Chapter 2163: Recharged the Wrong Account

Deep within the floating peaks of the Qi family, beside a mist-covered rock, sat the ancestor Qi Meng, holding a fishing rod.

Before him was a small pond, with fish occasionally swimming by.

Qi Meng wore a calm expression, motionless as a statue. After an unknown length of time, he smiled faintly: "If you have something to ask, just come over directly. No need to test the waters back and forth!"

There was no one before him; it was unclear to whom he was speaking.

Whoosh!

As his words ended, a figure abruptly appeared on the water surface not far away, moving with teleportation-like speed, stirring not even a whisper of wind or a ripple on the water, as if he had been standing there all along.

Beitang Xue, the ancestor of the Beitang family.

"Old Qi, what's the story with the Beauty Pill and that Zhang Xuan?"

Knowing he would certainly ask, Qi Meng smiled faintly: "Shentu Liuxiang is also coming. I'll explain to both of you together!"

As his words ended, another figure appeared on the water surface not far away.

Also an old man.

Another titled Divine King of the Netherworld Imperial City, Shentu Liuxiang.

"Follow me!"

Seeing everyone had arrived, Qi Meng stood up, gently shook himself, and a ripple appeared in the air. The next moment, he appeared before the Moon Purification Pool.

"Can you two tell what changes have occurred in the pool?"

With his hands behind his back, Qi Meng turned around.

"Changes?" The two titled Divine Kings looked forward. After a moment, their expressions changed: "This contains... the blood of a Sovereign?"

The aura of the Moon Purification Pool before them, though chaotic with the mingled auras of various divine beasts and treasures, made it hard to discern specifics in a short time. But these two, standing at the pinnacle of the divine realm, saw the change at a glance.

If the Moon Purification Pool had previously been merely an ordinary body-tempering site, rare in the Netherworld Heaven but still with a few more powerful places to be found across the divine realm,

now, infused with Sovereign blood, it had leaped to become an excellent cultivation holy land second only to the Undying Lava Pool.

"Yes!" Qi Meng nodded. "Can you tell which Sovereign left it?"

"This..." Beitang Xue frowned, his powerful divine sense spreading. Soon, he looked toward Shentu Liuxiang nearby, as if confirming something, and both nodded simultaneously: "Could it be... that one from the Undying Heaven?"

"I think so too!" Qi Meng responded, then gave a bitter smile: "That Zhang Xuan, after coming here to cultivate once, it turned into this! But... although the power here has grown stronger, it's also almost ruined!"

This Moon Purification Pool, now fused with Sovereign blood, had become immensely powerful in spiritual energy, second only to the Undying Lava Pool, but... the power within had also become more狂暴, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.

The Divine Lord sits high above; the essence blood of such a powerhouse is not something just anyone can approach and absorb.

Previously, this pool could enhance the clan members' physical bodies, but now... even a genius like Qi Yue would find it difficult to get close.

It clearly increased in power, yet now it has become waste...

Just thinking about it is frustrating.

Ignoring his lament, the two were shocked upon hearing that this Zhang Xuan had come once and turned it into this, both rendered speechless. "Do you mean... this Zhang Xuan is very likely..."

Now they finally understood why the Qi family went all out to support that Zhang Xuan, even at the cost of offending others—turns out, it was related to the Divine Lord!

Nine Heavens and Nine Divine Lords, plus the Tianzong Divine Lord, there are only ten in the entire divine realm.

Moreover, a few never appear, such as the one in Zizai Heaven, the one in Sword Hut...

In other words, there are at most eight Divine Lords one can come into contact with.

In the divine realm, everyone considers it an honor to have a connection with a Divine Lord. This person came to the Qi family to cultivate and transformed the pool so that no one else can enter...

That fully demonstrates the relationship!

Although their strength is considerable, they are still not much more than ants before a Divine Lord.

"No..." After a moment of shock, Shentu Liuxiang suddenly spoke: "If it were the blood of a Divine Lord, even if this place were not as good as the Undying Lava Pool, it would not be far off. Except for the one he has chosen, even we could not approach... But now it clearly hasn't reached that level; you and I can still absorb its power, which means the blood in the pool is still far from the Divine Lord level!"

How terrifying is a Divine Lord? The weight of a single drop of blood—let alone this floating mountain range, even the entire Youhun Heaven might not be able to bear it!

Now, although the Yueqing Pool has changed, it is far from meeting the standard of a complete transformation, clearly some distance from Divine Lord blood.

"That is exactly what I find puzzling! However, you should have heard something about the situation of the Undying Heaven's lord..." Qi Meng paused, then said.

Recalling some secrets, the two King-level powerhouses could no longer speak.

After a long time, Beitang Xue looked over again: "If the speculation is true, this matter must be reported to His Majesty!"

The 'His Majesty' he referred to was the strongest in Youhun Heaven, Qiankun Mojun.

