Beside the Soul Cleansing Pool in the City Lord Mansion, the City Lord of Immortal Essence City stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the Soul Cleansing Pool quietly. His deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the heavy fog and look into the depths of the Soul Cleansing Pool.
Butcher was standing not far behind him.
Previously, he had brought Lu Ye here and placed him in the Soul Cleansing Pool. Since then, he had not left. Although Lu Ye's body had not completely dissipated when he brought him here, he was still a little worried.
There were Immortal Essence Guardians reporting the situation of the various battlefields in the city …
Now, the invading Insect Clan in the city had basically been annihilated. This war had once again ended with Immortal Essence City's victory.
It had been like this for thousands of years …
What Lu Ye did not know was that the spirit bodies of Immortal Essence City were almost immortal and indestructible. They had left their Divine Soul imprints in the Soul Cleansing Pool, so even if they died outside, they could be resurrected with the power of the Soul Cleansing Pool.
This was also the reason why Butcher and the others could be resurrected from the dead.
The Soul Cleansing Pool was the foundation of Immortal Essence City.
If the Insect Clan wanted to capture Immortal Essence City, there was only one way.
That was to destroy Immortal Essence City's defensive power with absolute military strength, capture the City Lord Mansion, and destroy the Soul Cleansing Pool!
Otherwise, no matter how many Insect Clan members there were and how strong they were, they would not be able to capture Immortal Essence City. Every time the Insect Clan invaded in history, the process was shockingly similar.
In the beginning, Immortal Essence City was always at a disadvantage because there were too many Insect Clan members. There were also many powerful Insect Clan members. However, the Insect Clan members were killed, but the cultivators of Immortal Essence City could continuously come out of the Soul Cleansing Pool and rejoin the battlefield.
Under this situation, the threat of the Insect Clan would gradually be eliminated, and Immortal Essence City would be able to win.
This war had gone on for about half a month. The time when Lu Ye entered was when the war was at its most intense.
Now, the war was about to end, and the huge gap in the sky had disappeared at some point.
The Immortal Essence Guardian left after reporting the situation.
Butcher was bored from waiting, so he asked, "City Lord, is this kid really … the chosen one?"
Although he had muttered a few words in front of Liu Datong, Yu Qing, and the others, that was only because he had heard the City Lord mention it.
The City Lord was still looking at the bottom of the Soul Pool and said, "When he came in last time, three of the Four Symbols had gathered. This time, all of them have gathered. Moreover, he seems to have a powerful spiritual tattooist inheritance, which allows him to display some spiritual tattoos at will. If he is not the chosen one, I can't imagine how high the requirements for the chosen ones would be." Speaking of this, he changed the topic, "However, he should only be one of the chosen ones."
"There are other people who were chosen?" Butcher frowned.
The City Lord said, "You won't put all your eggs in one basket, especially for that kind of existence. Over the past few thousand years, there should have been many people who were chosen … We have lived in Immortal Origin City for a long time, so we don't know anything about the outside world. Naturally, we don't know what happened to those who were chosen. But from the current situation, none of those who were chosen have really succeeded."
Butcher nodded. If someone really succeeded, then they wouldn't have to stay here and guard the Immortal Essence City. They would also gain complete freedom.
"However, there will be a result in the end. There is not much time left." The City Lord sighed.
The last time he saw Lu Ye, he had said the same thing, but that was just him talking to himself, and no one heard it.
Butcher's expression was dignified, "Sir, how much time do you think we have left?"
"Who knows …" The City Lord shook his head slowly, "Presumably, you have also felt that the number of insects attacking the city has been increasing over the years. Correspondingly, the power of the Soul Pool has been decreasing year by year. Perhaps after a few decades, the power of the insects will be so strong that we can't resist it. Or perhaps after a few years, the Soul Pool will dry up and we will lose our immortal body. No matter what happens, Immortal Origin City will fall. At that time, Nine Regions will perish! "
Butcher's eyebrows were heavy.
As the cultivators of Immortal Origin City, they had been guarding here for thousands of years. These Divine Sea Realm cultivators knew more secrets than the Divine Sea Realm cultivators of Nine Regions.
The safety of Immortal Origin City was not only related to Immortal Origin City, but also related to the entire Nine Regions.
Perhaps the cultivators of Nine Regions never knew that in such a place, there were many spirits that had been fighting against the insects for thousands of years and guarding the safety of Nine Regions.
Even if someone told them this at this moment, no one would believe it. After all, this kind of fact was somewhat ridiculous.
As for the increasing number of insects mentioned by the City Lord, it must be that the insect nest had been able to devour the power of the outside world. This was not a good phenomenon. If the connection between the insect nest and the outside world was strong to a certain extent, then the originally imperfect protection would inevitably have a bigger loophole. At that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
And the Soul Pool …
Although the energy in the Soul Pool was extremely huge, in the past thousands of years, the spirits of Immortal Origin City had been constantly resurrected, which was also consuming the power of the Soul Pool. One day, the power of the Soul Pool would be exhausted. At that time, the spirits of Immortal Origin City would lose their immortal and indestructible characteristics.
