After consuming the Immortal Fruit, Shen Luzong was no longer in a half-dead state as he was now full of vitality, wanting to immediately hunt and kill several powerful beasts.

Sun Xiang followed him out of the valley, originally intending to bring Shen Tianhu along but realized that he needed a powerhouse to keep watch within the village to deal with large flying birds.

Looking for the blood pool was something very important to Shen Luzong because it could rapidly cultivate a large number of powerhouses. He suspected that this was what the tomb guardians should have obtained here.

"Grandfather, are those blood pools being taken over by the beasts" Sun Xiang asked.

"It's possible, but don't worry. Those beasts will eventually end up in our bellies!" After saying that, Shen Luzong recalled something and continued, "The reason we gained a lot of strength from those beasts was possibly because they ate the blood in the blood pools."

As Shen Xiang and Shen Luzong flew through the air, they were very close to the ground.

Most of the ground was covered by dense forests formed by trees towering to great heights. Whenever they saw a beast, Shen Luzong would strike with his palm from the sky and kill the ground beasts. Although the beasts were powerful, they were just trash compared to him as a divine king.

Shen Luzong regained his vitality from his youth, so Sun Xiang didn't have to fight—he was the one handling most of the beast killings.

Along the way, Sun Xiang noticed that Shen Luzong had some decent martial arts. After asking him about it, he realized that they were the ones obtained.

”Those massive mountains have engravings of qi cultivation diagrams and oral instructions, but they're not suitable for you to cultivate because once you do, you won't be able to leave this place. You have to stay here guarding the graves after learning their martial arts. Only I know about this, don't tell Tianhu; otherwise, they won't want to learn it and try to find a way out. But now there's no going back anyway.”

Shen Luzong’s words surprised Sun Xiang—he was restricted in his abilities just by learning those martial arts. He had originally wanted to check them out but gave up after hearing this.

While they were chatting casually, Sun Xiang realized something astonishing. After Dragon Snowyi estimated for him, he found out that five years had passed within the blood pool while only one year outside. He now understood why Shen Luzong could become a divine king so quickly.

However, he also learned that the time within the space where mortal world had vanished was even more terrifying compared to outside.

“When I found out the blood pool back then, my tribulation was Eight Immortal Purgation. Back then, I was being chased by a massive beast for days and had no other choice but to jump into the blood pool. After I rested in it, my body hurt so much that when I woke up, the tribulation had already come for me. The blood in the pool was almost dry, and I spent the not-so-intense tribulation in a daze.” Shen Luzong said.

Wanting to find the blood pool, Sun Xiang also wanted to try if there was room for improvement in his body. If he could enhance his strength through the blood pool, he wouldn't need to waste time on making a lot of medicinal pills, and could quickly ascend.

After more than ten days, Sun Xiang and Shen Luzong couldn't find the blood pool outside. Along the way, he enjoyed eating many delicious ancient beast meats and gave Dragon Snowyi lots of them.

With Shen Luzong by his side, Sun Xiang didn't have to fight—he could secretly gather some Creation God Liquids. He wanted to make more Immortal Fruit for Shen Luzong and other spirit medicines.

Shen Luzon and Sun Xiang didn't fly through the sky but walked inside the forest. Although it was slow, they could search more comprehensively while Shen Luzon could tell if there were blood pools nearby with his sense of smell.

They didn't find the blood pool, but they did find some spirit medicines. Most of them were on the spiritual level, but they were still very good as it meant that there was plenty of spirit medicines in this place. There might also be soil-grade or heavenly-grade ones.

“Grandfather, if I use this blood pool on myself, will my strength improve” Sun Xiang asked.

"Of course it does. I'm called the Blood Pool, but there isn't actual blood inside—it's a kind of red qi. I'm not sure what it is, but in short, it can give you a sudden surge of power," Shen Luzon said as he put the tiger beast into his storage treasure and continued to rapidly move forward.

Originally, there weren't many storage treasures here but Sun Xiang brought a lot. So Shen Luzon would kill all of them upon seeing them.

Days passed, and they couldn't find the blood pool. Sun Xiang was disappointed until Dragon Snowyi shouted, “I sense it!”

“There's a blood pool nearby!” Shen Luzon said excitedly. It must have been taken over by the beast, I'll go and kill it.

Shen Luzon disappeared as a wind into the distance. Afterward, they heard tremors coming from that direction and saw scattered tree fragments accompanied by gusts of wind. Beast roars continued, but they didn't last long.

“Boy, come here quickly!” Shen Luzon shouted.

Sun Xiang rushed to him and saw a giant red pool of water. Although the surroundings were in ruins, it was intact as the blood pool had a powerful array protecting it.

“This blood pool isn't destroyed, and its size is the same as before,” Shen Luzon said.

The circular blood pool was ten feet wide, filled with water that resembled fresh blood, emitting a violent energy aura. It looked very dangerous. If not for knowing that the blood pool could improve his strength, Sun Xiang wouldn't have thought of diving into it.

“Do you want to try I'll wait for you beside. And as expected, there should be many of these blood pools here. Many beasts become powerful because of them. That beast earlier was very strong, so I had to spend a little more time,” Shen Luzon laughed.

Sun Xiang nodded: "I'll go down!"

After saying that, he jumped into the blood pool. He originally planned to experience the process of improvement and the strangeness of the blood pool, but he passed out after diving in.

When he opened his eyes again, the glaring sunlight was before him and his body hurt immensely.

“What happened Where's my grandpa” Sun Xiang shouted as he jumped out of the dried blood pool.

“You passed through Eight Immortal Purgation!” Dragon Snowyi said in surprise: “But there was no tribulation descending.”

At that moment, Sun Xiang indeed had an air of supremacy as only those who passed the Eight Immortal Purgation possessed it—clearly a characteristic of passing through the tribulation. He inspected his dantian, seeing five beast statues inside it. Each had eight sky pills, and the ninth one was still in the middle of its formation.

“The improvement is terrifying!" Sun Xiang exclaimed: "How long did I sleep"

“Three months!" Dragon Snowyi said. "It's completely absurd, this should be the gift from the tomb owner to those guarding the tomb. I’ve observed this blood pool; it’s connected to some kind of power. Although it's dry now, red qi will still come again in the future, and you can quickly improve by soaking yourself!" Someone else said with laughter, but couldn't laugh.It was still in the South, but if you needed to cross a region, the distance would truly be frightening."Young people, take advantage of your yout...
