God Destroying Pearl

As the first ray of morning sunlight penetrated the dense forest and shone on the sparkling water of Hualong Pond, five days quietly came to an end.

Song Yun slowly opened his eyes.

He took a deep breath, feeling the tremendous spiritual power surging in his body, and couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement in his heart.

After five days of sleepless and hard training, his cultivation level miraculously leapt to the eleventh level of Qi Refining. This was not only a leap in strength, but also the best proof of his persistence and hard work.

When he stood up, Song Yun felt an unprecedented force gushing out from his body, as if it could shake the mountains and rivers and tear the void apart.

He clenched his fists lightly, feeling the powerful strength contained in every muscle and bone in his body. This change made him feel both surprised and shocked.

The moment he walked out of the Hualong Pond, Song Yun seemed to be reborn, refreshed.

Song Yun looked around and saw that he was the only one left in the Dragon Pond. His senior sister Zhang Yao, who might have practiced alongside him, was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He looked up at the Hualong Pond. The water that had once been deep and mysterious now seemed a little unusual - there was obviously less water.

This discovery shocked Song Yun.

He knew very well that the Hualong Pond was one of the forbidden areas within the sect, and the terrifying energy contained in it was enough to attract countless cultivators.

However, over the past ten thousand years, the water level in Hualong Pond has always maintained a constant level, and there has never been any record of it decreasing in the slightest.

How can this sudden change not make people feel suspicious?

"But my cultivation is so low, they shouldn't suspect me." Song Yun thought to himself.

Song Yun's gaze fell on himself again, and a thought flashed through his mind - could it be because the God-Destroying Pearl absorbed too much?

This mysterious bead, which had been hidden in his body since he accidentally obtained it, now seemed to have produced some subtle resonance with the spiritual power in his body.

Song Yun's mind moved, and his consciousness seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space, slowly entering the mysterious God-Destroying Pearl in his body.

In the space inside the Shenmie Pearl, the air was filled with a faint yet extremely pure spiritual energy.

In this land nourished by spiritual energy, the earth seems to be full of vitality.

The ground that originally seemed barren now vaguely showed tender grass sprouts breaking through the soil, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

"It seems that the spiritual power in the Dragon Transformation Pond is suitable for repairing the God-Destroying Pearl. Fortunately, I have finished my training, otherwise the water in the pond would be much less, and the guardian elder would definitely not let me go." Song Yun thought to himself.

"It is a crime to possess a treasure," this ancient idiom echoed in Song Yun's mind.

He knew very well that in this world where the strong are respected, any treasure that could arouse the greed of others could become his own death warrant.

The Shenmie Pearl is so mysterious, and the power behind it is hard to estimate. If others knew that you own such a treasure, it would probably bring you endless troubles and disasters.

Thinking of this, Song Yun's eyes became more determined.

He secretly swore that he would keep everything about the Shenmie Pearl deep in his heart forever and would never reveal it to anyone.

He understood that only if he was strong enough could he protect the secret that belonged to him and survive in this cruel world of cultivation.

Just as Song Yun was immersed in thought, a sudden force of space transmission suddenly enveloped his whole body.

This force was powerful and irresistible, as if the most ancient laws between heaven and earth had awakened at this moment, suddenly pulling him back to reality from that world full of miracles and unknowns.

Song Yun was shocked, and then he understood - this was the time limit mechanism unique to the Hualong Pool, and the time he had stayed in the pool had reached its limit.

Although his heart was filled with reluctance and nostalgia for that mysterious space, he also knew that he had to leave at this moment, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble.

He looked back reluctantly at the deep and mysterious Hualong Pond.

At this moment, a strong feeling of dizziness came over Song Yun. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be caught in an endless vortex.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing outside the entrance of the Dragon Pond. The sunlight shone on his body through the sparse clouds, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort.

At the moment Song Yun was teleported out of the Hualong Pond, an old man in a simple green robe and with white hair and beard was standing quietly at the entrance of the Hualong Pond, looking at him with deep and kind eyes.

This old man was the guardian elder of the Hualong Pond. He had witnessed the transformation and growth of countless young cultivators. He nodded secretly in his heart at Song Yun's performance at this moment.

"The peak of the eleventh level of Qi Refining, not bad." The guardian elder's voice was gentle but powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts and reach the depths of Song Yun's soul.

Upon hearing this, Song Yun hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then humbly replied: "Thank you for the compliment, Elder. I know that I still have many shortcomings and need to continue to work hard on my cultivation."

After saying that, Song Yun took out the token for entering the Dragon Pool from his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it respectfully to the guardian elder.

The guardian elder took the token, nodded slightly, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
