Ye Yuan smiled without speaking and did not follow up on this too. He could not very well tell Yang Xiao that he was a Tier 9 Array Emperor, right?
This place’s camouflage technique was extremely profound. With the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s present standard, they absolutely could not set it up.
Ye Yuan reckoned that this should be set up long ago by a previous generation Holy Lord. It was even possible that it was set up by the first generation Holy Lord.
Wanting to forcefully crack this camouflage technique, most likely it could not be done at all without having Eighth or Ninth Level Dao Profound strength.
Even if Tu You knew the way to crack it, wanting to send them into the Crimson Afterglow Valley, he likely had to pay a considerable price as well.
From that day’s conversation, Ye Yuan could tell that Tu You’s condition was not very good.
If not for so, it was impossible for him to do this sort of entrusting thing.
Under the situation where his condition was very bad, he was even planning on cracking this camouflage technique a second time. It could be seen that his sincerity was indeed sufficient.
That day, Ye Yuan ultimately still did not promise Tu You. He only said he will consider it.
But at this time, Ye Yuan became somewhat moved.
Right then, the earth quaked, and the mountains swayed within the mountain valley. It was as if an earthquake occured.
The corners of First Elder’s mouth twitched, and his eyes actually became somewhat moist.
Holy Lord’s lifespan originally did not have much left. With this, it was adding one disaster after another.
Especially sending six people in this time all at once, the burden on Tu You was even greater.
When the thought reached here, Chen Qin was incredibly upset in his heart.
Rumble …
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the lake in front of them actually parted into two, like it was forcefully cleaved into two halves by someone using a blade.
Between the two halves of the lake water, a gorgeous light emitted out.
“The few of you, go in from between this lake water! Remember, you all only have five day’s time. After five days, no matter how much you gained, you have to come out. Otherwise, you all can only come out again after 300 years.” Chen Qin warned.
Of course, Chen Qin knew that Tu You had the ability to forcefully crack this grand array. But that price expended was too great.
After Tu You cast the skill, he would die without a doubt!
This sort of method, Chen Qin naturally would not say out, and would not agree to Tu You casting the skill either.
“Yes, First Elder!”
The six people received the order and leaped into the brilliant light, then vanished from sight.
After Ye Yuan’s group of six disappeared, a light flashed, revealing that hoary and aged silhouette of Tu You’s.
The current Tu You looked even older than before at a glance.
Seeing Tu You, Chen Qin’s expression changed, “Holy Lord, you …”
Around Tu You was a strand of faintly discernible black qi circling around. Martial artists all knew that this vague black qi was precisely death qi!
Once this sort of aura appeared around a martial artist, they were not far from exhausting their lifespans.
Tu You waved a hand and said, “Opening the array formation this time, the essence energy expended was a little too great. It’s fine. My body, I have a score in my heart. Hanging on for three years shouldn’t be an issue. I just hope that these children can grow up faster.”
Chen Qin’s years ran down his old face as he said, “Holy Lord, it’s all Chen Qin who is incompetent, to not even have the ability to open up the Crimson Afterglow Valley’s array formation!”
Tu You smiled and said, “The Crimson Afterglow Valley has always been personally opened up by the Holy Lord. When was it your turn?”
If Tu You was still in his peak state, opening the Crimson Afterglow Valley naturally would not be too much of an issue and would not expend longevity either.
But the current Tu You could not endure such tremendous expenditure at all. Each time he used essence energy, his lifespan would be lost even faster!
Chapter 804 - Entering the Pool

Ye Yuan only felt his vision blurred, and then he appeared in a canyon.
“Such powerful essence energy! I clearly haven’t seen the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool yet, and I can actually sense its direction!” The moment Yang Xiao came in, he made an unnecessary fuss.
But visibly moved expressions appeared on the faces of the others. Clearly, they all felt very surprised by this surge of essence energy undulation.
Everyone was unable to contain the excitement in their hearts and walked towards the direction the essence energy came from.
Before long, a pool 1000 feet in circumference appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The pool water took on a dark red color. The essence energy undulation coming from the pool water made the hearts of these holy sons and quasi-holy sons all palpitate.
The essence energy undulation coming from the pool water was too intense, intense to the extent it made people fearful.
“Gulp! This is the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool? I were always unconvinced by the ancestors. But only after arriving here myself do I know how hard it is to enter the second level!” Nalan Hong said solemnly.
These holy sons were all people arrogant at heart and haughty in manner and always felt that them entering the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, they definitely could walk to the third level.
But sensing the essence energy undulations of this pool water in front of him, Nalan Hong knew that he was too naive.
To be able to enter the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, which one of them was not a prodigious talent?
But the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land’s rank dropped again and again. This showed that benefits from the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was not easy to be grasped.
“Nalan Hong, don’t waste anymore time! We only have five day’s time. If you’re not entering, I’m going in!”
Yang Xiao did not have that many qualms, jumping into the pool water immediately with a leap.
