The melody of the zither was filled with Gu Xueluo's longing and adoration for the fifth hidden spirit. It was filled with Gu Xueluo's lonely blood and heartfelt love. The long zither notes flew across the valley like a vaguely discernible and painful scar that pierced the soul. It streaked across the memories hidden deep within the heart and arrived at the Zhuoshui Lake.
The sound of the zither seeped into the lake, giving rise to waves of shock. Gradually, layers of crystalline waves rose up from the lake, and deep within the lake, dark figures shuttled back and forth like shuttles, startling the carp into scattering in all directions. The zither notes on the lake's surface were still as gentle as before, and the dark shadows slowly gathered together. Without a doubt, this strange illusion was something the people of the Qing Qiu Mountains had never seen before. If a pedestrian were to pass by this place, they would be shocked speechless.
Gradually, the zither music came to an end. Zhuo Shuishui Lake was completely silent, and the air was filled with mist. It was a vast expanse. Suddenly, the strange black shadow in the lake disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had disappeared into thin air after hearing the zither music. The zither music rang out and they all gathered together. After the zither music ended, there was no trace of them.
This was a strange sight that had formed over the years.
This was the shocking secret of Zhuo Shuishui Lake.
This was a tribulation that was destined to happen in the underworld.
Even the most powerful men of the Qushu Mountains could not dive into the lake. They could see the strange corals at the bottom of the lake, the swimming carp, the clear blue pearls, and of course, the shocking mystery: at the bottom of the lake, there was a long, narrow crack extending westward, twisting and twisting, stretching to the other end of the mystery. At the other end was another mysterious place.
If one were to speak of the two most mysterious places in the vicinity of Supreme Profound City, even a young boy who had just entered could speak of them. Of course, they came from the Extreme Abyss and Zhuo Shui Lake. From the depths of the abyss was where the Protector Divine Beast, the Aquatic Qilin, resided. Only in the rare Beast Slaughtering Convention would people be able to approach the abyss and peek at the mysterious splendor from afar. Normally, no one would dare to approach the Water Qilin from the depths of the abyss. Firstly, they would be afraid of the Water Qilin, and once it alarmed the Water Qilin, it would be no different from summoning the death god. Secondly, the Water Qilin from the depths of the abyss was indeed eerie and terrifying. Zhuo Shuishui Lake was vast and deep, and the water was dark green. Other than the raccoons that were concentrated here every month, there were very few people moving about on the lake, not to mention catching fish and shrimp. As for the stone tablet carved on the lakeshore, the words ”The south of the Shang father, the shore of the jade wall, the Soaring Flood Dragon rises the phoenix, the Light Condensation Mountain Zi” added to the mysteriousness of the Lake of Zhuo.
The teenager that just entered the capital can tell you that there is no connection between the lake and the Ji Abyss. The lake is located in the southwest corner of the primal chaos capital, while the lake is directly behind the capital, so its geographical location is completely unrelated. If it were a normal day, everyone would have scoffed at the nonsense of the martial arts practitioner or the rumored fortune-teller, who was able to connect the two. However, that long and mysterious rift at the bottom of the lake revealed the truth.
The long, serene crevices at the bottom of the lake followed the shape of Zhuo Shui Lake and continued forward, passing through Zhuo Shui Lake and bypassing the primal chaos. They twisted and turned, going back thousands of times, all the way to the depths of the lake.
The zither notes that emanated from the bottom of Broken Intestine Valley gathered together with the black shadows in the lake. These shadows were the souls of the Undead of the fifth hidden spirit. That day, the fifth hidden spirit cut itself off at Blue Cloud Hall with the Blue Vault Sword. The corpse was brought to Zhuo Shui Lake by Gu Xueluo, and his soul followed the blood essence and flowed into the lake, unable to melt. Just as the essence blood and soul consciousness was about to dissipate, it was summoned back together by the ancient tomb zither. Slowly, his undead began to take shape, drifting forward along the long and dark passage at the bottom of the lake. The dark passage, the oppressive atmosphere, it was unknown how many days had passed before his undead was carried away by the flowing water from the bottom of the lake.
