Chapter 634 : Ruins of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location)

"It seems we can only rely on ourselves now."

Eldrin let out a soft sigh before finally speaking, "Upon my return, I shall immediately enter seclusion to cultivate, striving to break through to Nascent Soul, Mid Stage as swiftly as possible."

He would also invite a few more friends when the time came to increase their chances of success. Hearing this, everyone nodded and said nothing more.

After departing from the Heavenly Reed Sect, Eldrin journeyed toward the Ji Province and returned to Spirit Isle Lake, resuming his life of secluded cultivation.

But as soon as they arrived at Spirit Isle Lake (Location), they spotted a figure standing guard outside its perimeter.

The newcomer was Cheng Xinan, son of the Carefree Verdant Verse Elder. Upon seeing them, he pleaded, "Ancestral Master, I beg you to save my father!"

"What happened?" Eldrin frowned, immediately asking, "Speak after you rise."

"Not long ago, my father's soul lamp grew dim, nearly on the verge of extinguishing."

As Cheng Xinan recounted the events, Eldrin soon grasped the situation.

Eldrin (Person Name) had left the Ji Continent to wander the world over 1 100 years ago. By all reasoning, he should have returned after such a long time.

However, his soul lamp had remained intact all along, so they hadn't been overly concerned. Unexpectedly, just a short while ago, Qingci Sanren's soul lamp suddenly dimmed by more than half, immediately alarming Cheng Xinan and the others.

The cultivator's soul lamp suddenly dimmed, leaving only 1 possibility: the Green Verse Scatterer was injured, and most likely gravely so, having reached a critical moment of life and death.

At this thought, Eldrin's expression turned solemn as he said, "Bring an item that Qingci carried with him. We shall perform a divination."

"I have brought it."

Cheng Xinan spoke as she not only produced the personal artifacts commonly used by Qingci Sanren, but also brought forth the soul lamp, clearly demonstrating thorough preparation.

"With the Soul Lamp in hand, things will be much easier."

Eldrin spoke as he activated the Star-Gazing Tower, harnessing the power of this unique spiritual treasure to perform the Great Divination Art, seeking to deduce the fate of the Green Verse Wanderer—whether they lived or had perished.

A mere instant later, he couldn't help but furrow his brow and murmur, "Great peril intertwined with great fortune—the outcome remains shrouded in uncertainty."

Cheng Xinan, seeing this, urgently inquired, “May I ask, True Lord, how is my father faring?”

"For now, there is no imminent danger of death." Eldrin spoke, then furrowed his brow and added, "According to my divination readings, he appears to be within the 7 Stars Ancient Domain."

"Since we can deduce the location, I shall go and see for myself."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke thus and set off for the 7 Stars Ancient Domain that very day.

The 7 Stars Ancient Domain was 1 of the 6 human ancient domains in the Eastern Wastelands (Location), lying over 1 100 50 million li from the Ji Continent. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would require 1 or 2 years to traverse this vast expanse.

Fortunately, teleportation arrays connected the 2 great continents. After transferring through several arrays, Eldrin arrived at the 7 Stars Ancient Domain in merely half a month.

After arriving at the 7 Stars Ancient Domain, Eldrin once again utilized the Soul Lamp for divination and soon deduced the approximate location of the Loose Cultivator of Azure Verse.

"It must be somewhere in the Xuanxu Continent."

After pinpointing the approximate location, the 2 soon arrived at the Xuanxu Continent.

Upon their arrival, Lyra said, "Let's gather some information first and see if anything significant has happened in the Mystic Dawn Continent these past days."

"Very well."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded and immediately set out to investigate the news of Mystic Dawn Continent.

The Profound Dawn Continent was considered a major realm within the 7 Stars Ancient Domain, home not only to over a 100 Golden Core cultivators but also guarded by a dozen or so Nascent Soul True Lords.

