"No, I meant the energy aura in the water. It seems to be several times more powerful than usual, and it grows stronger the closer you get to the bottom of theke. I think... this might be a special energy source."


    "What?"


    Wilbur was shocked. Energy aura was extremely important to a cultivator, and the energy aura in Buck Town was so weak that Wilbur and Felix had hardly progressed with their cultivation even after a whole year.


    Just a few days ago, Wilbur had mocked that at the speed they were going, they would nevere close to the elites of the Eight Great Families even if they had ten thousand years.


    It seemed like there was hope after all, and this was his chance. Wilbur dove into the water at once, swimming downward quickly. Theke was far deeper than he had expected. He had yet to reach the bottom even after swimming two hundred meters downward.


    Nevertheless, Wilbur was thrilled. He found that the energy aura was stronger the deeper he dived, and by the time he had passed the two-hundred-meter mark, the energy aura was a thousand times more powerful than it was outside.


    If he could collect the energy aura here, he would be able to speed up his cultivation greatly.


    Wilbur dove deeper excitedly and finally neared the bottom of theke after roughly three hundred meters deeper. Wilbur scanned the bottom of theke, then decided to turn around and go back up to get a breath of fresh air beforeing down again.


    Just as he turned, a chill ran up his ankle. Wilbur looked down but saw nothing around his legs, so he continued swimming upward. Suddenly, he felt his neck tighten as an overwhelming energy struck him and yanked him to the bottom of theke.


    Confused, Wilbur looked down again. There was nothing around his legs or his neck. He kicked hard and began to move upward before being yanked back down once again in the next moment. The chill on his ankles seemed to be spreading up his calves like vines. They spread up to his thigh and made their way to his waist, along with a deathly chill.


    Wilbur looked down once again, and there seemed to be a snake-like being forged out of energy aura that was wrapped around his body. There was also another creature that looked like a tortoise of sorts below him, also formed out of energy aura.


    Wilbur snapped out of his stupor the next second, overwhelmed with emotion. The creature was none other than a ck Tortoise!


    The energy aura of the ck Tortoise Lake had flowed into thiske through the underground waterways, forming a powerful energy field here. If Wilbur were to absorb the energy here, he would definitely be able to improve his powers quickly.


    However, he was about to run out of air. If the ck Tortoise held him down, he would drown in no time. Wilbur did not hesitate and released his dragon aura out of his body to form a white dragon.


    The powerful dragon aura crushed the ck Tortoise''s aura at once, and the white dragon soared upward, breaking through the water''s surface with Wilbur in tow.


    Wilbur gasped for air, wiping the water off his face beforeughing like a madman.


    Felix frowned at him. "Master, is the energy aura even stronger at the bottom of theke?"
