“Withdraw.”
Chu Kuangren withdrew the Divine Lotus Seed. It was at that moment, a golden lotus seed, shrouded with concentrated Daoist patterns appeared inside his body.
“An Immortal item that can evolve Immortal Techniques? Not bad.” Chu Kuangren smiled.
He had not finished refining the Godly Awakening Wine, so he thought he would have to delay evolving his Immortal Technique to a later date. Yet now, with the Myriad Divine Lotus Seed, he could move his schedule up.
He could evolve his own Immortal Techniques and master the Proclamation Seal.
It was his goal before he even entered the Immortal World.
Prior to creating his own source energy, it would be important to gain insights into as many source energies as possible. Those were his two major cultivation goals — the source energy and Proclamation Seals.
Both could help him to increase his strength.
“Since the Myriad Divine Lotus Seed has been planted inside me, all that’s left is to collect Water and Wood Essence to nourish it,” Chu Kuangren muttered.
In order to grow the seed, using Emperor qi alone would not be enough. It required a huge amount of Water and Wood Essence, similar to how plants required water to grow.
The Immortal Plant was not much different from a common plant.
‘Lan Yu should be more familiar with her new Immortal Physique by now. I should go out and analyze the Radiant War Immortal Physique on her so I can figure out a way to upgrade my Daoist Physiques,’ Chu Kuangren thought.
With that, he walked out of the cave.
The sky outside was still gloomy. After all, he was in the Ancient Immortal Battlefield, a place filled with rage qi. It would be strange if he walked out to a sunny day.
He shook his head. “T’ll stay for a little longer. If I can’t find an Opportunity of Fortune, I’ll leave to the next place.”
Lan Yu had ended her closed-door meditation earlier than him.
She was standing under the tree in her silver armor. Her slender figure and long legs complemented her silver hair that draped over her shoulder; her delicate facial features looked more pronounced with her bright sapphire eyes.
She looked valiant and pure like an inviolable valkyrie.
“Master, you’re out!”
Lan Yu turned around to Chu Kuangren with a smile.
Her sapphire eyes blinked with utmost tenderness.
“Mmhm. How’s your War Immortal Physique? Have you gotten used to it?” he asked.
“T’ve gotten more familiar with it, and I have broken through to a Great Daoist Celestial. I’ve also mastered the Radiant War Source energy.
“Radiant is my Dao, and War is my duty. Radiant War Source is the most fitting source energy for me,” she said with a smile.
“Master, congratulations on coming out. Judging from your look, you must have gained something again,” the Sword Crown said as he walked over with a smile.
“Okay, I guess.”
Chu Kuangren then asked, “Did anything happen while I was inside?”
“There is actually.”
Before the Sword Crown could elaborate, Lil Fox jumped into the conversation. “Boss, an Immortal Ascension Pool appeared here in the Ancient Immortal Battlefield a few days ago. A lot of people went over. Let’s go have some fun!”
“Oh, Immortal Ascension Pool?” Chu Kuangren looked interested.
“Yes! This is a treasured natural resource that bore the blessing of heaven and earth. It’s very beneficial to an Immortal Progeny,” the Sword Crown said.
“If that’s the case, let’s go have a look.”
Chu Kuangren did not say no to Lil Fox.
Soon, the group headed towards the Immortal Ascension Pool.
Further away at the Immortal Ascension Pool, the Immortal Progenies were still fighting over a spot to enter the pool. However, little did they know that something terrifying was coming for them.
On a mountain peak at the deepest part of Ancient Immortal Battlefield, Immortal Sparks shone brightly, making the mountain peak stand out from the bleak and vengeful battlefield.
The rage qi in the area could not get close to the mountain peak at all, which made it look special.
At the center of the mountain peak was a lake with a ten kilometers radius.
The lake’s surface was shrouded by mist and Immortal Sparks.
The lake was none other than the Immortal Ascension Pool that all Immortal Progenies dreamt of.
‘The water in the lake was formed by the purest of spiritual powers. One drop of it equaled millions of spiritual marrow.
