The purple silk in the Black Dragon Pond seemed like an unsatisfied beast that was constantly sucking in boundless spiritual energy. Every once in a while, it would be blocked by the spiritual pressure and was unable to go any deeper. However, she wasn't in a hurry as she slowly refined the spiritual energy within her body. If she was still at the early Nascent Soul stage, the Spirit Pressure of the Celestial Dragon Pool wouldn't be a concern. But right now, her body belonged to Ye Ling, so this process was absolutely necessary.

There were no longer any Divine Profound Sect disciples nearby and Zi Ling was currently focused on resisting the Spirit Pressure. The pain of her body made her expression somewhat stiff, but this bit of pain was not even worth mentioning compared to the pain of her body exploding and her soul being burnt.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. She had also dived into the center of the pond. The spiralling air currents created by the Spirit Pressure constantly crushed her body. There was no pain on her face.

At this moment, all of the disciples in the Divine Profound Sect were gathered at the Celestial Dragon Pool, and the Sect Master was even staring at the calm and tranquil water surface. All the disciples had already passed the examination, and only gold was able to last for more than three-quarters of an hour. If it was in the past, this year's new disciples would be considered the cream of the crop. Who would have thought that they would come up with such a strange idea? They would actually stay in the God Dragon Pool for a whole day and night without coming out!

This was what all the elders and deacons of the Divine Profound Sect were thinking in their hearts, they wanted to see who exactly had such great ability. They wanted to know if the last person who had persisted in the pond for a day or the genius of the Qi Family years ago was …

Everyone knew that regardless of Ye Ling's current strength, his future would definitely be limitless. At this time, the Mysterious Master of the Divine Profound Sect knew that there was no hope of accepting a disciple, because the sect's few Profound General Elders had already come out, and were mustering their strength, intending to take this genius in.

"Brother Chu, I heard that the one in the pond for one day and one night is that Golden Phoenix Body of the Ye Family, your fiancée?" Liu Shuang suppressed her emotions and asked tentatively.

Outside the crowd, Chu Feng did not look at the number one beauty of the Divine Profound Sect, Liu Shuang Shuang, he only stared at the surface of the pond, his expression slightly changed. One must know that when he entered the sect, he only stayed in the pond for four hours. I didn't expect her to be able to endure for so long!

"Brother Chu, are you listening to me?" Liu Shuang waited for a long time and seeing that Chu Feng was still staring at the surface, she bit her lips as she yelled again.

Chu Feng turned his head, "Are you talking to me?"

Liu Shuang's almond eyes held a trace of grievance. "I said, is that person in the Celestial Dragon Pool Senior Chu's fiancee?"

Chu Feng turned his gaze away from her face and nodded, "Right now, it is …"

Liu Shuang did not know the meaning behind Chu Feng's words and after receiving a definite answer, her face immediately became pale. Luckily, Chu Feng did not see it and she immediately turned her head to the side. Chu Feng belonged to her heart, so she knew about Ye Ling's existence. She just did not expect him to appear between them so quickly.

If Ye Ling was a little more ordinary, she wouldn't have cared at all. After all, she was the number one beauty of the Divine Profound Sect, but Ye Ling had the body of a golden phoenix, and was even one of the top beauties in the entire Anze Continent. Furthermore, he had stayed in the God Dragon Pool for an entire day and night.

Zi Ling, who was in the middle of the pool, didn't know how big of a commotion her actions had caused. She only wanted to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible before diving into the bottom of the pool to see what had caused such a strong spiritual pressure fluctuation.

Another day and night passed, and she was almost at the bottom of the pool. At this moment, the spiritual pressure at the bottom of the pool was about to squeeze her body to the point of exploding. She did not dare to act rashly, so she stopped diving and floated in the water, carefully sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations around her.

Closing her eyes, she could feel that the strands of spiritual energy were converging towards a certain direction.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at the pitch-black bottom of the lagoon …

There it is!

She pursed her lips and stared at the place. The pitch-black bottom of the pool was like a ferocious beast lurking in hibernation, giving her a sense of danger.

Right at this moment, a strong suction force suddenly pulled her down. At the same time, the gathered spiritual energy in her body seemed to have been pierced and quickly gushed out.

Ah …

She cried out and tried to resist the suction. However, she soon discovered that her efforts were like an ant trying to shake a tree. Her body was like a rootless duckweed that was forcefully pulled down by the suction force.

"Bang …" His body heavily smashed into the bottom of the pool.

With great difficulty, she steadied her body and sat down cross-legged. Since she could not resist, she might as well stop resisting and release her spiritual sense to feel the abnormality of this place.

Wherever his Spiritual Sense passed by, strands of Spiritual Qi converged in one direction. An enormous ball of air was formed there. She tried to probe it with her spiritual sense, but found that she was unable to get any deeper.

With a slight frown, she withdrew her spiritual sense. The spiritual energy in her body was almost completely drained. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and what she saw was the continuously rotating mass of air.

Spiritual Concentration Formation …

The Divine Profound Gate actually had a large Spirit Convergence Array. Who set it up?

After searching through Ye Ling's memories, she was unable to find a single memory related to cultivators. However, it would be hard for her to not believe that the Spiritual Concentration Formation was actually here.

The undercurrents at the bottom of the pool were surging, continuously attacking her body. She did not dare to think any further and quickly gathered her thoughts to forcefully resist the formation. Fortunately, she had studied formations in her past life, and in just a few moments, she had estimated the position of the formation core.

Enduring the bone-piercing pain, she forced herself to take a step forward. Just now, a crazy idea had emerged in her heart. She wanted to use the Spirit Convergence Array to increase her cultivation!

