Chapter 446: Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool!
This was a vast, shattered stone plaza. At its center stood a massive stone platform, atop which a colossal, pitch-black spatial tunnel—dozens of meters wide—rotated slowly. An astounding spatial fluctuation continually emanated from it.
“Thud! Thud!”
The silence of the shattered stone plaza lingered for a moment before being broken by deep, muffled sounds. Following these sounds, the spatial tunnel rippled violently. Three slender figures shot out like arrows, landing unevenly on the plaza.
"Finally, we’re out! That spatial tunnel was unbearably dull!"
As she touched the ground, Nalan Yanran inhaled the fresh air deeply, laughing as though freed from a burden.
Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly in agreement. It was also her first time enduring such a long journey. In the past, Xiao Yin would teleport them intermittently through space, never traveling continuously for over ten days.
Xiao Yi Xian’s eyes scanned the area. Across the plaza, a few other figures emerged from different directions within the spatial tunnel. Clearly, this tunnel connected more locations than just the one in Tianya City.
In one direction, Xiao Yi Xian faintly made out the silhouette of a massive city in the distance. It was evident that this spatial tunnel was situated outside the city’s boundaries.
"Yanran, Xiao Yin, let’s head to the city first!" Xiao Yi Xian suggested, adjusting her state and turning to the others.
The quickest way to gather information was to head into a bustling area filled with people.
Without hesitation, Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yin suppressed their auras and summoned their Dou Qi wings, soaring into the sky.
The city ahead was even larger than Tianya City, far surpassing the scale of any local cities in the Jia Ma Empire. The roar of its hustle and bustle was so loud that it could be heard clearly even from afar.
After spending more than ten days in the spatial tunnel, the overwhelming noise and activity of a human city felt somewhat jarring to Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran.
The trio’s first task upon arriving in this massive city was to find a shop that sold maps. For newcomers, a map was the fastest way to familiarize themselves with the area.
Listening to the conversations of passersby, Xiao Yi Xian quickly learned that the city they had arrived in was called Heavenly Water City, a well-known city on the northern edge of the Central Plains.
Before long, the three of them entered a shop along the street called the Map Pavilion. Inside, an elderly man sat behind the counter. He wasn’t particularly powerful, his shrewd demeanor betraying him as a typical businessman. Xiao Yi Xian glanced at him briefly, noting his strength as only that of an eight-star Dou Practitioner—a level of talent she deemed negligible.
However, compared to the Jia Ma Empire, where someone of the old man’s level might lead a small mercenary group, the fact that he was merely running a small shop here highlighted the significantly higher overall strength of people in the Central Plains.
"Young ladies, are you here to buy a map?" The elderly man promptly stood up, smiling warmly at Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran. Xiao Yin, however, was naturally overlooked.
"Yes, we’d like the most detailed map of the Northern Region," Xiao Yi Xian replied casually, making no indication that it was their first time in the Central Plains.
"Got it!"
Hearing her request, the old man quickly turned to rummage through his collection, soon pulling out a map.
"Three thousand gold coins," he said, holding up three fingers.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Three thousand gold coins, an exorbitant price in the Jia Ma Empire, was apparently only enough for a single map here.
Xiao Yi Xian, unconcerned about money and lacking much concept of its value, bought the map without hesitation.
After purchasing the map, the trio followed their usual practice of finding an inn. They checked in, intending to rest for the night before setting out again the next day.
…
"Xian’er, the Northern Region’s most powerful faction is the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. Their Pavilion Master is rumored to be a Dou Venerate! They also have four subordinate pavilions: East, West, South, and North," Nalan Yanran shared the information she had gathered after returning to their room that evening.
"I’ve come across the same information. But we’re not here to deal with the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, so whether their master is a Dou Venerate or not doesn’t concern us," Xiao Yi Xian responded with a nod.
"Also, the Soul Hall, which we’ve heard about before, isn’t much of a secret in the Central Plains. Most people know about its existence, but they don’t understand much about it," Nalan Yanran continued.
"That’s true. While the Soul Hall’s name is well-known in the Central Plains, there isn’t much concrete information about their activities," Xiao Yi Xian agreed.
"But why is it that in the Black-Corner Region, the Soul Hall was so blatant, openly wiping out major factions?" Nalan Yanran asked, voicing her confusion.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian frowned. "That’s puzzling to me as well. The Soul Hall doesn’t usually act so ostentatiously."
After her response, silence filled the room. Xiao Yin, as usual, refrained from joining such discussions. She typically followed Xiao Yi Xian’s lead and rarely spoke.
Unable to find an answer, Xiao Yi Xian decided to set the matter aside.
"Yanran, we didn’t come to the Central Plains for sightseeing. We’re here to seek opportunities in this vast land!" After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi Xian broke the quiet. "I’ve heard about a place in the Northern Region’s Tianmu Mountain Range called the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool. It’s said that every three years, a surge of energy appears at the peak of a volcano in the range. After the energy surge, the volcanic crater fills with a mysterious red liquid, known as the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool. However, this pool only lasts for five days before vanishing completely."
"The Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool is rumored to have the ability to cleanse the body and refine the bones. It’s even capable of helping Dou Emperor peak experts break through to the Dou Venerate stage. Even Dou Venerate experts benefit greatly from it."
"Every time the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool appears, it draws countless people from the Northern Region and even other parts of the Central Plains. In about a month, the pool is set to appear again. Why don’t we head there and check it out?"
After hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s explanation, Nalan Yanran nodded her snow-white chin in agreement. "If the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool is that extraordinary, let’s go see it!"
