I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 452 Discovery! The treasure is revealed!
"Meow……"

Fa Cai shook his head and called out softly.

Chen Yan, who understood Fa Cai's intention, looked at Fa Cai with great surprise and said with some astonishment:

"Are you saying that these evil spirits have no effect on you?"

"Meow."

Fa Cai squatted on Chen Yan’s shoulder and nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Yan was shocked.

You know, even he was almost corroded and became uneasy when he entered this evil lake.

It was because he put all his strength into practicing the "Thunder Jade Sutra" and even used the help of the Book of Merit to stabilize his mind. Only in this way could Chen Yan's spirit not be lost and his soul not be eroded by these evil spirits, thus preventing him from becoming a machine that only knew how to kill.

Chen Yan originally thought that Fa Cai, who was weaker in strength, might not be able to resist the overwhelming evil spirit. Therefore, when he went down to the evil spirit lake, Chen Yan deliberately devoted more of his mind and magic power to help Fa Cai shield himself from the attacks of the evil spirit.

Worried that Fa Cai would not be able to resist, he took the initiative to ask Fa Cai if he wanted to stay in the Dishashu Hutian for a while.

But Chen Yan never expected that Fa Cai's answer was far beyond Chen Yan's expectations. Facing this overwhelming evil attack that even a master in the late Yang Shen stage would be frightened by, Fa Cai, who was only in the Yin Shen stage, did not feel anything.

Chen Yan's pupils were shocked, but besides being shocked, there was also a hint of doubt and thought.

He was wondering why getting rich would not be affected by these evil spirits.

Is it because Fa Cai possesses the bloodline of the ancient vicious beast Qiongqi?

The ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi is the embodiment of killing and evil spirit, so creatures with Qiongqi's bloodline will not be disturbed by these evil spirits?

But Chen Yan always felt that it was not that simple.

He had another guess in his mind.

The reason is very simple, the source of the evil energy in this secret place.

There is no doubt that they all came from the powerful adult beast Qiongqi, who is suspected to be an existence beyond immortals.

It is said that in ancient times, there were realms above the immortals, and this adult ancient ferocious beast, Qiongqi, was undoubtedly an existence above the immortals.

Therefore, in Yun Zhongzi's memory, he felt a deep fear and saw countless immortals who intended to hunt down the adult ferocious beast Qiongqi, but were killed one after another by the adult ferocious beast Qiongqi.

After the death of the adult ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi above this immortal, the ferocious beast aura it transformed into spread to the entire ancient battlefield.

As the secret realm of evil where the adult ancient beast Qiongqi died, the evil aura it is filled with is naturally the most vicious among all the fragments of the continent.

The lake in front of us was formed entirely by evil energy, which obviously came from the adult ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi.

But what puzzled Chen Yan was that this place was obviously not the place where the adult ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi died, but why was there such a dense evil spirit that almost turned into a tangible lake?

And the reason why Fa Cai didn't feel anything was, could it be because Fa Cai had some connection with the dead ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi, or even was the descendant of the adult ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi, and therefore was not eroded by the overwhelming evil spirit?
Chen Yan didn't know.

But Chen Yan guessed in his heart that this was most likely the truth.

As to whether it is really as Chen Yan guessed, he can only find out after he actually goes to the place where the adult ancient beast Qiongqi died and sees its corpse.

Before this.

Chen Yan needed to take a look at what the "treasure" that the dragon girl Ao Shuang mentioned was in this evil lake.
"Are you familiar with this place?"

Chen Yan suddenly turned around and asked Fa Cai on his shoulder.

Fa Cai looked confused. He nodded hesitantly at first, then shook his head.

Chen Yan frowned slightly, and then asked:

"Do you hear a voice calling you from here?"

This time, Fa Cai did not hesitate any more, but shook his head decisively.

Chen Yan nodded slightly without commenting. It seemed that this was not the place where the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi died.

Although it is not the actual death place of the adult ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi, the formation of this lake of evil energy so dense that it is actually there must be some connection between it and the adult ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi.

With this thought in mind, Chen Yan turned his attention back to the evil lake itself.

"Om-"

As soon as he entered the lake, Chen Yan's blood and energy became like a furnace, and his internal energy exploded, cleansing away all the evil spirits.

The evil lake water that corroded the flesh was like encountering the toughest bone to chew, and it couldn't do anything to Chen Yan at all.

