Chapter 915: Golden Lake Appears
Everyone was silent at the valley master’s question.
“I did it!” Bai Piao walked out after he declared in a calm tone. His expression was calm as he faced everyone.
“Why? Isn’t it better if we monopolized this secret?” Lingyun Valley’s valley master frowned and asked.
“Ha, monopolize?” Bai Piao let out a cold smile, “the Noble Pavilion was the first to discover this place. If we hadn’t spread it out, wouldn’t we have been able to keep it for ourselves?”
After he said that, everyone’s faces soured slightly, forcing them to admit that Bai Piao was right.
Normally, no one would admit that they found a hidden realm like that. Bai Piao doing so definitely meant there was a reason behind it.
“What are you planning to do?” Xuanyuan Sect’s sect leader asked seriously.
Bai Piao said, “The gray mist reveals the future. Heaven and earth are overturned. The golden lake reveals itself, cleansing the mist? Heaven and earth already overturned here, but do you know what the golden lake is?”
Everyone exchanged a look as they shook their heads.
There was a glint in Lingyun Valley’s valley master’s eyes as he said, “If Bai Piao is speaking like this, it must mean you’ve already figured out the way.”
…
Bai Piao smiled and did not answer. Instead, he raised his head and forced out a drop of blood from his fingertip. It slowly fell into the lake beneath them…
Everyone’s gaze followed that drop of blood. They looked at the drop of blood touching the surface of the lake. At that spot, the surface of the lake suddenly turned golden!
Suddenly, it was as if everyone’s brains exploded.
Xuanyuan sect’s sect master narrowed his eyes slightly, “So the so-called golden lake is a blood lake!”
“Bai Piao spread the news to attract everyone here for their flesh and blood? Why didn’t you say that earlier? I wouldn’t have brought my disciples over.”
“If you’re not willing to give up your children, you won’t be able to achieve great things. Don’t you see that I brought many of my disciples here too? You have to give up something to get something in return!” Bai Piao said in a cold and emotionless tone.
Someone nodded in agreement, “Bai Piao is right. If our disciples weren’t here, the other forces would not dare to go closer out of suspicion. Who would we sacrifice then?”
At that moment, those sects all started to look at the disciples on the surface of the lake with different expressions. It was like they were looking at tools.
At that moment, a lot of cultivators from the smaller sects were even smiling at Bai Piao and the others.
“Thank you, sect leaders, for sharing this chance with me. Once everyone has the skills to cleanse the gray mist, the whole Origins Realm will be ours.”
“That’s right, we’ll always be your loyal subordinates from now on!”
“Have you all found a way to enter? I’ll be able to broaden my horizons. I’m even willing to rush in at the helm.”
“Everyone’s already here, sect leaders, please don’t keep the secret.”
Everyone was already completely captivated by the gigantic secret, and could no longer wait.
Lingyun Valley’s valley master smiled and said, “The golden lake appears after heaven and earth are overturned. We’ve already found a way to make the golden lake appear, and we’ll need all of your cooperation.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up as they said in anticipation, “What is it?”
“We… need all of you to die!”
Lingyun Valley’s valley master and the rest of them suddenly had a fierce look on their face as they launched their attacks without any warning. Destructive spells suddenly flew out, killing countless people in a flash!
Their blood oozed out, spreading into the lake and staining the lake water golden!
“Ah! What are you doing?!”
“This is bad, they’re planning on sacrificing us. So the golden lake needs blood to appear!”
“They want to use our blood, but we can use theirs as well. Let’s fight them!”
“Grandmaster, save me. Ah, why are you attacking us too?”
“We’ve cultivated you for so many years, it’s time for you to contribute!”
…
On the surface of the lake, the big fish ate the small fish. They looked for the secret together, but they suddenly fought each other.
“What happened here?” Very quickly, the demons led by the Celestial Demon King arrived as well. They were slightly stunned at the sight.
However, they quickly realized what happened, “So, the golden lake needs blood. Men, charge with me!”
“Hahaha, a group of demons are here too. We’ll have enough blood now. Kill them!”
The place heaven and earth overturned into a complete slaughter site. Spells flew everywhere, and everyone was filled with killing intent. Fatal spells danced in the skies, constantly causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Slowly, the lake was more and more golden. Eventually, the gold filled the whole lake!
Buzz!
Suddenly, the whole place started to shake.
The sound of a door opening could be heard in air as if a restriction was just broken open. Wisdom resonated as the golden lake’s glow caused images to fly soar.
Almost ninety percent of the cultivators there were dead. At that moment, everyone stopped and looked around as if they were excited.
“We can go into the lake now!” Someone suddenly exclaimed. He dipped his legs in the lake and he slowly sank.
The lake was like a mirror before, and no one was able to enter no matter what they did. At that moment, the gates were open.
Everyone rushed right into the lake, fighting to dive in first, worried they would fall behind.
To everyone’s shock, after they went through the lake, it was not a lake that greeted them. They seemed to have entered a whole new world. The lake was just a surface, a thin layer of cover.
They quickly arrived at the bottom and noticed that there was a massive cave in front of them. The entrance of the cave was over a hundred meters tall. It was like a massive mouth that waited for everyone to enter. Even the Wisdom Elites felt themselves shivering at the sight.
The most eye-catching part of the cave was a very complicated drawing.
Bai Piao’s eyes glinted as he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed a cultivator before throwing him into the cave!
That cultivator was a third stage Wisdom Elite. He was lucky to have survived for so long, but was just a pawn to Bai Piao at that moment!
Everyone looked on. Right as that person was about to enter the cave, the cave suddenly emitted rays of light that looked like a spider’s web. The moment the cultivator touched it, he disappeared, leaving nothing behind.
Everyone shuddered at the sight. Even though that power only appeared for a moment, everyone present knew that they would not be able to stand up to it!
“An amazing seal is here. Even supreme beings would probably be unable to stand up against it!”
“It’s related to a massive secret behind the corrupted gray mist, this isn’t surprising.”
“The aura of ferocity here is immense. Something unbelievable probably happened back then. It’s almost impossible to force your way through this seal,” Everyone frowned as they tried to analyze the seal, but no one could figure out a way through it.
At the same time, they were all on alert, worried that they would be turned into cannon fodder by a sneak attack like that earlier cultivator.
Lingyun Valley’s valley master slowly walked to the side of the cave as he looked at that massive picture on the wall. After a moment of silence, he said, “This picture is related to entering the cave. What’s carved on it seems to be… a chess match!”
