Chapter 4328 - 4328 The Divine Fountain

4328 The Divine Fountain

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian was still convinced that he was dreaming. If he was not dreaming, it would be terrifying.

Duan Ling Tian could not imagine what kind of terrifying existence could make a high and mighty supreme powerhouse so respectful. The supreme powerhouse even addressed the other party as ‘my lord’.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian kept telling himself that he was dreaming.

Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian felt a cold sensation on his skin. When he returned to his senses and regained mobility, he found himself in a cave. At the same time, the energy that suppressed his Divine Energy disappeared completely.

After surveying his surroundings, he found that he was in a cave with no exit. There was only a spring fountain in the corner of the cave. Just the aura of the spring fountain alone made him feel refreshed. His 99 Heavenly Veins felt as though they had been cleaned, and his Divine Energy was surging restlessly in his Heavenly Veins.

Unexpectedly, Duan Ling Tian discovered that he had broken through the bottleneck that had prevented him from stabilizing his cultivation base in the realm of a rudimentary Supreme God. He had inexplicably broken through the bottleneck and completely stabilized his cultivation base at this moment!

“My cultivation base is completely… stabilized?” Duan Ling Tian muttered in a daze.

Duan Ling Tian sensed his Divine Energy calming down at this moment, and when it calmed down completely, he could feel the change in his Divine Energy. This was an indication that he had truly stabilized his cultivation base. He quickly circulated his Divine Energy he found that he had perfect control of his Divine Energy now unlike before.

“It’s really stabilized! I really didn’t expect this!” Duan Ling Tian exclaimed.

Duan Ling Tian was pleasantly surprised that his cultivation base that he had been trying to stabilize for a long time in the chaotic region would stabilize as soon as he appeared in this place.

After the shock and confusion faded away, they were naturally replaced with delight.

When Duan Ling Tian finally calmed down, he looked at the spring in the corner with bright eyes as he murmured to himself, “So this is the divine fountain?”

The seemingly ordinary spring fountain looked ordinary, but Duan Ling Tian looked at it as though he was looking at a peerless treasure. Hearing about it could not compare to seeing it with his own eyes, after all.

Previously, among the rewards he received from the middle-aged man was a vial of water from the divine fountain. It was the reward for ranking first in the rudimentary Supreme God ranking. He did not have a chance to study it before he was brought to this place.

Now that he saw the divine fountain, he quickly brought out the vial of liquid from the divine fountain from his spatial ring.

As soon as he opened the vial, he could sense a familiar aura.

There was quite a liquid in the vial, but in front of the entire divine fountain, it seemed rather insignificant.

“This vial seems to be bigger than it looks, and it seems to be able to hold much more than it looks as well… It’s kind of like a spatial ring…”

Duan Ling Tian shifted his eyes back to the spring fountain in the corner of the cave. He could not help but wonder if he could fill the vial with more liquid from the divine fountain.

“I have more than enough to bathe in even if I fill the vial, right?”

The vial of liquid from the divine fountain given to him for ranking first in the rudimentary Supreme God ranking was quite a lot. However, compared to the divine fountain in front of him, it seemed insignificant. He felt that if he filled the vial, it would not affect his bath in the divine fountain.

‘I wonder if it’s possible to fill the vial with more liquid from the divine fountain? After taking a bath, can I empty the divine fountain into the vial?’

Duan Ling Tian quickly dismissed this thought as soon as it appeared in his mind. If it was possible, the reward for ranking first in the overall ranking would not only be bathing in the divine fountain. He would directly be rewarded with the entire divine fountain.

Nonetheless, Duan Ling Tian was determined to try to fill the vial as much as he could. Perhaps, the supreme powerhouse would not mind him doing so.

With this thought in mind, Duan Ling Tian walked to the side of the spring fountain with two or three steps. The aura of the divine fountain was much stronger at such close proximity.

Duan Ling Tian felt his body relax as his Divine Energy circulated in his body. He did not even consciously cultivate, but his cultivation was improving at a much faster speed than when he consumed divine pills and consciously cultivated.

