Jin Xi immediately said to Lat's Hand, "Alright, my junior sister has spoken for you, so I won't say anything more. Once I have gained strength, we can have a match, and you won't have anything to say then. You should know that we are always getting stronger."
Lat's Hand snorted coldly and did not respond. He began to contemplate Jin Xi's words: indeed, Jin Xi was continuously growing while he had stagnated. If this continued, he would soon be surpassed by humans. No, he needed to go to the Great Dragon Pool and see if it could help him.
Lat's Hand promptly said to Guan Yue, "Little Hybrid, I will heed Jin Xi's advice and also go to the Great Dragon Pool. Perhaps there will be some gains."
Lat's Hand was so willful that he could completely disregard face and immediately change his stance. Jin Xi glared at him but didn't know how to scold him.
Guan Yue found their banter amusing and replied, "I was planning to invite both of you to try the Great Dragon Pool anyway; as for how much you gain, that's up to your own abilities."
When Guan Yue informed Huangfu Jiayin that her sister had entered the Great Dragon Pool with Naiqian, Huangfu Jiayin opposed it, saying, "My sister cannot know. If she finds out about your Sky-Sealing Tower and tells Zihongfang, it would be a big problem. Let's only inform Naiqian."
Guan Yue thought it over and realized that the existence of the Sky-Sealing Tower must not be disclosed to others. This was a top-nine ranked artifact, not to mention it was currently where her father was cultivating. So she had no choice but to agree with Huangfu Jiayin and only notify Naiqian.
The time for Spirit Transformation at the Great Dragon Pool finally arrived.
In the Great Dragon Pool River, there was a section of river about five miles long that had undergone complete Spirit Transformation.
Only this section of the river had been thoroughly transformed. However, there were also areas with particularly strong Spiritual Energy known as the Core Area, which was about three hundred meters long. This area was accessible only to students exempt from exams at Dragon Lake Academy and the top one thousand students before competitions. Among them were Lu Ziang, Fang Bulian, Fire Red Girl Hu Hui, along with Little Red Fish, Chu Shaotian, Yun Yi, Leng Jing, Pingle, Dugu Shalong, Li Xiaohui, and others.
Over one hundred empires from Yongning Continent selected more than one thousand Disciples who were arranged along both sides of the first one thousand students at Dragon Lake Academy, each occupying a river section of about one mile in length. Following that were over eight thousand students from Dragon Lake Academy who qualified through competitions.
This included Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Guan Yue, and others.
First, the top one thousand students and exempt students from Dragon Lake Academy entered the Spiritualized Dragon Pool River's Spirit Transformation core area; then representatives from various empires entered the river. Among them was Ouyang Shaohua, who was an exempt representative from Southern Source Empire; He Bi also entered as an accompanying personnel.
Finally, over eight thousand students selected from Dragon Lake Academy entered the Great Dragon Pool Spiritual Transformation Stage.
As for other areas of the Great Dragon Pool, it was filled with millions of students from Dragon Lake Academy, all eager to take a dip in the river, hoping to absorb some Spiritual Energy. If they couldn't absorb any, they would at least enjoy a bath.
Upon entering the Great Dragon Pool, Guan Yue felt extremely comfortable. He signaled Huangfu Jiayin and Naijia to come closer, then slowly released Naiqian, Jin Xi, and Lat's Hand, who had already undergone the Unintentional Submergence Technique transformation, followed by his father Guan Songtao and the Zhang sisters, Zhang Yi and Zhang Min.
Everyone began absorbing Spiritual Energy.
Guan Yue also unleashed the Magic Supreme Technique to start devouring it. This was a plan he had long considered; the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of Dragon Pool Spiritualization, with its absolutely pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, was something Guan Yue could not let slip by.
Everyone entering the Great Dragon Pool Spiritual Transformation Stage employed their utmost methods to gain maximum benefits. Some used precious artifacts to collect the now Spirit Transformation river water, others utilized devouring techniques to absorb the current Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, while some employed their cultivation methods to consume the Spirit Transformation river water for gradual absorption and digestion later.
Each had their unique tricks, showcasing their abilities.
Since representatives from over a hundred empires of Yongning Continent were present, their methods varied widely.
Everyone was employing their techniques to harvest the purest Spiritual Energy from between heaven and earth. This type of Spiritual Energy was indeed immensely beneficial for Disciples. Shortly after entering the river, several individuals began breaking through their realms.
A series of brilliant lights shot up into the sky, making the Great Dragon Pool appear even more solemn and mysterious.
He Bi was surrounded by dozens of princes who admired her ethereal beauty and celestial grace. Like hungry dogs drawn to the scent of meat, they drooled and followed her closely, eager to please her, all wanting to experience her charm.
The experienced teachers had previously hinted to He Bi that she should show some favor towards powerful imperial guests. From their words, He Bi understood that in her teachers' eyes, those empires represented true top-tier power.
However, as a woman from Southern Source Empire, He Bi had always held a fondness for the neighboring empires. This affection was not innate but had subtly taken root in her heart over time.
