Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 659 - 354: The Third Divine Soldier

The Ferryman's small boat couldn't get too close to the waterfall where the Water of the Moon fell. Besides, their destination wasn't the waterfall but a whirlpool downstream from it.

No matter how much the small boat advanced, the Water of the Moon star remained the same size in Lu Yu's eyes, as if he was treading in place and not moving forward.

He saw that the water surface ahead appeared to form a slope, with the water level dropping.

According to the information input by the elder in his mind, Lu Yu knew he was close to his destination.

Not far downstream from the waterfall, a whirlpool had formed for unknown reasons, and a portion of the Water of the Moon, cascading down the waterfall, lingered at this whirlpool's center.

Lu Yu couldn't approach the waterfall, nor could he extract the scarce Water of the Moon from the vast Void Water. He could only seek a natural gathering place for the Water of the Moon.

Even so, entering the whirlpool was highly challenging.

For the entire River of the Underworld, this was an exceedingly small whirlpool, but for the Ferryman and Lu Yu, it was a colossal giant, spanning thousands of miles.

The Ferryman struggled to control the small boat's direction.

The boat maintained a straight course entering the whirlpool. The Ferryman couldn't do much but follow the swirling current, descending in a spiraling fashion.

Whoosh~ A massive black wreckage whistled past the small boat, hurtling towards the whirlpool's center faster than the eddy.

A mountainous black wreckage nearly overturned the small boat when it passed by, almost throwing the two on board into the River of the Underworld.

Lu Yu and the Ferryman exhausted every means to stabilize the capsizing small boat.

Neither Lu Yu nor the Ferryman could survive if they fell into the River of the Underworld.

In truth, no living being could survive falling in, except for the soul bodies newly born from the River of the Underworld.

The closer they got to the whirlpool's center, the faster the boat moved. The Ferryman felt anxious, as he thought it would be a simple task to deliver Lu Yu and earn the relic elder's reward.

Unexpectedly, the danger was so great that even he found it somewhat daunting.

Though the danger was immense, the Ferryman had no thoughts of giving up, maneuvering the small boat in a rush, dodging one obstacle after another until they finally reached the whirlpool's center.

The whirlpool's center was piled with numerous items swept into the swirl. The massive wreckage Lu Yu saw earlier was commonplace here, even forming a major part of the garbage mound at the whirlpool's core.

The wreckage seemed like it came from a large ship that shattered, and Lu Yu found it hard to imagine who could have sailed such a large vessel on the River of the Underworld.

The Ferryman could navigate the River of the Underworld due to their special status, acting as workers protected by the River of the Underworld in some sense.

Otherwise, a small boat would have capsized countless times.

Danger in the River of the Underworld was beyond imagination, but the protected small boat hadn't encountered it yet.

Bam~ The small boat collided with the wreckage, violently shaking before wedging into the wreckage's cracks, coming to a stop.

The Ferryman secured the small boat to the wreckage and said to Lu Yu, "Go in and search. I'll only wait for half a day. If you don't return before dark, I'll have to leave first."

Lu Yu nodded, expressing approval, and walked quickly toward the debris island.

He jumped onto a wreckage more than ten meters high; it swayed momentarily before stabilizing, allowing Lu Yu to stand atop, gazing at the entire garbage mound.

The Water of the Moon he sought was at the garbage mound's base, and he needed to find a path that would lead him into and deep within the mound.

Thud, thud~ Lu Yu stomped hard on the unknown wreckage fragments, feeling the powerful reactive force beneath his feet.

The wreckage was extremely sturdy, difficult for him to damage, even with his strength.

Observing the wreckage's jagged breaks, torn asunder by overwhelming forces, Lu Yu remained silent, realizing the dangers of the River of the Underworld exceeded his imagination.

After some observation, Lu Yu headed toward the center of the garbage island.

It was more like hopping from one piece of wreckage to another, as he still sensed the splashes of Void Water around him.

The Void Water splattering on his arm was icy, chilling him to the bone.

Lu Yu squeezed through the cracks between two pieces of wreckage, steadily advancing toward the island's center.

Bam~ Lu Yu laboriously pushed aside two smaller fragments ahead, finding a pathway to continue forward.

Eventually, Lu Yu came to a gap with a water pool. Through the crevice above the pool, he saw a surface ahead emanating a deep azure glow.

The Sun Star within him slightly trembled, as if sensing the distant echo of the Moon Star's power.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up with excitement. "Finally found it."

He hurriedly moved forward, standing at the pool's edge, squatted down, and reached out to touch the mysterious water surface.

Ripples spread from his fingertips, and he seemed to witness that azure star hanging over the River of the Underworld.

Crackle~ Frost spread across his arm, and in an instant, ice crystals formed on Lu Yu's eyebrows.

His heart rate quickened, his blood surged faster, and Qi Blood boiled, a warm energy rising within him, dispelling the cold.

Relying on his body's automatic resistance wasn't enough to counteract the intense cold from the Water of the Moon.

Lu Yu suppressed his body's instinctual responses, slowed his heart rate, and executed the eighth-layer technique.

The icy aura entered his body, sprawling along his arm, seemingly intent on freezing him entirely.
