Ye Lingling suppressed her joy and nodded gently, "Brother Chuan, this is it. I can sense that the assessment site should be in the Lake of Life!"
Chapter 150 The End
"That's good!"
Lin Chuan visibly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ye Lingling's words.
Fortunately, the assessment site wasn't in an area teeming with ferocious beasts, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do.
"Let's go down and check the situation first!"
Lin Chuan took Ye Lingling's hand and jumped into the Lake of Life.
A large amount of water suddenly swirled around them, completely enveloping the two of them and easily isolating the water in the Lake of Life.
"Da Ming, let's go down and take a look too!"
Xiao Wu was filled with curiosity and immediately called for the Azure Bull Python to follow along.
"Sister Xiaowu, slow down!" The Azure Bull Python naturally wouldn't let Xiaowu go into the water alone. It took the lead and plunged into the Lake of Life, radiating azure light all over its body, forming a transparent film that enveloped the girl above its head.
The membrane not only repels water, but also draws oxygen from the water.
"Brother Chuan, over there."
Ye Lingling pointed to the lower right.
Lin Chuan nodded and led the girl to continue diving.
As they descended deeper into the water, sunlight could no longer penetrate the thick layer of water, and darkness gradually enveloped them, bringing with it a faint sense of oppression.
Feeling Ye Lingling's smooth, soft hand suddenly tighten, Lin Chuan gently patted the back of the girl's hand and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Lingling, I'm here."
As he spoke, Lin Chuan opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of golden fire that disappeared into the water.
The flames were not extinguished by the lake water; they continued to burn fiercely, and the dazzling light emitted from the flames illuminated the dark lakebed.
"This...this flame is amazing!"
With her gaze returning to the present, Ye Lingling was no longer afraid; instead, she was drawn to the small golden flame before her.
It's amazing that there are flames that can burn in water!
"Lingling, this should be it, right?"
With the help of the light provided by the golden flames of the earth fire, the situation at the bottom of the lake was fully revealed. The spot where Lin Chuan was pointing was covered with various aquatic plants, while a forest grew in the center.
It would seem quite out of place in this environment.
Ye Lingling nodded gently, "It should be that grove of trees!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Lin Chuan activated the mysterious power of the Water of All Things. The lake water seemed to be under his control, propelling the two of them rapidly toward the forest.
In a short while, the two entered the woods.
The lake water surged, and the Azure Bull Python arrived with Xiao Wu.
"What kind of flame is this? How can it burn in water?"
The moment she arrived, Xiao Wu was drawn to the golden flames of the earth fire beside her, her face filled with surprise and curiosity. In contrast, the Azure Bull Python's eyes were filled with apprehension.
As a snake-type spirit beast, it undoubtedly prefers a shady and damp environment and has a natural resistance to flames. However, the Azure Bull Python sensed an immense threat in this wisp of flame.
Is this also a human method?
In an instant, Lin Chuan's level of danger in the eyes of the Azure Bull Python rose several notches.
"Da Ming, there are forests in the Lake of Life. Why didn't you tell me before?"
Xiao Wu withdrew her gaze and looked at the dense forest in front of her. This was her first time diving to the bottom of the lake, and she never expected that there would be such a hidden world underwater.
The Azure Bull Python immediately felt a little aggrieved, "Sister Xiao Wu, you didn't ask!"
"Never mind," Xiao Wu waved her hand casually, no longer dwelling on the matter, and quickly came to Lin Chuan's side. "Xiao Chuan, is this the place you've been looking for? Is there anything special about this forest?"
"You'll find out soon enough, but I don't think you'll like it."
This is the place where the Goddess of Life conducts her assessment. Soul beasts are restricted by the rules of the God Realm and cannot become gods. Moreover, after reaching 100,000 years of cultivation, they will face a tribulation every once in a while.
If one survives the Heavenly Tribulation, one can continue to cultivate and improve one's cultivation level; if one fails to survive, one will die.
