the valley.
Wei Yang slowly opened his eyes. A trace of lingering shock still flickered in his pupils.
"This... this is a jackpot," he murmured, his lips parting in awe.
This lake... yes, let’s call it the Life Spirit Lake.
The value of this Life Spirit Lake was simply incalculable.
In a cultivation world, this would be a genuine lake of spiritual liquid.
Every drop... was spiritual essence.
Now just imagine—how many drops filled an entire lake?
It was impossible to count!
Even in the Dou Qi Continent, the value of such a Life Spirit Lake was beyond measure.
With a resource like this, even a pig could probably become a peak Dou Zun over time—just by slowly cultivating here.
And if the user was someone with a Wood attribute?
Then it wouldn’t be surprising at all if they eventually reached the peak Nine-Change Dou Zun.
That thought alone made Wei Yang’s heart tremble uncontrollably.
It was a thrill. A deep, almost reverent excitement.
"A place this extraordinary... must hold something even more special," he whispered, eyes suddenly shining.
Taking a deep breath, he looked down at the ground beneath his feet.
"Time to go down and see for myself."
As his soul power surged from between his brows once more, the earth beneath him began to tremble and split open. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were tearing the land apart, revealing a narrow, deep passage leading underground.
Peering into the tunnel, he saw that the damp, dark soil still gave off faint threads of energy mist. Like gentle steam, they seeped upward and coiled into the air.
Moments later, the energy fog thickened, eventually forming a dense cloud within the tunnel itself.
Without hesitation, Wei Yang stepped forward, his figure disappearing into the mist.
...
As he ventured deeper underground, the energy swirling around him became denser and denser.
Even the soil at his sides—if you scooped up a handful—would qualify as top-tier medicinal soil.
A while later...
"Here we are," Wei Yang murmured, halting as his gaze settled forward.
The tunnel had reached its end.
A faint greenish glow radiated from the depths ahead.
At the same time, a thick wave of vitality, as gentle as a spring breeze, rushed over him—causing every pore in his body to relax and open.
Just breathing in that life force made his whole body tremble involuntarily with pleasure.
Only after a long moment did he finally calm himself.
He stepped forward slowly.
And when he reached the tunnel’s exit, his pupils shrank sharply.
Even though he had already "seen" this place once through his spiritual perception, and had fully prepared himself mentally, he still froze in place.
There were some sights so powerful, so awe-inspiring, that no amount of preparation could lessen their impact.
The scene before him... was breathtaking.
He found himself inside a massive underground cavern, resembling a natural subterranean world.
And within it lay a vast emerald lake, so still and pristine it looked like a mirror of jade.
The green water shimmered like crystal, with soft mist floating across its surface.
Thick energy fog rose from the lake, gathering in the cavern’s ceiling and forming a dense cloud layer.
But this wasn’t ordinary fog or vapor—this was a cloud formed entirely from solidified energy!
And below it was a lake made of nothing but pure, liquefied energy!
Powerful waves of life force saturated the entire underground space.
This wasn’t just a Life Spirit Lake—it was an entire world filled with boundless vitality.
Only by standing here personally and feeling it firsthand could one grasp the magnitude of its power.
Even the phrase "crafted by nature’s divine hands" wasn’t enough to describe this place.
Cultivating in such an environment... the benefits would be unimaginable.
And even though Wei Yang didn’t possess the Wood attribute, it didn’t matter.
After all, this was genuine, refined energy—and energy was energy.
He even seriously considered abandoning his journey to Central Plains and simply secluding himself here.
Spending eight or ten years cultivating here in peace... reaching the peak of Dou Zun would be nearly guaranteed.
And within twenty years, he could potentially break through to the peak Nine-Change Dou Zun, and even achieve peak Spirit Realm soul power!
For a cultivator at his level, that kind of timeline was incredibly fast.
But... unfortunately...
For Wei Yang, it was still a bit too slow.
And there were still too many opportunities waiting for him in Central Plains—opportunities he absolutely couldn’t afford to miss.
So, after wrestling with temptation in his heart for quite some time, he finally resisted the idea of staying here for twenty years.
A long while passed before Wei Yang finally calmed his emotions.
