Chapter 54. Strength Increased a Hundredfold, a True Rebirth!
BOOM...
The two old monsters guarding the Dragon Transformation Pool spoke with majestic voices.
“The thirty-day period has ended. You should leave now.”
Their voices were calm as they entered Chu Feng’s ears.
Chu Feng’s mind stirred.
So soon?
Thirty days had already passed, and he had been so immersed in cultivation that he had not noticed at all.
Chu Feng glanced around the Dragon Transformation Pool and felt that the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy within it seemed to have diminished.
Continuing to cultivate here would not have much meaning.
Because earlier, Chu Feng’s explosive rise in realm had mainly relied on the Divine Source Stones.
The spiritual energy produced by the formation within the Dragon Transformation Pool was merely the icing on the cake.
If he continued cultivating here, even raising a single level would take an enormous amount of time.
Unless the Dragon Transformation Pool were supplemented with some top-tier heavenly treasures—but that was obviously impossible.
“I did not expect that even the spiritual energy produced by the Dragon Transformation Pool’s formation would not be enough for my cultivation breakthrough,” Chu Feng thought.
Normally, at Chu Feng’s current realm, even if he cultivated inside the Dragon Transformation Pool for a year or even ten years, it would not cause the spiritual energy here to grow scarce.
But Chu Feng was not normal.
He possessed the Supreme Immortal Bone and the Chaos Dual Pupils. Every tiny increase in his realm required hundreds or even thousands of times more energy than ordinary cultivators.
Moreover, Chu Feng had fused the drop of true dragon essence blood from the bottom of the Dragon Transformation Pool into his body.
The spiritual energy consumed during that process was like an ocean—impossible to estimate.
“Thank you for informing me, seniors.”
Chu Feng spoke in a deep voice.
This journey had improved him far too much. His strength had increased by more than a hundredfold.
If he returned to the Royal Hunting Grounds now, he could slaughter everyone present without even using any divine abilities.
Chu Feng stepped out of the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Standing beside it, he looked over the tranquil residence of the Dragon Transformation Pool before slightly bowing.
“Thank you, seniors, for guarding me during my cultivation. This junior takes his leave.”
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
Watching Chu Feng’s departing figure, the two old monsters guarding the Dragon Transformation Pool sighed with emotion.
That monster had finally left.
The two of them could not help but wonder endlessly in their hearts—how far would Chu Feng go in the future?
They had seen the astonishing First Prince and Second Prince before.
But compared to Chu Feng, they still seemed slightly inferior.
Chu Feng stepped outside the Dragon Transformation Pool residence.
There, he saw a delicate young maid quietly waiting.
When Chu Feng looked carefully, he realized it was Xiao Qing, the personal maid of Consort Yu.
“Your Highness, the Prince.”
Upon seeing Chu Feng appear, Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up. She walked over gracefully and said respectfully, “Her Ladyship invites you.”
Chu Feng suddenly remembered.
Before he came to cultivate in the Dragon Transformation Pool, he had informed Consort Yu. At that time, she had instructed him to visit her at Jinxuan Palace after finishing his cultivation.
Back then, Consort Yu’s tone had seemed somewhat unpleasant.
Had she realized something?
Chu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Now that he had become much stronger, his confidence had greatly increased.
He casually glanced at Xiao Qing.
In that instant, Xiao Qing felt her entire body become weak and numb, as if struck by lightning. Her lips turned pale immediately.
She did not dare to raise her head, but her heart was filled with shock.
“The Third Prince… how did he become so much stronger?!”
Xiao Qing herself was in the Condensing Dao Realm. Across the Great Chu Dynasty, she could be considered a top genius—someone who would normally be trained with the same importance as the Fifth Prince.
Yet now, standing before Chu Feng, she felt incomparably fragile.
It felt as if Chu Feng could kill her instantly if he wished.
The sensation of having one’s life completely controlled by someone else was extremely unpleasant.
But previously, Chu Feng had not been nearly this strong.
Cultivating in the Dragon Transformation Pool lasted only thirty days. How could such a heaven-shaking transformation occur in such a short time?
What exactly had he experienced?
“Mm. Let’s go.”
Chu Feng said casually.
His gaze was indifferent. After his strength increased, although he still could not match Consort Yu, he was no longer someone who could be casually manipulated.
At the very least, Chu Feng now possessed the strength to resist—and the ability to negotiate on equal footing.
This was not only because he possessed the Yuan Ancestor’s token, but also because he had fused the true dragon essence blood and cultivated the fifth level of the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.
Chu Feng walked forward leisurely.
The unfathomable aura surrounding him caused Xiao Qing, who followed behind him, to feel deep fear.
…
Not long after Chu Feng left—
Another group of people arrived at the Dragon Transformation Pool residence.
If Chu Feng had been here, he would have recognized who it was.
It was a young girl—the Ninth Princess, Chu Mengyao, whom he had encountered once in the Royal Hunting Grounds.
Although Chu Mengyao had survived back then, she had suffered serious injuries. Her condition at that time was not suitable for cultivation in the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Now that so much time had passed, her injuries had healed and her cultivation had improved.
It happened to be the perfect moment for her to cultivate here.
Even if she only had three days, it would still be enough—something countless prodigies of the Great Chu imperial clan dreamed of but could never obtain.
Chu Mengyao took a deep breath and arrived at the Dragon Transformation Pool residence.
She instructed the servants to wait outside.
Then she entered alone.
The moment she stepped inside, Chu Mengyao’s expression changed drastically.
From somewhere unseen, the gazes of the two old monsters within the alternate dimension pierced through space and enveloped her.
Chu Mengyao’s body stiffened for a long time before she said in a deep voice,
“This junior is Chu Mengyao, third place in the Heavenly Hunt Ceremony!”
After hearing this—
A calm voice echoed from the alternate dimension.
“Enter the Dragon Transformation Pool and cultivate on your own. Leave after three days.”
“Yes.”
Chu Mengyao replied respectfully.
She then walked toward the Dragon Transformation Pool.
However, when she arrived beside the pool, her expression suddenly froze.
The Dragon Transformation Pool before her still contained molten-gold-like water.
Yet it seemed to be missing something.
Chu Mengyao was puzzled.
In her memory, the Dragon Transformation Pool had not been like this. Where had the dragon patterns on the water and the faint true dragon phantoms gone?
With confusion in her heart, Chu Mengyao still sat down within the pool and began cultivating.
BOOM...
About half an hour later—
Chu Mengyao suddenly opened her eyes!
Something was wrong!
This was not the Dragon Transformation Pool at all!
This so-called Dragon Transformation Pool contained not the slightest trace of true dragon might.
It felt as though she were simply cultivating within an ordinary spiritual formation.
The reason the Dragon Transformation Pool was so coveted by countless prodigies was not because its spiritual formation was powerful.
It was because it contained true dragon essence blood!
The so-called cleansing of the body relied entirely on that drop of true dragon essence blood to temper the body, the limbs, the meridians, and the Dantian.
Yet now, Chu Mengyao could not sense the presence of that drop of true dragon essence blood at all.
“Seniors…”
Chu Mengyao took a deep breath. After standing up, she spoke with some difficulty.
“This junior feels that something is wrong with the Dragon Transformation Pool.”
“Hm? Something is wrong? If something feels wrong, it means you are not suitable to cultivate in the Dragon Transformation Pool. Your body is too weak and cannot withstand the terrifying energy within it.”
A calm voice came from the alternate dimension.
