Chapter 1180 - 1054: The Demonic Shadow in the Ancient Well (Part 2)

They knew that their cultivation was now restricted to the Ninth Level Martial Emperor, and their spiritual power was also limited to this realm.Using the spiritual power of the Ninth Level Martial Emperor to investigate the ancient well ahead, they naturally couldn't perceive the subtle energy fluctuations inside.

However, Senior Xuan was different. Although he was also limited to the Ninth Level Martial Emperor, he had many treasures on him, allowing him to expand his spiritual power with their help, enabling him to detect some energy fluctuations that neither Duan Gujin nor Shi Potian could sense.

"Can you draw some water up?"

Duan Gujin tentatively asked.

"No, I found that anything entering this ancient well is completely corroded!"

The Wushan Clan Chief replied seriously.

"How is that possible? Do you mind if I try using some things?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"No problem, feel free to try! I don't mind! We discovered this ancient well can only receive corpses; anything else put inside gets completely corroded!"

The Wushan Clan Chief said calmly.

Duan Gujin let out a breath, then pulled a rope from his storage ring and tied an elixir medicine bottle to it.

Next, he lowered the elixir medicine bottle down.

He widened his eyes, watching the elixir medicine bottle closely.

As the bottle touched the water's surface in the ancient well, the next moment, he saw the bottom of the bottle being corroded away.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh heavens! Is the bottom of the well just full of unbelievably corrosive liquid?"

His eyes flickered.

For him, if the bottom was just full of highly corrosive liquid, there would be no fear.

All he needed to do was operate his cultivation technique to resist the highly corrosive liquid.

But he feared that the water at the well's bottom might prevent him from operating his technique; he feared that upon entering the well, the liquid might stop him from running any primordial power.

Then his body would be corroded by the liquid, leaving him a pile of white bones, which was certainly not a result he wanted to witness.

He moved his mind and pulled the elixir bottle back up.

He carefully inspected the bottle with the corroded bottom, finally reaching a conclusion.

"The liquid at the bottom of this ancient well is very corrosive!"

Senior Xuan also checked for a while, then asked: "Wushan Clan Chief, I ask you, would this ancient well get any shallower?"

"No!"

The Wushan Clan Chief pondered for a while, shaking his head to answer.

"Have you noticed if the liquid of the ancient well rises out of the well?"

Senior Xuan continued to ask.

"No, I noticed before that the liquid in this well always seems to stay at the top of the seventh green stone. You can count it, its water level always stays at the top of the seventh green stone!"

The Wushan Clan Chief said earnestly.

"Right, right!"

Duan Gujin and others seriously checked the water level of the ancient well and found it was indeed as the Wushan Clan Chief said, at the top of the seventh green stone.

They examined the walls of the ancient well and found them very smooth, but capable of allowing a person to go down and investigate.

"I have a very special treasure, a heavy treasure from the Immortal Domain. However, this treasure is in the form of a square bottle, and I need one of the two of you to go down and bring a cup of water up. Who's willing?"

Senior Xuan asked.

"I'm willing!"

Duan Gujin happily agreed; to him, it was a trivial matter.

"Alright!"

Senior Xuan quickly pulled a rope from his storage ring, tied it around Duan Gujin's waist, and then handed him the square bottle.

Once it was ensured the rope was secure, he and Shi Potian began slowly lowering Duan Gujin down.

As Duan Gujin approached the well's water, he shouted to stop.

When the rope stopped and he was no longer being lowered, he used the bottle to scoop up water.

While scooping the water, he noticed a vague figure at the bottom of the well.

"What's that?"

His brows furrowed as he carefully observed to confirm he wasn't mistaken, seeing a vague figure beneath the well.

"Duan Gujin, why are you silent? Did something happen?"

Above, Shi Potian saw no movement from Duan Gujin and got worried about his safety.

"I'm fine, I just seemed to have seen a figure beneath the well!"

Duan Gujin replied.

"Really? There's really a figure below?"

Shi Potian felt this inconceivable.

"Wait, you can come down and see for yourself! Pull me up quickly!"

Then, Duan Gujin felt the rope around his waist steadily pulling him up.

He was in a good mood until he suddenly and fearfully noticed the figure below the well looking up at him.

This sight nearly scared Duan Gujin out of his wits.

Fortunately, he was prepared and managed to keep hold of the bottle instead of dropping it.

His mind was clear, preparing his left hand for combat just in case.

He prayed inwardly, hoping the eerie figure below wouldn't suddenly attack him.

Luckily, Shi Potian and Senior Xuan were steadily pulling him up.

In less than ten seconds, he was pulled back up.

"I saw a figure below! Though I couldn't discern what it was, I felt it had the silhouette of the Human Clan!"

Duan Gujin said with shock.

"You saw the figure below? Oh, it's alright. Let me explain; there is a figure below this ancient well. We couldn't ascertain what it was; I didn't tell you because the figure always remains still, and I assumed it might just be a statue! So, I didn't mention the figure earlier! Sorry!"

At this moment, the Wushan Clan Chief explained.

"While I was preparing to leave, I noticed the figure seemed to stand; it can't be a statue!"

Duan Gujin retorted.

"Impossible! You said the figure stood? That can't be true. Just like you did earlier, I got close to the well to take a serious look below. I assure you, that figure never moves; it always remains motionless down there!"

The Wushan Clan Chief said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin's face changed drastically: "Wushan Clan Chief, I really saw the figure seem to stand from below. I am sure I wasn't mistaken!"

Beside them, Shi Potian and Senior Xuan quickly said: "Both of you, stop arguing. We want to go down to take a closer look!"

"Right, right, that's for the best!"

Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes flashing, suddenly considering a problem.

The Wushan Clan Chief and his clansmen were restricted, but he, Shi Potian, and the others were not.

The Wushan Clan Chief and his clansmen couldn't leave the Secret Realm or the Nine Phase World, nor enter the Lighthouse, but the three of them could freely come and go from the Nine Phase World, and also enter the Lighthouse.

This was the main difference between them and the Wushan Clan Chief and his clansmen.

Perhaps due to the restrictions, the Wushan Clan Chief and his clansmen were unable to sense that the figure below could stand up.

But the three of them could see it.

This time, it was Duan Gujin and Senior Xuan's turn to hold the rope, as they let Shi Potian gradually lower himself down.

After a while, Shi Potian said: "I see it, there seems to really be a figure below, that figure! Wow! Wow!"

Suddenly, Shi Potian made a series of exclamatory sounds.

Hearing Shi Potian's voice, Duan Gujin and Senior Xuan immediately pulled him up.

Actually, even without them pulling, Shi Potian would have flown up using the rope.

Shi Potian flew up and immediately unwrapped the rope.

After calming down for a moment, he said: "I saw a figure attempting to attack me, but I dodged it! The figure below is alive!"
