"Hand it over."
When Long Chen reached the main gate, he saw two elderly men. Before Long Chen could speak, one of them spoke coldly.
Long Chen directly handed the identity badge to the old man. The old man took it, took out a formation disk, seemingly verifying some information, then tossed the badge to Long Chen and said, "
Enter the main gate and go to the far left. Choose from the three divine pools according to your strength."
The old man was extremely cold. Before Long Chen could say anything, he already looked impatient. Long Chen couldn't be bothered to ask further, so he took the nameplate and walked toward the main gate.
As Long Chen approached the gate, the nameplate in his hand suddenly trembled, followed by a suction force. A vortex appeared, pulling Long Chen in.
When Long Chen appeared again, immortal mist swirled before his eyes, and nine forks of roads split into them. Following the old man's advice, Long Chen walked along the leftmost path.
After walking for half an incense stick's time, the void kept twisting. Long Chen felt as if he were inside a time-space tunnel. Suddenly, the scenery before his eyes changed, and three divine pools appeared.
The divine pool wasn't large, but within a radius of a thousand zhang, purple spring water churned, and the rising energy actually condensed into flames.
Upon seeing those flames, the purple blood power within Long Chen began to burn uncontrollably, and at the same time, he started to automatically absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
Long Chen swept his divine sense across three divine pools and found that in two of them, eight people were in seclusion, dragon veins flying, using the pool's power to condense the heavenly vein dragon energy.
One of them had already begun condensing the thirteenth strand of Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi. It seemed the Purple Blood Clan was about to gain another Thirteen Dragon Vein-level powerhouse.
However, the leftmost divine pool was empty, and compared to the other two pools, its aura was calmer. For some reason, no one went there.
When Long Chen entered, he immediately caught the attention of those inside the Divine Pool. When they saw his attire, they were slightly surprised—it was the first time they had seen someone wearing such clothing here.
But when they saw the nameplate in Long Chen's hand, they couldn't help but snort coldly. Clearly, none of these eight people were members of the Luo family.
Long Chen ignored them and walked straight toward the empty divine pool. As he did, the eight people's expressions changed slightly, but soon a look of schadenfreude appeared in their eyes.
All their expressions were captured by Long Chen. It seemed this divine pool was indeed strange; otherwise, they wouldn't have looked as if they were waiting to see him laugh.
As Long Chen approached the divine pool, the flow of purple blood power within him reached an extreme speed, and he could even hear the roar of the blood.
"Whoosh"
As Long Chen stepped into the divine pool, it suddenly boiled in an instant. Purple flames instantly enveloped Long Chen, like a fiery beast, swallowing him whole.
"Hahaha...
The eight seemed to be waiting for this scene to unfold. When Long Chen was swallowed by flames, they burst out laughing:
"This idiot doesn't even know this is the Soul Refining Divine Pool. Now he's turned into a roast pig, haha!"
"The Soul Refining Divine Pool follows the path of soul-burning and blood refinement. A person's soul is burned to ashes in half an incense stick's time. How could it possibly condense a dragon vein? This guy doesn't even know?"
"Hmm?"
Just as everyone was mocking Long Chen, they suddenly sensed something was wrong. Logically, if Long Chen had entered the wrong Divine Pool, he would have withdrawn immediately.
Although the flames were terrifying, they weren't fatal; they just left people in a sorry state, injuring their souls. Once they retreated, everything would be fine.
But after Long Chen entered the divine pool, he was engulfed in flames and didn't make a sound. At first, everyone thought he was trying to show off, afraid of embarrassment, so they endured it.
But as several breaths passed, the flames inside the pool burned fiercer, yet Long Chen never withdrew.
"Could it be that he fainted from the heat? I'm afraid he'll be burned alive like this." Someone exclaimed.
"It has nothing to do with us." The others wore cold expressions, all saying it had nothing to do with them. Even if Long Chen died, they wouldn't be involved.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, space trembled, and from the endless flames, a purple dragon soared forth.
"This ..."
At that moment, everyone was stunned, staring at the dragon vein that had just formed, their eyes nearly popping out.
"Buzz buzz buzz... Long
Chen was wrapped in endless purple flames. His soul power was burning, and as the soul power burned, it merged with the flames in the divine pool. At this moment, Long Chen's purple blood was frantically absorbing the pool's power within him.
The Soul Refining Divine Pool is the most unique among the inheritance pools of the Purple Blood lineage. In the Chaos Era, this pool was specially reserved for certain special people to condense dragon veins.
These people's soul power was incredibly profound; their soul power was almost equal to the power of purple blood, and the Soul Refining Divine Pool was prepared just for them.
He refined his soul and the power of purple blood, fusing them to form a brand-new Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi.
However, the current Purple Blood lineage is just a branch that miraculously escaped during the Chaos War, and part of its legacy and history has already been severed.
As a result, for countless years, no one had used this Soul Refining Divine Pool, causing its flames to grow stronger and more inaccessible.
However, the stronger the flame, the better the soul refining effect, and the more powerful the condensed Heavenly Vein Dragon Qi becomes.
When Long Chen's first purple Heavenly Vein dragon energy condensed, even he was shocked. The moment it appeared, it was in its ultimate form, unlike before, when it first formed a prototype, then grew stronger, transitioned from illusory to tangible, and after gaining a physical form, it would strengthen dragon scales, claws, horns, and finally condense the dragon soul will.
But this time was different. There were no complicated steps, and Long Chen didn't even need to do anything. As his soul and bloodline burned, the power of the Divine Pool surged violently into Long Chen's body, directly condensing a complete Purple-Blood Dragon Vein.
"Rumble...
After the first one appeared, the second appeared right after, followed by the third ....
Whenever a purple-blood dragon vein appeared, it caused the divine pool to roar and explode, and its water level dropped rapidly before the naked eye.
At that moment, the eight experts in the nearby Divine Pool were completely stunned. It was the first time they had heard that the water level of the Divine Pool could drop.
"Rumble... Articles
8, 9, and 10 ....
"Boom!"
With a thunderous crash, the entire world trembled—Long Chen's thirteenth stripe of purpleThe blood dragon vein was fully formed, but the divine pool beneath him had completely dried up.
Long Chen looked at his palm, feeling the vast power of purple blood as vast as the sea. He felt as if he were in a dream. The Purple Blood clan could condense their dragon veins so easily. In just over an hour, thirteen dragon veins had already been fully completed.
"This should be enough to heal Grandpa!"
Thinking of this, Long Chen instantly became excited. He activated the nameplate, and his figure instantly vanished, leaving only the eight of them, standing there like fools.
