Hearing what the mysterious woman said, Aotian realized that the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool had taken her thousands of years to forge. The energy contained within the Blood Pool must be incredibly terrifying, and if he were to enter it, he would likely be violently exploded by the energy inside.
The mysterious woman seemed to see through Aotian's thoughts and smiled lightly, saying, "Do you know the purpose of the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool?"
Aotian shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
The mysterious woman slowly walked to the edge of the Blood Pool and gently scooped up a drop of blood.
Suddenly, Aotian saw that there were strands of ice shards left behind on her palm as the blood dripped away.
"The Blood of the Ice Phoenix is what martial artists dream of—Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—because the Blood of the Ice Phoenix can help martial artists forge a powerful physical body!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian was taken aback, and his eyes sparkled with intense heat.
"The Ice Phoenix Blood Pool is formed from the condensation of the Blood of the Ice Phoenix, so it naturally has miraculous effects for forging the body."
Aotian licked his lips and asked, "Is this the trial for the third stage?"
The mysterious woman nodded lightly and said, "Originally, the trial for the third stage was not the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool, but since you helped me bring back a descendant of the Ice Phoenix, I will make an exception this time!"
Aotian was slightly taken aback, and then realized that the descendant of the Ice Phoenix mentioned by the mysterious woman must be Aoyan.
"However, since it is a trial, there will definitely be dangers involved," the mysterious woman's lips curled into a smirk of schadenfreude.
Looking at the curve of the mysterious woman's mouth, Aotian suddenly felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart. Nevertheless, he steeled himself and asked, "Senior, what kind of dangers are there in the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool?"
The mysterious woman glanced at the Blood Pool and said to Aotian, "The energy contained in this Blood Pool is extremely vast, far beyond what you can absorb and refine. Although I will try my best to suppress the violent factors within the Blood Pool, you will still have to endure some hardships."
Aotian replied firmly, "To gain powerful strength requires double the effort; a little pain won't deter me!"
"Hehe, if you can come out of the Blood Pool unscathed, not only will your physical strength undergo a qualitative leap, but you will also be able to see the Heaven Devouring Seal as you wish," the mysterious woman said.
Aotian nodded eagerly.
"Of course, if something happens to you in the Blood Pool, while it won't cost you your life, your body will definitely suffer great damage. Even your cultivation may be hard to preserve, and your martial achievements will be severely limited!"
Upon hearing these words from the mysterious woman, the fervor in Aotian's eyes diminished somewhat. After all, if he couldn't emerge safely, the outcome would likely be unbearable for him.
Thinking this way, Aotian's expression became serious.
In the great hall, when Yan saw the third trial of Aotian, his expression immediately brightened. Then he closed his eyes tightly, as if performing some kind of Secret Technique.
In the stone cave, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared, and Yan miraculously appeared beside Aotian, smiling at him and saying:
"Not bad, I didn't expect you to reach the third trial so quickly. However, this Ice Phoenix Blood Pool is crucial for you, so I specially sent out this Soul Clone to teach you a Body Refinement Technique."
Upon hearing this, Aotian's eyes lit up.
Yan's origins were mysterious; he seemed to have existed in an extremely distant era when the martial arts and techniques of that time possessed astonishing power. Therefore, when Aotian heard that Yan was going to impart a set of body refinement martial arts to him, he became extremely excited. After all, he had personally witnessed the might of the Dragon God Transformation Technique.
Yan slowly extended a finger and touched Aotian's forehead. Instantly, a vast amount of information flooded into Aotian's mind.
"Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body"
Five ancient characters containing endless mysteries flickered deep within Aotian's mind.
Subsequently, waves of information were engraved in Aotian's heart. To Aotian, each ancient character in "Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body" seemed to embody the most profound truths of heaven and earth.
Aotian quietly sat cross-legged on the ground, seemingly digesting the content of "Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body."
In the stone cave, Aotian's body shimmered with a faint golden light, which seemed to contain supreme majesty that made one involuntarily feel awed.
The mysterious woman flicked her slender fingers and looked at Aotian's body glowing with golden light, saying:
"Senior, I suppose this is the Benefactor's Body Refinement Technique?"
Yan nodded and said,
"That's right, but even though the Body Refinement Technique is powerful, it ultimately cannot escape downfall."
As he spoke the last words, there was a deep sadness in Yan's tone.
The mysterious woman furrowed her brows and said in a low voice,
"The strength of the Benefactor is probably unmatched in the world. Why did they ultimately fall?"
Yan's expression darkened, the previous arrogance had long vanished, and deep within his eyes lay a hidden fear:
"Unmatched in the world?! That's simply a huge joke!"
The mysterious woman was taken aback, opening her mouth as if she wanted to ask about the reason behind the Benefactor's downfall. However, as if recalling something, she closed her mouth again, swallowing back her words.
Yan glanced at the mysterious woman and sighed, saying,
"That level of matter is not something you can touch yet. For now, we can only hope that the Dragon God’s heir grows quickly; otherwise, if that person finds out, then it will all be too late!"
The mysterious woman shook her head in silence. Although she did not fully understand Yan's words, she vaguely grasped why he wanted Aotian to subdue the Heaven Devouring Seal.
It seemed that Yan was afraid of that person noticing Aotian's existence, which is why he wanted Aotian to subdue the Heaven Devouring Seal, hoping to use its power to accelerate his cultivation speed.
However, the mysterious woman did not have high hopes for Aotian subduing the Heaven Devouring Seal. She had been guarding the Heaven Devouring Seal for many years and knew very well how terrifying it truly was! That kind of power could not be resisted by human strength. Even though Aotian was the Dragon God’s heir, the mysterious woman still did not have faith in Aotian.
Suddenly, Aotian gently opened his eyes, a puff of white breath slowly escaping from his throat, and his eyes flickered with excitement and astonishment.
Aotian was not very clear about the level of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body, but according to the records, he knew that this Body Refinement Technique was divided into nine layers, corresponding to nine transformations. Each transformation required an enormous amount of natural energy, and this energy had to be extremely rare in the world. For example, the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool was a rare source of energy in nature.
The breakthrough of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body was as difficult as that of the Dragon God Transformation Technique. However, each breakthrough resulted in a several-fold increase in physical strength.
For instance, once the first transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body was mastered, one could crush an ordinary innate expert with sheer physical power. And that was just the first transformation; how terrifying the ninth transformation at the highest level would be was beyond Aotian's prediction.
"How is it? Have you memorized the operation route of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Body?" Yan asked as soon as he saw Aotian wake up.
Aotian excitedly nodded and then gazed fervently at the Ice Phoenix Blood Pool, as if he could not wait to jump in immediately.
"If you are ready, then enter the Blood Pool!" The mysterious woman said with a light smile, observing Aotian's eager demeanor.
Aotian slowly exhaled a puff of white breath, then removed his outer robe and shot into the Blood Pool like an arrow...