Upon comparison, she found herself drawn to Wuma Xiangzuo from Vast Empire. Yet being as clever as she was, she did not express this openly; she merely allowed Wuma Xiangzuo to sense her goodwill vaguely.
Of course, at this moment, He Bi's main focus was on absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the Great Dragon Pool. This was a matter crucial to her lifelong achievements.
Ouyang Shaohua was seriously absorbing the extremely rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in the Great Dragon Pool River. She kept thinking about how she was simultaneously in this Great Dragon Pool River with Guan Yue, and she felt a hint of excitement. She knew that Guan Yue would definitely have many ways to gather this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, so she didn't want to fall too far behind.
Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, and the three of them stood together, all working hard to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from the river.
Jin Xi was pleasantly surprised to discover how greatly this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy benefited her, so she remained silent, completely immersed in the immense joy of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
Lat's Hand was also continuously trying to accept this incredibly dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. After wandering for tens of thousands of years, he had never encountered such concentrated Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, which had already liquefied into a visible milky white form. He truly felt that if he missed this opportunity to absorb the Spiritual Energy, it would be a great loss.
Nearby, Jin Xi was happily absorbing the energy, which made Lat's Hand even more anxious. He worked harder and focused intently, feeling a slight surge of Origin Energy. Lat's Hand was overjoyed and calmed himself down to receive the current influx of spiritual power with extremely precise calculations.
Guan Yue began to use the Magic Supreme Technique to devour the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from the Great Dragon Pool River. Instantly, he felt an immense sense of relief. Waves of Spiritual Energy transformed into visible spiritual water that flowed directly toward his Dantian. Then it changed into a visible aura of Origin Energy that surged toward his brain. As this Origin Energy flowed in, the Blood Sea, Spirit Sea, and Sea of Awareness in his brain rapidly expanded.
Guan Yue was very pleased and let go of his control, starting to absorb wildly.
At this moment, tens of thousands of Disciples in the section of Dragon Pool Spiritualization were desperately absorbing this incredibly precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that was rare for ten thousand years.
Everyone's faces showed satisfied smiles.
Fang Bulian was secretly delighted; as long as he could hold on for another three hours like this, he would reach Eternal Realm Middle Grade.
Wuma Xiangzuo stood beside He Bi, also working hard to absorb the energy while thinking to himself: "This is truly a good thing. If I can hold on for another four hours, I will definitely reach the Pinnacle of the Marvelous Realm, and I might even break through Wonderland to enter Eternal Realm. If I can break through to Eternal Realm, I will be the first among the princes of my Vast Empire and surpass Wuma Xiangwei. Wuma Xiangwei has always been pressing down on him, becoming his greatest worry."
Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui also felt her Primordial Yin rapidly increasing; she had now reached Mid-Level Wonder and was about to reach Supreme Wonder Realm.
She looked at Little Red Fish in the distance, secretly fearing that Little Red Fish would surpass her. Although she was her junior sister, she did not want her junior sister to surpass her; she wanted to be recognized as the strongest. Under the pressure of her junior sister's growth, Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui hoped even more to become powerful enough to leave everyone else far behind!
However, gradually all the Disciples in this river felt a weakening of the Spiritual Energy. Although it wasn't a significant decrease, those present were all Senior Cultivators above Wonderland and could clearly sense it.
They were surprised for a moment but gradually adapted. With so many people absorbing it together, the consumption of Spiritual Energy was certainly significant.
However, this feeling persisted. The crowd began to discuss among themselves.
Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, and Naiqian huddled closely together, feeling that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was becoming increasingly dense. It was becoming very difficult for them to absorb it because all the Spiritual Energy around them had begun to solidify.
The Spiritual Energy had started to solidify into a solid form, like ice cubes. Thus, the three girls embraced the ice of Spiritual Energy, allowing the cubes to melt beside their bodies.
Guan Yue smiled and said, "Huangfu Jiayin, Naijia, Naiqian, try to find a container to collect some of these ice cubes; you can absorb them slowly later."
Guan Yue herself was collecting them using a storage leather belt obtained from Ouyang Xinyi.
Guan Yue discovered that when she used the Magic Supreme Technique, all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy silently surged toward her. In Guan Yue's eyes, a stream of Spiritual Energy as thick as an arm was continuously flowing into her body. The concentration of Spiritual Energy around her had reached a solidifying level.
At this moment, everyone nearby felt that the speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy had slowed down. In reality, it was because the influx of Spiritual Energy greatly exceeded what was being absorbed, resulting in a buildup of Spiritual Energy that made it feel like their intake speed had decreased.
Especially Guan Songtao and the Zhang Sisters, who were experiencing significant changes in their physical structure and elevation in realm amidst such dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. However, Guan Yue kept suppressing the three of them to prevent any breakthroughs here.
Their realms were too low; if they broke through now, others would notice that lower-level Disciples were mixed in, which would lead to considerable trouble.
More and more Spiritual Energy surged toward Guan Yue.
Guan Yue already had quite a bit of Condensed Spiritual Energy around her. She hurriedly collected it all into her belt without stopping for even a moment. The surging tide of Spiritual Energy continued to gather and solidify around Guan Yue while she kept collecting the solidified Spiritual Energy.
