Chapter 1506 - Ancient Monk Remains
This lion’s smile was just too dishonest. The giant lion head looked extremely bold and powerful, and also extremely malevolent, the golden mane several feet long, the snow-white fierce teeth in its wide mouth sharp like daggers.
When Shi Hao landed inside the water, his entire body went rigid, as if he was frozen. Of course, the temperature here was far lower than that of an icehouse. His flesh was being squeezed, simply feeling as if he was going to crack apart.
He inwardly cried out ‘not good’, quickly resisting.
However, immediately afterwards, the extreme cold disappeared, the pool water suddenly boiling, becoming who knew how many times hotter than magma, divine force overflowing in the pool.
As a result, Shi Hao was inwardly shaken, at the same time, he was frightened. His flesh actually felt as if it was being cooked through, at the same time about to be torn apart. This pool was extremely strange.
He didn’t sense any natural luck, instead feeling as if he was going to be ripped apart.
From extreme cold to extreme heat, this transformation happened just too quickly.
“All of you, do not come!” The golden lion shouted.
It was because at this time, six or seven figures rushed up the mountain, now overlooking the pool, their eyes erupting with divine radiance.
While standing on the cliff, they could clearly sense the lake’s surging divine force. It was just too strong, moreover, there was a wave of clear fragrance, as if it was a pool of immortal dao elixir.
These people didn’t pay the golden lion any attention, directly jumping in, producing a great splash.
Ah…
There were immediately loud cries. Great pain covered their bodies, the pain seeping down to their souls. They couldn’t hold on anymore.
There were immediately people who wanted to jump out, starting to struggle, wishing to leave. However, in the end, they were dragged down, confined in the water.
Pu!
Blood splashed outwards. One of them directly melted, turning into a clump of blood, body and spirit erased.
“No! What kind of blasted place is this?!” Another person shouted out. His flesh was being corroded, then, it melted into tens of thousands of strands of multicolored light. He also began to melt.
“Let me go!” The others roared, struggling intensely.
However, all of their bodies broke apart without exception, one after another, some of them directly having their primordial spirits evaporating into a rain of light. Their results were all the same, disintegrating in the pool.
The seven young experts died instantly, body and spirits completely wiped out!
This was a great tragedy, the individuals who came later all died.
What place of natural luck? This was completely a demonic pool!
This conclusion made those cultivators’ expressions immediately change. Some of these young experts came from King Clans, yet in the end, they all died for no good reason.
“Little lion, you best give me an explanation!” Below, an elder’s face immediately fell.
“Senior, they were too rash, this opportunity isn’t that easily obtained.” The golden lion shook its head. Just now, it already tried to stop them, but in the end, those individuals didn’t listen.
At this moment, in the pool, Shi Hao endured tremendous pain. The instant those people melted, he already knew that this was a devil’s nest, that he had fallen into a trap.
The water was too domineering, simply about to crush his flesh apart.
Moreover, his primordial spirit also suffered attacks, about to break apart.
This left Shi Hao extremely puzzled. Why was the golden lion unaffected, not destroyed after it entered?
Shi Hao clearly saw those King Clan youngsters’ miserable ends. If not for his innate talents being freakishly powerful, his cultivation profound, flesh strong, he would have followed in their footsteps.
Shi Hao wanted to struggle free, but he discovered that it was as if he had fallen into a swamp, actually unable to budge at all. He was trapped here.
“Heh, you even dare steal my opportunity?” The Fearless Lion laughed, a bit cold, carrying killing intent.
In the distance, when the group of people saw this scene, they all couldn’t help but reveal strange expressions. This lion was a bit too vicious.
“No wonder you were acting so high-profile, this was purposely to make me fight over this natural luck with you.” Shi Hao looked at it coldly.
During this process, cracks appeared on his body one after another, clearly unable to hold on much longer. The rotten wooden chest floated on the water surface, not sinking.
“Heh heh, I already said that today, you are going to die here. This type of natural luck isn’t something anyone can obtain.” The golden lion smiled coldly.
Moreover, at this moment, it chanted a type of incantation, the voice extremely indistinct, outsiders couldn’t understand it, using this to support its body. It was precisely this type of scripture that ensured its good condition.
Previously, he silently chanted this scripture, now, he directly chanted it. This could also be counted as a type of ridicule directed towards Shi Hao.
Right at this time, the people at the foot of the mountain moved, rushing up the mountain. Of course, there were still half of them who were more cautious, not acting rashly, not ascending the mountain.
“The mission is almost complete, we can bring this chest back!” An elder said with a smile, arriving at the mountaintop.
After being sure that the ancient beast wasn’t going to wake, they released a slight breath of relief. Quite a few people stood by the lakeside, looking towards the center of the lake.
“Heh heh, this really is interesting. This is basically catching a turtle in a jar, right?” A middle-aged man mocked, feeling like trapping Huang like this really was quite amusing.
“Haha, Huang, why aren’t you running now? Weren’t you going to take heads? Don’t you feel extremely stupid and cowardly now?!” A few youngsters laughed in an unbridled manner.
Many people came up, standing at the peak, looking at Shi Hao, wishing to witness this special moment.
“If you have the guts, then why don’t you come down to capture me?” Shi Hao replied.
His head was drenched in sweat, enduring tremendous pain, body about to break apart. The pain was extremely difficult to endure, even his spirit about to turn into a rain of light, being corroded.
