The mist was hazy, and water splashed everywhere. The large black dog trod on the water, running on the waves. He was like a black arrowhead as he quickly rushed ashore.
"What's going on? Why are they moving?" He was very disheveled, and turned around to look.
'F * ck, this damned dog really deserves a beating.' Ye Fan almost went over to smack him again. He looked askance at him.
"Brat, you're really unkind. You actually didn't help me just now, and just stood on the shore and watched." The large black dog turned around and bared his teeth.
"I wanted to help, but I just wanted to smack you." Ye Fan stood on the shore, and looked at him a few times. Then, he looked at the blurry figures in the water, and said, "What did you see?"
The large black dog knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue too much. He wandered around the lake, mumbling something.
"What are you saying?"
"I saw celestial maidens, all of them beautiful and beautiful. I can't help but feel pity for them. Let's go down and investigate together?" the large black dog said.
"If you feel pity for them, then they definitely aren't celestial maidens. They're most likely a large wolfdog."
"Woof woof … brat, are you tired of living?" The large black dog's bald tail stood up.
"Alright, stop biting me. My legs are full of your teeth marks." Ye Fan hurriedly comforted him. He was still hoping that he could find the Western Emperor Scripture, so he didn't want to provoke him.
Around the lake, the Spiritual Qi was so thick that it could almost condense into liquid. It was a holy cultivation ground that cultivators dreamed of.
The water was dotted, and mist drifted. Everything underwater was very blurry, and a few figures slowly disappeared into the depths of the lake.
Their figures were stiff, and they wore sackcloth. Their black hair was loose, and they looked very frightening underwater. They were like water ghosts, very strange.
"They're all corpses?" Ye Fan asked in detail.
The large black dog's expression darkened, and he said, "How unlucky. This is clearly a celestial lake, a place where celestial maidens come out to bathe. I excitedly went down to search for the holy treasure, but in the end … I'm really unlucky."
"There's something good that you want to take for yourself, and when you see an evil creature, you want me to go down to accompany you?" Ye Fan glared at him.
"Let's go down together. Maybe we can find a treasure," the large black dog urged.
"I'm not going. I'm not interested in corpses." Ye Fan refused.
"Lad, don't regret it. This is the most important place in the Jade Lake. If there are no corpses in the lake, I want to take them all away …"
In the past, this pool was well known under the heavens, the north region's most famous immortal pool. Spiritual essence was dense, to the extent where there was even a source within the pool.
Drinking the water of this pool for a long time could prolong the lifespan of mortals, and the effect was even better for cultivators. The pure and holy nature of the women of Jade Lake was related to this. It could slowly improve their physique, and after dozens or hundreds of years, their bodies would be flawless.
The water of the Jade Lake was the best source of water for refining medicine. Some great sects and sacred grounds would even come here to ask for water when refining precious divine pills.
"The materials used by the Western Empress to refine her extreme weapon were dug out from this Celestial Pond. Perhaps we'll be able to reap some benefits if we go down there," the large black dog said enticingly.
"Stop dreaming. If I did, would I still be here?" Ye Fan scoffed.
The requirements for the materials used to refine an extreme weapon were too high. Emperors had a very long lifespan, much longer than ordinary cultivators, but even if they searched all over the world, they still might not be able to gather all of them.
Holy objects like Phoenix Blood Gold were extremely rare, and could only be found by chance. Moreover, to refine an extreme weapon, it had to be made from the most precious materials since the world's creation.
Thus, since ancient times, regardless of whether it was lost or existing extreme weapons, there were only a few of them in the Eastern Wasteland.
"That's hard to say. Perhaps there really is a celestial material left behind." The large black dog's eyes flashed.
"The Jade Lake has already been evacuated. Even if there was anything left, it would have already been searched clean. How could it possibly be left behind for you?" Ye Fan was unmoved.
