Mad Doctor No. 9

Wang Tian waved his hand and stopped ten meters away from Lucas. His gaze went directly past Lucas and landed on the three old men guarding the well.

"Three seniors," he shouted, "this fake well modification equipment is a decoy you deliberately left behind, isn't it? You did this to buy time and attract more people."

The old man in the middle opened his eyes, somewhat surprised: "Young man, how did you know?"

"The direction of energy flow," Wang Tian said calmly. "The equipment intercepted ninety percent of the energy, but less than one-tenth penetrated deep underground. The remaining eighty percent was stored in the runes—a 'bomb' powerful enough to level the entire valley. If it is forcibly dismantled or removed, it will explode along with the thief."

Lucas's expression shifted, and he looked down at the instrument on his chest. Sure enough, on the energy analysis chart on the screen, a faint peak that he had overlooked had appeared!

Wang Tian continued, "The true entrance to the Well of Life is three hundred meters below this fake well, isn't it? To open this passage, you need pure life force or star power as a key."

The three old men stood up at the same time, their cloudy eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Kid, who exactly are you?"

Wang Tian did not answer, his right palm pointing upwards. A surge of pure silver star power rose up, forming a small star vortex.

Upon seeing this, the three old men trembled and knelt down in unison, their voices shaking slightly:

"The Star Lord's legacy?!"

"The Guardian Clan pays homage to the Star Lord!"

This scene stunned everyone present.

The six members of the Eternal Life Society subconsciously looked at Lucas, only to see the muscles on his metallic face twitching and the alarms on the monitors beeping continuously—the auras of the three old men were also visibly surging, from their previous dimness to the peak of the Transformation Realm, and even showing faint signs of a breakthrough!

Lucas hissed, "This is impossible... According to the records, the well keeper is just a walking corpse, it can't be..."

"Because we suppressed our cultivation to ninety percent." The old man in the center slowly stood up, his previously hunched back straightening, and his cloudy eyes regained the clarity of a young man. "Just to wait for the real 'key' to arrive."

He stared intently at Wang Tian: "A thousand years. Since the Star Lord's passing and the sealing of Kunlun, my clan has been ordered to guard this Well of Life, passing it down through generations, awaiting the emergence of the power of the stars. Young friend, you have a vortex of stars in your palm; could it be a manifestation of the 'Ancient Scripture of the Starry Sky'?"

Wang Tian was slightly moved. The "Astrological Body Tempering Technique" he cultivated, after systematic improvements, originated from the inheritance of an ancient star lord. So he nodded: "You could say that."

"God bless our race!" The three elders cried, tears welling in their eyes. "The Star Lord once said that on the day the stellar power reappears, Kunlun will be reborn. Young friend, please come in with us!"

"Stop them!" Lucas shouted.

Six members of the Eternal Life Society launched an attack simultaneously, unleashing beams of energy, toxic smoke, and high-frequency shockwaves towards Wang Tian and the well guardian. But the three old men simultaneously sneered and stomped their feet in unison.

The runes on the black stone slabs on the ground suddenly shone with golden light, transforming into countless golden chains that shot out from the ground and tightly bound the six members of the Eternal Life Society.

The chains contained the power of an ancient restriction, and these modified beings had no ability to resist and were directly suppressed.

Seeing this, Lucas did not hesitate at all. He turned around and rushed towards the fake well, wanting to forcibly seize the conversion device—even if he couldn't take it with him, he absolutely couldn't leave it behind!

"Stubborn to the end." Wang Tian raised his hand and grabbed at the void.

"Starfield, seal off!"

An invisible force field completely froze within a ten-meter radius around Lucas. His metallic body was suspended in mid-air, a look of terror still lingering on his face.

Wang Tian stepped forward, took down the precision instrument and the black cube, and then placed his palm on the man's chest.

"Purifying Star Flame, Burn!"

Silver flames burrowed into Lucas's body through Wang Tian's palm, burning backwards along the metal tentacles.

Lucas let out a miserable howl as the metallic patterns on his body rapidly melted and evaporated, revealing the dark flesh beneath. In just a few breaths, he was forced back to his original form from his modified state, collapsing to the ground, barely alive.

Wang Tian calmly said, "I'll spare your life. Go back and tell the 'Apostle' that Kunlun is not someone he can touch. Next time, I will personally pay him a visit."

After saying that, he ignored the seriously injured Lucas and turned to the well keeper: "Senior, please lead the way."

The three elders simultaneously formed hand seals and chanted ancient incantations. The silver metal wall at the mouth of the fake well slowly rotated, sinking downwards to reveal a straight staircase leading down. A soft, milky-white glow emanated from the passageway walls, and a rich life force surged forth, invigorating anyone who inhaled it.

Wang Tian instructed, "Qin Feng, you two stay outside and keep watch, clean up the scene. Master Zhang and Master Li, come down with me. The rest of you, guard the entrance."

"yes!"

Wang Tian, ​​along with Zhang Qingwei and Li Xuanfeng, entered the passage under the guidance of the three well guardians.

The staircase seemed endless, stretching downwards. The walls on either side gradually transformed from rock into translucent crystal, sealing within various ancient creatures and plant fossils, like a time tunnel leading to the distant past.

After walking for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up. It was an indescribable underground space.

The dome is a hundred meters high and is inlaid with countless spontaneous crystals, as dazzling as the starry sky.

The ground is covered with pure white jade stones, and in the middle is a spring about three meters in diameter. The spring water is pale gold, constantly churning, and exuding a breathtaking vitality.

Around the spring, many strange and exotic flowers and plants that had never been heard of before grew. Some were like jade carvings, while others burned like flames, exuding fragrance and spiritual energy.

"This is the true Well of Life."

The old man said in a deep voice, "It is also one of the core nodes of the Kunlun Spirit Vein. A single drop of its water can bring the dead back to life, but the immense vitality it contains is beyond the capacity of a mortal body. If an ordinary person drinks it, they will immediately explode and die."

Wang Tian approached the well, bent down, and observed carefully. Various illusions appeared on the surface of the spring water from time to time: plants growing, flowers blooming, life being born, and the cycle of life... as if it were a condensation of all the secrets of the evolution of life.

He could sense that this ancient well was connected to the earth's veins in the Kunlun Mountains, and even more so to a certain origin deep within the earth.

The Eternal Life Society's desire to seize it is probably not just about "creating a god," but also about using it to control Earth's life cycle system.
