Chapter 454: The Bottom of the Blood Pool!
Orunk of a rge tree, several kilometers away from Xiao Yi Xian’s group, a gray-robed elder with a somewhat lecherous appearance leaned casually.
Suddenly, a flicker of surprise crossed his face.
Then, in an aged voice, he muttered to himself, "What’s going on? The maze was destroyed so easily… Are the human taleering the mountain rahis time really that strong?"
In the moment, the gray-robed elder’s figure flickered as he leaped from the tree and darted toward the mist-covered forest ahead.
Meanwhile, oher side, after Xiao Yiroyed the maze, Xiao Yi Xian’s group passed through the massive gap it had left behind.
In this area, the density of the white mist was at least ten times greater than outside, but with the destru of the formation, the fog began dispersing outward.
As they walked cautiously through the thick fog, an eerie figure suddenly appeared about a hundred meters ahead.
Although Xiao Yin had suppressed part of her sehe aura of this figure was instantly detected by her.
“Someone’s here!” Xiao Yin stopped iracks, quietly alerting Xiao Yi Xian and the others behind her.
Hearing Xiao Yin’s warning, the rest of the group immediately halted.
“Who’s lurking here?”
The figure, having just nded a hundred meters away, robing the group with his soul power when a cold and anding voice rang out, startling him.
“To detect my arrival so quickly in this dense fog?” The lecherous elder’s eyes flickered with surprise.
He immediately formed several intricate seals, releasing peculiar waves of energy.
In respohe fog within several hundred meters instantly dissipated, clearing the area.
What y before him after the mist cleared left the elder utterly dumbfounded.
“Three young women, apanied by two adolests, have made it to the base of Tianmu Mountain?”
“One Dou Wang at the peak level, two mid-tier Dou Huangs, and two whose cultivation levels I ’t even dis?”
As the lecherous elder’s mind raced with questions, Xiao Yi Xian stared at him coldly and asked, “You must be one of the Gold-Dev Rat from the Tianmu Mountain Range, correct?”
Hearihe elder smirked and replied, “Since you’ve guessed my identity, I won’t deny it.
I am Jin Gu!”
After introdug himself, Jin Gu’s tone shifted into a sharp question.
“Was it you who destroyed the maze here?”
“Gold-Dev Rat shapeshifter!” Hahought in arm. She had long heard of this elder’s reputation and strength.
In the face of Jin Gu’s question, Xiao Yi Xian remained calm, tering with her own inquiry.
“Why? Is there some rule that says the maze must only be passed through and ot be destroyed ht?”
Hearing her casual admission, Jin Gu was inwardly shocked.
This maze wasn’t something that could easily be destroyed—it would pose a signifit challenge even for an average Dou Zong.
Could there be a hidden expert among these individuals?
With that thought, Jin Gu’s gaze locked onto Xiao Yi Xian.
His instincts told him she was the leader of the group.
However, no matter how much he scrutinized her, he couldn’t see through Xiao Yi Xian’s cultivation.
It was as if she exuded no aura at all.
This discovery caused Jin Gu to furrow his brow deeply, his expression turning grave.
“Are you here for the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool?”
Instead of answering Xiao Yi Xian’s question, Jin Gu posed one of his own.
Jin Gu didn’t respond to Xiao Yi Xian’s question, which made her somewhat annoyed. She immediately retorted with displeasure, “What kind of nonsense is that? Why else would we e to this godforsaken pce?”
“Let’s go, o pay attention to this lecherous old man!”
With that, Xiao Yi Xian ignored Jin Gu entirely. She grabbed the hands of Xiao Yin, Nan Yanran, and Han Yue, ahem in a certain dire.
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian’s rebuke, Jin Gu’s face darkened with anger, but he didn’t a it. Instead, after calg his move, he darted past Xiao Yi Xian’s group and rushed ahead.
…
After the maze was destroyed, the density of the white mist within it began to gradually decrease, no longer hindering Xiao Yi Xian and her group.
They walked cautiously for about half an hour, and the mist around them thinned further and further. Eventually, it no longer obscured their vision.
Before them now stood a t and majestic mountain. The group was at the base of the mountainside, where steep paths wound upward. Oher side of the paths, golden-furred giant rats scurried by from time to time.
“These are the Gold-Dev Rats. On Tianmu Mountain, they are the most numerous magical beasts,” Han Yue expined, pointing to the golden rats.
“Hmm, as long as they don’t attack us, we won’t trouble them,” Xiao Yi Xian said with a slight nod.
Hahen pointed further upward and tinued, “Senior Sister Xiao Yi Xian, half the mountain is the Heavenly Stoform. Beyond that are the checkpoints set by the Gold-Dev Rat . Acc to the agreements between the d other fas, only those who successfully pass these checkpoints are qualified to reach the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool at the summit.”

After hearing Han Yue’s expnation, Xiao Yi Xian reflected and said, “Rules are created by the strong to bind the weak. If we are strohan the rule-makers, we igheir rules…
Today, I will make sure all of you reach the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool.”
Hearing this, Han Yue and Nan Yanran were momentarily stuhen looked at Xiao Yi Xian with admiration.
Who wouldn’t like such a fident and powerful senior sister?
“Oh, I almost fot something!”
Suddenly, Han Yue spped her forehead as if remembering something, aedly turo Xiao Yi Xian. “Senior Sister Xiao Yi Xian, before I left, my master specifically told me something important!”
“Your master specifically mentio? Let’s hear it,” Xiao Yi Xian said, a hint of excitement fshing in her eyes.
Han Yue’s expression turned serious as she recalled Gu He’s words. “Master said to tell you all that when the energy tide iianmu Mountain Range reaches its peak, the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool is not the greatest treasure here!”
“The Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool isn’t the greatest treasure? Is there somethier iianmu Mountain Range?” Xiao Yi Xian’s i deepened.
Han Yue tinued, “Master said that during eaergy tide iianmu Mountain Range, most of the energy denses into the red liquid of the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool.
However, a small portion of the energy sinks to the bottom of the blood pool ales over time.
This energy, though scarce, is incredibly pure due to the accumution of tless years!”
“The bottom of the blood pool tains the purest energy… How does your master know all of this?” Xiao Yi Xian’s curiosity grew stronger.