"What do you know? This pool is very mysterious. The Western Empress founded her sect here because of it. Perhaps there are other things at the bottom of the pool. I suspect that the so-called 'Jade Lake Celestial' was triggered by this pool. "
"There are indeed … corpses. You've already seen them, so what else is there to investigate?"
"Why did the Jade Lake evacuate? Why are there so many corpses in the pool? Don't you want to find out?" The large black dog was displeased.
"If I was powerful enough, I would excavate the entire Origin Ancient Mine, as well as the nine sacred mountains of the forbidden ancient lands. But now, I only want to obtain the Western Emperor Scripture, and I don't want to take any risks.
"If you don't go down with me, don't even think about obtaining the Western Emperor Scripture in this lifetime!" The large black dog bared his teeth.
'F * ck, this damned dog is even threatening me.' Ye Fan cursed in his heart.
The lake water was warm, and the water splashed up. It was as translucent as jade, and its spiritual energy was oppressive. It automatically entered one's body through one's pores.
"The people of the Jade Lake bathe in this water every day, so it's impossible for their cultivation not to improve. Why don't I just wait until I find enough energy and cultivate in seclusion here? I'll definitely improve by leaps and bounds then," Ye Fan exclaimed.
"What? Now you know the benefits, right? Do you think I would lie to you?" The large black dog had a proud expression.
"Why are you so proud? Hurry up and go down. I'll follow behind you."
"I'll soak for a while longer. I'll go down after I've recovered enough energy. I'll feel a little uneasy." The large black dog felt slightly guilty.
"Have you snuck in here before?" Ye Fan closed his eyes to enjoy the experience, and asked this evil black dog.
"I'd like to, but I never had the chance. I've only heard of it before, so I'm going to properly experience it today."
"I reckon that only the important figures of the Jade Lake can enter this pool, right?" Ye Fan asked.
"The ultimate weapon left behind by the Western Empress has always been suppressed in the pool, and ordinary people indeed can't enter. Only the Western Empress, the Holy Maiden, and the grand elders can enter. However, the water in the pool can be drawn out for the use of other disciples."
"The ultimate weapon is always at the bottom of the pool?" Ye Fan was astonished.
"Unfortunately, it was taken away by the people of the Jade Lake. Sigh!" The large black dog was extremely greedy.
There was a huge splash, and the large black dog sank into the pool. Ye Fan followed behind him, and only slowly approached the bottom of the pool after descending for over 100 meters.
"F * ck …" Ye Fan felt his scalp go numb. The bottom of the pool was densely packed with the corpses of young women.
How was this a Celestial lake? This was clearly a burial pit. There were several hundred corpses, and the center of the lake was completely filled up.
Their slender arms and slender legs were still glowing, but their bodies were stiff, and there was no sign of life.
The corpses of the women all had disheveled hair, and their faces were pale. They wore white linen garments that had the mark of the Jade Lake on them, and their hair was like snakes that danced in the wind. In the dim bottom of the lake, it would cause one's hair to stand on end.
It was no wonder that when the large black dog had descended for the first time, he had leaped out of the water in shock, and wanted to lure him down as well.
This was clearly a Celestial lake, yet the scene was like this, and it was indeed terrifying.
There were no fish or aquatic plants in the Celestial lake, and it was deathly silent. Apart from the corpses, there was nothing else.
"Go and look for treasures. I'll wait for you here," Ye Fan transmitted his voice through his divine sense.
"Why do I feel slightly uneasy?" the large black dog muttered.
A dozen or so corpses slowly floated up, and they swam over. They moved with the ripples of the water, and did not rise up by themselves, but even so, it was still terrifying.
There was a waxy substance on the surface of the corpses, and they had long since become corpses of wax. Even so, they should not have remained undecayed forever, and this caused Ye Fan to feel slightly puzzled.
"Are you going to look for treasures or not? If not, we'll go and look for the Western Emperor Scripture," Ye Fan urged.
"Brat, go and see if they have any injuries, and how they died," the large black dog transmitted his voice in an extremely disrespectful manner.
