In the Trial Land, it's still impossible to distinguish day from night. The red-marked and black-marked positions on the map are quite far apart. However, Gu Qingqing and the others are in no hurry; they walk and rest along the way, learning a lot about the Trial Land from the Black Flood Dragon.
It turns out this Trial Land was once a Secret Realm. An ancestor of the Rong Family obtained the inheritance from the Secret Realm and later carved out a section to serve as the Rong Family's Trial Land, and the Cold Pond where the Black Flood Dragon resides was unfortunately included.
Three hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Rong Family had entrusted the Rong Family's precious treasure, the "Ten Thousand Talisman Record," to the Black Flood Dragon because the family's situation was quite precarious at that time. Worried that he might not get through the Trial Land, he handed the item over to the Black Flood Dragon.
