Huh?
The Empress said she agreed?
Mo Tian thought he had misheard and looked at the Empress with disbelief. "Empress, did you just say that you allow Su Zhan to enter the Sacred Pool?"
"Yes." The Empress nodded gently.
"How is this possible!"
Mo Tian beca angry in an instant and pointed at Su Zhan. "The Sacred Pool is ant for the pride of our Flower Moon Country. When did he beco one of us?"
One of the elders from the Mo family at the Origin Elixir Realm hesitated and said, "Empress, although Mo Tian is straightforward in his words, he has a point. The Sacred Pool has always been off-limits to outsiders, even Li Changxing was rejected when he ca."
"But Li Changxing" The Empress paused, her gaze fixed on Su Zhan. "Su Zhan is no less deserving than Li Changxing!"
"But even so"
"That's enough."
The Empress waved her hand. "This matter was a promise made by Yiyi herself. Su Zhan will use her opportunity to enter the Sacred Pool. What's there for you to dispute? Besides, I have the final say on who can use the Sacred Pool. If you have any objections, swallow them!"
Sensing the Empress's growing displeasure, Mo Tian and the Mo family elder could only close their mouths and angrily glance at Su Zhan.
Hua Yiyi's mouth hung open slightly, feeling bewildered.
"Master, you, you said"
"Things change." The Empress shook her head with a hint of helplessness. If it were before, she would certainly have rejected without hesitation and would have taken action to make Su Zhan understand the vast difference in their status.
But now, after learning that Su Zhan had slain the ancestral elder of the Xu family with a single sword, even as the Empress with unparalleled strength, power, and political acun, she wouldn't make an enemy out of him over such a trivial matter. After all, Su Zhan was only sixteen years old.
At the age of sixteen with sufficient self-defense abilities, Su Zhan had boundless potential!
With these thoughts in mind, the Empress disregarded the bewildered Hua Yiyi and said to Su Zhan, "When you enter the Sacred Pool for cultivation, it's best to bathe and burn incense for three days beforehand. This will calm your mind and put yourself in the perfect state for cultivation in the Sacred Pool. Let know the date you wish to enter, and I will make arrangents for you."
"Thank you, Empress!"
Su Zhan didn't expect the Empress to be so magnanimous. The trace of hostility in his heart dissipated, and he shook his head, saying, "I don't need to bathe and burn incense. Right now, I am in the perfect state. If possible, I would like to go to the Sacred Pool for cultivation imdiately."
"Very well." The Empress nodded and stepped down from her throne.
"Follow ."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhan followed the Empress.
Mo Tian, Hua Yiyi, and the others followed closely behind.
After a short while, they arrived outside a peculiar palace within the imperial palace. Ten enormous statues surrounded the palace. In front of the palace, there was a small river with a jade bridge spanning across it. Before the jade bridge was the main entrance of the palace.
The main entrance was separated by a curtain of light that resembled flowing water, making it impossible to see what lay beyond at a glance.
"This is the Tranquilizing Bridge. Once you pass through it, your mind will beco even more tranquil. Beyond that curtain of light, you will be able to see the Sacred Pool."
The Empress looked at Su Zhan and explained, "The holy liquid within the Sacred Pool contains many extrely rare spiritual herbs from heaven and earth. Moreover, it is cultivated using the essence of the earth's veins extracted by the grand-extraction array that encompasses the entire imperial city. The Sacred Pool takes more than thirty years to nurture. You only have three hours, so how much you can absorb and refine is up to you."
"I understand," Su Zhan replied and took a step onto the jade bridge.
Instantly, a cool sensation spread throughout his body, starting from the soles of his feet.
"This is the Tranquil Lotus. One Tranquil Lotus is worth around five thousand spirit stones. Here, an entire river is filled with them. Through the inscriptions on the riverbed, the dicinal power of these Tranquil Lotuses is condensed and applied to the jade bridge. Only the imperial family would have such grandeur," Su Zhan marveled as he looked down.
After crossing the jade bridge, he walked toward the curtain of light.
