When Lu Ye and the others arrived at the lotus pond, there were already many Soul Race clansmen gathered here.
The lotus pond was said to be at the center of the Soul Race's ancestral land.
When they arrived, it caused a commotion among the Soul Race clansmen. Countless pairs of eyes looked towards Hu Po with surprise and suspicion. The name of the Holy Beast began to spread among the clansmen, causing many Soul Race clansmen to be shocked and excited.
Li Shang led Lu Ye and the others to a relatively empty spot and waited.
Looking up, Lu Ye saw the lotus pond.
He thought that since it was named a pond, it would be similar to the Soul Pond in Immortal Essence City, but when he saw the lotus pond, he realized he was wrong.
This lotus pond was not a pond at all, but a giant lotus that had not fully bloomed.
Lu Ye had a strange expression. The things in the Soul Race's ancestral land were really interesting, everything seemed to be related to lotuses. This was clearly not because the Soul Race liked it, but because it was a specialty of the ancestral land.
This giant lotus that had not yet bloomed was many times larger than any lotus pond Lu Ye had seen before. And this was still in its unbloomed state. If it bloomed, who knew how big it would be.
At this moment, there were seven or eight figures hovering around this giant lotus, each of them surging with soul power.
These figures were all Rizhao Soul Race clansmen!
Lu Ye only recognized Elder Xu Yuan, he had never seen the others before.
The Soul Race Patriarch was also present, but Hun Que only stood to the side with his hands behind his back, not doing anything else.
It was only when Lu Ye and the others arrived that he sensed something and glanced in their direction.
"I knew it, it's not time for the lotus pond to open yet!" Li Shang glanced over and immediately said.
"It's not time for the lotus pond to open yet?" Lu Ye revealed a confused expression.
Li Shang nodded, "Calculating the time, the lotus pond should open at least two years from now. Looking at the situation, it's clear that the elders are opening the lotus pond early!" She then revealed a confused expression, "But why?"
To the Spiritas, two years was not a long time. This was because the Spiritas had an advantage in terms of lifespan compared to most races in the universe. Opening the lotus pond in advance was not an easy task. The elders present had to put in a lot of effort.
As he spoke, the soul power around the Soul Race's Rizhao became even more ferocious. Someone exclaimed, "The lotus pond is open!"
As the voice rang out, the huge budding lotus flower slowly unfurled its petals. As the petals unfurled, brilliant purples and reds refracted, causing the entire space to become colorful.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the giant lotus finally bloomed. The Sunshine Soul Clan members looked as if they had just fought a great battle. Their expressions were weak, and even the soul power that was surging fiercely around them had become very weak.
Opening the lotus pond in advance was indeed very taxing on them.
"Fortunately, we have accomplished our mission!" The Soul Race elders, led by Xu Yuan, arrived in front of Hun Que and said solemnly.
Hun Que nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Please go back and rest. Leave the rest to me."
Xu Yuan chuckled. "There's no rush. Let's wait and see."
He was really curious as to how the Constellation Realm human was able to trigger the will of the ancestral land. As a human, would he be able to benefit from the lotus pond?
After all, no other race had ever entered the lotus pond. Hence, even the knowledgeable Sunshine Soul Clan members did not know what would happen if a human entered the lotus pond. In short, there was no danger.
Since Xu Yuan thought so, the other Sunshine Soul Clan members naturally thought so too. Hence, the Sunshine Soul Clan members who should have gone back to rest did not leave. They all stayed behind to watch the show!
It was not just the ordinary Soul Clan members who liked to watch the show. The Sunshine Soul Clan members also liked to watch the show … It was mainly because life in the Soul Clan's ancestral land was too boring. Usually, nothing big happened here.
Hun Que did not mind. He shook his soul power slightly and said loudly, "The return of the Sacred Beast is a celebration for my race. Today, the lotus pond will be opened to nourish my race. Those who are qualified to enter the lotus pond, quickly enter. The lotus pond will be open for three days. Whether you can benefit from it will depend on your luck!"
As soon as Hun Que finished speaking, figures immediately flew out from the crowd and entered the lotus pond. Clearly, they were all qualified to enter the lotus pond.
Li Shang revealed a look of understanding. It turned out that the lotus pond was opened in advance because of the return of the Sacred Beast. To the Soul Clan, this was indeed a joyous occasion. It was worth opening the lotus pond in advance to celebrate. As the clansman who brought back the Sacred Beast, of course, he was qualified to enter the lotus pond.
She was filled with excitement and anticipation. "Let's go in too!"
Lu Ye nodded and instructed Yiyi, "Wait for me here."
Yiyi nodded obediently. "Go."
Then, Lu Ye followed Li Shang and flew toward the lotus pond.
He had already asked Li Shang about the lotus pond before, so he naturally knew what he should do.
However, he did not expect to hear a voice at this time. "After entering the lotus pond, connect your mind to the Sacred Lotus. The more colorful the Sacred Lotus is, the higher the quality of the Sacred Lotus. It will be more beneficial for your future cultivation. Choose carefully!"
