Chapter 1201 - 1226: Death Lake

After roughly half an hour, the Golden Demon Vulture opened his eyes. He felt slightly uncomfortable seeing everyone looking at him. "Boss, why are you all staring at me? Is there something on my face? Or has something happened?"

"Old Jin, how has your power development been? You are now the King of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan; the responsibility on your shoulders is heavy." Chu Linfeng laughed.

"Greetings, great King!" At this moment, four Golden-Winged Rocs knelt before the Golden Demon Vulture, leaving him utterly puzzled.

"Get up quickly. What’s going on here? When did I become your King? This change is just too fast!" the Golden Demon Vulture asked surprisedly.

"This was the command from the former King. From now on, you are the true King of our Golden-Winged Roc Clan. Reviving the clan depends on you; your innate bloodline is mightier than ours, only you can make our clan grow stronger." A middle-aged man spoke.

"Boss, I feel like my power is nearing the Late Stage of the Immortal Emperor. The energy within hasn’t been fully absorbed yet, but I’ve hit a bottleneck and can’t absorb anymore. After breaking through, it should be the Late Stage of Immortal Emperor. The pace of energy enhancement is so rapid that I feel a bit uneasy." the Golden Demon Vulture said.

"You sly fox are definitely benefiting from the bargain here. Such an enormous opportunity has come your way; you should be happy about it. Come on, let’s go check out the territory of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan. Some places were destroyed in the last battle; hopefully, none of your kin got hurt." Chu Linfeng said.

Immediately, everyone flew into the skies, led by the Golden-Winged Roc Clan who flew ahead. They didn’t fly fast, taking almost half an hour to reach a base.

Chu Linfeng roughly glanced at the base which was around tens of thousands of square meters constructed. There were many houses built with wood, among which one house had three layers; that should be the dwelling of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

"How many members do you have in your Golden-Winged Roc Clan?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Not many, counting those born, there are over seventy people. A few died recently, so there are just over sixty people now. However, with the arrival of the new King, there’s hope for the rejuvenation of our Golden-Winged Roc Clan." the middle-aged man said.

"Rest assured, with Old Jin around, the Golden-Winged Roc Clan will surely become strong. But for now, you must temporarily endure for a while. Once the Immortal Beast battle is over, I will break the barrier of Sky-Spirit Valley for you, letting you freely enter and exit the Immortal Realm.

At the same time, I will announce to the world that no one dares to bully you. Although the Golden-Winged Roc Clan is extremely powerful and noble, its numbers are too few. You need to produce a large number of offspring, which is your current primary task." Chu Linfeng said.

Upon hearing these words, a female next to him blushed, looked at Chu Linfeng helplessly, she being a girl, felt he was not tactful. Usually, she would have been angry if it was anyone else, but Chu Linfeng she could only endure it.

"Palace Master may not know; it’s tough for us Golden-Winged Rocs to reproduce in Sky-Spirit Valley for reasons unknown. Every time, hundreds of immortal eggs are incubated.

Incubation requires thousands of years to crack, yet often all one hundred immortal pills die without one successfully incubating, as though cursed, to the extent that everyone stopped wanting to reproduce.

Normally, our Golden-Winged Roc Clan reproduction should only take fifty years, but here it needs a millennium. Over tens of thousands of years, only three Golden-Winged Rocs have been born, the probability is extremely low.

Many among us believe there’s an issue with Sky-Spirit Valley and wish to leave, but numerous restrictions trap us here. Although unwilling, there’s no solution. With the Palace Master and King present, we believe the predicament will soon be resolved." the middle-aged man said.

"Indeed, I’ll deal with your predicament but not now. You should rest and rejuvenate here; I’ll ensure you’re satisfied. For now, we must go to another place and won’t linger. Await our news." Chu Linfeng said.

"Will the King leave with you?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Of course, the affairs of the Golden-Winged Roc Clan are entrusted to you. If you encounter difficulties or need anything, seek help from the Dragon Race; I believe the Dragon Race will offer full assistance." Chu Linfeng said.

After a grateful glance at Chu Linfeng, the Golden Demon Vulture walked beside him, "Boss, let’s depart promptly. You’ve been away from the Emperor’s Palace for a while and should return soon, we can’t delay further."

The Golden Demon Vulture made sense; indeed, he couldn’t delay here any longer, otherwise who knows how much time would be delayed with this Golden-Winged Roc matter.

"In that case, let’s leave early and return early!" Chu Linfeng said.

Then, the three left the Golden-Winged Roc’s territory headed for the peculiar lake, though the Roc’s members repeatedly urged them to stay, they refused.

After flying for a day and night, they eventually arrived at the destination. "Palace Master, this lake ahead is the place I mentioned. Originally, I discover it unintentionally flying over, do we go down and check it out now?"

Chu Linfeng took a glance at the lake, realizing it wasn’t too large, but a layer of light mist hovered above its water surface. This mist contained several specialized elements, with the Dark Element, Wind Element, and Water Element being the most concentrated. Evidently, the lake bed is not simple.

"You both need not dive down; the lake bed must be exceedingly dangerous; I’ll go alone. You wait here on the shore!" Chu Linfeng said.

Without waiting for the pair’s agreement, he swiftly used Water Transformation and descended into the lake within breaths reaching the bottom.

Chu Linfeng examined the surroundings carefully, finding much pressure at the lake bottom, akin to entering a strong party’s space domain. Its pressure rivaled the mid-stage Immortal Emperor’s exerted space domain pressure.

"Jade, can you detect where the soul medicine is? The lake bottom feels neither large nor occupied by fish. It seems a Death Lake, absent of life aura." Chu Linfeng asked.

"Master, this lake indeed carries oddity; the Dark Element below is extremely dense, strangely so. The soul medicine, I haven’t detected either; the lake bottom appears devoid of vegetation, yet the Golden Dragon King asserts there is soul medicine, it must be correct.

We merely need to wait for the Undercurrent he mentioned to emerge; maybe the soul medicine lies in it." Jade Immortal Emperor voiced.

Just after these words, Chu Linfeng felt a massive energy fluctuation, followed by a black Undercurrent appearing tens of meters away. This emergence sure came in handy, Chu Linfeng wasted no time, inhaled a breath, and dove right into it, paying no mind to potential danger...
