137: The imperial city is sensational, the trip to the Holy Spirit Pond! [Seeking follow-up reading]

The next morning.

As a ray of morning light pierced the sky and shone upon the Imperial City, this most prosperous city of the Great Yan Dynasty immediately burst forth with astonishing vitality.

All kinds of heated discussions and clamor converged, soaring straight to the sky.

In recent days, the topics within the Imperial City had all been related to the seed selection.

For this highest-spec competition among the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty, almost everyone held immense interest and curiosity.

Many people in the Imperial City were quite eager to see who would secure the final spots.

Under everyone's attention, what happened deep within the Imperial Palace quickly spread throughout the entire Imperial City.

Among them, the most eye-catching, naturally, was the young man named Lin Fan!

With a single hand, he overshadowed and easily intimidated various forces of the Great Yan Dynasty, securing a seed spot in advance, forcing the Young Lord of the Huangpu Clan to bow and yield, and the Huangpu Clan even had to compensate him with 20,000 nirvana pills... Coupled with Lin Fan's previous feat of annihilating the Wang Clan, Lin Fan's name has now almost become a taboo throughout the Great Yan Dynasty!

“I didn't expect that Lin Fan's strength would be so formidable!”

“What's there not to expect? Didn't he annihilate the Wang Clan before? Who among the younger generation could be his opponent?”

“I heard that Lin Fan was only born into a branch family affiliated with the Lin Clan.”

“For such a figure to emerge from a small branch family is truly incredible!”

“It seems that origin doesn't represent everything!”

“...”

While the entire Imperial City was bustling with noise over the results of the seed selection, Lin Fan and the others had already re-entered the Imperial Palace early.

Then, under the guidance of Emperor Mo Jing Tian, they arrived at the deepest part of the Imperial Palace.

The location where Lin Fan and the others were was an extremely vast primeval forest.

And at this moment, not far in front of them, there was an altar.

The altar was covered with peculiar runes, and faintly, powerful energy fluctuations emanated from within.

“The Sacred Spirit Pool is hidden within the altar. This altar was jointly built by the Imperial Family, the Four Great Clans, and the three major sects back then, hidden deep within the Imperial Palace, and opens once every twenty years.”

Beside Lin Fan and Lin Dong, Clan Chief Lin Fan proactively introduced them.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong both nodded slightly, indicating their understanding.

Mo Jing Tian explained the situation to Lin Fan, then turned to the others and said, “Now that everyone is here, let's proceed to activate the altar.”

Since Clan Chief Wang Lei of the Wang Clan was killed by Lin Fan, this time, the Imperial Family's Mo family invited a Half-Nirvana expert to replace Wang Lei.

Hearing Mo Jing Tian's words, Lin Fan, Huangpu Long, and the others all nodded in agreement.

Afterward, the Clan Chiefs of the three great clans, the Sect Masters of the three great sects, plus Mo Jing Tian and the Half-Nirvana expert from the Mo family, formed a circle, enclosing the altar.

“Act!”

Mo Jing Tian was the first to let out a low shout, his hand seals changing. Instantly, a beam of light shot out from his hand and then into the altar.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

After Mo Jing Tian, Lin Fan and the others immediately followed suit, with beams of light shooting out one after another, all shining upon the altar.

“Buzz buzz!”

As these light beams enveloped the altar, the altar also emitted a strange humming sound, and then a ring of light slowly rose from the top of the altar.

Before long, the ring of light spread out, transforming into a massive energy vortex.

Lin Fan could feel an extremely powerful and peculiar energy permeating from within the vortex.

“Within the ring of light is the Sacred Spirit Pool. Mo Ling, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, Man Shan, Du Yun, the five of you quickly enter it. As for how much benefit you can gain from it, that depends on your own abilities and capabilities.”

At this moment, Mo Jing Tian's gaze swept around, and he spoke in a deep voice.

