Chapter 974 Heavenly Immortal Pond
Xu Nian flew swiftly in the direction of the Earth Immortal expert.
While flying, Xu Nian noticed many strong individuals converging towards the same location as him.
This piqued Xu Nian's curiosity even more.
What exactly is ahead?
He really wanted to catch someone and ask what they were rushing to do.
But outside the city, he could typically only inquire from those weaker than him.
Otherwise, if someone decided to attack him, he might not really withstand it.
"Whoosh!"
As Xu Nian searched for a suitable target, a piercing sound came from afar.
He saw a woman advancing in that direction beside him.
"It's her." Xu Nian's eyes lit up, and he immediately chose her as the person to question.
Not for any other reason, but because her cultivation was only at the peak of Tribulation Crossing.
Currently, she was the lowest in cultivation that Xu Nian had discovered.
"Whoosh!"
With a flash, Xu Nian appeared in front of her.
She noticed Xu Nian, stopped, and stared at him with displeasure in her eyes.
"Get lost!" the woman shouted softly.
Her voice carried anger and urgency.
Xu Nian frowned; the woman appeared petite but had an unexpectedly fierce personality.
But thinking about it, anyone surviving on the Slaughter Star couldn't be a benign person.
Especially women, who might be fiercer than men.
The woman in front was one of this kind, with a good appearance and seemingly frail physique, but if you really thought she was weak, you might not even know how you died.
"I mean no harm, I just want to ask what's happening ahead that so many powerhouses are heading there." Xu Nian quickly asked.
He didn't want to harm a woman, and if she was willing to answer, he wouldn't bother to make a move.
"Get lost!" the woman showed impatience and a heavy axe appeared in her hand, swinging it at Xu Nian.
The axe light seemed to tear the sky apart, as if it were about to split Xu Nian in two.
Xu Nian frowned, attacking without a word?
Is he seen as a weakling?
"Humph!"
Xu Nian snorted coldly, then threw a punch.
Six earthen-yellow rings appeared, the punch stirring up a gale, earthshaking.
"Boom!"
Xu Nian's punch shattered the axe light.
His figure swayed in the wild wind, unmovable.
"Oh?"
The woman finally realized the man's extraordinary nature, being able to withstand her axe showed he was not weak.
A late-stage Heavenly Phenomenon Realm with combat power not inferior to hers, how was this possible?
"I meant no harm, I just want to know what's happening ahead," Xu Nian continued to ask.
Seeing Xu Nian truly had no ill intention, the woman put away her giant axe, looked at Xu Nian and said, "The Heavenly Immortal Pond has opened! Now everyone on the Slaughter Star is heading there, if anyone, especially an Earth Immortal expert, can enter, they might shatter the void and ascend to the Immortal Realm."
"Heavenly Immortal Pond? What's that?" Xu Nian hurriedly asked.
Upon hearing this, the woman wielding the heavy axe looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Talk as we walk," she tossed out, ignoring Xu Nian, and continued flying forward.
Xu Nian didn't hesitate, hurriedly following.
"The Heavenly Immortal Pond is one of the major treasures on Slaughter Star besides the Nine Great Profound Argumentation Tower, but this pond only opens once a year for three days, and the location is random," she explained.
"Random? Does the pond water grow legs or something?" Xu Nian asked with incredulity.
The woman rolled her eyes at him again, explaining helplessly, "Who told you the Heavenly Immortal Pond is just water? It's a place filled with Immortal Qi, covering about ten kilometers, that's why everyone calls it the Heavenly Immortal Pond."
"Immortal Qi!" Xu Nian's eyes widened.
Appearing in the Mortal World, how was that possible?
"Don't be surprised, do you think the Earth Immortals gather here just for the Profound Argumentation Tower? Many Earth Immortal experts come for this Heavenly Immortal Pond because many Earth Immortal Peak experts are just one step from shattering the void, and absorbing this Immortal Qi could help them achieve the Immortal Golden Body, allowing them to shatter the void and ascend. Of course, those not at Earth Immortal Peak can also cultivate for one day inside, equivalent to a thousand days outside," she elaborated.
With a sudden realization, Xu Nian understood.
The quality of Immortal Qi is far superior to Spiritual Energy.
Although many cannot directly absorb it, they can convert it to Spiritual Energy to absorb it.
Even with an extra conversion step, the cultivation speed is much faster than outside.
"No wonder so many people are heading there, it's for the Immortal Qi," Xu Nian mused.
But this was also good news for him.
He desperately needed a large amount of energy to break through.
If he could absorb Immortal Qi, he might really break through the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
Thinking this, Xu Nian's eyes shone brightly.
The woman seemed to notice Xu Nian's thoughts and coldly hummed, "Don't get too happy, the Heavenly Immortal Pond only spans ten kilometers, and Slaughter Star has over thirty thousand Earth Immortal experts, not to mention those in the Tribulation Crossing stage. The Immortal Qi is limited, we might not even be able to enter."
The seriousness in her tone was evident.
Actually, she had little confidence in entering the Heavenly Immortal Pond herself.
There were too many powerhouses, going might be a death sentence.
Xu Nian nodded slightly, acknowledging the truth in her words.
Powerhouses were abundant; those in Tribulation Crossing would mostly face death.
But Xu Nian wouldn't give up easily; he had often snatched chances from danger.
"By the way, I don't know your name? How about we join forces," Xu Nian suggested with a smile.
The woman's strength was considerable, even among those at the peak of Tribulation Crossing.
Given her willingness to share so much, she didn't seem ill-intentioned.
Thus, Xu Nian considered collaborating with her.
He doubted an Earth Immortal Realm ally would take an interest in him.
"Collaborate?" The woman looked him over once more.
She couldn't gauge Xu Nian's strength at all.
But she was sure his power was at least equal to hers.
"Yes, collaborate. I'm Liuxing, let's team up to enter the Heavenly Immortal Pond," Xu Nian continued smiling.
After a moment of silence, the woman replied, "Alright, I'll team up with you, just call me Xue Fu."
"Xue Fu?" Xu Nian examined her again, amused.
Such a domineering name was starkly mismatched with her petite frame!
