Chapter 460: Collective Breakthrough!

As Xiao Yi Xian passed through the spatial passage, she immediately felt a significant increase in pressure around her. Her body sank more than ten meters before gradually stabilizing.

Surveying her surroundings, she noticed that the space enclosed by the barrier wasn’t very large, spanning no more than ten zhang. The crimson energy here was frighteningly viscous, so much so that even moving her arms caused resistance more than ten times stronger than in the upper layers.

Within this dense, blood-red energy floated numerous dark gray specks of light. These specks carried a pungent and searing heat. Upon detecting them, Xiao Yi Xian’s excitement grew.

Below her lay a rugged terrain filled with numerous pits. From these craters, gray smoke continuously rose, laden with concentrated fire poison. Evidently, at the bottom of the blood pool lay a boiling, active volcano.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yi Xian sat cross-legged and formed hand seals to activate her cultivation technique. She made no effort to shield herself, allowing the viscous blood-red energy and gray specks to settle onto her body.

These dark gray specks, feared by most as the fire poison of the blood pool’s depths, began surging into her body unabated.

Over the years, this energy and fire poison had fused together so thoroughly that most people would need to go through great pains to separate them before absorbing the energy. However, with the Terrifying Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian had no need for such precautions.

...

Sizzling sounds echoed faintly as Xiao Yi Xian’s body, tempered through the Nether Poison Flame’s refinement, effortlessly withstood the intense heat. The invading fire poison was immediately directed into her Poison Core, where it was converted into pure energy and channeled into her dantian.

As the first wave of dense blood-red liquid surged into her body, Xiao Yi Xian trembled slightly. Such potent energy would typically take two or three days of effort to absorb under normal circumstances, yet here it was processed in mere moments. No wonder the Gold-Devouring Mouse Clan had gone to such lengths to keep this place hidden. If they had a method to either absorb the energy directly or neutralize the fire poison, their strength would undoubtedly skyrocket.

Guiding the immense influx of energy through her cultivation technique, Xiao Yi Xian sensed her meridians, bones, muscles, and even her cells voraciously devouring the energy. In doing so, her body underwent rapid fortification.

This viscous crimson energy possessed remarkable properties. It was exceptionally absorbable, and its prolonged accumulation seemed to imbue it with a faint vitality. As Xiao Yi Xian absorbed it, she felt her body filled with a vibrant, life-enhancing sensation—an experience both peculiar and profound.

If anyone were present to witness this scene, they would see that Xiao Yi Xian’s entire body had turned crimson. The thick blood-colored energy had permeated every inch of her being, soaking even her skin, which now exhibited heightened flexibility and durability.

Recognizing the unique benefits of this energy, Xiao Yi Xian felt a surge of joy. While it might not drastically boost her combat power, it significantly enhanced her physical strength and resilience, elevating her foundation to a new level.

Disregarding the fire poison entirely, this treasure trove seemed almost tailor-made for her.

Seated motionlessly at the bottom of the blood pool, Xiao Yi Xian gradually lost track of time. In the dark, fiery depths of the crimson pool, everything unfolded quietly amidst the stillness.

Above the blood pool, Nalan Yanran sat cross-legged at a depth of just under 200 meters, absorbing the energy around her.

Given her current cultivation level, along with the assistance of medicinal pills, this depth was her limit. Venturing deeper would expose her to fire poison that could severely damage her body, making it not worth the risk.

Similar to Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran’s body was being tempered by the blood-red energy, gradually improving her physique. The steady influx of energy continued to accumulate until, by midday of the second day, a muffled sound resonated within her body. Around her, the blood-red energy formed a small vortex, voraciously drawing in energy and funneling it into her.

This frenzied absorption lasted several hours. During this process, Nalan Yanran successfully broke through to the Dou Emperor realm, crossing a barrier that most found insurmountable.

With her newfound strength, Nalan Yanran descended another 100 to 200 meters deeper into the blood pool.

Meanwhile, Han Yue and Zi Mojiu also made notable progress during the two-day period, each breaking through a minor cultivation level.

On the third day, Nalan Yanran became the first to exit the blood pool, her body reaching its energy saturation point.

By the fifth day, Han Yue and Zi Mojiu also emerged. Both had advanced two minor levels compared to their strength before entering the pool.

Once all three had exited, they gathered at a small pavilion beside the blood pool to wait.

By the sixth day, most of the energy within the blood pool had dissipated. The remaining three individuals, along with two members of the Gold-Devouring Mouse Clan, also emerged. Although none of them managed to break through to the Dou Ancestor realm, three of them had come extremely close. It seemed likely that they would soon cross the threshold and ascend to become Dou Ancestors.

...

On the seventh day, Jin Shi and Jin Gu approached the pavilion where Nalan Yanran, Han Yue, Xiao Yin, and Zi Mojiu were resting.

“Ladies, the tidal energy has now fully receded. Why hasn’t your friend come out yet? Could something have happened to her?” Jin Shi asked Nalan Yanran and the others, his tone laced with curiosity.

Due to Xiao Yin’s special methods, neither Jin Shi nor Jin Gu was aware of the anomalies within the spatial barrier below.

“She should be out soon,” Nalan Yanran replied casually, brushing off the question.

Seeing the group’s nonchalant demeanor, Jin Shi and Jin Gu grew even more puzzled. In their estimation, Xiao Yi Xian’s strength was similar to their own, meaning the benefits of the blood pool for her shouldn’t have been substantial enough to warrant such a prolonged stay.
