Chapter 第六百三十四章 遗迹九龙潭
"It seems we can only rely on ourselves now."
Eldrin let out a soft sigh before speaking, "After I return, I will immediately enter seclusion to cultivate and see if I can break through to Nascent Soul, Mid Stage as soon as possible."
He would also invite a few more friends by then to increase their chances of success. Hearing this, everyone nodded and said nothing more.
After leaving 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 Green Verse Hermit. Upon seeing them, he pleaded, "Ancestor, I beg you to save my father!"
"What happened?" Eldrin frowned, immediately asking, "Get up first before you speak."
"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 juncture between 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 commonly used items of the Azure Verse Hermit, but also brought forth the soul lamp, clearly demonstrating thorough preparation.
"With the Soul Lamp in hand, things just got much easier."
"Very well," Eldrin said, activating the Starwatch Tower. Using the power of this unique spiritual treasure, he performed the Great Divination Art to deduce whether Green Verse Scatterer still lived.
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) declared this 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 and 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 in the 7 Stars Ancient Domain, Eldrin once again utilized the Soul Lamp for divination, swiftly deducing the approximate location of the Carefree Lyricist.
"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 Profound Dawn Continent recently."
"Very well."
Eldrin (Person Name) nodded and immediately set out to investigate the news about the Profound Dawn Continent.
The Profound Dawn Continent was considered a major realm within the 7 Stars Ancient Domain, home to not only several 100 Golden Core cultivators but also over a dozen Nascent Soul True Lords overseeing its territories.
They found a Golden Core cultivator nearby, 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 part of a demonic realm.
In that era, 9 Dragon Lake was dominated by 9 Eldrin (Person Name) demon emperor flood dragons, hence the name 9 Dragon Lake.
后来一次魔渊浩劫之中，Eastern Wastelands (Location)修仙界人妖两族尽数败退，九龙湖的九尊蛟龙妖皇也陨落在了大劫之中。