As such, the amount of water in the lake made its value immeasurable.
The other valuable thing was the Immortal Sparks around the lake. The Immortal Sparks formed a strange connection around the lake, and it was the Immortal Sparks that could purify one’s impurities and possess the powerful effect of loosening one’s body. It was more than enough to allow one to tread
smoothly on the Immortal Path.
Outside the lake was countless seals set up by the Immortals who ventured into the Ancient Immortal Battlefield this time.
Their aim was to prevent others from getting close.
The Immortals had discussed it among themselves and agreed to only allow the Immortal Progenies of the immortal orthodoxies to enter the lake for purification.
However, in order to avoid criticism, the Immortals decided to release ten extra spots for those who did not belong to any immortal orthodoxies.
As for which ten lucky souls would get the chance, it would depend on their strength.
A large number of Immortal Progenies were fighting outside for the ten spots to enter the lake.
More precisely, they were fighting over the token that would grant them entry.
The token switched owners swiftly among the Immortal Progenies. It was not that difficult for one to get the token, but it was difficult to hold on to it because others might gang up on that particular person upon possession of the token.
“Haha! What a rare scene.”
An Immortal Progeny watched from high above and grinned at the chaotic scene. The man was an Immortal Progeny from the Holy City. The disdain in his eyes was visible as he watched the others fighting for the token.
The other Immortal Progenies from other immortal orthodoxies shared a similar expression.
Compared to the others who had to risk their lives for the spot, they had secured a guaranteed one at the start.
It was probably the best interpretation of leaning under a big tree for its shades.
“Who do you think will get the ten spots?”
“[ don’t know, and I don’t care.”
“Let’s just draw lots ourselves and see who goes in first,” said a man in golden robes.
‘The man had a buff physique and a strict look on his face. His standing posture set him off as a natural king, and it gave one the urge to kneel before him. The man was none other than one of the Twelve Kings, the Great Yuan Dynasty’s crown prince, Yuan Wu.
As for the lots he mentioned, it was the rule set by the Immortals to determine the sequence for the purification.
The Immortal Ascension Pool contained vast energy, so it was enough for every Immortal Progeny from the immortal orthodoxies to complete their purification. However, in order to secure a quiet and peaceful process and prevent any kind of interruption or accidents, the rule was set up so that the
Immortal Progenies would take turns.
“Let’s begin,” a delicate lady in a white robe said.
The lady was also an Immortal Progeny and one of the Twelve Kings.
Fourteen balls of light appeared before them, each representing an immortal orthodoxy that had come to the Ancient Immortal Battlefield this time.
“From one to fourteen, we will follow the sequence, and the one who gets one can go in first,” Yuan Wu said.
Then, he was first to draw.
“Look!”
All of a sudden, the Immortal Progenies squealed in shock.
The rest of the Immortal Progenies suddenly stopped fighting over the token and stared in a particular direction.
They felt a rampant and dominating energy coming closer to them, and they were no match for it.
As far as they could see, an out-of-this-world figure in white robes was walking over with three followers — two ladies and an elderly with white hair and beard — behind him.
It was Chu Kuangren and company.
Chu Kuangren did not hold back his aura. Instead, he released it to deter all the Immortal Progenies at the scene.
He looked at the Immortal Ascension Pool and said with a smile, “I guess this Immortal Ascension Pool is really tempting. Look at all the people here.”
“It’s him! It’s Chu Kuangren!”
“The monster who killed all the King Immortal Progenies? He’s here!”
A heated discussion started among the crowd, and they stared at him with reverence in their eyes.
The Immortal Progenies from the immortal orthodoxies also noticed his arrival from high up, and he intrigued them.
One of them said coldly, “Even if it’s you, Chu Kuangren, you have to follow the rules to enter the Immortal Ascension Pool! You must fight the others to get the spot for entry!”
Chu Kuangren then looked at the other Immortal Progenies and spotted the tokens in their hands. He immediately knew what was going on.
He scoffed and looked at the Immortal Progenies high above. “Fight? Do I need to fight for it?”
