Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 698 The Real Thunder Pond, the Soul Lake
The world of clouds is very desolate. You can see the end at a glance. It is a vast expanse of white. Apart from the white clouds, there is nothing else.

"According to the soul clan king, the original thunder pool controlled the divine punishment and would suppress the powerful soul clan creatures."

"But later, the boundless thunderstorm in the thunder pool quietly disappeared, as if it was deliberately sealed."

Luo Yan's eyes turned and he carefully looked at the world in front of him. It was empty, with nothing.

He glanced at the sky and felt the strength of his own soul. He felt that the higher he flew, the more he felt sluggish, heavy, and restrained, as if he was being pulled by gravity.

The power of the soul was consumed very quickly, and it became very difficult to escape.

Moreover, there seemed to be an invisible barrier at a higher place, which was very much like the partition of the Dao Realm world.

This means that Luo Yan has reached the end of his flight and has reached the top of the Dao Realm world.

"It shouldn't be."

Luo Yan muttered softly, with deep confusion. He didn't believe that this was the top of the Dao Realm world, because it went against common sense and didn't match up with the rumors in the legend.

After all, the legendary world of Taoism can stand shoulder to shoulder with the world beyond heaven and serve as a bridge to the world of earthly immortals.

But where have we reached now? Is this the top?

Luo Yan didn't believe it!

Under the gray moonlight, the empty clouds stretch as far as the eye can see. No living creatures appear, no external noise is heard, it is empty, with nothing.

Luo Yan walked above the clouds, looked up, then looked at the clouds under his feet, and felt that this was an isolated and forcibly separated world.

"It looks like someone used great magic power to seal this place, forcibly cutting off a section of it."

“Similar to a space cage”

Luo Yan sensed a strong sense of disharmony and guessed certain facts.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed across the sky. Luo Yan put away his guesses, was secretly startled, and subconsciously chased in that direction.

He took one step and covered a distance of several hundred feet. He followed the shadow for a long distance, but in the end he still failed to catch up.

Suddenly disappeared into the sky.

"What is that? Is it a human or a ghost?"

"A creature from outside the domain? Or some other unknown creature?"

Luo Yan's heart was full of doubts. It was clearly broad daylight and everything was in plain sight, but a strange figure actually appeared. He couldn't help but feel surprised.

This is similar to a haunted house in broad daylight, which makes people feel creepy and a little bit confusing at the same time.

‘Wow! ’

Not far away, another black figure floated by. Luo Yan chased after it again, but still found nothing.

Luo Yan frowned, stopped where he was, and kept looking around.

It is vast, quiet, with nothing outside, and just a vast expanse of white.

In the following time, similar human-shaped shadows appeared several times, as if they were deliberately teasing Luo Yan.

After chasing them several times without any results, Luo Yan ignored them.

Just watching coldly from the sidelines.

"Those shadows have no breath of life, nor do they have the unique Dao rhyme of cultivators. Are they powerful cultivators of the upper three realms?"

"No, that's not right. They are not human."

Luo Yan was very confident that under the watchful eyes of his own divine eyes, no living being in the world could hide its own line of cause and effect, not even the strong ones in the upper three realms were exceptions.

But the strange thing is that the many shadows that suddenly appeared before his eyes had no causal connection at all, as if they had no connection with this world at all.

But is this really possible?
Theoretically speaking, if there is a person who never deals with other people all day and does not belong to any force, there will naturally be no cause and effect line.

But Luo Yan asked himself, do such people really exist in the world?
It's almost impossible!

Even if there is a very small probability, would the other party deliberately appear here just to tease him?
This is unrealistic!

"The mark of the predecessors?"

Luo Yan thought about it for a long time and then came up with an answer.

The imprints of predecessors are also traces of Taoism, which are not unfamiliar to practitioners. Many magical powers and secret techniques are engraved on those "treasures".

But it would be difficult for human cultivators to achieve this alone, because they need to resonate with the world so that the world will remember their shadow.

This is something that is very difficult to do deliberately; even a Mahayana master cannot do it!

