Chapter 1419: Chapter 479: Grievances and Hatreds, Divine Power Pool
The Jiu Provinces Hall didn’t look big, but this left-side passage that Hall Master Fu led Ye Lingyue through was quite mysterious.
It was deep and long, winding and rugged, like a mountain cave tunnel.
Ye Lingyue followed behind, cautiously and carefully all the way, noting that this passage leading to the Divine Power Pool was not simple.
Though it seemed desolate, she occasionally felt that there was a large number of masters hiding nearby, whose skills were probably no weaker than hers. This might be the true strength of the Jiu Provinces Hall.
Apart from the hidden masters, as they traveled, Ye Lingyue also saw a multitude of mechanisms and arrays. If Hall Master Fu wasn’t leading the way, any intruder would probably find a road to death.
It seems that this Hall Master Fu is more unfathomable compared to Master Chen.
At the end of the road, they finally reached an open space, unveiling a courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with dozens of diverse people.
Among these people, many were unfamiliar faces, but upon closer inspection, everyone’s Primordial Power was formidable. Some, in Ye Lingyue’s opinion, were even comparable to Di Shen’s cultivation.
"Why are they here?"
Within the two or three dozen people, Ye Lingyue recognized a few familiar faces—Third Young Master Jin, as well as Yue Mubai and Hong Mingyue, and even Hong Yulang.
Hong Yulang had City Lord Ma’s backing, and Third Young Master Jin was from the direct lineage of the Jin Family, so getting a Divine Power Disk wasn’t surprising. But how did Yue Mubai and Hong Mingyue get in?
As it turns out, the reason lies in the rules of the Divine Power Pool.
The Divine Power Pool contains countless Divine Skills. Anyone with a Divine Power Disk can enter the pool.
However, successfully entering the pool and smoothly gaining favor with the Divine Skills, even breaking the prohibition of the Divine Skills is a separate matter.
As the name implies, Divine Skills require martial artists of the Divine Power Realm, at least the Small Divine Power Realm, or alchemists of corresponding cultivation, to break the prohibitions. Who is Third Young Master Jin? He’s a gluttonous dandy, whose cultivation at the Fourth and Fifth Paths of Reincarnation was accumulated with his family’s elixirs.
This means that even if sheer luck grants him a Divine Skill, he can’t break its prohibition.
That’s already considering good luck. With bad luck, he might not even establish himself in the pool, risking injury or death.
Third Young Master Jin understood this well, so after much contemplation, he devised a double-guarantee strategy.
The so-called double-guarantee involved sharing extra Divine Power Disks with Yue Mubai and Hong Mingyue, after exceeding the one skill he could manage. Yue Mubai is a Purple Fire holder, while Hong Mingyue possesses Ghost Valley Moth sorcery, both remarkable in his team.
With these two, Third Young Master Jin’s safety in the Divine Power Pool was at least ensured.
As for why not bring the evidently more formidable Xi Jiuye, it’s because Xi Jiuye had no interest in the Divine Power Pool and had no inclination to even make an accompanying trip.
To think of Xi Jiuye, with his Heavenly Gifted Divine Body, accustomed to the Divine Realm’s Divine Skills, who would care about the Human Realm’s inferior Broken Divine Skills.
Decisively rejected by Xi Jiuye, Third Young Master Jin remained relentless. After much persuasion, Xi Jiuye reluctantly agreed to assist if Third Young Master Jin truly encountered trouble in the pool.
This promise from Xi Jiuye was indeed the true reason for Xi Jiuye’s Primordial Spirit Avatar leaving his body.
Of course, this was known only to Xi Jiuye himself, leaving Third Young Master Jin in the dark about what form Xi Jiuye’s promised assistance would take.
Seeing Ye Lingyue step in, a malicious expression appeared on Hong Mingyue’s face.
She walked over to Third Young Master Jin and whispered a few words to him.
Hong Mingyue essentially said that this person was the City Lord of Huangquan City, and recently, she had been closely associated with Gong Linxin. It seemed like the one who rescued Gong Linxin that night was from Huangquan City.
Upon hearing this, Third Young Master Jin’s face immediately turned fierce.
He glared fiercely at Ye Lingyue.
Ever since being drugged and framed that day, Third Young Master Jin had regarded the incident as a lifetime disgrace.
He dreamed of finding the person who set him up, and didn’t expect it to be the young City Lord of Huangquan City.
"Third Young Master, don’t rush. First take care of the main business, then we deal with her slowly."
Yue Mubai also harbored deep hatred for Ye Lingyue. Remembering that she had killed Fire Spirit Zi Yan, Yue Mubai wished to cut her into pieces.
With Hong Yulang added to the mix, in no time, four pairs of wolf-like eyes fixated on Ye Lingyue.
"Acquainted?"
Hall Master Fu sensed something unusual.
"Fought a few times, I guess barely acquainted."
Ye Lingyue shrugged.
Hall Master Fu mumbled ambiguously, seemingly whispering.
"So young yet ordinary in skill, but your ability to attract grudges is first-tier."
Ye Lingyue smiled bitterly inside. Was it her fault?
Sometimes she wondered why, despite being so "low-key", she seemed prone to offending others.
"Once inside the Divine Power Pool, head eastward if possible. If overwhelmed, retreat. Better to have the forest and worry about firewood later."
Fu Sanshi mumbled.
Ye Lingyue was taken aback, recognizing a note of concern in Fu Sanshi’s words, and glanced at the elderly man’s impatient face.
"I’m not doing it for you, humph, just considering my wife."
Hall Master Fu’s neck turned suspiciously red.
Ye Lingyue smiled lightly, feeling that this old man’s antics were just like a child’s.
He was worried about her, but did Third Young Master Jin’s group really think more people could bully less? If they truly thought that, they underestimated Ye Lingyue.
Ye Lingyue mused as Hall Master Fu checked the time and spoke.
"Hand over your Divine Power Disks. At the stroke of time, the Divine Power Pool will open. Remember, do not seek shortcuts once in the pool, only through sincere comprehension can you gain Divine Skills."
Hall Master Fu spoke, and everyone handed over their Divine Power Disks.
They had been in the courtyard for a while, but had not seen the Divine Power Pool, and were curious about its legendary location.
They watched as Hall Master Fu checked the disks and began chanting.
The sky turned dim, with clouds surging towards this small courtyard of a few dozen square feet in the Jiu Provinces Hall.
The sound of the wind, human voices, everything faded away.
"One pool in hand, Divine Skills achieved."
With a low shout, the clouds in the sky seemed stirred by a great hand, spreading apart with the swirling clouds.
A pillar of light descended from the sky, pouring down like flowing water.
Ye Lingyue felt the ground shaking beneath her feet, rapidly sinking.
