“Rest early. We still need to enter the Emperor’s Pool tomorrow. It’s no ordinary place. You should comprehend it carefully, perhaps you may gain something,” Su Chen waved his hand and said.
“Yes, Master!” Long Wu bowed and left.
At the same time, in a small courtyard of the Wang family, the dilapidated yard’s lights flickered. A pale-faced young man sat cross-legged on the couch, with a look of struggle in the depths of his eyes. This person was none other than Wang Kun, who had just returned from the main hall.
“Supreme Emperor’s Scripture…” he muttered.
He had been thinking for nearly two hours but still had not made up his mind. Back in the main hall, he had already decided to cultivate it. However, at the critical moment, he hesitated again.
In the end, cultivating the Supreme Emperor’s Scripture came at too great a cost. This was not a righteous cultivation method, but more akin to a demonic one. The greater the future achievements, the greater the price that must be paid. Moreover, there was no turning back.
However, fortunately, according to the description of this cultivation method, the cultivation speed was very fast. Once started cultivating, even without taking the initiative to cultivate it, the Supreme Emperor’s Scripture would automatically circulate. If he cultivated it himself, it would be like turning on a motor – his cultivation would rocket up.
The word trash would have nothing to do with him. In the early stages of cultivation, advancing a small realm every day would not be a dream.
However, this brought about a problem. If one’s cultivation increased quickly, the tempering of each realm would follow. Once he could not withstand it, he would be reduced to ashes.
“This is the only hope Fellow Daoist Su Chen has given me. If I miss it, 1 may only ever be good-for-nothing in this life.” Thinking thus, Wang Kun gritted his teeth and assumed a cultivation posture. The spiritual energy in his body began circulating in a strange manner.
His original Qi Sea Realm cultivation instantly reverted to an ordinary person’s. But before long, another faint aura appeared around him, continuously growing stronger at an extremely rapid speed, almost overturning ordinary understanding.
The next day, in the early morning, under the lead of Wang Yunzong and the others, Su Chen went deep into the Wang family’s territory.
The depths of the Wang family was a forbidden area. The aura here was unrivaled and majestic, causing reverence. An extremely faint great emperor’s aura permeated the air. One thing could be certain a true great emperor had once lived on this land. Even now, it still contained traces of that great emperor’s pressure.
Looking around, mountains floated in the air, reaching the clouds. Silver waterfalls fell like celestial rivers, misty and hazy.
Arriving here was like witnessing the existence of ancient great emperors. Everything was so magnificent and majestic that it shook one’s heart. Only a place where a great emperor had been born would have such signs.
In the depths of hundreds and thousands of mountains was a gate that connected heaven and earth, standing there for an unknown length of time. Its entire body was flawlessly white, without any aura of time, as if time had completely lost effect on it, unable to leave the slightest trace.
On the gate were two boldly carved words, as if describing the truths of Heavenly Dao – Emperor’s Pool!
“Brother Su Chen, this was left behind by an ancestor of my Wang family. Although it cannot compare to the great emperors of my clan, that ancestor had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm before death,” Wang Yunzong said proudly.
The Emperor’s Pool was not originally called that. However, after Great Emperor Wang Teng refined his weapon in the Emperor’s Pool, his descendants monopolized it. One of his more stunning descendants even renamed the lake Emperor’s Pool in memory of Great Emperor Wang Teng.
There were several great emperors who had refined weapons in the Emperor’s Pool over time. But now, whenever the Emperor’s Pool was mentioned, the first person thought of was always Great Emperor Wang Teng. The Wang family’s methods were brilliant.
The Emperor’s Pool, a place for refining weapons, allowed the name of Great Emperor Wang Teng to be etched deeply in the hearts of countless living beings. Even after countless years, Great Emperor Wang Teng’s name had never faded.
“As expected of a great emperor’s descendant,” Su Chen said with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen, if you want to refine your weapon, I won’t say anything more. Behind this door is the Emperor’s Pool. To enter, you only need an identity jade token.” Wang Yunzong flipped his palm, and a jade token appeared. He handed it to Su Chen and earnestly instructed, “The Emperor’s Pool is no ordinary place, even great emperors had refined weapons here. Although Fellow Daoist Su Chen is powerful, you must not go too deep, or else disaster may strike. Also…there are rules in the Emperor’s Pool. I’m afraid only Fellow Daoist Su Chen can enter today,” at this, Wang Yunzong glanced at Long Wu and said awkwardly.
“Is that so?” Su Chen was helpless.
He had wanted to bring Long Wu along to comprehend the Dao rhymes left by the great emperors. But now it seemed this idea would fail. The Emperor’s Pool was already considered a forbidden zone for the Wang family. Even its family members found it difficult to enter. Letting him enter was already an exception, let alone bringing someone else along. That was almost impossible.
“No worries.” Su Chen quickly recovered, saying, “Then I shall go alone.”
“Fellow Daoist Su Chen, after refining your weapon, you only need to inject a wisp of divine sense into the jade token and you can immediately return to the outside world,” Wang Yunzong said, still worried. “If you encounter any danger in the Emperor’s Pool, do the same and you can promptly escape.”
“I understand.” Su Chen nodded.
Soon after, he suddenly turned and stepped through the gate.
Talcing a step forward, the world spun. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived somewhere else.
Endless white clouds surrounded him. Below was a boundless ocean. Looking afar, the emerald waves were endless with no edge in sight.
“Is this the Emperor’s Pool?” Su Chen looked down. From the surface, the Emperor’s Pool seemed to be a lake. But being inside, he realized it was more accurate to call it a sea.
Even with his current Quasi-Saint Realm cultivation, he could not sense where the boundary of this massive lake was. Sending his divine sense into the water, before it could go deep, he felt a terrifying aura that blanketed the sky and earth.
It contained the auras of several Great Emperor Realm powerhouses, making one’s hair stand on end.
“Plop!” Su Chen’s body fell from the sky like a shooting star, sinking into the lake.
Strangely, the lake water was not cold but rather warm. As he went deeper, the water grew increasingly hot. In the end, the water around him had already started boiling, with a series of orderly white bubbles floating up toward the surface.
“As expected!” Su Chen’s eyes lit up. “I was right earlier. The place where great emperors refined weapons is indeed at the bottom of the lake. I wonder what kind of scene is down there..”
