"And this summons is coming from the bottom of this lake."
Hearing this, Tang Chuan was slightly startled, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. As if reminded by Xiao Rui'er, he recalled something and thought to himself:
"I remember in the original work, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed after the demise of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, two of the Nine Great Dragon Kings. Ruier has the Bloodline of the Golden Dragon in her, so it's not impossible for her to sense their lingering aura. I just don't know if these two Dragon Kings left any legacy after their deaths? If there are Soul Bones, then wouldn't I..."
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes, and he immediately said,
"I'll go down and take a look."
Xiao Rui'er's expression grew anxious, and she quickly reached out to stop him, her tone carrying a hint of worry:
"No! This lake water is already very strange, extremely Yin and extremely Yang. With your current strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the energy within it."
Tang Chuan waved his hand, a faint smile playing on his lips, and said earnestly,
"Don't worry. I've previously consumed the immortal-grade medicinal Materials here, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fierce Flame Apricot Jiao, and used ice and fire for Body Refining. Now, this lake water can no longer harm me. Since you sense that there might be something down here, I'll go down and investigate."
"But..."
Staring intently at the lake surface, Xiao Rui'er frowned slightly, still feeling uneasy in her heart, and spoke again, "If there really is some powerful, ancient existence down there, with your current strength..."
However, before she could finish her sentence, she heard a splash.
Tang Chuan had already leaped in, splashing a large amount of water. He completely submerged into the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The lake surface quickly returned to calm, leaving only spreading ripples.
According to Tang Chuan's estimation, to freely dive in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,
one's strength would need to be at least above level ninety-five.
In the original work, Tang San, fearing that Dugu Bo would go back on his word and kill him, secretly consumed the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fierce Flame Apricot Jiao for Body Refining, allowing him to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to take refuge. Half a year ago, Tang Chuan also consumed these two immortal-grade medicinal herbs and underwent ice and fire Body Refining. Therefore, he is now able to freely dive in this lake water... Upon submerging into the lake water, Tang Chuan immediately felt an immense pressure constantly surging from all directions. However, as he slowly released the Soul Power within his body,
the incoming pressure also gradually weakened considerably.
At the bottom of the lake, it was pitch black.
Through his vast mental force, Tang Chuan could barely make out some of the surrounding environment. His gaze swept around, and he quickly swam downwards, rushing towards the depths.
As he continuously descended, he only felt the lake water from all directions pressing down on him like heavy mountains, fiercely squeezing his body.
This pressure was so suffocating that even with his full Soul Power circulating to resist it, he still felt a tightness in his chest, as if his body was about to be torn apart.
"No, if this continues, even with the protection of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Fierce Flame Apricot Jiao, I might be crushed to death by the water pressure at the bottom of the lake. Maybe I should go back first..."
As this thought arose, Tang Chuan was about to turn around and head back to shore.
Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of something; a strange light emanated from the depths of the lake.
Looking closely, two swirling light circles, one red and one blue, floated silently in the darkness not far away. They clung tightly to each other, yet seemed to be in opposition.
Because the swirling light circles were transparent, they did not obstruct Tang Chuan's vision. When his gaze swept past the swirling light circles, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Because, within these swirling light circles, there was nothing else.
Instead, there were two Dragon-shaped phantoms composed of pure energy, less than a zhang long, with layers of crystal-clear Dragon scales, transparent Dragon horns, and elegant, nimble Dragon whiskers.
