The protagonist is obviously strong but very cautious

Chapter 2940 Golden Lake

Zheng Tuo followed Tiger Devourer Blade all the way.

The underground world is far, far larger than we imagine.

The entire underground world is a super-huge world, except that this world is located underground.

The two moved quickly, traversing a huge mine shaft.

The mine shaft, which is several kilometers in diameter, appears quite spacious at this moment.

Below the mine is a main road, where miners are extracting spirit iron.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Tuo was filled with curiosity.

He had never seen such a special place before.

It's unbelievable that someone is mining spirit iron ore veins so deep underground.

The quality of those spirit irons can be described as quite good.

What an amazing underground world!
The two of them continued on their way.

As they continue to move forward, the surrounding pressure grows ever greater.

No wonder Tiger Devourer Blade said that only those who break through the walls can go to Golden Lake.

The surrounding pressure is constantly increasing. If a half-step Breakthrough Realm expert were to descend upon this place, they would probably be crushed to death by the terrifying pressure.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination, Golden Lake.

Looking at the enormous golden lake in front of him, Zheng Tuo couldn't help but sigh, "This is no golden lake, it's clearly a golden sea."

Golden Lake is enormous, seemingly without end. Standing beside it, one has an indescribable feeling.

His figure flickered, attempting to hover above Golden Lake to assess its size and scale.

"No!"

Tiger Devourer Blade immediately spoke up to stop Zheng Tuo.

"what?"

Zheng Tuo immediately stopped moving.

“Godslayer, Golden Lake is no ordinary place. You must not leap onto it. No, you should try it out yourself.”

Tiger Devourer had clearly suffered a loss here, and now he was informing Zheng Tuo to be careful.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tuo cautiously approached the Golden Lake, then slowly reached out and hovered his palm above it.

hum!
A sharp, incomparable metallic force touched his palm.

Suddenly.

Zheng Tuo felt a stinging pain in his palm, as if he were being pricked by needles.

Now that he is a primordial being, his physical strength even surpasses that of a primordial treasure, yet he is still able to feel pain.

He believed that if Tiger Devourer Blade hadn't stopped him, he would have been severely injured or even killed if he had rashly appeared above Golden Lake.

The Wallbreakers are not immortal and invincible beings; they are merely more powerful beings.

There are some places in the primordial immortal realm that even those who break through the barriers dare not venture into lightly.

Because history has proven that certain places in the primordial immortal realm are enough to kill those who break through the barriers.

And this Golden Lake should be one of them.

"Godslayer, you're looking for a place with abundant metal elemental power. How about this place?"

Zheng Tuo nodded with great satisfaction.

Although the Golden Lake poses a threat to those who break through barriers, the metallic power it contains is simply unprecedented.

Thinking of this, Zheng Tuo's heart stirred.

He activated the metal elemental power within his body, enveloping his entire body with it, and then stretched out his palm again, hovering above the golden lake.

hum!
The power of the Golden Lake was applied to his palm, and the two metal-based forces immediately merged together. In the end, it did not cause him any harm.

it works!

Zheng Tuo was overjoyed!

The metal element power he controls is innate metal element power, which is one of the most fundamental powers in the primordial immortal realm.

Since this golden lake appears in the primordial immortal realm, it must conform to the power system of the primordial immortal realm.

In other words, he can protect himself by relying on his metal elemental power, thus avoiding being affected by the power of the Golden Lake.

That's the case.

With a thought, he began to absorb the power of the Golden Lake for his own use.

next moment!
Zheng Tuo's palm became like a black hole, beginning to devour the metallic energy in the Golden Lake for his own use.

feasible!

Zheng Tuo was overjoyed.

The innate five elements Dao patterns he controlled were indeed extraordinary, as they could actually absorb the power of the Golden Lake for his own use.

"you!"

Tiger Devourer was stunned by what he saw, his words filled with shock!

He had been guided to this place and had tried to enter the Golden Lake to investigate, but the end result was that he almost perished as a result.

The power within the Golden Lake was terrifying; even though I was a supreme innate treasure, I was almost shattered by its power.

But what's up with this god-slaying kid?!
Not only was it unaffected by the Golden Lake, but it was also absorbing the metallic energy from the Golden Lake to strengthen itself.

Tiger Devourer Blade was unaware of what happened when Zheng Tuo underwent the tribulation of the Wall Breaker.

He was unaware that Zheng Tuo possessed innate Five Elements Dao patterns.

If he knew what Zheng Tuo had gone through, he probably wouldn't be so shocked.

hum!
Zheng Tuo withdrew his hand, then turned his head to look at a certain place behind him.

A few breaths later, the three elders of the Jin family rushed over.

