In the north region, the temperature difference between day and night was very large. The moonlight was cold, and the chill was bone-chilling.
On the horizon, a few white figures were very ethereal, flickering and disappearing. They were as ethereal as Immortals as they flew into the sky.
Ye Fan disappeared with a step, leaving behind a dozen or so afterimages on the vast land. He chased very far away, but he didn't catch anything. He stood in the night sky, looking up at the boundless starry sky.
"What is that?" He was confused. The few white figures disappeared into the boundless night sky, and couldn't be seen again.
"Jade Pool Celestial," the large black dog answered.
"Celestial?" Ye Fan didn't understand.
To cultivators, Celestials were illusory and unreal. Though there were always legends about their existence, there was no proof. Even if some were recorded in ancient books, they couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
"It's hard to say." The large black dog shook his head.
The Jade Pool was an ancient site. Occasionally, there would be strange scenes of celestials flying under the night moon. No one could tell what was going on. From afar, it was hazy, but up close, it was indistinct.
According to the legends, this was a primordial afterimage, a reflection of countless years ago, a replay of ancient events.
"It can't be a Celestial …" Ye Fan didn't believe it.
"I didn't say it was a Celestial." The Black Emperor's eyes shone with a green light. He was no different from a wolf in the night.
There was nothing on the vast land except sand and stones. The second half of the night was very quiet. Ye Fan and the Black Emperor searched for most of the night without finding anything.
In the past, the Jade Pool had opened a sect here because the mountains and rivers here were beautiful, and it was a rare Celestial land. But now, it was desolate, and apart from red sand, nothing else could be seen.
The miraculous scene of the Jade Pool Celestial had already appeared. This was definitely the old land of the Jade Pool, but no matter how they searched, they couldn't find a single flaw.
The morning glow surged, bright red and golden, and the reddish-brown land was dazzling. Ye Fan and the Black Emperor busied themselves for an entire night, but they didn't even find a single tile, let alone the ruins.
"You're really unreliable. You told me there was a Western Emperor Scripture here, but you couldn't even find it."
"Do you know what it means to be blessed? What's that? That's the Western Emperor Scripture, which was created by the legendary Western Emperor Mother. How could it be obtained so easily? "The large black dog tried to find an excuse.
"Before coming here, you said it was very easy. You said that it was carved on a precipice, and as long as you came here, you would be able to find it. What happened?"
The large black dog pulled a long face, and walked to the side unhappily. He narrowed his eyes and began to ponder. After a long time, he said, "This place has been sealed, and I'm slightly unwell, so I might not be able to open it at the moment. I can only think of another way."
It stood up and said, "Let's go to the edge of the Jade Pool. The seal there is the weakest. I think there's a way to sneak in."
After advancing for a full half a day, the large black dog finally came to a decision. "Let's search here," he said. "Let's search here."
The midday sun was very scorching. With the scorching sun overhead, the man and the shadow almost overlapped. The Black Emperor wandered around and suddenly jumped up, saying, "Found it."
Hearing this, Ye Fan rushed over.
In front of them, there was a stretch of red sand shining brightly. The scorching light from the scorching sun flowed over there like a large furnace.
"Is there something strange about this place? Can we enter the Jade Pool from here?"
"I remember that there's an ancient well at the edge of the Jade Pool Celestial Land. It should be here. We can most likely enter," the large black dog replied.
"Old Black, are you reliable? Don't try to fool me again. "Ye Fan didn't really believe him.
The large black dog bared his teeth, and threatened, "Call me Black Emperor!"
Ye Fan struck out with his palm, and the red sand swirled into the air. A large pit appeared in the ground, and some large rocks emerged from it.
"That's right, it's here. Time is merciless. Even this ancient well has been drowned by the sand." The large black dog squatted down to take a closer look.
When they finished clearing the ground, an ancient well appeared below them. It was built from ancient jade, and the mouth of the well was sealed by a large rock.
The sunlight in the sky was absorbed by this well, and thus it was as hot as a large furnace.
"As expected, the Jade Pool is extraordinary. Even though it has been sealed, it can still automatically absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. This well is absorbing the sunlight."
When Ye Fan lifted the large rock, a pitch-black mouth of the well was revealed. It was very deep, and they couldn't see the end of it.
"Are you sure … that this well can lead to the Jade Pool?" Ye Fan looked at him suspiciously.
"It should be about right," the large black dog said in an uncertain tone.
"What do you mean by about right? Are you sure? Have you entered here before? This well is so deep, so who knows where it will lead to?"
"Isn't there no other way? We need to slowly explore it." The large black dog held a rock in his mouth, and tossed it into the ancient well. There was no echo for a long time.
"This is a bottomless pit." Ye Fan was shocked.
"I remember now. This is definitely the place that leads to the Jade Pool. Someone has entered here before. Brat, you go down and explore the way first."
"Why don't you go and explore the way?"
"I've encountered some problems with my cultivation, so I can't fly. You can only go down."
"You're the one leading the way, yet you want me to go and explore the way?" Ye Fan glared at him.
"Yi, there's light down there." The large black dog suddenly poked his head into the well.
