112: Hongmeng Ding comes out and takes it for himself

The Elder's gaze slowly swept over Jiang Chen and the others, finally resting on Yuan Changfeng.

"This pool contains the vast life Origin accumulated by our Taichu Dao Academy since its establishment."

His voice was steady.

"You all have one day to comprehend and Cultivate here."

"The power in the pool is boundless; how much you absorb depends entirely on your own fortune and ability."

"But..."

The Elder's voice paused, and his tone became cautionary.

"You must remember that the endless vitality contained in the pool is not something you can fully bear."

"You must proceed gradually and not be greedy or reckless."

"Otherwise, your Dao Foundation will be damaged, and your Divine Soul will suffer backlash."

"At that time, do not blame this old man for not warning you."

With that, the Elder's figure disappeared from the spot, leaving behind the group with their various thoughts.

Yuan Changfeng's breathing had become somewhat ragged.

He stared intently at the Reincarnation Pool, an uncontrollable longing in his eyes.

As long as he could use the Reincarnation Pool, he would be able to reshape his Dao Foundation and advance even further!

By then, he would repay the humiliation he had suffered during this period a hundred, a thousand times over to Jiang Chen!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jiang Chen's voice, through a sound transmission, reached Nangong Mingyue and Xiao Tiandu's ears separately.

"When we enter the Reincarnation Pool later, don't worry about anything else."

"Absorb as much as you can, at the fastest possible speed."

Xiao Tiandu was slightly stunned upon hearing this, but quickly nodded without hesitation, not asking a single question.

Whatever the Saint told him to do, he would do.

Nangong Mingyue, however, frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and responded with a sound transmission.

"What are you going to do?"

Jiang Chen did not answer.

He merely turned his head and gave Nangong Mingyue a smile of unknown meaning.

That smile made Nangong Mingyue's heart inexplicably skip a beat, and she hurriedly averted her gaze, not meeting his eyes.

This scoundrel must be plotting something extraordinary again!

The next moment.

Ten figures, without distinction, leaped into the Reincarnation Pool simultaneously.

Boom!

An unimaginably vast life essence Qi and profound Dao rhyme instantly enveloped everyone!

Just at the moment of entering the pool, everyone felt their limbs, bones, and every pore being cleansed.

Yuan Changfeng, even more impatiently, sat cross-legged and frantically circulated his Cultivation Technique, devouring and absorbing the energy in the pool.

The injuries his Divine Soul sustained earlier in the Taichu Sword Tomb also began to slowly heal.

Ye Xihe's body was enveloped by Dao principles, and her Primal Sacred Body resonated mysteriously with the Dao rhyme in the pool water.

Ao Ya, Mo Yuan, Golden Blazing Sun, and the others also employed their respective methods, none willing to fall behind, stirring up waves of energy whirlpools in the pool, frantically seizing this Opportunity.

For a time, the entire Reincarnation Pool surged with energy and emanated Dao rhyme.

Jiang Chen's side, however, seemed much calmer.

He simply sat casually, allowing the energy to wash over his body, even wearing an expression of enjoyment on his face.

Although Nangong Mingyue followed Jiang Chen's instructions and was fully absorbing the energy from the pool water.

Her beautiful eyes, however, always involuntarily glanced at him.

"What exactly does this guy want to do?"

Feeling her gaze, Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes and winked at her.

Then, under Nangong Mingyue's stunned gaze, his body began to slowly sink.

Little by little, he submerged into the misty, bottomless pool water.

This scene, however, was not noticed by anyone else.

Everyone else was immersed in the pleasure of their Cultivation rapidly increasing, frantically absorbing the energy in the pool, racing against time.

Jiang Chen's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

At the bottom of the pool.

Life energy so dense it had almost materialized formed layers of white mist here, completely obscuring the view of the pool bottom.

Jiang Chen steadied himself.

"Almost there."

He slowly raised his hand.

Buzz!

An ancient, unadorned bronze cauldron, inscribed with Dao runes, appeared out of thin air in his palm.

It was precisely the Primordial Chaos Suppressing Origin Cauldron!

"Reincarnation Pool, ten-thousand-year Spiritual Root, Life Dao principle..."

He murmured softly.

"Good stuff."

"From today on, you will be surnamed Jiang."

As his voice fell.

Jiang Chen injected a wisp of spiritual power into the Primordial Chaos Suppressing Origin Cauldron.

Buzz!

The small cauldron trembled slightly.

Immediately after.

At the mouth of the Primordial Chaos Suppressing Origin Cauldron, a tiny, almost imperceptible whirlpool quietly formed.

The whirlpool was initially only the size of a needlepoint, silent, yet it carried a terrifying suction force capable of devouring the heavens and earth!

Yuan Changfeng, who was cultivating cross-legged, suddenly frowned.

For some reason, he felt... he felt that the speed at which the Origin energy in the Reincarnation Pool was flowing towards him seemed... a little slower?

A delusion?

He shook his head, thinking he was too sensitive, and once again focused his mind, absorbing with all his might.

And right at the bottom of the pool.

The tiny whirlpool formed by the Primordial Chaos Suppressing Origin Cauldron suddenly accelerated its rotation by a notch.

The entire bottom of the Reincarnation Pool instantly formed a gigantic, terrifying whirlpool!

The vast life essence Qi in the pool water, the profound Dao aura, the Origin energy that had existed for countless tens of thousands of years... at this moment, transformed into visible torrents of energy, being frantically devoured by the Primordial Chaos Suppressing Origin Cauldron!

The entire Reincarnation Pool began to tremble violently.

The originally stable Dao rhyme aura completely erupted!

At the same time.

The expressions on the faces of the people above the pool water suddenly froze.

Yuan Changfeng, who was frantically absorbing energy, was the first to notice something was wrong.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of horror flashing within them.

"What's going on?!"

The energy in the pool water... was rapidly draining away!

No!

It wasn't draining!

It was being... forcibly siphoned away!

Everyone who was Cultivating was startled by this sudden change, forcibly withdrawing from their Cultivation state.

They were horrified to discover that the spiritual power, which was originally so dense it had almost materialized, was becoming thinner at a visibly rapid rate!

Even stranger, they found that they could no longer absorb even a trace of Dao rhyme aura!

"What's the situation?!"

"What happened?!"

"Damn it! My Dao rhyme comprehension was interrupted!"

Everyone was both shocked and angry.

They all looked in the direction of the energy drain.

They saw a gigantic, heart-stopping black whirlpool rapidly forming in the depths of the misty pool water.

It was simply a colossal abyss-like maw devouring all things, threatening to completely swallow the entire Reincarnation Pool!

Yuan Changfeng stared intently at the whirlpool, the trace of color that had just appeared on his face instantly draining away completely.

His Dao Heart, which had just healed a little, seemed to hear another crisp 'crack' sound.

An extreme sense of unease instantly surged into his heart!

He looked at the whirlpool, his face greatly changed!

"No..."

"No!!!"