They found a nearby Golden Core cultivator, who immediately asked upon seeing them, "Esteemed Ancestors, have you come for the ruins of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location)?"

"9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) ruins?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Eldrin's face, surprised by the other's words. "Tell me more," he said.

As the Golden Core Elder spoke, Eldrin quickly understood why this person assumed they had come for the ruins of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool.

Legend has it that the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) holds extraordinary origins. It is said that in ages long past, this very site was once territory belonging to the demonic tribes.

In that era, 9 Dragons Lake was occupied by 9 great demon emperor flood dragons, hence the name 9 Dragons Lake.

Later, during a cataclysm from the demonic abyss, both the human and demon races of the Eastern Wastelands (Location) cultivation world suffered complete defeat. The 9 revered flood dragon demon emperors of 9 Dragon Lake also perished in the great tribulation.

Legend has it that after the 9 Demon Emperors fell, their legacies contained vast quantities of priceless treasures.

It was a pity that by the time the human race reclaimed the Eastern Wastelands (Location), several 1000 years had already passed. Over these millennia, with the continuous great wars, the ancient domains and continents of those days had long since vanished.

The current Xuanxu Continent was only established a few 1000 years ago. Over this vast stretch of time, even mountains and rivers have shifted their courses, so naturally, no 1 remembers the exact location of 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location) anymore.

Yet not long ago, the ruins of 9 Dragon Lake were inadvertently unsealed by a False Infant cultivator, stirring up the entire Profound Dawn Continent from that moment onward.

Not only did several Nascent Soul forces from the Xuanyuan Continent spring into action, but even True Monarch experts from various great continents near Ji Continent arrived in droves, hoping to see if they could claim a share of the spoils.

For this very reason, the Golden Core cultivator believed that Eldrin and his companion had also come for the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool.

"You may leave."

After listening, Eldrin let the man depart, then turned to Lyra and said, "If my assumptions are correct, Brother Qingci must be trapped within this 9 Dragons' Deep Pool."

"Then let's go take a look." Lyra nodded before continuing, "They say the 9 Dragons' Deep Pool was once inhabited by a demon emperor at the Great Perfection stage of Nascent Soul. It should still hold some decent legacy."

Having made their decision, the 2 immediately flew toward 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location).

When they arrived at 9 Dragons' Deep Pool (Location), they discovered over a dozen formidable auras already encircling the area—all clearly existences at the venerable True Monarch level.

The 2 leaders were both late-stage Nascent Soul grand cultivators. 1 of them was actually known to Eldrin—it was none other than Lilith, Mistress of Desire, ranked among the 10 Great Beauties of the Eastern Wastelands.

Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) resided in the Palace of 6 Desires, which happened to be located not far from the Profound Dawn Continent. No wonder she had arrived here.

The others also noticed the 2 of them. Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) curved her eyes into a faint smile and said, "I never expected to meet both of you here today."

"Meeting an immortal maiden is also our great fortune."

Eldrin (Person Name) cupped his hands in a slight salute, offering what could be considered a smile in return.

The other True Monarchs present showed subtle shifts in expression upon witnessing this. The man at the late Nascent Soul stage smiled faintly and said, "Both fellow Daoists appear unfamiliar. Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name), would you not introduce them to us?"

Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) smiled faintly at the sight and said, "These 2 are the Daoist of the Returning Abyss and the Celestial Ruins Fairy. Do not underestimate them—their combined combat prowess rivals even that of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators."

"They share a close bond with the Ji Clan. I was only fortunate enough to make their acquaintance when the sacred lord Dorian (Person Name) achieved his breakthrough into the Nascent Soul realm."

Upon hearing this, the True Monarchs' expressions shifted subtly, not only due to the duo's remarkable prowess but also because of Dorian's formidable reputation.

Titles such as Saint Monarch and Immortal Monarch are of unparalleled nobility. In the immortal realm, only those who have attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm are qualified to be addressed as such.