Brush brush!
The three elders of the Jin family arrived at the scene.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist Godslayer, what a coincidence, we meet again." Elder Jin greeted Zheng Tuo warmly.

Both the old man with silver and the old man with copper were very polite and went up to strike up a conversation.

"skillful?"

Tiger Devourer clearly did not believe this was a coincidence.

In Tiger Devourer's view, the three elders of the Jin family had clearly come on purpose.

“It’s quite a coincidence that we meet here, fellow Daoists. Could it be that you three have also come to Golden Lake to cultivate?” Zheng Tuo asked politely.

"No, we did not come here to cultivate. Although there is countless metal-elemental power in this Golden Lake, it is too dangerous for us three elders to approach easily. However..."

"But what?" Tiger Devourer asked warily.

"To be honest, the Golden Imperial Palace I mentioned before is located beneath this Golden Lake."

"The Golden Emperor's palace is located beneath the Golden Lake?"

Zheng Tuo looked in surprise at the shimmering, golden lake that sparkled with countless rays of light.

"Actually, from a certain perspective, the Golden Lake was formed because the Golden Emperor's palace is located here," Elder Yin said.

"What do you mean by that?" Zheng Tuo wanted to know more.

“It’s very simple,” Elder Yin said. “Because the Golden Emperor’s Palace itself is an extremely powerful magic treasure, it is constantly absorbing the metal elemental power from the underground world to strengthen itself. Over time, it has formed a golden lake.”

"Fellow Daoist Godslayer, look if you don't believe me." As Elder Jin spoke, he suddenly unleashed a beam of golden light, piercing a trench in the ground beneath their feet.

From those ravines and gullies, one can see that tiny metallic rivers are flowing into the Golden Lake.

As Elder Yin said, the Golden Emperor's Palace is constantly absorbing the metallic energy from the underground world.

Upon seeing that this was true, Zheng Tuo was shocked.

What shocked him was just how vast the underground world was, that it could withstand the absorption of the Golden Emperor's Palace for such a long period of time.

To know.

The Golden Emperor is a legendary figure, buried in the annals of history. Few people in the primordial immortal realm have heard of his story.

Based on this calculation, the Golden Emperor's Palace has probably absorbed millions of years, or even longer.

Based on this calculation, just how big is this underground world that it can withstand the Golden Emperor's Palace absorbing millions of years of time?

"Hmph! You three little guys, your story-making skills are truly exceptional!" Tiger Devourer Blade suddenly retorted at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Tiger Devours, what do you mean by that?" Elder Jin asked, puzzled.

“I once followed the White Tiger God to travel the world and saw the Golden Emperor’s palace with my own eyes. That palace is not here. Why are you lying and saying that the Golden Emperor’s palace is here?”

The Tiger Devouring Blade is the real antique.

He once followed the White Tiger God to explore the primordial immortal realm, and what he saw and heard was beyond the knowledge of ordinary people.

lie!

Zheng Tuo looked at the three elders of the Jin family.

He appeared calm towards the third son of the Jin family, but in reality, he was wary of him.

Even though he has now stepped into the ranks of those who break through barriers, he still understands the meaning of the saying "there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."

That's why he became more low-key.

Being low-key does not mean believing what the other party says.

He might have shown his belief on his face and in his words before, but now he keeps his belief in his heart and doesn't show it.

"Fellow Daoists, I hope you can give me an explanation," Zheng Tuo asked the three elders of the Jin family.

“Fellow Daoist who kills gods, Fellow Daoist who devours tigers, please do not misunderstand, everything we say is true,” Elder Jin said.

“We can swear to the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Immortal Realm that what we say is true, and that the Golden Emperor’s palace is located below the Golden Lake.”

"If you two don't believe me, you can come down with the three of us and see for yourselves," Elder Tong said.

"Go down?" Tiger Devourer's Blade revealed hostility. "I can't even get close to Golden Lake, let alone go down. You three, do you intend to trap and kill us here?"

"Fellow Daoist Tiger Devourer, you misunderstand. How could the three of us do such a thing?" Elder Jin hurriedly explained.

"No, there are things you three can't do." Tiger Devourer Blade was very displeased with the three elders of the Jin family.

Just as the two sides were arguing.

“Senior Tiger Devourer, I believe the three of you will not use Golden Lake to trap and kill us.” Zheng Tuo’s words drew the attention of the others.

"What Fellow Daoist Slayer said is absolutely right." Old Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Godslayer brat, what do you mean by that?" Tiger Devourer Blade said with displeasure.

"Senior Tiger Devourer, please calm down. The reason I believe what you three fellow Daoists say is because you know my background and would not risk attacking me."

