Chapter 428: The Yin-Yang Spring, the Secret Treasure
After seeing that Vincent had raised his left hand again, Dave could not help but exclaim, “You’re crazy! Your right hand was injured just now. How could your left hand ignore the dangers of the cold pond?”
Vincent smiled slightly and said, “That’s hard to say!”
He extended his left hand into the cold pond at the same time.
This time, Vincent did not use his fingertips to touch the surface of the water. Instead, he extended his entire palm and most of his forearm into the cold pond.
Countless bubbles instantly appeared on the surface of the cold spring water. Immediately after that, the entire cold pond looked like it was boiling. It seemed as if the cold spring water wanted to jump up and swallow Vincent’s arm whole. However, Vincent did not show any expression. He acted as if he could not feel any pain.
Dave looked at Vincent nervously and worriedly. He was shocked speechless by the calm expression on Vincent’s face. He could not imagine how a normal person could ignore the harm brought by the cold spring water!
Vincent lowered his head to look at the bubbling water in the pond. After looking at it for a while, he felt a little bored. He then pulled out his left hand and raised it above his head to examine it carefully.
Other than an even shinier golden light appearing on Vincent’s left hand, he did not suffer the slightest bit of injury!
Dave could not help but exclaim in shock, “That’s amazing. Why is your left hand so strong?”
Vincent smiled slightly and did not say anything. This was because he did not want to mention his left hand to Dave.
The Hand of God was indeed powerful. It had an indestructible hardness and could also display the terrifying divine might. However, Vincent considered the origin of the arm as a disgrace. This was because it was the arm that the Protoss had traded with him by force. It was a deal that Vincent absolutely could not refuse!
However, the world was always filled with blessings and calamities. Vincent had also obtained many benefits by relying on the Hand of God. For instance, it allowed him to kill Justin, who was heavily injured. This was all because of the high-ranking divine might within the Hand of God. The Hand of God possessed a divine skill that could suppress everything below level 90!
Vincent looked away from his left hand and turned to say to Dave, “This arm is not mine. I don’t want to explain to you its origin because once you know the story behind it, it is very likely that you will feel despair toward such a world!”
Dave looked at Vincent with a stunned expression.
Although he did not understand what Vincent meant by that, he believed that Vincent was definitely not joking with him.
He nodded and said in a deep voice, “I understand!”
Vincent once again turned his gaze toward the cold pond beneath his feet. He sighed softly, “Through our contact earlier, I can confirm that the cold pond is indeed just ordinary spring water. However, it is as cold as ice, as hard as iron, and as sharp as a flowing blade! Although I have yet to understand all the reasons behind this, the temperature of this spring water gives me a familiar feeling!”
Dave walked over to Vincent’s side and asked curiously, “Why is it familiar? Have you seen such spring water before?”
Vincent shook his head and said, “It’s not spring water, it’s the Origin Divine Earth! The temperature of this cold pond is extremely similar to the temperature of the Origin Divine Earth. Therefore, I suspect that this spring water is intertwined with the Origin Divine Earth that is underground. That is why it has the same temperature as the Earth’s origin! However, the sharp effect of the water is something that the Origin Divine Earth doesn’t have. So there must be some other secrets hidden behind it!”
Dave frowned and sighed, “Then what should we do now? Even if we know that there are secrets hidden under the spring water, we can’t go down! Why don’t we just open a space tunnel to go underground and investigate?”
Vincent shook his head and said, “Although we can use the space tunnel to go underground, if there’s no space underground, we can’t open the space door to travel around. So we’d better find out everything on the surface first and wait until we lock onto the target before going underground! And even if the two of us can’t touch the water, my left hand can. That’s already enough!”
As Vincent spoke, he extended his left hand into the cold pond again. After going deep into the pond, his arm turned slender and soft like a long snake. His arm began to dive into the depths of the pond.
Dave looked at Vincent’s long arm and could not help but shiver in fear. He looked at Vincent again. At that moment, Vincent looked like a monster in his eyes!
Vincent controlled his left hand and soon arrived at the source that was spewing out cold spring water. He was certain that there was only one entrance to the source located at the bottom of the entire cold pond as he did not see a gap in the other places.
Vincent flipped his wrist and his long arm instantly pierced into the spring.
When his Hand of God entered the spring, Vincent suddenly felt a downward suction from it. It sucked his arm into the depths of the ground in an instant.
Vincent frowned slightly and exclaimed, “So this is a Yin-Yang Spring. No wonder it’s so magical!”
Dave quickly asked, “What is a Yin-Yang Spring?”