“No wonder everyone says that just a drop from the divine fountain is a precious treasure… Compared to a drop, I’m now standing in front of the entire divine fountain…”

Duan Ling Tian looked at the divine fountain in awe. However, he quickly returned to his senses. He did not forget his thoughts from earlier. He quickly squatted down with the vial in hand, planning to fill the vial.

However, just as Duan Ling Tian moved his hands, a rippling barrier suddenly appeared, blocking him.

Following that, an indifferent voice rang in the air.

“Your reward is taking a bath in the divine fountain. During your bath, you can absorb as much vital energy from the divine fountain as you want. If you’re able to, it doesn’t even matter if you dry up the entire divine fountain. However, you’re not allowed to collect even a drop of liquid from the divine fountain during this time. Considering that this is your first offense and that you were unaware of the rule, I’ll let the matter slide this time. If you attempt to collect liquid from the divine fountain again after this, I’ll immediately bring you away from the divine fountain. Not only that, but you also won’t receive the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity that had been promised as a reward.”

Previously, Duan Ling Tian only received the reward for ranking first in the rudimentary Supreme God ranking from the middle-aged man. He had yet to obtain the reward for ranking first in the overall ranking, which included a Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.

At that time, the middle-aged man told Duan Ling Tian that he would receive the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity from another person after taking a bath in the divine fountain.

Duan Ling Tian naturally did not dare to doubt the authenticity of the other party’s words. He quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, senior. I was unaware that collecting liquid from the divine fountain is prohibited.”

The other party scoffed and said, “Do you think I’ll let you off the hook if you were aware?”

Although the other party’s voice was not loud, it made Duan Ling Tian’s soul tremble. It was not difficult for him to imagine how powerful the other party was. He could not see the other party or sense the other party, but the other party’s voice alone was enough to make his soul tremble.

‘He must be a supreme powerhouse as well…’

After taking a deep breath to calm down, Duan Ling Tian asked, “Senior, are there any other restrictions when I bathe in the divine fountain?”

Duan Ling Tian wanted to know if there was a time limit.

“You want to know if there’s a time limit, right?” the other party asked as though he could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind.

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“There’s no time limit. However, there’s a limit to how much you can absorb from the divine fountain. At that time, you won’t be able to absorb any more of the divine fountain for ten days and ten nights. It’s also at that time that I’ll bring you away. How much you can absorb depends on your own ability.”

“I know that you have a Divine Tree of Life in your Little World. Since it’s a part of you, it can also absorb the liquid from the divine fountain.”

Duan Ling Tian was not surprised that the other party was aware of the existence of the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World. Since he had revealed the tree’s existence when he fought Ning Yi Xuan in the past, he had expected this information to spread.

The other party continued to say, “Apart from that… the Five Divine Elements in your body can also absorb the liquid from the divine fountain. I didn’t place any restrictions on you in this regard.”

When Duan Ling Tian heard that the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements could absorb the liquid from the divine fountain along with him, he could not help but think, ‘If all of us absorb the liquid from the divine fountain, will there be enough for all of us?’

However, when Duan Ling Tian entered the divine fountain and opened his Little World to let the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements absorb the liquid from the divine fountain, he realized that he had thought too much. He found that it was not so easy to absorb the liquid from the divine fountain. In the end, it took him several days just to absorb a drop of liquid from the divine fountain. However, after absorbing just one drop of liquid from the divine fountain, he could keenly sense the change in his Divine Energy.

As for the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements, their speed of absorbing the liquid from the divine fountain was significantly slower compared to his. He was clearly more suited to absorbing the liquid from the divine fountain compared to them.

‘No wonder the supreme powerhouse is so generous…’

…

After a month, Duan Ling Tian only absorbed more than a dozen drops of liquid from the divine fountain. However, his absorption speed was becoming faster and faster.

Then, after checking the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements, he discovered that they only absorbed two drops of liquid from the divine fountain each after one month. Apart from that, unlike him, their speed of absorption remained constant.

‘When I reach my limit, they won’t be able to absorb any more liquid from the divine fountain. Moreover, my speed is getting faster and faster. I wonder if my speed will slow down once it reaches a certain point?’
