Chapter 1507: Chapter 1498: Pool of Despair! Revived!
At the instant the Supreme Elder Song Haiyun of Hall of Sea Gods exploded.
In a relatively secluded spot on the western mountain range of Sunset Island.
Song Chunmei and her disciple Jiang Motian were temporarily arranged to stay here by Song Haiyun earlier.
At this moment, Song Chunmei’s expression flickered uncertainly as she looked at a jade pendant in her hand that shattered into powder. Her brows furrowed tightly, her face somewhat pale, and she murmured, "Impossible, how could this happen?"
This jade pendant was given to Song Chunmei by Song Haiyun, imbued with Song Haiyun’s Divine Sense. Now, it shattered suddenly without warning, indicating Song Haiyun’s death.
Since the Divine Sense within the pendant belonged to Song Haiyun, once he died, the Divine Sense would dissipate immediately, causing the pendant to shatter due to the rapid dispersal.
Seeing the powder in her palm, Song Chunmei took a deep breath. Though unwilling to accept the reality, the pendant shattered in her hand — she had no choice but to believe it.
Song Chunmei knew that if her father Song Haiyun was truly dead, she and Jiang Motian would be in grave danger now.
Song Chunmei glanced at the dying Jiang Motian beside her, grabbed him, and swiftly dashed towards Sunset Island’s harbor. She had to leave Sunset Island immediately.
The large ship from Hall of Sea Gods was docked at Sunset Island’s harbor.
When Song Chunmei brought Jiang Motian to the harbor, everything remained unchanged. She knew the people on Sunset Island hadn’t taken action yet, so she boarded the ship with Jiang Motian without hesitation.
Due to the urgency, those originally on the ship were still on Sunset Island, leaving only a few to guard the ship, with cultivation levels between the First and Second Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm.
These people did not know the relationship between Song Chunmei and Song Haiyun and were unwilling to heed Song Chunmei’s words. Thus, Song Chunmei resorted to killing the guards directly.
With Song Chunmei’s Peak strength at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Creation Realm, handling these few did not pose much difficulty.
Subsequently, Song Chunmei successfully started the ship, maneuvering it quickly away from Sunset Island’s harbor under her control.
Ten minutes after the ship vanished from the harbor, Sunset Island’s ancestor Wu Qingshan arrived, noticing the disappearance of Hall of Sea Gods’ ship which deepened the seriousness in his eyes.
Once Song Chunmei had sailed far enough, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the vast sea meant Sunset Island’s people had no idea which direction she had sailed in, making pursuit nearly impossible.
Song Chunmei, leaving the ship to automatically navigate, went to the deck where she had hurriedly placed Jiang Motian earlier.
According to Song Haiyun, if Jiang Motian’s shattered heart cannot heal, he would only have a few days left to live.
Song Chunmei began to ponder deeply, then a flash of insight struck her, prompting her to carry Jiang Motian to the lowest level of the ship.
Upon reaching the lowest level, they were blocked by a heavy black door.
Song Haiyun had brought Song Chunmei here before, stating the black door required a Nirvana Realm expert to break it open, or to open it blood must be dripped into its groove — only blood from the Songs of Hall of Sea Gods could open it.
Luckily, as Song Haiyun’s illegitimate daughter, Song Chunmei’s blood should also be able to open the black door.
Song Chunmei immediately dripped her blood into the groove, which shone red momentarily.
"Ka! Ka! Ka!—"
The black door slowly opened.
Song Chunmei entered with Jiang Motian beyond the door into a spacious area.
To the right, lay a pool filled with a crimson liquid, and the air was thick with a pungent smell of blood and a chilling aura spread throughout the space.
Song Haiyun had a fondness for researching bizarre secret techniques, and this pool was called the Pool of Despair.
Song Haiyun had brought Song Chunmei here, explaining the pool’s purpose to her.
The crimson liquid was refined from two hundred Peak level Ocean Gathering Realm experts under extreme fear and pain.
Being refined into blood under such conditions definitely filled the liquid with resentment and various negative emotions; it’s no wonder the space felt so eerie.
By refining two hundred experts under extreme conditions and employing special techniques, the Pool of Despair was created.
If a cultivator soaked in the Pool of Despair, their innate talent and body would improve significantly, and naturally, their strength would also increase.
But why is it called the Pool of Despair?
The danger is evident; the resentment and evil qi from two hundred experts are not easily withstood. Without sufficient willpower, those who enter are merely fodder for the pool.
Song Chunmei now had no other choice; she couldn’t watch Jiang Motian die. At this moment, the Pool of Despair was Jiang Motian’s only hope.
"Splash!"
In a moment of hesitation, Song Chunmei pushed Jiang Motian into the Pool of Despair.
"Whirr! Whirr! Whirr!"
As Jiang Motian submerged into the Pool, gusts of chilling wind began to blow within the enclosed space.
The crimson liquid bubbled, and Jiang Motian, previously near death, slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Song Chunmei, he weakly called out, "Master."
Song Chunmei quickly said, "Motian, no matter how painful it gets from now on, you must persevere. Remember that brat who did this to you; you must avenge yourself personally. Think of Lin Xinyi from the Yinming Sect, she’s that brat’s woman — you’ll have your time to toy with her. You have to live!"
Desire for survival instantly flashed in Jiang Motian’s eyes, muttering, "Yes, I must personally kill that ant; I will definitely toy with that ant’s woman..."
"Ah~"
Jiang Motian’s throat suddenly emitted a painful scream as the energies of the pool surged through his body, completely enveloping him in resentment and evil qi, emitting an extremely sinister aura.
A burst of Evil Qi suddenly erupted from Jiang Motian’s body, startling Song Chunmei slightly as she murmured, "Heavenly Sin Physique? Could Motian actually possess it? Such a physique is only awakened under certain conditions — did the Pool of Despair trigger Motian’s Heavenly Sin Physique?"
"Since the aura of his physique resembles the pool, Motian may be fine."
As Jiang Motian’s Heavenly Sin Physique awakened, the pool energy surged into him, swiftly healing his shattered heart and gradually reshaping his body.
Approximately three hours later.
The crimson liquid within the Pool of Despair evaporated completely, and Jiang Motian’s original strength at the Late Stage of Third Heavenly Layer of Divine Thought Realm escalated to Middle Stage of Fourth Heavenly Layer, enhancing his battle prowess significantly.
Jiang Motian emerged from the pool, filled with sinister aura, appearing more brooding and malevolent, laughing darkly, "Brace yourself, brat. Your reinforced body is irrelevant; next time we meet, it’ll be my turn to thoroughly crush you."
