Venerable Jin Peng nodded with satisfaction. "Go back and wait. I'll inform you after I consult His Majesty."
After bowing again to thank Venerable Jin Peng, Meng Wan respectfully left Venerable Jin Peng's residence.
Meng Wan knew very well that her problem was not that her bloodline awakening was not thorough enough, but that the bloodline power she absorbed was not complete.
Since Venerable Jin Peng had offered to let her enter the meridian cleansing pool, refusing would only arouse suspicion.
It’s better to go with the flow and agree to it first.
After Meng Wan returned to her palace, she waited patiently for news.
The next morning, the maid came to Meng Wan's palace and said respectfully.
"Little Princess, Venerable Jin Peng has asked His Majesty the Demon King for permission to allow you to enter the Meridian Cleansing Pool for training. Please follow me."
Meng Wan's face lit up with joy when she heard this. "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty the Demon King!"
She followed the maid to the outside of the meridian washing pool, only to see that the pool was filled with rich demonic energy and the water was a light golden color, as if it contained infinite power.
"Little Princess, the demonic energy in the meridian cleansing pool is extremely pure, but also extremely violent."
The maid said with a serious look, "Before you came, Venerable Jin Peng specifically instructed you to calm your mind and focus after entering the pool, and to avoid arrogance and impatience. Only then can you utilize the essence of the meridian cleansing pool and stimulate the potential of your bloodline power."
Meng Wan's expression became serious. "Your Excellency, I will take note of your suggestion."
After the maid left, Meng Wan slowly walked into the meridian washing pool, and the golden water instantly enveloped her.
She felt a powerful demonic energy surge into her body, as if it was going to penetrate into her internal organs.
Meng Wan closed her eyes, calmed her mind, and began to circulate the blood power in her body.
However, her goal was not to awaken her bloodline, but to devour more demon essence.
"Since you like to act, I'll fight you!"
Meng Wan sneered in her heart, and then began to frantically absorb the demonic power in the pool.
The golden light in the pool slowly dimmed, as if all its essence had been devoured by Meng Wan.
A faint golden glow appeared on the surface of her body, making her look quite extraordinary.
However, Meng Wan was not satisfied with this.
Her goal is not only to devour the demon essence, but also to take this opportunity to strengthen her demon body.
With the help of the meridian cleansing pool formation and the flushing of demon energy, every inch of her flesh and blood became tougher, and her bones and muscles became tighter and stronger, full of explosive power.
What surprised her most was that under the influence of the demonic energy, her skin gradually became crystal clear, as smooth and delicate as jade.
However, beneath this seemingly tender skin lies an amazing defensive power.
Meng Wan clenched her fists lightly, feeling the power surging beneath her skin, as if it could easily tear apart all obstacles.
The strange phenomenon in the meridian washing pool attracted the attention of Venerable Jinpeng.
He stood on the high platform beside the pool, looking deeply into the meridian washing pool.
The golden light in the pool gradually dimmed, while Meng Wan's aura became stronger and stronger, like an ancient ferocious beast awakening.
Venerable Jin Peng was secretly amazed, "The Vermillion Bird bloodline is indeed extraordinary. It can absorb the demonic energy in the meridian cleansing pool so quickly.
But...why hasn't her bloodline power fully awakened yet?"
He pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Meng Wan's biological mother was of humble status, and he suddenly realized.
"I see. Most likely, her biological mother's bloodline was impure, which hindered her from awakening. This is why her bloodline power is difficult to awaken."
Venerable Jin Peng shook his head slightly and no longer paid attention to the changes in the meridian washing pool.
A few days later, the water in the meridian washing pool lost its last bit of golden color. Meng Wan slowly opened her eyes, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure.
She clenched her fists lightly, feeling the power surging in her body, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Although I didn't achieve a breakthrough in my cultivation, my demonic body has become much stronger after this training. This trip was worth it!"
She walked slowly out of the meridian washing pool, the golden light on her body gradually faded, and her skin returned to its original smoothness and delicacy, but the power hidden beneath her skin became even stronger.
She gently stretched her muscles and felt the explosive power contained in her bones and muscles, which made her feel even more satisfied.
After leaving the meridian washing pool, Meng Wan did not return to the palace immediately, but took the initiative to go to the residence of Venerable Jin Peng.
When Venerable Jin Peng saw Meng Wan, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"Little Princess, have you finished your training in the meridian cleansing pool? How do you feel?"
Meng Wan looked gloomy and spoke in a lost tone.
"Your Excellency, Meng Wan has failed to live up to your expectations. Although the demonic energy in the meridian cleansing pool is extremely powerful, I... I still haven't been able to fully activate the power of my bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Jin Peng's eyes flashed with understanding.
He had already expected that Meng Wan's bloodline power would be difficult to fully awaken, so he was not surprised by her "failure".
He smiled slightly and said gently, "Little Princess, there's no need to blame yourself. Awakening the power of blood is extremely difficult, let alone your blood power..."
Ahem, anyway, it's extremely rare that you can persist in the meridian washing pool for several days."
Meng Wan lowered her head, her tone tinged with self-blame. "But... Meng Wan wasted such a precious opportunity. I truly feel ashamed of the kindness shown to you, Your Majesty."
Venerable Jin Peng waved his hand, with a hint of relief in his tone.
"Little Princess, there's no need to be so. The path of cultivation is long, and while bloodline power is certainly important, it's not the only thing. Your experience in tempering your demonic body in the meridian-cleansing pool has yielded some results. Strengthening your demonic body will greatly benefit your future cultivation."
Meng Wan heard this, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, "Your Excellency is right. However... Meng Wan doesn't know how to practice next. I would like to ask for your guidance."
Venerable Jin Peng nodded, his tone carrying some profound meaning.
"Don't be too obsessed with the power of your bloodline. Next, you can start with both magic and actual combat to further improve your strength."
He paused and continued, "Magic is the foundation of cultivation. You can study more advanced magic to improve your combat capabilities. As for actual combat, you can spar with the masters in the palace to gain experience."
Meng Wan nodded respectfully, her attitude sincere, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency. Meng Wan will definitely keep it in mind."
Venerable Jin Peng smiled faintly, "The little princess is gifted and so humble and eager to learn. Her future achievements are bound to be limitless. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. Meng Wan will definitely work hard to cultivate and live up to Your Excellency's expectations."
After thanking Venerable Jin Peng again, Meng Wan left Venerable Jin Peng's residence and went straight to the martial arts training ground.
After being tempered in the meridian cleansing pool, Meng Wan's demonic body has greatly increased in strength, but it still needs to be consolidated through actual combat before it can adapt.
The martial arts arena is a place in the Demon King's Palace specially used for training and practicing. It is usually very lively, and today is no exception.
As soon as I stepped into the martial arts arena, I saw many demon clan disciples sparring with each other. The power of demon essence was intertwined in the air, making bursts of roaring sounds.
