Chapter 2717: Chapter 2693: Level 12 Divine Pool

Twelve Divine Pools?

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng had a new concept of the Transcendence Pond. However, Lin Feng felt that this divine pool couldn’t be as simple as Jing Po described. If anyone could enter the Transcendence Pond, it wouldn’t be one of the three most powerful forces in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. He then asked Jing Po, "What benefits come from entering the divine pool? And what are the dangers?"

Jing Po thought Lin Feng was really smart, and with a smile, he explained in detail to Lin Feng, "The Twelve Divine Pools, as the name suggests, are twelve blood pools of varying degrees. The blood water inside has accumulated over countless years and consists of the blood and flesh of countless cultivators, allowing cultivators to rapidly improve. If one can withstand it, it will bring unexpected benefits to the physical body, almost reaching a state of rebirth and divinity."

After a pause, he continued, "But cultivators must be aware of their limits. If they choose a Transcendence Pond above their capability and cannot endure it, the only outcome is death. For example, at each level of the divine pool, one can feel the aura emitted by the pool’s water. If a cultivator’s strength is only at the initial stage of Divine Venerable, choosing the later stage of Divine Venerable would be unbearable. They would immediately dissolve into blood water upon stepping in."

"What! Blood water!" Tao Tao exclaimed softly after hearing this. She never expected that the Transcendence Pond would be so terrifying.

Lin Feng gently patted Tao Tao’s hand and then asked, "Senior, do you often go into the divine pool to cultivate?"

Jing Po smiled and said, "Every cultivator can only experience it once in their lifetime. This is what makes the Transcendence Pond special. So when you encounter a bottleneck, entering the Transcendence Pond will yield unexpected rewards. But as always, choice is paramount."

He, along with the twelve elders, only went into the Transcendence Pond after reaching the peak of Divine Venerable, and even at the eleventh level, they were nearly unable to withstand it. Throughout history, no one has dared to enter the twelfth level. He only advanced to the semi-stage of Divine Emperor upon exiting the Transcendence Pond; thus, the twelfth-level divine pool is a nightmare where no one dares to tread.

After listening to Jing Po, Lin Feng pondered for some time before deciding to let Ma Biaohu and Tao Tao each try once. After all, reaching the Transcendence Pond is not easy, and such an opportunity must be cherished. He truly wanted to experience the legendary twelfth-level divine pool. He then said to Jing Po, "May I ask, senior, which level of the divine pool would you suggest for my two friends?"

Jing Po looked at Ma Biaohu and Tao Tao, closed his eyes to sense them, and then said to Lin Feng, "I can only give a suggestion. Conservatively estimating, this young brother should manage the eighth-level divine pool, while this young lady should have no problem with the sixth level."

After hearing this, Tao Tao looked at Lin Feng with some fear. She broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing that the pool was entirely of blood water, while Ma Biaohu looked unusually excited and eager to try.

"Then we trouble the senior to guide us for a try," Lin Feng said to Jing Po.

"Alright." Jing Po, after hearing Lin Feng, got up and led Lin Feng’s group down another direction of the tunnel. The steep stone steps led directly underground, and the lower they went, the stronger the pressure Lin Feng felt. On the stone wall next to the steps was a hidden door, and when Jing Po pushed it open, six bright red words appeared on the door.

"This is the sixth-level divine pool," Jing Po said.

The divine pool before them wasn’t large, only a few miles in circumference. Looking at the crimson pool, it seemed like a hot spring, with layers of mist rising. The steam condensed into bright red droplets on the surrounding stone walls, which then turned into pale red mist filling the air.

Seeing this, Lin Feng said to Tao Tao, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you."

Tao Tao timidly placed her jade foot, touching the red pool water without discomfort, and then carefully immersed her whole body in the pool. With her strength at the middle stage of Divine King, Tao Tao was definitely able to adapt to the pool water. Only after seeing Tao Tao comfortable did Lin Feng leave at ease.

Subsequently, Jing Po led Lin Feng and Ma Biaohu further down, and Lin Feng said to Jing Po, "Let’s head directly to the tenth level."

Lin Feng intended to send Ma Biaohu to the tenth-level divine pool. Ma Biaohu’s physical body was unlike others, and advancing at the eighth level wouldn’t yield significant effects. Moreover, Lin Feng believed that after the trials at the Dragon Clan Residence, Ma Biaohu was fully capable of accepting the Transcendence Pond’s baptism.

"Brother Lin, we mustn’t be reckless," Jing Po reminded Lin Feng. He could feel that Ma Biaohu’s strength was only at the initial stage of Divine Venerable, and if he rashly entered the tenth-level divine pool, he could die. Perhaps Lin Feng didn’t realize the power of the Transcendence Pond, so he kindly warned him.

"Senior need not worry. My brother is different," Lin Feng looked at Ma Biaohu. Ma Biaohu remained silent; whatever Boss arranged, he would do, knowing he wouldn’t be harmed.

