A Debt of Gratitude

As Wu Long was collecting the sea water on the way forward, he was pondering one thought that came to his mind.

'It certainly is strange...'

It was that in such a large body of water, he did not feel any presence of a Dao Rune.

He struggled to reconcile the fact that a whole sea would not have a Water Rune. As he pondered on the mystery, he tried to analyze the possible causes, leading him to contemplate the features of the sea or ocean water.

And as he did so, he had a flash of realization that water itself did not move when it was not acted upon outside forces, as waves he saw were caused by outside influence.

This realization caused him to marvel at the way he missed such a simple concept, and at the same time, he suddenly felt a presence of a Water Rune within the waters below him, stopping his movement and landing on the water surface.
