The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor
Chapter 223 - 222: The Power of the Golden Pond

Chapter 223: Chapter 222: The Power of the Golden Pond

"Concentrate on absorbing the power of the Golden Pond; this is very beneficial for you," Ye Xuan said slowly.

"Yes, Eldest Senior Brother."

The crowd regained their senses and didn’t dwell on why Ye Xuan was unwilling to accept followers.

Murong Hai and others saw this and didn’t say anything further. They all sat cross-legged in the Golden Pond, beginning to absorb its energy.

There were a hundred small Golden Ponds, each an independent entity.

There was exactly one Golden Pond per person.

However, since so many had died, naturally, many Golden Ponds were left vacant, but no one dared to claim them.

Everyone defaulted these to Ye Xuan.

A total of thirty-seven Golden Ponds were unclaimed. No one dared to take them, and they all silently absorbed energy in their own ponds.

The power of the Golden Pond could only be used by a hundred people, further divided into a hundred Golden Ponds, one for each person.

But that amount was only under normal circumstances.

If one had a special physique, the required amount of power would naturally be a different matter.

For instance, Zhou Youwei, with her Dual Souls and Dual Divine Body, would find the power of just one small Golden Pond insufficient for Wash the Meridians and Marrow.

Ye Xuan certainly knew this, which is why he used the power of the Tree God to distribute ten of the thirty-seven unused Golden Ponds’ power to Zhou Youwei.

The remaining twenty-seven were absorbed into his own Golden Pond.

The power of one Golden Pond was completely sufficient for the others.

This applied to Zhu Xiaofei and the like.

They were all young, and with their cultivation still shallow, they did not require a vast amount of power from the Golden Pond.

The power of the Golden Pond is crucial for washing the meridians and marrow.

For someone like Zhu Xiaofei, who is below the rank of Prince, there wouldn’t be much impurity in their bodies.

Generally speaking, the higher one’s cultivation, the more impurities they expel. But in reality, due to issues encountered during cultivation, the amount of impurities in the body tends to be more plentiful.

On the contrary, people like Zhu Xiaofei and Tan Qingshan, who don’t have high cultivation, haven’t expelled any impurities. However, the actual quantity is not substantial, so the power of one Golden Pond is enough.

Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei, however, are a different case.

Their physiques are extraordinary.

Zhou Youwei possesses a Dual Divine Body.

It’s difficult enough for a standard Divine Body to undergo the process of washing the meridians and marrow, not to mention for Zhou Youwei with her Dual Divine Body, making the process even more challenging.

Ye Xuan, on the other hand, is not even worth mentioning. He possesses the unique Taoist Body of all ages, making washing the meridians and marrow even more difficult for him.

Yet, they both hold unimaginable advantages.

That is the impurities in their bodies are a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times less than others!

This is why their cultivation progresses so rapidly.

Such is the advantage of having a strong physique.

Boom!

After Ye Xuan divided the power of the thirty-seven Golden Ponds, he entered into cultivation.

The Taichu Hongmeng Primordial Dao Technique began to operate, and a terrifying Power of Devouring erupted. The Golden Pond’s power entered his body through the seven hundred and twenty acupoints, expelling the impurities within.

Not only Ye Xuan, but the others also began to absorb the power of the Golden Pond, using it for washing their meridians and marrow.

It happened silently.

And so, it continued for a full seven days.

On the seventh day, almost everyone woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

Many had made significant progress over these seven days.

Especially people like Zhu Xiaofei. The ten disciples from the Divine Gate Realm all stepped into the Daoist Platform Realm.

And those in the Daoist Platform Realm also ascended to higher levels.

Everyone made substantial progress.

As for those who were already Princes, like Murong Hai and Hua Yunfei, although they had undergone the cleansing process, their realm of cultivation had not improved much.

Nowadays, the power of the Golden Pond is less useful the higher the cultivator’s cultivation.

Conversely, the lower the cultivation of the cultivator, the greater the benefit they seem to receive.

This is why those who enter the Golden Pond are primarily the younger generation, and their strength does not exceed that of Princes.

Because beyond that, it’s hardly effective.

The reason why there were thirteen existences from the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm during this Golden Pond’s opening was that they wanted to kill Ye Xuan and then seize the Great Emperor Immortal Skill from Zhou Youwei.

In the past, those who came to the Golden Pond were mostly Princes.

This time was an exception.

"Hahaha, is this the feeling of washing the meridians and marrow? It feels amazing!" Zhu Xiaofei couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.

He had entered the Daoist Platform Realm!

Moreover, he could feel that with a little more effort, he could break through to subsequent realms.