However, Yang Xiao appeared casual, but he clearly did not dare to jump too far either, only jumping out a distance of around 50 feet.
The expressions of the rest on the shore all became stern, staring fixedly at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao originally still had a careless appearance. But the moment he touched the water, everyone distinctly sensed his body turned stiff as if his entire person was frozen.
Following which, Yang Xiao’s body started trembling vigorously. The expression on his face seemed as if he was being tormented.
The expressions of the others all became apprehensive. About Yang Xiao’s ability, they were all aware of it. He entered the pool 50 feet out and was actually in such agony. It could be seen that this lucky chance was not so easy to obtain.
Nalan Hong and Pei Kun exchanged a glance. The two people seemed to have reached some sort of tacit agreement and actually leaped at the same time, but arrived 60 feet out into the pool water.
“Ye Yuan, aren’t you going down to test the waters?” Zhang Tianyi suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “You guys head down first. This pool water seemed to be quite impressive. My cultivation realm is a little low. I need to do some preparations first.”
Zhang Tianyi shot Ye Yuan a glance and leaped too, jumping into the pool water.
Afterward, Han Feng clasped his hands at Ye Yuan and leaped down as well.
Ye Yuan’s expression was calm, but he was not calm at all in his heart.
Approaching this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, Ye Yuan actually sensed that a mysterious power was calling him in the depths of the pool water!
Ye Yuan was sensing this my
sterious power, so he was not in a hurry to enter the water.
But he felt for a long time and also did not sense just what on earth this mysterious power was.
While at this time, the first one to enter the water, Yang Xiao, started to break through!
He only soaked for a short while in this pool water and actually directly broke through the bottleneck, letting him advance ranks successfully!
This pool water contained powerful energy. It could really be said to produce an immediate effect.
Another 10 minutes later, Nalan Hong and Pei Kun actually both advanced ranks!
Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi were not willing to fall behind too, likewise breaking through realms very quickly.
“Hahaha, really awesome! In a flip of a hand, it’s actually comparable to several years of my bitter cultivation! This Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool is indeed well-deserving of its reputation!” Yang Xiao chortled with laughter.
The others did not speak, but their faces were all unbelievably excited.
Clearly, the prowess of this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool far surpassed their imaginations.
Ye Yuan discovered that it seemed like he could not feel out this mysterious power no matter what and simply jumped into the pool water directly.
The moment he entered the water, a bone-piercing chill instantly enveloped his entire body, freezing all the nerves in his entire body until he became paralyzed and actually made him unable to move a muscle.
“I clearly couldn’t feel the water temperature by the shore. I didn’t expect that entering the water, it would actually be this bone-piercingly cold,” Ye Yuan said in surprise.
But Ye Yuan’s physical body was incomparably powerful. After experiencing the initial paralysis, he adapted very quickly.
At this time, every pore on his body was as if it opened up through soaking in the pool water, feeling indescribable comfort.
Powerful essence energy tunneled into his body from every pore, letting his cultivation realm rise rapidly.
Ye Yuan also absorbed the massive quantities of essence energy in the pool water without holding back at all and started to consolidate his cultivation realm, in order to make preparations for breaking through to Boundless Realm.
One step, two steps, three steps …
Ye Yuan walked forward step by step. Each step forward, the essence energy in the pool water would intensify a little more.
The tempering of the pool water was not just targeting his essence energy. It actually had a substantial strengthening effect on his physical body too.
Ye Yuan enjoyed the tempering of the pool water to his heart’s content and also got increasingly closer to Boundless Realm.
In a blink, one day and night passed.
The expressions on the few geniuses’ faces became progressively more contorted as well.
And one day’s time passed. Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi each only walked forward a distance of 20 feet, stopping at the 70 feet mark.
The three Heaven Enlightenment Realm holy sons actually advanced shoulder to shoulder, stopping at the 90 feet mark!
One had to know that the current generation Holy Lord, Tu You, merely entered the second level.
This time, three of them actually all achieved this goal!
“ARGHHH!”
All of a sudden, Pei Kun let out a pained cry and actually leaped right out of the water, returning to the shore!
On the bank, Pei Kun’s expression was very ugly.
He never would have thought that the first one to be eliminated was actually him.
Sweeping a glance over, Yang Xiao and Nalan Hong were basically at the same distance. Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng were also at the same distance.
Looking over towards Ye Yuan again, it made him rather surprised.
Ye Yuan actually still remained at the 50 feet distance at this time.
The Han Feng and Zhang Tianyi who were defeated at Ye Yuan’s hand both walked out 70 feet in distance. Ye Yuan actually just walked out a distance of 50 feet?
Right then, Han Feng suddenly lifted his head and gave a long cry, and actually took another step forward!
It was this step that let him cross into the second level, breaking through to the 80 feet distance!
Pei Kun’s expression change. He clearly did not expect that a Boundless Realm martial artist could actually reach the second level.
