Chapter 809: Deity Race

Unexpectedly, Kong Yuan had more than a hundred and fifty Heavenly Sage Laws behind him. His cultivation was also higher than Xiao Chen’s. However, the thickness of his Heavenly Sage Laws was not comparable to Xiao Chen’s.

Before Xiao Chen answered, majestic, resonant, sagely music rang out suddenly. A faint golden light descended from the sky.

A golden warship bathed in a sagely light appeared before everyone. It gave off a very bright radiance as dazzling as the sun.

“The Deity Race is here!”

Now that the Deity Race had arrived, the door of light would open soon. Obviously, Kong Yuan would not be able to fight with Xiao Chen.

This also suited Xiao Chen’s intentions. With the five races gathered here, the strong geniuses of the other races were probably keeping their strengths hidden as well.

If Xiao Chen fought with Kong Yuan, he would end up exposing some trump cards, which would be to his disadvantage in such a situation.

With a flash, Xiao Chen returned to the human group. Between leaving the queue and returning, he obtained fifty thousand Black Astral Coins. He managed to earn a lot and cause trouble for the Golden Lion Race’s Tu Ze, making him lose both face and wealth.

Surely, Kong Yuan did not intend to pay the Black Astral Coins for free.

A golden light flashed, and a group of white-haired Deity Race youths wearing golden armor appeared behind the Deity Race Martial Emperor.

The headcount for the Deity Race actually came to fifteen youths, half again as many as each of the other Races.

The five Martial Emperors on the stone platform opened their eyes at the same time and exchanged glances. Then, they slowly stood up.

The white-haired Deity Race Martial Emperor glanced at the other four and said, “Since everyone is here, we shall begin the unsealing. You will enter the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring and will be sent out automatically after four hours.”

The five Martial Emperors each took out a Holy Seal and constructed a rainbow road to the door of light.

Seals on the door of light slowly came undone at a visible rate. Every time a layer of seals deactivated, the door of light dimmed.

The process of opening the door of light was extremely slow like falling down a bottomless hole.

The demonic geniuses of the various races all started to get excited despite themselves. Even the ever-calm Ghost Race youths revealed fervent gazes.

The Heavenly Dew Divine Spring opened only once every ten thousand years. As long as one did not die, one would definitely become a Martial Emperor within a hundred years.

Anyone who said they were not excited would be lying.

After a hundred layers of seals were released, the door of light flickered and disappeared.

“Whoosh!”

A golden light flickered, and the fifteen Deity Race youths rushed in ahead of everyone else. Those of the other races all cursed and quickly followed, unwilling to fall behind.

Now, a dense white spiritual fog clouded everyone’s vision. When the youths took a breath in, their spirits immediately felt refreshed; even their vision seemed sharper.

Within this spiritual fog, the surroundings were indistinct. The youths could only move to a higher elevation based on their senses. After traveling one kilometer, the spiritual fog slowly dispersed.

The group kept walking until a five-hundred-meter-wide golden pool of water appeared before them. The Deity Race youths, who had rushed ahead, had already jumped into it.

The Deity Race youths had spread out in a wide semicircle with a man and girl, who appeared to be of a higher status than the rest, floating in the center.

“This is the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. As long as one soaks in it, one will be able to wash his marrow and blood, increasing their talent, and will be able to advance to Martial Emperor within a hundred years.”

Several people sighed and leaped down.

However, Xiao Chen remained rather calm. It would definitely be impossible to become a Martial Emperor just by soaking in this Heavenly Dew Divine Spring without doing anything.

Even if one managed to advance to Martial Emperor, one might not be able to attain Sovereign Martial Emperor. In this age of geniuses, if one’s target was only becoming a Martial Emperor, then one would be setting their sights too low.

The sound of gushing water resounded, and Xiao Chen jumped in as well. Then he quietly floated in the area that the humans occupied.

At first, he did not feel anything; it was like soaking in an ordinary spring. Then he closed his eyes and started observing the spring with his Spiritual Sense.

After that, he discovered motes of light that were almost invisible to the naked eye. These motes did not move into the cultivator’s body on their own initiative.

The cultivator had to circulate their Cultivation Technique before they could absorb the motes. Looking into the distance, Xiao Chen could see that the Deity Race youths had already discovered this secret.

The motes of light formed countless ribbons of light and quickly flowed into the Deity Race youths’ bodies.

The ribbons of light around the Deity Race pair in the center of the semicircle were the most attention-grabbing. They seemed visible to the naked eye. Inside the spring, light ribbons quickly poured into the two’s bodies.

Some people absorbed the motes of light very quickly, and some very slowly. After observing for a moment, he more or less understood the mystery within.

The speed of absorption probably had something to do with the cultivator’s Cultivation Technique. The two in the middle were obviously of higher statuses; their Cultivation Techniques were definitely better than those of the rest.

Out of the Fiend Race’s group, the Peacock Sovereign’s grandson, Kong Yuan, also clearly absorbed these motes of light faster than the other Fiend Race youths. The light that flowed into him looked extremely dazzling.

