"What bamboo, you have no discernment! Alright, I'll seal the power of these Azure Bamboo first. Then, you carefully extract these Green Bamboo. They will be of great use later." Gui Wu sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure emerged and he spat out a puff of grey smoke, enveloping the clump of Azure Bamboo.

As soon as the smoke touched the Azure Bamboo, it quickly seeped into it. Grey纹路patterns immediately appeared on the bamboo, like seals.

Han Li's eyes flashed when he saw this, and he waved both hands.

Two crescent-shaped golden lights shot out from his palms, quickly digging into the ground, digging out the clump of Azure Bamboo along with the surrounding soil. He then stored it into the flower branch space.

"I apologize for the delay. This Azure Bamboo is quite useful to me, so I took a little detour. I hope you all don't mind." Han Li turned around and said to Shi Chuankong and the others.

"It's nothing. But Han Daoyou, who is this?" Shi Chuankong waved his hand and looked at Gui Wu.

"This is Daoyou Gui Wu, a remnant soul I rescued on the road." Gui Wu's identity was special, and although Han Li was on good terms with Shi Chuankong, he didn't say much.

"So it's Daoyou Gui Wu, nice to meet you." Shi Chuankong cupped his hands in a greeting.

Gui Wu glanced at Shi Chuankong, nodded, and flew back into the black box.

Collecting the Azure Bamboo was just a minor interlude, and they quickly continued on their way.

With Han Li protecting them, and Ti Hun, who was specifically able to restrain ghosts, the rest of the journey was quite smooth.

After more than a month of flying, Han Li and his group finally emerged from the Hundred Ghost Forest and arrived at a vast, grey wasteland.

"How far are we from the Yellow Springs Marsh?" Han Li looked into the distance and asked.

"We're here, we're here. Look into the distance, you should be able to see a red area. That's it." Gui Wu replied quickly.

Han Li's pupils contracted. At the end of his field of vision, he could indeed see a layer of red aura rising like steam, obscuring a large area.

Seeing this, he called out and flew straight ahead.

Zi Ling and the others hurriedly followed.

A unique, indescribable scent permeated the air, giving people a suffocating feeling of unease. The closer they got, the stronger this feeling became.

As they approached, Han Li and the others saw a huge body of water in front of them.

The lake was so wide that it was almost like an ocean. They couldn't see the edge of it. Near the shore, the surface of the water was as smooth as a mirror, with not even a ripple.

But as the line of sight moved further away, a thick blood cloud could be seen pressing down in the high sky above the central area of the lake, bordering with the chaotic clouds below, forming a huge chaotic area.

And in the due north direction of the dark red lake, it looked as if a gash had been torn open in the sky, and a blood-colored waterfall flowed out of it, hanging high in the air like a red silk.

The waterfall seemed to be fierce, with blood waves crashing, but when it hit the surface of the lake, the momentum disappeared completely, as if a feather had fallen into the water, silently, which was very strange.

Along the shore, at intervals, stood stone fortresses over a hundred zhang high, all dark red in color, with huge flags depicting strange totems. Some resembled bull heads, while others resembled horse faces, and they were not exactly the same.

"That... is where the four Ghost Clans are stationed." Gui Wu's voice rang out.

Han Li's mind moved, and his divine sense instantly released, probing toward the dark red stone fortresses.

After checking, his brow furrowed and he looked at Ti Hun, who also shook her head at him.

"Empty." Han Li announced to the others.

"See, now you should all believe what I said, right?" Gui Wu said.

"Since the four Ghost Clans are no longer stationed here, it will save us a lot of trouble. Tell me, where is the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc now?" Han Li said.

A faint light flashed at his waist, and Gui Wu's remnant soul floated out like smoke, pointing to the center of the lake and saying:

"Right in the center of this marsh."

Han Li looked at the chaotic blood clouds in the center of the lake, his face slightly sinking, and asked:

"Didn't you say before that the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc was on the shore of the lake? Why has it moved to the center of the lake now?"

"This... This, isn't it because I was afraid that Daoyou would be afraid to go if you knew it was in the center of the Yellow Springs?" Gui Wu's expression changed, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said sheepishly.

In fact, Han Li didn't know what kind of place the Yellow Springs Marsh was, let alone what dangers it held. Even if Gui Wu had directly stated the true location of the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc, Han Li wouldn't have been scared off.

"Listening to you, this Yellow Springs Marsh is also a dangerous place?" Han Li asked.

"That Han Daoyou can ask this question probably means that you don't know why the name Yellow Springs Marsh has the words 'Yellow Springs' in it? Let me explain it to you." Gui Wu's expression relaxed slightly, and he said.

Han Li and Zi Ling looked at each other, and then they all gathered around, listening carefully to Gui Wu's words.

"The reason why this dark red lake is called 'Yellow Springs Marsh' is because the bottom of the lake is full of Soul Devouring Nether Springs that can absorb people's three souls and seven spirits. Once all three souls and seven spirits are absorbed into them, the divine soul will directly fall into reincarnation, and the physical body will remain at the bottom of the lake, slowly corroding and disappearing, merging with the marsh." Gui Wu explained.

