The blue lake, which had originally been obscured by the Dharma Array, could now be scanned clearly by using Spiritual Force. The two Golden Core cultivators, Qin Yin and Little Tree all looked longingly at the lake.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed within the lake. After confirming that there was no issue with it, he said, “There is probably no point in taking away the water of the lake. Everyone start cultivating quickly!”
Di Jiu was the first to step into the lake. When he did, a bone-piercing chill permeated his body. Even Di Jiu could sense that this water was quite frosty.
After this chill came an extremely dense Spirit Qi. The two Golden Core cultivators and Qin Yin, who did not care about that bone-piercing chill, started to frantically absorb the Spirit Qi within the blue lake and cultivate.
Di Jiu was very impressed by Qin Yin’s potential. After a few Qi Circulations, he sensed that Qin Yin had broken through to the fourth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. The increase of her cultivation could be sensed clearly.
Everyone’s cultivation, including Zhong Xun’s and the other two sixth-stage Golden Core cultivators’, soared rapidly.
Di Jiu was secretly surprised. What was the Spirit Origin of this blue lake made of and why did it have such an effect?
Little Tree reconnected its broken arm and started to frantically absorb the Spirit Energy within the lake. Although the rate at which it absorbed Spirit Stones was very slow, its cultivation aura soared rapidly while it absorbed the Spirit Origin of the lake.
Even the beetle hiding on Di Jiu’s shoulder lunged into the blue lake.
Di Jiu did not cultivate. Instead, he put away the array flags and returned the Defense Array inside the lake to its original position. Then, he started to walk towards the other side of the lake.
The two Golden Core cultivators and Qin Yin were cultivating frantically, so Di Jiu could not be bothered to wake them up. He also knew that everyone had tacitly agreed to give the item on the other side of the lake to him.
The farther Di Jiu walked, the denser the Spirit Origin felt. Meanwhile, he could also feel the lake water grow colder.
Di Jiu kept throwing out array flags and paving a passageway in the blue lake.
Two hours later, he finally saw the other side of the lake. A blue pearl the size of a fist floated above the border of the shore.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force swept out. That chill came from the blue pearl.
This was definitely a quality item. Di Jiu lifted his hand, ready to grab the pearl. The moment he lifted his hand, he sensed the fluctuations of laws. This pearl was actually not floating in the air. It was surrounded by a natural array.
If he did not split open this Defense Array before taking the pearl, his hand would most likely be destroyed.
Di Jiu sat down beneath the pearl. As his Spiritual Force gradually permeated the outer Defense Array of the blue pearl, he started to carefully analyze the array surrounding the pearl.
Time passed slowly while Di Jiu was completely submerged into this analysis.
The Dharma Array he had set up earlier would leave behind traces. His array flags had to at least find and land on the appropriate locations, while also complementing the Spirit Qi from Heaven and Earth, for the Dharma Array to be activated.
The spatial array surrounding this pearl had left no traces. He failed to see any array flags, array foundations or an array core…
However, Di Jiu still believed that this spatial array existed. The introduction of the Book of the World stated that all matter that constituted the universe had a form. The reason people could not sense that form was because their horizons were too narrow and their strength too weak.
If one’s strength was sufficient, one could sense the space dimensions, break through space at will and enter another world.
…
The three Golden Core cultivators outside the blue lake stared solemnly at where Di Jiu and company had disappeared into the lake.
“Brother Huang Ping, if we keep waiting here in this manner, won’t this trip be a complete waste?” one of the three cultivators told the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator anxiously as he cupped his fists.
Huang Ping was the seventh-stage Golden Core cultivator who had spoken to Di Jiu earlier. Although Di Jiu had rejected his offer, he dared not attack Di Jiu, so all he could do was wait there.
When he heard his companion’s words, he retracted his gaze from the blue lake and said, “The vibrations from the outside are quite strong, which means that a lot of people are attacking the Space Strangulation Array in the valley. No matter how powerful the array is, it will not be able to hold up against the attacks of so many people. Wei Kai is right. We can’t afford to wait here, or this trip will be a complete waste. However, we would never be able to cross the Space Strangulation Array on top of the blue lake. If we try, we might die here…”
“Brother Huang, Brother Wei. Is it possible that they did not cross over above the lake, but through the lake?” asked the fourth-stage Golden Core cultivator suddenly. His cultivation was the lowest among the three of them.
