“Yes, you go. This Dragon Pool will definitely be of great benefit to you!” Little Green Dragon nodded.
Lin Yun quickly waved his hand, “No way. Precisely because the Dragon Pool’s effects are so powerful, you should be the one to immerse in it. Didn’t you say it has some ability to evolve bloodlines? It’d be even more useful for you.”
Even the Second Elder of the West Sea Dragon Palace and others were startled by Little Green Dragon’s words.
“Dragon King, you won this Heavenly Dragon Platform competition, so you can’t participate again. Elder Lin Yun didn’t win this time, so he can compete next time. You… giving the immersion to Elder Lin Yun, this… it’s really not appropriate,” the Second Elder urged repeatedly.
“Second Elder, be quiet,” Little Green Dragon shot him a glance, signalling him to hold his tongue.
Then, Little Green Dragon turned to Lin Yun.
“Rascal, to be honest, the Dragon Pool is indeed powerful and does have some ability to evolve bloodlines, but with my first-grade bloodline, it can’t improve my bloodline further because it’s already too high.”
“As for the enhancement to my physical body, while it would have a decent effect, it’s limited. My body, bolstered by my bloodline, is already very strong, with little room for improvement.”
Little Green Dragon’s tone shifted, “On the other hand, if the Dragon Pool’s effects are given to you, they’ll be absolutely tremendous, absolutely!”
“No way! You won the championship, and you can’t participate again. This is your only chance to immerse in the Dragon Pool. Even if the improvement is limited, it’ll still benefit you, won’t it?” Lin Yun shook his head firmly.
“You haven’t won a championship, so you can still compete in the future. How about this: you win the championship next time and transfer the immersion opportunity to me. I believe you’ll have the strength to do it. For now, you immerse first, and I’ll do it later. It’s just a matter of switching the order. You need it more than I do,” Little Green Dragon said.
“This…” Lin Yun still hesitated.
“Rascal, since when did you become so indecisive? We’re brothers, why be so formal? When there’s an opportunity, it should go to whoever benefits most! Right?” Little Green Dragon said, playfully punching Lin Yun’s chest.
“Alright, I’ll immerse this time, and next time it’s yours,” Lin Yun thought it over and finally nodded in agreement.
Based on Little Green Dragon and the Second Elder’s earlier descriptions of the Dragon Pool’s effects, Lin Yun guessed that immersing in it could greatly benefit his physical body, perhaps even help him break through a bottleneck and strive towards an origin body.
On that point alone, the Dragon Pool’s allure for Lin Yun was immense!
“That’s the spirit. The Dragon Pool’s about to open, so go now,” Little Green Dragon said with a satisfied smile.
The Second Elder quickly stepped forward, “Dragon King, the energy in the Dragon Pool is extremely potent. Its effects are far stronger than our West Sea Dragon Palace’s Sacred Pool, but it’s also far more dangerous. Our dragon bodies are robust enough to withstand it, but Elder Lin Yun’s human body might not hold up. You should go instead. If Elder Lin Yun goes, there could be a risk to his life.”
The Second Elder spoke the truth. The energy in the Dragon Pool was incredibly potent. Without a sufficiently strong body, entering it would be suicidal, as the energy could overwhelm and destroy the body, turning it into nourishment for the pool.
“Rascal, the energy in the Dragon Pool is indeed very potent, but with your body’s strength, you should be able to handle it. Try it first when you go in. I can’t guarantee anything since I haven’t immersed myself, but if you can’t handle it, come up immediately,” Little Green Dragon cautioned.
Little Green Dragon knew Lin Yun’s body was a chaos body. An ordinary human cultivator wouldn’t dare enter the Dragon Pool.
“Got it,” Lin Yun nodded.
At that moment, the barrier around the Dragon Pool had lifted.
“Go now. The Dragon Pool’s open for just one hour. Every second is precious. How much energy you absorb depends on you,” Little Green Dragon said.
Hearing this, Lin Yun headed straight for the Dragon Pool.
This time, Lin Yun got the opportunity, but Little Green Dragon wouldn’t leave the Hidden Dragon Abyss empty-handed.
The over ten million Purple Radiance Sea Crystals obtained earlier, Lin Yun planned to refine entirely into Qiankun Crystal Stones for Little Green Dragon, which would surely bring him significant improvement!
“Look, it’s that human guest elder from the West Sea Dragon Palace heading to the Dragon Pool!”
“What’s going on? Did the West Sea Dragon King give him the Dragon Pool immersion opportunity? No way!”
Members of the South Sea and North Sea Dragon Palaces were shocked at the sight.
To them, this was outrageous. The Dragon Pool slot was so precious, and the West Sea Dragon King wasn’t using it himself?
“The West Sea Dragon King has been calling that guy his brother, and now he’s even given him the Dragon Pool immersion slot. Their relationship must be unbelievably close!”
“Giving him the slot, can he even handle it? The Dragon Pool’s energy isn’t something a human can withstand! If he recklessly enters, he might lose his life and become nourishment for the pool.”
“Exactly, the Dragon Pool isn’t something a human can just immerse in! Human bodies are so frail, how can they compare to us dragons!”
…
Members of the other two dragon palaces voiced their doubts.
In no time, Lin Yun reached the Dragon Pool.
The water in the pool shimmered like liquid gold, radiant and extraordinary.
Lin Yun didn’t waste time and stepped into the Dragon Pool.
Boom!
As soon as he entered, Lin Yun felt a vast surge of energy rushing towards him.
Opening his body fully, Lin Yun absorbed the energy ravenously, as if every pore on his skin had opened, frantically soaking up the golden liquid.
Roar!
As the energy entered his body, Lin Yun immediately felt it roaring within him like a dragon’s cry, its power indeed overwhelmingly potent, fiercely impacting every cell in his body.
Lin Yun instantly felt intense, stinging pain in every cell.
“Hiss…”
“This energy is indeed incredibly potent!”
Feeling such intense pain, Lin Yun couldn’t help but gasp.
But when it came to enduring pain, Lin Yun was exceptionally resilient.
Especially after years of enduring the torment of Soul-Breaking Poison, he had long been tempered.
Though this pain was fierce, it was still less severe than the agony of the Soul-Breaking Poison.
But Lin Yun was certain that if another human cultivator tried this, they’d absolutely be unable to withstand the torment.
