Chapter 378 341: Dripping Water Wears Through Stone
For the next two days, Tian Lin rested in the high sky.
He found that in just half a month, more and more people had gathered in the sea.
None of these people were on boats; most of them were sliding across the sea on giant swords.
"Are they Sword Sect's Sword Cultivators? Why are these people here for no apparent reason?"
Tian Lin didn't think they were cultivating, as these people were just surfing on the sea without stopping at all.
They neither inhaled nor stopped to practice, instead, they seemed to be
These people had to rely on their strength to dispel the Sword Qi surrounding them, so even as Nascent Soul experts, their speed was no faster than Tian Lin. Some were even slower than Tian Lin.
"Why is the ice formed by this Sword Qi so thick this time?"
A month had passed, and Tian Lin's cultivation had already reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment.
His Sea of Consciousness was much broader and wider than ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"My spiritual sense can't penetrate the ice barrier to probe outside, and the oxygen isn't very sufficient. If this goes on, even as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I fear I'll die with regret on the spot!"
Tian Lin never imagined he would run out of oxygen after entering the sea!
Typically, for someone in the late-stage Foundation Establishment, the oxygen in the water was enough to absorb.
From his cultivation journey thus far, Tian Lin had never heard of a Foundation Establishment cultivator suffocating to death. He feared he might become the one who died from lack of oxygen—a joke that might echo even after his death.
Another half month passed, and Tian Lin began to feel slightly breathless. Yet, he still couldn't sense any sign of the ice layer breaking.
The ice layer formed by this Sword Qi doesn't belong to water nor can it be melted by fire.
Earth excavation or thunder have no effect on this Sword Qi without exception.
The only way to break the ice was to devour the Sword Qi—but that was incredibly time-consuming.
"Actually, there's no need to scramble randomly; no matter how thick the ice, perseverance can wear it down!"
Tian Lin realized he had been mistaken before!
Because of the lack of oxygen, he had always been thinking about getting out.
But on further thought, not being able to get out didn't mean he couldn't acquire oxygen!
He stopped trying to clear a path for himself and instead used his spiritual sense to probe and erode a hole about the size of a needle's eye.
This way, his speed in penetrating the hard ice increased. Within just half a month, he had bored through two zhang of thick ice. The needle-sized holes weren't enough to form a path for Tian Lin to move through.
But the needle-sized holes were enough to let water trickle into the ice.
With water, Tian Lin no longer worried about oxygen deprivation.
As long as there was enough oxygen, Tian Lin wasn't afraid of not being able to escape this iceberg.
