the blood-colored pool stretched as far as he could see. when long chen approached it, he was shocked to find that this lake wasn’t filled with water but was truly formed of blood. furthermore, it was the terrifying essence blood.

the powerful fluctuations coming from the lake gave long chen chills. this kind of power was something he had only sensed from the alldevil monster’s essence blood.

dense mist swirled out of the lake so that he couldn’t see far; however, he saw floating logs on the lake that formed a strange bridge.

this bridge was not steady. there were many random logs in constant motion, and it seemed he was supposed to jump across them to reach the other side. that was very dangerous.

eventually, qu jianying stepped forward to try it on her own. even after a long time, she didn’t see anyone else come to try it.

qu jianying jumped onto one of the logs, and it rocked in the water. there was danger of falling in at any moment.

long chen guessed that there was no way to fly in this region, or qu jianying would have just flown right there.

as he looked deeper into the mist, the water suddenly surged. a strange lifeform jumped out of the water and at qu jianying.

it was a humanoid with a fish tail and eight horns on its head. it opened a huge mouth full of sinister teeth as it tried to bite qu jianying.

qu jianying slashed with a sword. however, it wasn’t a true sword but one condensed of her yuan spirit energy. she killed the creature in one attack.

as soon as she killed it, the surface of the lake exploded. countless other blood-colored creatures charged at her.

qu jianying quickly retreated to the shore where the creatures were unable to cross. after a few furious roars, they unwillingly retreated.

“damn, what are these? how could they be so terrifying? furthermore, that resentment coming from them, they don’t seem like a real species. they’re quite similar to the resentful spirits in stories.”

qu jianying didn’t dare to touch this lake water. it was too strange. as for those monsters, although they weren’t very powerful, at the end, they had come at her in such terrifying numbers that it was all too possible to end up falling into the water.

qu jianying didn’t dare to try it again. she found a place to hide herself by the shore.

after an unknown amount of time, someone finally appeared. it was a humanoid, but his body was small. he was like a dwarf and was only three feet tall.

he looked at the lake for a long time. it was unknown whether or not qu jianying had used some secret art to conceal herself, but he didn’t notice her.

after examining the blood lake carefully, he slowly touched the surface of it and immediately let out a shrill scream.

the finger he had used to touch the lake had turned to mist, and that mist continued to burn away the rest of his body. his hand instantly vanished. the speed at which it spread was shocking.

the dwarf immediately cut off his arm at the shoulder. by that time, his arm up to his elbow had vanished.nôv(el)b\\jnn

less than half a breath’s time after his arm landed on the ground, it vanished into mist. the elder’s face was pale.

as the surface of the lake rose, long chen saw some splashing. eventually, he saw the mouth of a spring from which the blood water was flowing out. there was a stone tablet there with three crooked words. they didn’t seem like immortal characters. in any case, long chen didn’t recognize them.

“yellow springs path.”

“what? doesn’t the yellow springs path only exist in folklore? plus, shouldn’t it be yellow?” asked long chen.

“i don’t know either. i just recognize those three characters. that damn yun shang, return my memories!” raged evilmoon. it was more and more sure that yun shang had taken away a portion of its memories.

alright, perhaps the yellow springs weren’t yellow. among the common folk, there was a saying to stop digging if you struck yellow water when digging a well, because that well would lead to the land of the dead.

but wasn’t that just nonsense? the soil people lived on was yellow. it was only natural that when the first water came out, it would be yellow. if that saying was true, wouldn’t there be no wells?

that was why this saying was not trustworthy at all and was mostly only told during stories. however, now that evilmoon had said what those characters were, long chen’s heart thumped. for some reason, he felt a chill.

qu jianying continued to advance. there was no way to sense the flow of time here, but eventually she reached a giant whirlpool.

now long chen saw an even more shocking scene. there were nine lakes, all different colors.

red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, violet, white, and black lake water was gathering here, forming a gigantic whirlpool.

“this is the legendary nine springs? below the nine springs is the land of the dead?” long chen’s hair stood on end. were the stories told by the common people actually true?

if they were, what of the ox-head and horse-face guardians of the underworld? what of the black and white deities of the dead? what of the asuras of purgatory?

long chen felt like he couldn’t accept this. having cultivated to this point, he now saw things on his cultivation path that were only spoken of in stories by the weakest commoners of the land.

qu jianying paused where the nine springs gathered. the water was flowing, but the wooden logs didn’t move. the strange monsters of the lake had also vanished.

long chen carefully examined the nine springs. he felt like he was close to grasping some kind of mysterious element to them, but then that feeling vanished.

“these nine springs are definitely hiding some kind of secret.” long chen was sure about this. this was a kind of intuition that he felt very clearly.

regretfully, all he was seeing was some memories. many things could not be transmitted through just the five senses. he was also only able to experience it as qu jianying had experienced it.

qu jianying continued forward. a straight set of stairs appeared descending into the center of the whirlpool.

when qu jianying reached the bottom, long chen saw that the waterfall of lake water was actually flowing in reverse here, forming a strange cycle.

continuing on the path, he suddenly saw a giant gate. this gate also had three characters on it.

“gates of hell.”

evilmoon recognized them again. what it said caused long chen’s heart to pound.
