The national teacher stood up from the ground, looked at Zhang Ruochen who was standing behind him with a displeased expression and said: "Ninth prince, why dont you kneel down and pay homage to Empress Chi Yao?"

  "I only worship heaven and earth, I worship my parents, but I dont worship her."

  Zhang Ruochen finished speaking, then passed through the ancestral temple, through a hidden door, along the stone stairs behind the hidden door, step by step towards the bottom of the Barbarian God Pool.

  Wu Wangzi, Situ Linjiang, Xue Kai and Lin Xianshan stood up and looked at Zhang Ruochen.

  "With such a stubborn and unruly temperament, he will eventually bring trouble upon himself." Si Tu Lin Jiang lightly shook his head.

  After a battle with Zhang Ruochen, Situ Linjiang still admired his innate talent for martial arts. However, Zhang Ruochen was really too arrogant, not even bowing to the Empress, and would definitely cause big trouble in the future.

  "Theres nothing to be proud of, now that youve only just reached the Small Boundary of the Yellow Extreme Realm. You can only be considered as having just stepped into the path of martial arts. Who knows if youll become a strong practitioner in the future?" Lin Xiansan said.

  Then, under the leadership of Guoshi, the five princes, Situ Linjiang, Xue Kai, and Lin Xianshuang also walked down the stone stairs and entered a bloody underground world.

  In the center of the underground world, a huge blood-colored divine pool was excavated, with both its length and width exceeding 100 meters.

  The crimson pool water churns ceaselessly, stirring up layer upon layer of bloody waves.

  In the center of the Blood Pool, an ancient altar stands upright, in a square shape, built with massive stones weighing thousands of kilograms, each surface of which is engraved with ritual texts and diagrams.

  The stone pedestal rises upwards and is connected with the altar on the ground as a whole.

  "You can now enter the Barbarian God Pool to cultivate. Remember, the Blood Essence in the pool is very overbearing. If you really cant hold on, leave the pool immediately and dont try to force it. Otherwise, there may be a risk to your life." The National Master said seriously.

  Zhang Ruochen, Lin Xiangru, Situ Linjiang, Wu Wangzi, and Xue Kai, five young geniuses, walked into the Pool of Barbarian God one after another.

  The water in the Barbarian God Pool is extremely hot, just like boiling water, and can cook people.

  "Uh-huh"

  The five young geniuses had just come into contact with the pool water, and their mouths all let out a muffled sound. The skin that came into contact with the pool water immediately melted away, and their legs became a bloody mess.

  They gritted their teeth and endured the pain, immediately circulating the true energy inside their bodies to counteract the power of the Blood Essence.

  "If you use true energy to resist the power of blood essence, then the power of blood essence cannot enter the body." The national teacher stood by the pool and said lightly.

  To obtain the power of the Blood Essence in the Pool of Barbarian God, the five young geniuses had to recall their external Qi back into their bodies. That sharp pain came again, and it hurt so much that even the meridians on their bodies were visible.

  Zhang Ruochens spiritual power was immense, and he clearly felt a thread of scorching hot blood essence power drilling into his flesh from the damaged wound, merging with his blood and bones.

  "Its really the power of Blood Essence, its great! With the help of Blood Essence, my physique will definitely be greatly improved. This opportunity must not be wasted."

  Zhang Ruochen slowly closed his eyes and walked step by step towards the center of the Pool of Barbarian God.

  The deeper you go into the center, the deeper the pool water is.

  Zhang Ruochen had only taken ten steps when the blood-red pool water reached his waist.

  The more contact with the pool water, the faster the absorption of blood essence. At the same time, the bodys pain sensation also becomes stronger.

  The national teacher standing by the pool, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, secretly sighed: "What a strong willpower, its so determined. Just entering the Pool of Barbaric Gods and daring to walk into the middle zone. When the Seventh Prince first entered the Pool of Barbaric Gods for cultivation, he also spent an hour adapting to the lower zone before daring to move towards the middle zone."

  The Barbarian God Pond is divided into three areas: Lower Position Area, Middle Position Area and Upper Position Area.

  The lower area is just the outer periphery of the Pool of Barbarian Gods. The deepest part of the lower area can only reach the knee position of a warrior.

  Generally speaking, warriors who enter the Barbarian Gods Pool for the first time to cultivate only dare to cultivate in the lower positions and do not dare to enter the middle positions.

  In the past decade, only Qi Wangzi was able to enter the middle zone for the first time when he entered the Man God Pool for cultivation.

  Zhang Ruochen had just entered the Pool of Barbarian God and directly walked into the central area to cultivate, which indeed caused a considerable shockwave, putting immense pressure on the other four young warriors.

  The Fifth Prince was the second time to enter the Barbarian God Pool for cultivation, but he still did not dare to walk into the middle position area, and could only persist in the low position area, striving to absorb more blood essence power, tempering his body, and strengthening his physique.