Because there is a lack of an instrument to carry the seal of Tao.

Only by chance can a cultivator attain enlightenment, and then manifest his own "Tao", and then be remembered by heaven and earth.

From then on, the possibility of the existence of Dao Seal Brand became possible.

But this possibility is too small, so small that even though Luo Yan has been practicing for nearly a hundred years and has seen countless strong people, no one can achieve this level!
It is conceivable how difficult it is to have one's own Dao rhyme engraved!

After getting this answer, Luo Yan carefully observed those human-shaped imprints, and finally found that those shadows seemed illusory and unreal, but in fact they contained a certain "law"!
It is similar to some spiritual practice traditions, hiding in those shadows, waiting for their destined people.

"It is rumored that all the marks of predecessors are actually a reflection of the personal strength of powerful cultivators. It is a sign of extreme strength."

Luo Yan murmured softly. He couldn't catch up with those Dao shadow marks. He had no choice but to stare blankly.

Above the clouds, there was nothing but white clouds. Even the soul creatures that were almost everywhere in the Dao Realm world were nowhere to be seen here.

If you stay here for a long time, you will inevitably feel a little lonely and bored.

"I learned from the ancient books of the Five Elements Sect that the original Dao Realm world can reach the sky directly and communicate with the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"But now."

After Luo Yan tried to chase those shadows for a while, he found that he could not catch them at all, so he stopped paying attention to those Taoist shadows.

He wanted to fly towards the sky of a higher dimension. Even though he had broken free from the constraints of gravity, he was still blocked by an invisible barrier, as if he had now reached the top of the Tao realm world.

"No, Xu Fan, a member of the Soul Clan's royal family, once said that the location of the Thunder Pond is a place where muffled thunder sounds constantly appear."

"But after searching for so long, I didn't find the location he said."

"Could it be that Xu Fan is lying to me?"

Luo Yan pondered secretly, not missing any cloud in his sight, but unfortunately he still found nothing.

“No, it should be hidden.”

Luo Yan thought about it and felt that with Xu Fan's status and identity, there should be no need for him to lie to him. If that was the case, it meant that he had not found the right way yet.

Next, he walked and stopped above the cloud, and the third eye between his eyebrows was searching carefully, trying not to miss any corner.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Luo Yan’s mind, and he thought of the figures that had appeared earlier.

The position where they stood looked very much like a nine-square hexagram.

Thinking of this, Luo Yan used his hand as a blade to continuously outline in the void, connecting the paths of each Dao Shadow, and then drew a road map. Soon, all the Dao Shadows that appeared pointed to a certain position in the middle.

"found it!"

Luo Yan's eyes lit up, his body turned into purple lightning, and he rushed forward in an instant.

He came to the cloud, squatted down and looked carefully.

It didn't take long before he discovered a mysterious cloud pattern that was constantly changing and almost merged with the clouds.

It really is a sealed place!

Luo Yan made a direct move, sending out a bright light that flew into the cloud pattern.

Then, a strong suction force came from this innate cloud pattern and sucked him in.

With a "pop" sound, Luo Yan felt as if he fell from somewhere and then fell heavily on the ground.

This is inside the sealed area, but the clouds underfoot have turned into solid mud. A primeval charm comes to the face, presenting a sense of timelessness that makes people feel awe.

This place is different from the previous two levels of the Taoist world. It no longer appears empty, but is filled with many buildings, palaces, and magnificent architectural complexes.

However, most of the buildings have collapsed, leaving only ruins everywhere, no longer as glorious as they once were.

“Familiar feeling”

Luo Yan whispered, then strolled among these palaces. He remembered the ancient secret realm in the underworld, where there were also such lands, and it seemed that someone really had lived here.

But over the years, it has become abandoned.

Luo Yan looked around and saw that these ancient buildings were covered with drawings from ancient times, most of which were mainly in the shape of gods and demons.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that the surroundings were still quiet and seemed a little lifeless.

Luo Yan stood on the rooftop of a palace and looked at the surrounding buildings. All he could see were broken walls and ruins. It looked like a ruin, withered trees on all sides, giving it a sense of extreme desolation.

