Chapter 123 A Gathering at the Jade Lake

"It's more beautiful here than the Yuxu Pure Land!"

The disciples of all the sects got shocked by what greeted them as soon as they entered the Jade Lake. Exclamations filled here up immediately. What was called a fairyland? Here it was! The soft grass bed was covered with fantastic flowers that they had never seen, as if the whole Pure Land of the Jade Lake was made up of flowers.

In the distance stood a clear, mirror-like lake surrounded by plenty of upstanding trees, on the branches of which grew a lot of delicate pink flowers. And from time to time, there would be petals slowly falling on the surface of the lake. What a crystal and beautiful place!

A breeze gently stroked the Pure Land, making countless delicate petals dance in the sky, followed with a refreshing and fascinating fragrant. The beautiful scenery on the bank was reflected by the Jade Lake, making it a dreamland.

It was still under the arrangement of the Palace of Hundred Flowers. No one had come here except for the disciples of the sect. Now thanks to the secret land, everyone got the opportunity to see this fantastic place.

"Where is the ancient secret land?" Looking at this wonderful Pure Land, Wang Bugui touched his head and whispered to himself. Then he threw his eyes at the disciples of the Palace of Hundred Flowers, and immediately withdrew his sight with an embarrassing smile.

He recalled the day of seeing the disciples of the Palace of Hundred Flowers bathing here.

However, he didn't mean it. In his heart, there were only three most beautiful women: his mother, Hanae Chiou, and Zi Yuxiao.

The female disciples of the Palace of Hundred Flowers who were present on that day also felt embarrassed with a flush face, even though they knew Wang Bugui indeed didn't mean it. After all, that extremely beautiful puppet showing up at the Gathering of Practitioners had explained everything.

When Wang Bugui looked at it, his eyes were full of love, which had never been revealed before other women. After they got to know who this puppet was, they all felt pity for them two.

"Are you sure the secret land is here?"

"We've been here many times, but never saw it."

"But it's the calculation of the four Big Capables. They won't make mistake. It's so weird!"

Even the elders were in confusion, not to mention those young people. They asked the four Big Capables, but gained no answer, and were told to wait here.

"Who is that woman?" Looking at the lake surface covered with petals, Leng Shuangrong slowly asked.

"A Big Capable that existed since the ancient historical times. She could have become an immortal, but I don't know why she refused." Yun Jinghong answered beside Leng Shuangrong.

"An ancient Big Capable? No wonder she's so strong. Perhaps, she calmed all the dark turmoil since the Age of Dharma Decline with the descendant of the Palace of the Human Emperors, didn't she?" Leng Shuangrong continued to ask, and caught a falling petal meanwhile.

"Yes. More precisely, she played an important role in calming down the turmoil. The power of the ancient Big Capables is much stronger than those in the Age of Dharma Decline." Yun Jinghong nodded.

Leng Shuangrong also nodded slightly. In the ancient historical times, there were a large quantity of ancient martial arts, but some of them had been lost since the Age of Dharma Decline. Therefore, there was a huge gap between the ancient Big Capables and the later ones. Then, Leng Shuangrong backed to silence, watching the young people quietly.

At this time, Chu He got emotional, and took out his Green Jade Flute to play a beautiful song. The melody seemed to be from ancient times, melodiously echoing in the Pure Land of the Jade Lake and washing everyone's mind and body.

The sound was pretty mysterious. Hearing it, the other cultivators seemed to be more understanding about Taoism.

"The flute melody Chu He plays is really mysterious, and I almost got to mediation." Wang Bugui laughed.

"..."

His words made the other young disciples speechless. They didn't understand why he mediated so easily. However, Wang Bugui didn't care about them. He went straight to the bank, and summoned the puppet Chiou out.

He sat side by side with her and put her hair in order. Then he pointed at the Jade Lake, saying, "Look, It's so beautiful here. I didn't have time to show you around last time I got here. And this is a makeup today!"

"What a pity! When can boss save her?" Looking at the backs of Wang Bugui and Chiou, Zhao Changge couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"What happened to them? Can you share it with us?" Meiqing suddenly asked.

Zhao Changge cast a glance at Wang Bugui, and nodded slightly.

"Well, let me tell you..."

Zhao Changge told the story of Wang Bugui and Chiou to them. And everyone got a heartache after learning it. Some female cultivators even burst into tears.

A woman, who was only in the Spirit Gathering Realm, struggled with a devil who matched a Big Capable for a full minute, just in order to save Wang Bugui. What a great determination she held!

