Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 683 Immortal Pond

"Within the white fog lies the ancestral land of our Tianjige!"

When the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion spoke these words, his eyes suddenly emitted a peculiar glow. His eyes were filled with deep affection and fervor; he had long yearned for the ancestral land of Tianjige.

「Inside the carriage.」

How intriguing. A small Tianjige was actually born from this miniature world...

A gleam flitted across Ye Yun’s eyes, curving his lips into a slight, meaningful smile. Ye Yun was unaware of the origin of Tianjige. He didn’t expect that within this small world shrouded in white fog, it held many mysteries; it was surprisingly the ancestral land of Tianjige. If this is truly the ancestral land of Tianjige, I presume I can find more useful clues. Anticipation filled Ye Yun’s heart.

「Above the white fog.」

The two silver-robed figures continued their conversation.

"Pavilion Master, our Tianjige has a long history, spanning tens of thousands of years. However, regarding the ancestral land, everyone in the pavilion thinks of it as a legend. I never imagined that the ancestral land is indeed real..." the man mumbled to himself, still very shocked.

"The first generation forebear of our Tianjige emerged from the miniature world within here. After he came out, he established Tianjige. After the disappearance of the miniature world, he never returned..." the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion sighed.

"Pavilion Master, what exactly is this miniature world?" the man asked with curiosity.

"This miniature world is called Immortal Pond. Its space is vast and boundless..." The master of the Heaven’s Secret Pavilion spoke dreamily.

"Why is it called the Immortal Pond? This name is quite strange!" the man said with surprise.

"It is called Immortal Pond because there is a forbidden area within the miniature world containing seven Immortal Ponds. Hence, the first generation forebear named this Miniature World Immortal Pond!" the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion said.

"Pavilion Master, can we also enter the Immortal Pond?" the man asked eagerly.

"We certainly can." The Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion deliberated and said, "Recently, the celestial mechanisms have become exceedingly strange, and our Tianjige has been enjoying an unceasing tide of good fortune... Now that the legendary Immortal Pond has appeared, as descendants of Tianjige, we naturally seek our roots and ancestors, and must explore it!"

"Pavilion Master, if there’s talk about ancestors in the Immortal Pond, does it mean that—there could still be quite a number of humans living inside?" The man thought of a possibility.

"Exactly, based on the usual circumstances, it should be so. However, the founding ancestor’s descriptions of the Immortal Pond were always veiled in secrecy, and pitifully scarce. Thus, this time, I’ll send you to the Immortal Pond. How do you feel about it?" the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion asked casually.

"I’m willing to face any challenges for Tianjige. If I have to go through fire and water, I will never refuse!" the man said solemnly.

"Our Tianjige seldom directly intervenes in worldly affairs. This time is an exception. Hence, within the whole Tianjige, I’m only sending you..." the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion suddenly smiled.

Send just me? The man was taken aback, surprised that such a vital task had fallen onto his shoulders alone.

"Rest assured, I will issue a Mechanism Order which will command the Four Great Sects of the Heavenly Sun Dynasty to send a team each. They will follow your orders and join you in entering the Immortal Pond," the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion waved his hand, speaking confidently.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" The man was overjoyed and heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, the Star Compass that the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion had taken out began to deduce continuously. The man waited quietly.

After a moment, the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion spoke gravely, "In seven days, the gates of the Immortal Pond will officially open. However, the opening will not last long, just enough for ten breaths’ time. When the time comes, lead your people to enter quickly..."

"Pavilion Master, then how should I exit?" the man asked.

"As for how to get out, naturally I’m not clear. You have to improvise in the Immortal Pond. If you locate the Clan Members of our ancestor, I believe they will guide you out..." the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion mused.

"Alright, Pavilion Master, I assure you, I will surely find the way out!" Even though the man was a bit disheartened, he still made a promise to the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

「Meanwhile.」

In another direction, within the Miniature World of the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse.

Hidden deep in the well water, the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon was gazing in the direction of the well mouth, its eyes rolling. It could no longer sense that elder’s overpowering Super Divine Dragon Breath. At this moment, the Seven-star formation within the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon was incessantly operating, continually releasing a comforting Super Divine Dragon Breath.

I should leave this broken well and go to that place... the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon muttered to itself. As this thought arose, the look in its eyes grew increasingly fervent. That place isn’t too far from here. With my current speed, if I push myself to the limit and break through the void, I can directly leap there in no time! the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon analyzed.

Even though it feared that elder, the frantic thought in its heart had made it decide to take a risk.

No more cowering here! I want to go to that world! The Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon suddenly made up its mind.

It slowly swam out, its body shrinking slightly. After leaving the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse and this Miniature World, the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon strained every nerve, forcefully tore the void, and disappeared instantaneously.

The two projection bodies of Tianjige, who were observing the white fog, suddenly saw a beam of blue-red light tear through the void and plunge into the white fog.

"What’s this?" the man exclaimed in shock.

"This is..." The eyelids of the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion narrowed slightly, revealing intense seriousness in his eyes. In that fleeting glance, he had actually seen the true form of that figure. It was a giant dragon of blue and red.

"Where did this Divine Dragon come from?" The Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion stared wide-eyed, gazing fixedly at the Divine Dragon. It radiated a resplendent light, like thousands of stars, as it plunged headfirst into the Miniature World. And that Miniature World, surprisingly, did not repel it. Instead, it actively opened an entrance, allowing the dragon to fly in.

"This Divine Dragon seems familiar..." The Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion frowned as he reflected upon it. The next moment, he unhesitatingly raised the Star Compass and began to deduce again.

Within a few fleeting breaths, the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion had deduced the origin of the Divine Dragon.

"This is the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon!" the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion stated gravely.

"How did the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon change its color? According to our plan, wasn’t it supposed to be black?" the man murmured in surprise.

"I am also not sure. The Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon underwent unexpected changes. Perhaps it was right to abandon it initially..." the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion uttered grimly.

The man inquired, "Pavilion Master, this Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon has returned to the Immortal Pond. What should we do?"

"Seven days later, you shall lead the people of the Four Great Sects into the Immortal Pond. Only then should you go in search of the whereabouts of this Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon..." the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion sighed deeply.

The various unexpected events today left him feeling frustratingly powerless. Although his deductive abilities were excellent, human strength has its limits; it’s impossible to calculate all worldly matters with such precision. If Tianjige indeed possessed such immense capabilities, it would long since have been an Eternal Level Sect by now.

"Pavilion Master, rest assured. This time, I will surely find the Clan Members of our ancestor, and will also try to bring back the Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon!" the man drew a deep breath, stating earnestly.

"It doesn’t matter whether or not we can bring it back. With Tianjige’s current foundation, why should we care about a mere Dark Ancient Demonic Dragon?" the Master of Heavenly Secret Pavilion, eyelids lowered, gazed toward the white fog and said faintly.