Various signs indicated that time was indeed running out. This world needed someone who could turn the tide, but whether or not those chosen could pass the final test was something that no one knew.
After thousands of years of waiting, there was no result. Who could expect a miracle?
For a moment, Butcher's heart was sad.
"That brat woke up!" the City Lord suddenly said.
"Is there any serious problem?" Butcher quickly asked.
"He just consumed a lot of his divine soul power. What serious problem can there be? Sure enough, this brat has started to do bad things again! "The City Lord suddenly gnashed his teeth.
Butcher suddenly asked, "He's stealing Soul Water?"
In the entire Nine Regions, Soul Cleansing Water could only be produced in the Soul Pool. Previously, when Lu Ye gave him half a bottle of Soul Cleansing Water, Butcher knew that the Soul Water came from the Soul Pool.
"Humph!" The City Lord coldly snorted and turned to look at Butcher. "You tell me what to do! He's not from Immortal Essence City. Logically speaking, he can't enter the Soul Pool. Last time, in order to help you get out of trouble, I made an exception for him. This time, you said that he was included in your team, so I let him enter the Soul Pool to recuperate. Now, he actually did such a shameless thing. Tell me, should I slap him to death or slap him to death? "
Butcher sneered. "He did help complete our team's mission. After we were all annihilated, he fought to the point of exhaustion. There's no problem for him to be an extra member."
Previously, when Butcher brought Lu Ye back, the City Lord was really surprised because he didn't expect Lu Ye to enter Immortal Essence City at this time.
Then, he learned from Butcher how Lu Ye entered Immortal Essence City.
This was also the reason why the City Lord concluded that Lu Ye was the chosen one.
If he wasn't the chosen one, how could he enter Immortal Essence City in such a way? Moreover, the timing was so clever. It was when the insect race attacked the city!
If he entered at any other time, the entire Immortal Essence City would be dead silent. All the spiritual bodies were sleeping in the Soul Pool, and Lu Ye wouldn't be able to get any benefits.
However, because he entered at such a clever time, although he fought to the point of exhaustion, he still managed to get many benefits.
However, as the City Lord said, Lu Ye wasn't a cultivator of Immortal Essence City. Logically speaking, he couldn't enter the Soul Pool. It was Butcher who made the decision to include him in his team as an extra member. This made the City Lord give him a way out and let him enter the Soul Pool to recuperate.
However, Butcher didn't expect that after Lu Ye woke up, the first thing he did was to steal chickens and dogs …
This made him feel awkward.
Butcher stammered and said, "Sir, if you really want to kill him, then kill him!"
The City Lord snorted. "You think I don't know how to?"
Butcher laughed. "Sir, since you think he's the chosen one, why not give him a chance? Maybe he can really make it to the end. Doesn't Blind often talk about karma? If we plant a seed today, maybe we can reap the fruit in the future. "
He was sure that the City Lord wouldn't really kill Lu Ye. Even the City Lord himself had the same idea. Otherwise, he would have stopped Lu Ye the moment he noticed that Lu Ye was stealing the Soul Water. Why would he talk nonsense with him here?
Before he became a spiritual body, although he was a butcher in the city, he was also a clever person. How could he not see through the City Lord's thoughts?
"Besides, he's just one person. Even if he steals some Soul Water, it won't reduce the foundation of the Soul Pool too much. It shouldn't be a big problem … right?"
The City Lord stared at the Soul Cleansing Pool, the corners of his eyes twitching. "If you knew his methods, you wouldn't say that!"
When ordinary cultivators entered the Soul Pool, even if they had the means to condense Soul Water, their gains would be limited. However, what did that brat do? He actually made a huge funnel. Endless soul fog poured into it and quickly condensed into Soul Water.
He even saw Lu Ye make a water sack and place it under the huge funnel. He looked like he was going to fill it up!
This was too much!
Even a Divine Ocean Realm cultivator like the City Lord, who had lived for thousands of years, couldn't help but panic.
If he really did that, the foundation of the Soul Pool would definitely be reduced. The Soul Pool couldn't last for many years. Once its foundation was reduced, it would only last for a shorter time!
Butcher thought for a moment and said, "But we can't let him get the Soul Water for free. He should have gained a lot of battle merits from killing the insectoids. Sir, we can let him consume the corresponding amount of Soul Water."
The City Lord was hesitating whether to stop Lu Ye. Hearing Butcher's words, he nodded and said, "Good idea!" Then he asked worriedly, "How many battle merits did he get this time?"
"I'm not sure, but it should be at least tens of thousands."
Lu Ye had killed so many insectoids, so he should have tens of thousands of battle merits.
However, what Butcher didn't know was that Lu Ye had more than tens of thousands of battle merits. He had more than 300,000 battle merits!
