Cleansing Pool

The young man in blue looked at Ling Han as if he was looking at a monster.

Ling Han’s body was enveloped by the Starlight Screen. This awakened Mystical Power possessed astonishing defenses. Even though the woman in red had tried her best just then, she still hadn’t been able to break through his defenses. She had been sent flying.

The young man in blue was about to go crazy. How could there be such a freakish person? He was invincible just by charging around like a bull.

He hurriedly spread out his body, thinking, ‘If I was in a state of high-speed movement, how would you be able to crash into me?’

Xiu, xiu, xiu! His speed was extremely fast, and at close to seven times the speed of sound, the whole martial arts arena was filled with sonic booms, like endless thunder.

Yet Ling Han had absolutely no intention of making a move. He drew out a chair and sat down, as he munched on sunflower seeds.

’F*ck! Do you think I’m a sideshow?’

The young man in blue exploded in fury, yet did not dare slow down in the slightest. He had already witnessed the explosive speed and impact of Ling Han’s attacks. Ling Han was definitely not someone that he could contend against.

‘But why don’t you make your move!1

The blue-robed young man felt extremely terrible. He was running around like an idiot, but his opponent was just sitting there as if he was watching a show. In comparison, wasn’t he like a clown?

On the spectators’ seats, the spectators were also stunned, their expressions strange.

The previous battle had ended too quickly. Ling Han was invincible, sending one person or even a few people flying with a single punch. Under his collision, even stronger prodigies could only lose in grievance, which made them feel very satisfied. It was too fast, and they had not managed to catch sight of it, and could not recall it.

But now? The battle had dragged on, but it was really too boring.

Just to watch a person run off like he was in heat?

“Fight!” someone shouted.

“Hurry up and make your move. Aren’t you very strong? Hurry up and make your move!” Many people shouted at the blue-robed young man.

The young man in blue roamed around for a while longer. He knew that he could not drag things on like this.

Ling Han remained silent, not expending the slightest bit of energy. If this continued, it would definitely be disadvantageous to him.

He raised his hand and delivered a palm strike, which transformed into a gust of energy that slashed towards Ling Han.

Ling Han cracked a smile, “Finally know to make your move?”

He launched a counterattack. As he threw a punch, the apertures all over his body shot out bursts of energy that blotted out the sky and covered the earth as they shot towards the young man in blue.

The young man in blue greeted the attack, but it was only a flash of energy, and he was shaken to the point that his whole body was trembling violently.

He couldn’t help but feel stunned. With his strength, it was actually so difficult for him to take on one of the energy released from Ling Han’s apertures?

Just what kind of colossal power gap was this?

Ling Han moved. His speed was even faster, and no matter how the young man in blue dodged, it was useless. Very soon, Ling Han caught up to him, and sent him flying with a punch.

At this point, all the challengers had been defeated.

The spectators were all cheering. This was their Imperial City’s twin prodigies — no, there were no more twin prodigies now. There was only the one and only prodigy, Ling Han!

Ling Han smiled at his surroundings before turning around to leave.

This kind of battle merit was indeed impressive, but in his eyes, it was only so. What he pursued was the strongest. Being invincible in Mystery Realm Tier did not mean anything.

He was anticipating the Cleansing Pool that would be opening in a few days.

The four Spirit Transformation True Lords left helplessly. They were people who cared about their pride. Chen Fengyan had given them a chance to compete fairly, but their disciples were incompetent, so who could they blame?

Peace had temporarily returned to the Imperial Capital, and Ling Han had been adjusting his condition these few days, reaching his peak.

Four days later, the Cleansing Pool opened.

This was actually within the range of the Imperial Palace. It was located underground, and after Ling Han and the other nine Mystery Realm Tier entered the Imperial Palace, they arrived at the foot of a mountain and entered a cave. They walked all the way downwards, and after walking for a long time, the path ahead of them finally became clear, revealing a massive karst cave.

In this karst cave, there was also an irregularly shaped pool. One end was connected to the cave wall, and at the bottom of this pool, there was a green lotus that had just poked out of the water’s surface.

“Enter the pool on your own. You all have three days, and after three days, I will inform you to leave.” Zhu Qi, the chief eunuch, said, “Do not harm that azure lotus, or else… you will have to bear the consequences.”

After saying this, Zhu Qi turned around and left.

Ling Han and the others didn’t stand on ceremony and didn’t greet each other either. They all walked into the pool.

Time was limited, so they definitely couldn’t waste it.

Ling Han sat down in a cross-legged position. The warm waters of the pool enveloped him, and he immediately discovered that the life force in his body was surging, as if he was about to immediately break through.

Pa, a shackle was instantly removed.

There were only 77 left.

As expected of the Cleansing Pool, its effects were immediately apparent.

Ling Han continued to absorb the energy in the pool waters. His life force surged, and in a short while, his life force evolved again.

Pa, pa, pa! The shackles shattered one after another.

70, 60, 50… there were fewer and fewer remaining shackles.

Merely a day later, there were only three shackles left in Ling Han’s body.

However, at this time, even with the help of the Cleansing Pool, Ling Han’s level of being evolution had also entered a complete stagnation.

There were only three shackles left. For anyone, this was already perfect enough, but for Ling Han, three shackles was the same as one shackle or a hundred shackles. It was still flawed.

They definitely had to be broken.

Open,open,open!

Ling Han roared internally, pushing the energy in his body with all his might. He also used the Power of Dimensions, which was extremely important on his path of cultivation. He had broken through all pinnacle levels with its aid.

Pa, the first shackle was blasted open. Ling Han was neither happy nor sad. He mustered up the remaining power to launch another attack. Pa, the second shackle was shattered.

However, by this time, the Power of Dimension in his body had already begun to decline.

Ling Han frowned upon hearing this. The Cleansing Pool was already ineffective on him. Now that he had used up the Power of Dimension, how was he supposed to break through the final barrier?

No, with the help of the Cleansing Pool, he was already powerless, so what other chances would he have in the future?

Perhaps there was, but he needed to accumulate power for ten years, fifty years, or even longer, before he could break through the final barrier in one go.

He couldn’t wait that long.

He had to take advantage of this opportunity to succeed in a single stroke.

Ling Han’s blood boiled, pushing his condition to its strongest state.

‘Hmm?’

The other nine opened their eyes and looked towards him.

‘What’s going on? Why is your blood boiling when you’re cultivating? Are you trying to get into a fight?’

Boom, it was as if a tsunami had risen up in Ling Han’s body, the power of life surging.

Pa, the last shackle was also blasted open.

He was flawless.

Ling Han broke into a smile. Now, if he accumulated some more mystical power, he would be able to break through to Celestial Path.

Yi?

He was astounded, because the energy from the Cleansing Pool was still surging into his body. There was no way to stimulate the evolution of his level of being, yet it had turned into mystical power, endlessly surging into his body.

His meridians were incredibly wide, automatically guiding a large amount of energy into the dimensions inside his body.

If it was any other Mystery Realm Tier, after absorbing it for an hour or so, they would definitely have reached satiation from a state of exhaustion of all mystical power. However, what was Ling Han’s appetite?

There were countless dimensions in his body, and the space to store mystical power could be said to be close to unlimited, so how could it be filled to the brim?

It didn’t matter if he couldn’t fill it up, but the hunger that had been entangling him all this while was beginning to weaken..
