Chapter 201 Could the things that Master Li dispersed be ordinary?
Li Jun remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he closed his eyes.
Divine thoughts surged forth like a tide, reaching towards that oasis.
In an instant, the entire oasis was clearly imprinted in his mind.
Those broken mountain peaks.
Those twisted trees.
Those black lakes.
Those enormous skeletons.
Everything is crystal clear.
But what caught his attention most was not these things.
But...
The atmosphere of this oasis.
tyrannical.
Extremely tyrannical.
That brutality, as if it were a tangible reality, permeated every inch of space.
Even using only his divine sense to probe, Li Jun felt a strong emotion being stirred.
The urge to destroy.
The desire to kill.
A madness that destroys everything.
Those emotions surged in like a tidal wave, almost overwhelming him.
But only for a moment.
With a slight thought, Li Jun suppressed those emotions.
Like snow splashed in boiling water, it vanished without a trace.
He opened his eyes, a hint of seriousness flashing in them.
This oasis...
What exactly happened back then?
How can such a strong atmosphere of violence permeate the entire area?
Li Jun continued to probe with his divine sense.
His divine sense swept over those enormous skeletons.
Although the skeletons looked gruesome, upon closer inspection, he discovered...
There was no power left in those skeletons.
All that's left are empty shells.
He locked onto a skeleton, and a thought flashed through his mind.
With a gentle touch of divine thought.
The skeleton instantly turned to dust.
It fell softly.
Li Jun didn't pay any attention.
He continued his investigation.
His divine sense swept over the twisted trees.
Sweep across those black lakes.
Finally, it landed on those deep ravines.
Those ravines are the marks left by the battle.
Although countless years have passed, faint traces still remain in those places.
A malevolent aura.
An aura of slaughter.
There are also some even more bizarre forces.
Those forces, after so many years, still have remnants...
This clearly demonstrates the high level of the battle that took place here back then.
Li Jun then carefully examined the land surrounding those ravines.
Then, he discovered a strange phenomenon.
The land of this oasis is much thicker and more solid than the Gobi Desert outside.
That kind of weight and solidity cannot be seen with the naked eye.
However, when one probes with divine sense, one can clearly sense it.
Just like...
Just like this land, it has been reinforced by some force.
After thinking for a moment, Li Jun guessed that it was likely related to spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy can not only make cultivators stronger, but also nourish mountains and rivers.
In the mythical era, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was abundant, and the mountains and rivers were nourished by this energy, becoming even more solid.
And now...
The spiritual energy has only been restored for a few decades, and the land and mountains have not yet recovered to their former state.
Or rather, the earth's veins have not yet recovered.
That's why this oasis is so special.
Because it retains traces of the mythological era.
Those attacks that leave "scars" on the oasis would certainly cause even greater damage if they landed outside.
Even exponential growth.
As Li Jun pondered this, he continued his investigation.
The divine sense crossed those ravines and probed towards the center of the oasis.
Soon, a region of broken mountain peaks appeared ahead, those peaks being even more fragmented than those in other parts of the oasis.
Some collapsed entirely, turning into piles of rubble.
Some broke in the middle, with the upper part missing.
Some of them have surfaces covered with dense cracks, as if they might break at any moment.
Li Jun's divine sense probed towards that area.
then……
hum!
Divine thought was blocked.
It was like hitting a tough membrane.
The membrane was soft, yet incredibly resilient.
The divine sense struck it, but was gently deflected.
Li Jun was stunned for a moment.
He withdrew his divine sense, opened his eyes, and looked at that area.
The scene in that area was visible to the naked eye: broken mountain peaks, shattered rocks, and some faintly visible debris.
But divine thoughts cannot enter.
It's as if something is protecting that area.
It only blocks divine thoughts, not sight.
Li Jun frowned slightly.
He sensed it carefully again.
Then, he discovered...
The faint aura I had sensed earlier was located in this area.
