However, what these people were unaware of was that several figures had silently appeared in the Spirit Pool before quickly vanishing, heading towards the depths of the pool!

Ye Luo suddenly opened his eyes, gazing into the distance with a puzzled expression.

Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be able to sense the arrival of those old fellows, especially given the vast difference in cultivation between Ye Luo and the Ancestors.

Yet, he could feel it clearly!

Why is this?

Then a thought struck him! Soul Sacrifice! Since he was chosen as the Soul Sacrifice, there must be some special abilities associated.

After all, the Spirit Pool is ultimately controlled by the Sect Master. Even if she may not fully understand the situation inside, granting Ye Luo some privileges is indeed possible.

So, where are these Ancestors heading?

Oh yes, the Essence of the Spirit Pool! Rumor has it that the Essence lies deep within the pool. While the outskirts are suitable for cultivation, the depths are fraught with danger.

Even the Sect Master dares not enter easily.

This claim might seem absurd, given that the Spirit Pool itself is under her control. How could there be places she cannot reach!

In truth, once one understands the real state of the Spirit Pool, everything makes sense!

More accurately, the Essence is not within the Spirit Pool!

Instead, it leads to another space, with the Spirit Pool merely serving as an entrance!

Or you could say, within the Abyssal Clan, many Spirit Pools can lead here, which is why the essence is not actually within the pool.

In order to avoid risk, sects everywhere warn disciples never to wander recklessly, only to cultivate at the periphery, never venturing into the pool’s depths, precisely for this reason.

After all, it’s a relic of the Abyssal race. Who knows what might happen inside?

Moreover, although the essence is precious, it isn’t worth risking lives for.

However, this essence is invaluable to the Ancestors!

No one knows how many years the Ancestors have lingered in the Sixth Region without any progress, unable to venture elsewhere due to various reasons. Thus, longevity becomes their primary concern.

The essence of the Spirit Pool can extend longevity and even raise a cultivator’s realm, making it incredibly alluring for the Ancestors.

It’s fair to say this essence holds more life force than Ye Luo’s Fruit of Life.

Ye Luo contemplated for a moment, then slowly rose.

Since he had come to the Spirit Pool and become the Soul Sacrifice, he was bound to seize more benefits!

Therefore, the essence of the Spirit Pool was something he was determined to obtain!

"Master?" Nuonuo called uncertainly.

She knew Ye Luo was about to act, but she also understood her own cultivation level. Following Ye Luo might actually hinder him.

"I told you, the Spirit Pool is immensely treacherous; you must stay by my side, and I shall deliver you a stroke of fortune!"

Nuonuo obediently got up and followed Ye Luo. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

But the other disciples lacked such courage.

Firstly, Ye Luo’s speed was too fast for them to keep up.

Secondly, being disciples of the Zi Wei Sect, they were somewhat knowledgeable about the Spirit Pool, having been warned against venturing into its depths!

Ye Luo pressed forward, holding Nuonuo’s hand, speeding toward the horizon.

The size of the Spirit Pool exceeded Ye Luo’s expectations. He knew it was linked to another space, only making it more intriguing to him.

He was aware that the essence lay ahead, yet he grew cautious, knowing that the Ancestors were there, capable of annihilating him in an instant.

Nonetheless, he was the Sect Master’s chosen Soul Sacrifice. If killed so easily, it would undoubtedly drive her crazy!

Therefore, he didn’t worry much; being cautious was enough. Soon, he saw a massive furnace ahead, emitting wisps of steam.

This was the heart of the Spirit Pool, where the essence resided.

Several figures stood around, naturally the Ancestors.

But one figure made Ye Luo tremble and shiver—it was Ziweixianzi!

He didn’t know when she had left him and reached the pool’s center.

As if sensing something, she suddenly turned her head and smiled at him, giving a nod.

Ye Luo furrowed his brow. She appeared so suddenly, and the Ancestors seemed unbothered!

It implies one thing: the Ancestors were aware of her presence! This could make sense—she was once the number one in the Sixth Region.

Ye Luo didn’t approach, respecting the elders; he knew it might anger an Ancestor who could kill him.

And Ziweixianzi was no longer the top in the Martial Realm, her cultivation having plummeted, even inferior to the Ancestors, unable to protect Ye Luo.

Meanwhile, the Ancestors naturally noticed Ye Luo’s arrival, but no one paid attention.

All their eyes focused on the Spirit Pool.

The steam from the furnace increased. Previously, he’d heard the furnace opened irregularly, during which one could extract the essence—though rife with danger.

If driven by greed and trapped within the furnace, death would be the only outcome!

Suddenly, Ye Luo felt an inkling—the furnace was about to open. It was a perfect feeling.

Perhaps because he was the Soul Sacrifice, he vaguely sensed the approximate opening time!

A benefit accorded to him!

"Remember to extract the essence, but don’t be greedy, understood?" Ye Luo instructed Nuonuo.

He believed the Ancestors wouldn’t bother him during the essence collection; time was limited, and their main focus was the essence.

"Wow, it’s the Essence of the Spirit Pool, Ye Luo, I must go in, you must let me in!" Fire Turkey suddenly cried out from the base.

"And me, I want to go in too!" Skysoar Beast shouted.

Ye Luo then realized the essence was even more potent for Spirit Beasts!

"Do you truly wish to?" Ye Luo smiled.

"Of course, if you don’t let me in, I’ll rebel!" Fire Turkey threatened angrily.

Ye Luo felt at a loss; he intended to negotiate with Fire Turkey, but he was unexpectedly threatened.
