"What's the point of setting up so many mechanisms in this Immortal King's Tomb?" Fang Yu frowned and asked.
Before he pushed open the bronze door, he had been struck by three powerful forces of law. Although these didn't cause any real harm, it was clear that there were many mechanisms set up here, and they were designed to kill.
"It's kind of like a test, you see. Whoever wants to inherit the legacy and treasures left by the Heavenly Immortal King has to go through layers of trials," Han Miaoyin said.
"What could be in this pool? Or maybe it's an underwater tunnel?" Fang Yu walked up to the pool and crouched down.
Facing the murky, gray pool, he extended his right hand.
"Sizzle..."
The moment his fingers touched the water in the pool, a searing sound erupted.
A gust of black qi quickly evaporated.
Fang Yu retracted his hand and looked at Han Miaoyi, saying: "This water is not ordinary water. It has extremely strong corrosive properties. If an ordinary person jumps in, they will directly dissolve into a puddle of paste."
"Just like that blob of goo you see on the ground?" Han Miao'yi narrowed her eyes and asked.
"That should be it," Fang Yu replied.
As he spoke, Fang Yu raised his right hand again.
"Bang!"
A fist-sized nucleus of a nuclear energy source appeared on his right hand.
Immediately, he threw the nuclear core stone into this pool.
"Zila..."
This piece of core energy stone instantly melted away, and even the contained nuclear power within it was corroded completely, leaving not a trace.
"Extremely corrosive, it even corrodes nuclear power." Fang Yu said.
Saying that, he looked at Han Miaoyi.
"But for the two of us, it's just soaking in some hot spring water," Fang Yu said. "But you still need to release some aura to protect yourself, otherwise your body will be fine, but your clothes might melt."
"Understood, Fang-xiong," Han Miaoyin replied.
At this time, Wujiān and a group of cultivators were behind him, but they stopped watching from about twenty meters away, not daring to go forward.
Evidently, they still await Fang Yu and Han Miaoyin to uncover the source of the danger for them.
“Here I can’t help you, you have to rely on yourselves.” Fang Yu turned to Wujian and smiled. “Let me give you one more piece of intel: the water here is incredibly corrosive, but to get into the tomb, you must jump in. You have to pass through underwater passages, so be mentally prepared.”
Having said that, he plunged into the pool.
Han Miaoyi followed closely behind, releasing her fairy power, a golden glow enveloping her as she jumped in.
Both of them disappeared into the water pool one after another, vanishing without a trace.
Hearing Fang Yu's words and seeing this scene... Wu Jian only then dared to walk to the edge of the pond.
He stared at the murky, gray-black pool, his brow furrowed in deep concentration.

As Fang Yu said, it's easy to get into this pool!
Their powerful corrosive properties could melt them instantly!
"Grand Elder, that fellow must be deceiving us, right? He and that female cultivator just jumped in so easily. There's no reaction from the pool at all! How could there possibly be any corrosive properties?" A disciple spoke up, stepping forward and extending his hand, "Let me try it out for everyone first."
"Stop!" Wuji's face changed, and he immediately shouted.
However, the disciple, with a ball of mana gathered in his right hand, thinking he was invincible, still reached into the water pool.
"Zap!"
A voice, like a burning flame, rang out!
"Ahhhhhhh!!!" The disciple let out a shrill scream, his whole body losing its balance and teetering on the edge of the pool.
The Unfettered Release Method can seize it and pull it back.
"AAAAAAAAAA...... My hand, my hand AAAAAAAA...." The disciple screamed incessantly. His right arm, which had been stretched into the water, had vanished.
Seeing this, the many disciples behind him turned pale with fear, their terror reaching its peak.
The disciple, thrusting his hand into the pool of water, yet released a burst of mana to protect himself!
But, to his surprise, he still vanished in an instant!
The corrosion in this pool... is truly terrifying!
But if they want to delve deeper, they have to jump in with their whole body!
This... who has the guts to go down there?
If you jump down, you could be instantly corroded into a puddle!
Just like that big, bloody mess we saw on the ground before!
All the disciples panicked, their faces pale, and they backed away.
They don't want to go any deeper!
Anyway, even if they could really get access to the Immortal King's inheritance, it wouldn't be their turn to inherit it!
They came here initially just for so-called training, to boost their honor points within the sect!
We have been going round and round on this endless plain, enduring countless hardships along the way!
Must one risk one's life now?
They refuse!
"Elder, we can't go any further. This is the limit, we can't go any further…" A disciple spoke in a trembling voice.
He took the lead, and the other disciples quickly followed suit.
"Yes, Elder Great. The danger level within this pool is simply too high. I agree... it's best not to continue any further..." Elder Wu Hai stated solemnly.
Without looking away from the pool of water before him, Wuji gritted his teeth, his face shifting through a myriad of expressions.
His eyes were filled with the struggle.