This pool was extremely strange, sometimes cold, sometimes blazing hot. Sometimes, natural laws would extend, and then not long afterwards, scripture sounds could be heard again.
This place was too extraordinary, always changing, and also extremely dangerous. It wanted to turn all living things that entered it into a part of itself.
On the shore, a few youngsters were curious. Sneers appeared on the corners of their lips, not holding back at all as they took action.
Under normal circumstances, they were far from being Shi Hao’s opponent. However, now that he was in a critical situation, yet still wasn’t willing to lower his head, they naturally wanted to teach him a lesson. They wouldn’t mind just killing him here.
Chi!
Large amounts of light scattered down, all of them terrifying ancestral methods. However, what left them shocked was that these methods were all ineffective, absorbed by the divine light, completely neutralized.
“This…” The youngsters’ faces were green and red. The enemy was right before their eyes, yet they couldn’t do anything to him. This really was absurd.
“Fearless Lion, what is going on?” One of them asked.
At this time, an elder appeared as well, his face overcast, not all that pleasant to look at. It was because one of his descendants dissolved here not long ago.
“Senior, don’t do it!” The golden lion warned.
“What, don’t tell me not even I can touch this pool?” The elder asked coldly. He didn’t give the Fearless Lion much face, feeling like that later generation of his died too unjustly.
The Fearless Lion bloodline really was too powerful, their ancestor suspected to still be alive, intimidating the world. If not for this, this elder really wanted to punish the golden lion.
“This is a Reincarnation Pool. It is extremely bizarre, also called Pool of Tempering. Anyone who enters will endure extreme pain exceeding what one can endure, be crushed.” The golden lion explained.
Even if it was a great cultivator, it was all the same. They will endure power exceeding the limits of the Self Release Realm, impossible to resist.
“Then why are you perfectly fine?” That elder asked with a sunken expression. Moreover, he reached out a hand, wishing to give it a try, slightly touching the water.
Chi!
As a result, after a finger touched the lake water, it was slowly corroded. Then, it became badly mangled, almost falling off.
The elder quickly backed up, sucking in a cold breath of air. What kind of blasted pool was this?
When the others saw this, they revealed expressions of shock one after another. Previously, they thought that it only targeted the younger generation, that they could calmly enter.
Now, it seemed like this pool was far more terrifying than they imagined!
“It is because this pool was originally prepared for our bloodline.” The golden lion explained.
“What?” Many people were shocked.
Shi Hao endured tremendous pain, holding on this entire time. Even though he was in imminent danger, he still hadn’t been destroyed.
This made the golden lion’s eyes release divine multicolored light, feeling shock towards Shi Hao’s persistence.
“This Reincarnation Pool should be left behind for the ancient monk bloodline…” The golden lion said.
When it came to this place, it sensed the Reincarnation Pool’s aura even when it was still far away. It was just like what was recorded in its clan, this was the result of the ancient monk’s derivations.
Back the, the Fearless Lion’s ancient ancestor had followed the Immortal Monk King.
Perhaps it could be said that the Fearless Lion’s ancestor had previously been subdued by the ancient monk, forced to enter this sect.
That was why they were proficient in buddhist methods, grasping all types of ancient monk great divine abilities, knowing many secrets.
“The ancient monk bloodline wished to display reincarnation, this is their magnificent feat…” The golden lion didn’t withhold this information.
It couldn’t say for sure just what kind of wonderful use this pool ultimately had exactly, but it knew that this pool could be used for cultivation, that it was extremely beneficial for itself.
This was on the premise that it had a type of special ancient scripture, using it to support itself.
At the same time, one needed the ancient monk’s constitution!
The so-called ancient monk constitution referred to cultivating this inheritance’s methods, grasping the buddhist ways. After reaching great mastery over it, they would inherit a body with wondrous magical force.
In short, it was precisely the body obtained from cultivating the ancient monk bloodline’s scripture long term.
The Fearless Lion naturally satisfied the conditions, which was why when it saw this pool, it was immediately moved. This was definitely natural luck for it.
“This pool is so extraordinary, is there really no chance for the rest of us?” An elder asked.
It was because they deeply understood how frightening the ancient monk bloodline was. Back then, the Immortal Monk King had made the foreign side pay an incomparably bitter price.
“Even if I teach you all the scriptures, it has to be cultivated for at least a decade, making the body obtain the buddhist attribute, only then can this pool be entered.” The golden lion replied, producing a faint smile.
“Is there really no other way?” A few youngsters were still unwilling to accept this. It was because they already knew that this was an extremely astonishing form of natural luck.
“There is if you are heaven-defying enough, able to endure this tempering, able to survive. However, do you dare try? Since the ancient times, only Immortal Monk King was able to accomplish this when he was young, previously scattering the buddhist nature, yet still wasn’t destroyed after entering this pool.” The golden lion said.
When it spoke up to here, it frowned. It stared at Shi Hao, because after such a long time, he actually didn’t completely dissolve, still remaining alive!
“Why isn’t he dead yet? Don’t tell me that another Immortal Monk King is going to be produced?!” The eyes of an elder standing on the shore swirled with frightening radiance, staring at Shi Hao.
This drew everyone’s attention. Huang had already been down there for quite some time. Based on what the golden lion said, he should have already dissolved, so why was he still alive?