"What is your background?" Tiger Devourer was unaware of Zheng Tuo's tribulation on that day.

"To be honest, when I was undergoing the tribulation of the Breaker, I invited more than a dozen Breaker friends to protect me, including a senior like Bai Ze who was at the fifth level of the Breaker realm."

Upon hearing this, Tiger Devourer was greatly shocked.

"Bai Ze isn't dead?"

Tiger Devourer Blade clearly recognized Bai Ze and was even more surprised that Bai Ze was still alive.

"Senior Bai Ze is indeed still alive."

"This old guy is really tough; he's still alive." Tiger Devourer Blade and Bai Ze clearly know each other and seem to have a good relationship.

On the other hand, the three elders in golden armor immediately realized that Zheng Tuo was speaking to the three of them.

Just as Elder Jin had said to his two younger brothers, Elder Yin and Elder Tong, Zheng Tuo had a powerful background, and no one dared to easily touch him, because that would bring endless disaster.

According to the three elders in golden armor, Zheng Tuo has an older brother named Shi Xian, who is a peerless ruthless person who killed a Wall Breaker while only at the half-step Wall Breaker level.

He also had a friend named Jian Shisan, with whom he had an extraordinary relationship.

Jian Shisan also had a Daoist partner named Ye Xian, who was the number one person in the Sword Sect.

In the eyes of the three elders of the Jin family, this god-slayer was someone who should not be easily provoked, let alone killed.

“Fellow Daoist Godslayer, Fellow Daoist Tiger Devourer, the three of us merely wish to enter the Golden Emperor’s Palace to search for the Golden Flower. If we find it, we will share it equally. Fellow Daoist Godslayer, would you like to explore further?”

Old Jin looked at the golden lake in front of them.

Zheng Tuo was eager to explore the secrets of the Golden Emperor's Palace in the Golden Lake, but he had more important matters to attend to.

The Golden Lake is definitely a good thing for him. He can build a city-state on the Golden Lake and then link it to his Five Elements Great World to help him enhance the power of the Five Elements Great World.

But now a problem has arisen.

The Golden Emperor's palace is located beneath the Golden Lake. Although the Golden Emperor has been gone for countless years, his palace likely possesses a spirit. Otherwise, it would not actively absorb the metal elemental power of the underground world to empower itself.

Would establishing a city-state on the Golden Lake bring me trouble?

If you set everything up perfectly, and then turn around and are targeted by the creatures in the Golden Emperor's palace, then you'll be in big trouble.

He had many speculations about this.

Ultimately, they decided to take a long-term approach.

"Fellow Daoists, give me some time, I need to think about it." Zheng Tuo said, and then left with Tiger Devouring Blade.

The three elders of the Jin family looked at each other.

"That Godslayer is really cautious. We've already told him so much, yet he still refuses to go to the Golden Emperor's Palace with us." Old Copper was quite displeased with this.

A man who breaks through barriers, how could he ever speak to others in such a humble manner?

"Third brother, please calm down. I believe that Fellow Daoist Godslayer will eventually agree to our request. After all, it is the Golden Flower, a Golden Flower that even a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Breakthrough Realm would covet."

Old Jin dreamed of obtaining the Golden Flower, because it was something that could prolong their lives.

"Brother, are we really going to have to share the Golden Flower with the God-Slaying Tiger?" Elder Yin clearly didn't want to do that.

The status of peerless elixirs in the hearts of those who break through barriers is even higher than that of primordial Dao patterns.

Once a person who breaks through the barrier reaches a certain level, they can no longer easily refine the original Dao patterns, and may even face life-threatening situations while refining them, as they must undergo tribulation.

In contrast, the peerless elixir can not only help those who break through barriers prolong their lives, but also improve their talents, making them stronger and able to refine more primordial Dao patterns.

That's why Jin Yong was so certain that the god-slayer would definitely agree to his suggestion.

"Brother, that Godslayer said he needs to think about it. He's not planning to go to the Golden Emperor's Palace alone and monopolize the Golden Flower, is he?" Old Copper had such thoughts.

"Third brother, there's no need to worry. Putting everything else aside, just the special nature of Golden Lake alone makes it impossible for the two of them to enter. If they can't even enter Golden Lake, how can they expect to see the Golden Emperor's Palace? Besides, there's more than just the Golden Emperor's Palace beneath Golden Lake!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Silver and Elder Copper couldn't help but show signs of tension.

Obviously.

During their search for the Golden Lake, the three elders encountered some unknown and terrifying creatures.

at the same time.

Somewhere in Golden Lake.

Zheng Tuo looked at the Golden Lake, which was shimmering with golden light.

He immediately dispatched a Daoist avatar to investigate the situation in the Golden Lake.
