Ye Feng followed the Heavenly Soldier's instructions and found the Ascension Pond that the Heavenly Soldier mentioned not long after.
The white mist was like a haze, and wisps of clear water flowed over the grayish-green rocks. It was about an acre in size, and there were quite a number of people standing in front of the Ascension Pool. There were at least a few hundred of them. Looking at their clothes, they were similar to him. They were all extremely tattered and should be reserved Heavenly Soldiers. Moreover, their faces were pale, and their eyes were staring at the clear square pool in front of them in fear. It was as if they were a huge man-eating monster.
Ye Feng did not say anything. Taking advantage of the crowd, he carefully lined up at the back of the line.
Even faster, the voice of an immortal official came from the front." Number 365! Enter the Ascension Pond!"
Immediately after, a " putong " sound was heard. Ye Feng saw a bronze-skinned Celestial Soldier in front of him jump in like a fish. From the way he jumped, Ye Feng could tell that this person was a martial arts expert, the kind with solid basic skills…
"Ah-it hurts!"
A scream interrupted Ye Feng's thoughts. Ye Feng saw the bronze-skinned celestial soldier's body in the misty pool that was as clear as a mirror. It was as if blood had rushed out of his body. It instantly swelled up, and his facial features twitched so much that they were almost deformed.
On the Ascension Lake, the white-robed immortal official's voice was cold and arrogant." You've persisted for less than two breaths. Your aptitude is dull, your comprehension is poor, your willpower is weak, and you're not of much use. You can be sent to the Three Realms Horse Farm to raise horses!”
Beside the white-robed immortal official, there was a celestial soldier with the Yin family's dragon spear. The celestial soldier pointed at the guy in the pool from afar. The dragon spear trembled slightly, and that guy was picked up. The celestial soldier escorted that guy away gradually.
The white-robed immortal official said slowly," Next, number 366! Enter the Ascension Pond!"
With a thud, a reserve-duty Heavenly Soldier jumped in.
Ye Feng's eyes widened. He wanted to see something different, but unfortunately, the faster Celestial Soldier seemed to end up like the previous Celestial Soldier, howling desperately.
" Ouch! Immortal Official, I, I want to come out…"
Ascension Lake, the immortal official said coldly," He lasted for a full four breaths. His aptitude is passable, his comprehension is average, and his will is barely useful. Bring him to the Southern Heavenly Gate Chores Department and wait for Lord Heaven Cao to dispatch him.”
"Yes, sir!" The two rows of celestial soldiers suddenly moved forward. With a tap of their dragon spears, the kid in the water was pardoned out of the void and escorted away by the celestial soldiers.
……
Ye Feng stood at the back of the line and watched dozens of matches before he finally understood.
The longer one stayed in the Celestial Ascension Pool, the stronger one's potential, comprehension, and willpower would be. The stronger one was, the better the position they would be assigned to!
There were so many heavenly soldiers in the celestial heavens. There were internal guards, external killing, carrying out rituals, serving tea and water…
Potential determined your position. The longer you stayed in there, the more potential you had.
The line seemed very long, but every reserve-duty Heavenly Soldier stayed in it for a very short time. At least, they did not stay for a single breath before they were directly scolded by the immortal officer to be fired for treason. The most they stayed in was a full seven breaths! He was the only one who received a good look from the Sky Official, and his position was also very different. He was sent directly to the Southern Heavenly Gate! That was the headquarters of the Heavenly Army.
The white-robed immortal official shouted slowly," Number 762! Step forward!"
Ye Feng hurriedly stood up.
The white-robed immortal official slowly stared at Ye Feng and then read the manual.
Ye Feng was panicking. He was different from this group of Heavenly Soldiers. He had escaped from the imperial prison and was not one of those reserved Heavenly Soldiers. The Immortal Official who had brought him last time was not this person.
Would he be discovered? Why don't we run away now?
The immortal official's voice was ice-cold." Hurry up and enter the Ascension Pool, number 762!”
Ye Feng's heart was in a mess, but he didn't think too much about it. He imitated the people before him and plunged into the Ascension Pool.
The next moment, Ye Feng's skin turned red and his hair stood on end.
It hurt!
Hot!
The Grief of Breaking Bones and Skinning Skin!
Ye Feng could no longer feel anything. It was as if his soul had been extracted from his body. His entire body was covered in blood veins. He looked like a bloody corpse, his eyes like burning coal…
In front of the Ascension Pool, the white-robed immortal looked on coldly and muttered," One breath.”
In the Ascension Pool, Ye Feng only heard this voice. One breath, no, I can't not hold on for one breath, or I will be beaten down to the mortal world. It was not easy for me to ascend, I don't want to become a mortal!
Peng--
The sound of bones being torn apart could be heard. It was as if his cells had started to boil. Ye Feng saw that his arms had already been deformed.
"Two breaths."
Boom!
A crisp sound rang out. Ye Feng, who was even faster, saw that his ten fingers had become like seaweed, floating in the clear water without any bones.
"Three breaths."
Sh--
In the clear, smoke-like Ascension Pond, Ye Feng's hair fell off one by one. His entire person seemed to have aged in an instant. His skin quickly wrinkled.
"Four breaths!"
Hair fell off, flesh and blood covered the bones!
"Five breaths!"
His eyes were black, and he felt the pain of pulling out his tongue!
"Six breaths!"
It looked like a skeleton, with a broken body and a missing corpse!
“……”
In front of the Ascension Pool, the white-robed immortal official said slowly," Ninth breath.”
Beside the Immortal Official, the Heavenly Soldier said respectfully," He's not moving anymore. He dived into the pool as if he had failed and given up.”
A clear light seemed to radiate from the white-robed immortal official's cold eyes. Holding the ink treasure in his hand, he turned around and wrote," He lasted for nine breaths. His aptitude is extremely dull, and his comprehension ability is of the lowest level. Even if he was in the mortal world, he would still be of inferior quality. Only his soul and will can be praised. Such a person can only be seen once every ten years. He can be recruited into the Tushita Palace's guard team. If he doesn't die, he will definitely achieve great things.”
After the white-robed immortal official finished writing, he waved his sleeves and left." Bring him and the document I approved to the Heavenly Might Hall of the Southern Heavenly Gate and present it to Lord Heaven Cao. The ascension ceremony here is over, and the ascension pool will open again in a hundred years.”
The Heavenly Soldiers on his left and right lowered their heads.”
The dragon spear glowed, and Ye Feng, who had almost lost his human form in the pool, was frightened out of the void. The dragon spear of the heavenly weapon was held horizontally, and Ye Feng carried the document and quickly headed towards the Heaven's Might Palace.
