Chapter 19 Bizarre Ancient Land

　　The next moment, from the place where the flesh was severed, crystalline threads gushed out, wriggling forward in the void, eventually plunging into the mass of flesh, dragging it back to its original position. The threads stitched together, slowly restoring it!

　　This scene was chilling, making everyone's heart tremble. This place was too strange. The flesh and blood, the lake, all seemed to possess a spirit, knowing how to counterattack and even automatically repair themselves.

　　Looking at the flesh and blood under his feet and growing around him, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but rejoice that he hadn't been the first to attack, otherwise he would have had to bear that backlash. Even if he survived, he would have had to reveal his trump cards.

　　The others felt the same way, shuddering. That was a top-tier first generation, one of the strongest geniuses in Immortal Ancient, yet he didn't even have the ability to resist, directly swallowed and died without a complete corpse.

　　No one thought he could survive. The moment the wave struck, they could all feel the power, as if stars had gathered into a tide, which no one could withstand.

　　"Everyone, be careful," Jun Dao sighed, saying nothing more. Exploring ancient lands often resulted in death.

　　The others nodded. This served as a warning, telling them that even the strongest prodigies were nothing here, and great terrors could take their lives at any time.

　　In the following journey, they were all very careful, but even so, accidents still happened.

　　One of them wanted to take a drop of lake water, just a single drop, but it still caused a change in this ancient land. The flesh and blood under his feet seemed to transform into blood spears, directly piercing him, dissolving his entire body and turning him into a part of the flesh and blood.

　　It was even more bizarre than before. Looking at this vast ancient land, they even suspected that all of this was the flesh and blood of true living beings, fused together from the flesh and blood of countless creatures over countless years!

　　At this thought, Jiang Xuan even suspected that this was another fierce nest. If Jun Dao and the others weren't certain that the ancient monster in the bone book was already dead, he would have suspected that it was a lure thrown out by some ancient evil.

　　"Strange, if this is the heart of the Nine Nether Hound (Jiuyou Ao), then why is there no path forward?" Logically speaking, this was only the "heart" location, and there should be a path leading to the "head."

　　But Jiang Xuan used his divine sense to explore, and found no passage hidden by the flesh and blood.

　　"Could it be that I need to use that eyeball to see?"

　　He looked to the other side. Jun Dao had obviously realized this as well, and was using the eyeball to explore, but he also found nothing.

　　"Don't tell me it's under this lake…"

　　Jiang Xuan's expression was strange. He had looked everywhere, but found nothing. The only possibility was under this lake, especially since the blood vessels connecting to the heart plunged into the lake. This guess was very likely.

　　The others naturally thought of this possibility as well. Someone made a move, but not their true bodies, but rather their spiritual avatars. With the previous example, they didn't dare to casually try with their true bodies.

　　"I can submerge, but I need to protect myself with secret treasures. Moreover, at my speed, a Divine Fire-level treasure can only support a descent of about three zhang." Zhan Yu's face was a bit ugly. Not only did he not obtain treasures here, but he also had to sacrifice treasures.

　　In this lake, one could indeed submerge, but only if the physical body did not touch the lake water, and one had to use a secret treasure to protect oneself, separating the lake water.

　　But the key was this: even secret treasures would be constantly devoured of their divinity by this lake water. A Divine Fire-level secret treasure, even for top geniuses like Zhan Yu, was only enough to support a descent of three zhang, after which it would lose all divinity and become scrap.

　　Apart from the Fallen God Child (Duoshen Zi), Jun Dao, and Jiang Xuan, who had hidden his strength, Kong Wu, Zhan Yu, and the others were of similar strength. Three zhang would cost them a Divine Fire-level secret treasure. Even if they all had extraordinary backgrounds, they definitely couldn't afford it.

　　After all, this was Immortal Ancient, and Celestial God-level secret treasures could not be brought in, unless they were obtained in Immortal Ancient. Otherwise, even if they had extraordinary status, the strongest secret treasures could only be at the True One level.

　　The key was that no one knew how deep this lake was. What if it was several hundred zhang deep? No one could withstand it.

　　Therefore, looking at this golden lake in front of them, everyone's expression was a bit unsightly. Earlier, it looked like a treasure trove, but now they knew that it was completely a gold-devouring beast!

　　"Everyone, act according to your abilities."

　　The Fallen God Child flew to the heart in the center of the lake, looking at the blood vessels plunging into the lake and the sacred, brilliant lake in front of him. His expression was also a bit unsightly.

　　But since he had come this far, he couldn't possibly turn back without gaining anything. He was determined to explore to the best of his ability.

　　"I will accompany you."

　　Jun Dao also arrived at the center of the lake, wanting to accompany the Fallen God Child and enter this golden lake to find out.

　　In addition to him, another ancient genius, Fu Ju, also decided to accompany them, but the others did not move.

　　These three were the top geniuses, two of whom were ancient geniuses, accumulating over many lifetimes, with deep foundations. As for the Fallen God Child, he was even more powerful, having previously killed an ancient king and obtained many good things, with a foundation no less than the other two.

　　But the others were different. They didn't have such a foundation and knew that they had absolutely no hope of descending to the bottom, so they didn't join in the fun.

　　"In that case, the three of us will go down to explore, and you all can wait here," Jun Dao said, not suspecting anything. In his view, this was normal, after all, not everyone was like them.

　　With that said, he, Fu Ju, and the Fallen God Child took out their secret treasures and began to descend from the heart. There were many blood vessels here, and the heart was also located in this position. If there were other paths below, the probability of them appearing in this area was also greater.

　　The three entered the lake, and the lake surface suddenly became calm.

　　"Brother Ye? What are you doing? Do you also want to enter the lake?"

　　But suddenly, Jiang Xuan moved, with a treasured furnace suspended above his head, directly plunging into the lake, completely ignoring Zhan Yu.

　　…

　　Under the lake, the Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace floated, with Yin-Yang energy falling down, faintly filled with immortal light, able to completely isolate the golden lake water, without suffering any erosion itself.

　　"As expected, it is a treasure furnace refined by a strong Immortal Dao expert."

　　Jiang Xuan thought to himself, this Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace was refined by Gu Yuan. Even though it had not completely transformed into an immortal artifact when Gu Yuan died, it was still tainted with the aura of immortality.

　　Although this golden lake water was strange and could devour the divinity of treasures, Jiang Xuan believed that it was absolutely impossible to devour the divinity of this Yin-Yang Treasure Furnace. This test just now proved his thoughts.

　　"I can't miss such a good opportunity."

　　With the treasure furnace protecting him, Jiang Xuan felt confident. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of joining the Fallen God Child's team. Now that this opportunity was so rare, and he was completely invincible, he would be sorry to his undercover status if he didn't stir up some trouble.