From the depths of the abyss, in addition to the bone-chilling abyss water, the vicious water qilin, there was also an extremely secretive place — the Undead Cave. As people know, the undead in the entire universe are gathered at the gates of the dead and the back of the earth, and this is the third place where undead gather from the depths of the undead cave. However, there were different places in the Undead Cave. As the Undead Cave was extremely cold, all of the Undead here were sealed. They were like frozen objects, waiting for the moment they unfreeze. The Undead of the fifth hidden spirit was no exception. After stumbling and entering the undead cave in a daze, they were sealed in ice, just like a specimen imprinted on the cave wall. They had no life, no consciousness, and were unable to move.
Regarding the secrets of the undead cave, not to mention the Six Realms, even the Supreme Mystery himself did not know. However, as long as it was a secret, there was always the risk of it being leaked out, and it was not surprising that the Six Realms, a devil realm that was most skilled in covert tricks and spying on otherworldly beings, knew of this secret.
At this moment, the figure of Nine Yin appeared in the Undead Cave.
Ever since he had heavily injured the primal chaos capital, the devil ancestor felt that as long as he could find out where the primordial energy was, he would be able to destroy the primal chaos in one fell swoop. The sword ruler's eyebrow had always been secretive about coming from the depths of the abyss, because he had previously sneaked into the depths of the abyss and discovered the undead cave. He believed that as the most mysterious and dangerous place in the Primordial Profound Ark, there must be many other secrets that were worth digging into. Thus, he had locked his target into the depths of the abyss. This time, Zhu Jiuyin was ordered by him to dive into the depths of the abyss to investigate the secrets.
It was a pity that Zhu Jiuyin didn't find anything at the bottom of the abyss. Other than the cold waters and the chaotic environment, he couldn't find any other clues. He, who had never seen the shapes of undead, became more and more curious, as if he had forgotten the dangerous environment at the bottom of the lake. He circulated his internal energy, and from the center of his palm, he released a baleful aura, and with a single palm, he split open the seal of an undead. However, before he could even sense it, the baleful aura had already avoided the seal and scattered.
As Zhu Jiuyin was immersed in his excitement, he changed his palm shape and secretly channeled his palm strength. Just as he was about to undo the seal on the other Undead, a loud crashing sound like a dragon's roar echoed out from the abyss.
In an instant, a light that could tear through the depths shot out, a large figure impressively leapt out from the depths of the abyss. In an instant, a light that could tear through the depths shot out, a large figure leapt out from the depths of the abyss. It was obvious that Candle Jiu Yin's unlocking of the imprint of the Undead had alarmed the gigantic beast.
This must be the legendary Aquatic Qilin. He had always heard of how powerful the Aquatic Qilin was, but now that he saw it, he could not help but tremble in fear. He did not know how to appease the beast. He could only hope that it would calm down a little and stop roaring. This was, after all, the first time he had met the Aquatic Qilin. How powerful was this Aquatic Qilin that was known as the Capital Protector Beast of the Supreme Mystery City? It could attract the attention of the Mystic City's Slaughterers, so he decided to take this opportunity to test the power of this divine beast.
Ah …” ”Ahh!” The water qilin let out a crazy roar, and roared as it swung its head to smash its head against the wall. Candle Jiu Yin hastily jumped out, and with a loud ”dong”, the water qilin's head heavily smashed into the deep wall. From the depths of the abyss, it was as if the entire earth trembled for a moment. Candle Jiu Yin sucked in a breath of cold air as a fishy wind assaulted his senses. ”Moo …” In the deep water's roaring, the water qilin let out another roar and swung its right claw. Suddenly, a huge force came roaring over.
With his eyes wide open and eyes filled with rage, Zhu Jiuyin's body turned into a streak of lightning in the depths of the abyss. A sharp golden light shot out from the void fan straight towards the water qilin's right claw. The golden light and the right claw fiercely clashed, creating a huge vortex from the depths of the abyss.
The water qilin was initially furious after being alarmed by the killing intent, but after seeing Zhu Jiuyin's stubborn resistance, it was already enraged. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, letting out a frenzied roar, and instantly, the wind and rain between heaven and earth began to howl, as if there was a thunder god howling above the nine heavens!