As Chen Yan possessed the Vajra Indestructible Fruit, his body was not afraid of the erosion of the evil lake water at all.

As for the soul, there is no need to mention it.

With the Book of Merit in hand, Chen Yan doesn't have to worry about his soul being affected.

Soon, Chen Yan successfully reached the bottom of the Sha Lake.

The aura of death was extremely dense, and no living life was visible. Even Chen Yan felt quite uncomfortable.

This is simply the living beings' disgust for death.

"It's a good place to hone your body..."

Chen Yan thought to himself.

This powerful and rich evil spirit washed over his body all the time, and even Chen Yan could feel his body becoming increasingly stronger.

However, Ye Jin had no time to practice, but instead released his spiritual consciousness to explore the bottom of the lake, searching for the "treasure" that the dragon girl Ao Shuang mentioned.

A quarter of an hour later.

Chen Yan stood there with a frown. His spiritual sense had explored almost the entire bottom of the lake, but he didn't find anything unusual, let alone treasures.

"Could it be that Ao Shuang sensed it wrongly?"

Chen Yanjin shook his head and rejected the idea.

Although he had never seen Ao Shuang before, today was the first time he met Ao Shuang, but after seeing Ao Shuang, he understood that this dragon girl was not simple.

Moreover, given his status, there is no reason for him to spread this useless lie to deceive everyone.

That only means that the opportunity at the bottom of this evil lake is hidden very deep and cannot be detected by ordinary spiritual consciousness.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan's heart moved. He closed his breath and eyes, and a strange rhythm emanated from his body, like layers of invisible air waves rippling around him.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly opened, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes:
"found it!"

He took a step forward and came to the center of the bottom of the evil lake.

This place looks ordinary, with a rough and uneven surface, and even a few irregular stones scattered around.

however.

This seemingly ordinary place is actually the source of the evil lake here!

As for why Chen Yan found this place.

Naturally, it was because Ye Jin used the Disha technique to divine. [Shefu]: The principle of the Eight Trigrams in the Book of Changes is that names and objects are based on images and numbers, and images and numbers are based on principles, which is divination and interpretation.

This earthly magic was exchanged by Chen Yan and 'Demon Slayer' before coming to the ancient immortal gate ruins.

At that time, Chen Yan acquired this Earthly Evil Technique in order to enhance his sixth sense, so that he could react faster before a crisis came, and at the same time see if he could find some clues related to the God of Fortune.

But I don’t want to use it here today.

In fact, with Chen Yan's barely accomplished Disha magic 'Shefu', it was impossible for Chen Yan to calculate where the real treasure was.

Perhaps the master of "shooting the cover" could barely do it, but Chen Yan, after mastering the basics of "shooting the cover", logically speaking, could not calculate the location of the treasure.

But why did Chen Yan find it anyway?
the reason is simple.

He did not calculate the location of the treasure.

Instead, the source of this evil lake is deduced based on the principle of "shooting the cover".

Such a large evil lake must have a source, right?

Chen Yan’s idea is also very simple.

Since he couldn't find the location of the evil lake and didn't know what the so-called treasure was, he simply used divination to calculate the source of the evil lake.

Since there is a treasure or opportunity, it is most likely at the source of this evil lake.

As to whether it is really as Chen Yan guessed.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Looking up at the featureless ground, Chen Yan took a step forward.

All of a sudden.

Powerful magical power rose from Chen Yan's body.

Chen Yan didn't know whether there was a formation at the source of the evil lake, and even if there was, he had no way to do anything.

Because he was not good at formations, but this did not stump Chen Yan.

If there is a formation, just destroy it with brute force.

No matter how concealed the formation is, as long as the formation plate is destroyed, it will be exposed.

With such thoughts in mind, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly focused and he said in a low voice:
"break!"

The next second, he raised his foot and stepped down hard!

Daoguo·Vajra Indestructible and Daoguo·Dharma Throwing the Whale are activated at the same time!
The two superior Dao fruits exerted their power at the same time, and the power of Chen Yan's step was already enormous!

"boom--"

Like a thunder explosion, a tremendous force quickly spread out from the center of Chen Yan's feet.

The huge force disturbed the peaceful Sha Lake.

A golden light flashed, and dirt and rocks flew everywhere. Under the tremendous force generated by the two Dao Fruits, a hole with a diameter of more than several meters suddenly appeared in the center of the flat lake bottom.

And in the center of the hole, a strong evil spirit gushed out like a spring!

