Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2073 - 2055: Go Take a Look, Wait for My Return

"We implore fellow cultivator to take action!"

"We implore fellow cultivator to assist our Spirit Heaven Sect!"

"We implore fellow cultivator to help all humans on the Lingtian Continent!"

Everyone was kneeling on both knees, clasping their fists as they pleaded with Lin Feng. If Lin Feng took action, then the humans of Lingtian Continent would have a way out, no longer merely hiding here and barely surviving. They had always taken it upon themselves to restore the entire Lingtian Continent. If they could lead the Spirit Heaven Sect and all humanity to prosperity, they truly wouldn’t mind doing anything.

Lin Feng wasn’t surprised by the reaction of Ancestor Zhentian and the others. Much like those trapped in prison yearning for freedom, these people felt the same way. Yet, regardless, having them kneel on the ground felt inappropriate.

Thinking about this, Lin Feng gently waved his hand, and suddenly a burst of air lifted Ancestor Zhentian and the others from the ground. Smiling, he said to everyone, "Since I have spoken, I will certainly follow through. As fellow human cultivators, I cannot stand by idly."

"Thank you, fellow cultivator!"

"Thank you, fellow cultivator!"

...

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Ancestor Zhentian and the others were thoroughly relieved and collectively expressed their gratitude to him.

"No need to be so polite." Lin Feng said with a smile, looking at the congregation, "By the way, there’s one thing I’d like to ask you: are there any other places on the Lingtian Continent that are particularly unusual? Places that seem important yet remain unexplored?"

Although he was about to help them, Lin Feng also wanted to know if there were such locations, as he had gained so much during his last visit to the Divine Oracle Continent. So now he had developed a habit—to inquire upon arriving at a new place.

"To answer, fellow cultivator, there indeed are such places. There are two such locations on the Lingtian Continent. One is called the Bottomless Cliff, and the other is known as the Life and Death Pool." Upon Lin Feng’s inquiry, Ancestor Zhentian immediately spoke up. "The Bottomless Cliff is special because flying above it is impossible. There seems to be a peculiar force controlling things, even demons cannot soar with their wings—they get sucked in and perish. Many previously attempted to climb down the cliff to explore but none survived, not even Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses."

After a brief pause, Ancestor Zhentian continued, "As for the Life and Death Pool, it’s even more peculiar. There are two outcomes for those who enter the pool: life or death. Life means no impact at all, while death means sudden death, with the corpse instantaneously dissolving from the pool, as if it never existed. Many have explored the Life and Death Pool, many have died, and many have survived; yet even survivors couldn’t truly unravel the mysteries of this pool."

After listening to Ancestor Zhentian’s explanation, Lin Feng nodded. Being described as a land of absolute danger, there undoubtedly must be a solution. The Bottomless Cliff seemed understandable, but the Life and Death Pool felt inscrutable, truly intriguing. He wondered what the criteria for life and death judgments at the pool were.

"Can you tell me, if there are any commonalities among those who survived the Life and Death Pool?" Lin Feng looked at Ancestor Zhentian and continued to inquire, believing someone must have investigated these matters.

"Fellow cultivator, it may seem unbelievable, but survivors from the Life and Death Pool share no commonalities—not from the same clan, varied realms, of all ages, genders, and even so-called neutrals are included. Occupations are extremely diverse, covering almost all, yet no related pattern can be discerned." After a moment of pause, Ancestor Zhentian said to Lin Feng, "To tell you the truth, fellow cultivator, offenders with serious charges here are thrown into the Life and Death Pool; survival is deemed great luck, perishing as dictated by fate."

"This truly is surprising." Lin Feng was taken aback by Ancestor Zhentian’s explanation, feeling speechless. He never expected such practices here, but then realized the implication—the Life and Death Pool must be nearby, prompting his desire to see it.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Could you kindly take me to have a look?"

"Certainly, if fellow cultivator is interested, we’ll take you now, but please do not take risks—the Life and Death Pool is exceedingly dangerous." Ancestor Zhentian agreed promptly upon hearing Lin Feng wanted to see the Life and Death Pool, but didn’t forget to caution. He didn’t want Lin Feng to act on impulse and die there.

Lin Feng smiled, waving his hand. He wasn’t foolish; no way would he joke about risking his life. Even if he wished to explore, he must possess sufficient assurance.

