These two lakes were strange.
Li Chang'an had investigated them years ago.

Back then, he had been too weak to uncover how they had formed.
Years had passed, and though Li Chang'an was far stronger now, he still could not see through this place.
"There should be a precious treasure in the lake, but I'm not capable of taking it yet."
He withdrew his gaze and continued deeper into the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm with the other two.
Several hours later.
The three reached the depths of the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm.
"Fellow Daoist Li, we're here."
Chang Jun and Zhou Bai Xuan slowed to a stop and landed beside a vast lake.
This was the location marked in the mission.
The former site of the Beast Taming Sect Branch.
Li Chang'an landed after them and looked ahead. All he saw was a shimmering lake, with no trace of the Beast Taming Sect.
"Is the branch beneath the lake?"
"No. Its entrance is above the lake."
Chang Jun shook his head and took out a token.
The token flew from his hand to the center of the lake, where it burst with dazzling Golden Light.
The next instant.
A gate gleaming with Golden Light appeared on the lake's surface.
"Fellow Daoist Li, there's a unique Minor World here. The branch was built inside it."
Chang Jun smiled as he explained it to Li Chang'an.
"Our sect's ancestors set up this gate to separate the Minor World from this realm. The mission token in your hand will let you pass through freely."
"This gate hasn't been opened in ninety thousand years. We don't know what lies beyond it, so we must be careful."
With that, he sent out a surge of Mana and pushed the gate open.
