The ghost emperor Zhou Qi mused for a while, saying, "I am here just to guard the Jiuquan Spring, and this news is known to few. But how do you know it?"
Zhang Yan replied with said with a smile, "I can't tell you about it. And I also know its effect, so I come here to save my friend."
"But the water is very important to the Huangquan Road. It is said that no one has ever gained the water except for the Human Emperor. And I got to know it only when I took over the things of the last ghost emperor, so how do you know it?" Zhou Qi was still curious.
Zhang Yan scratched his head in embarrassment, and answered, "I once got an ancient book, which records many stories of the Human Emperor, and got to know the Huangquan Spring in it. What can I do to make me enter it?"
"Why did you suddenly become so draggy after you became the ghost emperor? Just tell me, will you let us enter or not?" The Anti-soul Beast blamed impatiently.
Vexatious, Zhou Qi responded, "I can let you in, but the pool is not as simple as it seems. As the center of the Huangquan Road, it contained strong yin that can erode warriors to death. So, you'd better not to go into it."
"Even I dare not to draw near the pool, for I can't resist the yin in it either!" It continued to warn.
The Anti-soul Beast began to hesitate as well, after all, it was a matter of death, related to not only Zhang Yan, but also itself. If Zhang Yan die in the pool, so will it, hence, it fell into silence.
However, Zhang Yan didn't even think about it, replying immediately, "Don't worry! I will pass through it successfully!"
He went to the pool, and turned around to the Anti-soul Beast, "You don't have to worry about me! I know the method! And you should be responsible to take care of Meng Yao! Wait for me here!"
Meng Yao suddenly shouted, "Take care!"
"No worries!" Zhang Yan revealed a confident smile.
The reason why he got so confident was that the Purifying Lotus had already told him that its energy was able to resist the erosion of the yin, and the Huamn Emperor could successfully gain the water of the Huangquan Spring exactly due to its energy.
Just as Zhang Yan finished uttering, he jumped into the pool directly, then he suddenly felt a lot of yin from all directions, much more powerful than the ghost gas. But to his surprise, before the Purifying Lotus released its energy to wrap him, his Asura spiritual energy began to shape a shield itself around him.
The surrounding yin was completely blocked by his Asura spiritual energy. But as he got deeper in the pool, the yin denser, quickly consuming his energy. Abruptly when he felt that his spiritual energy was almost run out, the white energy of the Purifying Lotus burst out from his Knowledge Ocean, covering him to isolate him with the yin, enabling him to dive into deeper.
After fifteen minutes, he reached the ground, which made him very comfortable.
He began to inspected around, surprised to find that he was at the bottom of the pool, and the pool was right above his head, but there seemed to be a layer of glass, blocking the water to drip down.
Curiosities struck Zhang Yan, so he asked, "Why can the water be suspended there?"
"Uh, I don't know why either. The world is so big with plenty of mysteries, and I am not omnipotent to explain everything." replied the Purifying Lotus.
Looking around, Zhang Yan found that there were nine springs in front of him, occupying the eight directions and the center, and the water from the outer eight was flowing toward the center one and finally gathered in it.
The water from the outer eight was very clear, but after flowing into the central one, it suddenly turned into yellow, which looked muddy.
