After Shale and Li Chun Qiu teleported away from the Star Tree, Shale set down the Six-Eared Macaque’s body so that they could examine it . As Li Chun Qiu looked it over, he realized something was wrong . He swung his fist, throwing a punch at the corpse . When the blow landed, the Six-Eared Macaque’s body turned to dust .
“How could this happen?” Shale’s face had gone blank with shock . He shook himself, turning to go back to the Star Tree .
Li Chun Qiu stopped him and said, “It is too late to go back now . We’ve been gone for too long, and the creature must have escaped into Outer Sky and disappeared by now . ”
“With Han Sen guarding Star Tree, I don’t think it will have been able to run off so easily,” Shale said .
“If I was unable to detect the real Six-Eared Macaque, I don’t think Han Sen could have done so, either,” Li Chun Qiu said emotionlessly . “And even if he did discover it, do you really think he could stop the Six-Eared Macaque from escaping the Star Tree?”
“It was all my fault . I couldn’t distinguish the fake body from the real one,” Shale said .
Li Chun Qiu shook his head . “There is no need to blame yourself . The Six-Eared Macaque’s fake body was really good . Not even I was able to detect the real one . This blame doesn’t lie on your shoulders . ”
After pausing, Li Chun Qiu provided further comfort by saying, “Outer Sky has countless xenogeneics . You’ll be able to hunt some more creatures soon, but don’t leave just yet . Han Sen will visit the Good Fortune Pool soon . We can go after he does it . ”
Shale nodded . “The Good Fortune Pool will certainly change his power, but it affects every creature differently . I wonder how much Han Sen will benefit from it . ”
“I don’t believe any will receive a benefit as grand as you received,” Li Chun Qiu said flatly .
Han Sen thought Li Chun Qiu and Shale would come looking for the Six-Eared Macaque, but after waiting a while, he didn’t see them return .
The next morning, Han Sen told Little Number Six to guard the Star Tree with the other xenogeneics . Bao’er decided to stay behind as well, and Han Sen headed to the Good Fortune Pool by himself .
Han Sen was in a rush to get to the Good Fortune Pool because he wanted to use it before Exquisite and Li Keer found out about it .
He wanted to use the pool to bring Jadeskin and the Dongxuan Sutra up to half-deified . If the two girls were there, he couldn’t risk using those two geno arts in front of them .
In truth, the Good Fortune Pool wasn’t really a pool at all . It was more like a well . According to what Han Sen knew about it, the water inside the Good Fortune Pool wasn’t really water . It was a fluid created from the remains of dead xenogeneics .
That was what the Very High had told Han Sen, at least . Whether or not it was true, he didn’t know . No one knew for certain what lay at the furthest reaches of the Good Fortune Pool . Not even true god deifieds could reach the bottom .
Although the Very High elites couldn’t physically reach the bottom of the pool, they had analyzed it and determined that it contained the bodies of a giant group of deified xenogeneics . Those powerful deifieds must have died there billions and billions of years ago, and their deified flesh had remained there ever since . Over time, their essence had liquified and filled up the hole of their grave to become the Good Fortune Pool .
The process had worked something like the formation of oil .
Because the Good Fortune Pool had many deified genes inside it, it could reinforce the genes of the creatures that bathed in it .
The benefits that a person received were determined by how long they could stay inside the pool and how much of it they could absorb .
All this information on the Good Fortune Pool was just guesswork on the part of the Very High, though . As for the truth, no one knew for sure .
But when people entered the Good Fortune Pool, some could trigger the water of the pool to create something weird .
Once in the past, a golem had entered the Good Fortune Pool . He reacted with the water, and everyone nearby had a vision of an ancient deified xenogeneic hitting a sky statue . Because of this weird vision, that golem seemed to absorb far more water than other creatures . The water seeped all the way through his body, and then the golem went on to achieve so much . It almost became a true god . Although it failed in the end, it was a miracle that a golem had been able to accomplish as much as it did .
Han Sen didn’t expect himself to be able to trigger some sort of vision . He merely hoped to absorb as much Good Fortune Pool water as he could .
The Very High theorized that the reason some people could trigger the strange scenes inside the Good Fortune Pool was because they could reach the deeper parts of the pool . When the swimmer encountered the remains of beings whose power operated on the same wavelength as his own, a vision could be triggered .
The bloodline of the humans was derived from the crystallizers, and the history of the crystallizers didn’t go back very far . There was no way they had reached the Outer Sky all that time ago, only to end up buried inside the Good Fortune Pool . So, Han Sen didn’t think his presence would activate a vision .
According to the Very High, the Good Fortune Water accumulated as the deified genes in the grave began to mutate . Those mutations always yielded something good .
Of course, if someone absorbed too much and mutated too far, it might harm their bodies . The key was in how much one could take . Overindulging in the water was risky . If a person took too little, the changes in his body wouldn’t be obvious . In regards to how much they should take, it all depended on the swimmer’s fitness and durability .
Han Sen stood outside the palace that housed the Good Fortune Pool . He didn’t see Li Chun Qiu, but Shale was also standing outside the palace . It looked as if the lion-headed man might have been waiting for him .
“Brother Shale, can I use the Good Fortune Pool now?” Han Sen handed the Good Fortune Spell to Shale .
“Of course . I was waiting here so I could open the Good Fortune Hall for you,” Shale said . He accepted Han Sen’s Good Fortune Spell, then took out a similar spell of his own . He slid the two spells into the locks on the door .
Katchcha!
The Good Fortune Hall’s door slowly opened . Shale made a welcoming gesture and said, “I hope you can use the Good Fortune Pool to gain strength and become deified . ”
“I hope so as well, Brother Shale . I’m going in now . ” Han Sen gave the man a nod and walked into the Good Fortune Hall .
In the center of the palace, there was a pool made of jade stone . The water was utterly still, without a single wave or ripple upon the surface . The water should have been transparent, but because the pool was so deep, it was completely dark . It looked like a portal to hell .
Although the pool was as calm as a deep well, Han Sen could feel the scary presence coming from it . The quiet pool of water was surging with energy like an erupting volcano . It was hundreds of thousands of times scarier than the lifeforce of a deified creature . Just standing next to the pool, Han Sen felt as if his body would melt .
“What an insanely powerful lifeforce . No wonder this Good Fortune Pool is legendary,” Han Sen said quietly to himself . Without hesitation, he jumped headfirst into the Good Fortune Pool .
When Han Sen jumped into the pool, Li Chun Qiu suddenly appeared next to Shale . He watched the Good Fortune Pool with Shale .
“I wonder if Han Sen will become deified inside the Good Fortune Pool,” Shale said to himself .
“He is just a crystallizer . Unlike you, he won’t receive old xenogeneic blood and trigger a vision . There’s no way for him to gain much . He won’t become deified, but he will earn a few benefits to help him along,” Li Chun Qiu said dispassionately .