Huang Ping’s eyes brightened up when he heard this. “That’s right. Why do we have to fly over the lake?” he said excitedly. “We could cross over through the lake. The Defense Array outside the lake and the one above the lake are most likely different. We could combine our forces and break through this Defense Array.”
Sometimes, when the truth was within reach, the moment someone unraveled a mystery, it ceased to be a secret.
The three Golden Core cultivators attacked the blue lake together. Although they did not do it as easily or simply as Di Jiu, it took them a mere two hours to crack open the border of the blue lake. An extremely dense amount of Spirit Qi immediately started to flow out.
“This is a nice place.” The three of them cared about nothing else as they stepped into the blue lake almost at the same time.
The Spirit Origin of the lake water was so dense that they didn’t think about anything. They immediately sat down and started cultivating frantically.
Inside the lake were various isolation restrictions and Defense Arrays. The two different groups of people, Qin Yin and company and the three Golden Core cultivators who walked in afterwards, were both cultivating in the blue lake. However, they could not see each other.
Meanwhile, Di Jiu had walked to the other side of the lake, so no one would be able to see where he was unless they headed over as well.
One could easily attain another cultivation level after cultivating in the lake for a short period of time. Hence, only a fool would not cultivate and wander inside the lake.
No matter how good the item at the opposite side of the lake was, it would at best increase their cultivation. If they could increase their cultivation in the lake, why would they waste time competing against a tyrant like Di Jiu?
….
It had been five days since the few of them had entered the lake. Little Tree’s arm had long since been restored. Actually, this was the first time it found cultivating so easy. It yearned to reach Level Three so that it would not be caught so easily, even if it encountered Golden Core cultivators.
Qin Yin had a late-stage Essence Soul Realm Master. Furthermore, the True Li Sword Sect was a top-notch sect in the northern province, so she did not lack any cultivating resources.
However, she still experienced first-hand that having sufficient cultivating resources did not mean that one’s cultivation would keep improving. No matter how great her potential was, using ordinary Spirit Stones and elixirs to cultivate and using this blue lake to do the same were different.
When she had first entered the blue lake, she had been at the fourth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. After cultivating for five days, she had attained the sixth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.
No one would believe her if she said that she had advanced from the fourth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm to the sixth-stage Foundation Establishment Realm in five days.
However, Qin Yin knew very well that she was not the only one improving. The aura cultivator called Zhong Xun had fluctuated once, which meant that he had attained one cultivation level.
Qin Yin would not waste such an opportunity, so she started to frantically absorb the Spirit Origin and cultivate even more. One only got this sort of opportunity once.
…
Wind blades struck the natural array, taking several lives once again.
However, the remaining cultivators continued to madly attack the Space Strangulation Array blocking the valley. Everyone knew very well that a top-notch treasure was located on the other side of this array. They also knew that eight people had already passed through.
Crack! As 100-200 people attacked it, the Space Strangulation Array finally let out a cracking sound.
“The array is about to break. Everyone put in more strength. Once it breaks, I will be able to enter and collect the most valuable treasure!” shouted an eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator.
By the time this cultivator had heard the news and run there, the six Golden Core cultivators, Little Tree and Di Jiu had already entered.
Eighth-stage Golden Core cultivators were essentially top-level existences in the Sky Screen, so he naturally wanted to obtain a share of the best items. Thus, he had immediately joined forces with all the cultivators there and started attacking the Space Strangulation Array.
After a few days of hard work, the array finally let out a cracking sound.
The eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator had not needed to say anything. Everyone knew that the Space Strangulation Array was probably about to break.
A couple hundred of Dharma treasures landed on the array. Although several space wind blades were activated and killed several people in the process, the array still broke under the combined force of the masses.
Nearly 200 people rushed frantically to the cave entrance in front of them, which was emanating a blue light.
The blue lake, which had originally been obscured by the Dharma Array, could now be scanned clearly by using Spiritual Force. The two Golden Core cultivators, Qin Yin and Little Tree all looked longingly at the lake.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force landed within the lake. After confirming that there was no issue with it, he said, “There is probably no point in taking away the water of the lake. Everyone start cultivating quickly!”
