CHAPTER 868: CHAPTER 868: ASCENSION POOL

"Green Lotus Mark?"

Ling Chen was slightly taken aback.

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, a petite figure swept over, tugged at Ling Chen’s robe sleeve, and said playfully, "White-haired Brother, the Green Lotus Sword Manual is hidden within your Green Lotus Mark."

Ling Chen immediately activated the Green Lotus Mark, and a green lotus appeared on his forehead.

Then, a piece of information entered Ling Chen’s divine soul.

"The Seventh Form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual!"

Ling Chen felt a surge of joy in his heart.

"Thank you."

Ling Chen smiled at the adorable little girl.

"White-haired Brother, no need to be polite."

The little girl said with a beaming smile.

Emperor Haotian saw Li Kaiyan and smiled, "You’ll handle the remaining matters?"

"No problem!"

Li Kaiyan patted her small chest and nodded earnestly.

Emperor Haotian then left.

"White-haired Brother, my name is Li Kaiyan."

Li Kaiyan said with a smile.

"Hello, little sister, I’m Ling Chen."

Ling Chen replied.

"I know, the Great Elder mentioned it."

Li Kaiyan said.

Li Qiushui and Li Changtian also began to introduce themselves.

Both of them were quite fond of this adorable little fellow.

Li Kaiyan clasped her hands behind her back, looking like a little adult.

Leading the way ahead.

"The Green Lotus Sword Manual is stored within your Green Lotus Mark, and only after successfully mastering one form will the next form appear."

With one sentence, Li Kaiyan resolved Ling Chen’s confusion.

Ling Chen had wondered why, despite his nine-star talent, he only obtained the seventh form!

So that’s how it is.

"The place we are going to is called the Ascension Realm, where inner clan disciples reside and cultivate."

"Residences are allocated according to bloodline."

"Different levels of bloodline occupy different residential areas."

"After resting today, tomorrow I will take you to a place called the Ascension Pool, where you can cultivate at will and perhaps have the chance to advance to the Emperor Realm!"

"The Ascension Pool is also within the Ascension Realm."

"Additionally, our clan’s rules are also in your Green Lotus Mark. You can check them."

"Normally, all you have to do is cultivate."

"Hmm, that’s about it!"

Li Kaiyan counted on her fingers and said.

She had seen the task of receiving disciples many times.

She thought it was fun and came over to ask for this task.

Emperor Haotian handed it over to her.

Now, she was completely familiar with it.

"Ascension Pool?"

Ling Chen’s expression showed some excitement.

According to his estimation, if he relied on his own cultivation, he didn’t know how long it would take to step into the Emperor Realm.

Who would have thought that there would be such a precious land in the Green Lotus Ancient Clan?

"Are there many people who have advanced to the Emperor Realm in the Ascension Pool?"

Ling Chen asked.

Li Kaiyan thought for a moment and said, "Not many, it’s related to bloodline. The stronger the bloodline, the greater the chance of advancing to the Emperor Realm."

She rolled her eyes and looked at Li Qiushui and Li Changtian, saying, "You also have a chance. In the past, even those without first-class bloodlines have advanced to Emperor rank."

Soon, the four of them arrived in the Ascension Realm.

Li Kaiyan first arranged for Li Qiushui and Li Changtian to reside in the second-class and third-class bloodline accommodations.

Only then did she take Ling Chen to a first-class bloodline residence.

"White-haired Brother, these three courtyards already have owners. You can choose from the remaining six courtyards."

Li Kaiyan stood in front of the gate of the fourth courtyard.

"Hmm, thank you, Kaiyan younger sister, I’ll choose this one!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

He didn’t have many requirements for a residence.

Moreover, he would be returning to the Flower Immortal Sect to cultivate in the future.

"White-haired Brother, no need to be polite. I live in the third courtyard next to you. If you have any questions, feel free to find me."

Li Kaiyan said with a smile.

"No problem."

Ling Chen nodded.