The voice sounded familiar. It should be Hun Que who was transmitting his voice to him. Lu Ye looked up and saw the Soul Clan leader looking at him.
He nodded slightly to express his gratitude.
He sighed in his heart. The Soul Clan was really good. Elder Xu Yuan allowed him to participate in the competition for the lotus pond, and the Soul Clan leader personally gave him pointers. Although he had already understood the situation from Li Shang, it was still good intentions to give him pointers.
In an instant, Lu Ye and Li Shang entered the lotus pond together.
The main body of the lotus pond was an enormous blooming lotus flower. From afar, it appeared to be a lotus-shaped pond filled with water. However, only upon entering the pond would one realize that the water in the pond was no ordinary water. Instead, it was formed by the condensation of pure soul power.
It was similar to the water of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, but the difference was that one was condensed from Soul Power, while the other was condensed from starry sky energy.
What was even more different was that the water of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea had thick impurities and was extremely corrosive, but the water in the lotus pond did not have these drawbacks.
When Lu Ye entered, he immediately felt that he was wrapped in a gentle force. His entire body was filled with an indescribable comfort, and his mind instantly reached an extremely transparent state. It was as if his Divine Soul had turned into the purest jade in the world, untainted by even a speck of dust.
This was a very strange state. Lu Ye had never experienced it before. He vaguely felt that if a cultivator could cultivate in this state, whether it was comprehending secret techniques or refining spirit jades, their efficiency would be greatly improved.
He instinctively tried to refine the pond water around him and found that he could actually refine and absorb it. The effect was even not inferior to taking a top-grade spirit refining pill!
This could undoubtedly strengthen his Divine Soul!
In this way, even if he did not obtain the Divine Lotus after entering the lotus pond, he would not be left empty-handed. The lotus pond had been open for three days. To be able to cultivate in such a place for three days was a rare experience for any Soul Clan member.
"Let's split up!" Li Shang said.
Lu Ye nodded, and Li Shang immediately rushed in a direction.
To enter the lotus pond, one needed to refine the Divine Lotus, so it was naturally not good to move together. After all, if they really found a good Divine Lotus, who would it belong to? They could not fight first, after all.
After Li Shang left, Lu Ye looked left and right. He did not see the so-called Divine Lotus, but he was not in a hurry.
Although he was very interested in the Divine Lotus, it was said that it was still very difficult to refine the Divine Lotus. It was not easy for even the Soul Clan members to refine the Divine Lotus. Usually, out of 100 Soul Clan members who entered the lotus pond, it was not bad if 10 of them could refine the Divine Lotus.
He was a human. Although he had obtained the right to enter the lotus pond, he was not sure if he could refine the Divine Lotus.
At this moment, he was very interested in the pond water that enveloped him.
Ordinary Soul Clan members who entered this place would be busy searching for the Divine Lotus and probably would not have the time to refine the pond water here, but he could!
The Talent Tree itself had a powerful devouring effect. It could even devour and refine the seawater of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, let alone the water of the lotus pond here.
He had given all the top-grade spirit refining pills he had brought from the Three World Island to Yiyi. The effect of refining the pond water here was no different from taking a top-grade spirit refining pill. Naturally, he could not miss this opportunity.
He immediately activated the Talent Tree's power. His body seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit as he devoured and refined the pond water hungrily.
Lu Ye was happy because he realized that the Talent Tree's reaction was very small. When he refined the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea's seawater, the Talent Tree looked like it was burning trash. Black smoke rose into the sky. However, when he refined the pond water here, there were no traces of impurities being burned.
In other words, this kind of refining did not consume the Talent Tree's fuel at all!
Moreover, he only needed to maintain the Talent Tree's power. It did not take much effort.
The Talent Tree's power was activated, and it continued to refine and devour the water of the lotus pond. Lu Ye could clearly feel the power of his Divine Soul slowly strengthening.
Only then did he leisurely walk in a certain direction.
Above the lotus pond, many Sunshine Clan members of the Soul Clan were gathered. Hun Que was the leader, and there were seven or eight elders. They were all observing the situation below with interest.
With their strength, they could naturally see everything that was happening in the lotus pond.
When Lu Ye activated the Talent Tree's power to devour and refine the pond water, the Sunshine Clan members could not help but twitch their eyes.
Xu Yuan frowned and said, "What kind of technique is this?"
It was understandable that the Soul Clan members who entered the lotus pond could refine the pond water to improve themselves. Since Lu Ye was allowed to enter, he could naturally do the same.
Anyway, the water in the lotus pond was huge. Even if some constellations entered and refined and absorbed the water, they would not consume much of it.
However, when Lu Ye made his move, the Sunshine Clan members of the Soul Clan felt that something was wrong. This refining speed … seemed to be abnormal!
The key was that they did not understand how Lu Ye was doing it. Even if they were Sunshine Clan members who entered the lotus pond to cultivate, the efficiency would probably only be so. This was unbelievable.
