Chapter 1840: Chapter 1837: Gaining a Truly Precious Treasure
"This is meaningless. Today, you won’t get past, and Huang Ying and Lin Feng, those treacherous lovers, are going to die!" Zhao Ying’er sneered, her hand as pure as jade swiftly reaching out, and with a "swish," she directly unsheathed the Spirit Sword.
The Spirit Sword was drawn, its sound resonating like a warning of endless killing intent, chilling one to the bone.
"Are you crazy?"
"Zhao Mo liked me the most in his life, and you dare to go against me?"
"Aren’t you afraid your brother will climb out of his grave to blame you?" Huang Ying was utterly shocked. She couldn’t fathom why Zhao Ying’er, who had always been quite civil to her — especially since Zhao Mo’s infatuation with her was well-known throughout Netherworld City — would do this.
"Bah!" Zhao Ying’er looked at her with disgust, "With your kind of filth, you’re not even worthy of mentioning my brother’s name."
"You lost your dignity consorting with your own cousin, let alone concerning my brother’s demise — that wicked act is your doing," Zhao Ying’er continued, without wasting another word, making her move instantly.
The Spirit Sword was like a streak of silver lightning, directly aimed at Huang Ying.
Huang Ying was so terrified her face turned pale, her legs giving out as she collapsed helplessly to the ground.
Luckily, Huang Huntuo reacted swiftly, stepping in to block the sword.
With a loud "clang," the sound of metal clashing reverberated around them.
"Seventh Level of Soul Transformation Realm? Are you kidding me? When did you break through?" Huang Huntuo felt a numbing sensation in his hand and his arms trembled slightly, struggling to withstand that strike.
Zhao Ying’er’s face turned slightly red, silently relieved, as she definitely couldn’t tell them she had helped Xu Wendong release it once, which led to her breakthrough in cultivation.
"None of your damn business?" Zhao Ying’er snorted coldly, her Spirit Sword like a lively swimming dragon, striking Huang Huntuo again, forcing him to continue retreating.
Seeing this, Huang Huntuo was anxious, shouting loudly, "Lin Dong, get over here right now and help me, or after she’s done with me, you’re next."
In the distance, Lin Dong’s eyes flashed, yet he ignored Huang Huntuo’s plea for help. Instead, he moved like a black whirlwind, rushing directly toward the Nether Pool.
His target was Xu Wendong!
"Hmph, trying to snatch my opportunity, courting death!" Lin Dong shouted angrily, releasing a stream of Yin Energy with a wave of his hand.
The Yin Energy roared out like a ferocious beast, carrying terrifying power.
If Xu Wendong were hit, he would likely be severely injured on the spot.
However, Xu Wendong did something unexpected. With a flicker, he submerged beneath the Nether Pool.
The Yin Energy Lin Dong unleashed was absorbed by the Nether Pool, having no effect on Xu Wendong whatsoever.
"What’s happening?" Lin Dong was shocked, watching helplessly as Xu Wendong disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
At this moment, even Xu Wendong hadn’t realized he had sunk to the bottom of the pool.
He only felt himself continuously descending, surrounded by increasingly dense Yin Energy, as if enveloped in a thick quilt.
This rich Yin Energy made him feel as though his breakthrough was within reach, almost touchable.
"Rumble..." Before long, a series of muffled sounds came from within him, like a floodgate opening, as a powerful force erupted inside him.
"Soul Transformation Realm, Fourth Level!" Xu Wendong suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp flash flickering within them, as he clenched his fists, feeling his body surging with powerful energy.
At that moment, he could clearly feel his strength had increased several times over.
"Huh? Something’s off, where am I?" Xu Wendong instinctively opened his mouth, only to release a stream of bubbles.
Only then did he realize he had sunk to the bottom of the pool, and the surrounding Yin Energy was gradually diminishing.
The Yin Energy in the Nether Pool was formed over a long period of time.
When Xu Wendong frantically absorbed the Yin Energy, it naturally dissipated entirely.
But Xu Wendong keenly sensed that at the bottom of the Nether Pool, there was a pitch-black passage.
The passage emitted a faint Yin Energy, although not intense, it was continuous, like a never-drying brook.
"The Yin Energy in the Nether Pool likely isn’t naturally formed but transmitted from that passage," Xu Wendong instantly realized.
He recognized that the so-called opportunity might not lie in the Nether Pool itself, but in the passage at the bottom of the pool.
For years, no one had discovered this secret.
Before long, Xu Wendong decisively headed toward the passage.
Since he was already there, he naturally wanted to explore it thoroughly.
The secret behind the formation of the Nether Pool, if it held a great opportunity, he had to obtain it at all costs.
Even if there was danger, he had to take the plunge, for only by becoming stronger could he find the Three-Life Stone, locate those reincarnated Celestial Gods, and rebuild the Heavenly Court!
After entering the passage, it was dim and dark, impossible to see one’s own hand in front of their face.
Xu Wendong casually made a gesture, and a wisp of Yin Energy instantly transformed into a soft green light, illuminating the passage’s interior.
Though underwater, he could breathe freely here, thanks to the Yin Energy.
Xu Wendong continued deeper, soon detecting that the passage was gradually ascending.
"There’s something extraordinary here," Xu Wendong marveled to himself. For this to ascend from the summit of Ancient Pan Mountain even while underwater, it was exceedingly strange.
Before long, he found himself inside a vast cave.
Apart from the water pool connected to the passage, the rest of the cave was dry.
On the cave’s stone wall, there was actually a bronze gate.
One corner of the gate was open, and from that gap, dense Yin Energy continuously poured out.
Upon arrival, Xu Wendong felt his inner strength swelling again, as if an invisible hand were ceaselessly promoting his cultivation level.
"Such concentrated Yin Energy. This is where the true opportunity of the Nether Pool lies!" Xu Wendong was overjoyed and immediately hurried toward the bronze gate. The open corner was just the right size for him to pass through.
But as soon as he entered, he was greeted by a shocking sight.
"What the heck, isn’t this the Xuanming Yin Spirit Pearl?"
Upon pushing open the bronze gate, a carefully excavated artificial cave came into view.
The cave was enveloped in dense, almost tangible, Yin Energy, like a heavy black curtain surrounding the entire space.
Standing in the center of the cave was a simple, ancient platform, and atop the platform lay a completely dark pearl.
The pearl’s surface shimmered with mysterious dark light, continuously emitting dense Yin Energy. That Yin Energy slithered across the air like agile serpents and pythons.
Just inhaling a breath of this Yin Energy made one feel their strength instantly increase, as if a warm current surged through their body.
Xu Wendong’s heart was stirred. Based on the host’s memory, he immediately identified this treasure.
In the Netherworld, it was an invaluable treasure for increasing one’s cultivation level, known as the Xuanming Yin Spirit Pearl, far more precious than the Soul Condensing Pearl.
This kind of pearl is extremely rare, generally only forming in areas where nature’s spiritual energy is concentrated and brimming with the spirit of heaven and earth, forging over millennia.
Once formed, it becomes an inexhaustible spring, continuously emanating Yin Energy. This is what makes it remarkably valuable.
For those cultivating, acquiring such a pearl would be akin to having a shortcut to the peak.
With its aid, reaching the Tongyou Realm would no longer be an unattainable dream.
Indeed, it would be as easy as lifting a finger!
