Shui Qingyue looked at Su Luo haughtily, "You still know? Hmph, you have some foresight."
Gazing at the lotus glass lamp in her hand, which was as if sculpted from crystal, she curved her lips into a triumphant, cold smile.
"Although my Grand Purity Holy Land doesn't have divine beasts like your Pure Void Heaven, we do possess divine artifacts."
She walked towards Li Tianjue and Su Luo, a deep meaning flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Brother Li, if I weren't prepared, how would I dare to come to Giant King City with you? You underestimate me, Shui Qingyue.
I kept asking if you were willing to help me, but it was merely a test. If you truly cared for me, what's the harm in sharing some of the Spring of Life and these gems with you? But you completely disregard my feelings."
Raising the lotus glass lamp in her hand, Shui Qingyue laughed with hatred, "All of you, do you see? This is the divine artifact of my Grand Purity Holy Land – the Lotus Glass Lamp! As long as you are under its divine radiance, everyone except this Saintess will be powerless to resist.
If this Saintess wishes for someone to die, they will not live another moment."
A sharp gaze swept over, landing on Su Luo.
Su Luo hadn't expected this divine artifact to be with Shui Qingyue.
However, she remained calm, looking at Shui Qingyue and saying lightly, "You want to kill me?"
Shui Qingyue's face darkened, and she sneered, "Su Luo, who do you think you are! How shameless, you lowly creature, to be clinging to Brother Li in front of this Saintess. If I didn't consider that you are from Pure Void Heaven, this Saintess would have killed you long ago!"
Shangguan Hanyu, standing nearby, shouted, "Senior Sister, kill this stinky girl!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Tianjue's pupils darkened, and a sharp aura was released. Shangguan Hanyu, caught off guard, was flung backward, crashing heavily to the ground. His chest felt as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer, and he was in so much pain he almost passed out.
"You'd best be polite when you speak," Li Tianjue said coldly.
Shui Qingyue's expression shifted slightly. She hadn't expected him to have the power to resist even while enveloped by the light of the Lotus Glass Lamp. She quickly channeled her spiritual energy into the lamp, and the golden radiance intensified.
The majestic and sacred light enveloped an area of ten zhang.
It not only completely dispersed Li Tianjue's pressure but also thoroughly suppressed the powers of Shang Xie Shaoqing, the restless Dragon Hound, and the Chi Dragon.
Only then did Shui Qingyue feel somewhat relieved. She looked at Li Tianjue meaningfully and said, "Brother Li, I don't want to fall out with you. You'd best not force my hand."
After speaking, she exchanged a glance and said, "Elder Sun!"
Elder Sun's face was flushed with excitement. He loudly declared, "Everyone, move immediately and capture the gem frogs. Be careful not to harm them. Especially the Spring of Life, collect it all. Not a single drop must be left. This is a treasure of our Grand Purity Holy Land, and it cannot be left for others to benefit from."
A group of disciples from the Grand Purity Holy Land responded and rushed towards the pool.
They took out various containers for water and began filling them with the Spring of Life, which exuded ethereal spiritual energy. Their faces were filled with excitement. In their fervor, water splashed everywhere, and some couldn't help but lick it.
"Croak! Croak! Croak..."
The gem frogs, seeing people trying to catch them, immediately leaped away, prompting a few disciples to give chase, like a hunt.
Su Luo stood in place, silent, her gaze fixed on the Spring of Life not far away.
She hadn't acted because she had sensed something long ago.
Under her Divine Eye Mirror, the characteristics of this spring water were clearly displayed... it was not something that could be enjoyed easily!
Shang Xie Shaoqing, however, was unaware. Seeing Su Luo's calm expression, he became anxious and repeatedly called out in his mind, "Great Emperor! Great Emperor, please come out quickly, it's a critical moment..."
But after calling for a long time, the Hao Tian Great Emperor remained silent.
Su Luo turned to look at him, "Hey, Shang Xie Shaoqing, what are you muttering about?"
Shang Xie Shaoqing lowered his voice and replied, "Miss Su, have you forgotten? The Great Emperor! The Great Emperor clearly said before that he would appear when there was danger, but now... I've been calling for a long time, and there's no response."
Recalling the Hao Tian Great Emperor's temperament, although Su Luo was a little surprised, it was within reason.
The dignified Hao Tian Great Emperor was someone who could trap himself in the Soul Nurturing Pearl for tens of thousands of years and still be confused. It was perfectly normal for him to be like this now. She hadn't truly relied on the Great Emperor from the start, and even if there was danger, she could protect herself.
"Don't worry, perhaps there will be a good show later!"
Su Luo's lips curved into a smile.
Li Tianjue, seeing her confidence, seemed to guess something, "What, are you going to use that secret technique of yours again?"
He was referring to the God Conferring Art.
Su Luo's secret technique was so powerful, undetectable, perhaps it could indeed counteract the divine power of the Lotus Glass Lamp.
Su Luo blinked her eyes, "Senior Brother, perhaps I won't need to act."
At this moment...
Several elders of the Grand Purity Holy Land who were filling the Spring of Life by the pool seemed unable to resist the temptation.
They looked at the bottles in their hands, pouring the spring water in and then out, with a splashing sound... The clear spring water splashed out like pearls, and the transparent bubbles reflected seven-colored rainbow light. They all laughed excitedly.
"The Spring of Life... this is the Spring of Life!"
"With the Spring of Life, this old man can live forever, hahaha..."
"This is the great fortune of our Grand Purity Holy Land. With this Spring of Life, even the entire Giant King City will be ours. In no time, the Holy Land will replace Pure Void Heaven, annihilate the Dark Demon Ridge, and become the number one power on the continent!"
Saying this, Elder Sun could no longer restrain himself and began drinking from the bottle's opening.
The spring water was sweet, clear, and cool, with a hint of sweetness. He couldn't help but drink a few more mouthfuls, and upon seeing this, the others also started drinking.
This was the Spring of Life!
Consuming it granted eternal life. Although they were old, they craved long life even more.
The cultivators watched them enjoy the Spring of Life, their hearts burning with envy, but no one dared to move. They were bathed in the light of the Lotus Glass Lamp in Shui Qingyue's hand, rendering them powerless.
"Huh... I, I... how can this be..."
Suddenly, Elder Sun seemed to sense something amiss and looked at his hand.
His originally withered and yellow hand rapidly became full and supple. Not only did his skin become smooth, but the age spots on it also disappeared.
But before Elder Sun could rejoice, he realized that the speed of this change was too rapid!
He rapidly became younger, his gray hair turning black, as if he had returned to his fifties, then to his forties, thirties, and thirties... and he was still getting younger.
Not only him, but the other elders who drank the Spring of Life were also undergoing similar changes.
One of the youngest, an elder who was originally around forty, had already become twenty-something and was continuously growing younger, fifteen... thirteen, ten...
Even his height was shrinking.
He became terrified, "No, no... how can this be?"
Shui Qingyue's expression changed drastically, "How is this possible? The Spring of Life... No—impossible, why did it turn out like this? It was supposed to grant eternal life, why is it making people revert to youth?"
"Wah, wah, wah..." A clear infant's cry rang out.
Shui Qingyue looked at the several naked infants sitting on the ground, nearly fainting.