"Why don't you go?" Ye Fan wanted to give him a good beating.
"They are all celestial maidens, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers. They are pleasing to the eye, but my hair stands on end," the large black dog said.
"I want to smack your dog head!"
"F * ck, how can you say that?"
In the end, Ye Fan and the Black Emperor dove down together to examine the corpses. However, the two of them carefully examined the corpses of the several hundred Jade Lake disciples without any injuries, and they could not see any fatal injuries.
"Stop looking. We can't stay in this place for long. Something is not right," Ye Fan urged.
"I want to know why the Jade Lake retreated. Perhaps it has something to do with this lake?" The large black dog was very persistent.
"If you can find out, it will be really troublesome. All the members of the Jade Lake have retreated, and if the two of us really discover any clues, it will be purely seeking death," Ye Fan said in a low voice. "Hurry up and look for treasures. Otherwise, we will immediately retreat."
The large black dog was also slightly scared. Even though he was conceited, when he thought of all the members of a Holy Land retreating, his heart also began to pound.
"What exactly is the reason that made the most prosperous Holy Land in the Eastern Wilderness retreat?"
The Black Emperor dove down to the bottom of the lake, and began to search around, wanting to try his luck in finding celestial materials. In the end, after searching for an hour, the bottom of the lake had become muddy because of him, and he only found a few jade hairpins.
Suddenly, Ye Fan felt a chill run down his spine, and he suddenly turned around. Just behind him, among the pile of female corpses, black hair was messy, and all of it was dancing wildly.
Suddenly, he vaguely saw a pair of eerie eyes open, and through the pile of corpses, a cold and eerie light shot out.
Under this gloomy lake water, Ye Fan's scalp was slightly numb, and he suddenly stepped on the water, rushing upwards.
There were corpses floating above him, and the hair of one of the corpses tangled around his ankle. He forcefully shook it off, and with a splash, he broke through the water, rushing ashore.
The lake water trembled, and in almost an instant, the large black dog rushed out, scurrying and rushing, his bald tail carrying three female corpses.
"Brat, hurry up and help!" The large black dog rushed ashore as if his butt was on fire.
On his bald tail, the hair of the three female corpses were tangled, and they were brought ashore.
The Black Emperor fiercely swung his tail, and finally managed to shake them off. Not long after the three female corpses came into contact with the air, they instantly melted into three pools of liquid.
Ye Fan felt a wave of disgust. He had just been soaking in the lake, and now he saw this scene.
"There seems to be something below. What did you see just now?" the large black dog asked with a dark expression.
"I seemed to have seen a corpse open its eyes. Now that I think about it, it seems like two pearls embedded in the bottom of the lake. Why don't you go down and take a look? In any case, you want to search for treasures," Ye Fan said unkindly.
"F * ck, I'm not looking for treasures anymore!" The large black dog shook his fur violently, and water droplets flew in all directions. His body was black and glossy, and not a single drop of water could be seen on it. He said, "The Celestial Lake has become a Ghost Lake, so there must be something below. Jade Lake Celestial, I think it's a ghost flying. "
"Why do you think there are so many corpses? The people of the Jade Lake should have buried them. Why would they throw them into the Celestial Lake?" Ye Fan was very confused.
"Who knows what's going on? Who knows who threw them down? No matter what, they won't go down!" The large black dog was a little scared.
Ye Fan and the Black Emperor distanced themselves from the Celestial Lake. Looking into the distance, the mist there was swirling. It was unknown whether it was a psychological effect or something else, but it felt slightly gloomy, and no longer holy and pure.
This was an important place, and there were many majestic palaces that had stood until now. They still did not decay, and contained extremely profound dao patterns that could allow them to exist forever.
Ye Fan walked into a huge palace. The floor was paved with jade stones, and it was bright and clean, without a single speck of dust. Even though a long period of time had passed, the palace still had a purifying effect, and there was still not a speck of dust.
