However, Lin Yan had carefully identified the water above and below the stone.
It was impossible to tell the difference with the naked eye.
He took a little and tasted it. It did not taste like salt water.
Moreover, no matter how dense the salt water was, it was still an aqueous solution. It was unlikely to be heavier than a stone.
At this moment, Lin Yan thought of something. He took some water and tried it. He realized that the layer of water below was actually non-toxic!
It was clearly water that was integrated into one. Above was poisonous water, but below was completely clear water, as if they were incompatible. How was this possible?
The surroundings were empty. There were no walls or rocks at all. It did not look like a water channel from a cave at all. Instead, it looked like a larger underground lake.
Lin Yan swam left and right and quickly realized that there were many other floating things beside him. Fish bones, rocks, the remains of Corpse Buddha Cockroach…
All the floating junk was at the same height, and the line position was at the same level.
It was as if there was a hidden net at the bottom of the lake, pulling up everything that fell and floating here.
“Under normal natural conditions, it’s impossible for such a strange phenomenon to appear. It seems that I’ve found the right place…”
At this point, he couldn’t stop. Lin Yan pushed away the two rocks and exerted strength in his feet to pass through this level.
The moment he passed through the interface, Lin Yan felt that something was wrong with his body. It wasn’t that he was in danger or injured, but an extremely awkward feeling.
After swimming downstream for a while, this awkward feeling became more and more obvious. Not only did he not feel an upward force like those rocks, but he also swam more easily. It was as if there was a suction force on his body, making it easier for him to swim downstream!
No, it was not a suction force…
A strange expression slowly surfaced on Lin Yan’s face. He no longer swam down. Instead, he straightened his body and floated in the water with his head up and his feet down.
A strange feeling made Lin Yan feel very awkward everywhere. Moreover, without needing him to swim, his body subconsciously sank downwards. It also became abnormally difficult for him to maintain his balance.
And then…
He placed his head upside down and his feet facing up. Instead, he felt very smooth, as if he was supposed to stand in this position.
Lin Yan’s expression became even stranger. He let his head rise again and his feet fall. Then, he swung his legs and swam upwards.
This was actually more difficult than going down.
However, after he crossed the dividing line of floating rocks, the difficulty immediately reversed. Instead, it became easier to go upward!
The awkwardness and difficulty in maintaining balance had also disappeared…
After testing a few times, Lin Yan’s expression became even stranger. He already had a vague guess, but this guess was too strange. In theory, it was impossible.
Still…
In this world, among martial arts, Chaotic Fog, and Spirit Marrow, which could be explained with theory?
If he used the science of his previous life to explain this world, it would probably be very different.
“So… the gravity on this level is really reversed!”
Lin Yan flipped the waves with his palm and stroked them up and down on this division. He felt the opposite buoyancy and gravity and was once again convinced of this unbelievable conclusion.
Above this level of the interface was the spot where Lin Yan had come from.
The gravity was downward and the buoyancy was upward.
After crossing this layer, the direction of gravity changed!
Gravity became upwards and buoyancy downwards. It was as if they were reversed or the mirror images overlapped!
It was also because of this that all the falling rocks would eventually float on this intersection surface. Furthermore, they were all in the middle line and were completely symmetrical.
This was because once they entered the other side, the gravity would become reversed and they would fall back to the contact surface.
The reason why Lin Yan didn’t notice the abnormality immediately was that the buoyancy of the human body wasn’t much different from gravity. After entering the other side, he didn’t have a deep understanding.
It was not until he continued to go down, or rather, move a large distance upward on the other side, that he felt that as he rose, the water pressure on his body became smaller and smaller. He suddenly had the thought of reversed gravity, and then connected everything.
“Gravity is the attraction of the planet. Logically speaking, it points to the interior of the planet. Even if the planet is hollow, at most there will be no gravity and it’s impossible for the direction of gravity to point to the outside of the planet…”
The higher one stood in this world, the further one could see. Therefore, it was obvious that it was also a planet. However, if it was a planet, why would such a strange gravity phenomenon appear in the middle?
There were many questions, but it was obviously impossible to get an answer just by thinking.
Lin Yan exerted strength in his feet and broke through the intersection of two opposite gravitational forces. It was as if he had jumped into a mirror world.
He did not splash water and only floated deeper or higher along the buoyancy of the water.
The pressure of the water was related to the depth of the water. Since the pressure of the water on the border was the same, it meant that the depth, or height, of the water below was similar to the height above, about 200 meters.
As Lin Yan continued deeper, or rather, continued to rise, the pressure of the surrounding water decreased, but the surroundings were still pitch-black. There was no light source at all.
Lin Yan was in no hurry to surface. The deep water underground was actually unbelievably wide. He swam out and explored his surroundings.
In the dark water, a small black shadow suddenly flashed past, shocking Lin Yan.
Then, several small black shadows fled in front of him. Lin Yan looked at them with the help of the fire and heaved a sigh of relief. They seemed to be small fish the size of a child’s palm.
It seemed that this lake was not dead.
After swimming forward for a distance, there were more and more of these small fish.
They were very fast. Lin Yan simply circulated the Mixed Water Technique and suddenly accelerated, grabbing one of the small fish.
“This is… the Poison-Toothed Trout!”
The small fish in his hand looked very similar to the Poison-Toothed Trout in the poisonous lake, except that its size was smaller. Moreover, the two curved sharp teeth on its mouth did not look so ferocious.
After being grabbed by Lin Yan, the Poison-Toothed Trout kept jumping and struggling. From time to time, it would bite Lin Yan, clearly very panicked.
However, the strength and ferocity of its bite were much inferior to the Poison-Toothed Trout in the poisonous lake above.
Lin Yan casually released it, and the Poison-Toothed Trout immediately fled and disappeared into the surrounding darkness.
“The Poison-Toothed Trout feeds on the secretion of the jade pillar. Could there be that jade pillar under the water?”
After raising the Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame higher, Lin Yan quickly discovered that not far away, a huge jade pillar stood quietly.
Walking to the jade pillar, Lin Yan carefully observed it. This jade pillar was a little thicker than the jade pillar above. Furthermore, there seemed to be a halo flowing on the surface, as if light patterns were winding around it.
After swimming forward for a while, he saw a jade pillar again. Then, one after another, they formed a formation and stood in this deep lake that had been there for an unknown period of time.
It was obvious that the water world below was also a huge lake!
In this lake, there was also a similar jade pillar. It was like the Mirror World, corresponding to the poisonous lake above.
Lin Yan suddenly trembled. Perhaps it wasn’t because the two were symmetrical.
Instead…
The jade pillar above the poisonous lake was the same jade pillar as the one in the lake below!
Thinking back to the jade pillar he had seen in the poisonous lake above, it was very likely that the jade pillar had pierced through the bottom and reached into the current lake!
A jade pillar connected the poisonous lake above and the Mirror Lake below. Whose handiwork was this?
What Lin Yan was thinking was that in the poisonous lake above, there were White Jade Fire Lotuses on the jade pillars.
What about the end of the jade pillar below?
Was it lake water? Or rock formations?
Could it be that they had also given birth to some special Unusual Item?
