Chapter 153: Mysterious Summoning
nd after a brutal punch sent him reeling back, Zhao Ling turned around, waved his hand, and with resounding CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! sounds effortlessly shattered the attacks of Su Yuning and his two comp...Just as Su Xin stepped into the Fourth Realm.
At the deepest part of the Fourth Realm, above a vast and boundless lake.
"Jinfeng, this has already been over two months, haven't you found that place yet"
A bronze-skinned strongman let out a gruff voice, glancing unhappily at the white-haired, gloomy old man leading the way ahead.
This white-haired, gloomy old man is precisely Situ Feng.
However, on the Qingxuan battlefield, this Si Tu Feng was known as "Jin Feng." Now that his cultivation has broken through to the Four Steps Nirvana Realm, he is naturally called Jin Feng Venerable.
“It’s not that easy,” Si Tu Feng shook his head. “The secret map I got only marked a specific area within Yan Shui Lake. While this area is relatively small compared to the whole lake, it still covers tens of thousands of miles.”
Even if I had the token to enter the hidden vault and could sense its entrance to some extent, the sensation was very faint. I would have to be extremely close to the entrance before I could feel it, meaning I would have to search every corner of this area inch by inch before I could find the location of the hidden vault entrance.
"To cover such a vast area, it naturally takes time to reach every corner."
"Master Xuepeng, don't worry too much. As long as that secret treasure is still hidden in Hu Lake, it will eventually be ours," said Si Tu Feng soothingly.
"Humph, but I hope that treasure is still there, or else..." The burly man with bronze skin glared coldly.
"Rest assured, that secret treasury is most likely still there," said Situ Feng. Then he turned his head away.
After turning his head, Situ Feng's face immediately turned gloomy and hard to look at.
"This Xuedeng, having benefited so much already and still lacking patience. If not for the fear of encountering powerful adversaries from opposing factions within Yan Shui Lake, I would have told him about the hidden treasure," Si Tu Feng gritted his teeth secretly.
Those who venture in Lake Yan Shui are all exceptionally powerful individuals.
Not only are there many strong cultivators at the peak of the Four Steps, but there are also some strong cultivators at the Nirvana Realm of Five Steps.
As a newly-promoted Four Steps Venerable, he naturally wouldn't dare to come alone to seek treasure. So he brought along Xuepeng and even promised that the discovered treasures would be divided equally between them.
But this blood peng, being more of a human than a bird, was rather impatient. After two months, he still hadn't found the entrance to the hidden treasure. He had complained several times already, and all the old man could do was try to soothe him as best he could.
Though I'm deeply unwilling, there's nothing I can do.
It's all that damn Su Xin's fault!
"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be so anxious to come to this Yan Shui Lake to search for the hidden treasure And drag Blood Peng, this fool, in and promise to split the treasure evenly with him" Situ Feng cursed inwardly.
He had obtained the hidden map and the token to enter the secret place a long time ago.
But he had never told anyone about it.
He originally planned to wait until his strength gradually improved, and one day he reached the peak of the four realms, then he would come to Yan Shui Lake alone to seek treasures, enjoying the secrets by himself.
Because of Su Xin's appearance... Su Xin's threat to him was simply too great.
Especially knowing that Su Xin was a true dragon-level genius, and after he became a disciple of the sixth mountain master, he dreamed that Su Xin was going to kill him with his sword. He also understood that it wouldn't be long before Su Xin had the strength to kill him.
He had no choice but to follow Liu Chong's recommendation and embark on a path of no return, which allowed him to rapidly elevate his cultivation to the Four Steps Nirvana Realm in a short period.
He also knew he couldn't wait any longer, so after his cultivation breakthrough, he immediately brought Xue Peng to this Yan Shui Lake to search for hidden treasures.
“So Xin actually wants to have a life-or-death battle with me” Situ Feng’s eyes were cold, “Hmph, he is just a little beast who has just broken through to the Nirvana realm. Although I am not afraid of him, after all, he is the disciple of the sixth mountain master, who knows if he has any trump cards It’s better to be cautious.”
“I am in this Yan Shui Lake, waiting to find the hidden treasure and obtain the treasures within it for sacrifice. Perhaps my cultivation level will be further improved to become a Five-Step Nirvana Venerable. At that time, I can also enter the core layer of Jiusheng Mountain and no longer fear him.”
"Want to kill me... Humph, if you have the guts, come to the Fourth Realm and kill me!" Si Tu Feng sneered.
He was actually looking forward to Su Xinzhen coming to the Fourth Realm to kill him. After all, the strong individuals who roamed this realm possessed immense power. A young man who had just broken through to the Nirvana Realm would easily be slain by a powerful warrior from the enemy camp.
Sipu Feng and that Blood Peng continued to search for something in this area.
But he was unaware, his hatred burning fiercely, the very Su Xin he had just been cursing, was already deep within the Fourth Realm.
"Then, that's Yan Shui Lake"
Su Xin gazed at the vast lake ahead, which appeared tranquil on the surface but held turbulent depths.
Yan Shui Lake, the core area of the Fourth Realm, is renowned not only within the Fourth Realm but also throughout the Azure Profound Battlefield and the entire Azure Profound Domain.
Yan Shui Lake, with an incredibly vast area.
The entire lake, in width alone, exceeds tens of thousands of miles. As for its length, it is simply unimaginable.
