"Master, although that place is full of dangers, it is also a place with great opportunities. Rumor has it that the new master once held out in the pool for thirty days. When she finally broke out of the pool, her body glowed with a jade-like luster. She could crush star alloys with her bare hands and withstand the world-destroying thunder without a scratch. She truly forged a divine body comparable to the lord's armor. It was because of such outstanding performance that she was chosen by the master." Enhao said eagerly, his eyes full of longing for the mysterious opportunity.
"Do you think your master can bear it in his current condition?" Emperor Shi couldn't help but sneer, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"But this is indeed the hope for Master's recovery! If the injuries can be repaired and the divine body can be strengthened, Master will definitely be able to make further progress!" Enhao looked at Yu Kai seriously, his eyes full of firm belief.
"That won't do. This is too risky. The young master must not be in any harm!" Li Yuening objected hastily. She recalled her own painful experiences in similar dangerous trials in the past, and the worries in her heart surged like a tide.
Everyone could see that Yu Kai was moved, however, out of concern for him, no one wanted him to take the risk.
Yu Kai frowned slightly, lost in thought. He recalled the hardships and obstacles he had faced along the way, the countless challenges and difficulties he had endured. Now that his strength had stagnated, this might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through. Despite the enormous risks, his conviction was unwavering: he firmly believed that his own destiny should be his own.
After a moment, he smiled, his eyes as firm as a torch, and said loudly: "Want to take my life? First, pass the test of the sharp blade in my hand! My life is in my own hands, not in the hands of God. No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, I will kill anyone who comes!"
"I knew Master would definitely try!" Enhao said excitedly, "Master, don't worry, I will do my best to protect you!"
"Are you the only one protecting me?" Yu Kai looked at Enhao with a teasing smile in his eyes.
"You should quickly think of a way to defeat that Overlord! She is the first to create a divine body, and her realm is higher than yours. If you can't win, I'm afraid the Emperor won't let you go easily!" Yu Kai said worriedly for him.
"Yes, you won't use our young master as a medicine inducer, right?" Xia Shihan scolded. She had a generous personality. Although she was worried about Yu Kai, she also believed in his decision deep down in her heart.
"How dare I! Master has been very kind to me! I have full confidence in myself, and I am about to break through to the middle stage of the Great Emperor!" Enhao said confidently, patting his chest.
"So fast?" Wu Dahu opened his mouth in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Of course, I am the number one genius in the Lingji Immortal Realm. I have not been able to make a breakthrough in the past few years, but I have never slacked off. It is reasonable that I have made rapid progress now!" Enhao had a proud look on his face, and his expression was full of confidence in his own strength.
"Then when can we enter the strengthening pool?" A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Yu Kai's eyes.
"Three years from now, the Royal Family Enhancement Pool will open, and we'll be able to go there then!"
"There is still time, we have to prepare well!" Emperor Shi said solemnly. He secretly decided that in these three years, he would use his own unique methods to help Yu Kai temper his physique, hoping that he could successfully pass the severe test of the strengthening pool.
"Then Master, you guys should prepare well. Feel free to go to the warehouse to get whatever you need. I will go into seclusion first. I still want to keep the title of 'the first person'!" Enhao said seriously.
"Wait!" Yu Kai called him, and a divine light flew out from his hand. "These are some sword moves I practiced. Take them and comprehend them."
Enhao quickly took the divine light and found it was a jade slip. His face was immediately filled with gratitude, and he happily thanked him, "Thank you, Master!"
In the days that followed, the Devouring Emperor devoted himself daily to helping Yu Kai refine his physique, allowing him to acclimate to the pain of the training. The unique training techniques the Devouring Emperor imparted to him made each session feel like meticulously forging a peerless divine weapon. Throughout this process, Yu Kai continuously absorbed countless spiritual substances. Time slipped by quietly amidst this intense training, and three years flew by.
In the first year, Elder Enyi returned, but unfortunately, Enhao was in seclusion, preventing them from meeting. Enyi inevitably felt a sense of regret. He knew Enhao's potential and longed to exchange ideas and gain his guidance. In the second year, Enyi embarked on a journey to the Divine Court Immortal Realm to support the three elders.
News spread that the Three Elders, leading their army, had not yet entered the Divine Court Immortal Realm when they were blocked by a creature claiming to be a desolate beast. A fierce battle ensued in the void. This commotion was so devastating that it attracted an even more formidable gold-pecking butterfly. Ultimately, the Three Elders were defeated and forced to retreat.
So, the fifth elder Enyi came to support, and the third elder and his men found an uninhabited planet to camp on, quietly waiting for his arrival.
Time flew by, and three years flew by in a flash. The atmosphere in the imperial capital was becoming increasingly lively, as the Royal Family Enhancement Pool, which opened only once every twenty years, was about to open again. In the streets and alleys, people were discussing the matter enthusiastically, speculating which of the Royal Family members would last the longest in the Enhancement Pool and who would become the most dazzling rising star.
"This time, sixty-eight members of the royal family were able to enter the strengthening pool! I really don't know how many of them can come out safely in the end!" Someone couldn't help but sigh, his tone full of worry.
"Yes! The number of royals is decreasing these days, so it's really rare to see sixty-eight people qualify at once!"
"It's because the Overlord's performance in the enhancement pool is too amazing. Everyone wants to follow suit, hoping to reach the top overnight!" Someone said with obvious disdain in his tone.
"Indeed! From ancient times to the present, only two people have been able to stay in the Strengthening Pool for a full thirty days. One is the Overlord Ancestor who developed the Life Potion, and the other is the current Overlord!"
"By the way, I heard that Enhao is also going in this time!"
"Him? With his conditions, how could he be qualified to go in?" Someone looked doubtful and didn't believe it at all.
You should know that the Royal Enhancement Pool isn't accessible to just anyone. Only young cultivators under a thousand years old are eligible, and this opportunity is one in a lifetime. Aside from members of the royal family, anyone else can't enter unless they've achieved extraordinary military feats. After all, the pool's spiritual fluid is forged from four essential treasures preserved from the dawn of time. Using a fraction of it depletes it, and it's no wonder everyone is so shocked.
The man looked around and saw that there were no people from the temple or the imperial court around. He then lowered his voice and said cautiously, "There's news that it was actually Enhao, not the Lord, who broke the Great Emperor's imprisonment!"
"Is this true? Don't talk nonsense!" someone reminded nervously in a low voice.
"Everyone's talking about this privately now, and I'm half-believing it. But maybe this is the reason he was able to enter the enhancement pool, which can be regarded as a disguised proof!"
