"Good boy, you're amazing!"
Long Chen was overjoyed. He had been worried that the world's source power here wouldn't be enough, but now the old man showed up. Truly sleepy and someone brings him a pillow.
Long Chen was now growing even more impressed by the old sweeper. Sure enough, today's misfortune could be tomorrow's good thing.
If the academy hadn't released the two old ghosts, how could they have schemed against him here?
"Boom boom boom... Long Chen's
skin flushed red. Endless world source energy surged into his body—the most primal power of a world.
Long Chen had encountered this before when he was on the Tianwu Continent, where the continent had given him all its power, asking him to protect its inhabitants.
Although the source energy of the Immortal Realm world had changed qualitatively from that of the Tianwu Continent, Long Chen still remembered that aura.
And for some reason, Long Chen felt an inexplicable affinity for the primordial power of this world.
Although the world's source energy surged back and forth, as if it might tear him apart, when it entered Long Chen's body, it was so gentle, continuously stirring every inch of his flesh and blood.
World source power can awaken the innate power a person has been inherited since birth; it is true primal power and is crucial for cultivators.
Moreover, as the world's source energy entered his body, Long Chen felt his essence blood being frantically purified, his flesh and blood power rapidly increasing. On his arm, a fire dragon and a thunder dragon appeared, and they began to frantically absorb the world's source energy.
You have to understand, this power is the source of all things; thunder and fire are just a part of it. For fire dragons and thunder dragons, this power is also a great tonic.
Every move Long Chen made was clearly observed by the old man. He was shocked. He had already opened seven gates, while ordinary experts could only open one. If all three gates were opened at once, he would be instantly dead.
Long Chen activated seven more and was still able to hold on. Seeing two dragon patterns flicker on his arms, the old man snorted coldly, the formation disk in his hand trembled, and he opened ten more gates.
Where Long Chen was, a thunderous explosion erupted. The raging water surged, and Long Chen's body felt as if it had been cut by a knife, showing signs of being torn apart. If it had been anyone else, they would have shattered in an instant.
But Long Chen didn't. On the surface, he gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on, but in reality, he was already overjoyed.
Because as the gate opened, more and more world source energy began to flow toward the 108,000 stars.
Just as Long Chen predicted, as the world's origin power poured into 108,000 stars, each star began to transform from the outside in.
Buzz!
A star trembled violently, then a rune lit up on it, radiating divine light, and finally imprinted itself at the core of that star.
After the star was imprinted with runes, Long Chen could clearly sense that the star's power had gained a trace of immortal spiritual energy, and it seemed he could sense another kind of power within it.
Long Chen's heart pounded wildly. This star had already completed immortality, meaning it was an immortal Dao star. From now on, it could provide a continuous stream of immortal Dao power.
After the first star completed its immortal transformation, the second star followed... The third ... The fourth ... The tenth.
Watching the stars light up one by one, completing their immortal transformation, and feeling their immortal aura, Long Chen almost shouted with excitement.
But Long Chen quickly lost his excitement, because at this pace, even three days and nights wouldn't be enough to ignite all the stars.
Long Chen had inquired and found that a person could only stay in the Divine Fire Spirit Pool for at most three hours. After three hours, the pool would automatically close. That amount of power was still not enough.
"Old ghost... You can't kill me. I don't believe there's no one here. As long as I can hold out a little longer, if someone finds you, you're finished." Long Chen shouted.
When Long Chen called out, he kept pretending to be nearly exhausted. His acting was truly a real powerhouse, making others think he would soon be unable to hold on.
"Idiot, I set everything up to kill you. No one will find out here. Just wait to die. Do you think dying isn't fast enough? Then I'll give you a little more effort. The old man sneered and opened ten more gates.
"Boom... The
space where Long Chen was trembled violently, but Long Chen was so happy he almost hugged the old man and kissed him twice. More and more stars were igniting, and the happiness was simply indescribable.
Especially when using the enemy's hand to help him work, that bittersweet feeling is unforgettable for a lifetime.
"Pfft!"
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Long Chen still managed to squeeze out a mouthful of fresh blood and roared, "Old ghost, your father is incredibly skilled! You can't kill me, but as long as I hold out for three hours, you're dead." "
Because the resources of the Divine Fire Spirit Pool are extremely limited, one person can only stay here for at most three hours. When that time is up, they will be teleported out.
Now, judging the time, it was about one hour in total, with two hours remaining. In fact, Long Chen was even more anxious than the old man, because so far he had only lit up a little over three thousand stars, which was far too slow.
If this continued, time would run out. If it didn't go up or down, it would be too uncomfortable, so he started to provoke the old man.
The old man snorted coldly and began to slowly activate the formation disk. His heart was filled with shock. How could Long Chen's body be so terrifying, yet still not shattered?
He started adding more gates again, but this time, he didn't dare open them all at once, because opening too many would cause the flow in the Divine Fire Spirit Pool to skyrocket. If anything unusual was discovered, it would be troublesome.
So now he could only add them one by one. Soon, the number of valves had grown to fifty, yet Long Chen was still lively and undead.
When the number of valves reached one hundred, Long Chen "fainted" several times, but before long, he came back to life, nearly smashing the array disk in his hand with anger. Long Chen seemed to have adapted very quickly, quickly adjusting to the new strength.
Sweat broke out on the old man's forehead. He had never witnessed anything so bizarre in his life. Long Chen was practically immortal, and even he felt fear.
Time passed bit by bit, and the number of gates increased to 150, yet Long Chen remained barely alive, yet he still didn't die.
The old man finally sensed something was wrong. Long Chen's barely breathing state had lasted too long, and he began to suspect something.
He believed that Long Chen might possess something special that could help him gradually adapt to the power of the Divine Fire Spirit Pool. If this continued, time would soon run out, and Long Chen was still alive. His plan was about to fail.
"Damn it, go to hell!" The old man suddenly gritted his teeth, roared angrily, activated all the runes on the array disk, and then vanished in an instant.
"Boom!"
Long Chen felt the Divine Fire Spirit Pool explode in an instant, endless world source power surging toward him, like a volcano erupting to burst him apart.