He stepped out into the air, walking above the lake’s surface until he reached its center.
His eyes slowly swept across the surroundings. Even now, he couldn’t help but feel as though all of this was still a little unreal.
After all, who would’ve thought that beneath a small, unremarkable valley at the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, over 800 meters underground, such a strange and miraculous place would be hidden?
This was a treasure land—one capable of making countless powers green with envy and willing to go to war over it.
Even the high and mighty Eight Ancient Clans would likely feel tempted by it.
After all, if any power possessed a land like this, in just a few decades—or at most, a century—they could nurture multiple peak Nine-Change Dou Zun experts.
Peak Nine-Change Dou Zun!
Without a Ban Sheng in play, that level of strength was enough to dominate the continent.
And if several Nine-Change Dou Zuns joined forces, even a Ban Sheng would have no choice but to retreat.
Any faction with such high-level powerhouses wouldn’t just intimidate Hall of Souls—even the Hun Clan would think twice before provoking them.
...
"A land this miraculous... how was it formed? And where exactly is its source?" Wei Yang muttered.
He stared into the lake beneath him, his eyes narrowing, gaze deep and thoughtful.
He had spent quite some time using his spiritual perception to investigate, but he’d found nothing—no trace of the lake’s energy source.
So much energy... and not a single discernible origin?
It was as if it had appeared out of thin air, which clearly defied all logic.
This was a vast, seemingly limitless lake—how could it have no source?
Even if you drained all the energy from the entire Magic Beast Mountain Range, or even from the entire Jia Ma Empire and its neighboring empires, it still wouldn’t be enough to create a lake of this scale.
And besides, setting aside how it was formed—just the fact that the lake was slowly losing volume showed that it wasn’t eternal.
The energy was constantly evaporating upward, forming the thick cloud layer that floated overhead. That cloud, in turn, seeped through the soil above, nourishing the small valley on the surface and creating that unique, life-rich environment.
Even though that upper valley gathered a good portion of the lake’s energy, it would still gradually dissipate into the atmosphere over time—spreading outward across the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
With such continuous loss year after year, no matter how vast the lake, if it had no source replenishing it, it would inevitably dry up.
"Where are you hiding... your source?" Wei Yang said softly.
He felt a wave of frustration.
If the origin was just a small hidden spring—or even a few of them—concealed within this enormous lake, then finding it would be no different from looking for a needle in the ocean.
What made things worse was that this incredibly pure and dense energy suppressed soul perception significantly.
His soul power had to expend extra effort just to pierce through each drop of water.
Earlier, his scan had only been a rough sweep—not nearly enough for a detailed search.
"Well... whatever. Let’s just start looking."
Wei Yang took a deep breath.
Then, he first returned to the tunnel entrance he had come from.
With a series of swift hand seals, the space before him rippled visibly.
Moments later, he finished placing a spatial-sealing formation at the entrance—locking it down completely.
This was to prevent any energy from leaking out through the tunnel and drawing unwanted attention from the outside world.
After all, if this overwhelming energy kept pouring into the Magic Beast Mountain Range, it’d be impossible not to cause a stir.
Once the barrier was complete, Wei Yang returned to the center of the lake.
With a wave of his hand, he shed all his clothing, stepping naked into the lake.
This wasn’t for any cultivation purpose—it was just a subconscious instinct.
Deep down, he simply didn’t want to let anything foreign contaminate this pristine lake.
Plop.
His body slipped beneath the surface.
The instant he submerged himself, a crushing pressure enveloped him from all sides, pushing and squeezing against his body.
That was normal.
After all, every drop of this lake was composed of pure, condensed energy—far denser than ordinary water.
Even a single sip could burst someone’s meridians, if their cultivation wasn’t strong enough.
But Wei Yang had been prepared.
With a thought, he formed a soul barrier—a transparent shield—around his body to block out the pressure.
Then, his body slowly sank deeper into the lake as he began his aimless search.
Wei Yang had a strong feeling...
That somewhere deep within this lake, its true source was hiding—along with some earth-shattering secret, or perhaps a tremendous opportunity.
Because to form such a colossal energy lake...it couldn’t have been by ordinary means.
