Chapter 198 Sword Washing Pool

"If you cultivate diligently, you should be able to reach the Golden Core stage soon."

Lu Ruikai praised, his admiration evident in his eyes.

"It's all thanks to my master's excellent teaching; I just got lucky and broke through."

Yu Changsheng nodded and said softly, following behind Lu Ruikai. He bowed respectfully and smiled slightly at Shen Xingchen, nodding as well.

Logically speaking, Shen Xingchen's entry time and cultivation level were better than Yu Changsheng's, and he was also a disciple of the peak master. Therefore, Yu Changsheng should have greeted him.

However, Yu Changsheng thought again that he was, after all, Wei Lao's disciple, and in terms of seniority, he was far superior to Shen Xingchen. Perhaps Wei Lao should call him Grandmaster, and there was no need to be overly respectful.

As for Lu Ruikai, it was out of the respect that must be shown to the strong.

However, although Lu Ruikai knew all this, Shen Xingchen was unaware of it. He was slightly taken aback and smiled at Yu Changsheng with a deep look in his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"You've come at the perfect time. Xingchen is also going to the Sword Washing Pool to forge his sword today. You two can look after each other and keep each other company."

Lu Ruikai was unaware of Yu Changsheng's ulterior motives and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Changsheng, for being able to part with the Dragon Roar Sword and give it to Xingchen. I couldn't find a suitable sword for Xingchen right now, one that has the potential to grow and is very suitable for her."

Lu Ruikai said calmly, glancing back at Shen Xingchen with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. Senior Brother Shen also gave me many treasures, which greatly helped me break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Yu Changsheng responded respectfully.

"Yes, you have three hours. Once the time is up, you will be teleported out naturally. Cherish this opportunity, it's very rare. If you feel unwell or reach your limit, send me a voice message immediately. Don't force yourself to push yourself, lest you damage your foundation."

Before long, led by Lu Ruikai, the three of them passed through layers of restrictions and arrived at the center of the palace complex, where a pool covering an area of ​​about 30 square meters came into view.

The pool water was silvery-white, and even from a distance, one could feel the sharp sword energy swirling above it, which was quite astonishing.

In the void, the sound of swords echoed continuously, creating countless ripples. Around the pool, there were ninety-nine swords, each one upside down and planted on the bank.

In the center of the pool, a giant sword was stuck, its entire body silver-white and shimmering with light. Sharp sword energy emanated from it, stirring up the surrounding void. Just by getting close, even with Yu Changsheng's Foundation Establishment body, he felt a stinging pain on his skin.

However, Yu Changsheng could still bear this pain. Looking back at Shen Xingchen, the latter's expression was normal, completely unaffected by the raging sword energy around him.

However, the Dragon Roar Sword on its back trembled and roared incessantly, as if it were shaking and excited, with a blood-red dragon shadow appearing and disappearing from the tip of the sword.

It's clear that after Shen Xingchen reforged the Dragon Roar Sword, it completely submitted to him, and its quality was upgraded to a spiritual treasure, reaching a higher level.

"Alright, you two get used to it and then go in. Remember what I said, hold on for as long as you can, but don't push yourself too hard. And don't touch that giant sword stuck in the middle, otherwise, with your cultivation levels, at best you'll lose all your cultivation and be seriously injured and on the verge of death, at worst your souls will be scattered and you won't be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

After giving them a few more instructions, Lu Ruikai glanced at the two of them, then turned and left without saying anything more.

Yu Changsheng and Shen Xingchen exchanged a smile. Shen Xingchen said softly, "You must keep Master's words in mind. As the sacred ground of our Myriad Manifestations Sect, the Sword Washing Pool is not usually open to the public."

"Only when the sword energy within is fully accumulated will a few spots be released. It is not only a sacred place for sword forging for us sword-wielding people, but also an excellent place to temper the physical body. However, one must not be greedy, as there are dangers involved."

"The Xuan Tian Giant Sword in the center of the Sword Washing Pool is one of the foundations of my Myriad Manifestations Sect. It cannot be touched lightly, otherwise the sword energy it unleashes can kill us in an instant."

Shen Xingchen pointed to the giant sword in the center of the Sword Washing Pool and explained.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Yu Changsheng nodded and, without pausing, took a deep breath with Shen Xingchen to adjust to the surrounding environment before slowly and tentatively stepping into the pool.

A chilling sensation instantly spread from the top of Yu Changsheng's head throughout his entire body. It was a chill that disregarded cultivation level, and in just a moment, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but shiver.

Also erupting was the boundless sword energy spreading throughout the pool, seemingly having found its target, rushing one by one towards Yu Changsheng's body and surface.

A slight stinging sensation appeared in Yu Changsheng's sea of ​​consciousness. Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and he activated the Thousand Mountains Technique. The pool water stirred, and a phantom of qi and blood covered Yu Changsheng's body surface, slowly solidifying.

Meanwhile, within the Qi Sea, the illusory image of the second spiritual platform began to slowly condense and materialize, and the cultivation level began to slowly increase.

"Huh, this place can actually improve my cultivation level. What a great place."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Yu Changsheng's face lit up with joy, though he was slightly surprised.

He could clearly feel that his body was being constantly battered in the Sword Washing Pool. The Thousand Mountains Technique seemed to be stimulated as well, operating more smoothly and continuously increasing the strength of his body.

Even his cultivation level was slowly advancing towards the second level of Foundation Establishment, and in just a moment, it was enough to withstand his many days of hard work.

On the other hand, Shen Xingchen took off the Dragon Roar Sword from his body and slowly placed it into the Sword Washing Pool. After the pool water completely submerged it, the Dragon Roar Sword rang out clearly, and the blood dragon phantom on the sword became more obvious and active. The sound of the dragon's roar and the sound of the sword echoed each other, as if they were enjoying themselves.

After doing all this, Shen Xingchen slowly put her fingers into the pool water to test it. Then, a few bodies away from Yu Changsheng, she submerged half of her body, baring her chest and back, and faced Yu Changsheng honestly.

The pool water reached above Shen Xingchen's back. Shen Xingchen snorted coldly, her brows furrowed slightly, and her body trembled briefly before she quickly recovered. She smiled at Yu Changsheng and said:

"Junior brother's physical body is indeed strong and resilient, which I really envy."

Yu Changsheng gave Shen Xingchen a deep look, nodded and smiled, "It's all just a coincidence. Senior Brother Shen's physical body is not bad either."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Shen, on the successful advancement of the Dragon Roar Sword."

He could tell that Shen Xingchen's physical strength was probably not much different from his own, about the same as everyone else's.

Shen Xingchen chuckled, his brows furrowing slightly. He didn't continue the conversation, but turned to look at the Xuan Tian Giant Sword in the center of the pool. His gaze was deep and focused, a vague and indescribable expression swirling within it.
