479: Chapter 479 The Golden Toad Clears the Area Online, Underwear Flying Across the Field in a Spectacular Scene!

At this moment, the hundreds of top Prodigies who had fought their way through the Ascension Ancient Road had not a shred of dignity left.

Some were swept away by the airwaves, tumbling dozens of times through the starry sky in positions that were unsightly to the extreme.

Others didn't even have time to fly before being slammed into the rubble piles at the edge of the floating island, leaving them battered and bruised.

Some grabbed their companions' ankles in an attempt to steady themselves, only for both to be blown away together, forming the shape of the character for 'person' in mid-air.

One unlucky fellow even had the underwear in his storage ring shaken out by the airwaves as he was blown away, drifting conspicuously through the starry sky.

In less than three breaths' time...

Within a radius of ten thousand miles, not a single extra figure remained.

The entrance to the Immortal Passing Pool, which had been so crowded it was impassable, was now open enough to race horses through.

The Golden Toad closed its mouth in satisfaction.

It sprawled back down at the entrance, its three golden vertical pupils staring left, right, and at the starry sky above.

A three-hundred-and-sixty-degree defense with no blind spots.

Not even a single fly could hope to fly in.

Watching this scene, the muscles on Qian Duoduo's fat face twitched several times.

[One hundred million...]

[Just to feed a toad...]

[Boss, your spending habits really... as always, make my heart stop.]

He stole a glance at Su Chen.

As expected.

There was no expression at all on his boss's calm and indifferent face.

Su Chen turned around, glanced at his group of teammates who were still collectively petrified, and waved his hand impatiently.

"What are you standing there for?"

"Let's go."

"Don't waste my hundred million."

When those last words left his mouth, there was a trace of heartache in his tone, but no one noticed.

They only saw the back of the Youth in White Robes as he walked toward the Immortal Passing Pool with his hands behind his back.

Composed.

Calm.

It was as if that Great Emperor Golden Toad behind him wasn't a watchdog he had bribed, but a mount he had raised for tens of thousands of years.

That naturally born aura caused Jian Buping to silently add a few more points to his 'Boss Worship Meter' in his heart.

Su Chen walked to the edge of the pool.

He wasn't in a hurry to jump in.

He first crouched down and extended a finger, tapping the milky-white pool water.

The water temperature transmitted through his fingertip.

Warm.

Neither too hot nor too cold; it was exactly the most comfortable temperature for a bath.

Countless golden Law runes swam slowly on the water's surface like little golden fish.

A thick aura rushed toward him, and his pores couldn't help but open up.

[Hmm.]

[Water temperature is acceptable.]

[Immortal Qi concentration... is also okay.]

[There are just no massage jets. One star review.]

Su Chen found a fault in his mind and then stood up.

He turned to look at Wang Baobao, who was already jumping up and down in place with impatience beside him.

The little girl's eyes were fixed intently on the pool water, and her tongue was almost sticking out, looking just like a kitten staring at goldfish by a fish tank.

"Baobao."

"Hmm?" Wang Baobao looked up abruptly.

"You go soak over there." Su Chen pointed to the farthest corner of the pool.

Wang Baobao tilted her head, not understanding.

Su Chen remained expressionless.

[I'm afraid you'll drink the pool water.]

[There's only so much water in this pool. If you gulp it down like a drink, what are we supposed to soak in? Air?]

But what he said out loud was different.

"The Immortal Qi is thicker over there. It'll be good for you."

As soon as Wang Baobao heard the words 'good for you,' she immediately stopped hesitating.

She gave an 'Awoo' cheer, kicked off her little shoes in a few motions, and jumped in with a 'plop' on her two bare, fair little feet.

The splash rose over ten feet high.

Her whole body sank to the bottom and then popped back up, her large black eyes blinking twice above the water's surface.

Then she opened her mouth and took a huge gulp of the pool water.

"Gulp."

The corner of Su Chen's eye twitched violently.

[I knew it.]