Ancestor Zhentian saw Lin Feng’s demeanor and smiled. Soon, everyone left Zhentian Residence and headed to the Life and Death Pool.

The Life and Death Pool was not far from there, and they soon arrived at the location.

The pool wasn’t large, spanning just a few square meters. It was deep green, obscuring any view of the interior, and its surface resembled a lifeless pond, devoid of any ripple. It appeared indistinguishable from a small ditch, save for a stele at its edge inscribed with ’Life and Death Pool’, without which no one would associate this water with death.

"Has this stele always been here, or was it placed later?" Lin Feng pointed at the stele, questioning Ancestor Zhentian.

"This stele was already here, otherwise no one would know this is called the Life and Death Pool." Ancestor Zhentian promptly replied.

Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this, and then circled the Life and Death Pool, not spotting anything special. Yet atop the pool, he sensed a peculiar aura, as though beckoning people to enter. However, its presence was very faint, detectable only slightly by him.

Gazing at the Life and Death Pool, Lin Feng furrowed his brow and activated his Divine Sense, causing a droplet from the pool to hover mid-air suspended by nothing, as he closed his eyes and concentrated on perceiving the peculiarities of this water.

Through his perception, Lin Feng discovered something—this pool was not dead, but alive, harboring numerous microorganisms. In terms of modern science, these microorganisms were unique, seemingly intent on consuming something.

Then a realization struck Lin Feng, wondering if the pool judged life and death through these microorganisms. But from where do these microorganisms originate, and why do some perish while others survive? Without realizing, Lin Feng entered a unique state, standing motionless, pondering other matters.

Ancestor Zhentian and his companions understood Lin Feng was contemplating and refrained from disturbing him, waiting by his side for his awakening.

Soon, Lin Feng awoke with a smile upon his face. His Divine Sense activated again, causing the droplet to shoot toward the nearby tree, striking an unknown small creature. The creature rapidly got consumed by the droplet and began dissolving, eventually scattering onto the ground, leaving only some fur.

"Ancestor Zhentian, if I explore this Life and Death Pool and damage it, you won’t demand compensation, right?" Lin Feng looked at Ancestor Zhentian and the others, asking with a smile.

"Fellow cultivator, you need not be so reserved; if fellow cultivator can unravel the mysteries of this Life and Death Pool, you may damage it however you see fit." Ancestor Zhentian replied immediately upon Lin Feng’s remark. They couldn’t investigate it themselves, so if Lin Feng could, let him. Compensating was out of the question.

Realizing Lin Feng’s words, Ancestor Zhentian inquired, "Did fellow cultivator discover a solution?"

He was genuinely curious; ever since the Life and Death Pool was discovered, countless tried to elucidate its mysteries, yet none succeeded. Throughout history, numerous perished here, all attempts exhausted, but no leads emerged. Lin Feng arrived, finding a solution—it was miraculous!

"Indeed, I’ve found a solution, but I need to prepare. After I return from Spirit Demon Sect, I’ll explore here," Lin Feng replied calmly, then asked, "Ancestor Zhentian, where is the Bottomless Cliff?"

"The Bottomless Cliff is in the southeast of the continent, it’s easy to recognize as it’s surrounded by black stones—only that area is like that." Ancestor Zhentian responded immediately.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded, then asked Ancestor Zhentian, "I’m going to visit Spirit Demon Sect now; do you know where it’s located?"

"Spirit Demon Sect is on the eastern part of the continent, we’re in the west. It’s easy to discern as its site is a giant mountain easily visible from afar, and Spirit Demon Sect resides atop it!" Excitedly responding, Ancestor Zhentian didn’t expect Lin Feng to visit Spirit Demon Sect immediately; he was delighted!

The five Supreme Elders also brightened up at this point, Lin Feng’s words resonating with them—they hoped Lin Feng would swiftly head to Spirit Demon Sect and eradicate those damned demon beasts, enabling Spirit Heaven Sect to lead humanity’s resurgence.

"Well then, farewell everyone, I’m off to visit Spirit Demon Sect now, see you upon my return."

After listening to Ancestor Zhentian, Lin Feng nodded and said simple words before taking a gentle step, instantly vanishing from sight, as if he was never there!
