It's not that simple.
Yang Zhen was taken aback, and looked at Elder Qian strangely, asking, "How is it not simple, or how complicated is it?"
The Elder Qian took a deep breath and remained silent, pondering for a moment.
The group of people looked at each other, puzzled as to why the Elder Qian had such an expression.
Suddenly, the Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits exclaimed softly, " Elder Qian, do you think this Black Puppet might be related to that black pool?"
Upon hearing the words "Black Pool," everyone who had emerged from the Sealed Land shuddered, their faces showing apprehension, clearly still shaken.
Yang Zhen became interested and tossed the Shameless Cat onto his shoulder, asking, "What black pool?"
With a solemn expression, Elder Qian asked Yang Zhen, "Do you still remember Lu Qiju?"
" Old Ghost Lu?" Yang Zhen glanced at Elder Qian in surprise, then nodded and said, "Of course I remember him, didn't you kill him?"
The Elder Qian nodded and asked, "Do you know why I killed him?"
Yang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated before saying, "Is it because he... went mad?"
Upon hearing this, those who had escaped from the Sealed Land exchanged bewildered glances. Elder Qian gave a wry smile, nodded, then shook his head, saying, "They're crazy, but they're not crazy either!"
"What exactly happened?" Yang Zhen suddenly had a headache. Damn it, it would be so much better if everyone just rolled up their sleeves and got to work without any disagreement. Why did they have to go through all this trouble?
Originally, the only purpose of the journey to the Mo North Abyss was to obtain Desolate Heaven True Rune. Now, things have gotten even worse. First, a vast horde of Death Zhi appeared, and then several Great Saint set up Great Restriction of Heaven and Earth. This is both Sealed Land and a Desolate Heaven Sacrifice; it just won't end.
Now that this Black Puppet Spirit Transformation Realm expert has rushed into the Sealed Land regardless of everything, it's clear that he's not as crazy as Old Ghost Lu; there must be something that compels him to do this.
And what about those Black Puppet who fled for their lives after the Desolate Heaven Sacrifice erupted? What exactly happened in this Sealed Land?
Although Yang Zhen felt a bit of a headache, he could vaguely sense that what Elder Qian was about to say was probably the true secret of the Mo North Abyss.
After surveying the curious crowd, Elder Qian began, "Not long after we were trapped in the Sealed Land, we discovered a black pool... this black pool..."
Yang Zhen could sense that every time the Black Pool was mentioned, the people who came out of the Sealed Land would have their auras become disordered. Clearly, the Black Pool had brought an extraordinary impact to everyone.
However, Elder Qian didn't continue talking about the Black Pool. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Before we came to the Mo North Abyss Mo North Abyss, there were rumors that there was Great Emperor's legacy there, but that's not true..."
Yang Zhen felt ashamed upon hearing this. What did he mean by "that's not true"? It would be a miracle if there were Great Emperor's legacy here. The fact that there was Great Emperor's legacy in the Mo North Abyss was entirely spread by Yang Zhen himself. It was unbelievable. These people were far too easily fooled.
This is understandable, though. It's probably not that these people are easily fooled; it's just that the Mo North Abyss is too bizarre. In such situations, before anyone has personally experienced it, everyone is in a state of accepting whatever others say and denying whatever they say.
Yang Zhen looked at Elder Qian and said, "Let's not talk about the Great Emperor's inheritance; that's impossible. Let's talk about the Black Pool. What exactly is this Black Pool, and why did Old Ghost Lu go mad?"
"Let me finish!" Elder Qian Laoxiao looked at Yang Zhen with a solemn expression, pondered for a moment, and then continued, "Although there is no Great Emperor's legacy in the Sealed Land, it may contain the legacy of a race!"
Everyone present was stunned by what Elder Qian said.
Lu Tianwei approached Elder Qian with a look of surprise and uncertainty, and said in a deep voice, "Senior, are you referring to the inheritance of an entire race?"
hiss--!
If everyone was only surprised by what Elder Qian said, then upon hearing Lu Tianwei's additional information, everyone present gasped, their expressions becoming even more horrified.
The legacy of an entire race, meaning that a race once perished here!
What kind of terrifying calamities did Elder Gu clans like the Ancient Spirit Clan, to which Elder Qian and Holy Maiden Thousand Spirits belong, or even the Ke Clan, the Sha Clan, or the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain, all endure to perish in their ancestral lands and ultimately be buried in the Sealed Land?
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up. Damn it, if Elder Qian is right, then this Sealed Land is definitely something that can cause turmoil throughout the entire North Isle. What is buried here is not just the inheritance of a race, but very likely the secrets of the entire Shangheng period!
Where did all those Great Saint go?
What caused the legendary tales of those Great Emperor shook the ages, whose brilliant talents once graced this land, to be abruptly cut short by something?
Even ten thousand years later, no one remembers what happened during the ancient times.
Yang Zhen was certain that this Sealed Land was definitely related to the Shangheng era. If that were the case, once the secret of the race's heritage was understood, it would be very likely that the mystery of the Shangheng era would be solved, and at least they wouldn't be in the dark like they are now, knowing nothing.
The Shameless Cat, perched on Yang Zhen's shoulder, was equally astonished, its eyes flashing with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, as if lost in thought.
roar--!
A deafening roar echoed through the Sealed Land. Now, with the changes brought about by the Earthly Treasury, the Great Restriction of Heaven and Earth in the Sealed Land has been restored. Those inside cannot get out, and those outside cannot see what is happening inside at all.
The two small mountains that Yang Zhen moved are one of the key points of this Great Restriction of Heaven and Earth. Now, if everyone wants to enter the Sealed Land, they must reopen the Sealed Land.
However, within this Sealed Land, there exists a genuine Spirit Transformation Realm expert!
No, I won't open it, no matter what. Even if there really is Great Emperor's legacy inside, I still won't open it!
Yang Zhen made a firm decision. What a joke! This Sealed Land can't be opened so easily. All the people inside combined probably wouldn't be enough to kill that Black Puppet.
Don't open it!
Upon hearing the Black Puppet's roar, everyone present changed their expressions. The terror of the Spirit Transformation Realm expert was evident to all present. With a single strike, he had sent the Mahayana Realm Elder Qian flying. Such strength was absolutely not to be offended.
At this moment, Elder Qian continued, "That black pool is the entrance to the Sealed Land, a hidden passage to the inheritance. Lu Qiju went into it and went mad, but..."
"But what?" Yang Zhen looked at Elder Qian curiously.
Elder Qian sighed and said, "Although Lu Qiju was driven mad by a mysterious force, in his dying moments, he crashed headfirst into the black pool, and we discovered..."
"We discovered that there seems to be an extremely powerful aura within that black pool. If we are not mistaken, it is a power that can bring the dead back to life. However, apart from the Spirit Transformation Realm, cultivators at the Mahayana Realm simply cannot withstand it."
"The power to bring the dead back to life?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's eyes widened in surprise.
Does the power to bring the dead truly exist in this world?
Those who escaped from the Sealed Land looked at each other with lingering fear. However, Yang Zhen could see that many of these fearful eyes still revealed a greedy look. Clearly, there was something in the black pool that would drive these cultivators mad just by thinking about it.
" The Undying Clan! The Undying Clan!" the Shameless Cat suddenly cried out, startling Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen turned his head and was suddenly stunned. The Shameless Cat were flashing with excitement. Yang Zhen had never seen such excitement on the Shameless Cat's face before.
The Undying Clan, are they some kind of extraordinary race?
Damn, the name sounds really impressive, but in this world, what truly immortal being exists?
Even those Great Emperor, didn't they all disappear without a trace?