Its total area is comparable to that of two or three Tianyan Empires.
But in the very center of Yan Shui Lake, at its heart, there exists a place that strikes fear into the hearts of even countless Nirvana Realm powerhouses...the Heart Abyss!
Legend has it that the abyss at the center of the lake is a gigantic whirlpool formed naturally at the bottom, like a black hole, madly devouring everything around it.
But anyone who is unfortunately caught in the vortex and dragged into the abyss, whether they are a Four-Step Venerable, a Five-Step Venerable, or even a Six-Step Venerable who has created their own unique martial art, will inevitably die without any chance of survival.
Even Transcendent powerhouses... The Heart of the Abyss in Flamewater Lake had existed for so long that even Transcendent experts wanted to enter the bottom to investigate. However, even among the top Transcendent existences, they could only dive a certain distance below the abyss. Let alone entering the lakebed, even getting close to it was impossible.
Even a little carelessness could cause even Transcendent powerhouses to die in the depths of the lake.
Even superpowered individuals can be killed there, which naturally established the reputation of the abyss at the heart of the lake as a dangerous place.
Su Xin had already arrived at the periphery of Yan Shui Lake's void, but just as he took two steps forward...
"Huh"
Su Xin's expression suddenly moved.
"What's going on"
"This kind of feeling..."
Su Xin's eyes were filled with confusion as he looked toward the center of Yan Shui Lake.
The moment he stepped into the range of Yan Shui Lake, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
This feeling was strange, as if something in the dark had been calling him. This left Su Xin's expression incredibly stunned.
This is my first time coming to the Fourth Realm, and also my first time at Yan Shui Lake. But as soon as I stepped into Yan Shui Lake, I felt a strange summons
"What will summon me"
Su Xin felt puzzled, then immediately followed that inexplicable intuition and walked in that direction.
The further back you go, the stronger that feeling becomes.
Three days later, Su Xin stopped on the picture of Yan Shui Lake, he looked up and gazed at the end ahead.
That inexplicable connection still exists, and it's growing stronger.
Ke Su Xin, however, knew that he was still quite a distance away from where the sensation originated.
Most importantly, the direction of this feeling points to the very center of Lake Yan Shui, and at that center lies the heart of the abyss!
"Is it the abyss at the heart of the lake, calling to me"
"What are you talking about!"
Su Xin could only feel disbelief.
The abyss at the heart of the lake, was already considered the number one forbidden zone in the entire Qingxuan Domain. Any Nirvana Realm powerhouse who was caught in the abyss would inevitably die without a doubt.
Even a slight misstep by a powerful being can result in death.
Could such a perilous place be calling him
"Snap out of it!" Su Xin shook his head repeatedly.
Although Su Xin wasn't sure why, he was very clear that he absolutely couldn't set foot in the heart of the abyss, at least not now.
"Even those who have transcended the strong might be killed. I, a newly broken Nirvana Realm, if I were to enter inside, I'm afraid that by the end not even ashes would remain," Su Xin murmured.
Perhaps there is something down in the depths of that lake, connected to him, that could cause such a strong feeling.
No matter what it was, even if there was a chance hidden beneath that which could allow him to instantly transcend, he would absolutely not risk it now.
After all, there's only one life to live.
Venerable Yu Hou
Su Xin had already taken out a transmission order, beginning to contact the Venerable Youhou...
Two days later, Su Xin arrived at a certain area within Yan Shui Lake.
As the Venerable Youhou said, Si Tu Feng has been wandering in this area for the past two months. Some powerful figures from their own camp have even seen him. They hope he is still within this area. Su Xin looked around, and the next moment, a strong spiritual consciousness directly permeated the air.
After being tempered by the Abyssal Realm, Su Xin's spiritual awareness had greatly increased. With all his might, his aura could spread for almost twenty miles.
And as he broke through to the Nirvana realm, his spiritual awareness also increased slightly, but it was still not strong.
After Su Xin practiced the mental consciousness technique "Heart Realm", not only did his mental consciousness greatly improve, but he also became more proficient in its application.
Now he is going all out, releasing his spiritual consciousness, which can cover a radius of hundreds of miles around him. He's already comparable to many powerful three-step Nirvana cultivators in terms of spiritual consciousness.
Let's begin.
Su Xin kept a mental awareness within a hundred-mile radius and searched extensively in that area.
Although it is just an area within Flamewater Lake, its size is still vast. It wasn't easy for Su Xin to search for it.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Xin, who had always relied on spiritual awareness to seek his target, suddenly fixed his gaze.
Two more people have come within the range of his spiritual awareness.
These two individuals, based on their cultivation and aura, one has already entered the realm of a Fifth Step Venerable, while the other clearly just broke through to the Fourth Step Nirvana not long ago.
In the Flamewater Lake, there were some Five-Step Nirvana Venerables, but almost all of these Five-Step Nirvana Venerables wandered alone, and they each had a newly broken-through Four-Step Nirvana Realm cultivator wandering with them in this area... This made Su Xin immediately certain.
Finally found it!
Su Xin's eyes were brimming with surprise, but the killing intent in his heart had already begun to surge.
"Sipu Feng, your end is here!!"
…… churned and surged, madly pressing in on the sinister young man in the scarlet robes from all directions. Su Xin had already exerted the power of the Blood Cloud Domain to its utmost extent at the fi...