"What happened here? Even the buildings that were formed by spiritual thoughts were permanently destroyed?"

Luo Yan walked forward, feeling more and more confused.

You must know that the world of Taoism is different from the real world. It is a world woven by spiritual power, that is, soul power.

Therefore, from a practical point of view, if a building collapses and is damaged, as long as there is sufficient soul essence, these buildings have a chance to repair themselves.

It's a very simple truth. A living being that can condense its soul power into substance, or even transform it into a building, and then exist forever, can definitely make up for the problem of soul power.

However, Luo Yan also discovered a fact, that is, there seems to be some special Taoist domain in this area, which can allow his soul power to rest and make him feel very comfortable.

He walked around the huge buildings and then saw the valley hidden behind the ruins.

The valley was deep and concave, with some scattered trees standing there, but they were all gray and withered. With the slightest touch, they turned into fragments and dissipated into the air.

'Boom!' 'Boom!'

Walking into this desolate valley, Luo Yan could hear the endless thunder.

Unfortunately, we could only hear the sound but not see the lightning.

The mountains in the valley are all bare, without any grass, but there are many withered trees, as if foreshadowing the lush greenery of the past.

‘Chi! ’

A loud sound of electric arc rang out, echoing in Luo Yan's ears, which scared him. Just as he was about to be on guard, he realized that there was no thunder in front of him.

So Luo Yan had no choice but to give up.

There is a big lake in front, which is full of potholes and has dried up long ago, obviously it has been abandoned for a long time.

But the lake is very large, at least tens of thousands of feet in radius.

If it were allowed to recover its original vitality, it would definitely be a blessed land in this world of Taoism, and would be fought over by the soul clan creatures.

Looking back, the palace complex in front of the valley looks like a heavenly palace, standing in front of this special lake.

"Being able to use soul power to materialize a real complex of buildings, what a powerful force that must be?" Luo Yan sighed.

He knew very well that to achieve this, it would be almost impossible for him, not to mention even a true Mahayana master, to do it.

Because this involves the core essence of illusion and reality, and turning the false into the true.

Apart from those who do it intentionally, the only ones who can do this are immortals and gods!
Luo Yan crossed the lake and saw a steep cliff. The side of the cliff closer to the lake was very smooth, with occasional crystal drops of water dripping from it.

'Dingda!' 'Dingda!'

The falling of these water drops is as clear as the sound of a piano and as refreshing as a mountain spring.

Luo Yan moved closer, picked up a drop of water, sensed it carefully for a moment, and then his pupils widened instantly.

"Soul fragment!"

Luo Yan was shocked and exclaimed that it was impossible!

Soul fragments, remnants of souls from previous lives, and soul creatures are fine, but now even water droplets filled with soul power have appeared?
how can that be!

It's really amazing!
And, judging from the steep cliff and the lake at its feet, there must have been a waterfall here once upon a time.

Judging from the smooth surface of this cliff, the waterfall is at least a thousand feet long!

If this is true.
"goo"

Luo Yan's Adam's apple bulged, and he was so shocked by his own guess that he could hardly speak.

The soul power of an entire lake!

This is not hell, where does so much spiritual power come from?
Even without thinking too much, you can guess that there is something complicated going on here, and it must involve real ancient secrets.

And it's a ground-shattering kind.

"Da!" "Da!" "Boom!"

The sound of dripping water continued, accompanied by occasional thunder. Luo Yan became curious and looked towards the top of the valley.

"There."

Luo Yan turned into a rainbow light and flew up.

The thunder became increasingly harsh, almost exploding right next to his ears, causing his ears to ache at any moment.

‘Wow! ’

The top of the valley is also bare, but there is a pool about ten feet square with an opening at the bottom, and the dripping water falls from here.

The pool was empty, with only a shallow layer of almost translucent water droplets.

And around the pool, there are some extremely mysterious lightning patterns, which gather here, as if it is a lightning array!

It appears and disappears, sometimes rising and sometimes falling, and sometimes disappearing. It is very illusory.