Li Kaiyan stared at Ling Chen for a while before coming over and asking, "White-haired Brother, can you tell me how you managed to kill an Emperor? You’re really amazing! Even our clan’s strongest prodigy, Brother Xuan Kong, couldn’t do that. At that time, he could only fight an Emperor to a standstill."

Ling Chen said, "You’re only at the King Realm, right?"

"Yes!"

Li Kaiyan nodded.

"When you reach the quasi-Emperor realm, I’ll tell you how, okay? So you can defeat an Emperor too!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

"Really?!"

Li Kaiyan nearly jumped for joy, "White-haired Brother, let’s make a pinky promise! Only a puppy would lie!"

"Alright, pinky promise!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

After the ceremony was completed, Li Kaiyan clenched her small fists, saying, "White-haired Brother, I will definitely cultivate diligently. When I grow up, I’ll be as powerful as you! No, even more powerful!"

"Hmm, brother will be waiting for you!"

Ling Chen nodded.

The little girl joyfully ran off to the third courtyard to cultivate.

Entering the courtyard.

Ling Chen familiarized himself a bit with the layout and then entered the secret chamber to begin studying the seventh form of the Green Lotus Sword Manual.

This form is comparable to a low-grade Emperor Spirit Technique.

Yet, only those who reach the one-star Emperor can cultivate the Emperor Spirit Technique.

The minimum requirement is to grasp ten percent of Heaven and Earth Power.

Thus, even if Ling Chen wanted to cultivate it now, it was impossible.

Ling Chen conducted some research.

Then discovered that the difficulty of the Emperor Spirit Technique was over a hundred times greater than that of the Emperor Spirit Art.

Just understanding it would take an unknown amount of time.

In the face of the Emperor Spirit Technique, the ease he felt when cultivating Spirit Arts before no longer existed.

Even an Emperor Realm Divine Soul was of no avail.

...

The next day.

Emperor Haotian descended once more.

He brought Ling Chen, Li Qiushui, and Li Changtian to a water pool in the shape of a lotus flower.

Upon entering this place.

Ling Chen felt it was entirely different from the outside world.

He even felt that Heaven and Earth Power was more distinct.

He could casually manipulate more of it.

Upon reaching the Emperor Realm level.

The main focus of cultivation is Heaven and Earth Power.

Spiritual power is secondary.

Spiritual Power Practitioners, after stepping into the Heavenly Passage Realm, need to use spiritual power to draw Heaven and Earth Power.

Whereas Divine Thought Masters rely on the Emperor Realm Divine Soul to sense Heaven and Earth Power.

While both cultivate Heaven and Earth Power.

The methods are completely different.

These two different cultivation methods result in a reversal of cultivation speed.

Below the Emperor Realm, Spiritual Power Practitioners have the advantage in cultivation speed.

But upon reaching the Emperor Realm, Divine Thought Masters have faster cultivation speed.

For no other reason.

Divine Thought Masters have strong souls, making it easier to sense Heaven and Earth Power.

A sudden insight might elevate a large amount of Heaven and Earth Power.

Whereas Spiritual Power Practitioners are slower.

They need to use spiritual power to draw Heaven and Earth Power.

This method hardly allows for shortcuts.

They can only attempt time and again, making spiritual power more harmonious with Heaven and Earth Power.

Of course, the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to control Heaven and Earth Power.

Both Divine Thought Masters and Spiritual Power Practitioners are the same in this regard.

"This is the Pocket World Technique!"

Emperor Haotian transmitted a message into the Green Lotus Mark of the three.

The Green Lotus Mark not only identifies identity but can also transmit information.

Even Emperor Spirit Techniques can be passed on in this way.

"This technique is a secret technique on how to ascend to being an Emperor. Using this should assist you in breaking through. Once you’ve fully mastered this technique, you can enter the Ascension Pool to cultivate."

After saying this, Emperor Haotian disappeared.

Ling Chen also didn’t notice.

At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on the Pocket World Technique.
