Capítulo 2111: Chapter 2111: Fang Bai “Falls
Peng Wu, Yu Feng, and Ying Luo shared the sa thought.
Seeing immortals screaming miserably as they flew out of Dragon Blood Lake, all covered in wounds, they turned pale and felt a faint fear in their hearts.
A hundred years ago, although Peng Wu and the other two immortals had entered the Five Elents Tower for training, their strength was far inferior to now. Therefore, they did not stay long, withdrawing due to the impossibility to withstand the oppression of the Immortal Might, never having soaked in the Dragon Blood Lake.
“How about it? Do you have the courage to give it a try?”
Xuan Ze turned around, his gaze sweeping over the four immortals behind him. He asked with a smile, a hint of provocation in his tone.
Fang Bai smiled faintly, tapped his feet lightly, and auspicious clouds ford beneath him, carrying him as he flew down from the mountain peak to the edge of Dragon Blood Lake.
“I’ll go too!”
Seeing that Fang Bai, the strongest among them, was fearless, Peng Wu took a deep breath, patted his chest, and flew down beside Fang Bai.
“I’ll join as well.”
Ying Luo and Yu Feng both gritted their teeth, ready to take the plunge and try the Dragon Blood Lake, even at the risk of being injured.
For immortals, training is often a combination of opportunity and peril; the greater the peril, the greater the opportunity.
Peng Wu and the other two immortals embarked on this journey with the belief that it would be a narrow escape from death. They knew that if they retreated at the first sign of difficulty, they would surely miss any great opportunities, and their cultivation levels would not advance.
Seeing all four immortals ready to enter the Dragon Blood Lake, Xuan Ze nodded silently.
Xuan Ze was eager to ntor Fang Bai, Peng Wu, and the other two “younger generations,” but if they didn’t dare to attempt the Dragon Blood Lake training, they were destined to achieve little on the path of immortality. He would not bother guiding them further.
He greatly admired Fang Bai for stepping forward first.
Regarding Peng Wu and the other two immortals’ earlier concerns and hesitations, he felt a little regretful at first. But when they followed Fang Bai to the lake, he showed a relieved smile.
The waters of Dragon Blood Lake had beneficial effects on all the immortals entering the third space of the Five Elents Tower, even for Immortal Venerable Realm Experts.
Therefore, among those soaking in Dragon Blood Lake at the mont, the strongest was an Immortal Venerable Realm Expert, one of the few such experts training in the third space of the Five Elents Tower.
The majority in the lake were Heavenly Immortal Realm Experts, with cultivation levels similar to Xuan Ze, numbering over ten.
The remaining few spots in the lake were occupied by Earth Immortal Realm Experts.
However, it was rare for those Earth Immortal Realm Experts to soak in Dragon Blood Lake for more than twenty breaths, resulting in a cycle of Earth Immortal Realm Experts coming and going in the lake.
Any immortal with experience in Dragon Blood Lake knew that soaking for less than a hundred breaths would yield little benefit for cultivation.
Thus, most immortals entered the lake for a re trial.
Xuan Ze, having trained in the Five Elents Tower multiple tis, never missed the chance to soak whenever Dragon Blood Lake appeared.
He attributed his current Heavenly Immortal Realm of the fifth grade to the soaking experience a hundred years ago.
“Be careful and protect yourselves. I’ll go in first!”
Arriving at Dragon Blood Lake, Xuan Ze left this ssage to Fang Bai and the other three immortals before leaping into the lake. Only his head remained above the water surface, while his entire body sank into the water to soak.
Except for Fang Bai, when Peng Wu and the other three saw Xuan Ze in the lake, within a few breaths, sweat beaded on his forehead, his face showing pain, as if enduring gritted teeth, they could not help but feel uneasy.
They knew they couldn’t retreat now; otherwise, they would lose Xuan Ze’s respect and risk their own heart’s resolve becoming unstable, which would be detrintal to their future cultivation.
“Jump!”
At Peng Wu’s soft shout, Fang Bai and the other three immortals leaped into the lake together.
As Peng Wu and the other two immortals’ bodies soaked into the lake, they felt as if countless powerful forces were ripping their skin and flesh apart, invading their bodies as if thousands of spears and swords simultaneously pierced them. That kind of pain was beyond words, causing their facial features to twist and sweat to pour.
They gritted their teeth to persevere, circulating Immortal Laws, desperately absorbing the essence from Dragon Blood Lake, but only managed for about ten breaths before the overwhelming pain seed to engulf them, forcing them to fly out one after another, landing on the lake shore.
“Fang… Immortal Friend Fang?”
After coming ashore, Peng Wu, Ying Luo, and Yu Feng looked around but didn’t see Fang Bai, their hearts sinking as they all looked toward the lake.
On the hundred-zhang wide lake surface, they saw Xuan Ze still gritting his teeth to hold on. Yet, after searching back and forth several tis, they didn’t find a trace of Fang Bai.
They sent their Divine Sense into the lake, only to find it could only go down a few ters deep before an invisible force blocked it.
Yu Feng looked at the lake surface, showing a remorseful expression, murmuring, “Immortal Friend Fang’s cultivation level is slightly weaker than ours… could it be he already…”
Peng Wu sighed, “We can’t even sense his aura… it’s likely indeed…”
“Immortal Friend Fang is so young and has the Innate Spiritual Root, if he were unhard, he would surely have an infinitely bright future in the Immortal Dao… what a pity…”
Ying Luo’s eyes reddened slightly, and her voice trembled as she spoke.
Having known Fang Bai, and with Fang Bai’s ancestors having ties with their sect’s predecessors, they felt deep sorrow over Fang Bai’s fall.
Convinced that Fang Bai was swallowed by the lake and perished within it, they stood sadly by the lake for a mont before each taking an Immortal Pill to heal their injuries.
During this ti, the gentle sound of water was heard occasionally, as one immortal after another could not endure, breaking out of the lake surface.
After a hundred breaths, Xuan Ze, wounded all over, appeared on the shore of Dragon Blood Lake.
“Where is Fang Bai?”
After taking several Immortal Pills and regulating his breathing for a mont, Xuan Ze felt he was okay and ca before Peng Wu and the other two immortals, asking solemnly.
When he leaped out of the lake, he glanced around casually. Seeing no sign of Fang Bai gave him an ominous premonition, but his body had been severely damaged in Dragon Blood Lake, and he had to heal for a mont before inquiring.
After healing, Peng Wu and the other two immortals’ injuries had greatly improved. Hearing this, they all stood up.
Peng Wu sighed deeply, shook his head, and answered, “Immortal Friend Fang… couldn’t make it up…”
“How could this happen…”
Though this outco was expected, Xuan Ze still found it hard to accept. He thought that with Fang Bai’s Innate Spiritual Root, his endurance in the lake should be similar to Peng Wu and the other two immortals, not enough to fall.
“What a pity indeed…”
Xuan Ze too released his Divine Sense, searching Dragon Blood Lake, but indeed found no trace of Fang Bai, confirming that Fang Bai had truly perished. He couldn’t help but look up and close his eyes, sighing audibly.
