After spending more than ten hours without finding the so-called Divine Soul Jade Pool, Ye Yun randomly chose a path to walk up.
This path was paved with white jade steps. In front of the path stood a statue of a twelve-winged angel holding a giant greatsword. The entire statue was a hundred meters tall, its sword tip planted in the ground, its hands casually resting, like a king surveying the land before him.
This was an angel of the divine race from the Western world. Twelve wings belonged to the highest tier, and Ye Yun wondered which legendary existence it represented.
Standing at the foot of the statue, Ye Yun watched the Golden Crow, which had sputtered a few times and failed to fly, and casually put it away. From the moment he formally stepped onto the foot of the mountain, not only could the Golden Crow not fly, but Ye Yun's Flowing Wind Wings were also rendered useless.
"Master, shall we fight our way up?" Black Ant always maintained a passionate spirit for combat, whether in the real world or in the game.
"Mmm, but be mindful if there are any hidden realms or similar existences!" Ye Yun nodded, but his primary objective was to locate the Divine Soul Jade Pool. Its value was imaginable, capable of nurturing native beings like the divine race, which exceeded level one hundred.
Ye Yun, accompanied by Black Ant, ascended the steps one by one. Because he needed to check the surroundings for any hidden realms, he and the beast proceeded exceptionally slowly, unwilling to miss any details.
Hidden realms were naturally secret. However, they were not entirely untraceable. After all, it was a game world, and any proximity would trigger some form of notification.
Ye Yun and Black Ant searched their way up, not even overlooking the hundred meters on either side of the main path. It wasn't until they had climbed two hundred steps that they discovered a space vortex about half a meter in size, about seventy meters to the right.
A hidden realm entrance!
Upon seeing the vortex, Ye Yun dashed towards it without a second thought.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player for discovering 'Heavenly Origin Hidden Realm 5'. Would you like to enter?"
"Enter!" Ye Yun chose to enter directly, without any hesitation.
"Special prompt: This hidden realm concerns the secret of the origin of the 'angels' of the divine race. It is extremely dangerous within. Please confirm whether you wish to proceed."
"Confirm!"
Ye Yun's vision suddenly went black, and he instantly vanished from his spot.
"What in the world is this place!?"
Ye Yun's vision cleared again, and he couldn't help but be greatly astonished by his surroundings.
The place he was in resembled the bottom of the sea, and the surrounding seawater was isolated by a thick, transparent energy shield, forming a vast space of tens of thousands of square meters where Ye Yun stood.
This seawater was also strange. Rather than calling it seawater, it was more like boiling water, as Ye Yun could clearly feel the space in this seawater churning incessantly. Large bubbles would occasionally erupt, filled with steaming mist that emitted a faint luminescence.
When these bubbles rose to a certain height, they would suddenly collide horizontally with the energy shield of the space, as if some kind of suction were pulling them in.
The bubbles burst upon impact with the energy shield, and the luminescent mist within was absorbed by the energy shield, flowing along with the shield's energy.
These bubbles appeared almost every second or two, so the entire space was filled with the sound of bursting bubbles and even the whistling of the luminescent mist as it flowed with the shield's energy.
Dangerous? They had even warned him twice? This entire space, apart from a three-meter by three-meter pool in the center, was completely empty!
Ye Yun looked around, not sensing any danger.
A gust of wind howled, and Ye Yun's body suddenly tensed.
"System prompt: Player has suffered a special attack. Attack strength: seven hundred billion. Due to the attack strength not reaching the player's physical strength level, the damage dealt is zero."
"System prompt: ..."
System prompts...
One after another, system prompts exploded in Ye Yun's mind, like raindrops in a storm, coming too fast to keep track. Before Ye Yun could react, there were already more than a dozen attack notifications!
Ye Yun quickly looked back at Black Ant. At this moment, more than a dozen mandatory damage values appeared above Black Ant's head every second.
Indiscriminate area-of-effect attack! The attack strength reached seven hundred billion, and the attack speed was incredibly fast!
Fortunately, those dozen or so guys were foolishly lucky and hadn't entered here, otherwise they would have been wiped out.
Ye Yun shielded the attack notifications. With the absence of such dense system prompts, the space instantly felt much quieter, but it was a苦 job for Black Ant.
"System prompt: Congratulations to player Hong Yun Qi Tian! Discovered 'Weak Water Heavenly Origin Pool'. For specific effects, please check yourself!"
Weak Water Heavenly Origin Pool Description: Naturally formed at the volcanic vent of Mount Vulcan at the bottom of the Weak Water. Due to the constant volcanic activity of Mount Vulcan, the heavenly origin energy produced by the boiling of the Weak Water was absorbed and condensed into Heavenly Origin Water. Over time, the place where the Heavenly Origin Water condensed formed the Heavenly Origin Pool. This Heavenly Origin Pool was discovered in ancient times by a cultivator of the Hundred Tribulations Realm. Using the essence blood of a Heavenly Peng as a catalyst, along with supreme secret techniques and formations, a new race was created and named 'Angels'!
What the f***!
Ye Yun was utterly speechless upon reading this description.
The angelic branch of the divine race was actually created!! Could this also be the case in reality?!
And what was this Hundred Tribulations Realm cultivator? What kind of realm was the Hundred Tribulations Realm? To be able to create such a race, how powerful and terrifying must they be!
Drip...
At this moment, a single drop of water suddenly appeared above the Weak Water Heavenly Origin Pool and fell into the pool.
The previously dry pool instantly erupted with a dazzling light, illuminating the entire space in white. This process lasted for a full thirty seconds.
It took Ye Yun a full minute to recover from his blindness.
But...
This was truly beyond belief. Floating above the pool was a figure, ten feet tall. Apart from a pair of pure white wings on its back, it had a human-like appearance, and even its chest...
Damn it, a female angel. Is this really appropriate for the game?
