Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 744 - Entering the Holy Pool of Ghuang
...
At night.
Right now Zhang En was standing in front of a mansion room that was not too big, thinking of his next plan
Originally, he planned to enter the Ghuang Holy Temple tomorrow, but changed his mind and decided to cultivate in the Ghuang holy pond first, starting tomorrow.
With his current cultivation, just entering the pond would help him to break through to the next realm, which would give him a higher chance of succeeding.
Zhang En sat all night in the courtyard. When morning arrived, he left the mansion, walking towards the Alchemist Union Building.
A short while later Zhang En got there and had been awaited by the two Elders.
These two Elders were among the Great Elders of the Alchemist Union, Xinshui and Yuan Liang.
Zhang En's arrival was warmly welcomed by the two.
"Young master Zhang wants to enter the holy pond to cultivate?" It was somewhat unexpected for the two of them when they heard that Zhang En was planning to cultivate in the Ghuang Sacred Pool first before entering the Ghuang Holy Temple.
Though, everyone thought he would take the test at the Ghuang Holy Temple today.
Zhang En nodded, “May I enter the Sacred Pool to cultivate now?”
Yuan Lianh quickly nodded, smiling as she said, “Yes, you have won the competition this period and can enter the holy pond whenever you like. We'll take you to the back mountain now.”
After saying that, Xinshui and Yuan Liang led Zhang En through several auals of the Alchemist Union, then arrived at the back mountain a short while later.
Arriving at the destination,
Zhang En saw an enormous pond like a river several hundred meters long and the same width. Just above the water's surface, the medicinal energy accumulated within the pond formed a Dragon that was completely formed from its energy.
Each of these dragons had clearly given birth to their own intelligence!
Xinshui pointed to the pool. Big in front of them, explained, “This is our Ghuang Sacred Pool And. Once you enter it, you must be careful. Although with your strength it may not be necessary to watch this dragon, after all they have given birth to intelligence. They can form battle arrays to attack. In addition, their intelligence has begun to fuse with the pool itself, making it very difficult to kill.”
The two Elders then told Zhang En about the things he needed to pay attention to in detail.
Despite winning the competition, Zhang En was given the chance to cultivate in the holy pond only once. Therefore, the two of them advised him to make the most of this opportunity.
Zhang En nodded in understanding, then the two Elders simultaneously opened the door through the boundary. In an instant, Zhang En flew in, arriving above the pool water.
Watching these dragons swarming towards him, Zhang En activated his demonic devouring power, causing streams of turbulent dark elements to surge out from his body and envelop the entire length of the pond, forming a Barrier.
HONNGGG!!
He then punched forward, exploding with killing intent.
Whether it was a dragon equivalent to a five-star, six, or seven-star Golden God cultivator, all of them exploded with a single punch from Zhang En.
Simultaneously, his devouring power ferociously absorbed every single strand of pill energy from the dragon that had exploded..
As Zhang En continued to absorb the energy from the dragons, he clearly felt the purity of the qi energy within his dantian slightly increase, even his body reaping the tremendous benefits of their energy.
With each dragon Zhang En absorbed, it was equivalent to purifying several hundred types of three million year old plants, and those dragons were comparable to Seven Star Gold God cultivators that contained even more terrifying energies.
Immediately, an hour had passed since Zhang En entered the pond.
Outside the pool barrier array, Xinshui and Yuan Liang exchanged looks.
Because the entire length of the pond was hidden behind the dark clutches of the devouring demon Zhang En who had covered the entire pond, the two were unable to see or investigate what was happening inside. Even their senses were blocked outside.
While the two praised this darkness barrier, they also guessed Zhang En's situation within it.
“Zhang En has been inside for over an hour. Based on his talent and strength, he could stay inside for a month, at least.” Yuan Liang took into account in a serious tone.
Ever since the Ghuang Sacred Pool appeared, there had not been anyone who could still stay in it for an entire month. In fact, the longest time a person cultivated inside was twenty-two days.
This was due to the potential of the pond medicine energy that was not easily absorbed and purified.
When the person who entered the pond reached a certain limit and was no longer able to withstand the siege of the pill dragons inside, they could only give up and get out.
Xinshui's eyes sparkled, saying, "Who knows, maybe Zhang En can stay inside for two months, giving us all a surprise."
“Hehe, two months?” A sarcastic voice rang out in the ears of the two people, “You guys really treated Zhang En like a peerless genius, not even a ten-star Golden God could remain inside. Pool during it.”
Mou Li appeared in front of them in an instant.
Then, the sound of wind was heard again. Chu Yan, You Shang, and the other Elders arrived almost simultaneously.
“I didn't expect Zhang En would choose to enter the Sacred Pool first.” Upon arriving, the mocking words of Maung Quan sounded, "It seems that he is not as confident as he looks to pass the Holy Temple examination."
