Taibai Mountain.
Since the spirit gathering formation was generated, countless demon beasts have fallen into madness, each starting to cultivate frantically, wanting to improve their strength.
It wasn't that they were diligent, but the spiritual gathering formation's attraction to them was too immense.
If they didn't seize the time to cultivate while guarding such a good thing, what kind of behavior would that be!
And as they began to cultivate.
At this time.
Ao Yuan, who was deep in the Dragon Palace, also let out a long sigh of relief.
During this period, for the ancient battlefield, he first upgraded his own level by one tier using evolution points.
Apart from that, Ao Yuan poured all the remaining evolution points into the lottery with one go.
Although most of the prizes were still of little use to Ao Yuan, just like before.
However.
With a massive amount of evolution points, he still managed to draw some good things.
For example, the Reverse Blood Pill!
As the name suggests, it uses the reversal of the entire body's blood and qi to break through one's own limits and reach a higher realm.
If it were used by many demon kings, it would be enough to elevate their realms to the Spirit Sea realm.
And if Ao Yuan used it, it would be enough to raise his strength by one tier, reaching the Tongling realm!
Although Ao Yuan believed that with his Spirit Sea realm combined with the talent of the Dragon race, he could already dominate in Great Xia.
But having it was always better than not having it.
After all, he wasn't sure if he would encounter anything terrifying.
"This lottery finally wasn't in vain."
Ao Yuan looked at a blood-red pill in his claws and exhaled slightly.
"It's just that the side effects are a bit..."
Ao Yuan carefully read the system description again and couldn't help but frown.
The Reverse Blood Pill could increase one's strength after consumption.
But afterward, it would render the user weak for a full day.
This meant that for this day, Ao Yuan would be comparable to an ordinary person, losing all his cultivation, with only the Dragon race's physique remaining.
"Forget it, forget it, at least it's a life-saving artifact."
"Dai Dai!"
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed from behind Ao Yuan, and Dai Xiaomei walked in quickly.
"What is it?" Ao Yuan asked, looking at Dai Xiaomei.
"That... Han Yibang is here. Do you want to see him?"
"See him for what?" Ao Yuan said with some impatience.
"He was brought by Elder Long. He said he wanted to discuss some matters with you."
"Alright!"
"Take me up."
...
At the foot of Taibai Mountain.
Elder Long, leading Han Yibang, slowly walked towards the Heavenly Pool area.
Along the way, what he saw and heard on Taibai Mountain made him very uneasy.
The extremely dense demonic energy permeating the air and the various demon beasts visible everywhere filled him with terror.
He was the leader of the Stick Country and had seen many demon beasts.
But when had he ever seen so many demon beasts gathered together!
He had no doubt that if he made his voice a little louder and disturbed these demon beasts.
They would not care about his status as the leader of the Stick Country.
What made him even more apprehensive was the strength of these demon beasts.
He hadn't not come to Taibai Mountain a while ago, but had Taibai Mountain ever had so many powerful demon beasts at that time?
"Heavens, this is too terrifying!"
"If these demon beasts were to move out collectively under Ao Yuan's leadership, even the entire Stick Country would not be able to resist, right?"
As he walked, Han Yibang's face was filled with fear.
On the other hand, Elder Long's expression was as usual, occasionally greeting these demon beasts as if he were returning home.
This made Han Yibang's heart tremble even more.
He never expected that Great Xia and these demon beasts would have such a good relationship.
Before long, the two had reached the vicinity of the Heavenly Pool.
It was very quiet here, without the clamor of the demon beasts below.
But the demonic energy emanating from the area made Han Yibang almost kneel.
Because the demon beasts near the Heavenly Pool were all demon kings of immense size!
"Elder... Elder Long, are we still going forward?" Looking at the surrounding demon kings, Han Yibang hesitated, completely afraid to step forward.
"What are you afraid of?" Elder Long smiled and stepped directly into the Heavenly Pool area.
Seeing this, Han Yibang gritted his teeth and had no choice but to follow.
As soon as he entered this area, he felt the demonic energy emanating from the bodies of each demon king, and his face turned pale.
Too terrifying!
The aura of each demon king here was far more terrifying than that of the strongest warriors in the Stick Country.
Fortunately, these demon kings treated them as air. If all their gazes were directed at them, Han Yibang felt that he would probably be so scared that he would kneel on the spot.
"Don't you notice something different here?" Elder Long looked at Han Yibang and said.
"What's different?" Han Yibang forced a smile that looked more like crying than laughing.
If he had known earlier that these demon kings were all near the Heavenly Pool, he would never have come up.
It was terrifying, truly too terrifying.
"Spiritual energy," Elder Long said with half-closed eyes.
Han Yibang paused. After a slight perception, his expression changed.
Without Elder Long mentioning it, he was too scared to think too much.
But with Elder Long's words, he instantly noticed something was wrong.
After entering the Heavenly Pool, he found that the spiritual energy was more than one level denser than outside.
Even the spiritual energy within the spirit gathering formation he had seen before was slightly weaker than here.
"Where is this?"
"The location of the spirit gathering formation?"
Han Yibang was stunned for a moment before tentatively asking.
When he saw Elder Long nod slightly, his eyes fixed on the front, and he froze.
The information from Elder Long's words was too much.
After a long time.
He looked at Elder Long and said with a trembling voice, "Elder... Elder Long, the lake covered by the location of the first spirit gathering formation that Minister Bai mentioned earlier..."
"No... could it be the Heavenly Pool?"
"That's right!"
"???"
Even Han Yibang, who was terrified by the sight of many demon kings, was stunned by this statement.
Heavenly Pool?
He originally thought that even if this spirit gathering formation was within the scope of Taibai Mountain or in other aspects, it would not be comparable to the spirit gathering formations he had seen.
But he never expected that the coverage of this spirit gathering formation would be so extensive!
After all, this is the Heavenly Pool!
The entire Heavenly Pool is very large!
"Mr. Han, isn't this first spirit gathering formation imperfect?"
"Perfect, too perfect!"
Han Yibang's throat rolled as he immediately said.
At the same time, he suppressed the shock in his heart.
This time, he must gain Ao Yuan's forgiveness.
He could only hope that it wasn't too late to mend his ways.
And as the two were talking.
A sky-high water pillar suddenly surged from the Heavenly Pool.
And at the top of the water pillar, there was a figure.
This figure was none other than Ao Yuan!
Upon seeing Ao Yuan, Han Yibang trembled immediately.
Finally, he saw Ao Yuan again!
This time, he must fawn over him properly!
Ao Yuan, on the other hand, showed no change in his expression.
"Dragon God, please accept my bow!"
Suddenly, Han Yibang spoke loudly and immediately knelt down and bowed to Ao Yuan.
