Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 507: Chapter 30: Cultivation in the Pool

The voice of his master, Master Wandering Dragon, echoed in Shen Changchuan’s mind.

Watching his master’s departing back, Shen Changchuan understood that this was a reminder sent via Divine Thought.

Shen Changchuan’s expression remained unchanged, but a wave of warmth spread through his heart.

This was his master’s concern.

Though unspoken, it filled him with warmth.

’I must win!’

’I must ascend to the Divine Travel Realm in the shortest time possible!’

Recalling how his senior brothers and sisters in the Dragon Cloud Sect discussed their master’s difficult situation, he pieced together the full extent of his master’s predicament.

Coupled with what he had seen and heard over the past few days, Shen Changchuan’s resolve hardened!

’There’s not much I can do to help Master.’

’The only thing I can do is grow stronger as quickly as possible and alleviate some of Master’s pressure!’

As a result, Shen Changchuan felt an even greater urgency to raise his Cultivation Realm.

At this moment, after Master Wandering Dragon and Wu Zhen left, calm returned to the square.

After a brief silence, the Immortal Sect Disciples preparing to enter the Spirit Transformation Pool began to talk among themselves in low, whispering voices.

Shen Changchuan closed his eyes to rest, but he extended a part of his Heart Spirit, keeping an ear on the surrounding discussions, trying to glean some useful information.

Just then, a figure walked toward him.

The view before him darkened.

Shen Changchuan opened his eyes.

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Chenyang!

”So, you’re Shen Changchuan?”

Xiao Chenyang looked down at Shen Changchuan, his eyes filled with a playful, mocking curiosity.

”What if I am?”

Shen Changchuan’s voice was icy, radiating a cold distance that pushed people away.

”Nothing. I’ve just heard your name and wanted to come see you for myself.”

Xiao Chenyang stared at Shen Changchuan, his words laced with a deeper meaning.

”As a junior, I naturally have no right to interfere in the grudge between our masters.”

”However, more than ten years ago, my little junior brother was defeated by you, and it almost became his Heart Demon.”

”I share some blood ties with that little junior brother of mine. The kid has called me Brother Xiao since we were young... Since he sees me as an older brother, I naturally can’t just stand by and watch him be bullied like that. So, I begged my master to bring me here...”

”I hope you won’t disappoint me inside the Spirit Transformation Pool later!”

As he spoke the last sentence, Xiao Chenyang’s voice turned chilling, tinged with a faint, almost imperceptible killing intent!

The provocation in his words was now completely undisguised.

The Spirit Transformation Pool was a Blessed Land, where Nine Heavens Condensed Essence Liquid gathered.

This Spiritual Liquid was naturally formed by heaven and earth and contained a mysterious Dao rhythm. Absorbing it could increase one’s Cultivation without any side effects.

But at the same time, within the Spirit Transformation Pool, the Spiritual Liquid was not evenly distributed.

The positions within the Spirit Transformation Pool varied in quality.

The better spots had a greater effect on enhancing one’s Cultivation, while the worse spots had a weaker effect!

The sacred grounds of the Spirit Transformation Pool were extremely precious, and the pool could not be opened at will while the Spiritual Liquid was accumulating.

Therefore, each time the Spirit Transformation Pool was opened, over twenty people would be gathered to enter together.

The Nine Heavens Condensed Essence Liquid in the pool was enough to support the Cultivation of more than twenty people.

But during this process, the focus of contention became who would occupy the good spots and who would be left with the bad ones.

Faced with such disputes, the attitude of the Immortal Sect’s upper echelons was: let those entering the Blessed Land to cultivate decide for themselves!

Whether they fought it out, formed alliances, or negotiated among themselves, it didn’t matter!

But obviously, judging from past experiences, the best spots were usually taken by force.

And Xiao Chenyang’s meaning was that he intended to teach Shen Changchuan a lesson over this!

”Any time.”

Shen Changchuan replied coldly, his eyes showing no fear.

”Hmph!”

Xiao Chenyang snorted and turned to leave.

Actually, if it weren’t for that personage in the sky, he wouldn’t have bothered to put on this show and waste his breath on Shen Changchuan.

His style was to attack directly inside the Spirit Transformation Pool and teach him a harsh lesson.

But it couldn’t be helped.

He couldn’t let his master gain a reputation for being petty.

He had to find an excuse, put on a bit of a performance.

Besides, he wasn’t entirely lying.

His little junior brother really did have a Heart Demon, and their relationship was genuinely good.

Wanting to teach Shen Changchuan a lesson was indeed Xiao Chenyang’s true intention.

Xiao Chenyang walked to an empty area on the other side of the square.

He closed his eyes to rest.

’Shen Changchuan? So that’s Shen Changchuan?’

At that moment, in the crowd, from an inconspicuous corner, a strange glint flashed in the eyes of a certain figure.

Recalling the news he had heard earlier, he gritted his teeth and made a decision. 𝖋𝘳ℯ

He flipped his palm and took out a Communication Talisman.

After inputting a message, he crushed it.

The Communication Talisman turned into a golden ray of light that vanished into the void.

’Lu Haoxuan is one of the Daoist’s people. I heard he went to cause trouble for that Shen Changchuan not long ago, on the Daoist’s behalf, but ended up getting defeated. He took a huge fall and lost a lot of face...’

’This guy disrespected the Daoist and made an enemy of him, so he must be on the Daoist’s radar now.’

’If I can use this opportunity to get on the Daoist’s good side by reporting this, I’ll have hit the jackpot!’

In the man’s eyes shone a brilliant light of excitement.

The small movements of that person in the crowd went unnoticed by those around him.

Because besides him, several other people were also sending out Communication Talismans.

Who knew if they were using Communication Talismans to hurry friends who were also entering the Spirit Transformation Pool, or if they had remembered some urgent matter and were asking for help?

And so, time slowly passed.

Before long, several figures flew in from the distance and landed in the square.

Within the Void Heaven, the majestic voice that had previously stopped the conflict between Master Wandering Dragon and Wu Zhen rang out once more:

”SINCE EVERYONE HAS ARRIVED, LET US DEPART!”

As the voice faded, Shen Changchuan opened his eyes.

Everyone around him quickly focused their attention.

Just as Shen Changchuan was wondering how they would travel,

BZZZZ!

He saw the void tremble. The space of the surrounding world vibrated violently, its fluctuations visible to the naked eye like the surface of a mirror.

Then,

BOOM!

A massive abyssal rift suddenly appeared in the sky above!

The Dark Abyss, so deep that one could not see their hand in front of their face, rapidly expanded!

”The Power of Space!”

Shen Changchuan’s pupils contracted, his Heart Spirit shaken to the core!

This terrifying Power of Space, which tore the very firmament apart, was even more dreadful than the spatial might unleashed by his master’s Flying Ship that he had ridden on his way here!

The shocking scene of vast swaths of the void folding in on itself shook Shen Changchuan’s Heart Spirit!

’As expected, the owner of that voice... is from the legendary Profound Pill Realm!’

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Shen Changchuan’s mind. At the same time, his eyes were glued to the folded canopy of the sky above, trying to comprehend the Dao and its principles within.

However, before he could get more than a few glances in, an unimaginable force acted upon him.

In that instant, Shen Changchuan and all the other Immortal Sect Disciples in the square transformed into streaks of light and were absorbed into the abyssal canopy above!
