Entering the Nether Pool
Hearing their discussion, Lin Mu looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
What's going on?
"It's just a trick by the Earth Soul Clan!" the Yellow Spring Toad explained.
"That Mingyue Bing is a genius that the Earth Soul Clan sees only once in a hundred years, so many people have proposed marriage to her!"
"Mingyue Bing is also wise. She didn't want to hurt the reputation of the various races by refusing, so she established this rule!"
"As long as someone from any race can achieve Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance in the Nether Pool, she will follow that person!"
"But how easy is it to achieve Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance? To date, only the Nether Emperor has been able to do it!"
Lin Mu looked somewhat helpless upon hearing this.
This woman is indeed quite clever.
This single sentence not only rejected many geniuses but also avoided damaging the friendship between different races.
That would be a win-win solution.
Under Lin Mu's watchful gaze, the man called Young Master Long leaped into the Nether Pool.
As he entered, a large number of wronged souls clung to him.
At first, his complexion was normal, but as time went on, some pain appeared on his face.
Those wronged spirits, like Lesser Fiend, kept gnawing at his Divine Soul. Although they did not cause direct harm, the pain was no less than that of being slowly sliced to death.
Before long, scales grew on his body, and he transformed into a giant dragon.
It was completely immersed in the Nether Pool, and immense pain kept assaulting it.
Its body kept rolling around, trying to alleviate the pain in this way.
But to its surprise, the pain kept escalating.
It let out a mournful howl.
He leaped into the water and left the Nether Pool.
After leaving the Nether Pool, he quickly transformed into human form, but his skin was still covered with scales, and his eyes showed signs of anxiety.
Despite having challenged the Nether Pool for so long, he still found the pain unbearable.
As he left, the Stone Tablet in the middle of the Nether Pool changed.
A series of dark, shadowy lights slowly rose.
One zhang!
Two zhang!
Three zhang!
They only stopped when they reached a height of sixty-three zhang.
Seeing this, Young Master Long's eyes showed resentment.
After such a long period of arduous training, this is all he can achieve.
"Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance! It's this difficult!" He clenched his fists.
Among the Netherworld Creatures, many also showed expressions of regret.
Young Master Long has already tried his best.
But Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance is too difficult!
That's something no ordinary person could do.
The news of what happened here also reached the ears of a family in the town.
In the backyard of this mansion, a woman dressed in a flowing cloud-patterned dress, with a slender figure and an appearance that resembled a human, but whose head was a fusion of an elf and a human, not ugly but somewhat incongruous, listened to an old man's report.
"Sixty-three zhang! That's quite impressive for his age!"
"However, it still falls far short of Miss's requirements!" the woman said slowly.
She is the intelligence gathering leader of the Earth Soul Clan in the town.
She was responsible for compiling all the intelligence in the town.
She paid particular attention to the commotion at the Nether Pool.
Outsiders all thought that her young lady had deliberately set up such a difficult problem, leaving outstanding people from all races sighing in despair.
But only she knew that her mistress truly intended to do so.
In her view, only someone who could obtain Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance from the Nether Pool could become her husband.
The young lady has been born for over three hundred years, which is considered a prime age for the Earth Soul Clan.
For over three hundred years, the young lady has been searching for someone who can obtain Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance from the Nether Pool.
But such people are extremely rare.
If it really happens, it will probably cause quite a stir in the Netherworld.
"Only the Nether Emperor has achieved the Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance so far. Miss, you're not choosing a husband, you're actually planning to find a Nether Emperor!" The old man standing in front of the woman shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Miss is no ordinary person, so it's normal for her to have high standards. Besides, the Earth Soul Clan has a long lifespan, so even if we haven't found it yet, we can wait patiently. I don't believe that among so many races in the Netherworld, no one can reach Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance in the Nether Pool!" The woman's face showed a hint of pride.
She greatly admired the young lady and naturally hoped that she could find her ideal husband.
The old man sighed softly and remained silent.
It has survived for a very long time, thousands of years.
They have an extremely deep understanding of the Netherworld.
Since its establishment, the Nether Pool has been inhabited except by the Nether Emperor of that time.
No one can actually do that.
He was also curious about how the Nether Emperor had managed to do it.
It can unleash Hundred-Zhang Soul Radiance within the Nether Pool!
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Mu gained some understanding of this Nether Pool.
The wronged souls in this Nether Pool seem quite peculiar; they do not directly harm the Divine Soul, but can cause immense suffering.
Few people can endure such pain.
"If it's just painful, then I might as well give it a try!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
He took a deep breath and leaped into the Nether Pool.
This scene attracted the attention of many Netherworld Creatures.
"Who has entered the Nether Pool again?"
"It seems to be Toad Clan. How arrogant! Even Young Master Long failed, and this Toad wants to eat swan meat?"
"A toad is a toad, always indulging in wishful thinking!"
"..."
It seems that because the Toad Clan doesn't have a good reputation in the Netherworld, many people scoff at Lin Mu when they see him.
The Yellow Spring Toad had a hint of anger on its face, but dared not say anything.
After all, many of these Netherworld Creatures are more powerful than it.
If it dares to speak rudely, it will be taught a lesson in no time.
"These guys are really venomous!" the Yellow Spring Toad thought to itself.
His gaze turned toward Lin Mu.
He was curious about the extent to which this human could achieve this.
As Lin Mu entered the Nether Pool, he could sense several wronged souls clinging to him.
A sharp pain followed.
At this moment, the Divine Soul Eye trembled slightly.
All that could be seen was Netherworld Power flowing into the Divine Soul Eye.
The Divine Soul Eye seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
Seeing this, Lin Mu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
The Divine Soul Eye had changed before.
Now, things have changed once again.
This further solidified Lin Mu's suspicions.
The Nether Emperor of that time must have also possessed the Divine Soul Eye.
Otherwise, why would the Divine Soul Eye change because of the Nether Pool he created?
As the Netherworld Power gathered in the Divine Soul Eye, a chilling aura emanated from it.
As Lin Mu looked back at the Nether Pool, the world he saw underwent a very obvious change!
