Behind the bronze gate was a magnificent hall, supported by a total of thirty columns, each as thick as a person’s embrace, and adorned with ancient, intricate, and beautifully lavish patterns.
The red-haired girl saw the patterns on these columns and displayed a look of surprise, quickly walking over with great excitent.
Xiao Zheng curiously asked, "Do these patterns have any aning?"
The red-haired girl stroked the patterns, nodded, and said, "Look at these patterns; they depict the history of our Blood Clan!"
"History?"
Xiao Zheng was surprised.
The red-haired girl explained, "The Blood Clan is a race with a very long and illustrious history, but as ti passed, many things have lost their docuntation. In Netherworld King City,
there are many ancient tos, but so historical fragnts are incomplete.
Yet, these patterns seem to be able to fill in those missing historical fragnts! My heavens, once these patterns are published, they will definitely cause great excitent within the Blood Clan."
Xiao Zheng saw the red-haired girl so animated and couldn’t help but smile wryly. He didn’t expect such a formidable girl to have such a keen interest in history.
"What do they say?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"It seems to be... about the first Blood Clan war, so legends regarding the Blood Clan Ancestor who led the Blood Clan to carve out living space..." The red-haired girl closely examined the patterns, occasionally furrowing her brow,
as these patterns were very special symbols unique to the Blood Clan, exceedingly complex and difficult to understand.
Xiao Zheng had rely asked out of curiosity, not particularly interested in the history of the Blood Clan, and seeing the red-haired girl absorbed in her study, he decided not to disturb her further, instead turning his gaze elsewhere.
Then, he saw what was in the center of the hall.
It was a blood pool!
The Blood Clan has blood pools, created using very special thods and materials. If a clan mber suffers severe injuries, imrsion in the blood pool allows for rapid recovery.
Moreover, in certain legends, the most elite blood pools can grant rebirth to Blood Clan mbers whose lives have reached their limits! They are said to be the most miraculous objects concerning ti.
However, such blood pools only exist in legend; at least, none have been seen in present tis.
The blood pool at the center of the hall exuded an ancient aura, as if inherited from ancient tis, but the pool was already dried up, leaving only so black marks, likely the coagulated remains of ancient blood.
Xiao Zheng, intrigued by the blood pool, walked closer for a detailed inspection.
He discovered that the area around the blood pool was also engraved with nurous patterns, which appeared far more exquisite and splendid than those on the columns outside.
Even Xiao Zheng, at first glance, felt a sense of transcendental awe, as though observing a master’s work, experiencing an intense impact; the patterns almost seed to co alive!
"It seems these patterns should be more precious than those on the columns," Xiao Zheng thought to himself. Although he didn’t understand the Blood Clan’s pattern-based information, he assud that those engraved on the blood pool were more significant.
With this in mind, Xiao Zheng called over the captivated red-haired girl, directing her attention to the edge of the blood pool and said, "Look at this."
The red-haired girl looked and imdiately widened her eyes, akin to a little girl seeing her beloved toy, exclaiming in delight, "Oh my!"
"These are Ancestral symbols!" the red-haired girl said breathlessly, "These are the most ancient and prestigious symbols within our Blood Clan. Even I don’t recognize many of them; they only appear in the most valuable ancient records, recording the most precious things."
Xiao Zheng chuckled, teasingly saying, "Calm down, your enthusiasm is spilling over."
The red-haired girl shot Xiao Zheng a glare and then bowed her head to examine the ancient, noble Blood Clan symbols, fully absorbed.
Seeing how completely engrossed she beca, Xiao Zheng decided not to interrupt her and continued to explore the hall.
He wondered to himself, earlier, the source of that mysterious, unsettling power must have been here, yet why had nothing happened upon arriving?
"What secret does this hall conceal?" Xiao Zheng mused, looking up at the do of the hall, where an ancient oil painting depicted the Blood Clan’s Netherworld King in scenes of conquest.
The scene was grand and heroic, with the Netherworld King wielding a blood-red spear, piercing through the chests of nurous adversaries, invincible wherever he went.
Seeing this painting, Xiao Zheng felt his heart surge, experiencing the broad and majestic atmosphere emanating from the artwork, as if he were placed in that grand battleground!
"To be human like the Netherworld King, to conquer all directions, to vanquish formidable foes, to fight undefeated," Xiao Zheng sighed inwardly.
Within the Martial Arts World, the legend of the Netherworld King always existed. After all, being the ancestor of the Blood Clan, the legend stated he wasn’t a divine but a truly existent Blood Clan mber, whose powers reached extraordinary heights.
"Co quickly!"
Suddenly, at this mont, the red-haired girl exclaid, startling Xiao Zheng from his reverie.
"What is it?" Xiao Zheng stepped over and asked.
The red-haired girl pointed at a section of the ornate patterns along the blood pool’s edge, "These record that the blood pool before us is an ancient blood pool!"
"An ancient blood pool?" Xiao Zheng was taken aback.
"That’s it, the legendary pool capable of transforming death into life!" the red-haired girl explained.
"What?" Even with Xiao Zheng’s steadiness and composure, he couldn’t help but be surprised.
He looked at the dried-up massive pool before him, disbelief written across his face; was this pool the legendary blood pool capable of transforming death into life?
Quickly, Xiao Zheng regained his composure, sighed, "What a pity, what a pity, this blood pool has already dried up; otherwise, it might have incited a storm with its existence throughout the world."
Xiao Zheng wasn’t exaggerating; such a pool could restore life to the dying. For a living being, nothing held greater allure than this! Sustaining life is every creature’s instinct.