Ye Fan was surprised, and looked down, but he didn't discover anything. Right at this moment, he felt the large dog's head bump into his body, and he was thrown down.
"Bald-tailed dog, you're really evil …" Fortunately, he had been on guard against this large black dog, and he grabbed its hair, pulling it down as well.
"Brat, it's enough for you to go down alone. There's no need for both of you to come in."
"That's right, I also feel that it's enough for you to go down alone. Why don't I just throw you down?" Ye Fan was about to let go, and he wanted to fly up himself.
"I can't fly. Brat, if you dare to let go, I won't let you off!" The large black dog bit Ye Fan.
"F * ck, I've been bitten by a dog again!" Ye Fan didn't fly up. Instead, he grabbed the large black dog, and they descended together, wanting to explore a path.
The ancient well was really very deep, and they only reached the bottom after descending for over 2,000 meters. There was no water, and the ground was completely covered in mud. The stone that the large black dog had thrown in had sunk deeply into the mud.
When they landed on the ground, a rotten smell wafted over. There were actually withered leaves in the mud.
The ancient well was connected to an underground river, but the river had already dried up, and it flowed horizontally into the distance. Occasionally, they could see some small puddles, and some blind fish could be seen swimming in them.
"This dried up river definitely leads to the Jade Lake. Even if there's a seal, it's still the weakest place." A green light flashed in the large black dog's eyes.
The river was pitch-black, and one couldn't even see their fingers in front of them. They could only use their spirit sense to capture the surrounding scenery. Ye Fan advanced slowly, and the Black Emperor followed beside him.
"You can even find a path like this? Is this the hole that you crawled out of in the past?" Ye Fan swallowed the words "dog hole", fearing that the large black dog would fly into a rage.
"F * ck, brat, are you scolding me?" The large black dog was extremely sensitive, and he was as cunning as a human. He immediately realized what was going on.
Ye Fan was afraid of being bitten, so he hurriedly diverted his attention, and said, "No, you're thinking too much. How did you discover this path? "
"In the past, the water in the ancient well was full, so it was almost impossible to discover this path. However, there have indeed been people who have entered this place before, but it has nothing to do with me. I've only heard of it. "
After walking for a full 30 to 40 kilometers, Ye Fan felt that the terrain was gradually becoming higher, and they were slowly ascending to the surface.
In this place, the seal was extremely weak. There was a faint light flickering, but it couldn't stop anything at all, and they could continue forward.
After walking for another few kilometers, sunlight shone down, and they were already very close to the exit.
"We can really enter the Jade Lake from this place …" the large black dog muttered.
"So you really don't know!" Ye Fan really wanted to teach him a lesson or two, but he was afraid of being bitten by the dog.
This was a large lake, but it had already dried up, and the bottom of the lake had cracked open. This river was connected to a large crack at the bottom of the lake.
After coming out from the river, rich Spiritual Qi instantly rushed over, making them feel refreshed and refreshed, as if they were bathing in a spring breeze.
The bottom of this large lake was very dry, and if one didn't count those large cracks, its shape was about the same as a frying pan.
Many large fish bones lay on the ground. The lake had dried up, and they had died. The size of these bones was extremely astonishing, and there were a few that were over a dozen meters long, or even close to 20 meters long.
"Such large fish have most likely almost become spirits."
In the surroundings of the lake, there were many ancient trees that reached into the sky that were rooted on the shore of the lake. They were incredibly vigorous, but it was a pity that they had all dried up, and only one or two still had a dozen or so yellow leaves on their heads.
"These trees are too thick. I'm afraid they have already grown for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, right?" Ye Fan was astonished.
Such ancient trees should have already become spirits, yet they had all died here. This was really a little strange.
"There's something strange about this place!" A dark light shone from the large black dog's eyes, and he said, "No matter whether it's the large fish that are over a dozen meters long in the lake, or the ancient trees on the shore that would require more than a dozen people to wrap their arms around, they obviously can't become spirits."
"What did you sense?" Ye Fan asked.
"I didn't sense anything. It's just a kind of intuition. Perhaps this is the reason why the Jade Lake is retreating." The Black Emperor swept his gaze over the shore of the lake.
The surroundings were very quiet, and it was a little lifeless.
Ye Fan walked out of this dried up lake pit, landed on the shore, and looked around. In the distance, there was an expanse of withered trees. Many trees had withered, and the entire area was bare and lifeless. It gave off an extremely desolate feeling.
"Didn't you say that this is a world filled with flowers and birds? Why is it so desolate and lonely?"
"Something has happened here …" The Black Emperor walked forward.
Although the old land of the Jade Lake was very desolate, the Spiritual Qi here was very dense, and it was many times denser than the outside world. As expected of a holy land for cultivation.
After walking for several kilometers, the sound of flowing water could be heard. After passing through a large forest of withered trees, a lush greenery entered his eyes.
In front of him, there were green plants everywhere, and they were verdant and lush. There was a lake that was as clear as a sapphire, and large patches of plants on the shore were full of vitality.