It was in that even more fragmented mountain range.
Li Jun fell silent.
He looked at that area with a deep gaze.
Inside there...
What?
Why are you calling for him?
He thought about it and decided not to force a breakthrough.
With his strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to forcefully break through that barrier.
But it's unclear what unforeseen events might occur.
Let's wait until we get there and see for ourselves before making a decision.
Li Jun withdrew his gaze.
Just then, I heard President Qin's voice.
"Master Li?"
Li Jun looked at him.
When President Qin saw him open his eyes, he quickly asked:
"Master, have you discovered anything?"
Master Xuanming, Celestial Master Zhang, and Sect Leader Qingwei also looked over.
Li Jun remained silent for a second.
Then, he slowly began to speak.
"Currently, there appears to be no danger within the oasis."
He paused.
"However, the area in the center of the oasis is protected by a force, so there must be something there."
Upon hearing this, President Qin and the others widened their eyes in surprise.
Is there something in the center of the oasis?
These words instantly sparked a flood of thoughts in their minds.
What will be in that area?
Is it the source of the secret realm?
Is it some kind of priceless treasure?
still is……
Zhang Tianshi took a deep breath and said:
"Master, normally speaking, the existence of secret realms all has a source."
"It could be an object, or it could be some kind of force."
"Could what you've sensed be the very reason this secret realm exists?"
Li Jun glanced at him.
"Maybe."
He didn't say much.
"You'll find out what it is once you go inside."
President Qin nodded quickly.
"The Taoist priest is right, you'll see for yourself."
At this point, the helicopter began its descent.
Below is a flat Gobi Desert.
It is about one kilometer from the edge of the oasis.
There were a few tents pitched there, and a few off-road vehicles parked.
There were also some figures moving between the tents.
He is a member of the Night's Watch.
The helicopter landed smoothly.
The rotor slowly stopped rotating.
The hatch opened.
Li Jun was the first to jump.
He squinted and looked ahead.
A kilometer away, that eerie oasis lay quietly.
Broken mountain peaks, twisted trees, black lakes...
It looked particularly eerie in the sunlight.
At this moment, a group of people quickly came to greet them.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin, a burly build, and sharp eyes.
He strode up to Li Jun, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.
"Zhao Lie greets Daoist Li!"
Li Jun offered a slight helping hand.
"No need for such formalities."
Zhao Lie straightened up and looked at President Qin.
"President Qin!"
President Qin nodded.
"How is the situation?"
Zhao Lie took a deep breath.
"Everything is normal."
"Nothing has changed since the oasis appeared."
"We followed orders and sealed off the surrounding area, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching."
President Qin looked at Li Jun.
"Let's go."
Li Jun lifted his foot and walked towards the oasis.
President Qin and the others quickly followed.
The group walked closer and closer to the eerie oasis.
The Gobi Desert beneath our feet gradually turned into grassland.
Sparse vegetation began to appear.
The vegetation there was different from what was found elsewhere.
The leaves are larger, darker in color, and grow more lushly.
We walked for a while.
Ahead, a clear dividing line appeared.
On this side of the dividing line is the normal Gobi Desert with sparse vegetation.
Beyond the dividing line lies the oasis.
Those twisted trees, those eerie vines, those broken mountain peaks...
right in front of you.
Li Jun stopped in his tracks.
He stood on the dividing line, looking inside.
There was a few seconds of silence.
Then, he lifted his foot and stepped over it.
Instantly, an extremely rich aura rushed towards us.
The smell was a mixture of blood, decay, and an indescribable sense of brutality.
President Qin and his entourage followed behind, crossing the dividing line as well.
Then, they were all stunned.
Even though I had already seen it from the helicopter.
But now, actually setting foot on this land, the feeling of awe is completely different.
The ground beneath my feet was covered with vegetation, but I could vaguely see that the soil beneath the vegetation was dark red.
Just like...
Soaked through with blood.
