Chapter 809: Deity Race

Unexpectedly, Kong Yuan had more than a hundred and fifty Heavenly Sage Laws behind him. His cultivation was also higher than Xiao Chen’s. However, the thickness of his Heavenly Sage Laws was not comparable to Xiao Chen’s.

Before Xiao Chen answered, majestic, resonant, sagely music rang out suddenly. A faint golden light descended from the sky.

A golden warship bathed in a sagely light appeared before everyone. It gave off a very bright radiance as dazzling as the sun.

“The Deity Race is here!”

Now that the Deity Race had arrived, the door of light would open soon. Obviously, Kong Yuan would not be able to fight with Xiao Chen.

This also suited Xiao Chen’s intentions. With the five races gathered here, the strong geniuses of the other races were probably keeping their strengths hidden as well.

If Xiao Chen fought with Kong Yuan, he would end up exposing some trump cards, which would be to his disadvantage in such a situation.

With a flash, Xiao Chen returned to the human group. Between leaving the queue and returning, he obtained fifty thousand Black Astral Coins. He managed to earn a lot and cause trouble for the Golden Lion Race’s Tu Ze, making him lose both face and wealth.

Surely, Kong Yuan did not intend to pay the Black Astral Coins for free.

A golden light flashed, and a group of white-haired Deity Race youths wearing golden armor appeared behind the Deity Race Martial Emperor.

The headcount for the Deity Race actually came to fifteen youths, half again as many as each of the other Races.

The five Martial Emperors on the stone platform opened their eyes at the same time and exchanged glances. Then, they slowly stood up.

The white-haired Deity Race Martial Emperor glanced at the other four and said, “Since everyone is here, we shall begin the unsealing. You will enter the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring and will be sent out automatically after four hours.”

The five Martial Emperors each took out a Holy Seal and constructed a rainbow road to the door of light.

Seals on the door of light slowly came undone at a visible rate. Every time a layer of seals deactivated, the door of light dimmed.

The process of opening the door of light was extremely slow like falling down a bottomless hole.

The demonic geniuses of the various races all started to get excited despite themselves. Even the ever-calm Ghost Race youths revealed fervent gazes.

The Heavenly Dew Divine Spring opened only once every ten thousand years. As long as one did not die, one would definitely become a Martial Emperor within a hundred years.

Anyone who said they were not excited would be lying.

After a hundred layers of seals were released, the door of light flickered and disappeared.

“Whoosh!”

A golden light flickered, and the fifteen Deity Race youths rushed in ahead of everyone else. Those of the other races all cursed and quickly followed, unwilling to fall behind.

Now, a dense white spiritual fog clouded everyone’s vision. When the youths took a breath in, their spirits immediately felt refreshed; even their vision seemed sharper.

Within this spiritual fog, the surroundings were indistinct. The youths could only move to a higher elevation based on their senses. After traveling one kilometer, the spiritual fog slowly dispersed.

The group kept walking until a five-hundred-meter-wide golden pool of water appeared before them. The Deity Race youths, who had rushed ahead, had already jumped into it.

The Deity Race youths had spread out in a wide semicircle with a man and girl, who appeared to be of a higher status than the rest, floating in the center.

“This is the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. As long as one soaks in it, one will be able to wash his marrow and blood, increasing their talent, and will be able to advance to Martial Emperor within a hundred years.”

Several people sighed and leaped down.

However, Xiao Chen remained rather calm. It would definitely be impossible to become a Martial Emperor just by soaking in this Heavenly Dew Divine Spring without doing anything.

Even if one managed to advance to Martial Emperor, one might not be able to attain Sovereign Martial Emperor. In this age of geniuses, if one’s target was only becoming a Martial Emperor, then one would be setting their sights too low.

The sound of gushing water resounded, and Xiao Chen jumped in as well. Then he quietly floated in the area that the humans occupied.

At first, he did not feel anything; it was like soaking in an ordinary spring. Then he closed his eyes and started observing the spring with his Spiritual Sense.

After that, he discovered motes of light that were almost invisible to the naked eye. These motes did not move into the cultivator’s body on their own initiative.

The cultivator had to circulate their Cultivation Technique before they could absorb the motes. Looking into the distance, Xiao Chen could see that the Deity Race youths had already discovered this secret.

The motes of light formed countless ribbons of light and quickly flowed into the Deity Race youths’ bodies.

The ribbons of light around the Deity Race pair in the center of the semicircle were the most attention-grabbing. They seemed visible to the naked eye. Inside the spring, light ribbons quickly poured into the two’s bodies.

Some people absorbed the motes of light very quickly, and some very slowly. After observing for a moment, he more or less understood the mystery within.

The speed of absorption probably had something to do with the cultivator’s Cultivation Technique. The two in the middle were obviously of higher statuses; their Cultivation Techniques were definitely better than those of the rest.

Out of the Fiend Race’s group, the Peacock Sovereign’s grandson, Kong Yuan, also clearly absorbed these motes of light faster than the other Fiend Race youths. The light that flowed into him looked extremely dazzling.
