Chapter 440: Chapter 440: The Holy Land of Jade Pond

They steeled themselves and hurried to the place where Li Wenli was, not daring to glance at another room as they passed each one.

They were afraid that if they looked too long at the Stone Gate, they might see a face or something else on top of it.

By the time they had run to Li Wenli’s side, they suddenly heard the sound of rushing water.

All were taken aback, "Why... why is there the sound of water?"

"Let’s go," Li Wenli pointed outside, then was the first to walk out.

The group once again formed the line they had at Meeting Immortals Bridge and walked outside.

It turned out that the last room of the Twenty-eight Immortals Residence was hiding a secret door, through which was another stone bridge.

The stone bridge wound upwards like the Sky Ladder, truly bearing a few traces of its namesake.

They climbed up the path, and at the end, they reached a mystical Green Pool.

This Green Pool was decorated with two characters that danced like dragons and phoenixes: Jade Pond.

Legend has it that Jade Pond was created when a drop of Immortal Dew from the Queen Mother of the West fell to the mortal realm and transformed, and since then the Queen Mother visited the mortal realm every year to take a tour.

Setting aside the truth of the legend, even if it were true, the Queen Mother of the West certainly wouldn’t visit this particular Jade Pond.

Bai Junjun felt disdain for this tacky, cave-tourism attraction.

However, strangely enough, no one knew how the water worked but it genuinely changed into rainbow colors, bearing some resemblance to the legendary, multicolored Jade Pond.

But it was here that something felt wrong; Bai Junjun couldn’t shake the feeling that upon entering this place, their consciousness and senses were veiled by something invisible.

Yet it was just a feeling, as in reality they could still see and hear.

"There might be some kind of illusionary formation here, be careful," Li Wenli warned.

The people behind immediately tensed up.

This Jade Pond was as large as a square, the water a product of the mountain’s permeation over the years, the accumulation’s duration unknown.

Li Wenli crouched by the water and examined it carefully, muttering, "This water is rich in minerals; it should be good for refining weapons."

Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow involuntarily, "Is there a Water Spirit here?"

Li Wenli shook his head, "It’s stagnant water."

But he didn’t understand why there was such an abundance of minerals here, as if at one point the water had soaked a huge mineral rock.

Yet what was strange is that in this vast Jade Pond, there was still no sign of the bandits, and no one knew where they had hidden themselves.

Moreover, typical tombs should be rather dangerous places, yet there were not many traps to be seen here.

Apart from the time it took to digest the discovery of Jade Pond, they had barely encountered any traps.

Even if the eight hundred people had already triggered all the traps for them, that should have left chaos in their wake.

But aside from occasional footprints, there were no other anomalies to be seen here, the cleanliness as if there were no traps at all.

If it had been the usual scenario, Li Wenli would probably have been grinning madly, bombing buildings and fishponds to force a direct confrontation with open fire.

However, this time, his approach to battle had changed notably; he was just observing the surroundings carefully and not acting rashly.

After watching the pond for a while, they noticed that most of the footprints were heading in the same direction.

If the Twenty-Eight Constellations area was the first layer, then Jade Pond was the second layer, and moving forward it was likely the third layer would be next.

However, how many layers could a tomb hidden within a mountain belly possibly have?

Of course, they didn’t know, and at this moment they could only play it by ear.
