The school won’t blame me for draining the divine pond, right?
The two Assessment Elders led Lin Dong, treading on air.
Those in the Hua Hai Realm can briefly fly in the air, while those in the Tiangang Realm can tread on air.
Before long, the group arrived at a majestic, lush green mountain peak, where the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was incredibly dense.
“Is this the Divine Pool?”
Before Lin Dong’s eyes was a Divine Pool large enough to accommodate dozens of people, filled with milky white, crystal-clear liquid, enveloped in a misty aura.
“Whoosh!”
Just inhaling a single breath of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi made Lin Dong’s body and mind incredibly comfortable, not to mention cultivating while sitting in it; it would definitely bring great benefits.
“That’s right!”
“The Divine Pool is a divine liquid essence refined by the Academy using Spiritual Veins and countless Heaven And Earth Treasures. It can assist Cultivators in Cultivating, Breaking Through Realms, refining their Physical Body, cleansing their meridians, and other effects.”
“There have been no fewer than three Inner Courtyard Disciples who Broke Through to the Tiangang Realm in the Divine Pool.”
“Inner Courtyard Disciples fight tooth and nail, yet still might not secure a spot. You should thank Elder Hu!”
The Assessment Elders were somewhat envious of Lin Dong’s treatment; even they had never had the opportunity to Cultivate in the Divine Pool.
Only exceptionally outstanding Disciples, or those who made significant contributions to the Academy, had the chance to Cultivate in the Divine Pool.
The implication of his words was clear: the Divine Pool spots were not even enough for Inner Courtyard Disciples, so it was even less likely for Outer Courtyard Disciples to have the chance to Cultivate there.
Moreover, the Divine Pool required an immense amount of resources to maintain, such as spiritual liquid and Heaven And Earth Treasures.
Each activation meant the disappearance of a huge sum of resources.
Lin Dong nodded inwardly, understanding that Elder Hu had secured this spot for him, and his gratitude towards Elder Hu deepened. He vowed to repay Elder Hu when he had the chance.
“Oh, Elder!”
Lin Dong said, “Disciple wishes to ask, since the Divine Pool is so precious, if Disciple were to absorb all the divine liquid from the Divine Pool, would it be alright? The Academy wouldn’t blame me, would it?”
“If you can absorb it, feel free to absorb all of it. The Academy won’t feel pained!”
“Just absorb it without worry.”
The two Assessment Elders exchanged glances and couldn’t help but chuckle, clearly not believing that Lin Dong could absorb all the divine liquid from the Divine Pool.
After all, the essence of the Divine Pool was so rich that it was enough for several people to Break Through to the Tiangang Realm.
Lin Dong was just a small Cultivator who had just Broke Through to the first level of the Hua Hai Realm. How much could he absorb in three days?
“With the Elder’s words, I feel at ease!”
Lin Dong took their words seriously, grinned, and couldn’t help but rub his hands together.
Others might not be able to do it, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t. The Devouring Heaven Scripture could devour anything, and even if it couldn’t absorb it, it could convert it into gluttony points.
“Alright, go Cultivate. We won’t disturb you anymore.”
“You have three days to Cultivate. Once the time is up, you must leave the Divine Pool!”
“Of course, we’ll be waiting outside. You can call us anytime if you need anything.” The two Elders left after leaving these few words.
Lin Dong cupped his hands, “Thank you, Elders!”
A voice echoed back, “Hmm! Absorb more divine liquid, but also act within your capabilities. Do not be greedy, lest you gain nothing but loss!”
Lin Dong nodded, took off his top, and stepped into the Divine Pool.
Boom!
Lin Dong sat cross-legged and immediately activated the Devouring Heaven Scripture.
The divine liquid from the Divine Pool surged towards Lin Dong like crazy, forming a whirlpool. Essence poured in through every pore on his body, transforming into pure energy.
“Boom!”
Before long, Lin Dong Broke Through a minor Realm on the spot, reaching the second level of the Hua Hai Realm.
He had already absorbed a lot of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Milk, reaching a Bottleneck, and with the divine liquid from the Divine Pool, he naturally Broke Through to the second level.
“The Divine Pool is indeed extraordinary!”
The Divine Pool gave Lin Dong a feeling that its effects were much stronger than those of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Milk, containing extremely rich Heaven and Earth essence.
No wonder Inner Courtyard Disciples vied to Cultivate here.
Seven Stars Academy indeed had profound foundations to even open such a Divine Pool for Disciples to Cultivate.
...
At the same time.