"So what? Just fly a little higher and don't get sucked in." Jin Tong said.

"What Daoyou said is not wrong. As long as you don't touch the lake water, you won't be attracted by the Soul Devouring Nether Springs. But have you all seen the chaotic blood clouds in the lake?" Gui Wu asked.

"What's so strange about those blood clouds?" Shi Chuankong asked.

"There's nothing strange about the blood clouds. What's strange is the wind blowing out of the blood clouds." Gui Wu said.

Han Li pondered slightly, but didn't find anything peculiar about the wind on the lake. However, the stench inside the blood clouds was too strong, and it was clear that it was not a good place.

"The wind in the blood clouds is just the wind that can be seen. As for the wind that can't be seen, it's even more dangerous..." Gui Wu said.

"Old ghost, stop beating around the bush and tell us everything in one breath." Jin Tong said impatiently.

"I'm just about to say it... These positive and negative whirlwind winds are not strong. If you don't pay attention, it's even difficult to detect their traces. But in reality, they are almost all over the entire marsh. If a person is caught in them, their flesh and blood will be stripped clean in a short time. Whether you are a Taiyi Da Luo or a barbaric alien species, the only difference is the length of time." Gui Wu said.

"What's even worse is that once you're caught in the positive and negative whirlwinds, you're bound to fall into the water, and your divine soul will be devoured, and you'll fall into reincarnation again." Han Li frowned and added.

"That's not difficult. As long as you use a magical treasure boat to cross the lake and carefully avoid those whirlwinds, you can still reach the center of the lake." Ti Hun frowned slightly and said.

"Absolutely not. The water of this marsh is like the Weak Water of the Nine Heavens, not even a goose feather can float, and a fallen leaf can't drift. No matter how powerful the magical treasure is, it can't carry it and will only sink directly into the lake." Gui Wu said.

Hearing this, Jin Tong turned his wrist, and a flash of light appeared in his palm, revealing a pinch of snow-white hair.

Han Li raised his eyebrows and realized that the hair was actually Little White's fluff, but he didn't know when Jin Tong had plucked it.

He held the pinch of white hair in front of him and gently blew on it. The hair fluttered up and landed on the surface of the lake.

Sure enough, as Gui Wu had said, the hair floated left and right, gradually sinking into the water.

"It really can't even float a hair?" Jin Tong said in disappointment.

Han Li frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered something. He turned his wrist, and a flash of green light appeared in his palm, revealing something.

"You asked us to cut down this Azure Bamboo before, it should be for crossing the river, right?" Han Li asked.

"That's right, Daoyou Han is indeed quick-witted! The only thing that can float on this Yellow Springs Marsh is probably this Naihe Bamboo. So if you want to cross over, you can only use this bamboo to make a boat and cross the water." Gui Wu nodded and said.

Han Li then raised his hand and threw the three-foot-long Azure Bamboo into the high sky, and it fell straight into the water.

The Azure Bamboo entered the water without splashing a drop of water, nor did it make any sound. Only after half of its body entered the water did it bounce upwards, and the bamboo tilted down, quietly floating on the surface of the water.

"Now that we have Naihe Bamboo to make a boat, how should we deal with these positive and negative whirlwinds?" Han Li looked at Gui Wu and asked.

"The positive and negative whirlwinds seem chaotic, distributed everywhere on the lake, as if they are airtight, but I spent hundreds of thousands of years observing them and discovered that there is actually a hidden waterway inside. As long as you follow that waterway, you can avoid the whirlwinds and cross over." Gui Wu "hehe" smiled and said.

Hearing this, Han Li turned his wrist and a jade slip appeared in his palm, throwing it to Gui Wu.

"Use your divine sense to inscribe the distribution path of the positive and negative whirlwinds on this marshy water area in this jade slip, and clearly mark the path of that hidden waterway." Han Li said calmly.

Gui Wu took it in his hand, his expression a little awkward.

He chuckled twice, then closed his eyes, clenched the jade slip, and began to inscribe it with his divine sense.

The rest of the people took out the Naihe Bamboo they had cut down earlier and piled them in front of them in bundles.

"The whirlwinds on the lake are dense, and the waterway is probably not wide either. Although there are many Azure Bamboo here, it is not suitable to make a large boat. Just make two bamboo rafts that can accommodate one or two people. At that time, only one person and I will take the boat, and the rest will stay in my cave treasure. Two bamboo rafts, one for crossing the water and one for backup, just in case." Han Li said.

"Daoyou Han, you are always so thoughtful, I have to admire you." Shi Chuankong praised sincerely.

Jin Tong and Ti Hun looked at each other, smiled at each other, and seemed to feel honored, only Zi Ling looked at Han Li deeply, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Han Li just smiled slightly, without saying much, and began to make the bamboo rafts.

Soon, two three-zhang-long and six-chi-wide Azure Bamboo boats were made. They were of moderate size and quite exquisite.

At the same time, Gui Wu also drew the distribution map of the whirlwinds in the lake and returned the jade slip to Han Li.
