Borrowing a sword

Chapter 305 The Emperor's Divine Thoughts
"Because of the power of origin?"

Lin Qingci wasn't surprised by the Emperor's words.

Cultivators who have refined fragments of the Primordial Origin have undergone a qualitative change compared to ordinary cultivators.

Chu Huaixu is currently unable to use the power within his body simply because his cultivation level is too low.

But his body had been nourished by this power.

Many so-called bottlenecks, upper limits, and barriers do not exist for him.

Lin Qingci thought to herself, "It seems that he can saturate and absorb all nine of the previous imperial pools."

"No, he even absorbed it twice through body-refining techniques."

"It shouldn't be long before I break through to the next realm within the pool," the female national advisor guessed to herself.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly mediocre effects of the Emperor Pool earlier; the later ones are quite powerful.

Chu Huaixu entered the Imperial Pool one after another, and soon arrived at the seventh Imperial Pool.

"With the boost from [Physical Ascension], I gained 64 experience points in one go!" A look of pleasure appeared on his face.

"In other words, the next Imperial Pool will yield 128 million."

"Next place, I can get 256 million!"

He did a quick mental calculation and added up the experience points he could get from the nine imperial pools. He could get 511 million points in one go!

This is a huge sum of money.

"It's a pity that we still have to compete in the East-West Continent Grand Tournament."

"If I were to win the Xuanhuang Champion title again, I would still have to break through the second level of the Origin Spirit Realm while maintaining my cultivation level."

"These cultivation experience points can't all be used to upgrade for the time being."

After soaking in the seventh imperial pool, Chu Huaixu opened his eyes and looked ahead.

He was looking at the wisps of mist at the far end.

"Why is there fog only in that one place?" he wondered to himself.

To be honest, the Imperial Pool is quite peculiar.

In order, each pool is hotter than the last.

But strangely enough, no water vapor rose up.

This made the swirling mist at the end seem somewhat out of place.

Lin Qingci sat on the futon, knowing full well that the other person couldn't see her, but she still felt as if she were looking at him from a distance.

She could see the joy in the young man's eyes.

"Unfortunately, everything you obtain in the first nine Imperial Pools will be plundered by the Ancestral Emperor after you enter the tenth Imperial Pool."

The capital city, a monastery.

The preliminary draw has been completed.

Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing had good luck with their lot, drawing people from minor sects in the Moon Kingdom.

Therefore, Xiao Xu didn't need to use the bronze sword, and Nangong Yue didn't need to fly outside the Imperial Pool to find Jiang Zhi to retrieve the sword.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd began to disperse on their own, and Qin Xuanxiao, with Lin Zixuan, walked towards Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing.

"Miss Han, Brother Xu, it's been a long time." The Prince Rui's heir greeted the two with a friendly smile.

The four were fairly familiar with each other, but their relationship was limited to that.

Because of Chu Huaixu's appearance, these four main characters in the world did not establish any friendship or bond with each other.

Qin Xuanxiao was originally supposed to be the leader and decision-maker in this four-person group.

But things are very different now.

Big Ice Cube and Little Xu looked at the incomparably noble Prince Rui before them, and both felt that he was both familiar and unfamiliar.

It's strange, it feels like something about him has changed, but upon closer inspection, it seems like nothing has changed at all.

"I feel like the way he looks at people, his demeanor, and the aura he exudes have all changed," Han Shuangjiang thought to herself.

Previously, Qin Xuanxiao possessed the spirited air of a prince or nobleman.

But now he has gained a touch of maturity beyond his years.

Even somewhat imposing without being angry?
The big ice block couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he felt that this Prince Rui's son had changed quite a bit.

In fact, as a "container," many influences have already occurred subtly.

At this moment, Qin Xuanxiao looked at the two of them and said, "I heard that Chu Huaixu went to the Imperial Pool?"

Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing exchanged a glance and nodded.

"I hope Brother Chu can gain something from it," Qin Xuanxiao said with a friendly smile, his tone quite sincere.

His previous concerns stemmed from the fear that Chu Huaixu had absorbed the Emperor's divine will.

However, when he entered the Emperor Pool last time, the Ancestral Emperor had already told him that once he refined the fragments of the Profound Yellow Origin and possessed the power of the Origin within his body, the remaining four strands of the Emperor's divine sense would also merge into his body.

"Even that wisp of blood within the Imperial Preceptor's body will be extracted and then merged into mine."

Since Chu Huaixu wouldn't take it away from him, he didn't care.

At this moment, Qin Xuanxiao smiled and said to the two of them, "Judging from the time, Brother Chu should be able to return in another hour."

"How about I, the young master, host a small gathering tonight?" he suggested.

Han Shuangjiang looked at Qin Xuanxiao and said, "I will convey this message to Chu Huaixu when he returns."

"it is good."

Qin Xuanxiao turned his head and glanced leisurely in the direction of the Imperial Pool.