In the distance, the twisted trees and eerie vines trembled slightly in the wind.
It makes a faint rustling sound.
The sound seemed like some kind of whisper.
President Qin took a deep breath to suppress the pounding in his heart.
He looked at Li Jun.
Li Junzheng stood still, looking around.
His face was expressionless.
But President Qin noticed that his brows furrowed slightly.
"Let's go."
Li Jun spoke.
He lifted his foot and continued walking forward.
President Qin and the others quickly followed.
The group walked deeper into the oasis.
They hadn't walked more than a few steps.
Swish!
A faint sound came from the nearby trees.
President Qin turned his head to look.
On a twisted tree trunk, dark red vines were slowly wriggling.
Just like...
Like snakes, they are awakening.
President Qin's heart tightened.
He subconsciously clenched his fist and circulated his inner energy.
But the next second...
The vines suddenly froze.
Then, it withers rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It turned to ashes and fell in a soft rustling sound.
President Qin was stunned.
He looked at Li Jun.
Li Jun was walking past that tree.
Their steps did not falter.
They didn't even glance at the tree.
Suddenly, a realization dawned on President Qin.
When Master Li said there was "no danger," he was probably referring to himself.
For others...
This place is not safe at all.
He quickly quickened his pace to keep up with Li Jun.
Master Xuanming, Celestial Master Zhang, and Sect Leader Qingwei also followed.
The group continued walking forward.
Similar scenes played out repeatedly along the way.
Those twisted trees, those eerie vines, even those unknown creatures hidden in the grass...
As soon as Li Jun walks by, everything will instantly turn to ashes.
Just like...
It was like encountering a natural enemy.
No, it's even more terrifying than their natural enemies.
As President Qin and his entourage walked, they grew increasingly alarmed, getting closer and closer to Li Jun.
Unbeknownst to them, the group had become very close to Li Jun, almost walking right up to him.
Li Jun sensed the movement behind him and felt somewhat helpless.
But he didn't say anything.
Just keep moving forward.
We walked for a while.
Ahead, a lake appeared.
The lake water was a deep blue, almost black.
A thin layer of gray mist floated on the lake.
The mist swirled and rolled slowly, as if it were alive.
Li Jun stopped in his tracks.
He looked at the lake, his brows furrowing slightly.
Upon seeing this, President Qin and the others immediately stopped in their tracks.
They looked at Li Jun, wondering what the Taoist priest had discovered.
At this moment, Li Jun raised his hand and waved it gently.
The gray mist floating on the lake began to slowly dissipate.
It was as if it had been pushed aside by an invisible hand.
President Qin and the others were shocked by what they saw.
They didn't know what Li Jun had done.
But they knew that the fog was definitely not something ordinary.
Ordinary things that would make Master Li personally dispel them?
Master Xuanming stepped forward and carefully observed the lake water.
He crouched down, reached out, and wanted to dip his hand in the lake water to see what it was like.
Just as his hand was halfway out, Li Jun's voice rang out.
"Don't touch it."
Master Xuanming was taken aback and quickly withdrew his hand.
He looked at Li Jun.
Li Jun didn't look at him, but stared at the lake.
There's something in the water.
Master Xuanming felt a chill run down his spine.
He looked closely at the lake.
The lake water was a deep blue, almost black, so dark that you couldn't see what was at the bottom.
But he could smell a very faint scent of blood wafting from the lake.
The smell of blood was very faint.
It's so faint you can barely smell it.
But Master Xuanming was certain that it was the smell of blood.
Moreover, this lake contains extremely strong spiritual energy.
It was better than any spiritual spring water he had ever seen.
It can practically be called a elixir.
But at this moment, Master Xuanming dared not collect the water.
Just by looking at the color of this water, you can tell it's abnormal.
Moreover, Master Li also said there was something inside.
Li Jun stood by the lake and gazed at it for a long time.
Then he reached out his hand.
He cast a spell towards the center of the lake.
