From Jin Yu's conversation, Xuan Gui learned that they were basically the same as him, and had been teleported tens of thousands of miles away. It took them nearly two days to rush over.
Jin Yu was even teleported into a series of space cracks, and it took him a lot of time to get out of danger.
Xuan Gui also briefly talked about the situation he encountered. Of course, he didn't mention the matter of beheading a Bluebird, only that he encountered an ancient beast and escaped after some entanglement. To his surprise, Dragon Crocodile also beheaded an ancient beast that was not weak.
This was not surprising. In fact, these people all had the strength to kill ancient beasts. Dragon Crocodile was the strongest, and it was not a problem to kill ancient beasts in a short time.
The environment here is special, and many areas still retain the ancient landforms, so the number of ancient beasts that survive has increased a lot.
In fact, there is no clear realm division for ancient beasts. Even if their whole body's spiritual power reaches the level of a transforming demon beast, they cannot transform due to various reasons.
This has caused the strength of ancient beasts to be very different from that of demon beasts of the same rank. Especially in terms of intelligence. An eighth-order ancient beast has basically no chance of winning against an eighth-order demon cultivator or a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
An ancient beast with eighth-order strength can only be regarded as half a Nascent Soul cultivator.
This is the disadvantage of ancient beasts. However, most ancient beasts have thick skin and flesh, huge bodies, and extremely long lifespans. Some have special strengths that are also extremely powerful.
And the most unlucky of them was that Fellow Daoist Liu Qing. As soon as he met up with the others, he immediately sat down in a place to meditate and adjust his breath. His whole body's aura was also weakened, as if he had suffered some injuries.
According to this demon, he was unlucky enough to be trapped in an ancient restriction, and it took him some vitality to escape.
As for the old man in sackcloth, Feng Lao Yao, he looked quite calm. Xuan Gui could feel that there were also many changes in Feng Lao Yao's aura, obviously he had also encountered some situations along the way.
This demon didn't want to say more, and the others wouldn't ask more. They just simply talked about their respective situations, and no one knew how much of the information in their words was true and how much was false.
Of course, the goal of everyone gathering was the Black Water Pool, the legacy treasure left by the Xuanming Turtle. Other things were tacitly understood and would not be asked much.
After briefly explaining the situation, everyone sat cross-legged in an area, taking a short rest while waiting for Old Man Wan and the mysterious masked female cultivator.
After waiting like this, everyone waited for another half a day, but Old Man Wan still didn't arrive. The atmosphere among everyone seemed a bit strange.
Jin Yu stood on a boulder, looking at the sky in the distance, seemingly admiring the scenery, but his brows were slightly furrowed, obviously he also knew that the situation had changed.
After waiting for another half an hour, the Dragon Crocodile, who was originally sitting on the ground, refining the curved horn, let out a low shout and shot out a series of magic formulas onto the curved horn.
The huge curved horn emitted a dazzling spiritual light. Under rapid trembling, it gradually shrank, and in a moment it shrank to the size of a palm, and was collected into his sleeve by Dragon Crocodile with a wave of his hand.
This scene attracted the attention of the others. It seemed that the curved horn had been initially refined. Dragon Crocodile also smiled, ignoring everyone's gazes, and flashed to his feet to move his hands and feet.
Xuan Gui also took another look. Dragon Crocodile dared to refine treasures in such a dangerous place in a swaggering manner. Either he had extremely strong confidence in his own strength, or he was a bit arrogant.
But whether it was confidence or arrogance, Dragon Crocodile did have this capital.
These demon cultivators do act more domineering than human cultivators. If it were human cultivators, they would not refine treasures in front of everyone.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, I think those two won't come. We can't just wait here. I think, with our strength, it shouldn't be a problem to break the ancient restriction over there, right? Fellow Daoist Jin, don't you really put all your hopes on that human race formation master?" Dragon Crocodile stood up and looked at Jin Yu.
Jin Yu pondered for a moment, glanced at everyone, and gave a wry smile. "Sure enough, human race cultivators cannot be trusted. Regardless of whether they are in danger or have other plans, we have waited so long and they still haven't appeared, it seems there really is some problem."
