Xuantian Sea

Xuantian Sea (玄天海)
== Description ==
Suddenly, heaven and earth began to tremble. Everyone hastily looked toward the basin, only to see a huge whirlpool appear. A terrifying pressure caused their hearts to tremble.
The whirlpool grew larger and larger. Endless astral winds crazily billowed out like ocean waves. Even from the edge, they felt like it was hard to breathe. They involuntarily retreated a few steps.
"This wind..." Long Chen's heart shook.
The whirlpool at the basin grew larger as the vice sect master spoke. The wind was like a tide. It truly appeared like a vast sea.
"Long Chen, this tide contains endless wind energy. It's a priceless treasure to me." Tang Wan-er pulled on Long Chen's hand excitedly.
"This tide contains the will of the Sword Dao. I can sense a majestic sword intent within it that is of great assistance to me!" said Yue Zifeng.
The others were also extremely excited. They could all sense things for themselves. But Long Chen was startled. Why couldn't he sense anything?
After another hour, everyone saw that the tide had become extremely clear. Furthermore, it was now split into different colors. The outer region was white, and then it was blue, red, and then the very core was violet.
Gradually, the wind transformed into sea waves. However, this sea wasn't made of water, but wind. Everyone finally understood how the glossy ground had come about.
== Enter the Vortex ==
"Alright, the Xuantian Sea has formed. You can choose for yourselves what region of the sea you want to stay in," announced the vice sect master.
Following his words, several people immediately went in to take a path. But they had only just entered when they were blown back by the wild winds. Those who were stronger merely vomited a mouthful of blood, while those that were weaker directly fainted.
"With their intelligence, it really is amazing they're still alive," sighed Long Chen. Long Chen really wondered how these people had managed to reach this level of cultivation.
One of those people had actually put on a dashing posture of diving into water, as if these waves were ordinary waves. As a result, just by trying to enter the edge of the whirlpool, he almost directly blew apart. People sympathized, but they were also speechless.
As for the vice sect master and the other experts, they simply watched without the slightest emotion. Most likely, they had held this trial so many times that they had long since grown indifferent to this situation.
Following a few dozen unlucky fellows who paid a miserable price, the others became smarter and entered the waves carefully.
As soon as they entered, quite a few people's expressions changed. These waves contained a powerful pressure that was exerting a constant force on their bodies, making it feel like the waves were trying to tear them apart.
Just carefully entering little by little took everything they had. They couldn't help feeling admiration for those ‘brave warriors' who had tested it just now for them.
The people who managed to enter all had expressions of delight. It was obvious they had to be obtaining great benefits right now.
== Benefits ==
Long Chen led the thirty-sixth supermonastery's disciples into the basin. When the waves landed on his body, he finally understood why those people were all so excited.
Within these waves were all the various energies of heaven and earth. Huo Long and Lei Long almost charged out on their own.
"Don't fuss. I'll help you absorb it as much as possible." Long Chen hastily tried to control them. If they charged out, they would be too frightening, especially Lei Long.
During the tribulation last time, Lei Long had absorbed all the human-shaped lightnings. Its strength had reached a level that even Long Chen found terrifying. Although Huo Long had beast flames to absorb energy from, compared to Lei Long, the difference was immense. There was no way around it. Lei Long had had far too much food to consume.
To compare, Lei Long had eaten meat, while Huo Long was consuming tree bark and grass. One was so fat that oil was about to come out of it, while the other was skin and bones. They were not on the same level.
"What dense wind energy!" exclaimed Tang Wan-er.
Long Chen knew that this ‘sea' contained endless benefits. And the deeper you went, the greater the benefits.
Even cultivators without an element could use the energy here to temper the physical body, stabilize the foundation, and comprehend the Heavenly Daos. Shui Wuhen had been entirely correct when she said that this was an immense opportunity.
This kind of opportunity was something only an enormous existence like the Xuantian Dao Sect had the qualifications to give. This was the power of a huge sect, power that other sects could never hope to obtain.
== Regions ==
"Heavens, Yue Qianshan has already reached the blue region!"
The Xuantian Sea's outer region took up tens of thousands of miles, while the core region was only a few hundred miles. That core was the violet region.
Outside the core region was a red region. This region was three thousand miles wide. Then there was the blue region which was ten thousand miles wide.
The rest was the white region. This was the largest region, and it was because it was all white that it looked more like coastal waters. This was the weakest region.
However, for these people, going through this white region would require pausing every now and then in order to adjust to the new pressure. Only then could they continue.
Long Chen raised his head to see a back with a sword on it in the distance. That figure had just charged into the blue region.
== Bone Shattering ==
"Long Chen is giving them a huge opportunity. This Xuantian Sea is something our Xuantian Dao Sect used one hundred and eight thousand spirit gathering formations to form. Those formations extracted the five regions' most primal energies to create this tide.
"Within it is a trace of heaven and earth's purest form of energy. Long Chen is having these people completely rebuild their skeletons in hopes that they can absorb a trace of that primal energy in the process.
"That primal energy can increase their chances of becoming Celestials in the future. And even if they can't become Celestials, they'll still have unlimited prospects once they reach Sea Expansion. They'll advance much easier than others.
"If you're ignorant, then keep your mouths shut! As monastery heads, how can you not use your heads when speaking? It's no wonder the disciples you raised are so stupid!"
Everyone trembled. This was their first time hearing the vice sect master explain the origin of the Xuantian Sea. They hadn't known any of this before.
"Then vice sect master, doesn't that mean we could use the Xuantian Sea to create more Celestials?" asked the Wang family head.
The vice sect master sighed, "How could it be so simple? First of all, ordinary disciples aren't even able to get close to the storm zone. You can see that even rank one Celestials aren't able to do so, let alone them.
"Only the storm zone's energy is pure enough. Only that energy is able to allow the ordinary disciples to reforge completely new bones.
"Only rank two Celestials have the qualifications to enter that zone. If it were you, would you have your peerless geniuses waste their time on ordinary disciples? And even if you ordered it, would they really give up on such a huge opportunity to help others? It's simply not possible."
Hearing this, everyone became silent. People were selfish. People might do favors for others if the cost was low. But as for sacrificing themselves to only help out others, that would just be a joke.
"Even if rank two Celestials did sacrifice their time to help others, it still wouldn't do anything," said the vice sect master.
"Why not?"
"Because to use the energy here to reforge your bones completely requires you to endure the pain of all your bones shattering for a total of nine times. Without a strong enough will, a person will either die or go crazy!"
"Nine times?!" The experts here felt like they might go crazy. Just hearing this was frightening. This was too vicious.
"There's no way around it. Without talent, without resources, without a powerful backer, those who want to have higher accomplishments than others must put in more effort than others."
== Time Window ==
Previously, the Xuantian Sea would stay open for at least seven days each time it was activated. But this time, it disappeared after just three days?
Even the vice sect master's expression was grim. After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Perhaps countless powerhouses are soaring within the Xuantian Dao Sect!"
"The Xuantian Sea is activated at all five regions at the same time. Their energies are connected. In all the previous trials, it had enough energy to last seven to ten days. When the Xuantian Sea's energy is exhausted to a certain point, it automatically disappears.
