Wang Baole watched as the world beneath the Blood Moon turned crimson, and the deep pit exuded a crimson hue. Then, he heard the sounds of chains and roars coming from the nine caves around him. Wang Baole's expression turned solemn. At the same time, Chief Steward Xu, whose entire body was shrouded in a thick Evil aura, spoke in a hoarse, ancient voice that contained an inexplicable thirst for blood.
"Little Dragon, why aren't you sitting in the Nine Immortal Pool? Remember, the Baptism will end when you achieve a breakthrough in your Cultivation Base or two hours!"
Wang Baole didn't have any aversion to being called Little Dragon. When he heard this, he immediately voiced his agreement. Although he was a little hesitant, he quickly weighed the pros and cons and leaped into the deep pit. In an instant, he was at the bottom of the pit.
The stench of blood was thicker here, and the ground was dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood all year round.
After quickly sizing things up, Wang Baole didn't say anything. He sat down cross-legged and looked up. The moment he looked up, the sounds of chains and roars coming from the nine caves were the loudest. In the next instant, a gigantic figure charged out from one of the caves!
The figure wasn't a Cultivator, but a gigantic lizard with two heads. The moment it charged out, it lifted its head and roared at the sky. It let out a pained and frenzied roar, as if it wanted to struggle and escape!
However, there was a gigantic chain wrapped around its flesh and blood. No matter how the lizard struggled, it was of no use. It was forcibly bound to the side of the cave and couldn't leave!
Bolts of crimson lightning continuously spread out from the chains, provoking the lizard and causing it to scream even more miserably. The scales on its body were about to stand on end, and at the same time, the fluctuations of a great circle Spirit Immortal erupted uncontrollably. Amidst its pained roars, there was an indescribable ferocity that shook the Heavens.
That wasn't the end. After this lizard, similar existences charged out from the other caves one after another. There were giant dragons, plant life forms, and existences that looked similar to cultivators but were different. They were all bound by chains and roaring under the crimson lightning. Madness and pain seemed to be everything in their lives!
Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Wang Baole's breathing quickened. He already knew the significance of the Nine Immortal Pool. This place … imprisoned nine perfected stage Spirit Immortal realm cultivators. Clearly, they were all powerful cultivators who had been personally captured by the patriarch or Chief Steward Xu and the others when the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect was fighting other civilizations.
They didn't kill them but imprisoned them here as rewards for the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect's disciples!
"Little Little Dragon, it's time." Amidst the mournful roars, Chief Steward Xu's smile became even more sinister in midair. His expression seemed to faintly show some enjoyment. He formed a seal with his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the chains on the nine Spirit Immortals who were bound by chains turned crimson red. More and more lightning bolts were transmitted and directly blasted into the bodies of the nine Spirit Immortals.
In the next instant, the nine Spirit Immortals' screams became even more shrill. As they screamed, their life essence spread out uncontrollably from their bodies. Since they were Spirit Immortals, their life essence was their life force to a certain extent. It was also their cultivation base, and it was their everything.
One could see that these life essence was in the form of mist at the beginning. It spread out from their seven orifices and pores on their bodies and flowed along the surrounding walls and into the bottom of the pit. During this process, due to the constant eruption of pain and tearing, their bodies trembled as fresh blood dripped down drop by drop. This fresh blood … was the source of the deep pit's stench!
This scene was very cruel. It constantly stimulated and drained their life force, draining their everything. Yet, it didn't let them die. It was as though they were being used as tools and Dharma treasures.
Wang Baole fell silent. Finally, he closed his eyes and began to absorb. It wasn't that he was cruel, but he knew very well that his kindness, his principles, and his protection were only for the Federation!
As for the rest, it wasn't within his scope of consideration. This was because he didn't have the ability to do so. Moreover … he was very clear about the cruelty of the cultivation world the moment he stepped into Ethereal Dao College.
This wasn't because of what he had experienced in his youth. Instead, it was because after the ancient greenish-bronze sword flew over and the beginning of the Spirit Inception Era, it was already widely known by the Federation at that time!
