The Black Pool was definitely not just an ordinary pool, and this thought occurred to Yang Zhen as he surveyed the geographical situation around it, furrowing his brows.
Sao Saint, aware that this Sealed Land perfectly complemented Yang Zhenâs Ksitigarbha Skill, had been observing Yang Zhenâs expression. Seeing Yang Zhenâs furrowed brows, Saint enlarged his eyes, âWhatâs wrong, is there danger?â
The rest also gathered around Yang Zhen. Currently, in the Sealed Land, except for Yang Zhen, everyone was navigating in total darkness and unable to find their way out. If Yang Zhen left quietly at this moment, they wouldnât stand a chance.
Therefore, even though they tried to act indifferent, they had subtly surrounded Yang Zhen.
It wasnât that they intended to confront Yang Zhen; they were afraid that he might slip away suddenly.
Yang Zhen was capable of doing such an unscrupulous thing.
At Sao Saintâs words, everyoneâs gaze fell on Yang Zhen. Elder Qianâs aura was still in turmoil â clearly, the blow he had sustained from the Black Death Clanâs Divine Transformation Stage puppet had significantly impacted him.
âYang, whatâs so peculiar about this Black Pool?â Elder Qian asked. As the most senior person present, his query had everyone all ears.
There was indeed a kind of power lingering over the Black Pool, but Yang Zhen discovered that this Black Pool was far from simple. It was essentially the nexus of the entire Sealed Land. In other words, the whole Sealed Land was set up to target this Black Pool.
Rather than saying that the Sealed Land was sealed to imprison the altar and Black Death Clanâs fighter at the Divine Transformation Stage, it was more accurate to say it was there to seal the Black Pool.
What on earth was buried under the altar?
Such a grand setup must have been for something valuable.
Yang Zhenâs eyes lit up with anticipation, and he waved away concerns, saying, âNothingâs wrong, rest assured. With this Sao Saint here, even if thereâs anything strange, I can make it go away.â
Everyone cheered, all looking at Yang Zhen eagerly.
Theyâd done right to come along!
Everyone who had followed Yang Zhen felt they had made the right choice.
Let alone the fact that a raceâs heritage was buried beneath the Black Pool, just the power that was present, which could resurrect the deceased, had already got everyoneâs eyes popped.
Besides, an entire raceâs heritage was at stake here! Who knew how many secret treasures, divine weapons, Cultivation Methods, and Martial Skills were there?
Even if those were scarce, at least there was a way to forge the body, right?
Who wouldnât want to make their bodies stronger? That way, they could endure a greater quantity of True Essence, and even if they got hurt during a fight, they could persist longer.
In many battles, the one who could hold out till the end was the ultimate victor.
âYang Zhen, can you really open up this Black Pool?â
âEven if you can open the Black Pool, what about the bizarre air inside it? Lu Qiju was injured and driven to madness by it. What if we go in there, and the air erupts once more, wonât we all go mad?â
This was the question everyone cared about most. As for the Divine Transformation Stage puppet from the Black Death Clan, the crowd didnât care as much about it at the moment.
There was definitely something strange about the puppet. Otherwise, if they had faced it two times, they would probably have been killed by now.
If the puppet entered the Sacred Domain, it must have had its own mission, or at the very least, something urgent it needed to do.
The danger of facing a Divine Transformation Stage puppet was something theyâd have to deal with after the puppet had finished what it needed to do. Who knew how long that would take?
If by the time the puppet had finished, they had all returned loaded with treasure, wouldnât that be delightful?
Quite a few quick-minded people were already excited at the thought, their hearts filled with contempt for those practitioners who had left out of fear.
Throughout this, everyoneâs eyes had never left Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen, of course, didnât know what these people were thinking. In fact, even if he did, he wouldnât care because he had found that the Undying Clan had a deep understanding of the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth. To obtain their heritage without any knowledge of the Ksitigarbha and Mysteries of Heaven and Earth was virtually impossible.
Seeing everyoneâs eager faces, Yang Zhen laughed heartily, saying âRest easy, everyone. Sao Saint is very kind-hearted. Since Iâve brought you all here, I will ensure your safetyâ¦â
At this point, under Sao Saintâs skeptical gaze, Yang Zhen continued with righteous indignation, âNot only will I ensure everyoneâs safety, I will help everyone safely enter the Black Pool and thus the Undying Clanâs heritage site. That way, if that Divine Transformation Stage puppet from the Black Death Clan appears, we can unite and confront it together!â
âGood!â
Elder Qian said with a deep voice, looking around, âSince Young Master Yang has such a clear grasp of the greater good, I will state my terms upfront. If we have to face that Divine Transformation Stage puppet, should anyone flee in the heat of battle, donât blame my Ancient Spirit Race for being ruthless!â
âMy Sha Clan also disdains company with such cowards!â The Sha Clan Elder said with a cold expression.
Lu Tianwei looked at Yang Zhen suspiciously, his eyes filled with doubt, but given his own cultivation level, he couldnât identify anything unusual in Yang Zhenâs demeanor.
âHeavenly Snow Holy Domain wonât tolerate this either,â Ji Yourong said softly, causing a commotion.
The Heavenly Snow Holy Domain was definitely a major power in the Northern Island. Offending the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain meant one wouldnât find a place to stay, even if one managed to escape from here alone.
At Ji Yourongâs words, everyone present was taken aback, and they quickly pledged to tackle the Divine Transformation Stage contestant together.
Furthermore, it wasnât necessarily the case that they would have to confront that terrible thing. What did their current pledge mean?
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He didnât expect his remarks to cause such a stir, and he felt a bit embarrassed. He decided to truly lead everyone in.
âEveryone, step aside. Watch how Sao Saint breaks the spell!â
Yang Zhen rolled up his sleeves and began to walk towards the Black Pool, under the doubtful gaze of the crowd.
âMaster Yang be careful!â Elder Qian shouted softly. His eyes were sharp as he watched Yang Zhen, ready to rescue him at any moment if Yang Zhen were to be hit by the bizarre force.
The rest also showed an anxious expression.
Buzzâ!
With every step Yang Zhen took, a wave of black energy would condense in the air above the Black Pool, surging wildly in all directions.
âNo good. Itâs that energy!â
Everyone felt like they had been struck by lightning, staring at the terrifying sight of the black wave sweeping in.
However, everyone had already studied the range covered by the black wave, and amongst those present, only Yang Zhen had stepped into it.
Everyoneâs heart skipped a beat as they saw the black wave enveloping Yang Zhen.
Boomâ!
Within the black wave, Yang Zhen swayed slightly, a surprised expression on his face.
The one who could set up such a grand scheme was certainly not ordinary. Despite Yang Zhenâs current mastery of Ksitigarbha and Mysteries of Heaven and Earth, he had still not spotted any signs.
Pat!
A crisp sound rang out, Yang Zhen lifted his foot and took another step in.
Boom rumbleâ!
The entire Black Pool seemed to boil over, the black water bubbling and roaring like waves in a vast ocean.
Everyone was taken aback, their eyes wide in astonishment as they watched the black pool.
At this moment, Yang Zhen suddenly saw a glint of brightness in front of him, and a smile stretched across his face, âFound you!â
