Chapter 1431: Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool

After being silent for a moment, the Mistress of Saint Lady Temple stood up to take her leave. “Since we are unable to make contact with Fan Capital, we can only assume the capital has been surrounded by the army, and they were not able to send a distress signal. I should also form a team to gather intelligence. If there is truly a crisis in the Fan Capital, I think both the Saint Capital and Sheng Capital will need to provide assistance.”

Wang Clan Master added, “I agree. If we are to provide assistance, it will be necessary for us to gather some intel first, if we are going in blind. If not, it will be easy to fall into a trap, and be ambushed by the God Realm Great Army.”

The three distinguished leaders agreed that they would start by sending troops to gather information.

The two leaders of the temples left one after the other. As the Mistress of Saint Lady Temple got up, she cast a knowing glance at Xueying. This made Xueying feel uncomfortable, and a flush appeared on her face.

After sending them off, an anxious expression appeared on Wang Clan Master’s face. “Can I ask you, my little friend, how is my son?” he said tentatively.

Su Yu had freed Wang Qingchen from the dimension. “His life is not in danger, but as for his injuries, I’m afraid there is nothing I can do to help,” he replied.

When Wang Clan Master took Wang Qingchen’s pulse, his anxious expression began to ease. It seemed that he was not bothered about the Power of Red Dust. With some relief, he turned to Su Yu and made a slight bow with his hands clasped together. “My son is indebted to you. I have nothing to pay you back for your great kindness, but perhaps you will consider training together with my son in the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool?”

Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool? Su Yu was a little taken aback, as the ancient books had not mentioned that the Wang Clan had this thing.

Standing to the side, Xueying looked on with an expression of surprise and envy.

Xueying was jealous, and that showed that she was not qualified to enter the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool, even with her real identity.

“The Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool is a sacred place for cultivation, that was built with the Chu Clan’s help in the past. The pool is filled with otherworldly divine fire. It can burn off the impurities in the mind, and it has an unparalleled effect on the power of perception,” Wang Clan Master explained reassuringly.

In this world, as long as they knew about the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool, who would not choose to train and cultivate there?

The Master of Saint Temple and Mistress of Saint Lady Temple had previously requested to give the Saint and Saint Lady a chance to train in the pool.

But the divine fire was limited, and only a palm-sized amount was accumulated each year. There was only a chance to refine it every ten years, and so consequently Wang Clan Master would be reluctant to waste the opportunity on an outsider.

As for Su Yu, firstly, he had saved Wang Qingchen, so this would be a way to repay him. Secondly, Su Yu was extremely powerful, and since there would be turbulent times ahead, due to the invasion of the God Realm Great Army, it would be best to get him on good terms wherever possible.

Su Yu was excited, because he had devoured many souls, and so his mind was full of impurities.

If the divine fire really did have such a wonderful effect, it would be a great help to him.

“Thank you, Wang Clan Master!” Su Yu said sincerely.

Wang Clan Master looked at Xueying. He thought for a moment and said, “You can train together as well.”

Of course, he recognized exactly who Xueying was. He wondered why Saint Lady had thought it necessary to disguise herself as a man to travel with Su Yu? Moreover, the Mistress of Saint Lady Temple seemed to acknowledge it too. Could it be that their wedding was coming soon, and their relationship had already been affirmed?

If that was the case, she should be given a chance.

Xueying was overjoyed and exclaimed in a shrill voice, “Thank you, Wang Clan Master!”

She had not expected the Wang Clan Master would give her a chance. This was the otherworldly divine fire that most people could only dream of!

She had been trained in the path of sorcery for many years and had improved swiftly. She had also employed some extreme methods that had placed her under excessive pressure to help her grow. Although it could not be seen on the outside, it had a significant effect on her mind. There was a chance that she would not be able to break through the shackles and become a Level Two wizard.

It would be a great help if she could have the aid of the otherworldly divine fire!

Xueying sneaked a peek at Su Yu. She understood that Wang Clan Master had given her a chance because of Su Yu, and she couldn’t help but secretly rejoice.

