“This is awesome! Doesn’t it mean we perform cultivation for several thousand years if we could stay in this pool for 100 years?” Duan Jiude said in surprise for he had found the way to realize a breakthrough in his Cultivation Stage.
Mo Junchen shook his head, “No, if we stay in this pool for a long time, its effect will last for several years at most. The water in this pool is a kind of precious liquid that could restore the Celestial Core Power that flows away all the time. If we stay in this pool, we are exchanging matter with it!”
“Exchange? What do you mean?” Buttface asked.
“It means we absorb its Celestial Core Power as it absorbs the impurities in our bodies. You know we don’t have many impurities in our body now. But we still have some elixir residue in our bodies!” Mo Junchen explained.
“Oh, I get it. This pool is just like a cleaner fish which only consumes the rubbish in our body and returns to us Celestial Core Power!” Xu Que drew an analogy with a smile.
“It is more or less like that. However, most Celestial Core Power is generated by the pool itself. As long as the source is not drained, it will regenerate Celestial Core Power continuously!” Mo Junchen nodded his head.
Duan Jiude said, puzzled, “No, I don’t think so. As you said, if the pool could restore the Celestial Core Power slowly, why wouldn’t it be more efficient as it used by deities? I have stayed in this pool for a while. I only feel my Celestial Core Power is increasing. But my Soul and Taoist Connotation are not purified and perfected at all!”
“Right! As I said, we are exchanging matter with the pool. It will not only absorb the impurities in our body. Its effect is also related to our Cultivation Stage!” Mo Junchen said, as he scratched his head, “It is a little bit difficult to explain. Generally speaking, if our Cultivation Stage is low, the effect of this pool will also be weakened. If deities are in this pool, its effect would also be enhanced!”
“Hmm, I get it. In other words, the pool has been weakened since we jumped into it, right?” Xu Que said.
Mo Junchen nodded his head, “Exactly! So, I don’t think we can stay here for a long time. We will have to leave here in one or at most two years! Otherwise, even if the source of this pool is not ruined by us, its effect will be very weak at that time, far weaker than now!”
“Holy sh*t! This is unacceptable!” Hearing that, Xu Que shouted, “Buttface and Duan Jiude, get out of this pool! Also, Guardian Mo, you should be protecting me at this time. How could you perform cultivation in this pool?”
“...” Mo Junchen frowned. You said we would share each other’s fortunes!
“Faction Leader, you misunderstood me. Even if you stay in this pool alone, the pool will still be weakened! The pool can’t restore itself as long as we are in it. When all of us leave this pool, it will start to restore itself automatically! Of course, don’t worry about the overfast consumption of the Celestial Core Power when all of us are in the pool. To some extent, the Celestial Core Power in this pool is endless! The only thing we should pay attention to is to avoid staying in it for a long time!” Mo Junchen said with embarrassment. If the records in the ancient books were not wrong, the operation mechanism of this pool should be like this!
Hearing that, Xu Que understood the pool better. So he said, nodding his head with a smile, “Hah, hah, I was kidding just now! Don’t tell me you thought I meant it just now! Members of the Exploding Heavens Faction always share fortunes and misfortunes together! Come on, let’s absorb the Celestial Core Power all together!”
Buttface laughed, “Heh, heh!” Duan Jiude laughed, although he wasn’t sure why, “Heh, heh!”
Mo Junchen asked, “Heh...ahem, Faction Leader, actually, may I ask you a question?”
“Oh? What is it?” Xu Que leaned on the edge of the pool. The feeling was so good in this pool—it was much more comfortable than a hot springs!
“Just now you mentioned the Taiyi Heaven Book. Does this mean you are the One Chosen by Heaven?” Mo Junchen asked. Actually, this question was meaningless. When Xu Que took out the stone tablet, he had seen Xu Que’s name on it. Mo Junchen didn’t know how to talk about the Taiyi Heaven Book, so he asked it indirectly.
“Okay! Come straight to the point. I know the meaning of being the One Chosen by Heaven. Actually, I was forced to...ahem, forget it, let’s talk about it later!” Xu Que was about to pour out his grievances to Mo Junchen by telling Mo Junchen how he was chosen by Xuanyuan Wanrong and became the One Chosen by Heaven. However, he realized Xuanyuan Wanrong’s remnant soul was still here. If she knew the facts, even if Xu Que and his teammates were not killed by her, they would be driven away!
