396: Yin-Yang Divine Pond

"Celestial Venerable also knows the power of the Five Elements Divine Clan. Although Xu Qing is not afraid, he also doesn't want to needlessly provoke enemies."

Xu Qing smiled slightly, his tone indifferent, but a profound light flashed in his eyes, as if he was weighing something.

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, pondering to himself. Xu Qing's words seemed to express difficulty, but in reality, they contained a great deal of information.

Firstly, Xu Qing was not afraid of the Five Elements Divine Clan, which meant that the power behind Xu Qing was by no means ordinary, perhaps with a profound foundation just like theirs.

Secondly, Xu Qing's words were very clear: he was not afraid of the Five Elements Divine Clan, but a single Eight-Leaf Yin-Yang Divine Flower was not enough for him to offend them.

He couldn't help but scrutinize the young man before him, thinking to himself, "This person is so young, yet he dares to openly state he isn't afraid of the Five Elements Divine Clan. Could it be that the power behind him is extraordinary? Perhaps even on par with our ancient families."

Thinking of this, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's heart stirred, but his face remained impassive. He merely nodded slightly, his tone carrying a hint of probing, "Fellow Daoist's words are quite surprising to this old man. The Five Elements Divine Clan is powerful, but Fellow Daoist seems not to put them in his eyes?"

Xu Qing smiled lightly upon hearing this, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes, as if he didn't care about Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's probing.

He shook his head slightly, his tone calm, "Celestial Venerable worries too much. The Family Xu Qing belongs to is merely a reclusive minor clan. Although the Five Elements Divine Clan is strong, the Ancient Land of Dao is vast. If I can't defeat them, I can still hide."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable understood that Xu Qing was unwilling to elaborate, but seeing Xu Qing's candid expression, which didn't seem feigned, he didn't press further.

In any case, if it was just about raising the stakes, he could still do it!

He then smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist is not afraid of the Five Elements Divine Clan, then this old man can rest assured! I wonder... does Fellow Daoist have any other requests? If this old man can fulfill them, I will certainly not be stingy!"

As he said this, his tone carried a hint of sincerity, and his gaze met Xu Qing's directly, clearly wanting to use this Opportunity to befriend Xu Qing.

After all, a strong Cultivator who wasn't afraid of the Five Elements Divine Clan, if a good relationship could be forged with him, would undoubtedly be a great help to the Yin-Yang Divine Clan.

Xu Qing's eyes glinted with a smile upon hearing this, as if he had long anticipated Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's response.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Since Celestial Venerable is so generous, then Xu Qing will not be polite. I heard that your clan has a Divine Pool, which is a creation that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth, offering unimaginable benefits to Cultivators who Cultivate the Great Dao of Yin and Yang."

"I wonder... if I could have the honor of entering the Divine Pool to Cultivate for a while?"

"Divine Pool?"

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist... also Cultivates the Great Dao of Yin and Yang?" Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable hesitated for a moment, asking tentatively.

Xu Qing smiled slightly, not directly answering. Instead, he gently waved his hand, and two divine Dragons, one black and one white, suddenly soared behind him, formed by the Great Dao of Yin and Yang.

The two divine Dragons coiled and danced, exuding a powerful Dao rhyme, as if the Yin and Yang forces of heaven and earth were being drawn by them, and the aura within the entire hall solidified.

"Major Achievement of Immortality!"

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's pupils suddenly constricted at the sight, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his eyes filled with disbelief.

As the Celestial Venerable of the Yin-Yang Divine Clan, his understanding of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang had already reached an extremely high Realm, but the Great Dao of Yin and Yang displayed by this young man was in no way inferior to his own!

He never expected that Xu Qing, with only a Late Stage Dao Lord's Cultivation, had already Cultivated the Great Dao of Yin and Yang to such a Realm, even on par with him!

Seeing Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable's reaction, Xu Qing merely smiled slightly, his tone humble, "Just a stroke of luck."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable came back to his senses, a wry smile appearing on his face, and he shook his head with a sigh, "I'm old, I'm old... Although this old man cannot discern Fellow Daoist's age, I presume it does not exceed a thousand years. To have such a profound understanding of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang at such an age truly makes this old man feel ashamed!"

As he said this, his tone carried a hint of emotion, clearly shaken by Xu Qing's talent.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Very well! Since Fellow Daoist has a predestined connection with my clan, then the Divine Pool shall be lent to Fellow Daoist for use. If it can help Fellow Daoist advance further, it will also be considered a good karma forged between my clan and Fellow Daoist."

Xu Qing's face showed a satisfied smile upon hearing this, and he then cupped his fists, "Then many thanks, Celestial Venerable."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable waved his hand, smiling, "Fellow Daoist, no need to be polite. However, the Divine Pool is a vital area of my clan. I can only open it for Fellow Daoist for one year. After one year, regardless of the harvest, Fellow Daoist must come out. I ask Fellow Daoist not to make things difficult for this old man."

Xu Qing nodded, "Celestial Venerable, rest assured, Xu Qing will bear it in mind."

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other implicitly.

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable was secretly pleased. Befriending a strong Cultivator like Xu Qing was undoubtedly a great help to the Yin-Yang Divine Clan.

As for Xu Qing, a profound light flashed in his eyes, as if everything was within his grasp.

Three days later, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable personally opened the Restriction of the Yin-Yang Divine Pool for Xu Qing.

The light curtain around the Divine Pool slowly dissipated, and a rich Yin and Yang Qi rushed out, as if even the air had become somewhat viscous.

The Yin-Yang Divine Pool was one of the greatest treasures of the Yin-Yang Divine Clan, rumored to be formed from the heart of the Yin-Yang Divine Clan's ancestor after his demise, containing supreme Yin and Yang Dao rhyme.

If a living being could Cultivate within it, not only would their Great Dao of Yin and Yang be greatly enhanced, but even their Cultivation and Physical Body might Breakthrough their Bottleneck and reach a higher Realm.

Xu Qing naturally wouldn't miss such an Opportunity. He stood before the Divine Pool, his gaze profound, a hint of anticipation and solemnity flashing in his eyes.

Around the Divine Pool, a rich Yin and Yang Qi permeated, black and white mists intertwined, like the Chaos scene at the dawn of creation, inspiring awe.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the Yin-Yang Divine Pool."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable stood beside Xu Qing, his tone carrying a hint of pride, yet also a touch of reluctance.

After all, the Divine Pool was a vital area of the clan. If Xu Qing hadn't displayed astonishing strength and potential, he would never have easily agreed to let him enter.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, his gaze still fixed on the Divine Pool, his tone calm but with a hint of gratitude, "Many thanks, Celestial Venerable, for making this possible. Xu Qing will engrave this Opportunity in his heart."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable smiled upon hearing this, then took out an exquisite jade box from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Qing, "This is the Eight-Leaf Yin-Yang Divine Flower. Since I promised Fellow Daoist, this old man will not go back on his word."

Xu Qing took the jade box and opened it, only to see a crystal-clear divine flower lying inside. Its petals were divided into eight, each exuding a rich Yin and Yang Qi, as if containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He then closed the jade box and solemnly cupped his fists, "Many thanks, Celestial Venerable, for your generous gift. Xu Qing is deeply grateful."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable waved his hand, smiling, "Fellow Daoist, no need to be polite. Since you and I have forged a good relationship, we will need to look out for each other more in the future."
