Chapter 817 - 335: Treasure Hunt at the Bottom of the Pool

"In these three places, there are some treasures, but anything easily obtainable has long been snatched by those before us."

The voice of the giant turtle echoed over.

"Sumeru Mountain was previously used by the Void Sect for disciple trials. Going there is basically just collecting some items left behind by the sect’s cultivators.

The Void Hall was where the Void Sect stored treasures before its downfall. Though there’s not much left in the outer hall, the inner hall might still hold some things.

However, entering the inner hall doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go through the outer hall; you can also pass through some restrictions using the other two paths.

Even entering through the outer hall of the Void Hall requires passing restrictions."

"And what about the Divine Spring Pool?"

Chu Ning, seeing that the giant turtle spoke slowly, couldn’t help but directly ask.

"This place was used in the past to transplant various spirit medicines and spirit fruits."

As soon as the giant turtle said this, Chu Ning’s eyes lit up instantly.

However, the giant turtle continued speaking immediately after.

"But, over the tens of thousands of years, many spirit medicines have either been harvested by others before or have long since matured and fallen."

After a pause, the giant turtle continued:

"That place was also where I stayed before. There’s a piece of turtle shell I shed during my promotion that might be useful to you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning set off for the Divine Spring Pool without another word.

"Hmm, I haven’t finished speaking yet."

The giant turtle suddenly spoke again, causing Chu Ning to halt his steps.

Chu Ning found himself both amused and exasperated.

"Elder Turtle, you should finish speaking all at once. I only have fifteen minutes; if I’m any later, those behind me will catch up."

The giant turtle was not the least bit hurried.

"Don’t worry, there are many restrictions in here. Even if they catch up, it’s slow.

With this little girl, you can ignore ordinary array restrictions, which makes you much faster than they are."

Upon hearing this, both Chu Ning and Bai Ling were slightly taken aback.

Bai Ling had never demonstrated her ability to ignore restrictions after being with the giant turtle.

Now that the giant turtle casually revealed it, there was only one possibility: the turtle knew Bai Ling’s origins.

Chu Ning, though curious, knew it wasn’t the time for questions now.

It was better to ask outside the Void Abyss, and moreover, he was still waiting for the giant turtle to finish speaking.

"My intention is to have you leave through the Divine Dragon Pool and help me retrieve something along the way. That’s it, I’ve finished."

Chu Ning listened quietly, his mouth twitching slightly.

Saying no more, he continued his flight forward.

Sure enough, just as the giant turtle said, before they had even flown a thousand feet, they encountered the first layer of restriction.

Just as Chu Ning stood before the restriction, Bai Ling spoke up first:

"Master, after breaking through to Tier Five, using this divine secret technique has almost no limitations.

If I run out of demon power, you can just give me a drop of Thousand-Year Spirit Milk.

To save time, let me take you through directly."

"Alright!" Chu Ning naturally agreed since he had intended as much.

A white halo appeared on Bai Ling’s forehead, enveloping Chu Ning.

In the next moment, they broke through the restriction, arriving in the midst of a garden.

This place was evidently laid out as a Spirit Medicine Garden.

Yet, as the giant turtle said, it was completely empty, with nothing remaining.

Continuing on through nine layers of restrictions.

Chu Ning finally arrived at the edge of a gigantic pool.

"Hmm, Elder Turtle, could this be where you previously resided?"

Feeling the extraordinarily abundant spiritual qi here, and noticing some scattered exotic flowers and fruits untouched by harvest on the inner side of the pool,

Chu Ning asked immediately.

"The young one guesses correctly."

The giant turtle’s voice resonated now.

"Indeed, in the past, many cultivators were able to overcome various restrictions and appear in this Divine Spring Pool.

But I, the old turtle, wasn’t fond of them and scared most of the cultivators away.

Even the Hall Master of Changkong Hall came here three hundred years ago, and at that time, I wasn’t willing to act, allowing him to take some good items.

Otherwise, he might not have left the Divine Spring Pool alive three hundred years ago."

Chu Ning pondered the giant turtle’s words quickly.

Lu Xuedao from Changkong Hall was of Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation. Given the giant turtle’s tone, it meant the turtle was at least a Tier Ten Demon Beast.

"If you fancy those things on the other side, go pick them first, then enter the pool!"

The giant turtle spoke again, and Chu Ning hesitated slightly after hearing it.

According to the markings on the Jade Scroll, the Divine Spring Pool could be extremely dangerous.

Daring to fly over without a second thought and venturing deep into the pool.

It’s not that he didn’t trust the giant turtle’s words, but as a matter of caution, he should first clarify.

"Elder Turtle, the Divine Spring Pool shows extreme danger on the map..."

"There’s danger." Before Chu Ning could finish, the giant turtle’s voice sounded.

"But isn’t that in your Beast Bag?"

"Pfft!" Hearing the giant turtle, before Chu Ning reacted, Bai Ling couldn’t help but laugh.

"Elder Turtle, you have a great sense of humor."

The turtle’s voice floated up leisurely again.

"Do you think any creature would dare approach the place where I, the old turtle, resided?

There are actually no more demon beasts in the Void Abyss. The dangers come entirely from various restrictions.

You just haven’t triggered them thanks to this little girl’s talent.

Otherwise, do you really think reaching this Divine Spring Pool is that easy?"

Listening to this, Chu Ning nodded slightly, acknowledging the turtle’s reasoning.

Indeed, he had leveraged the divine techniques of both Bai Ling and the giant turtle, two Celestial and Earthly Spirit Beasts.