  Two hours later, Lin Xian was the first to give in and immediately withdrew from the Pool of Barbaric Gods. After all, she was a woman, and her physical body couldnt compare with that of male martial artists.

  She had just walked out of the Pool of Barbarian God, and the skin on her legs that was scorched by the flames quickly recovered at a visible speed, soon becoming smooth and jade-like, without even a single scar.

  That unbearable pain disappeared, replaced by a cool and comfortable feeling, as if every inch of her skin was soaking in an icy crystal milk bath, extremely comfortable.

  "How can you recover so quickly?" Lin Xianshang felt surprised.

  "It was the power of the Blood Essence you just absorbed that helped you recover from the injury to your legs. You should immediately start cultivating and try to refine the power of the Blood Essence, converting it into your own strength. Otherwise, the progress you made in your cultivation earlier will be greatly discounted." The National Master said.

  Lin Xuan immediately sat down on the ground, mobilized her true energy, and refined the remaining blood essence in her body.

  Half a time later, Xue Kai also couldnt hold on and withdrew from the Pool of Barbarian God.

  Two more hours passed, and Situ Linjiang and the Fifth Prince almost simultaneously walked out of the Pool of Barbarian Gods.

  As soon as they walked out of the Pool of Barbarian God, they immediately sat down on the ground and began to refine the power of Blood Essence.

  At this moment, only Zhang Ruochen was still cultivating in the Pool of Barbarian God, and he was still in the middle zone.

  "Its already been half a day and he can still cultivate in the middle realm, its truly inconceivable. In the past, even the Seventh Prince only lasted a day in the middle realm, could he also last a day?" The National Master stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with an incredulous expression.

  In the Cloud Martial Empire, the Seven Princes can be considered a rare talent that appears only once in a hundred years. At the age of three, he activated the Seventh Grade Divine Martial Imprint and from a young age, he used various precious items to temper his body, with a very solid foundation. His innate talent and comprehension are both unparalleled.

  The ninth prince was sixteen years old when he started the divine martial mark, how can you compare with him?

  Lin Xuan, Xue Kai, Situ Linjiang and Wu Wangzi refined the remaining blood essence in their bodies, and their physical strength increased a lot, gaining great benefits.

  They didnt leave the Pool of Barbarian God, standing by the pool and staring at Zhang Ruochen in it.

  "Its also their first time entering the Savage God Pool, why is the gap so big?" Si Tu Lin Jiang felt unbelievable, his confidence suffered a severe blow.

  He thought his willpower was very strong and could bear the pain that ordinary people couldnt bear, but compared to Zhang Ruochen, the gap was actually so big.

  One day later, Zhang Ruochen still stood steadily in the middle area of the Pool of Barbarian God.

  It wasnt until noon on the third day that Zhang Ruochen finally walked out of the Pool of Barbarian God, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to refine the remaining Blood Essence in his body.

  He had refined all the Blood Essence in his body, and only then did Zhang Ruo Chen slowly open his eyes. His eyes flowed with threads of blood light, which soon disappeared and retracted back into his pupils.

  "His physique had indeed increased significantly, and with his current physique, if he were to impact the Yellow Extreme Boundarys extreme point, he would definitely be able to open up nineteen meridians, and even have a chance of opening up twenty meridians." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

  After the year-end assessment, Lin Fei moved back to Yu Xi Palace to live again.

  Zhang Ruochen returned to the Jade Washing Palace and immediately took out ten small jade bottles filled with marrow washing liquid from the inner space of the time-space crystal, arranging them in a row.

  "Its time to start impacting the polar regions of Huang Ji"

  Zhang Ruochen swallowed the first dose of marrow washing liquid and began to open up his twelfth meridian.

  At this moment, Guoshi arrived at the palace where the queen lived and reported everything in the Man God Pool to the queen.

  "Boom"

  The queens five fingers emitted a white aura, pinching a crystal cup into pieces, turning it into fragments.

  "Its really impressive, he actually cultivated in the middle zone of the Pool of Barbarian Gods for two and a half days. His talent is indeed high. Doesnt he understand the principle that a tree standing out in the forest will be felled by the wind?" The Queen said in a low voice.

  The national teacher reminded: "Queen Wang. The year-end assessment has just passed, if the Ninth Prince encounters any mishap now, the king will definitely suspect you."

  The queen coldly smiled and said, "You think Im so foolish in the palace that I wouldnt dare to move him. But once hes out of the palace, even if someone kills him, it has nothing to do with me."

  Guo Shi Dao said: "Actually, the nine princes innate talent is high, but its only at the level of Huang Jis small extreme boundary. It cant be compared to the seven princes at all. Whether he can grow up in the future is still an unknown number. Queen Wang, there is no need at all."

  The queen interrupted the national teachers words, coldly saying: "Anyone who poses a threat to Qier must die. It is precisely because he has not yet grown up that we must eliminate him in order to eliminate future troubles."
