Chapter 18: The Peak of Foundation Establishment, A New Innate Divine Ability
Inside the source pool, Lin Shanhai was currently filled with amazement. The python's bloodline within him was going crazy, as if it had unleashed its full power, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy from the source pool.
After one quarter of an hour, Lin Shanhai's early Foundation Establishment cultivation had become completely stable, and his aura had grown significantly. By the poolside, Nangong Wuji's expression remained unchanged. For any Foundation Establishment Realm Expert who entered the source pool, staying for a quarter of an hour was not a big deal.
Half an hour passed, and Lin Shanhai's cultivation and aura increased in speed, instead of slowing down. Nangong Wuji remained calm; any Foundation Establishment Realm Expert with some potential could achieve this step.
Two hours later, Lin Shanhai's aura had already exceeded the early Foundation Establishment Realm and was steadily advancing towards the peak.
Outside the source pool, Nangong Wuji looked at Lin Shanhai within, his expression showing signs of astonishment. Two hours, as far as records in Nine Peaks Sect's source pool were concerned, was already an impressive display of talent.
It was clear that Lin Shanhai possessed at least a mid-tier Fourth Rank spiritual root.
Three hours, four hours, five hours passed, and within the source pool, Lin Shanhai had already achieved the pinnacle of the early Foundation Establishment Realm.
Nangong Wuji couldn't maintain his composure any longer. What was happening? In five hours, his spiritual root talent had risen to at least the Fifth Rank.
Among Nine Peaks Sect's standards, this was considered upper-tier. The issue was that the water in the source pool was depleting much faster than usual, over five times the normal rate.
At last, in the sixth hour, within the source pool, Lin Shanhai's aura suddenly skyrocketed. He had reached the Middle Layer of Foundation Establishment!
Inside the source pool, feeling the newfound power after his breakthrough, Lin Shanhai's lips curled slightly, and a smile crept across his face. However, after estimating the time he had spent in the source pool, his smile gradually faded.
He sensed that the Python Seed's ability was exceptional; while others had a limit on how much spiritual energy they could absorb and refine based on their talent, the Python Seed seemed exempt from such restrictions. As long as he wished, he could stay indefinitely, depleting the source pool entirely.
Lin Shanhai surmised that if he continued, he might even break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment in one go.
Of course, Nine Peaks Sect wouldn't allow such behavior. Given the current circumstances, a six-hour stay was not overly remarkable. Nine Peaks Sect would only consider him a neglected genius. But that was it.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
If he exceeded eight hours, it would be a slap in Nine Peaks Sect's face, which was not in the Lin family's best interest. The former might be recruited, but the latter would likely bring suppression.
Feeling Lin Shanhai emerging from the pool, Nangong Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. While he was surprised at Lin Shanhai's time in the source pool, his reaction was just that—surprise.
The previous longest record of the leaders of the Foundation Establishment powers from outside in the source pool was four hours, and Lin Shanhai had broken that record. However, within Nine Peaks Sect, this record was only considered upper-tier. Every few years, some disciples achieved this feat.
What truly bothered Nangong Wuji was that, for some unknown reason, the water in the source pool was being consumed at an unprecedented rate. It seemed that it would take several years for this level of consumption to recover.
"Congratulations, Daoist Lin, on advancing further on the path of Foundation Establishment," Nangong Wuji said as he watched Lin Shanhai emerge from the pool, his attitude now ten times warmer than it had been initially.
…
On the other side, in the Azure Heaven Mountain Lake, inside the Pool of Shedding Mortality. Lin Xuan's body, already in the midst of a transformation, suddenly exuded a continuous and strange power that helped him complete his final transformation.
At this moment, if any Lin family member sensed Lin Xuan's aura, they would undoubtedly be shocked. In just three days, Lin Xuan's cultivation had soared from the early Foundation Establishment Realm to the pinnacle of the Late Foundation Establishment Realm.
It appeared that he was only one step away from breaking through to the peak of Foundation Establishment and aiming for the Golden Core realm. Furthermore, Lin Xuan's originally gray body had now turned into a mysterious black-and-white hue, covered in glossy, gleaming black scales.
His original height of 430 feet had surged to over 980 feet, making him appear like a colossal beast, exuding a truly imposing presence.
Before long, six hours had passed in the Pool of Shedding Mortality. At the moment when the special energy form was entirely absorbed.
"Boom!"
Lin Xuan's body suddenly erupted with an unparalleled aura, and he also broke through to the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Realm. At this very moment, the previously slumbering Lin Xuan finally opened his eyes. His once-black pupils had now turned into a resplendent gold, emitting an aura of nobility. Sensing the earth-shattering changes within himself, Lin Xuan was mildly surprised.