Vincent immediately explained, “I once obtained some secret information from the skull of an ancient high-level creature. Its memories involved natural treasures scattered in various worlds. One of the treasures that were mentioned was this Yin-Yang Spring! The cold spring water erupting from below is like a process of continuous self-consumption. As the spring water continues to accumulate, it would flow down to lower areas around it.”
Vincent continued, “However, the Yin-Yang Spring is different. There is one yin and one yang in the same spring. The Yang force spews out the spring water while the Yin force sucks the cold spring water back into the ground. Therefore, this spring will never dry up!”
Dave could not help but nod after listening to Vincent’s explanation. He then frowned and asked, “It is indeed magical, but where is the treasure?”
Vincent stopped smiling and said in a deep voice, “In the memory of the immortals, this is how it is described. There must be a peerless treasure under the Yin-Yang Spring! So under this spring, there must be another world!”
Dave could not help but say excitedly, “So, there must be another space down there!”
Vincent shrugged his shoulders and said, “Not necessarily! At least, I haven’t touched a space without water yet!”
Dave could not help but look away. He held his chin with both hands and squatted by the pond. He was waiting for Vincent’s news.
Suddenly, Vincent let out a cry of surprise and sighed, “Found it!”
Dave immediately stood up and drew his weapon. He stared at the center of the cold pond nervously and asked in a low voice, “What did you find? Is there any danger?”
Vincent smiled and said, “Of course it’s a treasure! As for whether there’s any danger, I’m not too sure yet, but we really need to be on guard!”
After saying that, Vincent slowly withdrew his Hand of God. As he pulled his hand out from the pond, a sparkling and resplendent light suddenly illuminated the entire pond.
Dave looked at the light in the water and could not help but sigh, “What is this?”
Vincent controlled his left arm to return to its original state. He looked at the pearl-like object lying quietly in his hand and immediately blurted out, “This should be the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl! I didn’t expect that a peerless divine artifact could be nurtured in Elf World!”
Dave asked with a face full of curiosity, “What is the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl?”
Vincent held the pearl in front of Dave and said, “This is information obtained from the remnant consciousness of that high-level creature. When the metallic elements in a world are condensed together, they will form a Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl. However, this requires sufficient coincidence, a certain amount of luck, and a world that allows for nurture! Once the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl is formed, it will be incomparably hard and difficult to destroy. At the same time, it can release an endless amount of sharp aura and is indestructible. There is no need to forge it again. It can be regarded as a top-tier weapon!”
Dave looked at the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl that was glowing in Vincent’s hand. He could not help but rub his hands together and ask, “This thing is actually a weapon? But how are you going to use it? Could it be used to smash others?”
Vincent shook his head and said, “The Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl is equivalent to condensing the metallic elements of a world. It has its own spirituality. Only those it recognizes as its master can know how to use this divine weapon. You might be able to give it a try and see if you can obtain the approval of the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl!”
Dave looked at Vincent in surprise and asked, “You want me to give it a try? Such a powerful weapon, don’t you plan to keep it for yourself?”
Vincent smiled and said, “I’ve tried it long ago! But unfortunately, this pearl is not fated with me. Moreover, compared to the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl, I’m more accustomed to using a knife!”
Dave could not help but twitch his lips. He reached out his hand to touch the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl. Suddenly, a gust of strong wind immediately emerged from Vincent’s palm.
Dave felt countless cold blades cut across his palm. He felt as if his palm had been cut into pieces. He withdrew his hands in horror and said with a bitter face, “It seems that I’m not a suitable candidate for it either! Moreover, the elves have always found it difficult to control the metal elements. Even the Thunder Elves find it difficult to control the metal elements. Therefore, this thing might not be suitable for any elf!”
Vincent nodded and said, “It seems like it’s because of this that the metal elements in Elf World have been completely preserved underground resulting in the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl. Since all the elves have no fate with it, then I’ll put it away first. I’ll let Avril and Angelina try it later. If they can’t get the recognition of this pearl, then I can only melt it and fuse it together with the Return Journey of the Dead!”
Dave nodded indifferently and agreed with Vincent’s way of handling the matter.
Although Vincent had said that the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl was precious, to the elves, the most important things were the Origin Divine Earth and the Origin Divine Tree. Other than that, the other elements were not important to Elf World!
At that moment, the water gushing out from the spring suddenly stopped. Immediately after that, a whirlpool was formed in the cold pond causing all the water to flow back down into the spring below.
Dave could not help but exclaim, “What’s the situation? Could it be that after taking away the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl, this Yin-Yang Spring has completely lost its effectiveness?”
Vincent put the Tens of Thousands of Feet Pearl into his storage ring and said with a frown, “Even if the Yin-Yang Spring has lost its effectiveness, it should only spew out water and not absorb water instead. It’s impossible for it to only absorb water and not spew out water. It seems that something must have happened underground!”
