"Hey, what are you two talking about? What's this 'Hegemon Body Dao Embryo '?" Tu Fei, who was standing nearby, caught up and asked curiously, "Zhou Tong, are you some kind of Hegemon Body?"

It was only then that Tu Fei realized that Zhou Tong was so powerful that there was no reason for him to have an ordinary physique.

"This guy and I have been mortal enemies since ancient times!"

Ye Fan said, "I am the Ancient Sacred Body, and he is the Heavenly Tyrant Body. The Great Completion Sacred Body and the Great Completion Tyrant Body have been synonymous with invincibility since ancient times. However, the Big Dipper Star Region is basically a place where the Ancient Sacred Body lineage stays, so you have never heard of the Heavenly Tyrant Body, an invincible physique."

"The Heavenly Overlord Body... I never expected there to be such a physique!" Tu Fei was shocked, never expecting that the Ancient Sacred Body lineage would have such a thing.

"But if you're enemies, what's going on between you two?" Tu Fei asked, puzzled.

"Nothing much, just like that!" Zhou Tong said indifferently. "Anyway, we had already been friends for seven or eight years before I knew about my physique... Even if we have to fight in the future, it will be a matter on the path to becoming an emperor, and it has nothing to do with the Ancient Sacred Body lineage or the Heavenly Tyrant Body lineage."

"How could I, Zhou Tong, be bound by others? Whether someone is friend or foe, I must decide for myself!"

As night fell, the group finally arrived at the approximate area of Jade Pool Ruins.

Under the moonlight, the red earth stretched as far as the eye could see, endless and empty. Not to mention mountains, even large rocks were hard to find.

"This is the Jade Pool Ruins? Logically speaking, it should be a sacred mountain!" Ye Fan frowned, then looked at Zhou Tong, "Where exactly Jade Pool Ruins?"

"Don't rush, take your time searching!" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan, then immediately opened his Martial Heavenly Eye.

Instantly, the entire landscape spanning tens of thousands of miles was presented before Zhou Tong.

Soon, he saw a white figure flying away in the distance.

"Found her! The Jade Pool Flying Immortals!" Zhou Tong immediately rushed towards the location of the Flying Immortal.

Ye Fan and Tu Fei quickly followed behind Zhou Tong. They saw with their own eyes several white figures on the horizon, extremely ethereal and flickering, like immortals, flying away into the sky.

But when they arrived, they found nothing.

"What is the Jade Pool Flying Immortals?" the two continued to ask.

"Who knows what it is? It's just that in the Jade Pool Ruins, such Flying Immortal phenomena often appear in the middle of the night!" Zhou Tong said calmly, while his Martial Heavenly Eye continued to search.

"Found it, come with me!" Zhou Tong thought to himself, and then immediately walked towards the edge of the Jade Pool Ruins.

Ye Fan and Tu Fei immediately followed.

Soon, the three arrived at a sandy area. Zhou Tong slapped his hand out, then swept up his sleeves, clearing away all the sand and revealing an ancient well.

However, over countless years, this ancient well has been buried by wind and sand.

After cleaning up the things outside the ancient well, Ye Fan and Tu Fei were immediately stunned, because they saw that the ancient well was actually absorbing and emitting moonlight.

"As expected of the Jade Pool Ruins, this well, abandoned for countless years, is still absorbing moonlight! This is the Jade Pool Ruins!" Zhou Tong said, and jumped directly into the well.

Ye Fan and Tu Fei followed.

The ancient well was very deep; it took more than two thousand meters to reach the bottom. After countless years, there was no water at the bottom of the well, and the ground was covered with mud.

Upon reaching the bottom of the well, the three immediately smelled a putrid odor of withered branches and rotten leaves.

The ancient well is connected to an underground river, but the river has dried up. In the distance, one can occasionally see some small puddles with blind fish swimming in them.

"Could this underground river lead to the Jade Pool Ruins?" Tu Fei and Ye Fan exchanged a surprised glance.

"Let's go, it's still a long way off!" Zhou Tong said casually, and walked straight ahead.

The underground passage was very long; the three of them walked for thirty or forty miles before finally seeing a glimmer of light—the seal of the Jade Pool Ruins. However, the seal here was extremely weak and could not stop the three of them at all.

As soon as you pass through the seal, a rich spiritual energy rushes towards you.

It was a dried-up lake with countless huge fish bones on its surface, and rows of dead trees on its shore, whose age was unknown.

"Is this the Jade Pool Ruins?" Tu Fei stared in disbelief at the desolate landscape.

"No, something's strange here!" Ye Fan's spiritual sense was very sharp. "Look at these fish and trees. They haven't become spirits after all these years. There must be something strange here."

"Didn't I tell you from the beginning? It was the problem with the Western Empress Emperor Corpse!" Zhou Tong ignored these things. He already knew there was something strange about this place and that there were no treasures here, so he didn't want to pay attention to these changes in Jade Pool. He only wanted to find the "Empress West Scripture" and leave.

Ye Fan and Tu Fei followed behind Zhou Tong, discussing the changes at Jade Pool as they walked.

Soon, the sound of water came, attracting the attention of the three.

After walking through a large forest of dead trees, lush greenery came into view.

Ahead, everywhere is green vegetation, lush and verdant, a lake as clear as a sapphire, and large swathes of plants on the shore teeming with life.

"A place that was once desolate has suddenly come to life?" Ye Fan and Tu Fei were both astonished.

"That's strange! Could it be a problem with the water source?" Tu Fei asked.

"Not necessarily!" Ye Fan was also a little uneasy.

"It is said that there is a Immortal Pool in Jade Pool. Legend has it that the Queen Mother of the West found the Immortal Tear Green Gold beneath this Immortal Pool, and eventually forged Jade Pool world-renowned Imperial Weapon Empress West Pagoda." Tu Fei said with great interest, "If we find that Immortal Pool, we might even find some Immortal Material inside!"

"I advise you not to touch that Immortal Pool. The tragedy at Jade Pool originated from that Immortal Pool. If you dare to touch Immortal Pool, even the ancient sages couldn't save you!" Zhou Tong warned the two.

Ye Fan and Tu Fei immediately fell silent.

The three continued on their way and discovered that almost 90% of the entire Jade Pool area was lifeless, with only a few places showing signs of life.

After walking for more than ten miles, the three of them finally saw some pavilions and towers, which meant that they were finally about to arrive at the Jade Pool Ruins. Ye Fan and Tu Fei were both a little excited, as the "Empress West Scripture" might be just ahead.

"Martial Heavenly Eye, activate!"

Zhou Tong immediately activated his Martial Heavenly Eye to search for the place where the "Empress West Scripture" was inscribed.

He knew how dangerous this place was, and if anything went wrong, he would be the one to suffer; so he didn't want to wander around at all, he just wanted to find the "Empress West Scripture" as soon as possible.

With the appearance of the Martial Heavenly Eye, the entire Jade Pool Ruins was immediately laid out before him.

"Come with me, we've found the location of the ' Empress West Scripture.' Don't wander around, it's very dangerous here!" Zhou Tong warned as he led Ye Fan and Tu Fei toward the place where the ' Empress West Scripture ' was found.

It was a barren place, with cliffs and rocky mountains everywhere, devoid of any soil, consisting entirely of stone.

Upon entering the mountain gate, the three were immediately drawn to a carving of a woman. Although it was just a simple carving, it gave them a sense of harmony between humanity Unity of Heaven and Man.