However, now was clearly not the time. He would have to wait to return to the sect to continue his cultivation.

"Don’t shout," Lv Xiuli glared at Zhu Xiaofei.

Zhu Xiaofei’s proud laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at Lv Xiuli, puzzled, and asked, "What’s up?"

Lv Xiuli nodded towards a certain direction.

Following her gaze, Zhu Xiaofei saw that their Eldest Senior Brother Ye Xuan and the Holy Daughter Zhou Youwei were still in the midst of absorption. He immediately shut his mouth, not daring to make a sound and disturb them.

Soon, one by one, people started exiting their cultivation states.

Upon awakening, everyone’s face was filled with joy, clearly having gained quite a lot.

"Truly worthy of the legendary Golden Pond, such power is indeed extraordinary," Murong Hai also woke up and exclaimed excitedly.

He felt a significant change in his own strength.

His whole body felt refreshed and comfortable!

Hua Yunfei and the others also gradually woke up, showing a hint of a smile.

"Just one Golden Pond’s power feels this amazing; imagine how incredible it would be with ten, or a hundred Golden Ponds?" Even Hua Yunfei couldn’t help but sigh.

Unfortunately, he was already a top-tier Sealing King and had not achieved a breakthrough.

"It’s rumored that, back when Lie Tian Heavenly Country was in its prime, an Ancient Country on its own, each opening of the Golden Pond would attract All Races to come worship. What a sight the Golden Pond must have been back then."

Hua Yunfei thought to himself in his heart.

It’s a pity that Lie Tian Heavenly Country has been in decline for a long time now.

Lie Tian Heavenly Country and Emperor Immortal Sect were essentially branches of the same lineage.

After the fall of Emperor Immortal Sect, Lie Tian Heavenly Country also declined.

Forty thousand years ago, Emperor Immortal Sect once had the momentum to rise again, but it was eventually besieged and brought down to dust.

It was after that incident that Lie Tian Heavenly Country and Emperor Immortal Sect seemed to drift apart just in appearance while being estranged at heart.

That’s precisely why Lie Tian Heavenly Country managed to retain somewhat stronger power than Emperor Immortal Sect.

But as time passed relentlessly, Lie Tian Heavenly Country still could not hide its downward trend, sliding continuously until today.

He had heard from some of the old predecessors in the Upper Country that even three hundred years ago, at that time, the Golden Pond could support thousands of people absorbing its power simultaneously.

Today, however, there are only one hundred spots available.

Such a rate of decline...

Hua Yunfei could only sigh inwardly.

Boom!

Just then, terrifying anomalies erupted.

Above Zhou Youwei, suns and moons rose and fell, the Qian Kun vast and mighty.

The terrifying anomalies of the two Divine Bodies erupted at the same time, carrying a pressure that made one feel the urge to venerate.

"The might of the Dual Divine Body is indeed terrifying!"

Although they had witnessed it once seven days ago, seeing it again, they were still shocked.

"Eh, Zhou Youwei’s Dual Divine Body seems to have evolved?"

Murong Hai suddenly felt a sense of astonishment in his heart.

He could sense that Zhou Youwei’s Dual Divine Body Phenomenon had become more solid compared to seven days prior.

That feeling seemed closer to reality.

To him, it felt like if it evolved further, the anomalies produced by the Dual Divine Body would become real instead of mere illusions.

At that time, it would truly be a scene of suns and moons appearing together and the Qian Kun fluctuating!

What kind of sight would that be?

It was beyond imagination.

"Worthy of being Her Highness the Holy Daughter, an invincible Dual Divine Body, the anomaly earth-shattering," the people from Emperor Immortal Sect expressed such amazement.

Rumble————

At that moment.

A terrifying presence that suppressed All Heavens suddenly burst forth from nearby.

That terrifying presence instantly shrank Zhou Youwei’s Dual Divine Body Phenomenon.

No!

It diminished directly!

In the blink of an eye, the might of Zhou Youwei’s Dual Divine Body dissipated into nothing.

As if they had encountered the terrifying presence of an Emperor descending upon the world, they felt fear and dissipated voluntarily?!

"This presence..."

Shock colored everyone’s eyes.

That was the might of the Dual Divine Body!

A presence that had previously shocked the entire Southern Domain!

Was now pressed to the point where even the anomaly dissipated?!

Everyone looked over in disbelief.

That presence, it came from...

Ye Xuan?!

"Hiss!"

A chorus of sharp intakes of breath resounded.

"This guy, isn’t he a Mortal Body? Why does he exude such a terrifying presence?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

At this moment, above Ye Xuan’s head, there were no anomalies appearing.

But that invisible force made it so hard for everyone to even breathe!
