Chapter 79: Xu Chen Seizes Every Opportunity

At this moment, the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit spoke with a melodious voice: "I am the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit. The fact that you have reached this place proves it is your fortune. However, whether you can obtain the Spirit-Birth Spring depends on your own destiny." The crowd was stunned: "Spirit-Birth Spring? Not the Longevity Spring?" The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit shook her head: "If there were true longevity, how could there be resentful souls here?" The crowd gritted their teeth: "Then what is the Spirit-Birth Spring?" The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit said indifferently: "As the name suggests, the Spirit-Birth Spring is a spring rich in vital energy and spiritual energy. If consumed, it is comparable to liquid elixirs and can help martial artists break through realms and extend their lifespan. Though it does not grant immortality, it is still a rare spiritual medicine in the world, a seventh-grade heavenly treasure. This is the only seventh-grade heavenly treasure within the Profound Heaven Secret Realm." She seemed unaware of the Profound Spirit Divine Jade, so she was extremely confident.

Seeing this, Xu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the female lead this time hadn't broken character.

Otherwise, she would surely have stared at him and discovered the Divine Jade Armor. "A seventh-grade heavenly treasure?"

"There is actually a seventh-grade treasure in the Profound Heaven Secret Realm?"

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately showed burning desire in their eyes. The final layer of this ancient battlefield truly exceeded their expectations. If this were the case, they would truly have to fight hard for this Longevity Spring. Ye Xuan's eyes also flashed with sharp light; the Spirit-Birth Spring was not bad either. If he obtained the Spirit-Birth Spring, he would not be far from breaking through to the late stage of the sixth grade. "Buzz!" As he pondered, the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit waved her jade hand.

The next second, a pool of spring water about ten meters in diameter appeared beneath her feet in mid-air.

Above the spring water, thick mist of spiritual energy condensed, and ripples bloomed. A faint fragrance also drifted from the spring water.

The crowd took a sniff and immediately felt refreshed and invigorated. Overall, the spring water was like clear stream water, completely free of impurities. The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit said: "This is the Spirit-Birth Spring. Is anyone brave enough to enter and try? Entering it will temper your body, but the tempering process is quite painful. The duration of the tempering depends on your physical body and talent."

The crowd was puzzled: "Entering inside would make it dirty." The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit shook her head: "This is diluted Spirit-Birth Spring, used only for the trial. The true Spirit-Birth Spring is in my hands, never touched, and is very clean." Hearing this, the crowd immediately became eager to try.

Seeing the spring water clear and transparent, emitting a faint fragrance, entering it should be safe. However, better safe than sorry; let others take the trial first. This time, Ye Xuan stepped forward first: "Hmph! I will try first."

He had asked his master; the danger was not great, and if he entered, he would surely gain a great harvest. Since that was the case, he absolutely could not let Xu Chen steal the spotlight again. Seeing this, Xu Chen did not stop him.

After all, in the original text, Ye Xuan entered first too; the protagonist is always different. However, the next words from the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit made him pause: "Very well, but to enter the Spirit-Birth Spring, you must pass through the Gale Zone. This is a basic qualification; everyone is treated equally. You, the one called Ye Xuan, come here." Xu Chen blinked. Wait, he remembered from his past life there was no such rule! What trick was the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit pulling? Ye Xuan: "???"

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded. Why didn't you say so earlier? Now the time limit for my master's secret technique has long passed! Damn it!

He gritted his teeth and said: "The gale on the ninth layer is several times more fierce than at the entrance; who dares to enter!" He really wanted to curse the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit to death. Damn it. The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit said indifferently: "Apologies, but even the diluted Spirit-Birth Spring cannot be touched by just anyone."

These words sounded very reasonable.

For a moment, people from all major sects felt uneasy.

Originally, bathing in the spring water was already worrying; now they also had to pass through the gale. Even if the people from the Vajra Gate were still here, they would surely turn pale upon seeing this. And how could those of us who are not body cultivators dare to enter? However, even so, they did not think the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit was making things difficult for them. After all, no trial is ever easy.

Ye Xuan, with a grim face, called out to Spirit Venerable: "Master, what should we do?" Spirit Venerable shook his head: "I am very weak now and can no longer withstand the gale." Ye Xuan felt extremely depressed; he should not have deliberately sought out the Spirit-Birth Spring in the first place.

It wasted time and wasted the secret technique. At this moment, the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit looked at Xu Chen: "This young master, would you like to try?" The crowd: "???"

There are so many people here; why did you call only Xu Chen?

It was not that they were overly suspicious, but this behavior was indeed a bit strange. Ye Xuan's face also turned dark. Why was he called "the one called Ye Xuan," but when calling Xu Chen, it was "this young master"?

Damn it, isn't this differential treatment too obvious?

Xu Chen felt a headache coming on; he vaguely sensed that the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit had also broken character.

But this time he had no proof, because the actions of the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit at this moment appeared completely flawless.

However, he was truly curious whether the Spring Spirit had broken character or not. He would test it later.

He nodded and said: "Everyone, if no one competes with me, I will go ahead first." The people from the major sects gritted their teeth. You even have to ask; are you doing this on purpose?

However, the most angry were not them; the most angry was Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan now wished he could smash both the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit's and Xu Chen's heads at the same time.

If Xu Chen and the Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit had not met before, he would truly suspect they were in cahoots. Seeing that no one responded, Xu Chen walked straight ahead.

As he moved, his protective gale and the Divine Jade Armor appeared simultaneously. "Whoosh!"

Even though the gale was fierce, Xu Chen, relying on his extremely strong defense and force rebound, withstood it. He quickly passed through the gale and, under the jealous gazes of the crowd, jumped into the Spirit-Birth Spring. At that moment, Xu Chen closed his eyes, his face filled with a look of comfort.

Moreover, the crowd even saw countless spiritual energies within the Spirit-Birth Spring being crazily absorbed by Xu Chen. "Is this spiritual energy turning into mist? No, it is a higher grade than spiritual energy mist; it is spiritual energy turning into water."

"Holy crap, is this really diluted Spirit-Birth Spring?"

The crowd's mouths hung open. Spiritual energy turning into water!

You tell me this is diluted?

The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit said indifferently: "Watch your language. The Spirit-Birth Spring itself contains vast amounts of spiritual energy, comparable to spirit stones."

The crowd wore expressions of disbelief. Really or fake?

The spiritual energy in this spring water is so dense it is emitting mist; it is absolutely comparable to high-grade spirit stones. Ye Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit, are you really not giving Xu Chen special treatment?" The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit's face turned cold: "If you cannot pass the gale, do you dare to question the Spring Spirit?

If you continue like this, your qualification for the trial will be revoked." Ye Xuan was extremely depressed; he couldn't even ask questions? So damn domineering.

However, being under someone else's roof, he had no choice and could only shut his mouth in the end. Seeing this, the female leads like Gongsun Liuli felt slightly amused.

The Spirit-Birth Spring Spirit must have been reborn too. If not, they simply wouldn't believe it.
