Chapter 73: Entering The Sacred Pool

""

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 became angry in an instant and pointed at Su Zhan. "The Sacred Pool is meant for the pride of our Flower Moon Country. When did he become 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 came."

"But Li Changxing" The Empress paused, her gaze fixed on Su Zhan. "Su Zhan is no less deserving than Li Changxing!"nove(l)bi(n.)com

"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 acumen, 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 me know the date you wish to enter, and I will make arrangements 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 immediately."

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 Element Fruit, or even ten Star Element 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 Sunflame Scripture. The medicinal 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 medicinal power!" After experiencing the burden that the medicinal power of the Sacred Pool placed on his body, Su Zhan no longer hesitated.

The Cultivation Halo activated!

The Refinement 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 times faster than before!

As for the Divine Body, Su Zhan did not immediately 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 time someone 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 somewhat annoyed with Su Zhan, she sincerely admired his unparalleled talent. At this moment, she also expressed her thoughts.

"Constantly mentioning the Divine Body, an ordinary Divine Body might not even compare to my Five Elements Saint Body!"

Upon hearing these words, Mo Tian became very displeased. "Furthermore, aside from the Five Elements 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 me?"

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 temperament.

The elder from the Mo family also felt that Mo Tian's words were a bit too arrogant and looked somewhat 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 mention 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!
