After entering the lake, Duan Ling Tian realized that aura was even denser.
‘It’s at the bottom of the lake!’ Duan Ling Tian dove to the bottom of the lake before he straightened his body with his feet on the ground. He walked around as though he was walking on dry land. The water was not an obstacle to him.
At the bottom of the lake, not a single fish could be seen. There was only seaweed everywhere.
‘There!’ With the almost magnetic pull of the aura, coupled with his sensitivity, he soon pinpointed the place and made his way to a growth of seaweed.
However, when Duan Ling Tian saw there was nothing else apart from the seaweed, he was baffled. “What’s going on? The aura obviously came from here!”
With a raise of his hand, Duan Ling Tian used his Sun True Origin and removed the seaweed. After he removed the seaweed, his eyes immediately lit up. A palace was located beneath the seaweed.
At this moment, he was hovering above the palace. There was a layer of translucent veil that kept him and the water in the lake out.
‘I should be able to enter…’ Duan Ling Tian tried to pass through the translucent barrier. His feet touched the barrier, and he discovered the barrier did not repel him.
“Just as I expected! There’s no problem with entering!” A few moments later, Duan Ling Tian walked through the barrier and appeared above the ancient and magnificent palace.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the opening. Behind the opening, he saw the bottom of the lake where he was at previously.
“Could the Dragon Cleansing Pool be in the palace?” Duan Ling Tian shifted his attention to the palace as he descended and made his way to the palace door. He studied the palace before him intently.
The palace was not very big, but it emitted an ancient aura. It was this aura that had caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention earlier.
“The Dragon Cleansing Pool is in there?” Duan Ling Tian did not linger outside the palace, his mind was entirely focused on the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
After pushing open the palace door open and entering it, he realized it was misty inside.
There was a gigantic pool under the mist. It was filled with milky-white liquid that emitted an enticing aura. The aura had more than the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy, it seemed to contain something else as well.
“This is the Dragon Cleansing Pool?”
After Duan Ling Tian activated the Strange Pupil, he could see through the mist, allowing him a clear view of the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
The Dragon Cleansing Pool looked like an ordinary pool, but it was surrounded by nine Divine Dragon statues with long bodies.
The tails of these Divine Dragons statues went straight into the Dragon Cleansing Pool while their head rested all over the place with their mouths open. The faint Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was devoured by them before it was infused into the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
Duan Ling Tian tentatively put his hand into the Dragon Cleansing Pool after he arrived by its side.
The milky-white liquid in the Dragon Cleansing Pool was cool to the touch and a dense Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy flowed into Duan Ling Tian through his hand. Along with it, a mysterious force also flowed into his body.
After the latter flowed in, the Sun True Origin in his body instinctively circulated it through his body using the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique.
Moreover, even the Dragon Energy that allowed him to transform into a Dragon Warrior that was given to him by an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon was also affected by the force. It became agitated before it went into a frenzy. Duan Ling Tian could not control it at all.
“What’s this?!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened as he quickly withdrew his hand. The Sun True Origin and Dragon Energy in his body quietened down immediately.
“Go in… There shouldn’t be a problem.” At the same time, Elder Huo’s voice rang in his ears.
“Elder Huo, earlier I…” Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly after he heard Elder Huo’s words.
Although he trusted Elder Huo a lot, his earlier experience with the pool left him with fear in his heart. He quickly recounted what had happened to Elder Huo.
“Don’t worry… It’s just the Dragon Energy in your body resonating with the force in the Dragon Cleansing Pool. If I’m not mistaken, not only will your cultivation base increase tremendously after you enter the Dragon Cleansing Pool, but you’ll probably benefit in other ways as well. You said your Sun True Origin circulated the force with your cultivation method… This means your cultivation method is also compatible with that force,” Elder Huo said, “It seems like this Dragon Cleansing Pool is very suitable for you. At this moment, I can’t tell you how you’ll benefit from entering the Dragon Cleansing Pool. However, I’m certain it’ll only benefit you and won’t harm you.”
“The mysterious force resonates with the Dragon Energy in my body and is compatible with my cultivation method?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised.
He was not surprised the force resonated with the Dragon Energy in his body since he had obtained it from this place and from an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon.
