"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
With a thought, he executed the first transformation, turning once again into the appearance of a Spirit Clan mber. From the Shennong Ring, he retrieved the black bamboo hat, put it on, and with a flick of his hands, cast the Wind Spirit Technique on both of them, hurrying forward.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Having learned from past lessons, Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling were exceptionally cautious, constantly using their Divine Thought to survey the surroundings.
On this day, Zhang Xiaohao casually slew a Foundation Establishnt Mid-stage beast, taking its Companion Spirit Fruit.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, gazing towards the east.
"Hmm? There are actually other people here!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Brother Xu, what’s wrong?" Zi Wuling asked in confusion.
"There are actually other people here!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Other people? Could it be that the legend is true?" Zi Wuling said, her brows furrowed.
"What legend?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in confusion.
"It’s said that in the Weishui Mountain Range, nurous cave dwellings of Great Power mbers of the Spirit Clan are hidden! These cave dwellings were deliberately prepared before they painted, leaving behind their inheritance to ensure it doesn’t vanish! However, most are Golden Core Realm inheritances. I once heard a guard in the City Lord Mansion ntion that his successful core formation was thanks to entering a cave of a Nascent Soul Old Monster, where he obtained a Heaven Creation Pill, thus achieving the Golden Core Realm!" Zi Wuling explained.
"So, are these people here for the cave dwellings in the Weishui Mountain Range?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Yes! That should be it! A thousand years ago, during the battle between the Mu Ye Clan and the Tianfeng Clan, countless experts were buried here. But these cave dwellings are extrely secretive, and without a key item to guide you, it’s impossible to find the dwellings of these Great Powers." Zi Wuling said.
"In that case, why don’t we follow them and take a look to see what they’re up to?" Zhang Xiaohao suggested.
"Okay, I’ll follow Brother Xu." Zi Wuling nodded.
"Let’s go! Conceal our auras, and let’s head over now." Zhang Xiaohao said.
Zi Wuling nodded, and her Innate Divine Ability was activated, instantly shooting countless green leaves from her body, forming a strange symbol that disappeared back into her body.
Zhang Xiaohao didn’t delay either, operating the Three Pure Ones Scripture, sweeping his Divine Thought to enshroud himself entirely. Instantly, his aura completely vanished as if he had never been there.
"Let’s go!" Zhang Xiaohao called out.
Together with Zi Wuling, he headed towards the northeast.
After half an hour.
Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling quietly followed a group of Loose Cultivators from behind, keeping a distance of two miles, silently advancing forward.
"Miss Zi, who do you think these people are?" Zhang Xiaohao curiously asked.
"It’s hard to say! There’s sothing about so of them that gives a familiar feeling, as if I’ve seen them before." Zi Wuling said, furrowing her brows.
"So, they’re also from Ming Han Snow City?" Zhang Xiaohao said solemnly.
"Probably! But from their looks, it seems like they’re divided into three groups, each guarding against the other." Zi Wuling said.
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
Before them, more than fifty people were present, the weakest of whom were all at the Foundation Establishnt Early Stage. The leader was at the Foundation Establishnt Realm Peak, with the group moving rapidly and swiftly forward.
Zhang Xiaohao and Zi Wuling quietly followed behind them, advancing without a sound.
After roughly half a day, the group stopped in a secluded valley, where a blood-red cold pond, nearly a thousand feet wide, continuously emitted strands of blood-red, eerie aura.
Here, the group abruptly halted.
The leader patted his waist, took out a rabbit, and tossed it into the cold pond. An astonishing scene unfolded.
As the rabbit entered the blood-red cold pond, it imdiately withered into a skeleton, floating on the blood-red surface.
Hiss!!!
Seeing this, each Loose Cultivator gasped in shock, instinctively retreating three steps to avoid contact with the blood-red pond.
After the panic subsided, the Loose Cultivators quickly cald down, as if accustod to the sight.
They exchanged glances, solemnly retrieving a blood-red pearl from their storage bags, placing it in their mouths. The leader gestured for a Cultivator to step forward and test the waters.
Imdiately, a Cultivator stepped forward, pearl in mouth, and leaped into the blood-red cold pond with a push from a foot.
Plop!
The blood-red water splashed from the cold pond, and a blood-red glow enveloped him as he sank deeper.
Upon seeing this, those onshore had a fervent look, staring intently at the cold pond.
Roar!
At this mont, a low roar resounded from within the blood-red cold pond. The pond began to churn violently, and a black figure shot out, floating on the surface. It was a skeleton.
...
"This is the legendary Blood Domain Cold Pond!" Zi Wuling exclaid.
"Blood Domain Cold Pond? What is that?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in confusion.
"Legend has it that the Blood Domain Cold Pond is ford by the deaths of a hundred Golden Core Strong People over a thousand years! Once the pond forms, even a Nascent Soul Old Monster, if coming without a Blood Domain Pearl, would regretfully perish from the accumulated corpse poison! Even with a Blood Domain Pearl, unless the Blood Domain Beast Spirit within is drawn out and slain, anyone entering ets a dead end!" Zi Wuling explained.
"Is the Blood Domain Beast Spirit very strong?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Yes! In the Blood Domain Cold Pond, as long as the pond isn’t dry, it is invincible! After thousands of years of nurturing, even the weakest Blood Domain Beast Spirit has the Fake Core Realm cultivation!" Zi Wuling said.
"Fake Core?" Zhang Xiaohao queried in confusion.
"It’s the Half-step Golden Core Realm, just a step from breaking into the Golden Core Realm! Even a hundred Foundation Establishnt Peak Cultivators face certain death against a Fake Core Realm Cultivator!" Zi Wuling explained.
"So, beneath this Blood Domain Cold Pond, there might be so heavenly materials and treasures?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Limitless Blood Pill—!" Zi Wuling exclaid.
