Chapter 332: Chapter 219: Strength Greatly Increases in the Spirit Cleansing Pool! Gathering of Geniuses at the True Martial Ancient Hall!_2
The same two keys floated in the Void.
Jiang Shu had not expected that Chu Guang’s Storage Bag would contain such a surprise.
But then again, as one of the top figures in a high-ranking Dynasty, he knew more secrets. Obtaining the keys was not strange.
Following what Xue Xuan said, by refining the bronze key, Jiang Shu could clearly feel a strong directional guidance. When this guidance grew increasingly intense and a bright light burst between heaven and earth, that would be the moment when the Bronze Ancient Hall appeared.
"Indeed, Brother Jiang, you too are a man of great destiny, having quietly taken possession of the key to enter the True Martial Ancient Hall,"
Unable to help shaking his head, Xue Xuan looked somewhat bemused. He had never imagined that the big favor he had intended to offer was somewhat worthless now.
"It was just a fortunate coincidence. However, Brother Xue, now that we have two keys, why don’t you consider entering together? We Martial Artists of the Detachment Realm can recover from ordinary injuries at the fastest speed. What’s slow to recover is actually the spiritual power."
"So, as long as we can find a place to quickly restore spiritual power, that will do."
Jiang Shu felt the guidance of the bronze key again, and his thoughts became increasingly clear.
Chu Guang was trapped in a life-or-death situation at the time. The credibility of his words was extremely high. The location of the Spirit Cleansing Pool should be true.
The reason I hadn’t found it was that I didn’t know the exact location. But now, the guidance of the True Martial Ancient Hall undoubtedly proves that the Spirit Cleansing Pool is unlikely to exist near it. I just need to search in another area.
"Recover spiritual power, how could that be easy?"
Xue Xuan, of course, did not know Jiang Shu’s thoughts. He shook his head, swallowing Elixirs. Right now, I only want to recover from my injuries and accumulate some more points. After entering the True Martial Sect, I plan to cultivate steadily, step by step.
Fortune has nothing to do with me anymore.
"Not easy? Is the Spirit Cleansing Pool not enough? Wait for it!"
Without waiting for Xue Xuan to react, Jiang Shu did not hide anymore. He instantly displayed the Ancient Forbidden Technique, Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings. With a flap of the massive wings, he soared into the sky.
He had not displayed it before because he did not want to attract strong enemies by being too ostentatious.
But now, the truly powerful geniuses are probably all waiting for the opening of the True Martial Ancient Hall. The vicinity of the True Martial Ancient Hall is actually a rather vacant area.
The speed of the Thunder Peng Netherworld Wings was incredibly fast. Jiang Shu turned into streaks of light, flying in the sky with the sound of thunder in the distance.
His eyes continuously took in everything below, and the moment he noticed a suspicious place, he immediately went down to check.
During this, he even killed several flying Mutant Beast phantoms, earning over a dozen points.
Soon, Jiang Shu found a certain forested mountain.
Mist entwined around the lush forest, where dense trees blocked out the sun.
After some searching, he finally discovered a small pond inside a cave.
Without lingering, he turned back, brought the bewildered Xue Xuan with him, and both plunged into the Spirit Cleansing Pool.
"How about that, was I not right?"
The icy sensation stimulated the acupoints and then directly entered the brain. Energy formed into tides, washing over their spiritual power again and again. Jiang Shu could not help but let out a sound of comfort. His spiritual power had not fully recovered from the consecutive battles.
Entering the Spirit Cleansing Pool, he felt thoroughly relieved.
It’s just a pity this Spirit Cleansing Pool has already been used by Chu Guang; who knows how much energy was wasted.
"Brother Jiang..."
Opening his eyes and looking at Jiang Shu next to him, Xue Xuan did not know what to say.
I thought I had been constantly overestimating Jiang Shu, yet I hadn’t realized that what I saw was just the tip of the iceberg. An Ancient Forbidden Technique for flight! Slaying Chu Guang, a genius from a high-ranking Dynasty! If I hadn’t been such a drag, Brother Jiang alone could have probably killed Ruan Lei and Ruan Yan, those twin brothers. Was such a genius truly born in our Da Jing Dynasty?
