Chapter 341: Chapter 303: Emperor’s Divine Thought

“Because of the Power of Origin?”

Lin Qingci listened to the words of the Ancestor Emperor and wasn’t surprised.

Cultivators who have refined the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment have actually undergone a qualitative change compared to ordinary cultivators.

The current Chu Huaixu is only unable to use this power inside him because his cultivation is too low.

But his body has been nourished by this power.

Many so-called bottlenecks, limits, and barriers… don’t exist for him.

Lin Qingci thought, “It seems he can fully absorb all nine of the Emperor’s Pools.”

“No, he can even double the absorption through Body Refining Divine Techniques.”

“It shouldn’t be long before he breaks through in the pool,” the Female State Preceptor speculated in her heart.

Don’t look down upon the previous Emperor’s Pools; the later ones are quite fierce.

Chu Huaixu entered the Emperor’s Pools one by one like this and soon reached the seventh pool.

“Through the enhancement of [Body Ascension], I gained 640,000 experience points in one go!” A look of joy appeared on his face.

“In other words, the next Emperor’s Pool can give me 1.28 million.”

“The one after that, 2.56 million!”

He did a simple mental calculation, adding up the experience points he could gain from the nine pools, realizing he could gain 5.11 million in one go!

This was indeed a sizable fortune.

“It’s a shame I still need to compete in the East and West Continent Competition.”

“If I become the Profound Yellow Leader, I’d still have to hold back my realm to break through the second layer of the Origin Spirit Realm.”

“These cultivation technique experience points can’t be used to level up for now.”

After soaking in the seventh Emperor’s Pool, Chu Huaixu opened his eyes and looked forward.

He was gazing at the mist at the end.

“Why is there only mist in that place?” he thought to himself.

Speaking of which, the Emperor’s Pools are indeed quite peculiar.

In sequence, each pool was hotter than the last.

But strangely enough, no mist ever rose from them.

This made the mist at the end seem somewhat abrupt.

Lin Qingci sat on the meditation mat, knowing full well the other party couldn’t see her, yet she still felt this sense of distant gaze meeting.

She could see the joy in this young man’s eyes.

“It’s just a pity that everything you gained in the first nine pools will be completely taken by the Ancestor Emperor once you enter the tenth pool.”

…

…

The Imperial Capital, Cultivation Hall.

The preliminary draw had already ended.

Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing both had good luck, drawing participants from minor sects of Moon Country.

Thus, Xiaoxu didn’t need to use the Bronze Sword, and there was no need for Nangong Yue to fly outside the Emperor’s Pool to get the sword from Jiang Zhi.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd began to disperse as Qin Xuexiao, accompanied by Lin Zixuan, walked towards Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing.

“Miss Han, Brother Xu, it’s been a long time,” the Heir of Prince Rui greeted the two with an amicable smile.

The four of them were quite familiar but the relationship went only as far as that.

Because of Chu Huaixu’s appearance, these four protagonists of the world had not formed any bonds of friendship among each other.

Qin Xuexiao would have been the leader and decision-maker of this group of four.

Now things were very different.

The Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu looked at the prestigious Heir of Prince Rui in front of them, feeling he seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

It’s strange; he seemed to have changed somehow, yet, upon closer inspection, he seemed unchanged.

“I feel like the way he looks at people, his demeanor, and the whole aura he emits have changed,” Han Shuangjiang thought.

Previously, Qin Xuexiao had the youthful exuberance of an aristocrat’s child.

But now there was an added maturity.

Even a bit of… unassailable authority?

The Big Ice Cube couldn’t quite pinpoint it, only feeling the Heir of Prince Rui had changed a lot.

In fact, as a “vessel,” many influences had been subtly occurring.

At this moment, Qin Xuexiao looked at the two and said, “I heard that Brother Chu has gone to the Emperor’s Pool?”

Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing glanced at each other and nodded.

“I hope Brother Chu gains something from it,” Qin Xuexiao said with a sincere smile.

His previous concerns were due to the fear that Chu Huaixu would absorb the Emperor Monarch’s divine thought.

But when he entered the Emperor’s Pool last time, the Ancestor Emperor told him that once he refined the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment and possessed the Power of Origin within him, the remaining threads of the Emperor Monarch’s divine thought would also integrate into his body.

“Eventually, even the wisp within the State Preceptor will be separated and absorbed into me later.”

Since nothing would be taken by Chu Huaixu, it didn’t matter to him.

At that moment, Qin Xuexiao smiled and said to both, “Considering the timing, Brother Chu should be returning in about one hour.”

“Why don’t I host a small gathering tonight?” he suggested.

Han Shuangjiang looked at Qin Xuexiao and said, “I’ll convey it to Chu Huaixu when he returns.”

“Alright.”

Qin Xuexiao turned his head slightly and leisurely gazed in the direction of the Emperor’s Pool.

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

“Xuanxiao, have you completed the task I assigned you earlier?”