But what she did not understand was why Cailin hadn’t been given the opportunity, since she was Su Yu’s companion too.

However, Cailin was not too disappointed. She did not have any problems when it came to her soul, so whether she got the chance or not, it would make no difference to her.

“Prepare yourselves. You will enter the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool in three days, and by then, I will personally lead all of you there.”

Arrangements were made for Su Yu and his companions to rest in the Wang mansion’s superior guest rooms.

Without saying another word, Su Yu went into isolation. He took out the three-hundred Chinese foot tall cannon.

Su Yu’s eyes sparkled with a hint of joy, as he examined the large cannon that looked vaguely familiar.

In an auction that year, a damaged small-sized Superior-Extermination Cannon was sold for an exorbitant price of a few million divine coins.

If so, wouldn’t this Superior-Extermination Cannon, that was newly-built, bigger in size, and was ten times more powerful, be worth hundreds of millions?

Even if it was worth so much, there would be no market for it, as no one would sell it.

After all, it was an awesome weapon that would be able to blast and destroy a Level Three martial artist. No one would want such a threat to be in the hands of others, which could turn around to become a threat to themselves.

“It’s not likely that the Heaven-defying Empire would hide such an awesome weapon of the ancient civilization.” Su Yu suddenly became serious. It seemed the history of each empire was more complicated than he had thought.

“What about the Empire of Darkness? Had they also hidden such weapons?” Su Yu considered this for a moment and suddenly remembered that when he was in General Shangguan’s mansion, he had sensed a terrifying aura of destruction there. Could those have been the weapons of an ancient civilization also?

General Shangguan controlled the Empire of Darkness’s military forces, so it would not be surprising that he had such weapons in his possession.

“What is happening in the Empire of Darkness I wonder? The Xue Nation in the northern region has rebelled and allied with the Heaven-defying Empire. The Mermaid Tribe in the southern region has also rebelled, so the whole nation is in shock, and there is no news at all now,” Su Yu reflected as he whispered to himself. “But, there is a hidden ancestor who is likely to have reached level one. Yongye Qiumo should have no fear if he is only left with one imperial city to destroy!”

Su Yu felt chills all over his body, after thinking about Yongye Qiumo. He was undoubtedly the most dangerous person in the Ancient God Realm and the Lost Nations!

If he had a mind to, he had the power to influence any state of affairs in the continent.

Fortunately, he was busy refining the Dragon Pearl, an endeavor he would be reluctant to give up. If he really came back from the mountains!

Su Yu shuddered at the thought of it.

As Su Yu did a thorough check on the Superior-Extermination Cannon, he found signs of improvements to its design.

The refinements were immensely profound and did not appear to be any ordinary techniques.

“Well, how would such a precious item be so easily obtained by an outsider?” Su Yu smiled. With the Milky Way Star Sand revolving in his palm, he pressed it onto the Superior-Extermination Cannon.

At that moment, a thread of near milky-white colored liquid was slowly drawn out.

The liquid contained an extremely powerful force, and there was a burst of reverse intention.

Capable even, of resisting the Milky Way Star Sand.

But with an absolute power gap, the extraction was successful.

Su Yu placed it in the container and exclaimed, “Milky white in color… and full of reverse intention… Could this be the divine blood of Nitian Guyun, the Emperor of Heaven-defying Empire?

The divine blood of Level Three status was a greyish-white in color.

And, the divine blood of Level Two status was milky-white.

The divine blood of the emperor of an empire? Su Yu was a little excited. After thinking for a moment, he took out the other three Superior-Extermination Cannon and extracted all the divine blood inside.

He had four drops of divine blood in total!

Su Yu chuckled to himself, “The divine blood of a level two deity! Even if it is dead matter, the power is boundless. So, it would definitely be a useful item, if used well!” Su Yu was happy that he had got his hands on some good treasures again.

Four Superior-Extermination Cannon, and four drops of divine blood from the Emperor of Heaven-defying Empire!

