The Demon Sealing Pool was extremely famous in the West Tiger Province. The reason for this was that it was said that an ancient great evil was sealed here. Because of this, it was called the Demon Sealing Pool and Demon Sealing Ridge.
However, this rumor had never been confirmed. Even now, some people believed that it was nothing more than a rumor.
There was one thing that couldn't be denied, and that was that there were many tyrannical species within Demon Sealing Ridge. Wutian was well aware of this. He had just entered the central region of Demon Sealing Ridge and had already encountered several Divine Transformation realm Beast Kings. As for the Hundred Dynasty realm vicious beasts, there was no need to mention them.
This was also the so-called 'safe route' that Gui Guzi had mentioned. If he didn't lead the way then Wutian would have to recklessly rush through the area. Who knew how many terrifying existences he would encounter?
As they went deeper and deeper, Wutian began to feel that something was wrong. It was true that he didn't encounter any particularly strong vicious beasts, but he also didn't encounter any humans. This was clearly illogical.
Logically speaking, if this was really a 'safe' route, there would definitely be many people who would come here to look for treasures or hunt beasts. However, along the way, other than the lofty mountains and lofty ridges, towering ancient trees, and birds and beasts, there was no one at all!
It was normal for there to be no one in the central region. After all, there were many Divine Transformation realm vicious beasts. But in the outer regions, there wasn't even a single ghost. This was far too strange.
"There is no need to be nervous. This safe route is only known to me and Gu Tianzi."
Gui Guzi explained. Several dozen years ago, these two brave brothers attempted to cross Demon Sealing Ridge. Finally, after a series of life or death tribulations, the two of them finally discovered a safe shortcut.
Wutian nodded. But, he didn't believe them. He even began to be on guard.
There were many vicious beasts blocking the way. But, they were mostly early stage Beast Kings; it was impossible for them to be Wutian's match. The more cowardly ones were scared away by his aura and the more courageous ones rushed forwards. But, the result was that they were all swiftly dealt with by Wutian.
Unknowingly, Wutian and Ye Zichen arrived in front of a pool of water. The pool was about thirty meters wide and was shrouded in mist, making it appear somewhat hazy. However, they could still faintly see that the water within the pool was pitch-black like ink. Moreover, there wasn't the slightest ripple, as if it was a pool of stagnant water.
After arriving here, Wutian instantly felt slightly strange because he actually didn't see a single ferocious beast in an area of 5km around the Devilseal Pool. Especially this pool of black water, it actually caused his heart to palpitate!
"This is the Fiend Sealing Pool."
Guigu 'zi looked at the pool in front of him and his eyes flashed. He looked at Wutian and warned, "The pool water inside has an extremely strong corrosive power. I once saw a Divine Transformation realm beast king fall in, but the result was that it turned to ashes in less than two breaths of time. So, you absolutely cannot touch it."
"So scary?" Wutian was bewildered. Even a Divine Transformation realm Beast King could be corroded in a short period of time. This was far too incredible!
"Hehe! If you don't believe me you can try. "Guigu 'zi sinisterly smiled.
Speaking of which, Wutian was a bit curious. He slowly walked forwards and squatted down on the shore of the Devilseal Pool. However, he didn't touch the black water. He only looked on in amazement. Gradually, he could smell a faint fragrance in the air.
"Eh! What's going on? This is bad! "
Wutian sniffed. At this time, his complexion changed and he staggered. If it weren't for his arms supporting him in time, he feared he would have fallen straight into the Devilseal Pool.
Dong!
A Forbidden Talisman slipped from his chest and fell into the pond with a crisp sound. Just as Guigu 'zi had said, the pond water had a very strong corrosive power. The extremely hard Forbidden Talisman was actually turned into ashes in an instant!
However, at this time, Wutian wasn't in the mood to watch. He propped himself up with both hands, a pained expression on his face. His body shivered and large beads of sweat overflowed from his forehead. It was like he was suffering some inhuman torment!
All of Wutian's strange reactions were because of the Devilseal Pool's fragrance. When he sniffed, a wisp of this fragrance had entered his nostrils and rushed straight into his spiritual sea, wrapping around his soul as if it wanted to corrode it!
An indescribable pain fiercely attacked every nerve in his body. Wutian was incomparably shocked. Just what sort of demonic creature was this black water? Just a wisp of its fragrance was enough to make him feel so helpless!
"Wutian, are you alright?"
When Guigu 'zi saw this, he immediately walked forward and stretched out his hands. Just as he was about to support him, Wutian suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him. "No need, I can do it myself!"
Glancing at Guigu 'zi from the corner of his eyes, Wutian forcefully pressed his hands against the ground and his body forcibly moved back three feet. Immediately, he sat down on the ground and closed his eyes. He began to circulate his soulforce to madly refine that wisp of fragrance. After a struggle, he was finally about to suppress the fragrance, but at this time, a strange change occurred.
To the side, Guigu 'zi, who had been silently watching Wutian, suddenly had a ruthless look on his face. His vertical arm suddenly stretched out and a five-inch long dagger appeared in his hand. As a dim light flickered, he held the dagger in his hand and fiercely stabbed towards Wutian's head!