Seeing Lin Feng was resolute, Jing Po didn’t say more and directly took Ma Biaohu to the tenth-level divine pool. Without a word, Ma Biaohu took off his shirt and jumped into the pool. However, he never anticipated the pool’s backlash to be so intense, feeling a deadly burning sensation as soon as he immersed himself in the water.

"Ah!" Ma Biaohu let out a roar, but it was obvious that his physical body was being burned, and the blood within his body was rushing. He closed his eyes tightly, clenched his teeth, and endured it.

Seeing this, Jing Po instead breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect Ma Biaohu to be able to endure the trial of a Level Ten Divine Pool. As long as he didn’t turn into blood the moment he entered the water, he would slowly accept the temperature, and Jing Po was less worried.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, wasn’t concerned at all. He understood Ma Biaohu; although it was very dangerous, Ma Biaohu would definitely make it through. So he said to Jing Po, "Let’s go."

Exiting the Level Ten Divine Pool’s door and walking down a bit further, Jing Po thought Lin Feng would head to the Level Eleven Divine Pool, given Lin Feng’s strength. He himself had tried the Level Eleven Divine Pool before, and he said to Lin Feng, "Young Friend Lin, just ahead is the Level Eleven Divine Pool."

Lin Feng looked at Jing Po with a slight smile and said, "Elder, I can go to Level Twelve by myself."

What!

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Jing Po was stunned. In his understanding, even someone at the Divine Venerable Peak, and he himself was at the level of half a Divine Emperor, wouldn’t dare venture into the Level Twelve Divine Pool. Though he couldn’t detect Lin Feng’s level aura, he didn’t want Lin Feng to take such a risk. Countless years ago, someone tried the Level Twelve Divine Pool only to be counteracted by its aura immediately upon entering the room and turned to dust once they jumped into the pool. Jing Po advised, "Brother Lin, trust me, Level Twelve is really not doable."

Lin Feng looked at Jing Po, knowing he was worried, but he was confident. So he calmly said to Jing Po, "Don’t worry, Elder, I’m fine."

Seeing that Lin Feng was resolute, Jing Po couldn’t persuade him otherwise, so he had to agree. However, he wanted to accompany Lin Feng because he had never seen anyone enter the Level Twelve Transcendence Pond and survive.

Standing at the lowest level’s largest entrance, Jing Po looked at Lin Feng, who still appeared calm. Jing Po placed his hand on the invisible wall, and instantly a stone door appeared above, automatically opening.

Upon entering, the sight before Lin Feng left him in awe. The pool water wasn’t the usual bright red of other levels but was so red it appeared transparent, clearly reflecting his image from above. Lin Feng walked towards the pool along the steps, clearly feeling the intense aura emanating from the water and a suffocating sensation.

As Lin Feng approached the edge of the pool and was about to step in, the faint red water sprang to life, forming a barrier and rushing madly towards Lin Feng as if to engulf him. The water shot up tens of feet high, submerging Lin Feng.

This!

Seeing this scene, Jing Po was speechless. The only thought in his mind was that Lin Feng had been swallowed up by the Level Twelve Divine Pool. But just at this moment, a humanoid figure stood up from the pool’s bottom, the faint red water dripping from his head and body as if he were drenched in blood.

Incredibly, he survived!

Seeing Lin Feng stand up, Jing Po let out a long sigh of relief. He truly didn’t expect Lin Feng to survive this trial. Now he finally understood why others spoke of Lin Feng with such legendary regard.

Lin Feng trembled as he stood in the pool and slowly sat down. The scene just now had nearly cost him his life. He could clearly feel his flesh being on the verge of dissolving in the water, more dangerous by several times than taming any Heaven and Earth Strange Fire. He felt as if his muscles were being stripped from his body, as if countless hands were tearing at his flesh. If he hadn’t quickly condensed Yuangang within his body, he would’ve died in this pool.

The faint red water spread around Lin Feng as the center, seemingly igniting a fire at the pool’s bottom, causing the water to roll continuously. A faint red mist enveloped the entire room, and even Jing Po, standing at a distance, could feel the burning heat of the pool’s water.

Even though he was seated, Lin Feng still felt as if countless tiny needles were piercing every acupoint in his body, stimulating his every nerve, causing his blood to rush. His face in the water turned ghastly pale. If not for the Eternal Divine Flame protecting his body and the Seven-Colored Essence Gang presence, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand such a trial. Even so, he felt close to his limit, so he took out an Elixir from the space and consumed it.

After circulating his qi for about four hours, beads of sweat dripped from Lin Feng’s forehead, and the surrounding water flow calmed down. Seeing this, Jing Po felt relieved and then turned to close the door and left.

After an unknown duration, Lin Feng finally opened his eyes in the pool. He had completely adapted to its water, and no matter how much he circulated his strength, the water remained motionless. He could distinctly feel that his body had reached a new level of strength, as if his muscles were coated with a thin red film.

Lin Feng leaped up, landed by the pool’s edge, and then left the Level Twelve Divine Pool.
