796 Unexpected Turn of Events at the Bottom of the Pond

Splash.

Lin Dong’s body felt an extremely pure and mysterious energy surging over fromall directions the moment his body entered the Supreme Purity Celestial Pond.Finally, this energy steadily tunnelled into his body. While being nourished bythis energy, Lin Dong could faintly feel a slightly piercing pain thatoriginated from inside his body.

However, this piercing pain was not the same pain that resulted from injuries.Instead, a vaguely comfortable sensation was spreading in addition to thispain. It felt just like when a wound was being healed.

“This is… such powerful healing properties!”

Shock and amazement surfaced on Lin Dong’s face, before swiftly turning intopleasant surprise. This was because he had discovered that the source of thepiercing pain was from some of the injuries left within his body.

Lin Dong had fought countless life and death battles over the years. Quite anumber of them were bloody battles, hence, his body was naturally plagued withvarious internal injuries. Although some of the serious injuries could beswiftly healed by relying on his strong physical body, there would ultimatelybe some bruises that remained hidden. These slight injuries were normallydifficult to be sensed by even Lin Dong himself. Although they were minorwounds which did not hinder Lin Dong much, the accumulation of such wounds wasfrightening. Should they be accumulated until a certain point, it would nolonger be a trivial matter once they blew up.

It was due to this, that Lin Dong felt joyfully surprised as he felt thosehidden injuries within his body being healed by the Supreme Purity CelestialPond’s energy. It seemed that he had unknowingly resolved a potential problemthat might give him a headache in the future.

Lin Dong quietly sighed in relief. A thread of Devouring Power subsequentlyspread outwards, as the speed at which the energy surged into his body rosegreatly. Lin Dong no longer paid any attention to it after seeing this. YuanPower surged within his eyes, as he began to search for Ling Qingzhu’s figurewithin the pond.

“Where has she gone?”

Although Lin Dong was currently underwater, he was still able to seeeverything clearly. However, what puzzled him, was that he was could not findLing Qingzhu anywhere in the pond.

“Could she have gone below?” Lin Dong’s gaze swept around. He looked at thesomewhat dark pond bottom and frowned. After some hesitation, his toes pushedoff, and his body rapidly swam to the bottom of the pond while being wrapped bygreen light.

The Supreme Purity Celestial Pond was not massive. However, its depths wasunusually extensive. Moreover, there were quite a number of meandering watertunnels within it, hence, its terrain was exceptionally complicated.

Lin Dong’s body shuttled through these water tunnels. His Mental Energy wasfully activated at this moment. He followed the most minute responses andadjusted his direction.

This search continued for a whole ten minutes. However, Lin Dong still failedto accomplish anything. This fact caused Lin Dong to knit his brows tightly.The situation was a little unusual…

“Oh?”

While Lin Dong was feeling faintly puzzled in his heart, his expressionsuddenly changed as his spreading Mental Energy finally detected something. Hisgaze hurriedly looked at the bottom left position. After which, he rushed out.His body drew passed the water flow, emitting splashing sounds.

Lin Dong was extremely fast. A couple of minutes later, he had already reachedthe spot where his Mental Energy had sensed some unusual activity. After which,he saw a cluster of emerald green light blossoming at the bottom of the pond. Asuet jade-like naked body was curled up within the light, her fine black hairscattered behind her. From a distance, she appeared like a mermaid in aslumber. This lovely figure was Ling Qingzhu, who had entered the SupremePurity Celestial Pond earlier.

“Finally found her.”

Lin Dong undoubtedly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ling Qingzhu. Quicklyafter, his pupils suddenly shrunk. His eyes suddenly looked at the area belowLing Qingzhu. Rays of jade green light were shooting out from that spot, andcoincidentally connected to the light cluster around Ling Qingzhu’s body.

“There is indeed something strange going on!”

Lin Dong’s expression suddenly became a lot more grim after seeing this scene.He suddenly waved his sleeve, and a force swept towards the bottom of the pond, directly blowing away the mud. After the mud scattered, it was possible tosee a sinisterly white skeleton lying at the bottom of the pond.

Fluorescent light spread over the skeleton. Those jade green threads of lightshot out from the skeleton, before connecting to Ling Qingzhu’s body.

Light continuously flashed on the connected light threads. There seemed to besomething continuously surging out from Ling Qingzhu’s body, before finallybeing poured into the sinisterly white skeleton.