There were massive ancient trees, and their branches stretched towards the sky. Their entire bodies were like small mountains, and their thick vines were like numerous dragons, crawling all over the place. All kinds of flowers and plants were fragrant, refreshing the mind. They were colorful, and very pleasing to the eye.
Ye Fan felt that it was strange. Why was there such a great contrast? They were very close to each other. One place was deathly silent, while the other place was full of vitality and vitality.
The large black dog ran forward, passing through this lush land. After advancing for a mere 1,000 meters or so, another expanse of withered trees appeared, and it was completely silent.
"Strange, it can't be because of the water source."
They continued forward, and discovered that 90% of the area was lifeless, and only a few places had vitality.
This was also the case for the mountains. Most of them were bare, and not a single blade of grass grew. Only a few of them were beautiful, and their peaks were verdant and green.
After advancing for several dozen kilometers, they finally saw a few pavilions. However, they were already half-collapsed. Even though there were patterns on them, after so many years, they still couldn't resist the corrosion of time.
"Soon, we're approaching the important land of the Jade Lake." The Black Emperor's bald tail started counting as he ran forward.
After passing through many mountains, they finally arrived at a land shrouded in celestial mist. It was quiet all around, and all the plants had withered.
Large numbers of palaces were like heavenly palaces, either standing on the peaks of mountains, or sitting in front of dried-up waterfalls …
If vitality was restored to this place, it would definitely be a celestial realm.
"The palaces of the Jade Lake that were floating in the air have all been moved away, and not a single one is left …" The large black dog swept his gaze around.
"Is there an impregnable ancient city in the Jade Lake?" Ye Fan asked.
"Of course there is one." The large black dog's eyes flashed, and it was as if he was searching for something. He said, "After passing through a few mountain ridges in front of us, we'll arrive at the central area."
They quickly advanced, and after passing through this withered land, the mist ahead became even more indistinct.
After passing through a few mountain ridges, a lush land once again appeared before their eyes. There were waterfalls and springs, and the mist was hazy. There were many palaces here, and they were all extremely beautiful. It was as if they had entered the Celestial Realm.
"It's great that the central area hasn't become a land of death!" The large black dog rushed forward.
"Which precipice did the Western Empress inscribe the scripture on?" Ye Fan urged. After arriving at this kind of celestial realm, even he was feeling slightly restless.
"What are you in such a hurry for? Let's go to a good place first!"
On the beautiful cliffs, there were numerous large waterfalls that cascaded down. The silver waterfalls were as long as 3,000 meters, and it was an extremely spectacular sight.
There were many palaces here, and it was like a scene from a painting.
"Where exactly are you going?" Ye Fan asked.
"I'm naturally going to the holy lake of the Jade Lake. The Jade Lake is named after it!"
Not far away, there was a vast expanse of open land. There were countless strange flowers and plants in the surroundings, as well as palaces. In the central area, there was dense Spiritual Qi, and auspicious colors flowed about. There was a lake there, and it was hazy.
"It should be here …" The large black dog rushed over.
In this place, the Spiritual Qi was even denser, and it was many times denser than in other places. Standing here, they didn't need to use any mysterious techniques, and they could automatically absorb the Source Essence of heaven and earth.
"Plop!"
The large black dog dove into the Celestial lake.
"Black Emperor, is there some kind of treasure in the lake? Otherwise, why are you so anxious?"
The large black dog didn't answer, and he swam toward the center of the lake. Like a streak of black light, he suddenly dove into the lake.
"Howl …" The large black dog dove into the water for a few minutes before letting out a howl. He leaped out of the water as if he had been startled.
"What did you see?" Ye Fan was astonished.
"Nothing much, it was just too refreshing. This is the Celestial lake of the Jade Lake, and bathing here has a miraculous effect. It can open up one's muscles and activate one's meridians, speeding up one's cultivation. Brat, come down as well."
"Nonsense. Seeing how scared you were just then, there must be something strange. Are you trying to drag me down with you and be unlucky?" Ye Fan stood on the shore, his arms crossed as he looked at the large black dog.
"Brat, you're naturally suspicious. Have I ever been so unscrupulous?" the large black dog asked.
"When have you ever been unscrupulous? Hurry up and come up. Go and find the Western Emperor Scripture for me, "Ye Fan urged.
"The water quality of this Celestial lake is special, and in the past, only the fairies of the Jade Lake could enjoy it. This is a place where peerless beauties come out to bathe. Outsiders can't even see it, much less enter. Don't you want to come down and experience it?"
Suddenly, Ye Fan was shocked. He saw a few figures in the water. They were pale white, and it was enough to make one's hair stand on end.
"You bald dog, you really are evil!"
The large black dog seemed to have sensed something, and he leaped high into the air. He leaped out of the water, and shouted, "Why are you following me? Why are you still moving?!"
F * ck, this damned dog. As expected, he wanted to drag me down with him and be unlucky, Ye Fan cursed silently.
The large black dog rushed forward, sticking close to the surface of the water. His bald tail straightened, and he sprinted madly toward the shore.
Under the lake, a few blurry figures with long black hair and white robes streaked past, causing Ye Fan's heart to palpitate in fear. What were those things?
