One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

However, these weren't problems Sun Yao should be thinking about right now. His priority was figuring out how to get through the Hundred Immortals Formation before him. There were at least several dozen immortals, if not a hundred. A group of animals, or rather, demon immortals, appeared before Sun Yao. Among them were weasels, foxes, and hedgehogs, but the most conspicuous were a dozen or so enormous snake demons.

"What do you all want to say to me?" Although the scene before him was quite large, Sun Yao was not intimidated at all. Not to mention that he had already obtained the permission of Second Master Liu to come to Tianchi, even if a fight broke out, he might not be able to win.

"No one is allowed to trespass into the Heavenly Pool, a restricted area. Not only are you an outsider, but even disciples of the sect are not permitted to enter without permission." The voice that answered Sun Yao's question came from a gigantic python. In truth, Sun Yao wasn't sure if it was a python; he only mistook it for one because of its enormous size. Remember the snake under Sasuke's feet in Naruto? This is about the same size.

"Although I am an outsider, I have already told someone about my trip to Tianchi. Oh, I shouldn't say I told the demons."

"You said that? Who did you say that to? Who gave you permission to come? What gives them the right to let you in?" The giant snake clearly didn't believe Sun Yao's words. After all, Sun Yao wasn't a disciple of the Ma family; who could he possibly have the right to talk to?

As the two were talking, the ground began to tremble slightly. The tremors then grew stronger, and Sun Yao and all the demons present could feel them. However, the source of the tremors was not below the mountain, but above it; in other words, the culprit was coming down from the mountain.

All the demons and Sun Yao looked up at the mountain, and in a short while, a gigantic snake appeared in their field of vision. How to describe this snake? It was far larger than the snake that had just spoken to Sun Yao. Just like the difference between the snake under Sasuke's feet and Manda, this snake was almost the same size as Manda.

“Men, let him through. This kid told me that I, the old man, allow him to go to Tianchi, so you don’t need to stop him here. Besides, this kid can fight me to a draw when I’m at full strength, you probably can’t stop him.”

The giant snake spoke in a human voice, which, unlike the expected deafening boom, was actually quite deep and aged. Sun Yao immediately realized the snake's identity; it seemed to be none other than Master Liu the Second, whom he had just fought at the foot of the mountain.

"Oh, what's this? I've even alarmed Second Master Liu to come down and fetch me personally?" Sun Yao took a step forward, and the next second he disappeared before the demons' eyes. When the demon immortals saw him again, he was already standing in front of Second Master Liu.

"How could I not come to greet you? These younger folks don't know you. If a fight breaks out, wouldn't you beat them all to a pulp?"

"What are you saying, Second Grandfather? I'm not as warlike as you. At most, I'll knock them out or something, but I wouldn't let your descendants get hurt, would I?" Sun Yao joked as he walked towards Second Grandfather Liu, then sat cross-legged on Second Grandfather Liu's head.

"Second Grandfather, since you've come to greet me personally, please give me a ride. I call you Second Grandfather after all, so it shouldn't be a big deal for someone of your seniority to help a junior like me." Although Sun Yao said this, he simply sat on Second Grandfather Liu's head like a rogue, not giving Second Grandfather Liu a chance to object.

"How did I end up with such a little rascal like you? Oh well, I promised to let you into the Heavenly Pool anyway, so what's wrong with giving you a ride? But lately, that old dragon has been acting strangely, constantly absorbing the earth's fiery energy from the bottom of the Heavenly Pool, which only increases its burden. I'm wondering if that old dragon is planning a desperate fight. Be careful when you enter the Heavenly Pool later. It would be best if you could find out the old dragon's movements, but the most important thing is to save your own life." Grandpa Liu was helpless about this; after all, he had brought this little rascal here himself. However, he still reminded Sun Yao to be careful of the fire dragon at the bottom of the Heavenly Pool, because the fire dragon's behavior had been rather strange lately.

"Second Grandfather, don't worry. With my skill of shrinking the distance between the earth and the inch just now, what situation could prevent me from escaping?! Since this fire dragon has made some moves, we must investigate thoroughly before we can make any preparations. I've found a good opportunity to go down to the Heavenly Pool this time. Not only can I see the rare dragon, but I can also provide you with some assistance."

Sun Yao then lay down directly on Grandpa Liu's head, choosing to lie flat. After all, Grandpa Liu's head was quite large, enough to be used as a large bed. He had gotten up too early this morning and planned to take a short nap on Grandpa Liu's head. Grandpa Liu didn't mind at all, and instead carried Sun Yao as they wound their way towards the mountain peak where Tianchi was located. Only the demon immortals were left looking at each other in bewilderment. They hadn't expected that such an outsider would be so familiar with Grandpa Liu. After all, even the most outstanding disciple of the Ma family in this area wouldn't sit directly on Grandpa Liu's head like that, let alone use Grandpa Liu's head as a bed.

Meanwhile, about fifteen minutes later, Second Grandfather Liu had brought Sun Yao to the edge of Heavenly Pool. However, Second Grandfather Liu was in no hurry to wake Sun Yao and have him go down to Heavenly Pool. There were not only fire dragons at the bottom of Heavenly Pool, but also treacherous underground fire veins. Sun Yao was resting now, replenishing his energy. Second Grandfather Liu wanted him to rest well before going down to Heavenly Pool, which would make him safer.

About 15 minutes later, Sun Yao slowly woke up from Liu Er Taiye's head. What came into view was the calm and mirror-like Tianchi Lake, which reflected the blue sky and cloud shadows, like a beautiful painting.

"Is this Tianchi?" Sun Yao murmured to himself, gazing at the beautiful scenery.

"That's right, kid, this place is Changbai Mountain Pool. Have you thought it through before going down? If you regret it, I can take you back. Of course, I won't laugh at you."

"What nonsense are you spouting, Second Grandfather? I came here specifically to go down to Tianchi Lake. What's our plan? Should I just swim down or what?"

"You think you can still swim? Can you hold your breath for that long?"

"Of course, I can't hold out for that long in one breath, but I can use water-repelling magic. I can isolate myself by enveloping myself in the Golden Light Mantra, and I can also achieve internal breathing through the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As long as I keep absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, I can maintain the Golden Light Mantra. Just around this Heavenly Pool, I can already feel the density of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. I don't even dare to imagine what it would be like inside the Heavenly Pool."
