The source, the Blood River’s source was here!
Zhao Hai can almost affirm it at this point . He immediately ordered the Blood Lotus to rushed towards the cave . As soon as he reached the cave, Zhao Hai could quickly sense the change in environment .
The water inside the cavern was thicker it also had a stronger scent . But although the scent was strong, it wasn’t something that would choke a person . Instead, this scent made one feel more energetic and comfortable .
Besides these, Zhao Hai also discovered that there were a lot of Blood Spirit Beasts inside the cave . Moreover, these beasts were all blood red in color, and were almost transparent, they looked very beautiful .
However, Zhao Hai could feel that each one of these beasts had formidable strength . Every single one of them were no weaker than Addison . If Zhao Hai’s strength hadn’t increased to its current state, then he wouldn’t have been a match against these Blood Spirit Beasts .
This cave wasn’t very big, at about a meter in diameter . The blood water stretched up to 50 centimeters deep . But in the depths of this 50 centimeters were the most powerful Blood Spirit Beasts .
After seeing this situation, Zhao Hai knew it would be unrealistic for him to go inside and fight . Because of this, Zhao Hai had no choice but to stop at the mouth of the cave . What was strange was the fact that the Blood Spirit beasts didn’t attack him despite him being just at the entrance of the cave . This was different compared to the beasts that Zhao Hai had met before .
In the end, Zhao Hai can only release his blood needles to search inside the cave . The needle was an inanimate object, therefore the Blood Spirit Beasts just ignored its presence .
While this was happening, Zhao Hai entered the Space and looked at the monitor along with the others . They knew that they had found the river’s source .

The blood needle flew for more than ten meters beyond the cave before it came upon another open space . Zhao Hai and the others didn’t expect this one to be a very huge area . There was a great blood red lake inside this space . There was a distinct absence of Dark Mist above the lake . From the surface of the lake to the roof of the huge cave was about a 100-meter empty area . The walls of the cave was naturally made out of bone, it gave a sturdy and strong appearance .
Zhao Hai commanded the blood needles to survey the entire place . Then suddenly, Zhao Hai’s attention was taken by a huge stone pillar in the middle of the lake . The pillar was quite huge . At a diameter of 5 meters, the pillar stretched up 100 meters upwards . Unexpectedly, the stone pillar was actually hollow . Moreover, Zhao Hao could note that this space’s Dark Mist was being sucked in by that stone pillar .
After this discovery, Zhao Hai immediately felt the urge to enter the stone pillar to take a look . However, Zhao Hai began to feel that this pillar might be one of those things he saw on TV . It was when someone uses a straw in order to breath underwater . At the thought of this scene, Zhao Hai lost courage in entering the stone pillar . He didn’t want to become another person’s food .
In addition to the stone pillar, Zhao Hai also found a spring not far from the pillar . There was a non-stop flow of blood water coming from that spring, it was quite spectacular .
Upon looking at this scene for some time, Zhao Hai shifted his focus on the deep lake . He already knew that this large lake was the source of the Blood River .
When Zhao Hai’s spiritual force searched below the surface of the lake, he was met with shock . Blood red plants grew in all directions . He can also see Blood Spirit Beasts leisurely swimming inside . There were also grotesque looking rocks shining amidst the plants .
Zhao Hai didn’t expect the lake’s underwater portion to be illuminated . He quickly commanded the blood needles to explore the vicinity, projecting the findings on the Space’s monitor .
But as the blood needles continued on, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare . This lake was simply a huge pit, it was very deep . It had already reached a point where the area around the blood needles became almost pitch black .

The pillar that extended out of the lake had a hole on its side . It was this hole that provided the blood water that the spring had been spewing out .
Zhao Hai commended the blood needle to go straight down . After diving for ten minutes, Zhao Hai suddenly spotted a tiled roof!
He didn’t see wrong, it was actually a tiled roof . It was glazed tile, and upon looking at the roof, it seems to be perfectly preserved .
Zhao Hai stared, then he quickly commanded the needle to stop . He didn’t expect to see a roof here . Moreover, it was a well-preserved roof .
This roof didn’t seem to be destroyed or damaged in any degree, which made Zhao Hai feel even more strange . If this structure was built and was plunged into such a deep body of water, it shouldn’t have been preserved this well . This structure being well preserved only meant one thing, it was built underwater .