However, he was surprised that his cultivation method was also compatible with that force. “My cultivation method, the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, is created on Cloud Continent by the Rebirth Martial Emperor. Even the Rebirth Martial Emperor didn’t cultivate it. When I came to the Dao Martial Saint Land, the nine Divine Dragons’ silhouettes would appear when I mobilize the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and True Origin when I cultivate using the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique… It seems impossible for the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique that was created by the Rebirth Martial Emperor to have anything to do with the force in the dragon clan’s Saint Land, the Dragon Cleansing Pool! What’s going on?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled.
The Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique was created by the Rebirth Martial Emperor who once stood at the peak on Cloud Continent. However, even the Rebirth Martial Emperor in his prime was nothing compared to the current Duan Ling Tian!
Regardless of how strong the Rebirth Martial Emperor was, he was merely the best on Cloud Continent.
On the other hand, Duan Ling Tian could be considered as an elite in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
The Dragon Cleansing Pool was the Saint Land of the Dao Martial Saint Land’s Lower Province’s dragon clan.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not find any connection between the two of them.
“So be it… Since I can’t figure it out, I’ll just stop thinking about it. Since Elder Huo said there’s no problem with the Dragon Cleansing Pool, I’m sure it’s fine.”
Duan Ling Tian stopped thinking about the matter after he regained his senses. In just a move, he dove into the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
Splash!
At the instant Duan Ling Tian entered the Dragon Cleansing Pool, he discovered the milky-white liquid in the Dragon Cleansing Pool was cooling. His clothes evaporated as soon as it came in contact with the milky-white liquid.
“If I’d known this was going to happen, I would’ve removed my clothes before coming in.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head when he saw this.
In the next moment, Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes when he sensed something. Following that, his body seemed to have frozen like a statue as he fell into the Dragon Cleansing Pool.
“What’s happening?” Duan Ling Tian discovered he no longer had control of his body the moment his body fell.
However, his current situation was still a lot better compared to the situation he was in when he first came in.
Apart from not being able to control his body, Duan Ling Tian could still control his Divine Consciousness at least and observed his surroundings.
“Eh? I’ve regained control of my body.” A few moments later, Duan Ling Tian discovered he had control of his body again.
After he regained control of his body, he was shocked to discover the chaotic situation in his body.
Firstly, the liquid Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and the mysterious force in the Dragon Cleansing Pool had entered his body. It was fine if that was it.
The problem was his Sun True Origin, the Dragon Energy, and the energies from the Dragon Cleansing Pool had already begun to circulate in his body according to the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique. From the beginning until now, Duan Ling Tian did not do anything at all. It had circulated on its own.
In fact, there was nothing he could do at all. He could only stand idly as it circulated on its own.
“Is this still my body?” Duan Ling Tian felt bitter when he felt the four different energies in his body circulating through his 99 Saint Veins. He felt as though his body was no longer his own.
Fortunately, everything seemed to be progressing smoothly. His cultivation base was also progressing at an extremely terrifying speed.
The liquid Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Dragon Cleansing Pool was in a different league compared to the Spirit Pool in the Mystical Sky Mansion.
The latter would be completely absorbed by Duan Ling Tian with his current cultivation base. However, the former seemed to have an endless supply.
“Based on the current speed, it won’t take long for me to enter the Mastery Divine Saint Stage!” Duan Ling Tian could clearly feel the improvement in his cultivation base. If nothing changed, and the speed of his progress remained the same, it would take him 15 days at most to successfully break through to the Mastery Divine Saint Stage.
“Hm? What’s going on?” When Duan Ling Tian calmed down, he discovered two of the four forces in his body was acting abnormally.
The liquid Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and the Sun True Origin in his body were fine. However, the mysterious force had led the Dragon Energy astray as the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique stopped circulating suddenly.
Duan Ling Tian immediately circulated the energies using the Nine Dragons War Sovereign on his own.
“The Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique is indeed related to the mysterious force… However, what is it trying to do now?”
Duan Ling Tian realized that the mysterious force had actually led the Dragon Energy to each part of his body. After a few moments, he discovered his skin had begun to change. Dragon scales began to appear on his body. Furthermore, his hands and legs had also morphed into dragon hands and legs.
Each of his hand and leg had eight claws, and they gleamed sharply in the light. It was as though they were able to tear anything apart.
Wh-what’s happening? I haven’t even fully mastered the method to transform into a Dragon Warrior. It’s just directly helping me to transform into a Dragon Warrior!” Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded.