"The Divine Lord has gone to the Xuanming Sea and cannot be contacted for the time being!" Qi Meng shook his head.

"Xuanming Sea?" The two were startled.

They had no knowledge of this matter.

"He is forging a physical body for the person who appeared in the Youhun Pool a month ago!" Qi Meng said.

"Oh!" The two suddenly understood.

Over a month ago, the Youhun Pool suddenly condensed a human figure with extraordinary talent, attracting the attention of Qiankun Mojun, who did not hesitate to use temporal power to accelerate his progress.

Although his current strength hasn't reached the level of a Title Deity, it is already no weaker than an ordinary Divine King—in fact, it's stronger.

He even went to the trouble of forging a body specifically for him, sparing no effort.

"This is the first time the Demon Emperor has cared so much about an ordinary person..." Shen Tu Liuxiang's face was full of curiosity: "I really wonder what's so special about this person. Could it be a woman?"

Not to mention Divine Kings, in the eyes of the Emperor, even Title Deities are no different from ordinary people.

After all, the so-called 'titles' are granted by him.

For such a powerful being to personally forge a body for an 'ordinary person'—it would be strange not to find it odd.

Having spent countless years with the Demon Lord, he had never seen him do such a thing.

Could it be a woman, stirring the Emperor's mortal heart?

Qi Meng frowned: "Watch your tongue!"

"Haha, just speaking casually..." Shen Tu Liuxiang gave an awkward laugh.

He had no intention of prying into the Emperor's secrets; he was merely curious, and having no one to confide in before, he spoke a little more now that he saw two old friends.

"I know something about this. This person came from the lower realm, but he's not a woman. It seems... the one who gave him power of faith to condense his form has a physique somewhat similar to His Majesty's! That's why his soul didn't scatter. His Majesty helped out of curiosity..."

Bei Tangxue shared the information she knew.

In the Nether Soul Imperial City, the Qiankun Demon Lord basically didn't interfere, and many matters were handled by the three of them. Thus, quite a few people knew secrets that others didn't.

Hearing that it wasn't a woman, the other two nodded simultaneously.

"No matter what relationship this Zhang Xuan has with that Undying Heaven, since it involves the Emperor, it's beyond our presumptuous speculation!"

No longer discussing the Emperor's affairs, Qi Meng said again: "Since you didn't know the news, now that you do, you know what to do without me saying more. Go about your business."

Shen Tu Liuxiang and Bei Tangxue both nodded, flickered, and vanished from the spot.

Title Deities couldn't teleport; the reason they appeared to was because their speed was too fast, beyond the range of the naked eye.

...

Imperial City, Nether Soul Pool.

The guard who had received Zhang Xuan before came again to the pool.

The phantom that had just formed seven days ago was now a circle larger than an ordinary person, even more radiant, with a vigorous aura.

"Even more people are generating faith power—so many Celestial Gods and Deities..."

Swallowing his saliva, the guard shrank his neck.

Earlier, a Title Deity and three ordinary Divine Kings had generated faith power, making the phantom the size of a real person. He had thought further progress almost impossible, but unexpectedly, after seven days, it had still increased considerably.

However, the added faith power came from ordinary Celestial Gods and Deities, so the effect wasn't as pronounced as before.

"The faith power of Celestial Gods and Deities is still weak. If another Divine King were to think of him, I'm afraid this phantom would become the second one here!" nodded the second guard following behind.

"True, but... Divine Kings aren't cabbages. Having three such powerful beings think of him is already terrifying! How could there be more..."

The first guard shook his head with a smile, but before he finished speaking, the phantom before him shook again.

Boom!

It suddenly expanded, the figure that was a circle larger than an ordinary person rapidly increasing, nearly doubling in an instant!

If before it was about 1.7 or 1.8 meters tall, now it exceeded three meters, no weaker than the strongest phantom in the pool!

"This is... the faith power of two Title Deities?"

Their knees went weak, and both experts collapsed to the ground, stunned speechless, feeling they were about to go mad.

Just as they said Divine Kings weren't cabbages and it wasn't easy to gain their thoughts, the faith power of two Title Deities appeared...

In the Nine Heavens of the Divine Realm, there were only about thirty Title Deities in total. On average, each Emperor could at most gain the thoughts of three Title Deities...

Yet this young man had easily achieved that...

What exactly was his background?

For a moment, the two could only tremble, unable to speak.

Though they had speculated before, it now seemed... they still hadn't reached his limit.

...

Arriving near the square and seeing the crowded crowd, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be startled.

The dense figures exceeded his expectations.

Controlling the flying beast, he was about to land on the platform to perform.

Suddenly, his body stiffened, and he immediately felt a warm current surge into his mind. The previously stagnant soul power visibly increased.

Soon, it was about to break through the middle-grade Celestial God realm and冲击 the upper-grade Celestial God.

"What... is this?"

Zhang Xuan blinked, frozen in place.

Could it be... someone had charged faith power to the wrong target?