Splash!
Pei Kun was unresigned to failure and actually leaped, entering into the pool water once more.
This time, he progressed very smoothly, walking straight to the 90 feet area.
But right then, an extremely anguished expression surfaced on Pei Kun’s face. He finally could not endure it and retreated back to the shore once more.
Boom!
Pei Kun slammed a fist onto the ground and said unresignedly, “Could it be that my, Pei Kun’s, potential, merely ends here?!”
Chapter 805 - A Canal Is Formed When Water Comes

“Ah! Hurts to death! Hurts to death! I feel like my entire body is about to explode!”
Yang Xiao gave a series of miserable screams and directly jumped out of the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, coming to the shore, standing shoulder to shoulder with Pei Kun.
Pei Kun’s expression was very ugly by the side.
Yang Xiao walked out 130 feet at the end; he was much stronger than Pei Kun.
They, these holy sons, were all very clear that the further they walked indicated the greater the potential.
Which also showed that Yang Xiao’s potential was much greater compared to him, Pei Kun.
To be able to walk to the second level area, no matter how useless, he could reach Dao Profound Realm strength too.
“Sigh, I say, Pei Kun, don’t pull a long face anymore. At any rate, you reached the second level area too. Didn’t I just walk out a couple more feet than you? Speaking of which, didn’t expect that the three of us entering this time, we all entered the second level area. Truly remarkable!” Yang Xiao still had a cheeky appearance.
“Humph! Saying it lightly! Did you see or not? Even those two Boundless Realm brats walked further than me! When did I, Pei Kun, ever end up in such a sorry state?” Pei Kun was still very unhappy.
Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng had long entered the second level region already and actually walked even further than Pei Kun.
Indeed, this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool could bring tremendous benefits to these geniuses. But it would also thoroughly expose their own potential.
Originally, these geniuses only competed secretly. No one yielded to any one. But with this, their potential had nowhere to hide!
Pei Kun being the first one to be eliminated, he clearly could not cross this hurdle in his heart.
“Sigh, what are you thinking so much for? Can’t you still tell that no matter how merrily we jump around, the most talented one is definitely Ye Yuan! I reckon that before long, he’ll surpass you and I. Since that’s the case, what are you still worrying so much for?”
Maybe it was due to personality, Yang Xiao was much more open-minded than Pei Kun.
“Heh, surpass us? You take a look yourself. Just where has he only walked up to now? In my view, he has exhausted his potential fully and won’t have any major developments in the future!” Pei Kun said with a cold snort.
Although Ye Yuan was brought by his younger brother, Pei Kun’s current mindset was somewhat disrupted.
He wished that these few people would be eliminated by the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool one by one right away. Only in that way could he find some comfort.
Yang Xiao still had not noticed this after getting back on land. Only hearing Pei Kun say so at this time did he discover that Ye Yuan actually only walked to 70 feet distance and could not even compare to Zhang Tianyi and Han Feng.
“En? What’s happening? Shouldn’t be! This guy is so freakish; how can he possibly only walk to just 70 feet?”
Yang Xiao was quite puzzled as well as he said.
“This fellow probably used some methods which over-drafted potential. Hence, that’s why he can be so freakish at a young age. But the moment he entered this Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, his true form was revealed. In my view, he will just have Boundless Realm cultivation at the maximum in this lifetime,” Pei Kun said.
Yang Xiao’s eye glinted. It was also uncertain what he was thinking about.
Right then, Pei Kun’s expression changed, and he said, “Nalan Hong entered the third level region!”
Yang Xiao was startled inwardly. Looking over, indeed, he saw that Nalan Hong already broke through 210 feet out!
“Haha, the Nalan Family are indeed all freaks! No idea up to where Nalan Chu that fellow can walk to if he came in here,” Yang Xiao said with a laugh.
“Humph! That fool actually gave up the opportunity to enter the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool. Wait until he returns to the family clan, his intestines will probably turn green with regret,” Pei Kun said disdainfully.
“Sigh, it’s indeed quite lamentable for Nalan Chu. I didn’t expect that he just left, and the holy land announced an increase in slots right after. But Nalan Hong could actually enter the third level region. This is impressive!” Yang Xiao felt pity for Nalan Chu too.
But Pei Kun kept his mouth shut. He also did not expect that Nalan Hong actually had such great potential.
Two hours later, Yang Xiao’s mind suddenly jolted.
“En? Ye Yuan entered the second level region!”
The moment he entered the second level region, Ye Yuan suddenly felt the pressure double.
That violent strength tunneled into his body brazenly without any scruples at all, tearing at his body.
But Ye Yuan’s body was long incomparable to the past through the dragon blood’s remolding.
Allowing those violent energies to impact his meridians freely, he still did not move a muscle.
Those energies entering Ye Yuan’s body, a portion was refined by the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and entered the essence energy sea. Another portion was absorbed by his body, strengthening his physical body.