"That's the Gate of the Proud Heavens. If you can't even pass through the Gate of the Proud Heavens, you'll only embarrass yourself!" Mo Tian stood not far away, sneering as he spoke.
The Gate of the Proud Heavens?
Su Zhan was sowhat curious as he walked into the curtain of light.
However, nothing special happened. He simply walked into the palace.
Seeing this, Mo Tian didn't show any surprise. The Gate of the Proud Heavens was just the most basic test. As long as one had so talent, they could pass through it. It wasn't a big deal.
However, the statues that awaited inside would clearly reveal Su Zhan's talent. Mo Tian was curious to see what kind of talent this Su Zhan, who received special treatnt from the Empress, possessed!
With this thought in mind, Mo Tian stood nearby, watching.
By now, Su Zhan had entered the palace. Inside, there was nothing but a pool of water.
Is this the Sacred Pool? Su Zhan's gaze fell upon the water's surface.
Curiously, he approached and reached out his hand, placing it into the Sacred Pool. Feeling the pure spiritual energy and various beneficial energies for cultivators contained within the pool water, his eyes lit up. The value of the holy liquid in this Sacred Pool was definitely higher than that of a Star Elent Fruit, or even ten Star Elent Fruits combined!
Of course, how much one could absorb depended on the individual.
Su Zhan directly entered the Sacred Pool. Strictly speaking, the holy liquid in the Sacred Pool was not water. It was a peculiar fluid substance. As he entered the Sacred Pool, he only felt a slight coolness, and his clothes remained dry.
Arriving at the center of the Sacred Pool, he sat cross-legged on a special stone platform designed for cultivators. He activated the Sunfla Scripture. The dicinal power, resembling white mist, floated above the Sacred Pool and surged toward his body.
"Only three hours? This speed is too slow. With my current physical condition, I can easily withstand the impact of this dicinal power!" After experiencing the burden that the dicinal power of the Sacred Pool placed on his body, Su Zhan no longer hesitated.
The Cultivation Halo activated!
The Refinent Halo activated!
Suddenly, those white mists condensed into lines and surged into his body from all directions. Then they were rapidly refined.
The speed was more than ten tis faster than before!
As for the Divine Body, Su Zhan did not imdiately trigger it. He would wait until he reached the breakthrough point and activate the state of the Divine Body, condensing the Origin Elixir in the most perfect state!
Outside the Sacred Pool.
A trace of curiosity appeared in the Empress's eyes. "As the recognized number one genius of the fifteen kingdoms, the Divine Body prodigy, I wonder how many holy statues he can activate?"
"The first ti soone enters the Sacred Pool for cultivation, the special formations within the pool will reveal their talent through the performance of the ten holy statues outside the palace. With Senior Brother Su's talent, I'm afraid he can activate nine or more holy statues!" Although Hua Yiyi was sowhat annoyed with Su Zhan, she sincerely admired his unparalleled talent. At this mont, she also expressed her thoughts.
"Constantly ntioning the Divine Body, an ordinary Divine Body might not even compare to my Five Elents Saint Body!"
Upon hearing these words, Mo Tian beca very displeased. "Furthermore, aside from the Five Elents Saint Body, my spiritual power talent and comprehension talent are all top-notch. Even I can only activate nine holy statues. Does he deserve to be on par with ?"
The Empress frowned and glanced at Mo Tian, shaking her head slightly. Children will be children. Despite having talent, they have no sense of restraint. Compared to Su Zhan, who never boasted about his talent, Mo Tian had already lost in terms of temperant.
The elder from the Mo family also felt that Mo Tian's words were a bit too arrogant and looked sowhat embarrassed as he said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Mo Tian. He is still young and impetuous. Although his words sound unpleasant, they are also true."
"Although Su Zhan is a Divine Body, Mo Tian possesses one of the strongest Saint Bodies, not to ntion his comprehension and spiritual power talents. That Su Zhan, relying solely on a low-level Divine Body that has never been recorded, is simply not enough"
"Buzz!"
Before the elder from the Mo family could finish speaking, the statues outside the hall began to emit dazzling light and trembled violently. One by one, the holy statues began to emit radiant light!
