An immense and unparalleled suction force, like a black hole, frantically sucked in the surrounding thick fog.
Thick wisps of fog surged wildly from all directions toward the Haotian Tower and into it.
The scene was absolutely stunning!
What Li Yao and Xiao Bai didn't expect was that there was just too much dense fog around them.
It took Haotian Tower nearly half an hour to completely remove the thick fog from this sea area.
"I didn't expect this Haotian Tower to be so useful!"
Xiao Bai smiled gently.
"The Haotian Tower can even suck in gods, let alone a mere thick fog."
Li Yao smiled as well.
As he spoke, he listened intently and pointed ahead, saying, "There's some noise ahead, let's go check it out."
Then, he patted the yellow bird on the back and said, "Little Yellow, fly over there quickly."
The yellow bird flapped its two huge wings and flew in the direction Li Yao was pointing.
Soon, Li Yao and Xiao Bai heard a rumbling sound coming from afar.
The further they flew, the louder the sound became.
Before long, they saw the waves rolling on the sea ahead, shaking the earth like a mountain collapsing.
The seawater within a radius of tens of miles was being rotated continuously around a central point by an inexplicable force.
The closer to the center, the faster the seawater rotates.
This enormous whirlpool seemed to be connecting the surface of the sea with the seabed.
In this whirlpool, even the most skilled swimmers would probably be torn to shreds.
"This must be the East China Sea Whirlpool!"
Xiao Bai pointed to the huge vortex and spoke.
"Hmm, but this East China Sea whirlpool is well hidden."
"If it weren't for the Haotian Tower absorbing the thick fog, we probably wouldn't have found this place for a while."
Li Yao looked at the enormous vortex descending to earth and sighed.
Indeed, when there was thick fog, he didn't hear a sound at all.
However, when he used the Haotian Tower to absorb all the thick fog, he heard a huge sound produced by the vortex.
This shows that the dense fog was actually able to absorb the sound.
However, Li Yao did not want to alarm the God Realm and the Heavenly Emperor at this moment.
Therefore, it would be best for him to keep his trip to the East China Sea whirlpool secret this time.
So he threw the Haotian Pagoda into the air again, and with a series of hand seals, the Haotian Pagoda began to spin rapidly in the air.
This time, however, it's rotating in the opposite direction.
Thick fog billowed from the base of the tower, and soon the sea area was once again shrouded in fog.
Strangely enough, there was not a trace of fog around the vortex.
"I never expected that such a simple whirlpool would have so much to it. It seems that those imprisoned here must be important figures."
Xiao Bai guessed.
"Yes, the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi had to maintain the positive image of the divine realm as benevolent, while also firmly controlling the order of the human realm, the immortal realm, and the demon realm."
"That's why he set up this inescapable trap in the East China Sea, specifically to imprison those who defy the divine realm."
Li Yao said thoughtfully.
"Husband, are you planning to release all the people imprisoned here?"
Xiao Bai asked curiously.
"Why? Why should I let them go?"
"I can't be bothered with their messy affairs."
Li Yao shrugged and laughed.
"Then why did you travel all this way here?"
Xiao Bai continued to press for answers.
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "I just want to confirm a suspicion I have in my heart."
"What suspicion?"
Xiao Bai asked curiously.
"You'll know once I've confirmed it!"
Li Yao smiled mysteriously.
"snort!"
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes at Li Yao and said, "You're just being mysterious!"
"Enough talk, let's go inside and take a look!"
As he spoke, Li Yao flipped the ring in his hand and put the yellow bird into his spatial storage.
Immediately, he and Xiaobai plummeted downwards, drawing them into the massive passage formed by the underwater whirlpool.
The roar of the swirling seawater was even more powerful than the volcanic eruption at the bottom of the Xuanhuo Altar in the world of Jade Dynasty.
The surrounding waves were surging and powerful; the seawater could probably crush a person to death if it came crashing down.
As the saying goes: there is no wind at the center of a tornado, and there is no water at the center of a whirlpool in the East China Sea.
Therefore, even after going very deep, Li Yao and Xiao Bai did not get a single drop of water on them.
Not far below, the seabed can already be seen.
The seabed split open, forming a huge canyon.
Within that underwater canyon, one can vaguely see a magnificent ancient city.
The ancient city was solemn and dignified, and the materials used in its construction were unknown. Above the ancient city, a huge hemispherical protective shield enveloped it.
Although it seemed like there were few people in the city, Li Yao naturally knew that this place was not simple.
Because he had already sensed many powerful auras around him.
However, those auras posed no threat to Li Yao and Xiao Bai.
Chapter 501 The Immortal's Intoxication
Li Yao did not intend to disturb the divine realm or the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi during his trip to the East China Sea whirlpool.
Therefore, he and Xiaobai did not rashly venture into the ancient city in the whirlpool of the East China Sea.
They landed far away in a secluded spot on the seabed, and Li Yao began to use his divine sense to explore the situation inside and outside the ancient city.
"No, this ancient city is protected by a barrier, making it impossible to investigate what's inside."
Li Yao shook his head and said softly.
"I never imagined that such a simple East China Sea whirlpool would have so many intricacies, with thick fog, a whirlpool, and a barrier!"
Xiao Bai murmured in surprise.
"However, a mere barrier is nothing more than a deaf man's ear to us, just a decoration."
Li Yao smiled.
As he spoke, he gave Xiaobai a wink, and then the two of them moved and instantly appeared in a hidden spot outside the city wall.
Li Yao gestured with his right hand, and another pen with a pointed tip appeared in his hand.
This writing implement was transformed from the Overlord's Divine Spear.
He poured his spiritual energy into the pen, and a faint blue light began to shimmer on it.
He used the tip of his pen to lightly trace a few lines on the invisible barrier before him.
Soon, he drew a door as tall as a person through the barrier.
However, the barrier was not broken as a result.
He only broke the barrier of this area, like opening a door in a wall; the rest of the wall remained unaffected.
In this way, he could enter the barrier without anyone noticing.
It's actually not that difficult to do this.
Li Yao now has a deep understanding of barriers. He concentrates his spiritual power at the tip of the pen, breaking through the surface with a single point, which can generate tremendous power.
This power is concentrated in only one area.
Therefore, it will not cause a huge commotion, nor will it affect other places.
Li Yao and Xiao Bai entered the barrier one after the other, and Li Yao used his divine sense to explore it again.
He discovered that there were about forty or fifty golden-armored guards near the city gate of the ancient city.
These guards must have been sent by the gods to guard this place and watch over the prisoners held here.
If it were just these guards, it would be easy to deal with.
However, as the saying goes, if you beat the young one, the old one will follow.
If Li Yao and Xiao Bai manage to deal with these guards, it will likely attract the attention of others.
At that time, it will surely alarm the divine realm.
It seems we'll have to find another way!
Li Yao's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with an idea.