"Then okay, let's not wait any longer, let's go to the Black Water Pool now. Jin came to find a formation master as a safety measure. It doesn't matter if they don't come. I have a treasure from my master that can also be used to break the formation restriction over there, but it is not as proficient in formations as that Old Man Wan, and it will take a lot of time to use. At that time, I will need the protection of all fellow Daoists."
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Jin really has a backup plan."
Afterwards, everyone no longer delayed, set off from the cliff, led by Jin Yu, and crossed several high mountains. After traveling for a quarter of an hour, they saw a pool of water in the distance.
This pool of water has a special location, surrounded by several ten-thousand-foot peaks, like a sinkhole, with a rumbling sound of water constantly. More than a dozen huge silver waterfalls hang on several high mountains, and all the water flows into the pool.
This is the Black Water Pool. It is said to be a pool, but it is more like a huge lake, at least five or six hundred miles wide. The pool water is ink-colored, and sunlight shines into it without any reflection. A cold air comes from below, and below is a pool of yin water.
Seeing the Black Water Pool, none of them rashly entered it. Since they knew that there were restrictions left by ancient cultivators below. After a brief discussion, they dispersed and carefully investigated the nearby area.
After all, they were going to break the restriction here, and the movement would definitely be small, so the nearby dangers had to be eliminated first.
After some investigation, it was stable within a thousand miles, and there were no powerful demon beasts or ancient beasts, and naturally no traces of other cultivators were encountered. Everyone gathered again and flew towards the Black Water Pool.
After falling to only twenty feet away from the water surface, Jin Yu rubbed his hands together and took out a black orb.
"Eh, a water attribute magic weapon, is this the treasure that Brother Jin said can break the restriction?" Madam Yan blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.
The eyes of Dragon Crocodile, Xuan Gui and others also immediately fell on the orb. With their eyesight, they immediately recognized that it was a water attribute treasure.
But the spiritual power emitted by this treasure was ordinary, just a rather ordinary orb, and it didn't seem to be anything special.
"Don't underestimate this treasure, everyone. This is a Li Water Orb refined from deep sea black crystal, which can separate the power of water flow. With this orb, not only can you avoid water, but even mortals without any spiritual power can dive into the deep sea."
"If that's the case, it does have some supernatural powers."
Jin Yu rubbed the Li Water Orb in his hand, his expression became a little dignified, and he hesitated for a moment and looked at Dragon Crocodile. "By the way, Brother Long, you are the strongest among us, and you also happen to cultivate water attribute supernatural powers, so I will have to trouble you to activate this treasure with me in order to exert the full power of the Li Water Orb."
Dragon Crocodile narrowed his eyes, casually glanced at the Li Water Orb, and nodded indifferently.
"Alright, let's go down now. As for the other fellow Daoists, after going down, first protect me and Brother Long. Also, everyone must remember not to leave my ten-foot range, otherwise you will be trapped by the restrictions in the water, and it will be difficult to escape." Jin Yu glanced at the others with a solemn expression, and exhorted again.
With a flash of his body, Jin Yu stood side by side with Dragon Crocodile, and the spiritual light in his hand flashed, and several magic formulas hit the Li Water Orb.
The orb slowly flew up, spinning around. Circles of strange translucent water waves rippled out, gradually forming a ten-foot-sized sphere of light, covering everyone in it.
The sphere of light rotated flickeringly, and the sound of slow flowing water could be heard in the ears. Xuan Gui sensed it, and spiritual power and divine sense could easily pass through it, it seemed to be just an ordinary water cover.
After the water cover was formed, Jin Yu nodded at Dragon Crocodile. Dragon Crocodile immediately raised his hand, and a black spiritual power also hit the Li Water Orb. Suddenly, the light on the Li Water Orb shone brightly, and two more layers of water cover were formed.
"Let's go."
A total of three layers of water cover covered everyone. Jin Yu then called out and led everyone into the water.
