Future Lake

Future Lake (未来湖), Nine Netherworld Path, Long Chen meets an Evil Path spirit here. The Future Lake is a projection of the Reincarnation Mirror.
== Seeing the future and past ==
The Evil spirit tells Chen:
"I've watched over Future Lake for countless years, and I've managed to find out a few secrets about it. Activating the lake in one way will divine the future, while activating it the other way will divine the past. Do you want to know this thing's future or past?"
"Can I first see its future and then see its past?" asked Long Chen.
"No." The illusory figure gave him a direct reply. This soul was a monster who could shock both the Righteous and Corrupt paths. Even with its soul shattered, it had managed to gather again in the Nine Netherworld Path. That was enough to prove what a terrifying existence it had been.
== Final scene ==
It had advised Long Chen not to look at his future because it was worried that he would see the scene of himself dying.
The final scene that Future Lake showed people was the end of their life. Any genius who saw the scene of their demise would become dejected, and their Dao-heart would receive a huge blow. Perhaps their martial heart (武道之心) would be instantly destroyed.
This was also why the vice sect master had so solemnly warned everyone not to go see their future.
Future Lake was the core of the Nine Netherworld Path. It was something that controlled the entire trial, so there was no way to seal it. He could only ask the disciples not to go there. And even if they were to go there, they shouldn't get close to the lake.
When a person's reflection appeared on Future Lake, it would automatically show them their future. But Long Chen didn't need to see his future. What he wanted was to know his past.
And that required this mysterious existence's help. Having relied on Future Lake to survive for all these years, it had definitely figured out a few ways to use it.
Long Chen then decides to see his past. See Future Lake Flashback.
