Ancestral Well
Three years later, Soil Series and Fire Series Rules were complete. He had so many artefacts that it was possible in just three years. Although he expended lots of Triad Divine Fire, it was a divine fire. If he could combine Life and Death Rule with Time Rule, he’d have an invincible divine skill. He was at the border of ascending to Immortal Cave Realm.
Yang Tian deepened his knowledge of River Diagam. He suspected Chubby’s diviination skill was derived from it. He learnt Bagua Divination. He used the turtle shell to practice daily. That was how he figured out a general from heaven would descend.
Yang Tian opened his eyes. He shouted and flicked his sleeve, cracking the void. Heaven Restoration Divine Cauldron appeared. Black energy, stone robe, hovered above it.
The divine herb awoke after sleeping for three years. Yang Tian went over to her with a smile. She contained essence and managed to fuse with the void. She rubbed her bleary eyes and pursed her lips as she scanned the surroundings. She jogged over to Yang Tian when she saw him. She was astonished to learn she had slept for three years.
Squinting, the divine herb sensed energy in the sentence calling out to her. Yang Tian traced her line of sight to check out what she mentioned. He smiled and suggested they head over; there might be a lucky chance for her, after all. She nodded. Yang Tian collected golden energy at his feet and took off with her. In the blink of an eye, they travelled dozens of kilometres.
The two arrived at a desolate area without any energy. The divine herb’s pupils dilated. She surveyed the area and pointed to a small path she could sense the call from. Yang Tian flicked his sleeve and took her to the innermost area. The place was damaged and carried the aura of death. The bizarre aura intensified. Heart beats were audible. Yang Tian frowned and picked up the pace, suspecting somebody had been there. The heart palpitations intensified.
They heard drumming sounds so intense one’s blood could flow in reverse. Yang Tian concentrated hard. A divine herb leapt out and shielded them. The heart beats outside gradually died down. Yang Tian picked up the pace again. Countless rivers flowed in reverse. Upon spotting Murong Feng up ahead, he wore on the face of a killer.
Murong Feng wrapped himself in runes to protect himself. They needed to be wary of the drumming sound. Murong Feng was heading toward the sound. Yang Tian secretly tailed Murong Feng. Murong Feng dallied for six hours before cautiously entering.
Inside was a well emitting a desolate ambience. The drumming came from inside. Murong Feng laughed. “Hahaha, I finally found you, Ancestral Well! I’ll be this generation’s ultimate cultivator as long as nobody can find Immortality Divine Water!”
It had been a long time since the water was seen. Its name was derived from the unverified legend that one drop of it would add ten thousand years to one’s lifespan. It was rumoured to be celestial water left behind. Others said an immortality divine tree produced it. There were no records to support the rumours.
Yang Tian pulled his eyebrows together because he was not convinced the aura of death was the water. Moreover, there was the drumming. Murong Feng also had misgivings. He peered into the well but could not see anything or identify who was drumming. The divine herb went through a variety of facial expressions and said, “Brother Yang Tian, I think I can hear something calling me from down there.”
“Wait for now. I sense something bizarre about it.”
The divine herb nodded.
Murong Feng waited for a long time. He threw a black rune into the well. The interior was dry and cold. The drumming tempo sped up a tad. The aura was suffocating.
