Chapter 5739 - Soul Refining Divine Pool
"Give it here."
As Dragon Dust approached the gate, he saw two old men. Before he could say anything, one of the old men coldly spoke.
Dragon Dust handed over his identity medallion to the old man. The old man took the medallion, retrieved a formation disc, and seemed to be verifying some information. After a while, he tossed the medallion back to Dragon Dust, saying, "Enter the gate, go to the far left, there are three divine pools. Choose one based on your strength."
The old man was extremely indifferent, and Dragon Dust didn't bother to ask further. He took the medallion and walked towards the gate.
As he approached the gate, the medallion in his hand trembled, and a suction force pulled him into a vortex. When Dragon Dust appeared again, he was surrounded by mist, and there were nine paths branching out in front of him. Following the old man's advice, he took the far left path.
After walking for half an incense stick's worth of time, the void kept distorting, and Dragon Dust felt like he was traversing a temporal tunnel. Suddenly, the scenery changed, and he found himself in front of three divine pools.
The divine pools weren't large, about a thousand zhang in diameter each. The purple water in the pools churned and emitted a misty aura, which condensed into flames.
Upon seeing the flames, the power of Dragon Dust's purple blood within him started burning uncontrollably. Simultaneously, it began to automatically absorb the energy between heaven and earth.
Dragon Dust's consciousness swept over the three divine pools. He noticed that in two of the pools, there were eight individuals in seclusion, harnessing the power of the pools to condense their heavenly vein dragon qi. One of them was already condensing the thirteenth strand of dragon qi. It seemed that the Purple Blood Clan was about to gain another thirteenth dragon vein level expert.
However, the leftmost pool was empty, and its fluctuations were milder compared to the other two. Dragon Dust wondered why no one was in that pool.
Upon Dragon Dust's arrival, he immediately drew the attention of the people in the divine pools. When they saw his attire, they were slightly surprised. It was the first time they had seen someone dressed like him here.
But when they saw the medallion in Dragon Dust's hand, they coldly snorted. Apparently, none of these eight individuals were from the Luo family.
Ignoring their reactions, Dragon Dust went directly towards the empty pool. As he did, the eight individuals exchanged glances and their expressions subtly changed. However, their eyes soon revealed a sense of schadenfreude.
Dragon Dust took notice of all their expressions. It seemed that this particular divine pool indeed had something strange about it. Otherwise, they wouldn't be looking at him with the expectation of witnessing a joke.
As Dragon Dust neared the divine pool, the flow of his purple blood within his body accelerated to the extreme. He could even hear the roaring sound of blood coursing through his veins.
"Whoosh."
As Dragon Dust stepped into the divine pool with one foot, the pool suddenly boiled in an instant. Purple flames engulfed Dragon Dust, resembling a ferocious fire beast that devoured him.
"Hahaha..."
The eight individuals seemed to be waiting for this scene to happen. When Dragon Dust was swallowed by the flames, they burst into laughter:
"This fool actually doesn't know this is the Soul Refining Divine Pool. Now he's become a roasted pig, haha!"
"The Soul Refining Divine Pool follows the path of burning the soul and refining the blood. Half an incense stick's worth of time and a person's soul will be completely incinerated. How can he condense dragon veins? This guy doesn't even know?"
"Hmm?"
Just as everyone was ridiculing Dragon Dust, they suddenly realized that something was wrong. Normally, if Dragon Dust had entered the wrong pool, he should have exited immediately.
Although the flames were terrifying, they weren't lethal. They would only leave a person in a sorry state, with injuries to the soul. Exiting the pool would solve the issue.
However, after Dragon Dust entered the pool and was engulfed by the flames, he remained silent. Initially, they thought he was trying to save face and enduring the discomfort. But several breaths' time passed, and the flames in the divine pool grew more intense, yet Dragon Dust still hadn't emerged.
"Could he have fainted from the heat? If so, he might be burned to death alive." Someone exclaimed in shock.
"It has nothing to do with us." Others remained indifferent, showing that they were coldly detached from the situation. Even if Dragon Dust died, it wouldn't affect them.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, space trembled. Within the boundless flames, a purple giant dragon ascended.
"This..."
At that moment, these people were dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out as they gazed at the newly formed dragon vein.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
Dragon Dust was enveloped by endless purple flames. His soul power was burning, and as his soul power burned, it blended with the flames in the pool. During this process, the purple blood within Dragon Dust's body wildly absorbed the pool's energy.
The Soul Refining Divine Pool was the most unique among the inherited divine pools of the Purple Blood Clan. During the chaotic era, this divine pool was specifically used to help certain individuals condense dragon veins.
Their soul power was extremely profound, nearly equal to their purple blood power. The Soul Refining Divine Pool was specifically prepared for them. It allowed them to refine and fuse their souls and purple blood power to create a completely new dragon vein energy.
However, the present Purple Blood Clan was merely a branch that had survived the chaos, and a significant portion of their lineage and history had been lost. This caused the Soul Refining Divine Pool to remain unused for countless years. As a result, the flames in the pool grew stronger over time, making it impossible to approach.
Paradoxically, the stronger the flames became, the more effective the soul refining process was, resulting in the creation of even more powerful dragon vein energy.
When Dragon Dust condensed his first purple dragon vein energy, he was astonished. This dragon vein emerged in its ultimate form right away. Unlike the previous process where the dragon vein formed gradually from a nascent state, growing stronger step by step, this time it was different. There were no intricate steps required. With the combustion of soul and blood, the pool's power violently infused into Dragon Dust's body, instantly forming a fully developed purple blood dragon vein.
"Boom boom boom..."
After the first dragon vein emerged, the second followed, and then the third...
Each time a purple blood dragon vein appeared, the divine pool resounded with explosive roars. The water level in the pool visibly dropped at a rapid pace.
At that moment, the eight experts beside the other divine pools were thoroughly stunned. It was the first time they had ever heard of a divine pool's water level decreasing.
"Boom boom boom..."
Eighth, ninth, tenth...
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the entire world trembled. Dragon Dust's thirteenth purple blood dragon vein had completed its formation, while the divine pool beneath him had dried up entirely.
Dragon Dust gazed at his palms, feeling the vast and boundless power of the purple blood. He felt as if he were in a dream. The Purple Blood Clan's dragon vein condensation process had proven to be so straightforward. In just over an hour, thirteen dragon veins had been perfected.
"This should be enough to heal Grandfather!" The thought filled Dragon Dust with excitement. He activated the identity plate, and his figure vanished instantly, leaving the eight people behind, standing there like fools.