The news of Lin Dong winning first place in the Outer Courtyard and entering the Divine Pool for baptism had spread completely, and Inner Courtyard Disciples were all discussing it animatedly.
“What’s going on?”
“A Divine Pool spot was actually given to an Outer Courtyard Disciple?”
“There aren’t even enough for us Inner Courtyard Disciples, so why was it given to a little rookie from the Outer Courtyard?”
“What’s more, I heard that Yang Dianfeng had been striving for this Divine Pool spot for several months, and just as he was about to get it, an Outer Courtyard Disciple suddenly appeared!”
“Yang Dianfeng? Is that the Prodigy ranked tenth in the Inner Courtyard—Yang Dianfeng?”
“That’s right, it’s him!”
“Hiss, Yang Dianfeng is known as a madman. With his personality, he definitely won’t swallow this slight.”
“Indeed, but I heard he’s in seclusion. When he comes out, there’s likely to be a good show.”
“Heh heh, it seems like the Outer Courtyard Disciples entering the Inner Courtyard this time will be lively!”
...
Meanwhile, in Yunlan City, the Bai Family.
“Lin Dong, you’re courting death!”
The Bai Family Head’s furious roar echoed throughout the entire Bai Family, and the oppressive aura of his Late Stage Hua Hai Realm swept in all directions, causing everyone in the Bai Family to tremble in fear.
“Clatter! Bang!”
In the main hall, the Bai Family Head was filled with raging anger. He then overturned the tea table, and the teacups shattered. The Bai Family Elders below were as silent as cicadas in winter.
No one dared to provoke the Bai Family Head’s wrath.
Just now, the Bai Family Head had received news of Bai Han’s demise in the Secret Realm.
He didn’t believe it was such a coincidence that a Yao Beast suddenly appeared and devoured Bai Han. He felt that Lin Dong was behind it.
He attributed everything to Lin Dong.
At this moment, the Bai Family Head’s eyes were bloodshot, like a beast ready to devour someone.
He had originally thought that Bai Han had countless trump cards and could easily kill Lin Dong.
But unexpectedly, not only did his son die tragically in the belly of a Yao Beast, but he also lost the ancestral Magic Treasure, the bronze bell, to Lin Dong.
Losing both his son and his troops!
This was an absolutely immense hatred and humiliation. If this matter got out, the Bai Family would definitely become the laughingstock of the entire Yunlan City.
“Ah…”
“My Han’er!”
“I’m going to kill that little beast, Lin Dong!!”
The Bai Family Head was furious beyond measure. He had placed all of the Bai Family’s hopes on his two sons.
But now, Bai Hao had an arm crippled by Lin Dong, and Bai Han died at Lin Dong’s hands. Lin Dong alone had crushed all of his Bai Family’s hopes!
“Someone!”
“Pass down my order, attack the Lin Family!”
The Bai Family Head couldn’t wait another moment. He waved his hand and commanded.
It was simply because Lin Dong’s Prodigy-like talent made him feel a strong sense of threat and fear.
If Lin Dong were given another year or two, wouldn’t he trample over these old Hua Hai Realm Peak experts?
If he wasn’t eliminated early, he would definitely become a major problem for the Bai Family in the future!
An Elder stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, “Family Head, calm down! This matter should be planned carefully!”
“My son is dead, how can you tell me to calm down?” The Bai Family Head roared, “Someone, go and bring his son here. Kill his son in front of him, let him experience the feeling of losing a child, and see if he can calm down!”
“Family Head, I don’t have a son!”
“Then go and bring his daughter here!”
“No! Family Head!”
This Elder panicked, frantically slapping his own face, but unfortunately, he couldn’t change the fact.
The Bai Family Head looked at the Elders, “Does anyone else have an opinion?”
How could the Elders dare to speak? They all shook their heads.
An Elder hesitated for a moment and said, “Family Head, I heard that the City Lord’s Mansion experts will be leaving Yunlan City tomorrow for some business. How about we wait until tomorrow?”
“Alright!”
The Bai Family Head nodded, “Pass down my order, quickly gather all experts of our clan above the Chongmai Realm. Tomorrow, we will attack the Lin Family, reclaim our Bai Family’s ancestral Magic Treasure, and avenge my son!”
Even if it meant offending the City Lord’s Mansion, he wanted to destroy the Lin Family and kill that little beast, Lin Dong.
The Bai Family Head seemed to recall something and said, “To be safe, send a message to ‘that person’ and tell him that as long as he handles the City Lord’s Mansion, our Bai Family will agree to his terms!”
The Bai Family Elders’ pupils contracted, as if they knew what powerful existence ‘that person’ was.
