When the two carefully made their way to the approximate location of the previous strange phenomenon, they witnessed this shocking scene.
A massive, frozen waterfall cascades down from the sky.
The splashing water and the flocks of white birds flying overhead seemed to be frozen in time, still at a certain moment.
Below the waterfall lies a deep, bottomless pool.
It is said that clear water is shallow, green water is deep, blue water is wide, and black water is abyss.
Before us lay a black lake.
It seems that many people have been here before, hence the mixed atmosphere.
But for some reason, there's been no movement at all now.
"Could the treasure have already been taken?" Zhuang Yaoqing couldn't help but wonder.
Jiang Wuyuan carefully examined it: "Before I came here, I heard that the people of Tianji Sect calculated that the treasure should not be truly revealed for another half month."
Subtracting the first seven days, and the five days it took us to get here, that means the treasure should not have been revealed yet.
"But if it hadn't been taken away, there probably wouldn't be any room to step on the edge of this pool now," Zhuang Yaoqing said, also puzzled.
He didn't believe that no one else was also eyeing that treasure.
"That means someone took it before it was fully mature." Jiang Wuyuan said this because he did not sense any special aura.
The descent of a spiritual being into the world and the appearance of extraordinary phenomena are only one aspect; there will also be wondrous fluctuations of spiritual energy in the vicinity.
This fluctuation is quite unique, and it varies depending on the type of spirit.
But they all achieve the same result through different means.
Although Jiang Wuyuan was shocked by the scene before him, he did not sense any special fluctuations from the spiritual objects.
It's clear that the treasure is no longer nearby.
"Sigh, talking about this makes me miss Zhuge Wangran." Zhuang Yaoqing pouted. "I should ask him to tell my fortune."
Jiang Wuyuan glanced at him: "You've gathered quite a few spiritual herbs along the way."
So don't say such discouraging things.
However, Jiang Wuyuan is now also thinking about where to continue his search.
"If you ask me, we might as well do as Xunwu said and leave it to fate." Zhuang Yaoqing turned his gaze away from the waterfall. "After all, there are many good things in the Xuan Shui Forest. Isn't the reason we come to this secret realm for these opportunities?"
Jiang Wuyuan remained noncommittal.
"Let's not talk about that for now." He suddenly turned around, raised the Star Devourer in front of him, and said, "A sixth-tier magical beast is coming. Get on your flying sword and go first."
Zhuang Yaoqing moved swiftly this time, quickly standing on the flying sword, and was sent far away by Jiang Wuyuan: "Good luck, Jiang!"
Jiang Wuyuan looked up.
A newly ascended sixth-tier magical beast, a three-headed Xuanwen Python.
It peeked out from among the towering, dense trees, its three pairs of cold, serpentine eyes fixed on the tiny human before it, filled with cruelty and bloodlust.
Its nearly kilometer-long body swam across the ground, stirring up a cloud of flying sand and stones.
Without saying a word, he first spat out a mouthful of black venom in the direction of Jiang Wuyuan.
Jiang Wuyuan immediately dodged.
laugh--
The venom fell to the ground, hissing as it corroded the flowers, grass, and soil.
Seeing that the human was quite fast, the Xuanwen Python stopped holding back.
The water element around it grew stronger, and countless water droplets rushed toward Jiang Wuyuan from within its control range.
Some come from moist soil, some from water vapor in the air, and some from water elements in plants.
It was drained, condensed, and then gradually turned into a huge dome, enveloping Jiang Wuyuan.
The energy of the Law of Water is gentle and subtle, yet it clings to the body like a maggot, making it difficult to shake off for a time.
Jiang Wuyuan stared at the increasingly smaller, translucent cage, the Star Devourer in his hand buzzing.
He soothingly stroked the hilt of the Star Devourer's Sword, then raised his hand to form a hand seal.
Sky-shattering!
The spatial rift opened silently, and Jiang Wuyuan stepped into it, only to find that he could not be teleported out.
Does this water sphere also have a suppressive effect on the spatial system?
This is something I've never encountered before.
However, that won't stop him.
War Cry!
boom--
The boy's internal energy and blood surged to a higher level.
The next second, he unleashed the Star Devourer in his hand.
Wind, Splendor!
A divine phantom, hundreds of feet tall, pierced through the cage, its golden sword shining even brighter than its divine light.
The enormous body of the Xuanwen Python was reflected in his calm, still eyes, yet he remained as undisturbed as if looking at an inanimate object.
"Holy shit." In the distance, Zhuang Yaoqing couldn't help but swear.
This was far more shocking than what he saw on the live broadcast of the national competition.
At this moment, it was in his field of vision.
Beneath the waterfall cascading from the sky, a golden deity holds a long sword.
Clouds surrounded the area, and the air was thick with mist.
It seemed that nothing in the world was as bright and dazzling as the sword energy that was about to be unleashed.
"cut--!"
Jiang Wuyuan wielded the Star Devourer forward.
The golden longsword was wreathed in sword intent, possessing a sharpness capable of tearing through anything.
Click—
A tiny crack appeared in the cage formed by the condensation of the laws of water.
But that's enough.
Jiang Wuyuan seized the opportunity and used Rift Slash again.
This time, they successfully escaped the barrier.
The expression in the black-patterned python's eyes became even more sinister.
Those little bugs, damn it.
It will control the laws of water to condense a layer of water film on itself, and then swing its huge, thick tail fiercely towards Jiang Wuyuan.
gap!
Jiang Wuyuan raised his arm and waved it.
The snake's tail, which had been whipped around, disappeared completely into the gap in space.
However, to his surprise, the gap that had allowed him to succeed was torn apart in an instant.
