Mofan tried to get closer so that Little Loach could take a closer look. However, on second thought, he realized that these were just ancient images that were projected using the distortion of space and chaos. It was like a holographic movie. How could it possibly emit energy for Little Loach to absorb?
However, Mofan was too familiar with the water in the well. Its purity, its luster, its softness, and its quivering was higher than water's density. It was as unique as sake!
"Is it really the Geyser Spring?" Mubai and Zhang Xiaohou went closer to take a look.
They had never seen the Geyser Spring before, so they were not familiar with the Geyser Spring. They could only look at Mofan.
"Yes, it must be," Song Feiyao said confidently.
She had been cultivating in the Xiayu Mystical Realm since she was young. Her cultivation had been nurtured by the Geyser Spring. How could she be wrong!?
"So you're saying that the Sacred Totem has always been with us, and we never noticed it?" Mofan's heart skipped a beat.
Geyser Spring, the Sacred Totem, where was the Sacred Totem?
They only saw some ancient city soldiers that could "come alive" from the ancient city walls. They didn't see the saint totem's true body at all. They didn't even see the saint totem's appearance.
If this place was the tomb of the Sacred Totem, where were its remains?
"Geyser Spring is the Totem Power of the Sacred Totem," Ling Ling said to Mofan after walking around the Geyser Spring.
"Sigh, there's no point here. Why don't we travel to the Four Oceans and see if the old Black Tortoise is still alive? My old turtle Baxia likes to travel to the Four Oceans. I asked him what he was doing, and he said he was looking for something, but he didn't know what it was. In my opinion, Baxia is looking for his father, the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise is either in the Arctic Ocean or the Antarctic Ocean …" Zhao Manyan said.
After going through untold hardships to obtain this result, he felt as if he had taken a big detour back to the starting point. He finally understood the origin of the Underground Holy Spring, and also understood the power of the Sacred Totem. However, this couldn't bring about any substantial changes.
"Forget about the Black Tortoise for now. Where did the walls go?" Jiang Shaoxu suddenly asked.
"It's most likely torn down by the people of the future. Some of them were left in the Martial Enlightenment Ancient City, and only the gate is left here. The rest of the walls must have become part of some of the cities over the past few thousand years. They are nowhere to be found," Zhao Manyan said.
"We can ask Xiao Tai's father. He has been guarding this place for a long time, so he must know the city … Wow, look at that guy with a rotten face!" Zhang Xiaohou suddenly pointed at a general on the path.
The general was wearing a tattered armor. His hair was disheveled, and he was walking toward the Moon Well tiredly. He looked exactly like Xiao Tai's father!
"Holy crap, how long has this guy lived? The city is around two or three thousand years old, right?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
Someone that had existed for two or three thousand years …
They had no idea what level the man was at. Luckily, they did not resort to violence.
"Are we still going to look for it? I feel like this is the end. The Sacred Totem has already died a few thousand years ago," Zhang Xiaohou was hesitant.
"Let's ask the living dead first. Let's leave this place," Mo Fan let out a long sigh.
As the group headed toward the gate, the scenery in the ancient city gradually returned to how it was when they first arrived. It was peaceful and orderly. Not long after, the sky would be dyed red again. The ancient phenomenon would repeat itself day after day. It was hard to tell if it was trying to tell the future generations something, or if it had become a "climate" that belonged to the place.
Just like the guardians of the Geyser Spring, they had forgotten why they were here to protect it.
The living dead in the tomb no longer insisted on preventing people from entering the mysterious place.
"Should we look for the walls? I feel like they might be of some help to us, "Jiang Shaoxu suggested.
"There are no clues. Where were the walls moved to? The only information we have is that there are some statues in the Martial Enlightenment Ancient City, but those statues are only a small part of it," Mo Fan shook his head and said.
It was unlikely that they would be able to find any clues. Most importantly, the Sacred Totem had already died a few thousand years ago. It was meaningless to look for it now.
Perhaps the Black Totem Snake, the White Tiger, the Gyrfalcon God, the Moon Moth Phoenix, and the other Totem Beasts that were still alive were the incarnations of the Sacred Totem Beasts.
They had confirmed that two of the four Sacred Totem Beasts were gone. They had no idea where to start looking for the other two, or if they could make it in time.
"Let's go to Kunlun. There must be something we want to know there, and some Totem Beasts that we have never heard of before," Zhang Xiaohou suggested.
Mo Fan shook his head.
They had to go to Kunlun, but not now.
Without a complete clue about the Totem Seal, going to Kunlun would only be a waste of time. They had to find the Totem Beasts related to the White Tiger, so they had a clear direction.
"Then … then let's go to the Ancient Capital. We need to eliminate the undead in the Ancient Capital. We can only focus on the battle in the East after we have secured the rear," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"The situation at the Ancient Capital is like that. The Ancient King is suppressing the undead, so the undead will surely accumulate a strong grudge. It's like a dam and a river. There's no way the river will be blocked forever. Why don't we open up a floodgate? As long as we don't open it too big, it won't flood the farms and villages. The undead will provide us with some resources and a layer of protection," Mo Fan shook his head.
The undead of the Ancient Capital had been in the same situation for thousands of years.
It was impossible to eliminate the undead, and the Ancient King would not be able to protect the Ancient Capital forever. The outcome that the Queen of the Netherworld had mentioned would come sooner or later, so they could only rely on the Ancient Capital to deal with it. They had to coexist with the undead and rely on the protection of the undead to fend them off.
Mubai nodded. The situation at the Ancient Capital had always been like that.
The arrival of the calamity had caused great damage to the Ancient Capital. At that time, the Ancient King was suppressing the undead, giving the Ancient Capital time to recuperate. Now that the Ancient Capital was thriving again, there were powerful Magicians with the presence of the undead. With the presence of the undead, many people could earn a living. It was the unique characteristic of the land.
There were typhoons in the south, earthquakes in the inland, sandstorms in the north, typhoons, earthquakes, and dust in the north. There were very few people who left their homes because these natural disasters had become a part of their lives.
"Then we'll follow Brother Zhao's suggestion and look for the Black Tortoise in the Arctic Ocean. I haven't been there before," Zhang Xiaohou said in a hurry.
Zhao Manting slapped Zhang Xiaohou's back and said with a laugh, "I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. Why would we go to the Arctic Ocean? The Iceberg Beasts are no joke. The whole of Northern Europe has suffered greatly from them. "
"Monkey, you seem to be in a hurry to arrange things for us?" Mo Fan suddenly frowned and stared at Zhang Xiaohou.
"No, I'm not, I'm just …" Zhang Xiaohou suddenly stopped talking when he saw Mo Fan's gaze.
Zhang Xiaohou had always been like this when he was with Mo Fan. Whenever Mo Fan was serious, he would forget that he was a famous general …
"Is it because General Hua doesn't want us to go back? Did something happen along the coast?" Mo Fan asked.
