Chapter 491: Lightning Pool

In the Dragon Nest, a woman in snow-white clothes stood alone, walking back and forth, clenching her delicate fists, seemingly anxious.

“It’s been Nine Heavens, why hasn’t he returned yet? Nothing unexpected happened, right?”

“Impossible, he’s so abnormal, the Heavenly Tribulation shouldn’t be able to do anything to him, but it’s inevitable that unpredictable things happen…”

Qing Yi muttered to herself, her brows filled with worry.

“Swish!”

Just then, a figure descended from the sky; it was Lin Fan, who not only returned to the Dragon Nest but also held an ancient pool in his hand.

“Oh, you’re back! Are you alright?” Qing Yi was pleasantly surprised, her demeanor transcendent, feeling as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

“What could happen to me? I am the future Heavenly Emperor, eternal and indestructible, destined to rule the rise and fall of the world!” Lin Fan said narcissistically.

Qing Yi’s eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. This guy was too thick-skinned, starting to brag again.

Fortunately, seeing Lin Fan safe and sound, still able to talk and laugh, her originally tense heart relaxed.

Especially the celestial phenomenon a few days ago, with various anomalies and ancient corpses appearing simultaneously, truly startled her.

Because she felt that the person who could cause all these phenomena was probably only Lin Fan.

She just didn’t know what kind of great tribulation the other party had experienced, causing the entire Immortal Ancient to be alarmed and people to be in a state of panic.

“What have you been doing these past few days?” Qing Yi asked carefully.

“Undergoing Tribulation, fighting!” Lin Fan said concisely and casually.

“What? You… have been Undergoing Heavenly Tribulation?!” Qing Yi was shocked, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder, unable to believe it.

Generally speaking, a Lightning Tribulation lasts for several hours, at most not more than half a day, but Lin Fan had been Undergoing Tribulation for a full Nine Heavens, which was astounding.

However, thinking back to the various Heaven and Earth anomalies from before, she somewhat understood; this Heavenly Tribulation was probably beyond imagination.

“It must have been very difficult, very dangerous, right?”

“It was alright, I made it through. Aren’t you disappointed that I didn’t let you become a widow?” Lin Fan smiled, with a hint of impropriety.

Qing Yi glared at him, not wanting to talk to this guy anymore. He was always so unreliable, enough to infuriate anyone.

She believed that even the most elegant and good-natured Fairy would be enraged by such a mouth.

“Don’t be angry, I have a gift for you.” Lin Fan stopped at the right moment and handed her the item in his hand.

It was a pool, not very large, about a foot square, carved from ancient rock, looking very primitive.

“This is…” Qing Yi was surprised, feeling that the pool was very special and unique, with an ancient,沧桑 feel, and even carrying the aura of the Dao of Immortals.

“Lightning Pool!” Lin Fan calmly uttered two words.

However, in Qing Yi’s ears, it was like a sudden explosion, making her feel a bit dizzy, even thinking she had misheard.

But when she looked at the liquid in the ancient pool, she was stunned, realizing she hadn’t misheard; it truly was the Lightning Pool.

Because the liquid contained within was too vast, glowing red like jade marrow, or like the essence blood of Heaven and Earth, comparable to divine liquid.

Undoubtedly, this was Thunder Tribulation Liquid, fragrant and invigorating, Life Qi born from destruction, the legendary supreme treasure liquid.

Once consumed, it would bring immense benefits to living beings, a peerless fortune.

“That’s not right. Logically, all objects in the Heavenly Tribulation are formed by lightning, so how could there be a physical object?”

Qing Yi was puzzled. She extended her delicate hand to touch it and found that the Lightning Pool was incredibly real and hard, not illusory.

“Nothing is impossible. Everything in the world is an evolution of the Dao, and order and rules are no exception.”

Lin Fan was very calm, with a transcendent aura about him, like a True Immortal of this era, with unparalleled demeanor.