After all, at the beginning of the Spirit Inception Era, there had been several beast wars. This made the two generations no stranger to bloodshed and killing.
The path of cultivation was filled with difficulties at every step!
Therefore, even though he was a little moved, Wang Baole's heart was even more … determined not to let such a scene happen in the Federation. Therefore, in terms of absorption, he completely released his body and gave it his all!
He was already at the mid-stage Soul Conduit realm. At this moment, he was like a sponge in the Ninth Spirit's life force essence. He rapidly absorbed everything, and his cultivation level quickly stabilized at the mid-stage Soul Conduit realm from the early to mid-stage.
It wasn't over yet. Wang Baole was still a little dissatisfied with the speed and quantity of his absorption. Therefore, under the cover of his Origin technique, the devouring seed in his body spun slightly.
With this spin, his body immediately became a black hole. In that instant, the mist of life force essence, which had been piling up higher and higher and was about to overflow, was reduced by a layer!
Compared to the total amount, the reduction wasn't particularly large. However, as it continued to decrease, Wang Baole's absorption speed naturally increased significantly under his control.
Just like that, after half an hour, Wang Baole's body trembled violently. His cultivation level instantly rose to the peak of the mid-stage Soul Conduit realm. He was only a step away from breaking through. The reason for this was that this deep pit was specially created by the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. Furthermore, the effect of the chains was to refine the life force essence. Under their stimulation, it could be said that the life force essence emitted by the nine Spirit Immortals was no different from immortal pills!
The only difference was that one had been stored, while the other was extremely fresh.
Therefore, Wang Baole didn't have any obstacles in terms of absorption. However, the devouring seed's absorption speed had increased due to Wang Baole's absorption speed, which more or less attracted Chief Manager Xu's attention. His eyes flashed, and he took a few more glances.
"There are indeed some secrets. However … since that girl Ling You thinks highly of him, forget it." Chief Manager Xu thought for a moment and didn't care about this matter. He allowed Wang Baole to continue absorbing.
Just like that, another half an hour passed. Wang Baole could already feel the critical point of his cultivation level. He knew that he only needed to continue for a short while to break through from the mid-stage Soul Conduit realm to the late-stage Soul Conduit realm.
According to the requirements, as long as he broke through, this baptism would end.
While this speed made him feel fearful, it also made him extremely eager. However, as there were outsiders around, Wang Baole couldn't take out the Thearch Armor to absorb it. It would also be disadvantageous if he did it secretly. Therefore, after much thought, he decided to use this life force to refine his Origin Avatar!
"Anyway, I can't waste it!" When Wang Baole thought of this, he began to secretly try to use the life force to make his Origin Avatar stronger. There were still some effects, but the requirements were great and the process was slow. However, Wang Baole had a feeling that by doing so, his Origin Avatar would become stronger after fusing with his slumbering true body in the future. Therefore, he carefully began to refine his Origin Avatar while feeling nervous.
Soon, Chief Manager Xu noticed the problem. He opened his eyes and looked at Wang Baole with a strange expression. Chief Manager Xu frowned slightly, but when he thought of Fairy Ling You and Long Nanzi's quick-wittedness and sense of propriety along the way, he only coughed and pretended not to see it.
Therefore, when he noticed that Chief Manager Xu did not stop him, Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He increased his absorption. An hour later, when the life force fog in the deep pit was about to be sucked dry, Chief Manager Xu opened his eyes and said faintly.
"Ten more breaths!"
When Wang Baole heard this, he quickly increased his speed. When the tenth breath arrived, he did not suppress his cultivation level. He instantly broke through and stepped into the late-stage Soul Conduit realm!
At the instant he stepped into the late-stage Soul Conduit realm, Wang Baole's body rumbled. An aura that was much stronger than before suddenly erupted. He leaped up and stood in midair. He raised his head and roared. Immediately, the weather changed. The wind and clouds churned as a storm erupted around him.