"Thud, thud, thud …"
In the spacious palace, only his own footsteps echoed, and they traveled especially far.
Creak, creak!
Clang, clang!
He pushed open the door that had not been opened for countless years, and the sound of the palace echoed. It was as if he had stepped into the ancient Jade Lake.
Standing here, it was as if he could feel the glory of the past. There was a group of beautiful celestial maidens that transcended this land, and they flashed with dazzling light under this starry sky.
Ye Fan stood for a long time before walking forward, passing through one palace after another.
In the tall and vast palace, there was nothing. It was completely empty, and there was only the silence left behind by time.
Ye Fan did not find anything, and it was impossible for him to find anything.
The large black dog wandered around, and passed through a dozen or so huge palaces. In the end, he also returned empty-handed.
"Does the Jade Lake have medicinal fields? So many years have passed, and if they still exist, perhaps they can grow Godly medicines." Ye Fan had just finished speaking when the large black dog dashed out, transforming into a streak of black light. He was as fast as he could be.
"This damned dog is too unreliable!" Ye Fan cursed. He chased closely behind. If it was not for the fact that he had cultivated the old lunatic's movement technique, he would definitely have been left behind. The large black dog ran madly, stirring up a gust of black wind.
After running for more than 20 kilometers, he rushed into a lush land. Only then did the large black dog stop, and wandered around this mountain range.
"Black Emperor, you are too unkind. You run faster than a rabbit when you hear the words' medicinal field '. Why are you not running now?" Ye Fan mocked.
"Am I that unkind? I am waiting for you. Let's go find it together," the large black dog said.
"Why would you be so kind? It must be because you can't find it, right?" Ye Fan walked over.
This mountain range was full of vitality, and there were green plants everywhere. However, there were no medicinal herbs, and there was no smell of medicinal fragrance.
"Strange, putting aside those rare natural treasures, why can't I even see the most ordinary medicinal herbs?" the large black dog muttered in an almost inaudible voice.
Black lines appeared on Ye Fan's forehead. This damned dog really couldn't find it, and it was not waiting here out of goodwill.
In the end, the large black dog sighed sorrowfully, and said, "This is too cruel. The people of the Jade Lake have moved the entire medicinal field away."
If one looked closely, they would discover that there was a huge square pit in the open space in front of them. Even the ground had been taken away.
A bad feeling welled up in Ye Fan's heart. Could it be that the Western Emperor Scripture had also been taken away by someone? Even though the large black dog had repeatedly guaranteed that the people of the Jade Lake would not touch that precipice, now he was uncertain.
"Hurry up and find the Western Emperor Scripture. If the scripture is also gone, I will have the urge to kill someone …"
"Don't worry, no one can understand those scriptures. Even the Queen Mothers of the Jade Lake in the past might not know about them. Even if they are placed in front of you, you won't be able to recognize them. They were created by the Western Emperor Mother when she comprehended Dao, and outsiders can't see anything at all. No one knows that she was the one who carved them."
"Then how do you know?" Ye Fan was doubtful.
"What kind of existence is this emperor? I have heard of this secret with my own ears! "The large black dog said proudly.
Regretfully, they left the medicinal field, and quickly rushed toward a mountain range.
In this place, not even a blade of grass grew. There were precipices everywhere, and there were stone mountains everywhere. There was no soil, and only large rocks.
Just as they entered the mountain range, Ye Fan was stunned. There was a woman carved on the stone wall, and it gave off a feeling that the dao diagram was naturally formed. Although it was a stone carving, it had a natural dao, and the wondrous state of being one with heaven and man.
"This is only a diagram, and there are no techniques. It is just a standing posture, so why does it give off a feeling of being one with heaven and man?" Ye Fan was truly astonished.
"Let's go. There should be many diagrams in this mountain range. If you want to see them, you can slowly study them," the large black dog urged.
Ye Fan reluctantly walked forward, but that diagram kept appearing in his mind.
