Chapter 53: Blood Stains the Cold Pool
Next, Tan Yun did not continue his cultivation. He murmured to himself, "I've been on the run for five days, and I've arrived at the Spirit Spring. After cultivating for eighteen days, there are only seven days left until the duel with Ye Tian."
"Subtracting at least four days needed to return to the sect, I can only stay in the Snowy Domain Fierce Valley for three more days at most."
Tan Yun stood up and left the Spirit Spring, releasing the Bloodwing Spirit Lion from the Spirit Beast Bag.
Although it had been 48 days since the Bloodwing Spirit Lion was heavily injured by the snowy domain demon ape, the wound on its chest was still a horrifying sight.
"Roar!" The lethargic Bloodwing Spirit Lion, upon smelling the pure and rich heaven and earth spiritual energy in the air, revealed a human-like excitement in its giant eyes.
It trembled as it got up, its mountain-like body approaching the Spirit Spring, looking down at the spiritual liquid within, its gaze filled with extreme fervor.
"The spiritual liquid will dissipate as soon as it leaves the Spirit Spring. Big guy, enjoy it to your heart's content!" As soon as Tan Yun finished speaking, the Bloodwing Spirit Lion lowered its head, excitedly swallowing the spiritual liquid into its belly before crawling in front of Tan Yun, letting out a grateful roar.
Tan Yun gently stroked its head and smiled, saying, "From now on, you are not allowed to take risks without my orders. Also, in the future, I will help you transform and become stronger than even a divine dragon!"
"Roar roar roar!" The massive head of the Bloodwing Spirit Lion kept rubbing against Tan Yun's body, its voice filled with an unspoken excitement.
"Alright, you stay in the Spirit Beast Bag and rest. I hope that after swallowing the spiritual liquid, you can quickly advance to the adult stage." Tan Yun said as he returned the Bloodwing Spirit Lion to the Spirit Beast Bag.
Then, he approached the wall opposite, and the Spirit Spring sealing array erupted with a burst of light, enveloping Tan Yun. In the next moment, Tan Yun left the Spirit Spring, emerging from a massive crack.
Tan Yun swam quickly out of the crack, releasing his spiritual sense to the fullest at the bottom of the Cold Pool, extending an invisible wave of spiritual sense like a tide around him.
Three hundred zhang... five li... eight li... Soon, it exceeded the eleven li radius of the unadvanced ninth layer realm, stopping only when it covered a radius of fifteen li.
This meant that his soul was 50% stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm!
With such a powerful soul, the power of the primordial divine eye would undoubtedly increase greatly!
Tan Yun kicked with his feet and shot upwards at high speed. To avoid unnecessary entanglements, he released a powerful aura that sent the demon beasts fleeing in extreme terror!
As Tan Yun's strength increased, coupled with the enormous buoyancy, his speed surged. In a moment, he left the bottom of the pool.
The terrain in the water of the Fierce Valley Cold Pool was like an enormous bottle; the bottom was vast, while the upper area spanned only a radius of thirty li.
While swimming toward the surface of the pool, Tan Yun did not let any area go unchecked in his search for enemies pursuing him. Every time he ascended fifteen li of water, he would dart back and forth within the thirty li radius!
After two full hours of finding nothing, Tan Yun suddenly shook his spirit and discovered through his spiritual sense that in a water area thirteen li above, ten disciples at the great perfection of spirit embryo realm, wielding swords, were cursing as they delved deeper:
"Brothers, I think this brat Tan Yun has long since died. Searching any further is pointless!"
"Yeah! He's just an ant at the eighth layer of spirit embryo realm. Who would believe he could survive eighteen days at the bottom of the pool? Do they think the demon beasts down there are blind?"
