Divine King of Honour

Soon, Xu Nian and Xue Fu arrived at the outermost edge of the Celestial Pool.

Without getting closer, Xu Nian felt an incredibly rich energy fluctuation.

"Such dense energy, is this the Celestial Pool? It's truly extraordinary, probably a thousand times more than ordinary spiritual energy," Xu Nian thought to himself.

He glanced around at the ground, astonished.

The vegetation here was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The once barren valley had now transformed into a thriving forest.

Some trees had even grown to several hundred zhang high, unbelievably dense.

"No need to look further; the appearance of the Celestial Pool surely causes the surrounding vegetation and beasts to mutate, with some even birthing rare spiritual medicines. But these are secondary. Breaking into the Celestial Pool is what's most crucial," Xue Fu's bright eyes gleamed as he fixated on the range of the Celestial Pool ahead.

Though Immortal Qi is intangible, there's a significant difference between it and spiritual energy.

As cultivators, they could distinguish the bounds of the Celestial Pool at a glance.

They could also sense the formidable presences hidden within that range.

"Damn, when did Earthly Immortal Realm cultivators become so numerous, crowded together like this," Xu Nian couldn't help but curse.

Even though he wasn't using his Spiritual Sense Power to perceive, he could still feel the powerful auras within the Celestial Pool's range.

These experts were all hidden in the shadows, using the Immortal Qi from the Celestial Pool to cleanse their bodies, while simultaneously striving to evolve their True Essence into Immortal Essence.

Essentially, the deeper one goes, the denser the Immortal Qi becomes.

However, the cultivation levels of those within also rise the deeper one goes.

Even at the outermost layer, most are Earthly Immortal Early Stage experts.

"It seems entering this Celestial Pool and cultivating peacefully won't be easy!" Xu Nian murmured to himself, looking at the hidden Earth Immortal experts ahead.

Trying to establish a footing and cultivate for three days in such an environment is akin to an impossible task.

"Boom!"

Just as Xu Nian's words fell, a muffled sound echoed from the range of the Celestial Pool.

Then a figure was thrown out from within.

A massive hole had exploded in his chest, with his internal organs almost shattered into blood clots, barely clinging to life.

Importantly, this person's cultivation level wasn't low.

He had reached the Peak of Tribulation Gang Realm.

A Body Cultivation expert beaten like this implied the attacker had at least Earthly Immortal Realm strength.

"Humph, not even reaching Earthly Immortal Realm dares to enter the Celestial Pool." An expert's cold snort came from within the Celestial Pool.

Everyone around glanced at the dense forest, their eyelids twitching.

Indeed, without Earthly Immortal Realm strength, entering the Celestial Pool was courting death.

Though the Immortal Qi in the Celestial Pool was dense, it had its limits.

So in these experts' eyes, the fewer people entering meant the more Immortal Qi they could absorb.

Thus, cultivators not reaching Earthly Immortal became the elimination targets.

Seeing a Peak Tribulation Gang Realm kicked out to death with one blow, several nearby Tribulation Stage cultivators who initially intended to charge in halted, showing struggling expressions.

Even a Peak Tribulation Gang Realm was defeated; if they entered, the outcome would likely not be favorable.

Xue Fu and Xu Nian were both furrowing their brows at this moment; the situation was more severe than they'd imagined.

"What to do? Enter or not?" Xu Nian asked Xue Fu beside him.

"Enter, of course, we must enter. The Celestial Pool is a tremendous opportunity; how could we give it up so easily?" Xue Fu said with furrowed brows but an unwavering gaze.

Xu Nian nodded.

He shared the same thought.

His cultivation needs immense energy to break through.

And the Celestial Pool is his greatest chance for breakthrough.

If he doesn't seize it, he might feel regret.

Cultivators are like this; to rapidly advance their cultivation, they must compete.

Take step-by-step cultivation, and it will be exceedingly slow.

However, the current opponents were these Earthly Immortal experts, more than one, possibly at Earthly Immortal Realm Middle Stage or higher.

A headache indeed!

Charging in recklessly won't work.

After all, their cultivation hadn't reached this level.

But if they don't charge in, what should they do?

Xue Fu was also pondering; evidently, she knew charging in forcefully was not feasible.

Suddenly, Xu Nian thought of something.

A wry smile appeared on his lips.

He had an idea, involving his Black Jade Pendant.

Using Space Profound Argumentation to create a space wormhole, then let the Black Jade Pendant devour.

Within a couple of hours, the Black Jade Pendant could absorb all the Immortal Qi completely.

But if he truly did this,

he might be hunted by all Earth Immortal experts here afterward.

The thought of thousands of Earth Immortal experts chasing him made Xu Nian's scalp tingle.

So Xu Nian quickly abandoned this idea.

"Have you thought of a method?" Xu Nian turned to ask Xue Fu.

Xue Fu pondered for a moment and said, "Charge and fight our way in!"

Xu Nian instantly rolled his eyes.

After contemplating for a long time, you give me this idea?

If I could charge in, why would I need to talk nonsense with you here?

"I do have a method, but it's somewhat risky... interested?" Xu Nian said to Xue Fu with a smile, yet the smile carried a hint of mischief.

"What method?" Xue Fu's brows furrowed instinctively at Xu Nian's smile.

This guy's smile seemed to harbor ill intentions.

Xu Nian smiled slightly and spoke, "Look around; the gathered Tribulation Stage cultivators number in the hundreds of thousands by now, right? They all dare not enter, why not summon everyone to charge in together?"

"Charge in? Would these Tribulation Stage cultivators dare? Even if they dared, could they handle Earthly Immortal Realm?" Xue Fu shook her head, clearly thinking Xu Nian's words were unrealistic.

Slaughter Star's cultivators fought individually; how could they easily unite?

Xu Nian merely smiled, ignoring Xue Fu, and ascended, proclaiming with True Essence voice: "Everyone, lend me an ear!"

His voice echoed across a hundred-mile radius.

In an instant, everyone outside the Celestial Pool turned to Xu Nian.

Nearly a million strong, most of them Tribulation Stage cultivators.

They all glanced at Xu Nian, seemingly wanting to know what he was going to say.

Xue Fu was also somewhat surprised, wondering what this guy intended to do.

Was he really planning to unite everyone?

Seeing everyone gathered around, Xu Nian smiled and spoke, "Everyone, do you want to enter this Celestial Pool to cultivate?"

Silence fell all around; nobody answered him.

Some even directly rolled their eyes at Xu Nian; wasn't this a pointless question?

If they didn't want to enter the Celestial Pool, why did they travel thousands of miles to be here?
