Yellow Springs Path

Part of the Nine Springs yellow lake
== Summary ==
A spring of blood that can corrode flesh and blood. It is filled with beasts. The key is not to attack the monsters. Then one can pass through safely.
As the story goes:
"The Yellow Springs Path really is just like a person's life. Looking at the path forward and back will both bewilder people. The path back is just as covered with mist as the path forward. If you try to retreat, one wrong step will lead to death. Rather than retreating with your eyes closed, continuing to advance with your eyes open is better. You can't see your goal or hope, but you can see your next step. As long as you persevere, no matter how long the path is, you'll reach the end eventually. However, countless people die during the process because they can't see any hope. Sometimes they might just be one step from the shore, but their despair causes them to fall," said the old man emotionally.
He also had a family of his hot-blooded brothers and beautiful women following him. He couldn't go back. He not only had to achieve his dreams, but he also had to achieve the dreams of everyone who followed him. No matter how dangerous it was, he had to continue forward.
== Legend ==
As the surface of the lake rose, Long Chen saw some splashing. Eventually, he saw the mouth of a spring from which the blood water was flowing out. There was a stone tablet there with three crooked words. They didn't seem like immortal characters. In any case, Long Chen didn't recognize them.
"Yellow Springs Path."
"What? Doesn't the Yellow Springs Path only exist in folklore? Plus, shouldn't it be yellow?" asked Long Chen.
"I don't know either. I just recognize those three characters. That damn Yun Shang, return my memories!" raged Evilmoon. It was more and more sure that Yun Shang had taken away a portion of its memories. 
Alright, perhaps the Yellow Springs weren't yellow. Among the common folk, there was a saying to stop digging if you struck yellow water when digging a well, because that well would lead to the land of the dead.
But wasn't that just nonsense? The soil people lived on was yellow. It was only natural that when the first water came out, it would be yellow. If that saying was true, wouldn't there be no wells?
That was why this saying was not trustworthy at all and was mostly only told during stories. However, now that Evilmoon had said what those characters were, Long Chen's heart thumped. For some reason, he felt a chill.
