Chapter 571: Jingluo Lake, Mermaid Array
Han Jing very graciously clenched his fist: "Okay, master!"
Ghost Ancestor smiled with satisfaction!
Lan Ling rolled his eyes, indeed he was not the favored disciple!
He circled back to the table and pointed to the location of Flame Mountain: "This here is the Spirit Flame Sect, the middle line is Yunxi, and this area is Jingluo Lake."
Lan Ling’s finger brushed over Jingluo Lake, and suddenly, a golden light appeared on the map, amidst the light, a miniature version of Jingluo Lake’s entire view emerged before them.
Everyone couldn’t help but marvel, Ghost Ancestor commented: "In the Spirit Cultivation Realm, there are artifact refiners who can make Cloudscape Maps, but only Yun Peng can make them so exquisite and grand."
So he truly coveted Old Man Yun’s Cloudscape Map for a long time!
Humph, once all the troubles are solved, he will definitely ask Yun Peng to make one for him!
"Look, this is Jingluo Lake," Lan Ling said.
Han Jing and An Chuxue were both seeing such a magical sight for the first time; it was even more impressive than the modern high-tech they’ve seen, but...
Han Jing looked puzzled: "This lake doesn’t have anything special, and it’s just a lake, without land in it, how do you build a house?"
"Little Jing zi, do you know why Jingluo Lake is called Jingluo Lake?" Lan Ling said.
Han Jing...
"I’d be a ghost to know that!"
An Chuxue poked Lan Ling: "Alright, stop keeping us in suspense, hurry up and tell!"
Lan Ling explained: "The name ’Jing’ comes from the fact that the lake water is calm and ripple-free all year round, like a mirror surface, seemingly able to reflect all things in the world. And the name ’Luo’ is derived from a name."
"A name?" Han Jing’s eyes widened: "Whose name? A person’s or a ghost’s?"
Lan Ling shook his finger: "Neither human nor ghost."
An Chuxue asked curiously: "Then could it be a demon?"
"Not a demon either."
Han Jing...
An Chuxue...
They both decided to keep quiet and listen to him finish.
"It is a woman from the Merfolk Clan named Ting Luo. Merfolk are mystical beings among fish; humans can become divine through spiritual connection, fish have similarly spiritual beings, and the Merfolk Clan are one of the most gifted races among them. They have unique cultivation methods, those with high cultivation possess powerful strength and can transform into legs like humans, except they live in the deep undersea and rarely come ashore. A thousand years ago, Ting Luo met a man from the Spirit Cultivation Realm at sea, fell in love, and left her home to follow him into the Spirit Cultivation Realm. However, the good times did not last long; on their wedding day, the man was killed by an enemy. Simple and kind-hearted Ting Luo couldn’t face reality and wept daily holding her lover’s body. Finally, one day, she buried her lover, then wandered through the Spirit Cultivation Realm, killed the enemy, and was later hunted by the enemy’s followers. She realized that revenge leads nowhere, so she abandoned her hatred and chose the most beautiful lake in the Spirit Cultivation Realm to build a crystal-like palace. She then slept with the palace at the bottom of the lake."
"Since then, that lake has been called Jingluo Lake. Throughout history, many have targeted Jingluo Lake, but it is said that Ting Luo set up an Array in the lake, and anyone who attempted to disturb her slumber met a tragic end. There were even Purple Level experts who tried to break into the Array but only managed to flee in embarrassment, seeing nothing. Thus Jingluo Lake is also known as the Mermaid Array, and to this day, no one has broken this Array."
