Chapter 1956 - 415: The Devil at the Lake Bottom

Lin Yifan was very puzzled and couldn't figure it out. Maybe only if he left the Immortal Ring and went out to investigate in person would he gain something.

But how was he supposed to ensure his own safety?

This time he'd reacted quickly, so he hadn't been hit by too many curses; next time, he might not be so lucky.

"How do you get rid of this kind of curse? How do you defend against it?" Lin Yifan asked the Enlightenment Tree.

"As long as your cultivation in the Dao is profound, you can clear it away and resist it," the Enlightenment Tree answered.

"But your cultivation in the Dao isn't that high either, so how were you able to break it?" Lin Yifan asked.

"My cultivation in the Dao isn't high, but I know many different Daos, so I can find a Dao specifically aimed at this curse," the Enlightenment Tree answered.

"So in other words, as long as I keep you by my side, the curse won't be able to hurt me, yeah?"

"Big Bro Fan, what are you trying to do? I'm telling you, just saving you that time already took all the strength of nine bulls and two tigers out of me, I really don't have it in me to save you again."

The Enlightenment Tree shrank back, its heart gripped by extreme fear.

"Don't be afraid, we're just going out for a little while, we'll be back soon."

Lin Yifan comforted it gently, then his expression suddenly shifted, and he grabbed the Enlightenment Tree and dragged it out.

The Enlightenment Tree wailed and kept begging for mercy: "Hey hey hey! Big Bro Fan, no! Don't! Don't!"

But Lin Yifan had already made up his mind and wouldn't heed its pleas.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, man and tree appeared in Snow Moon Lake.

They were probably about a hundred meters below the surface, or else the surroundings wouldn't have been as black as ink.

In this kind of environment, the Enlightenment Tree was a bit scared, not knowing what demons and monsters might appear around them.

Lin Yifan tried sinking downward, but after half a minute he still hadn't touched the lakebed, as if below them was a bottomless abyss, depth unknown.

In darkness like this, you needed at least a bit of light to dispel the fear in your heart.

Lin Yifan took out the Fire Spirit Pearl, channeled Mana, and lit up a portion of space.

Although it brightened the area around him, all he could still see was pitch-black.

Compared to an ocean trench, this environment carried a few more degrees of stillness and a few more degrees of dread.

To find out what was beneath the lakebed, Lin Yifan continued sinking.

However, the farther down he went, the more uneasy he felt, as if something was about to happen.

Sure enough, that black stuff appeared again, and it was extremely vicious.

"Enlightenment Tree, go at it! Go at it!" Lin Yifan shoved the Enlightenment Tree in front of him, scared out of his wits.

Facing this black mass, the Enlightenment Tree's legs went weak too: "Big Bro Fan, this curse is too powerful, I can't handle it, hurry and get into the Immortal Ring."

"Goddammit!"

Lin Yifan couldn't help cursing under his breath, and could only retreat into the Immortal Ring.

It really wasn't the Enlightenment Tree's fault; maybe this curse was just too strong, and with its current strength, it simply couldn't take it down.

"Big Bro Fan, I'm sorry, I…I…"

The Enlightenment Tree felt deeply guilty, but there was nothing it could do.

"Say no more, I get it!"

Lin Yifan felt that making a tiny Spiritual Tree face such a massive curse on its own was just too bastardly.

He didn't even dare, so how could he make the Enlightenment Tree go?

"What did you two see? Why are you so terrified?"

At this time, the three Spiritual Trees came over and asked curiously.

"A very massive curse," the Enlightenment Tree answered.

"How massive?"

"At least several hundred cubic meters!"

"Several hundred cubic meters? This…this…"

The three Spiritual Trees were dumbstruck, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.

Several hundred cubic meters was several stories tall, that big—just imagining it was terrifying.

Now they finally understood why the man and tree were so panicked.

"So what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? We wait until the storm passes before we leave," Lin Yifan answered.

At this moment, the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring was definitely being swallowed by the curse; going out was a dead end, they could only wait and see.

The three Spiritual Trees had no better idea either and could only wait anxiously.

In Snow Moon Lake, the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring was being dragged down by the black curse, like a falling meteorite, sinking faster and faster.

No one knew how much time passed before Lin Yifan finally heard the sound of the ring landing.

That meant the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring had already sunk to the lakebed.

Ever since he'd learned about the curse's existence, Lin Yifan had been filled with dread toward the bottom of Snow Moon Lake.

He had no idea what demons and monsters might exist on the lakebed; in any case, he didn't really dare go out.

After a long while, he finally made up his mind: "If it's a blessing it's not a curse, if it's a curse you can't dodge it."

To the Enlightenment Tree, these words were like a bolt from the blue: "Big Bro Fan, I…I…"

"Don't be afraid, this time I'll go out by myself."

Lin Yifan felt that the Enlightenment Tree couldn't help much out there anyway, so he might as well let it stay here and recover its strength for emergencies.

The Enlightenment Tree secretly let out a breath of relief; this was truly fortune within misfortune.

After giving a few last instructions, Lin Yifan immediately set out.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, he appeared at the bottom of Snow Moon Lake.

It was still pitch-black here, even darker than ink; on top of that, terrifying sounds echoed all around.

Lin Yifan's hair stood on end and he couldn't help a shiver. He promptly took out the Fire Spirit Pearl and lit up the surroundings.

He hadn't realized it before, but the moment he did, he got a huge fright; because he saw many terrifying things that looked just like Fierce Ghosts.

These Fierce Ghosts lunged at him, wanting to devour him.

"Aaaaah!!!"

Lin Yifan panicked and fled into the Immortal Ring in an instant, gripped by indescribable fear.

Seeing Lin Yifan's soul nearly scared out of his body, trembling all over, the four Spiritual Trees gathered around, asking curiously, "Big Bro Fan, what did you see, why are you so scared?"

"I saw a whole bunch of black devils, it was terrifying. They bared their fangs and stretched out their Ghost Claws, trying to eat me," Lin Yifan answered, scared out of his wits.

"What? This…"

The four Spiritual Trees were shaken as well, a terrifying atmosphere instantly hanging over their heads.

"What do we do? Are we going to get eaten by devils?"

"The Seven-Colored Immortal Ring is an Immortal Emperor level item, those devils shouldn't be able to break through the ring."

"But if we're trapped here, we'll be drained to death anyway, won't we?"

"Don't worry, when you think the mountain paths are at an end, suddenly you find willows shading bright flowers and another village. There's always a way. Let Big Bro Fan calm down first."

...

The four Spiritual Trees forced themselves to stay composed and all shut their mouths, so as not to affect Lin Yifan's mood.

Lin Yifan really was trying hard to calm himself.

He was someone who had seen great rights and wrongs, great catastrophes and disasters; he wasn't that easy to knock down. And besides, he had only seen those devils—he hadn't seen them charge at him in wave after wave, so the environment they were in wasn't necessarily unsafe.

Thinking it over carefully, he gradually showed an expression of disbelief, and at the same time arrived at a shocking guess.

He realized that these devils at the bottom of Snow Moon Lake were extremely similar to the void creature that Qingxu Immortal had suppressed.

In other words, the devils he had just seen were very likely void creatures.

"Could it be that the Realm of Longevity has already been surrounded by void creatures? Is this the entrance through which they're entering the Realm of Longevity?"
