Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven
#2813 - Mysterious Lake
The world beneath the abyss was different from what everyone imagined.
It wasn't dim and gloomy; instead, it looked like a paradise, a pure land with clear skies.
The air here was fresh, the sky was cloudless, and the mountains and land stretched out magnificently.
"How could this be?"
Mo Qingli gazed into the distance, looking at the world beneath the abyss, feeling very puzzled.
"Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Jun Wuxie turned his head, a hint of a smile on his face.
Mo Qingli shook her head, "It's not that I've noticed anything unusual, but it's different from what I knew in the past.
The Land of Forgotten, although it has not been prominent in the world for a long time and has been sealed by a magic circle, is little known to the world.
However, as the former goddess and sect master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect, I know a lot of information, and that information must be correct.
This place used to be the site of a great battle between the strong of my world and the ghost witch creatures.
According to the descriptions of the predecessors, the world under this abyss should be dark and gloomy, filled with eerie energy, and the environment should be森冷可怖 and oppressive.
But now it is so vibrant, with magnificent mountains and rivers, lush vegetation, and fresh air, like a secluded pure land.
The scene we see now is completely the opposite of the environment described by our predecessors, and the difference is too great."
"If things are abnormal, there must be a demon. The environment here is indeed not in line with its experience and location.
Such an environment is conducive to relaxing people's vigilance.
Let's be careful."
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli moved forward, leaping between the mountains, their bodies like streamers across the sky, each rise and fall covering hundreds or thousands of meters.
There was a special field here, which put great pressure on people when flying in the air.
Therefore, to continue flying in the air, one would suffer a hundred times the consumption under normal circumstances.
They discovered this when they first arrived here, because they were subjected to this field force during the descent.
"The aura of time is so strong.
If I have been away from Hunyuan for tens of thousands of years, this place has not been opened.
Then, according to calculations, it has been millions of years since the seal was set.
With millions of years of time, the evolution of沧海桑田, and the accumulation of time, there should be many immortal treasures bred here.
However, we have continuously crossed hundreds of peaks, and all we have seen are low-grade immortal herbs, mostly first-grade, and very few second-grade immortal treasures, which are also immature."
Mo Qingli had been carefully observing along the way.
"It means that someone regularly picks off the immortal treasures.
The creatures of the underground alien space world did not start their activities in recent years.
They started their activities long ago, and even after this place was sealed that year, they have been active in this Land of Forgotten, treating it as their medicine garden."
"Why did the elders hide this information?"
Mo Qingli frowned slightly, "The major top Dao lineages choose this place to experience and compete, and they will inevitably investigate the situation here in advance.
That is to say, they understand the basic situation here.
They know that there are no valuable immortal treasures here.
But they say that there are many opportunities here."
"The opportunities that the elders are talking about should be the things left by the strong in ancient times.
However, since the creatures of the underground alien space world can come here to pick immortal treasures and move freely for a long time.
Are the things left by the strong in the past still there?
The elders are aware of the situation here and cannot fail to think of this.
It seems that there is a special reason here."
Mo Qingli's face showed a hint of worry after hearing this, "Your Majesty, Qingli has a bad feeling in her heart.
This experience is definitely not simple and is very strange.
According to the information we currently have, it is not in line with common sense at all.
Do you think the elders may have some problems?"
"Perhaps the possibility of a special reason is greater, and the possibility of a problem is relatively low.
The information we currently have is not necessarily the truth."
Jun Wuxie did not agree with Mo Qingli's guess.
When he was in contact with the elders and talking with them, he could feel that their emotions and words were from the bottom of their hearts and from the heart.
Especially when talking about the doomsday torrent, their emotional outpouring at that time was definitely not pretended.
If it is not that the elders have a problem, then there is a problem with this Land of Forgotten.
Sometimes, thinking from a different perspective may be easier to solve the doubts in your heart.
They continued to move forward, without any goal, purely following fate, going wherever they went.
Coming here to experience is originally a matter of luck, to see if you can get any opportunities, such as the things left here by the strong in ancient times, and to kill the creatures of the underground alien space world to obtain duel points.
They walked for a long time and did not know how many mountains and rivers they had crossed.
Along the way, it was terrifyingly calm.
There was no danger at all, and they had never seen the creatures of the underground alien space world appear.
