The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 166 Cleansing Pool

Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

The fingernails had sunk deep into the palm of the hand.

Bright red blood flowed out from between his fingers.

But at this moment, he seemed completely unaware.

Or rather, the pain brought by the Chaos God Eye was hundreds of times more intense than he had anticipated!

This made him forget about the slight pain in his hand.

The primordial chaos is the origin of heaven and earth; even a trace of it contains terrifying energy.

Even using it to temper the physical body requires extreme care, let alone the incredibly fragile eyeball?

"Refine it for me!"

Lu Xuan let out a low roar and forcibly activated the Chaos Devouring Heaven Scripture.

Continuously guide that wisp of chaotic energy.

It allowed it to travel through the meridians of the eyeball.

With each lap, the burning sensation intensifies.

But at the same time, his eyes were undergoing some kind of mysterious change.

The pupils, which originally appeared a deep blue due to the fusion with the Netherworld Fire, are now slowly beginning to change.

The chilling and eerie atmosphere gradually dissipated, replaced by a weathered, chaotic color that seemed to encompass all things.

And deep within his pupils, the two tiny vortexes were spinning faster and faster.

It seemed as if two ancient runes were appearing and disappearing within it.

"Not enough!"

Lu Xuan realized the existence of a bottleneck.

While pure chaotic energy is powerful, it lacks a trace of spirituality.

"Eye of Netherfire, Merge!"

With a thought, Lu Xuan unhesitatingly sent the origin of the Netherfire Eye he had previously cultivated into the two vortexes.

"boom!"

It's like adding fuel to the fire.

The vortex, which had been slowly rotating, suddenly began to boil.

Enveloped in the chaotic energy, the dark blue flames no longer appeared cold and sinister, but instead gained a sense of holiness.

The two began to merge and recombine rapidly.

A completely new power was being conceived in his eyes.

This process lasted all night.

It wasn't until the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on Lu Xuan, that this happened.

His tightly closed eyes finally opened slowly.

"Buzz!"

Two solid gray beams of light shot out from his eyes and soared into the sky!

Where the beam of light passed, space itself was subtly distorted.

The original dark blue flames in his pupils had completely disappeared.

In its place was a deep, abyss-like chaos.

And in that chaos, a gray lotus flower was slowly blooming.

"Chaotic Divine Eye, First Level, Breaking Illusion!"

Lu Xuan murmured something, and the strange phenomenon in his eyes began to slowly subside.

He raised his head to look at the world outside the window.

Everything that was once familiar had become completely different in his eyes.

The spiritual energy floating in the air, the flow of veins on the leaves in the distance, and even the crawling trail of an ant a hundred meters away can all be clearly seen.

More importantly, he was able to observe things that he had never seen before.

for example----

"Um?

""

Lu Xuan's gaze suddenly stopped in a corner of the room.

That place was originally empty.

However, under the gaze of his Chaos Divine Eye, a faint trace of black aura could be seen flowing within it.

That is————

The formation is fluctuating!

"Is someone spying on me?"

This aura was extremely subtle; if he hadn't cultivated the Chaos Divine Eye, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

It seems that even on this blazing sun peak, it is not absolutely safe.

He didn't alert the enemy, but instead pretended to be nonchalant and withdrew his gaze.

"Since you want to see, then you can see as much as you want."

Lu Xuan stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.

Even without using the Devouring Heaven Sword, his eyes alone are enough to give a Heavenly Origin Realm expert a huge loss!

"Three days have passed."

"It's about time we went to check out that Cleansing Pool."

Lu Xuan pushed open the door and strode out.

Outside the door, Su Qinghuan had been waiting for quite some time.

Today, she wore a light blue dress, which made her look less aloof and more gentle.

Her eyes lit up slightly when she saw Lu Xuan come out.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Lu Xuan seemed a little different today.

The Cleansing Pool is located in the forbidden area behind the Ziyang Sect. It is usually guarded by special disciples and is also covered by a powerful array.

Only those holding a written edict from the sect leader or deputy sect leader are allowed to enter.

When Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan arrived, there were already several people standing there.

Besides the elders in charge of guarding the area, there were several familiar figures.

Dugu Jian, Wang Ba, Liu Han.

Although these three suffered a crushing defeat in the competition, they were still geniuses from their respective peaks and ranked among the top five, so they were naturally entitled to some rewards.

However, they won't get a turn at the Spirit Cleansing Pool.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan arrive, the three of them instantly turned somewhat grim.

Especially Dugu Jian, whose eyes flashed with resentment.

-

If it weren't for Lu Xuan, this opportunity to enter the Spirit Cleansing Pool should have been his!

Back in his year, his skills weren't good enough, so he didn't get the opportunity.

Now, his master wanted to vent his anger, so he made him suppress his cultivation level and participate in the competition.

I thought this was a sure thing, a sure thing.

but----

Liu Han stood to the side, gritting her teeth.

Seeing Su Qinghuan's radiant appearance, the fire of jealousy burned fiercely in his heart.

Lu Xuan walked up to the elder guarding the pavilion and handed over the vice sect leader's edict.

"Lu Xuan of Lieyang Peak and Su Qinghuan of Yaoyue Peak, come to enter the Cleansing Spirit Pool."

The elder guarding the pavilion took the edict, glanced at it, and nodded.

"Go in."

"Remember, the energy within the Cleansing Pool is extremely turbulent; do not be greedy."

"If you feel your body can't take it anymore, come out immediately, otherwise your life will be in danger."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder."

Lu Xuan and Su Qinghuan bowed, and then, amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the three, they walked through the stone door.

As the stone gate slowly closed, all the noise from the outside world was shut out.

What appeared before the two of them was a huge underground cavern.

In the center of the cave, there is a pool of water that is several tens of feet in diameter.

The pool water was milky white, radiating an extremely rich spiritual energy.

A thin layer of mist swirled above the water, obscuring everything from view.

This is the legendary Cleansing Pool!

"Such a rich spiritual energy!"

Su Qinghuan took a deep breath and felt all the pores on her body open up, and the spiritual energy in her body started to circulate automatically.

"It is indeed a good place."

Lu Xuan nodded as well.

The concentration of spiritual energy here is almost a hundred times that of the outside world!

Furthermore, the pool water also contains a certain special kind of power related to rules.

It has the function of cleansing the soul and tempering the body.

"Go down."

Lu Xuan hesitated, then took off his outer robe and jumped into the pool.

"Thump!"

As my body submerged in the water, a warm current instantly enveloped my entire body.

Then, the warm current began to become scalding hot.

It was as if countless ants were gnawing at his flesh.

This is the Cleansing Pool, which is helping him expel impurities from his body!