Lin Dong and the others' eyes flashed with fervor. Without any hesitation, they shot out and rushed into the ring of light, disappearing from view.

Lin Fan waited until the other four had entered before finally stepping inside. As all five entered the ring of light, around the altar, Mo Jing Tian and the others also sat down cross-legged, continuously channeling energy to maintain the formation of the light ring.

They needed to persist until Lin Fan and the five others emerged again... As Lin Fan rushed into the ring of light, his vision experienced a brief moment of darkness.

Immediately, soft light filled his eyes, and a faint fragrance, carrying a damp scent, wafted towards him.

Lin Fan's gaze lifted slightly, and he saw a massive pool appear in front of him. The pool water was emerald green, appearing to be filled with vibrant life.

Waves of astonishingly pure energy continuously emanated from within the pool!

Undoubtedly, this was the Sacred Spirit Pool!

After the five gathered, Mo Ling smiled slightly and pointed to the Sacred Spirit Pool, saying:

“Everyone, according to the rules, the Sacred Spirit Pool is divided into five areas, and the five of us can each occupy one. For fairness, how about we draw lots to decide the areas?”

“Okay,” Lin Fan nodded slightly, having no objection to this.

Seeing that even Lin Fan agreed, the others naturally had no objections.

So the five began to draw lots.

After the draw, Lin Dong drew the eastern area, while Lin Fan drew the central area.

Subsequently, everyone went to their respective areas and began to absorb the energy from the Sacred Spirit Pool.

Lin Fan's figure slowly descended from mid-air onto the surface of the lake in the center of the Sacred Spirit Pool. Then, with a thought, a trace of Devouring Power spread out from within his body, devouring the emerald green energy in the water.

Whenever these emerald green energies surged into his body, Lin Fan faintly felt as if the cells, bones, and internal organs within him were emitting a joyful sound, as if they had absorbed some great tonic.

“It seems that the energy in this Sacred Spirit Pool is also effective for me!”

Sensing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a slight surprise in his heart. He immediately continuously employed his Devouring Power to absorb the emerald green energy from the Sacred Spirit Pool.

On the other side, Lin Dong took the same action as Lin Fan, using his Devouring Power to absorb the emerald green energy from the pool.

Meanwhile, Xiao Diao and Xiao Yan, who had come in with Lin Dong, quietly submerged themselves to the bottom of the Sacred Spirit Pool.

Mo Ling and the others, however, were completely unaware of this.

This time, without Lin Langtian stirring up trouble, the five of them were at peace with each other.

But because both Lin Fan and Lin Dong had mastered Devouring Power, their efficiency in absorbing the emerald green energy was significantly higher than that of Mo Ling and the other two.

Time quickly passed over the quiet Sacred Spirit Pool, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half a day had gone by.

Mo Ling, Man Shan, and Du Yun were the first three to exit their Cultivation state, slowly opening their eyes, each with a faint green glow flickering within them.

Clearly, their trip to the Sacred Spirit Pool this time had yielded good results.

After the three finished Cultivating, they subconsciously looked towards Lin Fan and Lin Dong's direction, and upon seeing their situation, they were immediately stunned.

Around Lin Fan and Lin Dong's bodies, emerald green cocoons had each formed.

On the surface of the cocoons, waves of abundant emerald green energy diffused outwards, making them envious.

“Crack!”

Under the gaze of the three, the emerald green cocoons suddenly cracked open.

Lin Dong and Lin Fan emerged from their cocoons one after another, and then absorbed all the green energy enveloping them into their bodies. The auras around both of them seemed to have strengthened considerably.

“Congratulations, it seems both Brother Lin have made significant progress in their strength.”

After the five gathered again, Mo Ling and the other two congratulated Lin Fan and Lin Dong.

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, “The same to you. I imagine everyone has had good gains. Now, let's go out first.”

Mo Ling and the others nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then, together with Lin Fan, they flew out towards the ring of light!