Although Lin Chuan was not sure whether this restriction was established by the gods of the divine realm, soul beasts had no good feelings towards either humans or gods.
"Lingling, how do we get in?"
Lin Chuan carefully looked around but found nothing unusual.
"Leave it to me!" Ye Lingling suddenly shook her head, cupped her hands slightly in front of her chest, slowly closed her eyes, and made a praying gesture.
The next moment, the mark between the girl's eyebrows suddenly lit up.
A rich aura of life burst forth, and the Lake of Life began to surge. Even the surrounding forests were drawn in, as if they came alive, and began to bloom with fluorescent green halos.
In an instant, a magnificent picture was painted on the bottom of the lake.
"So beautiful!"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she looked at everything before her with great excitement.
The Azure Bull Python beside it stared wide-eyed, its heart filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? This is clearly our soul beast territory. How could humans have triggered it?"
"The territory of soul beasts?"
Lin Chuan gave a noncommittal sneer and silently observed the changes around him.
Within the Lake of Life, the vitality of life has become increasingly active and abundant.
Upon realizing this, Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Such a commotion might alert the ferocious beasts in the dangerous land.
Just as he had thought.
The most secluded place in the Star Dou Great Forest is also the gathering place of a group of ferocious beasts.
On the other side of the Lake of Life, the water suddenly rippled, and a purple light appeared out of nowhere. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a pair of clear and transparent eyes.
However, its pupils are vertical, clearly indicating that it is not human.
"Such immense life energy! It's on the other side of the Lake of Life. This feels like... God, has that trial ground left behind by life been triggered by humans?"
The mysterious creature whispered softly, its beautiful eyes shimmering slightly.
She had already thoroughly explored the lake when she arrived, and the assessment site left behind by the Goddess of Life was naturally no exception.
It is precisely because of the existence of the place where the Goddess of Life conducts her trials that the Lake of Life possesses such pure life energy.
However, not wanting to miss this good place to recuperate, but also worried that the owner of the assessment site would find out his whereabouts, he chose to stay away and go to another place to recuperate.
"With such powerful life energy, if the other party can successfully inherit the divine position and is willing to treat me, the recovery time will undoubtedly be greatly shortened."
After a brief moment of contemplation, the creatures in the lake also became more active.
However, he is not in good condition at present, and he has a grudge against the gods of the divine realm. If he accidentally exposes his whereabouts, he may be hunted down by the gods.
Thinking of this, a certain idea in my heart dimmed again.
"It's better to be cautious. We've already waited this long, so what's a few tens of thousands more? Besides, someone has inherited the position of God of Life, and it's impossible for them to fully master the power of life in a short time. This is a form of weakening for the God Realm. Let it be!"
After uttering the last word, those beautiful dragon eyes slowly closed again.
The Lake of Life has regained its tranquility.
……
After waiting for a long time, the powerful aura he had imagined did not appear, which made Lin Chuan silently breathe a sigh of relief.
at last!
A beam of white light suddenly enveloped Ye Lingling and Lin Chuan.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Wu's eyes darted around, and she leaped towards Lin Chuan's location with a burst of speed.
"Sister Xiao Wu!"
The Azure Bull Python's eyes widened immediately, but it only had time to shout once before it saw the three people completely enveloped in a blinding light and then disappear into the forest.
The spot where the three had stood was now empty, and even the trees that had been emitting a verdant glow had returned to normal.
"Damn humans!"
The Azure Bull Python regained its senses and roared angrily to the sky.
The immense soul power surged, and the waters of the Lake of Life began to surge violently, as if the River God were enraged, forming whirlpool after whirlpool that swept towards the forest in front of them.
Surprisingly, the lake water, which rushed in with great force, was easily blocked by a force of energy.
No matter how hard the Azure Bull Python tried, it could not budge it in the slightest.
"Damn it, what the hell is this?!"
Seeing that it had no effect whatsoever, the Azure Bull Python grew increasingly anxious.
"How am I supposed to explain this to Erming?"