The isolation session went on for three days and three nights.

The Wang Clan Master arrived to invite them to the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool, as scheduled.

He was accompanied by another person, Wang Qingchen!

In just three days, the Power of Red Dust and Power of Asura was eliminated from his body, and his injuries had completely recovered.

Su Yu was impressed and asked himself, “So where did the Power of Red Dust come from? And how was it eliminated?”

“Brother Su, I can’t thank you enough and owe you a great debt of gratitude. Do not hesitate to let me know if you need my help in the future. Be it to climb a mountain of knives, or to plunge into a sea of fire, with just one word from Brother Su, I, Wang Qingchen, will not hesitate to grant your request.”

Su Yu laughed and said, “climbing a mountain of knives, or plunging into a sea of fire? The Wang Clan Master first needs to be willing to let you do it!”

The Wang Clan Master laughed out loud and said, “What is there not to be willing about? I am sending my son into a sea of fire right now!”

A moment later, they came to a restricted area of the Wang Mansion, it was a heavily guarded main hall. There was a statue of the Wizard Ancestor containing space energy, which was similar to the idol statues of the tribes.

Under the guidance of Wang Clan Master, they made use of the transportation function of the statue and descended to an unknown depth underground.

The place was scorching hot, both for the body and also for the soul.

They came across a small pool with a circumference of thirty Chinese feet with strange purple-grey flames burning on its surface.

The mouth of the spring was clearly visible to the eye at the bottom of the pool, and red, magma-like, liquid was slowly flowing out of it.

Wang Qingchen pointed to it and said, “It’s not exactly eye-catching but this is the rumored Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool. Only a tiny amount is accumulated every ten years but it will just enough for the three of us.”

Su Yu looked at the small opening and said, “Was that where the Heavenly Fire came from?”

Wang Qingchen nodded, “That’s right! The entire ground that you are looking at now, was where an extraterrestrial meteorite struck and shattered one year. The pool was dug and built on top of the meteorite, and that is the source of the Heavenly Fire.”

“Since that’s the case, why not expand the mouth of the spring?” Su Yu queried.

Wang Qingchen smiled bitterly and said, “Do you think we don’t want to? In order to get even this small opening, we had to ask for help from the Chu Clan, to use their Demon Subduing Drum, and we could only manage an opening the size of an eye of a needle. But that’s all we could get, and we couldn’t open it up any further. This meteorite is sturdy beyond imagination.”

Su Yu stroked his chin. He took out the Golden Flame Forbidden Wood Sword and took a slice at the meteorite.

Not a single mark appeared on the surface of the meteorite, and instead, only a faint scratch was left on the tip of the Golden Flame Forbidden Wood Sword.

“It is indeed hard and sturdy!” said Su Yu, secretly surprised. No wonder there was only an opening that was as big as an eye of a needle.

“Alright, let’s get in,” Wang Qingcheng said. He looked at Su Yu, then glanced over at Xueying. “The Heavenly Fire in the pool will damage your clothes, so I suggest that you remove them first.”

“What?” Xueying blushed and went silent.

Su Yu cast a weird look and asked, “Is there anything wrong?”

Wang Qingchen looked at Xueying quizzically, and murmured, “I almost forgot they are a couple. It would obviously be inappropriate in the presence of an outsider.”

“Oh, it’s alright! There is a special seal here, which will split the pool in half, in case of such a situation.” He stepped onto the Wizard Tribe’s symbol on the floor.

A thick curtain of light immediately appeared in the middle of the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pool. It separated the pool into half and created two independent spaces.

Wang Qingchen chose one of the spaces and stepped in. He turned around and smiled at them with a glint in his eye, “Oh, I won’t disturb the two of you, but would you two please try and behave yourselves?”

“What on earth is going on?” Su Yu said to himself, not knowing how to react. He looked at the remaining independent area, turned towards Xueying, and said, “Do you want to be with him, or with me?”

Xueying blushed. Was there any other option available?