Only some ordinary creatures were seen, flying birds and walking animals.
Although some have cultivation, their cultivation is very low, and many have not even opened their minds.
However, these creatures have an innate instinct to avoid danger.
Seeing them passing by, no creatures launched an attack, or lay dormant, or hid far away.
"That's not right, if it's such an environment, how can we get points?"
Mo Qingli became more and more puzzled.
The elders said that the disciples of each Dao lineage compete to kill the creatures of the underground alien space world to obtain points.
Since the high-level officials of each Dao lineage arranged this way, it means that there are many underground alien world creatures in this Land of Forgotten.
But she and Your Majesty have walked so far, and they don't know how large an area they have crossed, but they have not seen a single such creature, nor have they sensed any special aura remaining.
This Land of Forgotten does not seem to have any traces of such creatures at all.
Since the elders of each Dao lineage said that they would use this to compete for points, then they must have confirmed the situation here when they explored in advance, and it should not be like this.
"Your Majesty, I think we should think about what route to take next.
If we continue to walk aimlessly like this, it may be difficult to encounter underground alien world creatures for a long time.
If we don't get points, we won't win the Undying Wall-Breaking Pill.
That third-grade immortal pill is exactly what you need."
"Qingli, we are not in a hurry. The duration of this trip is a full year.
Within this year, whoever gets the most points will be the first.
Therefore, we have enough time.
Now, the situation here is obviously a bit wrong, let's observe more."
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli descended from a great mountain.
There is a lake on the top of this mountain.
The mountain is very high, making the sky look very low.
White clouds are reflected in the clear lake water, the scenery is very beautiful.
This place is different from the outside world. Even on the top of a mountain with extremely high altitude, the temperature is similar to that at the foot of the mountain.
Therefore, there is no ice and snow on the mountain, and the vegetation is still relatively lush.
"There seems to be a very pure immortal essence here…"
Mo Qingli sensed it as soon as she landed here.
She looked around, searching for the source of the immortal essence.
Of course, immortal essence is everywhere, and immortal essence is flowing between heaven and earth.
It's just that the immortal essence between heaven and earth is relatively weak, far less pure than here.
"It seems to be from the bottom of the lake."
Mo Qingli's eyes finally fell on the lake.
This lake is very vast, the lake water is calm, and because there is no wind, the lake surface is as smooth as a huge mirror.
The water along the edge of the lake is clear, and the bottom of the lake can be seen clearly.
However, a little further forward, the color of the lake water suddenly becomes very deep.
"This is not an ordinary lake."
Jun Wuxie's eyes evolved into runes, and he casually took a stone from the ground and threw it into the lake.
He didn't throw it far, only a few tens of meters.
With a thud.
The stone fell into the water, the surface tension was broken, and the lake water rippled in circles.
However, they saw that the ripples disappeared in an instant.
Visually, the just-spreading ripples quickly gathered towards the middle, and the water surface returned to calm.
At the same time, the stone that fell into the water disappeared instantly at a very abnormal speed.
With their eyesight, even if this place is relatively special, they can see the depth of the lake water of tens of meters.
But in just an instant, the stone disappeared at a depth of tens of meters.
It seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, causing it to fall at a speed many times faster than normal.
"This lake water, I didn't see anything abnormal, nor did I sense any field force in the lake.
Your Majesty, have you seen anything?"
"It's not that there is no field, but the field is extremely difficult to sense, you naturally can't detect it."
"Is it a natural field?"
"Hard to say."
Jun Wuxie shook his head, "The field in the lake is a bit strange, it has the characteristics and aura of a natural field, but it also seems to be man-made, it is still difficult to distinguish at present.
Let's go down and see what's going on."
Speaking of this, Jun Wuxie stretched out his hand to Mo Qingli, "Hold me, so as to better deal with unexpected situations."
When Mo Qingli saw him like this, she knew that the bottom of the lake was not simple, otherwise Your Majesty would not be like this.
She didn't say anything and held his palm tightly.
Jun Wuxie supported the blood energy circle, but it was not the color of Chaos Gold, but a transparent color after the transformation of the Eighty-Nine Arcane Art.
Even in this Land of Forgotten, he was very cautious to avoid exposing his identity by accident.
