Chapter 37 Entering the Dragon Pond
Chapter 37 Entering the Dragon Pond
At the top of Zhaixing Peak, the setting sun is like fine gold foil, gently falling on the quaint stone steps, coating this holy place for cultivation with a layer of warm and solemn glow.
Song Yun walked with brisk steps, his figure lengthened in the interweaving of light and shadow.
Passing through the well-arranged paths in the bamboo forest, an ancient and elegant courtyard came into view. That was the place where his master Sikong Luo practiced meditation.
When you push open the door, a faint scent of pine and tea fragrance hits your nose, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Sikong Luo was sitting at his desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, his brows revealing an otherworldly tranquility and wisdom.
"Yun'er, you're back." Sikong Luo's voice was gentle yet powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
Song Yun took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully, his eyes gleaming with excitement: "Master, I lived up to your expectations and achieved good results in the competition."
Si Kong Luo heard this, and a trace of praise flashed in his eyes: "Master knows that your performance this time is indeed remarkable. It not only shows the demeanor of my disciples of Zhaixing Peak, but also wins honor for yourself. But remember, the road of cultivation is long and difficult. Temporary victory or defeat is not the end. Perseverance is the right way."
Song Yun's heart became more resolute after hearing this, and he nodded and said, "Disciple will remember Master's teachings."
The master put down the ancient book in his hand, his eyes became deep, and he slowly said: "Yun'er, do you know the precious land of the Dragon Transformation Pond in my sect?"
Song Yun was moved when he heard this. He had heard a little about it in the sect's scriptures, but knew very little about the specific details, so he respectfully asked, "Master, please teach me."
Sikong Luo stroked his long beard and said slowly: "The Dragon Transformation Pond is a holy place for cultivation opened up by the powerful men of our sect with supreme magic power. It contains the spiritual fluid of heaven and earth and rich spiritual energy. It can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones, and enhance the strength of the body and soul. It has immeasurable benefits for practitioners. But because of this, it is extremely precious. Generally, only elders or disciples who have made great contributions to the sect have the opportunity to enter and cultivate there."
"Yun'er, you won first place in this competition and were rewarded with the opportunity to enter the Dragon Pool for seven days. You must seize this opportunity and strive to improve your strength to a higher level." Sikong Luo continued.
"Yes, I will definitely work hard." Song Yun replied.
After coming out of Sikong Luo's yard, Song Yun went straight back to his residence.
Song Yun decided to rest for a few days to restore his mental state to its best condition before entering the Dragon Pool.
After several days of intensive cultivation and self-improvement, Song Yun's state of mind was as calm and profound as the surface of a lake washed by morning dew.
His spiritual consciousness, after continuous condensation and purification, became extremely sharp and refined, as if he could see through the subtle details of all things in the world.
Today, the sun is shining brightly and the breeze is not dry. Song Yun feels a strong urge in his heart - to go to the most mysterious treasure land in the sect, the Dragon Pool, to practice.
This Dragon Transformation Pond is said to be the dream place of all disciples of the sect. Legend has it that it contains endless spiritual energy and mysterious power, which can greatly improve the cultivation and physical fitness of practitioners.
Along the way, he passed through lush forest paths, crossed gurgling streams, and finally came to the entrance of the Hualong Pond.
At the entrance, a guardian in a green shirt and with a dignified face was standing quietly. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see into people's hearts. He spoke to Song Yun.
"This is a treasured place of the sect. No outsiders are allowed to enter."
"Senior, I am Song Yun, a new disciple of the sect, and I have been allowed by the sect master to enter the Dragon Pond." Song Yun said.
"Oh? Are you the first place in this rookie competition?" the guardian asked doubtfully.
"Yes, disciple." Song Yun replied.
"You have such strength at such a young age. Not bad, not bad."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior."
After confirming Song Yun's identity, the guardian's expression relaxed slightly. He took out an ancient token from his arms and handed it to Song Yun.
"Take this token and you can enter." The guardian's voice was deep and powerful, with unquestionable majesty, "But please remember, although the Dragon Pond is nice, it is not a place to stay for long. You only have seven days to practice. Once the time is up, you will be forced to teleport out whether you like it or not."
"Yes." Song Yun took the token and said.
Under the gaze of the guardian, Song Yun strode into the entrance of the Dragon Pool with big strides.
As Song Yun stepped into the entrance of the Dragon Pond, an indescribable strange airflow of a mixture of coldness and warmth hit him in the face, as if it instantly penetrated his clothes and reached deep into his skin.
This airflow contains rich spiritual energy, which is pure and powerful, making people involuntarily take a deep breath, wanting to absorb this power into their bodies.
Before our eyes, the scene of Hualong Pond gradually unfolds, like an ancient painting slowly unfolding.
The water in the pool is not ordinary, but presents a deep green color, as if it contains the essence of mountains, rivers and plants, and seems to be integrated into the depths of the sea of stars.
From time to time, tiny bubbles slowly rise on the water surface, making a slight "puff" sound when they burst, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality to this quiet space.
All around, towering ancient trees stand tall, their branches and leaves dense and verdant, as if they have experienced the baptism of countless years, but are still full of vitality.
The sunlight shines through the dense leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of warmth and peace to this mysterious Hualong Pond.
However, within this tranquility, there seems to be an indescribable sense of oppression hidden, which makes people dare not slack off or relax in the slightest.
There is a faint fragrance in the air, a mixture of the freshness of grass and trees, the fragrance of flowers and some ancient and mysterious scent.
This fragrance seems to have magical power that can penetrate people's hearts and bring a sense of tranquility and serenity, while also stimulating people's curiosity and desire to explore the unknown world.
As Song Yun gradually approached the Dragon Pond, he felt an increasingly strong energy fluctuation.
This energy fluctuation originated from the pool water, as if there were countless spirit snakes swimming in the water, or countless stars twinkling.
He could clearly feel that this energy was constantly washing over his body and mind, removing impurities and dirt, making his body and mind purer and stronger.
The most shocking thing was that when Song Yun concentrated his mind, calmed his breath and closed his eyes, he could actually faintly hear a low humming sound coming from the depths of the Hualong Pond.
The sound is like the roar of an ancient beast and also like the purest music of nature, full of power and rhythm.
It seemed to be telling the origin and secret of Hualongchi, and also seemed to be guiding Song Yun to explore deeper mysteries.
At this moment, Song Yun deeply felt the mystery and greatness of the Hualong Pond.