Although Wutian did not open his eyes, the ear-piercing sound and the strong murderous intent had alarmed him. His heart suddenly sank. It turned out that Guigu 'zi really wanted to harm him!
If it were any other day, Wutian would not be afraid and could kill him with a wave of his hand. However, at this moment, he was at a critical moment. As long as he was distracted, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, he had a premonition that if the fragrance regained its freedom, it would be difficult to suppress it again!
However, Wutian was not a person who would sit still and wait for death. The God's Right Hand revived and suddenly punched upwards. With a clang, Guigu 'zi's arm trembled and the dagger in his hand directly broke into several pieces!
"Pu!"
The broken pieces of the dagger shot out in all directions. One of them just happened to slash across Wutian's face, leaving a wound. With a stream of blood, it shot into the Demon Sealing Pool. At the same time, a burst of green smoke floated up and directly turned into nothingness!
The power of Wutian's full strength punch was extremely powerful. Although Guigu 'zi did not receive a direct hit, the residual force was not something he could withstand. The skin of his right hand holding the dagger was torn open on the spot and blood splashed out. His body was also shaken back until he hit an ancient tree thousands of feet away. Only then did he stabilize his body. His face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood!
It was also at this moment that Wutian suddenly opened his eyes and looked coldly at him. He said indifferently, "You really hid it well. If it was someone else today, they would have definitely died under your dagger. Unfortunately, you chose me."
"You found out long ago." Guigu 'zi said in a deep voice.
"What do you think!?"
Wutian replied with a question, and he secretly circulated his Soulforce to swiftly refine the strand of delicate fragrance in his sea of consciousness. However, to his surprise, this strand of delicate fragrance that wasn't even as thick as a strand of hair was like divine iron, and he was actually unable to completely refine it in a short period of time!
Guigu 'zi's expression was gloomy. He felt that his acting was extremely good and didn't give himself away in the slightest, but Wutian had actually seen through it in advance. This caused him to be slightly bewildered, and he couldn't help but wonder. "How did you know?"
Wutian said indifferently, "Your acting was really not bad. At the beginning, even I believed you. But after you said something, I started to suspect that you had ulterior motives."
"What did I say?"
"You told me that the so-called safe passageway was discovered by you and Gu Tian a few tens of years ago. But have you thought about what your cultivations were a few tens of years ago? In my opinion, you were at most at the 100 Dynasties Stage, and Demon Sealing Ridge was densely covered with ferocious beasts that were extremely formidable. May I ask what strength you possessed to be able to traverse Demon Sealing Ridge? "Wutian ridiculed.
Guigu 'zi came to a sudden understanding. "So that's how it is. You were able to connect so many things with just a casual sentence. As expected of a heaven defying figure that's hard to come by in a million years. But I'm very puzzled. Since you've already noticed, why didn't you immediately make a move to kill me, and instead followed me to the Demon Sealing Pool?"
Wutian said indifferently, "It's very simple. I wanted to see what tricks you wanted to play."
"Hehe!" Guigu 'zi suddenly laughed nastily and ridiculed. "Could it be that you haven't heard that curiosity kills?"
"I'll die? Not necessarily! "Wutian sneered.
Guigu 'zi shook his head and looked mockingly at Wutian. "You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. To tell you the truth, the delicate fragrance that you inhaled into your body is a type of demonic mist called the Soul Seizing Mist. This demonic mist specializes in attacking one's soul. If one isn't at the Dacheng Stage, it's impossible to erase it. So don't waste your time!"
"That better be the case. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving alive today!" Wutian sneered.
The Soul Seizing Mist was indeed very powerful. If it was an ordinary person, their soul would have been shattered long ago. But don't forget that Wutian's soul had reached the King Stage. Moreover, after all these years of cultivation, there were faint signs of him breaking through to the Monarch Stage.
As long as he was given enough time, refining the Soul Seizing Mist would absolutely not be a problem. So, his main goal now was to stall for time. Wutian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I want to know why you're doing this."
"Hehe! Why? Isn't it because of the treasure on your body that can capture Spiritual Veins? "Gui Guzi sneered. His eyes were filled with greed.
"Do you know how excited I was when I found out that you had such a rare treasure in the ruins? So, in order to obtain this item, I began to express goodwill and even frankly wanted to cooperate with you to gain your trust. But you're too cautious, so I didn't have the slightest chance to take advantage of you.
Until fifty years ago, when Master asked me to come and talk to you about cooperation, I knew that my chance had come. So, I planned carefully. But I never thought that you would be so stupid as to ask me to help you call Gu Tian out.
Although your request disrupted my plan, it also created a more perfect plan for me. What I didn't expect was that you actually dared to follow me after discovering my plot. Tell me, if you're not courting death, what are you, haha! "
Gui Guzi laughed wildly. His eyes were filled with mockery, sarcasm, and sadness. He looked at Wutian as if he was looking at a dead man. Because in his opinion, Wutian simply did not have the strength to refine the Soul Seizing Mist. Death was only a matter of time.
As long as Wutian died, the peerless treasure that he had coveted for a long time would truly belong to him.
Especially when he thought of the various divine powers of the treasure, the few Elemental Spiritual Veins, and the Forbidden Stone Mineral Source, Gui Guzi's heart was incomparably fiery and excited. His body could not help but tremble violently!