He couldn’t communicate mind-to-mind with the Emperor Monarch’s divine thought.

He could only speak aloud in response.

Clearly, this wasn’t convenient at the moment.

But the one in a superior position wouldn’t care about such trivial matters.

Inconvenience was his business; he had to deal with it himself.

Qin Xuexiao dared not delay, softly “mm” first, and then bid farewell to Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing immediately.

….

….

Outside the Emperor’s Pool.

Jiang Zhi waited outside all along, guarding Chu Huaixu.

He felt a bit perplexed.

“Why has he been inside for so long?”

“Logically, calculating the time, he should’ve come out by now.”

The Emperor’s Pool and Emperor’s Mausoleum of Moon Country have miraculous effects only for Moon Country People.

In Jiang Zhi’s view, Chu Huaixu is a Mirror Country Person from the East Continent.

He reckoned that soaking in five Emperor’s Pools would be about the limit.

But soon, a smile appeared on Jiang Zhi’s ordinary face.

“He probably used his Body Refining Divine Techniques,” he guessed to himself.

If so, he might achieve slightly more gains.

Under normal circumstances, he might be able to break through the First Heaven realm?

However, Chu Huaixu often creates some unbelievable miracles.

“Perhaps he may have even greater gains?” Jiang Zhi thought.

He wasn’t in any hurry.

Because this Daoist Junior Martial Uncle was indeed occupied.

Earlier, Chu Huaixu told him that the eye of the grand array in the Imperial Capital seemed to be a sword.

Today, idle Jiang Zhi spread his Divine Sense in the Imperial Capital and began exploring.

“This kid previously said the location of that sword was seemingly not far from the Emperor’s Pool.”

But he searched with his Divine Sense, yet found nothing.

Even though Jiang Zhi had fallen in realm, his Divine Sense strength remained in the Ninth Realm, without decline.

“Even I can’t find its existence, yet Chu Huaixu can sense it through Sword Heart?”

He increasingly felt that this kid’s Sword Heart was somewhat different from others’.

And Chu Huaixu did not know that his master ancestor, being a peerless killer, upon hearing the eye of the grand array was a sword, had his mind stirred, contemplating killing Ming Xuanji, suddenly seeming more feasible.

“This sword is suspected to be the National Guardian Sword.”

“If it can be found and tampered with, the grand array in the Imperial Capital would have issues.”

“This is Ming Xuanji’s greatest reliance within the city.”

“At that time, maybe he could be killed.”

He was still a bit persistent…

Time pushed two hours further.

The result, Chu Huaixu still hadn’t come out.

“Could he truly soak all the way to the last Emperor’s Pool?” Jiang Zhi thought.

….

….

Inside the coffin-like stone structure, Chu Huaixu was still soaking in the ninth Emperor’s Pool actually.

The pool water here had completely turned blood-colored.

“The water temperature is almost like boiling water,” Chu Huaixu thought.

But to him, naturally he didn’t feel it was torturous.

This level is nothing so far.

Every time the Experience Points on the Character Panel increased a notch, a pleasant feeling arose in his heart.

After absorbing fully, he exited the Holy Body State.

Leaving the ninth Emperor’s Pool, Chu Huaixu felt a sense of achievement.

“All are ten beads worth.”

He actually felt quite puzzled, not knowing why he could absorb more than the world’s protagonist.

But he couldn’t bother much with that now.

He walked and shook himself off, slowly approaching the tenth Emperor’s Pool.

Amidst the swirling mist, Lin Qingci didn’t avert her gaze this time.

But her eyes tried to focus on Chu Huaixu’s upper body, or his face.

Even though a slight distance separated the two, the Female State Preceptor began feeling a bit warm here.

Her gaze gathered on the Jade Bottle placed aside.

Inside contained the aphro—disiac she prepared early.

This was no ordinary item.

But rather high-end goods from the Dual Cultivation Sect.

As long as she didn’t intentionally resist it with Spiritual Power, then, for sure, it would take effect.

Moreover, the Jade Bottle contained enough for three people…

“Possession and fusion require twelve hours.”

“There’s no rush.”

“I will consume it at the final stick of incense time.”

This Female State Preceptor originally viewed it as liberation, having long awaited this day.

She had long accepted this fate.

Even during prior discussions with Ancestor Emperor, her heart was unshaken, her tone without much fluctuation.

But now looking at the “True Man” ahead, she couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

After all, though she was already of matured age, well-developed, she was still a virgin, unsullied.

At this moment, Lin Qingci looked at Chu Huaixu standing on the other side of the Emperor’s Pool.

He didn’t immediately descend for soaking, but looked down at the blood-colored pool.

This Emperor’s Pool gave him an indescribable feeling.

He felt uncomfortable for no apparent reason.

“Could it be because the blood color is too intense?”

Inside the pool, four streams flowed as if dragons swimming in the water.

“Is this the Emperor’s Divine Thought?” Chu Huaixu wondered.
