Chapter 186: Insights on Breaking the Barrier
Southwest of Shaohua Mountain.
In the middle of a tranquil water expanse, the horizon stretched seamlessly in every direction, east, south, west, and north, where the sky met the water. The view was vast and unbroken, with no sign of even a small island, making it seem particularly desolate.
A gentle breeze stirred, rippling the water’s surface, lending a peaceful, unthreatening appearance to the place.
Suddenly, subtle ripples appeared in the air above the water, almost imperceptible to the naked eye. A moment later, three figures materialized out of thin air—Qin Sang and the Le Sisters, who had stealthily arrived.
"Senior Qin, Sage Cangli’s cave dwelling lies right below here."
Le Xing and Le Rou remarked softly, pointing toward a specific spot in the water.
They had struck a deal in Granny Jing’s presence, leaving the tree root at the secret shop. Qin Sang’s task was to dismantle the barrier around Sage Cangli’s cave dwelling, and then the items would be theirs.
Qin Sang scanned the surroundings. Not only was there no sign of an island within sight, but the area within hundreds of li was utterly remote. Testing the water’s depth with his spiritual consciousness, he found it so deep he couldn't reach the bottom.
The trio activated their water evading method and dove in, descending toward the lake’s depths. The Le Sisters led the way, clearly well-acquainted with the location, likely having visited multiple times before.