Now is definitely not the time to expose his identity.
With his current realm, he simply cannot calmly deal with the various troubles brought about by the exposure of his identity.
Unless he is willing to use the power he doesn't want to use.
But that would more or less affect his luck and karma.
Enveloped in the blood energy sphere, he pulled Mo Qingli into the lake.
The instant they touched the lake water, a mysterious force arose, causing his body to feel as if it were being pulled by gravity, and he sank instantly.
However, since they were still in the shallow water area, the lake was less than two feet deep, and the blood energy sphere isolated the water, they couldn't touch the water at all.
They walked forward for several dozen meters, and the lake was still not deep, only reaching their necks.
But the area ahead was different.
A foot away, the color of the lake water became very deep, completely different from the color of the water where they were standing.
Looking down through the water, unlike the mud at the bottom of the lake that they could clearly see beneath their feet, they couldn't see anything, just darkness.
Obviously, one more step forward would be a cliff-like drop in depth.
They paused slightly, then stepped forward.
In an instant, he and Mo Qingli's bodies fell rapidly, the light disappeared directly, and it was pitch black all around, and they couldn't see anything.
They fell rapidly for several breaths before touching something solid.
"This lake is too deep. Judging by the speed of our descent, the depth should exceed the height of this mountain, at least ten thousand zhang!"
"In this lake, an ordinary Eternal Realm expert would find it difficult to withstand the water pressure amplified by the mysterious field, let alone anything else."
Jun Wuxie's body lit up, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the surroundings.
However, the area illuminated by the light was not large.
The water at the bottom of the lake seemed to devour light.
The light disappeared after shining about ten meters around their bodies.
Therefore, they could only see an area of about ten meters around them.
Mo Qingli activated her pupil technique, trying hard to see further.
"Don't waste your energy. Pupil techniques are limited here and can't exert any effect, at least not to see far.
The mysterious field restricts the power of pupil techniques. Our vision range is only the area illuminated by the light."
"This lake bottom is so strange. There's an indescribable gloom, and surprisingly, I can't see any fish, shrimp, or other creatures, as if it's a lifeless lake."
"Perhaps there are no ordinary creatures.
Let's walk forward and see."
Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli, enveloped in the blood energy sphere, walked along the lake bottom.
Most of the lake bottom was relatively flat, and occasionally they could see protruding underwater mounds.
Of course, the so-called flatness was not the kind of flatness of the ground in human settlements, but simply that there were no large undulations.
Generally speaking, such a lake bottom would be either sandy or muddy, and should be relatively flat.
But the bottom of this lake, in many places, did not have mud or sand.
The path they were walking on was entirely stone.
The width of the stone ground basically reached the range of the light.
At the edge of the light, they could see a thick layer of mud and sand.
Both sides were like this.
It looked as if someone had trod a path here, causing the mud and sand to separate to both sides.
They walked along the stone ground, which looked like a winding path, and did not see any fish, shrimp, or other creatures along the way.
The bottom of the lake was dark and silent, eerily quiet.
"Lord, look."
As they walked, Mo Qingli, who was carefully observing the surroundings, suddenly pointed to the right.
About ten meters away from them, there was a large rock standing on the bottom of the lake, like a small mountain peak.
The rock had many small holes, pitted and uneven, like a honeycomb.
This was not strange in itself, and there was nothing to pay attention to.
But on the honeycomb-like stone mountain, there were horizontal, sloping dents, one after another.
The dents were half a foot deep, as if they were imprints pressed down by something with a relatively regular shape.
The dents went from the bottom of the stone mountain all the way to the top.
The dents at the bottom were thinner, gradually becoming larger upwards. The dents were thickest in the middle section of the stone mountain, and then slowly became smaller again until the top of the mountain.
"As you said, this lake is not without life, it's just without ordinary life.
Although I can't sense the aura it left behind, judging from the current situation, there should be a big guy in this lake!"
Mo Qingli's expression was solemn, and she became more cautious and vigilant.
Due to the special nature of this lake and the field's restrictions, she could not sense the aura left behind by the potentially existing creature, and could not determine its realm and strength.
Danger is not so terrible, but the unknown danger inevitably makes people feel uneasy.
They don't know when they will encounter it, they don't know what they will encounter, and they don't know what level of creature it is.
