Cultivation Online novel Chapter 848

Chapter 848: Red Pond

"We have arrived at Red Pond… at least what's left of it." Yuan said as they approached this massive, dried up hole in the ground from the sky.

"This is the Red Pond? There's nothing red about this, and a pond should have water…" Feng Yuxiang raised her eyebrows when she saw the scene.

"Well, that was millions of years ago. That circle used to be a pond filled with red water. Rumors say the red water was actually human blood, and demons used to bathe and drink from it." Yuan sighed.

"Anyways, this proves that my memories can be trusted. What do you think?" He looked at Feng Yuxiang.

"I-I think so too…" She nodded.

"Let's take a look around."

Yuan descended from the sky a moment later, landing right beside the empty pond. However, upon closer inspection, the Red Pond wasn't completely empty, as there appeared to be human remains in the form of bones at the bottom of the pond.

He proceeded to stare at it with a dazed expression on his face.

Inside his mind, memories of the Red Pond flowed.

The pond was filled to the brim with crimson liquid that resembled blood, and there were hundreds of demons bathing within the water while the Divine Paragon spied on them from the sky.

'No... The rumor was true. The red water was human blood, and the bottom of this pond was filled with human remains.'

He could still feel the burning emotions the Divine Paragon felt when he first saw the scene of demons bathing in human blood and the horrendous scent that assaulted his nose.

'In order to keep this Red Pond filled, demons killed thousands of people every single day...'

After recalling these highly unpleasant memories, Yuan suddenly felt an urge to puke.

"Young Master, are you okay?" Feng Yuxiang asked him when she noticed his face becoming paler.

"Yes... I just recalled some unpleasant memories, that's all." He said.

Feng Yuxiang held a worried look on her face. Although she doesn't know what kind of memoires Yuan was seeing, she knew that it wasn't good for his mental health.

"Anyways, let's look around for that woman's son." Yuan used his divine sense to search for any clues.

"I couldn't find anything— not even a footprint. What about you, Feng Feng?" Yuan asked her a moment later.

She shook her head and said, "I didn't find anything either. This either means the woman was lying about her son, or her son never came to this area."

"Let's expand our search a little more before we come to any conclusions." Yuan said.

"Okay."

They returned to the air shortly after and began flying around the Red Pond.

About half an hour later, they gave up on the search when they found no clues and returned to the Red Pond.

"Let's forget about that woman's missing son... If he even exists..." Feng Yuxiang said.

Yuan sighed, "At the very least, we should let the mother know that we couldn't find him..."

"Okay." Feng Yuxiang nodded.

However, just as Yuan prepared to leave the scene, his body suddenly halted.

"Young Master? What are you waiting for?" Feng Yuxiang asked him from the sky.

After a moment of silence, a slight smile appeared on Yuan's face, and he spoke in a calm voice, "I can smell demons."
