Chapter 1068: Water Falling from the Sky
Sure, here is the translation of the provided text:
"I've never eaten pork, but at least I've seen pigs run. Otherwise, I'd be stung like a beehive by the jellyfish tentacles."
Tang Rao sighed with relief; luckily, he had salt.
"Tang Rao, how did you come up with this method?"
Uncle Zhou was only thinking about escaping and didn't consider how to eliminate them, especially given such a large group of jellyfish, which couldn't just be intimidated in the Endless Sea.
This was only the beginning; the jellyfish were just the appetizer. The real difficulty hadn't arrived yet.
"I've seen it before — learned a couple of tricks. Instead of asking questions randomly, it's better to leave here first, kill some jellyfish, and wait for the salt in the water to be diluted. I can't guarantee they won't come back."
Tang Rao was always cautious; his life wasn't important. The key was that he was now a father, and if he died, it wouldn't matter — except his son would call someone else father, which scared him.
"Let's continue following the waves. According to the experiences of predecessors, there should be challenges ahead."
It turns out Uncle Zhou had never been here; Tang Rao thought he had.
In the end, no one had been here before, which doubled Tang Rao's perceived risk of dying.
He started feeling disillusioned with life.
"Uncle Zhou, be honest. You wouldn't have brought us here just to let us die, right?"
Anyway, Tang Rao had suspected this more than once, and Uncle Zhou was already used to it.
"Haven't I told you about the meaning of the Endless Sea?"
If Tang Rao remembered correctly, Uncle Zhou hadn't actually mentioned it.
Yet Uncle Zhou was earnest, as if he believed he'd shared it.
"No, you haven't."
He was earnest too.
"You know the Land of Immortals beneath your feet?"
Only during a tranquil journey would Uncle Zhou take the time to introduce it to Tang Rao.
"That's obvious, of course I know."
"Ten thousand years ago, the Land of Immortals was also an Endless Sea. Later, the water in the Endless Sea decreased, revealing a large area, leading to our present. You could say the Land of Immortals is merely a part of the Endless Sea, containing significant hidden treasures and being the cleanest place. Those of us who wish to ascend to the third world must purify our minds in the Endless Sea."
The good things and mind purification cannot coexist.
Tang Rao suddenly realized that even the Land of Immortals was just a portion of the Endless Sea, which explains why the Land of Immortals has borders but the Endless Sea does not.
"I see now. No wonder so many people can survive in the Land of Immortals but can't come to the Endless Sea. Now I fully understand."
Tang Rao sighed, gaining much more confidence while looking at the road ahead.
These were stories passed down from ancient times that Uncle Zhou had heard about the Immortal Land; whether they were true, he couldn't confirm with certainty.
"Today, Grandpa Tang Rao will turn this place over, take away everything that should be taken, anyway outsiders don't know what's inside."
It's like the items in the previous Immortal Emperor's mausoleums — the principle remains the same.
He had never admitted taking things.
The Endless Sea was too vast, their speed rivaled rockets, and after an hour, the road ahead showed no signs of change.
Yet, the more they swam forward, the less water felt on them until they couldn't swim and could stand on the ground.
Did they reach the shore?
Tang Rao stood on the beach, originally thinking they had exited the Endless Sea, but they remained within it. Tang Rao first saw water flowing in the sky.
"There's something strange here!"
Old Crane had keen ears; as soon as they arrived, he sensed a peculiar ulu-lu sound. Since the sound was so unusual, he immediately recorded and analyzed it.
Unfortunately, Old Crane's sound system couldn't analyze it.
"It'd be odd if there were nothing strange."
Tang Rao helped Old Crane untangle his hair, looked at Old Crane like a simple landlord's child, then got no further results.
The silver-white beach had no debris except for occasionally growing seaweed, as well as no sight of the structures they longed to see.
"Big brother, what's your opinion?"
Old Crane felt it was too quiet here, slightly unlike the Endless Sea.
"I think it's a good spot for vacationing; by then I'll get some canoes. Those who want to play canoes, ten Immortal Stones per person, rent out a thousand canoes per day, and I'll be worry-free for life."
Tang Rao fully utilized his economic mind, calculating figures others dared not even attempt.
Old Crane didn't even know what a canoe was from Tang Rao's words, he could only partly comprehend what the boss said.
"Not good, the water from the sky is falling down!"
Old Crane felt this place shouldn't be so quiet. He was about to lament, but upon seeing the pouring flood, he was almost frightened silly with Tang Rao.
The water fell so fast that Tang Rao had just opened the protective shield when the water fell.
Except the protective shield was fine, the water swept away several people, adding to the strong impact, and there were enough fainted individuals to count.
"Every step in these places is perilous; we almost got battered to death."
Old Crane was still trembling.
He finally realized the danger of this world.
"Indeed, mustn't let you be so careless in the future."
Tang Rao said this partly as a reminder to himself.
At least Uncle Zhou and the others were stronger than Tang Rao, and if Tang Rao could protect himself promptly, Uncle Zhou and the others definitely could too.
Tang Rao hadn't expected Li Ze to be inside Uncle Zhou's protective shield.
Luckily there was Uncle Zhou; otherwise, who knows where Li Ze would have been swept away by the water.
"Thank you, Examiner Zhou."
Li Ze saluted Uncle Zhou with a military gesture, which he rarely did, especially after arriving at the Land of Immortals.
Today, he was genuinely willing, which showed how deep Li Ze's feelings for Uncle Zhou were.
Uncle Zhou might not have expected Li Ze to thank him; he'd done good deeds for a lifetime but seldom received heartfelt gratitude, so rare that hearing such gratitude made him feel uneasy inside.
"No big deal, since you're Tang Rao's brother."
If he weren't Tang Rao's brother, in a situation where his own life was threatened, Uncle Zhou wouldn't have helped Li Ze, given his long-standing principles from years of roaming the martial world.
"Uncle Zhou, I'll remember this kindness. I'll repay it someday!"
Anyone who could save Tang Rao's brother was also Tang Rao's brother. Uncle Zhou did some unpopular things in the past, but that was long ago. Seeing that person had a good heart, Tang Rao even wanted to take him to the third world.
"Then I won't be polite."
Unlike others, when Tang Rao mentioned repaying favors, where others pretended to decline, Uncle Zhou was different — he'd accept straightforwardly, and consider Tang Rao's limits, ensuring he remained within them while seeking his help.