Even after understanding the secrets, Xiao Chen did not rush into absorbing these motes of light. He continued to send his Spiritual Sense deeper, curious about what was at the bottom of the spring.

Finally, after his Spiritual Sense descended for a kilometer, a mysterious force devoured it, not leaving any behind.

This development startled Xiao Chen as this was the first time he encountered such a strange thing. His Spiritual Sense could be blocked by barriers or destroyed by powerful energies.

However, he had never had his Spiritual Sense devoured before. If this thing could devour even Spiritual Sense, what could it not devour?

Xiao Chen decided to test this thing further. He casually took out an Astral Coin and dropped it. In the end, after it sank a kilometer, it was devoured into nothing as well.

The other people in the spring were anxiously absorbing the motes of light. They were not like Xiao Chen, who was leisurely testing things out. So no one else discovered this secret.

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen stopped thinking about this. Then he sat cross-legged within the water, exposing only his upper body, and started to circulate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to absorb the motes of light.

“Hu chi!”

The moment the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation started circulating, the wandering motes of light in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring quickly gathered, forming dazzling strips of light that swam towards Xiao Chen.

Each strip of light was as thick as a baby’s arm. The dazzling radiance was even brighter than that of the two Deity Race experts.

When the motes of light entered Xiao Chen’s body, he gave off a faint glow, standing out from the large group of people.

Even the two Deity Race youths in the middle of the semicircle only had a slight gleam coming from the surface of their skin. However, Xiao Chen’s entire body shone.

It was difficult for such a strange occurrence not to attract the attention of others. All the surrounding cultivators looked over, feeling very shocked.

“What exactly is the grade and rank of this fellow’s Cultivation Technique?”

The two Deity Race youths in the middle also looked over, clearly feeling suspicious.

Xiao Chen had his eyes closed. He did not notice the strange events happening to himself. He only joyfully enjoyed the changes that came with the motes of light entering his body.

Such a change did not immediately reflect in Xiao Chen’s cultivation but at an even deeper level.

His mind became clearer. He slowly gained some headway in several questions that bedeviled him. He unraveled several difficult questions about the martial path even without the guidance of a master.

This change was Xiao Chen’s comprehension ability growing stronger. Furthermore, this was not just a temporary increase but a permanent one.

Xiao Chen’s aptitude slowly changed as well. He could sense his capacity for absorbing Spiritual Energy increasing simultaneously.

Generally, talent referred to both comprehension ability and aptitude. The former helped with the rapid understanding of all sorts of Martial Techniques, even to the point of creating them.

The latter aided the cultivation speed. If two cultivators both cultivated Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques, the one with a better aptitude could be several times faster, garnering results in one day equal to several days’ effort of the one with a weaker aptitude.

Xiao Chen’s comprehension ability was not bad; in fact, it could be called high. However, his aptitude was a little weaker. His cultivation speed always seemed to be behind those demonic geniuses’.

However, after this, that would change.

Xiao Chen could not contain his joy, increasing the speed at which he circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. The number of motes of light in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring that he attracted multiplied significantly.

When the others saw such a scene, they started cursing in their hearts. Then, they closed their eyes and desperately did their best to absorb more motes of light.

This was especially so for the Deity Race pair. Unexpectedly, their bodies started glowing as well, just slightly less than Xiao Chen’s.

Now, the place turned silent. Everyone focused on absorbing the motes of light in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. They all wanted to use this limited amount of time to raise their aptitude and comprehension ability.

No one noticed that the mysterious swordsman Duan Yi quietly opened his eyes and revealed a smile. After he looked around, his body sank into the spring.

Duan Yi sank deeper and deeper, descending one kilometer in the blink of an eye. Then, the devouring force appeared.

Clearly, he knew about the might of the devouring force. After testing it cautiously, he took out a black jade pendant and placed it in his mouth. His body slowly turned illusory, and then he went through the devouring force and continued sinking.

All the other cultivators were deeply engrossed in absorbing the motes of light. No one noticed such a scene at all, not even Xiao Chen.

Time slowly passed. Soon, the crowd came to realize that the motes of light in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring were not infinite.

This restriction became very clear with the Deity Race’s group. They had the most people and were the strongest.

The motes of light in the Deity Race’s area were the first to get depleted. The originally flickering golden water turned clear, looking no different from ordinary water.

This clarity was in stark contrast to the other glowing areas of the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring.

The Deity Race man in the middle looked around and said expressionlessly, “Attack! Chase them away!”

The Deity Race pair in the middle did not move. The other thirteen Deity Race youths slowly rose up from the water and leaped into the air.

Then, the white-haired Deity Race man seated cross-legged looked around and said, “Fiend Race.”

The thirteen Deity Race geniuses in the air started accumulating momentum without saying a word. They all drew the golden swords at their waists at the same time and sent out golden sword Qi at the Fiend Race youths.