But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Xuanxiao, have you completed the task I asked you to do earlier?"

He was unable to communicate with the Emperor through thought.

I can only reply verbally.

This is clearly not convenient.

But those in power don't care about these minor details.

If it's inconvenient for you, that's your problem; you can decide for yourself.

Qin Xuanxiao dared not delay, and first gave a soft "hmm" before bidding farewell to Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing.

Outside the Imperial Pool.

Jiang Zhi had been waiting outside, protecting Chu Huaixu. He was somewhat puzzled.

"Why did it take you so long to get in?"

"Logically speaking, judging by the time, they should have come out long ago."

The Imperial Pool and Imperial Mausoleum of the Moon Kingdom have a miraculous effect only on the people of the Moon Kingdom.

In his view, Chu Huaixu was a person from the Mirror Kingdom of Dongzhou.

I estimate that soaking in five imperial pools would be about the maximum.

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

"He probably used his body-refining supernatural power," he guessed to himself.

In this way, we can probably make a small profit.

Under normal circumstances, it might allow him to break through to the next level of cultivation.
However, Chu Huaixu often created some incredible miracles.

"Perhaps he can gain even more?" Jiang Zhi thought.

He wasn't in a hurry at all.

Because this junior master of the Taoist sect wasn't exactly idle either.

Previously, Chu Huaixu had told him that the core of the Imperial Capital Array seemed to be a sword.

Today, having nothing to do, Jiang Zhi spread his divine sense to explore the capital city.

"This kid said earlier that the location of that sword doesn't seem to be far from the Imperial Pool."

But when he searched with his divine sense, he found nothing.

Despite Jiang Zhi's current decline in cultivation level, his spiritual strength remains at the ninth level and has not decreased.

"Even I couldn't find its existence, yet Chu Huaixu was able to sense it through his sword heart?"

He increasingly felt that this kid's sword heart seemed to be a little different from everyone else's.

Chu Huaixu was unaware that his grandmaster, a peerless killer, had his mind racing after hearing that the core of the Imperial Capital's grand formation was a sword. He felt that killing Ming Xuanji had become even more feasible.

"This sword is suspected to be the national treasure sword."

"If we can find it and tamper with it, then the Imperial Capital's Grand Array will be in trouble."

"This is Ming Xuanji's greatest asset in the city."

"At that time, we might be able to kill him."

He still had a sliver of hope.
Two more hours passed.

However, Chu Huaixu has not yet been released.

"Could he have really soaked all the way to the last imperial pool?" Jiang Zhi thought to himself.

Inside the coffin-like stone building, Chu Huaixu was actually still soaking in the Ninth Imperial Pool.

The pool water here has turned completely blood red.

"The water temperature is actually about the same as boiling water," Chu Huaixu thought to himself.

But for him, it was naturally not a form of torture.

This level is nothing.

He looked at his character panel, and with each increase in experience points, a feeling of joy welled up inside him.

After absorbing to saturation, he exited the state of sacred body.

After leaving the Ninth Imperial Pool, Chu Huaixu felt quite accomplished.

"They are all ten beads."

He was actually quite puzzled, wondering why he could absorb more drugs than the protagonist of the world.

But I can't worry about that now.

As he walked, he swung his sword, and slowly made his way to the tenth imperial pool.

Within the misty haze, Lin Qingci did not look away this time.

But her eyes were focused as much as possible on Chu Huaixu's upper body, or rather, his face.

Even though the two were some distance apart, the female imperial advisor began to feel that the place was a bit hot.

Her gaze fell upon the jade bottle placed to the side.

This contains the aphrodisiac she had prepared in advance.

This is no ordinary item.

It's a high-end item from a dual cultivation sect.

As long as she doesn't deliberately use her spiritual power to resist the medicine's effects, it will definitely be effective.

Moreover, the jade bottle contained enough for three people.
"The process of possession and fusion requires twelve hours."

"There's no rush."

"I will take it during the last incense stick's time."

Originally, this female national teacher saw it as a form of liberation and had been waiting for this day for a long time.

She had already resigned herself to this situation.

Even when she spoke with the Ancestral Emperor earlier, she felt no emotion and her tone remained largely unchanged.

But now, looking at the "real person" in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After all, although she was already a mature woman, she was still a virgin and had never been intimate.

At this moment, Lin Qingci looked at Chu Huaixu, who was standing at the other end of the Imperial Pool.

Instead of immediately immersing himself in the water, he looked down at the blood-red pool.

This imperial pool gave him an indescribable feeling.

He felt inexplicably unwell.

"Perhaps it's because the blood is too dark?"

Within the pool, four streams of air were moving about, like dragons swimming in the water.

"Is this the Emperor's divine will?" Chu Huaixu wondered.

(P.S.: I'm not feeling well, so there will only be one update today. Sorry.)

I recommend a book by an old friend, "Master Dao, What I Cultivate is the Dao." Those interested can take a look.
