787 Meeting the Patriarch! (2/2)
”My dear Xu You, you purposely pointed out the flaws of this treasure to bring out the extraordinary refinement technique within this Divine Justice Shield, didn't you. At the same time, you're reminding me that there is a possibility of mass-producing this treasure. That brat Ling You must have asked you for a favor again.”
When he heard that, Wang Baole's heart beat a little faster, and he looked at Chief Minister Xu. He still had his head lowered, and his expression was normal as he spoke to the Sovereign Patriarch respectfully.
”You are wise, Patriarch.”
Hearing that, the Sovereign Patriarch laughed again and asked somewhat casually, ”What did that child Ling You suggest?”
”She suggested that Long Nanzi trade this Divine Justice Shield refinement technique for the right to form an army. I have rejected this and ask for you to give Long Nanzi a chance to be baptized in the Nine Immortal Pool.” Chief Minister Xu's tone didn't change. He maintained his normal eeriness as he replied coldly.
”The right to form an army…” The Sovereign Patriarch narrowed his eyes and stood up after thinking. He took a step forward, and his silhouette immediately stepped into the void. A light as bright as the sun spread across the entire palace, and his silhouette also disappeared completely. Only his voice spread slowly through the surroundings.
”Approved. I'm also giving Long Nanzi a chance to be baptized in the Nine Immortal Pool!”
Hearing that, Wang Baole's breathing quickened, and he loudly said, ”Thank you, Patriarch. I,Long Nanzi, will never forget your kindness!”
He understood that bootlicking words shouldn't be overused. Especially when expressing gratitude, the fewer words, the better. One might give off a sense of fakeness if they used too many words. So, he only used around ten words this time.
In reality, this was indeed the case. When the Sovereign Patriarch, who could still sense all coordinates with his consciousness despite having already left, heard Wang Baole's never-before-seen concise expression of gratitude, he was surprised. At the same time, he also had a deeper impression of Wang Baole.
Even Chief Minister Xu also raised his head to take a deep look at Wang Baole. As he looked towards him, Wang Baole also faced him and bowed deeply.
”Thank you, Senior Xu!”
Chief Minister Xu only nodded his head, not speaking anymore. He gestured for Wang Baole to follow him and flew towards the restricted area at the back of the mountain after stepping out of the palace. Wang Baole had never been to that place. As he looked down, he could see mountain ranges and fog circulating around them. Towards the end, because the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect existed in another space, the sky looked weird. It was sunny just a moment ago, but after entering the restricted area behind the mountain, the sky immediately became dark, and the moon appeared!
However… this moon was blood red and caused the surrounding atmosphere to become weird. As the fog became thicker, it also covered Wang Baole's line of sight, making him feel as though he had lost his bearings. This continued until a crater appeared in front of him!
The crater seemed to have been blasted open forcefully by someone. While its surrounding walls were rough, there were many caves surrounding them—a total of nine. The stench of blood also spread from within the crater towards the surroundings. This stench was quite weird. As Wang Baole neared and smelled the stench, his cultivation became restless.
While this made his eyes shrink and his soul tremble, Chief Minister Xu, who was in front of him, stopped in mid-air above the crater. He lowered his head to look below, and an eerie smile appeared on his face. Under the light of the blood moon in the sky, he seemed to exude even more eeriness.
”Young lad, this is the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect's Nine Immortal Pool. You have one chance to achieve a breakthrough in your cultivation. Make good use of it.”
As he spoke, Chief Minister Xu raised his right hand and pointed at the sky. As he pointed, sounds of rumbling thunder boomed from the heavens, and the earth trembled. At that moment, the blood moon in the sky also unleashed a piercing blood glint more powerful than before. The blood glint instantly engulfed the entire restricted area, causing it to become a sea of blood!
At the same time… from the nine caves of the crater's cliff walls, the sounds of metal chains being pulled and waves of growls of pain that didn't seem human could be heard coming nearer!