The Spirit Convergence Array was tyrannically seizing all the spirit energy inside the formation, but she had a way to store that spirit energy for herself. It was just that the risk was huge, and with Ye Ling's body, even the slightest mistake could cause his body to explode.

Opportunity and risk had always existed together. If she wanted to recover her strength as soon as possible, she had to take the risk. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and endured the unbearable pain of an ordinary person. She turned her body to the side to avoid the terrifying whirlpool and slowly approached the Formation Aperture.

Rumble … Rumble …

A deafening sound of air flowing could be heard from the huge whirlpool. Zi Ling stood several feet away from the giant whirlpool. Her expression kept changing until finally, a cold light flashed in her eyes as she resolutely moved closer to the whirlpool.

Boom …

Like a volcano erupting, the spirit pressure released by the whirlpool instantly crushed the purple silk. It was as if someone was holding onto her throat, causing her to be in so much pain that she was unable to vent.

He had to persevere!

As she spread out her divine sense, she kept telling herself that she had to grit her teeth and endure. Waves of spiritual pressure pressed down like mountains, gradually bending her straight body. However, her steps were still as slow as ever as she moved forward.

The corner of her mouth dropped into a dark red line. She had bitten it out to clear her mind. Compared to the pain of self-detonating and burning her soul, what she was enduring right now was not the slightest bit different.

And all of this was brought to her by Zi Xiao!

Before her consciousness sank into darkness, she only had one thought in her mind: Zi Xiao, if I, Zi Ling can return alive, I will definitely grind your bones into ashes and destroy your soul!

One day passed... Two days passed … In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and the number of people watching the Celestial Dragon Pool became fewer and fewer. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and the number of people surrounding the Celestial Dragon Pool became fewer and fewer.

"Sect Leader, would you like to go in and search for it?" An elder with the cultivation of a Dark General suggested.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kissed the Ye Family back then to let Ye Ling enter the sect. He believed that with her talent, she would definitely be able to stay in the God Dragon Pool for a long time, and it had only been a day or two, and he was more happy than surprised. But now, five days had passed, and he had started to doubt himself.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded, "I can only trouble the elders to make a move."

Only a few Xuan General level elders were able to dive halfway into the Celestial Dragon Pool. The few clan elders did not hesitate anymore and jumped into the Celestial Dragon Pool.

After a few hours of searching, the elders finally landed on the shore. Seeing their strange expressions, the Sect Leader knew that his search was fruitless.

"Clan Master, we've searched through the upper half of the Celestial Dragon Pool, but didn't find Ye Ling."

The Divine Profound Sect's Sect Leader's expression changed, but before he could say anything, another elder said: "If what you said is correct, she must have infiltrated into the lower half of the area."

The few of them inclined to this conclusion in their hearts. However, when they recalled that their Profound General cultivation was unable to sneak into the lower half of the tribe, and that Ye Ling, a mere profound practitioner, was actually able to do it, they couldn't help but doubt him.

"If she really went to the bottom of the Divine Dragon Pool, even the Divine Profound Sect would not be able to keep this phoenix!" The Sect Leader's expression changed as he stared at the lake's surface, both happy and worried.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. The new disciples of the Divine Profound Sect had started to get used to the life here, and the things that happened in the God Dragon Pool were gradually being forgotten.

At the bottom of the Celestial Dragon Pool lay the half moon's sleeping Zi Ling. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly like wings.

Pain...

The moment his consciousness returned, a tremendous pain came from his limbs and bones. she cried, sitting up abruptly.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and waved her hands in front of her eyes. Unexpectedly …

The intense pain only lasted for a moment before it slowly subsided until she was completely able to bear the pain. After a thorough examination of her body, she discovered that not only was she able to move freely, the spiritual energy she absorbed had reached an unimaginable level.

What was going on?

She originally thought that Ye Ling's body had just been cleansed by spiritual energy, so the amount he could store would at most help him break through to Qi Disciple level 8. However, she had just discovered that not only did he break through to Qi Disciple level 9, his body was also filled with unrefined spiritual energy. Her meridians were widened and her body was toughened under the repeated crushing pressure. She would probably not lose her life even if she received a full powered blow from a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

It meant that this body was not normal in the first place. Now that she was hit by the huge spiritual pressure and her body had mutated, perhaps she would no longer have the Golden Phoenix Body. However, it would not harm her cultivation at all!

It seemed that the Immortal Mystical Gate really did have a lot of good things, but right now, she could only barely absorb some.

Just as she was feeling regret, the Spirit Convergence Array suddenly shook violently.

Crap!

She had forgotten to destroy the formation and forcefully absorb the spiritual energy. The formation was on the verge of collapse. She could not stay here any longer, otherwise the spiritual pressure would crush her into ashes.

Boom …

Violent spirit pressure rose up from the bottom of the pool, crushing everything in its path and creating a deep crater in the place where Zi Ling was standing.

Zi Ling's expression changed and she quickly backed up.

Whirlpool at the bottom of the pool gurgled outward like boiling water... She carefully avoided one whirlpool after another. Just as they were about to leave the range of the array formation, the array formation suddenly collapsed.

"Bang!"

The overwhelming power spread out in all directions, charging straight for the surface of the pond. In an instant, it created a thousand ripples on the surface.

What was that?

While she was retreating, she saw a scarlet whirlpool appear behind the Formation Aperture. However, it disappeared in a flash.

She blinked her eyes in an attempt to see clearly, but the violent force directly sent her flying dozens of feet away.

This won't do. With her current strength, she was no longer able to approach the formation core. Her violent strength was enough to kill an Aurous Core stage cultivator.

This place was no longer safe. She had to leave as soon as possible!
