Chapter 4040 The Lake

King Ieuan stared intently at the metal branch for a while. Finally, it couldn't contain itself and blurted, "Zen, what's the use of this thing?"

Even Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Snake Goddess, and the Eternal Realm Hunters were curious.

After all, they couldn't understand the conversation between Zen and Campbell.

"This metal branch can be used to make a Pure Sky Platform," Zen answered. "It should also be able to repair this passageway."

"Really?" Fuxi couldn't conceal the excitement in his voice.

"Every cloud has a silver lining," the Snake Goddess said with a gentle smile. She wasn't surprised that Zen's luck was taking a turn for the better.

"I once sold two such branches," King Ieuan said wistfully. "Everyone thought that they were useless. They were so hard to sell!"

Everyone glanced at King Ieuan speechlessly.

Even Zen was a little surprised, but he quickly understood why.

The metal branches had an extraordinary appearance. According to Campbell, two thousand Eternal Twilight Seeds grew into metal branches at that time, but they were not able to form Pure Sky Platforms.

These metal branches were difficult to destroy, so it wasn't unusual for them to show up on the Other Shore.

If a creature obtained one, it was inevitable that they wouldn't be able to unravel the mysteries within, so their best bet was to just sell the metal branch. It was not strange that King Ieuan came across one or two of these in the past.

What was important now was there was hope to repair the Pure Sky Platform, but first, they needed to leave the passageway.

Campbell took everyone back through the passageway. When they reached the bottom, they reached a dead end. The entrance was nowhere to be found!

"Boil the water," Campbell ordered.

From Zen's inner world, Zhurong was about to make a move but then Pearson suddenly said, "Let me do it."

As he spread out his hands, blood red flames blossomed around his body.

Like magic, the entrance that had vanished now reappeared!

Everyone shuffled through the entrance and stepped into the cave. The pool in the cave was connected to the passageway, so the water in the pool was also boiling.

"Zen, take your companions out of the pool," Campbell barked.

Zen nodded and took everyone to leave the pool.

Once the last person

speculated, "Maybe the end of this passageway is connected to a water source. When the new passageway was formed, the water naturally flowed down quickly to fill the entire passageway."

King Ieuan was somewhat skeptical. When it swam to the end of the passageway with the crowd, it was surprised to find that they ended up in another pool of water.

When they finally reached the surface of the water, they all came out with a splash. As they took in their surroundings, their eyes widened in surprise.

It was just as the Snake Goddess said, they were in the center of a lake.

The Night View Island was a very huge Pure Sky Platform. Although it was not as big as the main one, it was over a thousand times larger than the one Zen and the others had been to before. The lake in the center of the island occupied more than half of its area.

The lake was surrounded by grayish mountains. In the night, these mountains were like demons and monsters lying on the ground, emitting a quiet and unsettling aura.

Although this place was not the main Pure Sky Platform, it was still within the Jade Pure Realm.

According to the information they had obtained so far, the Treacherous Beings should come from the Jade Pure Realm.

So it wouldn't have been surprising if they encountered powerful Treacherous Beings here in the Night View Island.

After they left the surface of the water, they flew closely to the mirror like lake. Everyone, including Campbell, tried to move as quietly as possible, so as to not draw any attention to themselves.