Qing Yi’s large eyes blinked, full of spiritual insight. She asked suspiciously, “I feel… you’re different from before.”

“Is that so? Then do you prefer the me of yesterday or the me of today?” Lin Fan smiled, his teeth very white, gleaming.

Qing Yi felt dizzy. She shouldn’t have said that; this guy could never be serious for more than three seconds and would always revert to his old self.

“This Lightning Pool is too valuable. I can’t take it. You should keep it for your own research.” She shook her head.

Besides, she felt that this item must have been hard-won. A Lightning Tribulation lasting for Nine Heavens was unheard of.

It could be inferred that it must have been extremely perilous, far from as easy as the other party claimed.

In fact, it was true. Lin Fan almost died on the Execution Platform. If not for the sudden burst of unknown power from the Reincarnation Seal at a critical moment to resist, he would have truly been in danger.

Later, when the Lightning Pool descended from Heaven, he almost got beheaded again while trying to seize it. Fortunately, he endured until the Heavenly Tribulation ended.

“With this, you can cultivate and comprehend the Dao, absorbing the Thunder Tribulation Liquid to compensate for Innate deficiencies. Besides, it’s just one Lightning Pool; I’ll have plenty of opportunities to acquire more in the future.”

Lin Fan whispered, explaining the various benefits of the Lightning Pool. It not only contained the aura of destruction but also the Life Qi of the primordial beginning, capable of repairing Innate damage.

He remembered that in a certain place near the Boundary Sea, there was a Lightning Abyss with a large number of Lightning Pools.

Moreover, there were even better ones than the one in his hand, with a stronger and more mysterious aura of the Dao of Immortals.

Next, Lin Fan poured a cup of Thunder Tribulation Liquid and had her drink it first to experience its effects.

Immediately, Qing Yi showed surprise, feeling a surge of warmth within her body, her whole body hot, and her blood boiling because of it.

At the same time, light streamed from her seven orifices, uncontrollable. The essence Qi was too intense, gushing out.

“It’s too powerful! This Thunder Tribulation Liquid is even more precious than imagined. No wonder ancient texts record it as comparable to a great medicine, rare in the world!”

Qing Yi was moved. After drinking it, she felt a surge of vitality in her flesh and blood, and her Origin life force became stronger as a result.

“You can try placing the Lightning Pool in your Sea of Consciousness; perhaps you’ll have an unexpected gain.” Lin Fan instructed.

Immediately, Qing Yi did as told. With Lin Fan’s help, she shrunk the ancient pool to its smallest size and merged it into her glabella.

“Chii!”

In an instant, her glabella shone brightly, becoming incomparably sacred, with lightning flashing, but after a moment, it returned to calm.

“How is it?” Lin Fan asked.

“The Lightning Pool has the effect of suppression and isolation. From now on, even if Yue Chan and I are face to face, we will be unable to sense each other.”

Qing Yi showed a faint smile, her delicate brows curved, her eyes filled with poetic charm, beautiful to the extreme, without a single flaw.

For her, this was a good start. Although she was still far from becoming an independent person, it was a kind of hope.

At least, she no longer had to passively accept and inexplicably gain memories that didn’t belong to her.

“Fairy Qing, you see how much I’ve helped you. Shouldn’t you show some appreciation?” Lin Fan approached.

Suddenly, the distance between them became very close; they could both smell each other’s fragrance and feel each other’s warm breath.

“What… what do you want to… do…”

Qing Yi’s face flushed, and she was almost stammering. The other party’s gaze was too intense, as if he wanted to devour her.

At this moment, her heart was pounding, but she was even more afraid that she wouldn’t be able to control herself and would just give up, not caring about anything anymore.

“Ah…”

Suddenly, Qing Yi shrieked, feeling her slender waist being tightly embraced, and then she was lifted off the ground.

“Where are you taking me?”

“We’ve been in the Immortal Ancient for so long, and I haven’t taken you on a proper tour. Today, I’ll elope with you…”