He decided to pretend he hadn't seen it.

"Jian Buping and Qian Duoduo, you guys go to the northwest corner. Monk Jiese, the southeast corner. You women, the north side."

Jian Buping was the first to move.

He picked up the starfall sword from the ground and took a deep breath, an uncontrollable excitement flickering in his eyes.

Without a word, he flipped into the water, causing a series of ripples on the surface.

The dense Immortal Dao Laws instantly enveloped him.

All the pores in his body burst open simultaneously, and a stream of turbid Qi rushed out from the crown of his head. His entire aura climbed a level in just a few breaths.

The monk Monk Jiese pressed his palms together and uttered a 'Sādhu'.

Then he ripped off the mismatched black studded robe he was wearing, revealing a set of muscles so solid they made one's scalp tingle, and jumped in with a 'thud'.

The phantom of a Vajra Dharma Image flashed behind him and was immediately filled to the brim by the Immortal Qi of the Immortal Passing Pool.

Hua Nongying hesitated for a moment.

She looked at Su Chen.

Then she looked at the pool water.

An unnatural blush appeared on her face.

"Young Master... this pool, men and women bathing together..."

"You are the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect," Su Chen said without turning his head. "The author of 'Three Hundred Chapters of the Heart Sutra of Enchantment'. You're talking to me about modesty?"

Hua Nongying's face turned even redder.

But she was, after all, an eight-hundred-year-old fox who knew well that opportunities wait for no one.

She bit her lip, turned sideways, and slid into the water as elegantly as possible.

Su Chen was the last to enter the water.

He leaned against the pool wall with his hands behind his head, half his body submerged in the warm water.

The milky-white immortal liquid covered his chest.

Countless golden Law runes swam and circled around him before diving into his pores.

That feeling—

Tingly.

Transparent.

It was as if thousands of gentle little hands were clearing every blocked acupoint in his Meridians for him.

The spiritual energy within him began to boil spontaneously.

Under the washing of the Immortal Passing Pool's Immortal Qi, the shackles of the Great Saint First Heaven emitted the sound of faint cracking.

But Su Chen was in no hurry to charge through the Bottleneck.

He closed his eyes. Three beautiful figures flashed through his mind.

[Wait for me.]

[I'll be there soon.]

He said softly in his heart.

Then he cast aside all distracting thoughts.

He sank into the deepest Immortal Dao baptism of the Immortal Passing Pool.

On the pool's surface...

The auras of successive Breakthroughs began to surge violently.

Golden pillars of Law light shot up into the sky from above everyone's heads.

At the entrance, the Three-legged Golden Toad yawned, shifted into a more comfortable position, and half-closed its three vertical pupils.

It was very professional.

It didn't let even a single grain of stardust in.

Meanwhile, ten thousand miles away...

Those hundreds of Prodigies who had been blown away by the Imperial Might were crawling miserably out from various meteorite fragments.

Their bodies were covered in black and blue bruises.

Their hair was a mess, their Daoist robes were torn, and their auras were unstable.

But the first thing they did was not heal their wounds or tidy their appearance.

Instead, they all turned their heads in unison, looking toward the Immortal Passing Pool.

Their eyes were filled with resentment, anger, and a sense of grievance.

As well as a bone-deep fear that could not be hidden no matter how hard they tried.

"Is he crazy? Using a dragon horn to bribe a Great Emperor Realm Golden Toad to be his doorman?"

"...But the Golden Toad really is guarding the door."

"I don't understand! I completely don't understand! What's wrong with this world? You can buy off a Great Emperor with money? Then what have we been bitter-cultivating for?"

"Shut up, he's rich. What do you have? You have jack squat."

Silence spread through the crowd.

After a long time...

One Prodigy spoke up weakly.

"So... are we just going to wait here? Wait for him to finish soaking?"

"..."

"..."

No one answered.

But the expressions on everyone's faces had already given the answer.

Wait.

They could only wait.

Who told them to have an incomparable Vicious Beast guarding the door?