Lin Dong stared intently at the white skeleton. Those black eyes of the latterseemed to flicker with a jade green light.

This skeleton was actually absorbing the life force within Ling Qingzhu’s body!

Lin Dong’s pupils abruptly shrunk to the size of pinholes. His hand turnedinto blade as it furiously hacked downwards. Sharp palm force whistled out, andruthlessly chopped at the jade green light threads.

Buzz!

However, the palm force which could slice a mountain, did not have any effectwhen it landed on the light threads. Instead, it was repelled.

Lin Dong’s expression changed when he saw this. His body moved, and he swamtowards the light threads. Devouring Power surged on his palm, before hegrabbed the light threads.

Chi chi!

White fog immediately erupted from the light threads when Lin Dong’s handgrabbed them. Devouring Power seeped in, and directly devoured all of theenergy that was within this connection.

Crack!

The jade green light threads finally dimmed rapidly at this moment. In theend, it cracked and crumbled.

The light around Ling Qingzhu’s body also quickly disappeared when the lightthreads crumbled. However, her tightly shut eyes still did not show any signsof awakening.

Lin Dong moved. He reached out and grabbed Ling Qingzhu’s naked body. The icycold sensation that met his touch caused his heart to quiver violently. Hiseyes initially swept over her in an uncontrollable manner. After which, heviolently inhaled a breath, and took out a large robe to cover the body thatcaused all sorts of desires to rise within his body.

Although the robe was wet the moment it was taken out, and ended up adheringto Ling Qingzhu’s body, outlining her enchanting curves. It was at least muchbetter compared to the completely naked body from earlier.

Lin Dong did not have the time to think things through after hugging thatenchanting and delicate figure. He merely looked at the skeleton in the mudwith cautious eyes. At this moment, the skeleton was actually trembling in astrange manner. Soon after, it unsteadily sat in the mud. There was anextremely weak light flickering within its eyes.

A chill surged through Lin Dong’s heart the moment he saw this scene. From theancient aura that came seeping out of this skeleton, it seemed like this thingwas definitely something from ancient times. Even though Lin Dong had seen allkinds of ancient objects over the years, this was the first time that he sawsuch activity by a skeleton-like object.

This fellow. Just what kind of powerful desires did he have. He was still ableto stir like this after thousands of years…

Lin Dong’s eyes were grave as he watched the trembling skeleton. He was justabout to bring Ling Qingzhu and leave this strange place, when he saw theskeleton suddenly stiffen. After which, its bones began to crumble. In the end,it emitted a ‘bang’, and turned into dust that quickly dissipated.

Lin Dong could vaguely hear a voice that was filled with an endlessunwillingness being quietly transmitted underwater when this skeleton turnedinto dust.

Lin Dong was stunned as he watched this scene. Soon after, his eyes flickered.It seemed like this skeleton had finally reached its limit after enduring untilthis moment. That voice from earlier should have cause it to completelydisappear from this world.

Buzz!

While Lin Dong was quietly sighing in relief, a jade green light suddenlyflashed and appeared at the spot where the skeleton had disappeared. With a‘swoosh’ sound, it rushed passed the pond bottom and galloped towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong cautiously watched the jade green light that rushed over. Afterwhich, he discovered that this seemed to be an extremely mysterious spiritlight emblem. He could sense an extremely majestic ripple from within thislight emblem.

“This is… a Spirit Emblem?” Lin Dong’s pupils shrunk as he muttered.

The so-called Spirit Emblem was the entire essence of an extremely powerfulpractitioner that had been left behind. It could be considered an extremelyrare and precious mystical treasure. Su Ruo had attained her currentachievements, because of the Spirit Emblem she had obtained from the ancientrealm back then. Moreover, that was merely beginning…

Even Lin Dong’s heart felt boiling hot when faced with such a treasure.However, he was about to move and grab it, but the jade green light dodged him.Finally, it directly entered Ling Qingzhu’s body in front of his speechlesseyes.

“Looks like it has no affinity with me.” Lin Dong mocked himself, and shookhis head. Such great opportunities always brush past him…

Lin Dong ceased having other thoughts after mocking himself in this manner. Hewas just about to hug Ling Qingzhu and leave, when he felt the person in hisembrace move a little. After which, he lowered his head, and saw a pair ofclear opened eyes on a blazing red beautiful face.

Two bright pairs of eyes met each other at the bottom of the pond. Yet, theboth of them were strangely silent…
