Climbing the mountain

The pool's bottom was finally about to appear.

Ling Han exerted some more effort, and the Nine Heavens Flame blazed fiercely, evaporating the last bit of steam.

And now, the pool was empty. It was guaranteed that there would not be the slightest bit of liquid left.

Ling Han used the Divine Demon Sword like a spade, and began digging in the pool. This took him a further seven days, and only then did he manage to cleanly uproot the complex system of roots of the Celestial Bamboo, which he then stowed into the Black Tower.

What was unfortunate was that even the Black Tower could not nurture this Celestial Bamboo, unless it had gained its own intelligence, and could cultivate on its own like the Seven Lives Divine Clouds.
