Ye Chu and the four of them shot towards the distance. With their current strength their speed was much faster than ordinary horses. The four moved extremely quickly and soon reached the centre of the fluctuating world essence energy.
Upon arriving at this place everyone could absorb thick spiritual energy with every breath. This spiritual energy became almost solid and penetrated into the body of every cultivator. Ye Chu felt his blood and qi become active because of it.
This was a rare opportunity. Cultivating under such spiritual energy could compare to taking spirit origin pills.
“Boom… boom…”
The terrifying world essence energy continued to erupt violently. Between each eruption it surged like a fountain. The world spiritual energy spread out and filled the area within a hundred miles.
This was a great opportunity for cultivators. Everyone began to breathe deeply.
When Ye Chu arrived at the centre of the heavenly phenomenon many people had already rushed over. Among them were no lack of strong experts. Every one of them looked ahead in shock.
In the land ahead a lake had appeared out of nowhere. The lake water was blood red. The terrifying world essence energy was surging out from this lake. Every time the blood red lake water rolled it would stir up endless world essence energy that spread to the surroundings.
The lake spanned ten miles across. It was blood red all over as if the entire lake was made of blood. As the lake water rolled it brought up ripples. At the same time an indescribable pressure spread out giving people enormous strain.
“Boom… boom…”
The lake water kept rolling bringing terrifying heavenly phenomena. The fluctuating world essence energy stirred the space. Even the clouds in the sky were pulled and rolled continuously giving people endless shock.
Many people rushed over. Looking at this lake they could not help swallowing their saliva. They were stunned by the lake.
Some knowledgeable people looked at this lake and suddenly thought of a legend. One of them could not help changing colour and cried out in shock: “Is this the legendary dragon blood lake?”
One sentence caused the noisy crowd around to fall silent. Everyone stared heatedly at the lake covered in blood light that stirred up endless world essence energy.
“Dragon blood lake?” People from Wuyang Prefecture were no strangers to this lake. It was even a legend. The tale said that back then an evil dragon rampaged in Wuyang Prefecture and slaughtered many cultivators there. This angered the supreme experts of Wuyang Prefecture.
Several supreme experts from Wuyang Palace joined hands to surround and kill this evil dragon.
But the evil dragon was terrifying. Its refined blood had reached the extreme and its body was incredibly strong. It fought several supreme experts without falling into defeat.
This enraged the supreme experts. They condensed a sacred array to trap the evil dragon and used a terrifying world weapon to self detonate. They heavily injured the evil dragon and chopped off its tail. The evil dragon’s blood flowed like a river.
The evil dragon was severely wounded and was jointly suppressed and sealed by the several supreme experts in one place.
The blood that flowed from the chopped dragon tail turned into a lake. This lake was the dragon blood lake.
A dragon even a flood dragon was an extremely terrifying creature. Its entire body was a treasure. Not to mention one that was almost transforming into a true divine dragon. The blood it dripped had infinite value. The world essence energy nurtured within it went without saying.
Just the waves and vibrations from the lake water could cause such world essence energy fluctuations. One could imagine the power nurtured inside this lake.
At least Ye Chu could not imagine how thick it was. Ye Chu only knew this was a massive fortune. Whoever could control this lake would definitely be able to nurture countless experts.
Ye Chu naturally knew the value of dragon blood. It was one of the few treasures that could change a person’s talent. Dragons cultivated the body. Their physical bodies were rarely matched by cultivators. Even among sacred beasts and fierce beasts it was almost impossible to find one with a body comparable to a dragon.
One of the values of dragon blood was that it could temper a cultivator’s body. There was once a cultivator who obtained dragon blood and replaced his own blood with it. His body grew to an indescribable level. With one hand he could tear apart fierce beasts of the same rank and achieved great fame. Some cultivators who specialised in body cultivation were nothing but weak chickens in front of him.
With dragon blood in his body he had the power to break mountains and split the earth with a wave of his hand. Weapons could not leave even a trace on his body. This was the value of dragon blood.
Dragon blood could change a person’s talent especially their physique. It could temper a cultivator’s body into steel bones and expand the cultivator’s qi sea.
Ye Chu’s primordial spirit was extraordinary and his talent was extremely high. But his physique had always been his weakness. Although he had black iron to open it the effect was limited. It was only a line stronger than ordinary geniuses and quite a lot weaker compared to people like Ye Jingyun.
But now there was a dragon blood lake before him. If he could obtain the tempering of dragon blood Ye Chu was confident that his physique and qi sea would expand and his talent would surge.
Thinking of this Ye Chu could not help feeling excited. The larger the qi sea the stronger he would be. When he reached the profound life realm this benefit would become even more obvious.
“Dragon blood lake. A lake that can create countless geniuses. It is a legendary existence.”
Yang Ning was also stunned at this moment. She grew up in Wuyang Prefecture and naturally knew what the dragon blood lake represented. This was a legend. It was said to have created many peerless geniuses.
It had been a thousand years since its last appearance. They had not expected to be lucky enough to encounter it.
As long as one could enter the dragon blood lake and soak once their strength would definitely increase greatly. That was secondary. The most important thing was that their physique would increase by at least double.
Cultivating the physique was inherently difficult. Yet just soaking could double it. For cultivators this was like a pie falling from the sky. It was a huge cheat.
“Go!” Ye Chu pulled Yang Ning and Ye Jingyun and rushed forward. His eyes also became heated. Compared to others Ye Chu had a stronger desire to increase his own physique.
Others could not resist such temptation either. Figures flashed one after another and shot towards the dragon blood lake. The violent world essence energy turned into howling winds. It was thick enough to shock the heart. But at this time no one cared about this thick world spiritual energy. They all focused their eyes on the dragon blood lake.
A group of people wanted to shoot into the dragon blood lake. But before they could rush in they were shaken back by the lake’s light. Terrifying intent surged out carrying a trace of dragon majesty. It sent everyone who tried to enter flying out. No one could get into the dragon blood lake.
Even Ye Chu and Yang Ning and the others were directly shaken out and their blood and qi rolled violently.
“Ah! Cannot enter!” Someone went crazy and charged fiercely. But the dragon blood lake had an invisible barrier like surface that blocked everyone outside. No matter what strong force they used they could not break through.
Many cultivators charged with full force but all ended in failure. This result cooled the hearts of the originally excited people. One by one they looked ahead in a daze. The heat and madness in their eyes disappeared and turned into doubt instead.
In this deathly silence a cultivator suddenly spoke: “I wonder if everyone has heard of that legend?”
One sentence made everyone sober up: “You mean that legend?”
Everyone fell silent because of this. Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun were puzzled and could not help looking at Yang Ning. They wondered what riddle they were talking about.