Moreover, Zhao Hai noted another thing, the surroundings of this structure didn’t have any Blood Spirit Beast . There were only plants present, no beasts .
Because of this unusual encounter, Zhao Hai decided to be more careful . He investigated the surroundings and found nothing else . However, he discovered that the scouting range of the blood needles seem to have been restricted . The normal range of the blood needles was ten thousand meters . But now, it could barely scout 1000 meters around it . The suppression had reached more than ten times .
Laura and the others were also looking at this strange place, nobody spoke a word . All of them were staring at the monitor, trying to look for anything . At this time, Zhao Hai saw two pillars right behind this structure . This caused Zhao Hai to be confused, he remembered that there was only one pillar coming out of the lake’s surface . How come there was two?
After looking around and seeing that there was no immediate danger, Zhao Hai commanded the blood needles to continue its dive . Before long, a giant palace was projected on the monitor .
There was only a great hall inside this palace . There were no walls in this palace, it only had a fine stone-paved floor . The whole hall was about 50 meters high, 200 meters long, and 100 meters wide . The outside walls of the palace was made out of a kind of stone . This stone wasn’t red, it was only the blood red water’s shade that made the wall look bright red .
Zhao Hai could see glazed tiles on top of this hall . The flashing lights of these tiles looked dazzling .
Zhao Hai made two turns outside the great hall . He couldn’t find anything else that was special . There was a plaque that was hung on the front of the hall . However, the characters used to write on this plaque was something that was foreign to Zhao Hai . He couldn’t understand even a single word of it .
Outside the palace were 99 stone steps . Zhao Hai counted them as the blood needles proceeded to enter the hall .
Upon entering the Great Hall, Zhao Hai was met with a shock . Passing through the gate, one could see a copper cauldron . Who knows how long this copper cauldron existed . It was carved with intricate patterns . There were flowers, mountains, birds, insects, and everything else that can be found in a world .
However, Zhao Hai’s attention wasn’t on this copper cauldron . Inside this Great Hall, besides the copper cauldron, was an extremely huge heart floating in place!
This giant heart was 40 meters high, 100 meters long and a few dozen meters wide . It almost filled the entire great hall .
Zhao Hai sat in the Space as he stared blankly at the floating heart . After some time, Zhao Hai managed to calm down . Then his figure moved as his body appeared inside the Great Hall . Upon seeing the heart in close distance, Zhao Hai was met with an even bigger shock .
The flesh and blood of this heart was very fresh, each vein was clearly discernible . While Zhao Hai was carefully observing the heart, it suddenly moved, performing a full beating cycle . The sound of beating was like thunder to Zhao Hai’s ears . Zhao Hai was shaken, he didn’t expect this heart to still be alive, and beating!
When he saw this, Zhao Hai’s expression couldn’t help but change . Never even in his dreams would he expect to see a huge living heart like this . This was too inconceivable!
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but look around . He wanted to ascertain whether he had entered someone’s body and he just haven’t noticed it .
Unfortunately, Zhao Hai was met with the palace’s walls . However upon looking at the walls, Zhao Hai discovered that murals were painted on them .
Zhao Hai carefully inspected these murals . The drawings were very exquisite . Although this place was submerged underwater for who knows how long, the pictures were still quite vivid . This made Zhao Hai conclude that this palace was truly built with the thought of it being submerged underwater .
Zhao Hai browsed the murals, it seems like it was showing a story . Although there weren’t any writings for explanation, Zhao Hai could still understand it .
The first painting was of chaos, nothingness . Then there was a huge egg in this chaotic space . Inside this egg was a person . When this person grew up, he broke free of the egg . As he did so, he ended up splitting the heavens and the earth .
Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Hai’s body couldn’t help but shake . This was a story that was the same as Pangu’s story back on Earth .
What does this place have to do with Earth? While he thought about this, Zhao Hai’s heart couldn’t help but beat fiercely . He couldn’t help but look at the next drawings and follow on with the story . The body of this huge god turned into the mountainous earth . However, the story seems to have a deviation here . In this story, the being’s body didn’t completely become part of the earth . Instead, this being left behind his heart!
Different from the Chinese legend, this story didn’t include Lady Nuwa who created nature . Instead, when this being split the heavens and the earth, myriad beings begin to exist . Then a group of monkeys discovered this being’s heart and guarded it for generations . But then, the heart slowly transformed these monkeys . In the end, the monkeys completely evolved to become humans!
