Don't be fooled by the fact that this lake appears crystal clear in the dream world, where you can even see the fish inside.
But in reality, the lake water was murky, looking like black water.
In addition, Qin Hao could also see a large amount of evil energy floating in the lake, which was very similar to the kind in the Holy Demon Universe.
However, this Divine Origin Illusion Vine grows in the lake water.
And you know what? The Divine Origin Illusion Vine requires this kind of illusionary realm where countless lives have perished, and it can only be nurtured in lake water.
Therefore, we can see two extremes here.
The Divine Origin Illusion Vine looked incredibly magical, radiating a seven-colored halo – this was Qi.
In addition, one can also feel the strong spiritual energy emanating from the Divine Origin Illusion Vine.
The lake was a complete mess, and Qin Hao could smell a very pungent stench from the lakeside.
Qin Hao stood above the lake, his feet seemingly treading on thin air, and walked step by step toward the center of the lake.
At this moment, he frowned deeply, pinching his nose with one hand because the smell was simply too unpleasant.
Even so, it still made his stomach churn.
Just when he was only 10 steps away from the Divine Origin Illusion Vine, an unexpected event occurred.
Suddenly, the lake water surged violently, and a huge fish flew out of the lake in an instant.
This is clearly a demonic beast, no, it should be called a ferocious beast.
Ferocious beasts and divine beasts are of roughly the same level. The reason why divine beasts are divine beasts is that they can transform into human form and then cultivate and attain enlightenment just like humans.
But ferocious beasts are different; no matter how strong their cultivation is, they can never transform into human form.
In addition, the ferocious beasts are inherently brutal and lack intelligence.
Their cultivation primarily relies on preying on other creatures to increase their cultivation level. In addition, they also use evil energy to enhance their cultivation level.
The fish in front of us is enormous, about the size of a whale on Blue Star.
Of course, besides being huge, this fish monster was also extremely ferocious and ugly.
"Roar!"
Each time the giant fish leaped out of the sea, it roared at Qin Hao, issuing a warning.
Although ferocious beasts are not very intelligent, they can still feel fear.
Qin Hao's current cultivation level is Martial God Rank 12, so he couldn't feel anything after facing the mental attack from the Illusion Demon Valley.
It was precisely because of this that the fish monster was somewhat wary of Qin Hao.
Otherwise, Qin Hao might have been swallowed up before he even got close to the Divine Origin Illusion Vine, perhaps even before he reached the surface of the lake.
"A ferocious beast comparable to Martial Emperor 100th Tier, impressive! No wonder this place is called a forbidden area."
Qin Hao looked at the giant fish and sighed.
While talking, Qin Hao did not stop walking and continued towards the Divine Origin Illusion Vine.
Generally, wherever there are spiritual herbs or immortal herbs, there will be a very ferocious demon beast or ferocious beast living nearby.
Monsters are alright; once they reach the Martial Venerable, they will transform into human form. At that point, they won't be guarding a magical herb anymore; instead, they'll just devour it directly.
Unlike other ferocious beasts, which cannot transform into human form, they would not eat the immortal herbs. For them, eating them would be a waste, so it would be better to leave them behind to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish their cultivation.
Therefore, this ferocious beast was currently trying to prevent Qin Hao from getting close to the Divine Origin Illusion Vine, constantly baring its teeth and roaring at Qin Hao, hoping to scare Qin Hao away.
This scene is like encountering a vicious dog. The dog sees you as someone it can't bully and only dares to bark wildly from the side. It's extremely ferocious. If you move forward, it retreats; if you retreat, it moves forward to try and bite you.
In reality, they didn't dare to bite at all, otherwise they would have already started biting.
That's exactly what the giant fish looked like at that moment.
But Qin Hao didn't care. He simply raised his hand, and the giant fish was instantly frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
This was Qin Hao using a time-stopping technique on it, causing Time Stop in a small area around the giant fish.
Qin Hao ignored the giant fish and successfully arrived at the Divine Origin Illusion Vine, where he prepared to dig out the immortal herb.
Just then, vines emerged from the lake and flew towards Qin Hao.
This is actually both a defensive and offensive tactic of the Divine Origin Illusion Vine.
After all, it is a divine herb, and it has developed a trace of intelligence, which is no less than that of a ferocious beast.
Even immortal herbs that have grown for tens of thousands of years can evolve to have intelligence like humans, at which point they will also take human form.
Qin Hao used the system to perform a scan!
[Item: Divine Origin Illusion Vine]
[Category: Herbal Remedy]
[Year: 10 million years]
[Effects: Repairs and strengthens the soul, thereby enhancing Mental Power. The Divine Origin Illusion Vine is highly deceptive; ordinary people who approach it are easily bewitched and trapped in an illusion...]
This Divine Origin Illusion Vine is quite old, so its alluring power is extremely strong, so strong that anyone below the Martial Emperor 100th Tier will be affected.
Even a powerful Martial Emperor 100th Tier could fall for this powerful allure.
Qin Hao had activated the Twelve Palaces at this moment, and his strength was comparable to Martial God Rank 12, so charm had no effect on him.
However, once the charm fails, the Divine Origin Illusion Vine will naturally unleash its own vine attacks.
After all, this is a celestial herb comparable to Martial Emperor 100th Tier. If it weren't for the fact that it is essentially a plant, it might have already transformed into human form.
Qin Hao remained calm and simply raised his hand, suppressing the Divine Origin Illusion Vine, rendering it completely immobile.
It's clear that Qin Hao stopped time.
The immortal herb, which is 10 million years old, would have already grown many branches by now; otherwise, where would all those vines come from?
Therefore, Qin Hao only took a portion of the immortal herb, and did not dig up the entire plant.
Qin Hao thought he would keep this immortal herb here, so that he could just come and get it whenever he needed it in the future, since this place was very convenient for him.
As for why it wasn't dug up, it's because this place is very suitable for the growth of the Divine Origin Illusion Vine.
After removing the last part, Qin Hao withdrew the Time Stop from the giant fish and the Time Stop device from the Divine Origin Illusion Vine, then left the Illusion Demon Valley.
Qin Hao set up an array outside the Illusion Demon Valley to prevent anyone from discovering it and taking away the Divine Origin Illusion Vine directly.
After all, Li Ruoxi is a prime example; she possessed extremely high cultivation levels, yet she was still able to survive in this world.
If Li Ruoxi can do it, then there must be many strong people like Li Ruoxi.
'Sigh, I just wonder what level Ruoxi has reached!'
Qin Hao was also very troubled. He had asked Li Ruoxi Qin Hao about it that day in the Abyss, but she said she would know when she became stronger and refused to tell him no matter what.
"Great! Now we've gathered all the ingredients to refine the Divine Soul Pill. Qianqian is finally saved!"
Qin Hao was also very happy. After setting up the formation, Qin Hao disappeared from the spot and arrived directly in the Jade Pool Holy Land in the next second.
The Jade Pool Holy Land today is no longer the same sacred site it once was.
At this moment, everyone is practicing Qin Hao's Twelve Palaces Cultivation Method.
From the outside, one could see thousands of vortexes of spiritual energy swirling above the Jade Pool Holy Land.
This is due to practicing the Twelve Palaces Cultivation System.
In the beginning, many forces came to Jade Pool Holy Land to inquire about the situation, wanting to find out if a large number of Jade Pool Holy Land Martial Emperor experts had appeared there.
After all, the vortex of spiritual energy is a phenomenon that only appears when Martial Emperor breaks through.
However, after a month, with the same thing happening every day, the matter was eventually dropped, since there was a powerful figure here that even the Jade Emperor couldn't defeat.
