, spiritual beasts are no different from demon beasts.
The physical strength and recovery ability of monsters are far superior to those of cultivators.
The power of a cultivator's soul and consciousness is much greater than that of monsters.
As unique beasts among monsters, it and Xiaobai are incomparable to ordinary monsters in terms of qualifications and potential.
After Xu Chunniang figured it out, she recalled that when she was taking Xiaojuzi to the outer sea, they had also encountered some powerful monsters in the late foundation building stage.
Since they can survive under the heavy pressure of the water, Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai may be able to slowly adapt to this pressure.
Before, she had left Xiaojuzi and Xiaobai in the small world to roam freely, and just wanted them to improve their realm, which was really too one-sided.
So when Xiaobai insisted on going out with her again, Xu Chunniang did not refuse. She picked up one in each hand and brought them out.
The place she came out from now was exactly where she fought with the Jindan stage snake last time. The snake disappeared three days ago, and there was only darkness and silence around.
After feeling the pressure for a while, the little orange showed a look of satisfaction. It felt that it could bear this level of pressure.
Xu Chunniang felt the intensity of the water pressure around her, which was about half as strong as the first place she was in.
With her level of physical training, her life would not be in danger if she stayed longer.
I just don’t know if Xiaobai can bear it
As she thought about this, she looked at Xiaobai, only to find that under the heavy pressure, Xiaobai's cultivation had actually broken through!
Xiaobai's cultivation has remained at the second level of foundation building for several years. Logically, it should take several months or even half a year to break through.
But under the heavy pressure of the water area, Xiaobai resisted with all his strength and instead broke through his cultivation level ahead of time.
Spiritual energy continued to flow towards Xiaobai, and its aura increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This process lasted for a full hour before it finally stopped, and Xiaobai's cultivation was stabilized at the third level of foundation building.
It was happy for a while, and then continued to resist the pressure from the surrounding area, looking like it was adapting well.
Seeing that Xiaobai was fine, Xu Chunniang used her spiritual sense to investigate again, and confirmed that the commotion caused by Xiaobai did not attract other monsters. Only then did she feel relieved and began to sense the pressure around her.
Compared to before, her body strength increased and the weight of the water was reduced by half.
As one thing increases while the other decreases, the pressure felt is less than one-third of the initial level.
This level of pressure is just right for practicing the Five Elements Body Building Technique.
