Soon, Fade finally discovered the real source of the incident.

There seemed to be an unswallowed medical herb in Tulku Kahmul's mouth.

Fade took a closer look and sniffed the herb. His eyes immediately brightened and he said, "Six Leaf Strength Condensation Herb."

"This herb was said to be an excellent medicine to treat damaged internal organs. That was the reason why he was able to preserve his life even after my attack," he thought to himself.

He sighed and immediately thought of something. He was puzzled and said, "With such excellent herbs in hand, why did he choose to use it under the circumstance of a losing battle, and not before?"

Just as doubt lingered in his heart, Dharma Motkha came over behind him with a lamp in hand. "Mr. Chen, are you alright?" He asked.

"I'm fine..." Fade was about to answer.

However, at that moment, Dharma Motkha shouted in shock. "Ah!" He yelled.

"What's wrong? Is there any danger?" Fade immediately became alert and asked aloud.

Dharma Motkha murmured as he trembled. "No, no, Mr. Chen, there's no danger. But the holy lake... This is the holy lake!" He exclaimed.

"What holy lake?" Fade's face was filled with doubt.

Dharma Motkha quickened his speed and walked over. He moved the lamp to the left and pointed towards that direction. "Mr. Chen, this is the Holy Lake, the real Holy Lake," he exclaimed with excitement.

As he spoke, he knelt down on the ground and placed both hands on the ground. His entire body bowed forward in a deep and profound worshipping manner.

Upon seeing this, Fade looked towards the direction of the lamp. He immediately realized that there was a pool of water as it gleamed and glowed under the light.

The area of the pool wasn't small. It was about two hundred square meters.

The lake was serene with a faint mist over it. The mist slowly wafted over and an immediate air of freshness came along with it. One could instantly become energetic. One couldn't help but feel the need to kowtow, followed by a feeling of immense worship.

"The lake!" Fade strode over with much curiosity and took a deep breath as the mist of the lake came over. In an instant, his face was filled with surprise and he said, "This... This is..."

He immediately rushed over and knelt by the side of the lake. He bent down, took a mouthful of water in his hands, and drank it.

His eyes brightened and he was filled with astonishment. "This lake has accumulated incomparably strong energy. The dispersal of the mist has spiritual energy, so that's why people will feel a state of peace," he said.

At that moment, Dharma Motkha had finished worshipping. Then, he frantically proceeded to the side of the lake with eyes filled with emotions.

Upon seeing this, Fade asked, "So tell me, what is this holy lake that you've mentioned?"

"Now, Mr. Chen, in our clan, there's a legend where they believed that Namuchia Lake is a sacred place where gods and spirits descend. It was also a highly worshiped and enshrined place by the public," Dharma Motkha explained.

"But there's also a legend where they said that the real holy lake is where gods descend from the sky, and water from the lake contains their power. One sip from it can cure all forms of sicknesses and diseases. If you drink more than that, you'll be reborn with natural superpowers and become a god yourself."

"Namuchia was seen as an extraordinary place. In reality, it's just a normal lake where the waters come from the highlands. It wasn't even holy. I remembered my master... Tulku Daebul used to say that the real holy lake truly exists. However, it was hidden in some place that nobody knew and no one was able to find it."

"However, I didn't expect that the real holy lake was under the Namuchia Lake after all," Dharma Motkha said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Fade finally understood. The holy lake which contained spiritual energy must've been discovered by the others at the very beginning. As a result, myths and legends were formed as the people embarked on a path of spiritual devotion.

With only the effects of curing illnesses and having natural powers, this natural spring water with spiritual energy certainly contained many functions. With the exaggeration of the general public, it had naturally turned into a legendary folklore.

Although this lake couldn't actually turn one into a god, it could help replenish martial artists while enhancing their skills and body strength. Hence, for any martial artist, each drop in this lake was more precious than treasure.

It was impossible for Fade to estimate the value of such a huge lake with so much water.

Not to mention that as a result of the immaculate energy flow, plenty of medical herbs were growing around it. It was also a value that none could comprehend.

The Six Leaf Strength Condensation Herb that Tulku Kahmul had just used must've been picked up from the ground by the lake at the very last moment. Hence, he must've bitten it to regain the strength to approach Fade with a sneak attack.

As he thought about this, Fade recalled the Nine-star Root that he wanted to find for his junior, Joey. He immediately moved to the side of the lake and started searching for it.

Not long after, his eyes lit up. He indeed found a small piece of Nine-star Root. It was even in mint condition as well. He immediately collected it and stashed it away.

Now, looking at the surrounding medical herbs and the misty vapors above the lake, he had an urge to collect everything for his own use. However, he quickly suppressed the emotions in his heart. "Let's go back and resolve the situation above," he said to Dharma Motkha.

Both of them left the cave. As soon as they returned to the room, they once again closed the entrance to the secret area.

The situation in the room was a mess. There were burnt corpses, scattered body parts, splatters of fresh blood, and even splatters of vomit from the survivors who couldn't fathom the situation around them. The entire place was horrendous and had an extremely nauseating smell that lingered.

Fade requested Dharma Motkha to escort the remaining survivors out of the room. Channeling his positive energy, he shot out balls of flames to burn the room along with all the filth and corpses in it.

Back in the outside world, a breath of fresh air was bliss. The young nobles who survived had another chance at life. They sat paralyzed, panting heavily. Their eyes were filled with lingering fear as they looked back to the temple. It was as if everything that had happened was a terrible nightmare.

Fade used his positive energy to give them some relief. Soon after that, he requested Dharma Motkha to escort them to the valley for rest.

When Fade returned to the room, everything inside had been completely burned up and the whole room had turned to ashes, leaving only the bare altar.

He once again entered the secret area of the holy lake and explored it.

Soon, he made a surprising discovery. The lake with an immaculate amount of energy was not stagnant water. There was a small spring at the bottom of it.

The lake which contained spiritual energy was continuously gathering water from the mouth of the spring. It accumulated for many years, making it the lake it was now.
