Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

No matter how much I absorbed the energy within the Spirit Jade Pool, I did not feel like I would break through once more. Maybe I was already at the tipping point, and I just did not realize. But all this energy was strengthening my body somehow.

I could feel my mind grow a little clearer with every passing second. It was like this energy was not completely Qi. It was another energy. It just felt weird. Maybe it had something to do with the Xiantian realm was well, but I did not want to think that far ahead right now.

Too much time had passed already. In taking in all of the energy, I lost track of time. Not more than a day remained for my time here. Around me, there was no one. Cai Lien and Du Xiangling were long gone. I was the only one in the pool.

The pool still tried to resist me a little, stopping me from going further down. But, I tried to force myself. Pushing towards this invisible barrier by strengthening my body with Qi, I slowly started descending down the Pool.

It was dark around. I could not open my mouth. Surviving without breathing was already a big deal. Unfortunately, I could not voice my thoughts out loud in the pool. The Qi within my body escaped a little, forming a layer of glowing light around me. It helped me see what was around me to a meter at most. But that was enough for me. It was more than enough, in fact.

The bottom was still not visible. Even after half an hour of descending, the bottom was not within sight.

"Just how deep is the water? It can't be that deep. It feels like it is almost a thousand feet in depth. That is a terrifying amount. Even my body cannot handle the pressure at this depth. It is starting to crack." I thought to myself.

There must have been a reason that no one within the city lord mansion knew the secret of the spirit jade pool. The pressure deep down was too much for me to handle. I could feel my lungs cave in slightly. Even though I did not need to breathe now, I needed to breath once I left the pool.

Ping!

"System suggests Host to start using the Heaven Devouring Art now." the system suddenly said.

I nodded, and started performing the Heaven Devouring Art.

Pfft!

I almost coughed out. The influx of some mysterious energy was too much for me to handle. I did not expect so much energy to just rush in! The density of energy at this depth was more than ten times what it was at the surface. That was a terrifying difference.

All of a sudden, I heard a sound. Something broke inside of me. Something that was extremely close to my ears. It was deafening. It felt like the raging sea was just inside my own head! I put my hands cupped over my ears, but it made exactly no difference.

Mrgh!

I struggled in the water, shaking.

"What happened? Something happened inside my body. What the hell is that sound? Waves crashing? It isn't from around me. It is coming from inside me!" I thought to myself.

"Mmmmrgh!" I heard a sound. This wasn't from me. I knew that much. But it was from inside me as well. This was too terrifying.

"You awoke a spirit sea at the age of seventeen. You are a very talented human." a voice said.

"Who- grrh" water drowned my mouth the moment I opened it.

"You are an idiot though. I talked with you within your own mind. Why did you want to actually talk to me physically? You should talk to me mentally, should you not?" the same voice said.

"Who are you? What is going on here?" I frantically said, in my mind this time.

"I am the one that you saved all this time ago. Saving is an overstatement. After almost killing me, you helped incubate me. I must thank you for this favor. It is one that I will pay you back. Definetly." the voice said.

"You are the being within the egg? The system said that you were trying to talk to me, but I was not strong enough to understand you. What was that all about?" I asked.

"You can understand me because you have the spirit sea now. I want to talk with you, as there is much to ask. But you are in a very precarious position. You broke through in this Spirit Jade Pool that I overheard you thinking about. This is too much energy. You need to calm your mind and your spirit sea. Quickly, chant the verses that I am giving you. You will need them to survive." the voice said.

"I will trust you for now. Well, you literally are within me, so there isn't much that I can do, is there?" I said.

"Fine then. Repeat after me. Leniret animum..."

It was a language that I did not understand. But that was not the issue right now. Without changing a single syllable, I copied his words. Immediately, the sound of the raging sea quieted down. I took my hands off my ears. I could finally relax a little, although I could not take any breaths.

"You are not out of trouble yet. You still need to take in the energy around you and heal your body. That is the reason that you were doing this were you not. To heal your body to withstand the pressure. Go further down. You are almost there. Most will stop at this point, but there is only a little more to go. You just need to go a few meters further, and you will be able to find what you seek." the voice said.

"Thank you, but why are you helping me this much? You do not know me at all." I asked.

"Because our lives are intertwined. For me to survive now, I need you to survive. I need you to grow stronger. Now, go further down." the voice said.
