At the bottom of the Eastern Sea, Ye Yu gazed at the abyss ahead, an odd expression on his face. "Are you sure this is the entrance to the Eastern Sea Treasure?"
"I'm certain!" Su Yao’s tone was resolute.
Back in the dream world, when Su Yao learned the secret of the Ocean Commanding Trident, she was on the verge of Ascension. The words "Eastern Sea Treasure" were enticing, but Ye Yu was already dead, leaving her without interest in anything else. Her only thought was to ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
Before his death, Ye Yu had told her to ascend and see the world above, a suggestion she held onto, hoping that he might reincarnate and join her someday. She had returned the Ocean Commanding Trident to Ye Yu’s icy coffin and ascended alone.
But in the Heavenly Realm, after waiting a thousand lonely years without his arrival, Su Yao, unable to bear the isolation, chose to end her life, awakening from the dream.
Now, standing before the abyss, her gaze was firm. If she could relive this life, then this Eastern Sea Treasure was meant to belong to Ye Yu. She considered it part of her dowry.
"Husband, allow me to use the Ocean Commanding Trident."
"Between us, must you even say 'allow'?" Ye Yu chuckled, tossing the trident to her.
He couldn't help but think she was making things unnecessarily formal. The trident had been her gift to him, so calling it a loan felt overly polite. Yes, tonight, he’d have to work on teaching her some calligraphy to dispel this distance.
Taking the trident, Su Yao stood it before her, channeling her spiritual energy into it. Instantly, it emitted a brilliant light, causing the surrounding seawater to part, creating a dry, air-filled space that brought a sense of nostalgia to Ye Yu.
Ahead of the abyss, a hollow depression appeared on the ground, barely visible.
With her tail flowing gracefully, Su Yao held the trident firmly, her hair streaming as she radiated an aura of regal confidence, like a queen of the deep. She leaped down and thrust the trident into the depression with all her strength.
The next moment, the surroundings began to quake intensely, and the abyss in front of them glowed brilliantly. From outside, the scene within was completely obscured.
Su Yao exhaled and came to Ye Yu’s side. "Husband, this is the place known as the Eastern Sea Treasure. Let’s go inside; perhaps we’ll find the Water Essence."
Ye Yu nodded, no longer questioning it, and led Su Yao into the light. It was as if they passed through a barrier of water, easily permeable.
Inside, a magnificent dragon palace glistened before them. The grand structure was awe-inspiring, leaving even Su Yao momentarily speechless—it was her first time here as well.
They proceeded without hesitation into the palace, discovering piles of spiritual stones and a wall embedded with countless compartments holding all manner of items: techniques, spiritual artifacts, heavenly treasures—all in abundance.
At the very top rested a faintly glowing blue gem.
"That gem," Su Yao explained, "is the Eastern Sea Pearl. Embed it into the Ocean Commanding Trident, and it will unlock its seal, transforming it into a quasi-immortal weapon!"
Ye Yu was astonished, murmuring, "A quasi-immortal weapon? That powerful?"