What kind of power could support her to create such a miracle? The answer was obvious. Under their abnormality hid such a moving story that made everyone weep!

"I didn't expect Bugui would have experienced this." Chu He shook his head and sighed.

"Unfortunately, he only knows how to cherish after he loses. What if he can realize it early?!" Meiqing looked into the distance and sighed, with a trace of regret flashing in her eyes.

"This is the cause and effect, the fate!" Ning Zhe uttered with emotion.

"The cause and effect? Do you think this is also a choice of the Buddha?" Leng Yueyan got somewhat angry.

"The cause and effect is not decided by the Buddha, but by the heaven." Ning Zhe shook his head.

"My life is decided by myself, not the sky!"

All of a sudden, Wang Bugui said firmly, and everyone was shocked. His words were full of self-confidence, as if he really wanted to fight the sky. Then everyone stopped discussing the sad things and began to explore the issue of Taoism.

"What?"

Looking at the Jade Lake, Wang Bugui frowned with his eyebrows tightly knitted. He seemed to have sensed something. And the small pendant on his chest began to glow and vibrate, as if it was urging him to look forward.

"Is there anything strange at the bottom of the lake?" Wang Bugui speculated in his heart. But he couldn't figure out what was happening, because his sense field was screened.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to activate the small pendant. After all, it kept glowing, which meant it would guide him to find out the strangeness. Then, he infused some of his spiritual power into the pendant secretly, and the latter began to have a small change.

He immediately passed some prana blood into it, and in a short while, it gave out a lot of blue lights, illuminating his surrounding area. Attracted, the other cultivators all got up and looked into him.

Buzz!

A blue beam of power burst out, rushing to the center of the Jade Lake. The quiet lake surface was broken, and the reflection of the dreamland was shattered. Suddenly, a red light column burst out from the center of the lake, connecting with the blue light.

"What happened?!"

Yun Jinghong was the first one who rushed to Wang Bugui. However, he couldn't get close to Wang Bugui at all. Leng Shuangrong followed him to Wang Bugui, but she also failed to approach him. Yun Jinghong and Leng Shuangrong looked at each other, and then stepped aside to see what was going on.

The red light and blue light intertwined with each other, and then a huge light door abruptly appeared above the Jade Lake. Behind the door was another world full of richer aura.

"Oh my God, what is this?"

"Is it the ancient secret land?!"

The cultivators all stared at the light door with their mouths widely opened. The reason why they came here was to find the so-called ancient secret land. And now this place suddenly appeared in the sky. It must be the secret land!

Buy why it was Wang Bugui who found it? Everyone felt strange, for Wang Bugui had experienced so many mysterious things.

After a while, the two beams of light disappeared. Wang Bugui looked up at the scene behind the light door, but couldn't see it clearly, even if he possessed the Divine Eyes.

"Bugui, are you okay?" Yun Jinghong walked to him, asked, and studied him carefully. He got relieved, only after confirming that Wang Bugui was fine.

"I'm okay, Master. This must be the ancient secret land. Let's go in and have a look." Wang Bugui replied, and flew to the sky first. Yun Jinghong followed closely behind him.

"Boss, wait for us!"

Yu Wude and some other cultivators also rushed up, and suddenly passed through the light door. The rest of the cultivators began to look at each other, and followed their Sect Leaders to flew in the world in the sky.

In a short while, the overcrowded Jade Lake became empty. In the world behind the light door, people saw an old and broken martial field first. The surrounding areas were bleak, but there were some red palaces standing far away from each other.

However, they were all broken, and some of them were even crumbling, as if they would instantly be turned into ruins, with a gentle push.

In this vast land, the cultivators slowly moved forward. They found no creatures all the way, and what greeted them was a piece of dead silence. Some cultivators even stepped in the palace, but found nothing valuable, except for some women's clothes.

After about half an hour, they finally saw a relatively large palace and a clear lake.

"Immortal Land of the Jade Lake?"

There was a plaque hanging above the palace which wrote the six words. It turned out to be historical remains of an ancient big sect. Since it was named after the Jade Lake, it must be an especially powerful sect, but it was still buried by the years.

"Let's go inside and see. Headmasters first, and all the disciples, follow us carefully!"

Leng Shuangrong uttered, and walked in the palace with the headmasters. The disciples all took out their weapons, and followed the headmasters carefully. Their every step was careful. After all, they were in the remains of the ancient historical times, and there might be dangers here.