Such a big commotion naturally could not be hidden from Master Hongye, Master Fahua, Master Bikong, Ao Shuang and the other sea creatures on the shore of Sha Lake.

Almost at the moment when the loud bang exploded, the faces of the people on the shore of the evil lake suddenly changed.

Everyone present was not a fool. The sudden loud noise must be that Chen Yan had discovered a secret in the evil lake!
As soon as the sea cultivators, led by the royal family of the sea clan, made any unusual movements, True Lord Hongye, Master Fahua, True Lord Bikong, Ao Shuang and others blocked their way.

Looking at the four people including Master Hongye and Master Fahua who were blocking their way, the faces of the sea cultivators, led by the royal family of the sea clan, immediately turned gloomy.

The sea clan royal who was at the eighth level of Yang God narrowed his eyes. The sea clan royal who was at the sixth level of Yang God understood what he meant and took a step forward. With a gloomy face, he questioned Master Hongye and Master Fahua opposite him:
"What do you mean!"

Before Master Hongye could speak, Master Jiujian on the side curled his lips and said disdainfully:
"What do you mean? That's it! Want to go down? No way!"

The sixth-level Yangshen of the Sea Clan glanced at Master Jiujian with a cold gaze, but did not waste words arguing with him. Instead, he continued to look at Master Hongye and Master Fahua opposite him and said:
"Anyone can obtain an ownerless treasure, but it depends on their own means. Are you doing this to start a war with my sea clan?"

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the sixth-level Yang God of the sea clan, and his tone revealed an undisguised threat.

"Tsk! This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life!"

Hearing this, the hot-tempered Jiujian Zhenjun couldn't bear it anymore. With an undisguised sneer on his face, he sneered contemptuously:
"Why didn't you guys 'do your own thing' when you went into the water just now?"

"Oh, now that Fellow Daoist Chen has found the treasure, you guys jumped out at this time?"

"Where in the world is there such a good thing?!"

Master Jiujian's merciless ridicule made the faces of the cultivators from the Sea Clan turn completely black, especially the sixth level Yangshen cultivator from the Sea Clan who already had a grudge against Chen Yan, whose face was even blacker than the bottom of a pot.

They wanted to take action, but they knew that the real power to decide lies with the royal family of the sea clan, so they all looked over and waited for the order from the royal family of the sea clan.

"Amitabha, all donors, please listen to me."

Master Fahua, who also understood this, took a step forward, temporarily stopping the tension between the two sides. He looked at the sea clan royal family with his deep-set old eyes and said:

"Donor Cha, we have an agreement. No matter who finds the treasure first, the other party must not act rashly. Please keep your promise. Otherwise, even if we die in battle, we will not retreat. Donor Cha, you don't want to break your promise because of an unknown thing, right?"

The royal family of the sea clan did not speak, but narrowed their eyes and swept across the faces of the four people including Master Hongye and Master Fahua in front of them, especially lingering on the dragon girl Ao Shuang for two seconds.

Finally, the royal family of the sea clan spoke calmly:
"Wait a second."

"Here!"

Even though they were unwilling, since the royal family of the sea clan had spoken, the sea clan cultivators such as the sixth level Yangshen had no choice but to obey.

Naturally, Chen Yan knew nothing about what happened on the shore of Sha Lake.

Even though he knew that the movement at the bottom of the lake could not be concealed, Chen Yan was helpless and could not stop it.

The only thing he could do was to seize the opportunity in this evil lake before others came down.

But to be honest, apart from the royal family of the sea clan and the dragon girl Ao Shuang, I'm afraid no one else can go down to the bottom of the lake.

With this thought, Chen Yanjin relaxed a little and focused his attention back on the hole in the middle of the lake bottom that he had stepped on. At this moment, a large amount of evil spirit was gushing out like a spring.

And in the center of this hole, the evil spirit that was so thick that it seemed to be tangible even formed a slowly swirling vortex.

"Could the treasure or opportunity be in this vortex of evil energy?"

As his thoughts turned, Chen Yan moved.

The next second, he appeared above the hole, and under his feet, a vortex of evil energy was slowly rotating.

Chen Yan was not in a hurry to go in, because Chen Yanjin didn't know whether there would be any danger in there.

He did not forget that this was the most dangerous secret place in the ancient battlefield. Just from the monstrous evil spirit, it was not difficult to guess that it must be full of dangers.

In situations like these, it is never too much to be cautious.