Even as the energy of the Spirit Cleansing Pool restored Xue Xuan’s spiritual power time and again, heightening his focus, he still found Jiang Shu’s experiences to be incredible.
After all, Jiang Shu has come a long way, relying very little on the Da Jing Dynasty. Without the support of the court, without the support of the noble families, what he relies on is probably just this Martial Arts Talent, which even the geniuses of high-ranking Dynasties can’t surpass. I just don’t know, Brother Jiang, how far you can go after entering the Sect...
Taking a deep breath, Xue Xuan stopped thinking further. Despite having a myriad of questions, he knew that right now, both Jiang Shu and he needed to recover as quickly as possible.
The Spirit Cleansing Pool was an opportunity in the past. Now, it’s merely an appetizer. We both have to enter the True Martial Ancient Hall!
As the time for the True Martial Ancient Hall to open drew nearer, geniuses turned into streaks of light, rushing over quickly.
Ruan Lei and his twin brother Ruan Yan were such, standing in the corner, exchanging thoughts through spiritual power.
"Brother, those two really got lucky!"
Even after two days, I still can’t accept it! Once we brothers made progress in our Martial Arts cultivation, it was always us robbing others, never others robbing us. Now, we’ve actually been beaten by some unknown nobody from a middle-tier Dynasty, forced to leave behind two Treasures and two Storage Bags! That’s enough resources to support a noble family! What a disgrace!
"The Treasure Patterns on those two Treasures were activated, and they won’t be easy to restore. Having hardness alone is useless. As for those Storage Bags, they’re just some Elixirs. Xue Xuan and that Jiang fellow, the points accumulated on their Jade Tokens, are definitely enough to enter the True Martial Sect."
"But without the opportunity of the True Martial Ancient Hall, once they leave the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield, they can only start as servant disciples, wasting time on tedious tasks. But we are different. Once we come out of the True Martial Ancient Hall, our strength will surge. Not only will we have attracted the attention of the elders outside, but upon entering the True Martial Sect, we will be courted by other servant disciples."
"We can completely assign some tasks to them and focus on cultivating more quickly, reaching the Furnace Fire Realm sooner to become Outer Disciples."
"By then, finding an opportunity to get rid of Xue Xuan and that Jiang will be a piece of cake."
Ruan Lei’s voice carried a cold snort, his eyes flashing with resentment. From the moment he left, he had thought of how to get his revenge.
I simply don’t believe that those two, who won’t get the opportunities of the True Martial Ancient Hall, can progress faster on the path of Martial Arts than we can!
"What’s most important for us now is to enhance our strength in the True Martial Ancient Hall. It’s just a pity that we also come from a middle-tier Dynasty. If we were geniuses from a top-tier Dynasty, we would certainly know some secrets of the True Martial Ancient Hall."
The gap between Dynasties is not just in the strength of geniuses. It is also in unequal access to information.
In the same True Martial Ancient Hall, top-tier Dynasties have had geniuses who entered in the past, so messages would be passed back. But those from middle-tier Dynasties have only heard rumors. As for low-tier Dynasties, some don’t even know such opportunities exist.
The vast majority of geniuses from low-tier Dynasties participating in the Hundred Dynasties Battle are basically just there to make up the numbers.
"Mm, I’ll listen to you, brother. Brother, look, isn’t that Yang Zhao from the top-tier Dynasty, the Dragon Marrow Dynasty? It’s said that before the Hundred Dynasties Battle, he had already reached the Late Stage of the Detachment Realm. Maybe by the time he walks out of the Hundred Dynasties Battlefield, he will have the chance to sprint to the Furnace Fire Realm."
"He won’t even have to serve as a servant disciple for a day!"
"That’s the caliber of a top-tier genius. But we brothers, if we grasp the opportunity of this True Martial Ancient Hall, also have a chance to directly advance to the Late Stage of the Detachment Realm. When the time comes, we’ll enter together and try not to separate."
The brothers exchanged covert spiritual communications, as more and more geniuses gathered, some interacting with each other, and others waiting in the corners.
Finally, an hour later, in the center of the field, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth.
Following that, in the Void, a Bronze Great Hall faintly appeared.
At this critical juncture, two streaks of light broke through the sky.
Voices ceased, and figures touched down.
It was none other than Jiang Shu and Xue Xuan!