“Okay! Let’s talk about it later!” Hearing that, Mo Junchen nodded his head. Actually, he knew it was not important to talk about it now. Xu Que had become the One Chosen by Heaven, which was a fact nobody could change. It was meaningless to talk about it. Nobody could go against the will of Heaven!
“By the way, Guardian Mo, you mentioned the Heaven Palace Academy has over 100 Celestials of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and 3,000 Taiyi Celestials. Could you tell me their Cultivation Stages? I only know the Heaven Celestials and the Golden Celestials. And I have no idea about the Cultivation Stages higher than that,” Xu Que asked at this time. Although he was just at the Human Celestial Stage, he tried to get some knowledge by chatting with Mo Junchen.
However, before Mo Junchen had time to say anything, Buttface said first, “I can tell you! After the Golden Celestial, one will become the Taiyi Golden Celestial, the Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, the Celestial King, the Celestial Prime, and the Celestial Emperor! At last, a cultivator could reach the stage of the Taoist Prime and the Taoist Emperor! Only those who reach the stage of the Celestial Emperor could touch the Taoist Connotation. In other words, they are qualified to comprehend their Tao!”
“Holy sh*t! I didn’t realize that there were still so many Cultivation Stages! When can I reach the highest level?” Xu Que felt quite frustrated for he still had a long way to go in his cultivation. However, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s Cultivation Stage surprised him. Mo Junchen said Xuanyuan Wanrong had reached the stage of the Celestial Prime and was very close to the Celestial Emperor as the Building Head of the Heaven Palace Sect. She was so powerful, but the Heaven Palace Sect had still been ruined overnight! Xuanyuan Wanrong had lain in the ice coffin for tens of thousands of years! Even more horrible, Xuanyuan Wanrong said she was in a Nirvana State and would come out after several hundred years! Then, what would be the woman’s Cultivation Stage after several hundred years? Also, Xuanyuan Wanrong had sent some cultivators to check whether those who were buried in other deathtraps in the Four Great Continents were awakened or not. This was very informative, and it meant there were more than one big shot like Xuanyuan Wanrong.
“The dog is correct about the big Cultivation Stages. However, there are some small stages!” Mo Junchen added at this time.
“F*ck! Why did you call me a dog? I am a wolf and also the Deputy Faction Leader! I will punish you according to the rules of our faction!” Buttface rushed toward Mo Junchen immediately. Xu Que stopped Buttface and asked as he looked at Mo Junchen, “What are those small stages?”
“Actually, only the Taiyi Celestial and the Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven have small stages. The Taiyi Celestial is divided into three stages, which are the Taiyi Disbanded Celestial, the Taiyi Genuine Celestial, and the Taiyi Golden Celestial! The Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven can be divided into two small stages, which are the Disbanded Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven and the Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven!” Mo Junchen said with a smile as he looked at Buttface lamely. He believed he was as powerful as Buttface and could even slap Buttface to death. However, after being kicked by Buttface in his knee, he felt this dog’s strength was unfathomable. So he decided to avoid provoking it.
“The Taiyi Disbanded Celestial, Taiyi Genuine Celestial, and the Taiyi Golden Celestial...” Xu Que murmured the small stages mentioned by Mo Junchen as he touched his jaw thoughtfully.
After that, they stopped chatting and started to focus on their own cultivations. Since the Celestial Core Power of this pool could go into their bodies automatically, they decided to stay in this pool for one or two years, so that they could maximize their Cultivation Stage in the limited time. Therefore, instead of killing time through chatting, they preferred to comprehend their Tao when they performed cultivation.
.....
Soon, one year had passed.
Duan Jiude’s progress in his Celestial Stage was the most conspicuous. Now he was very close to the Earth Celestial Stage. Normally, the one who would reach the Earth Celestial Stage first should be Xu Que. However, the magic art he acquired was the Ancient Five Elemental Arts. The five celestial spiritual roots in his body needed a lot of Celestial Core Power for their growth. He was accumulating a lot of Celestial Core Power in his body.
Xu Que was also surprised. After all, he had performed cultivation in the Golden Branch Jade Elixir Pool for one year, which was identical with performing cultivation in the outside world for dozens of years. But why was the Earth Celestial Stage still inaccessible?
“Is it related to my Mighty Body?” Xu Que, who was sitting in the pool with his legs crossed, realized something suddenly. Then, his eyes, which had been closed for one year, opened. He looked down to check his body. He was shocked by what he saw!
