Chapter 304: Emperor Possession

The Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor—this was the legendary supreme treasure of Moon Country.

It was said to be incomparably mysterious, containing unmatched power.

The reason Qin Xuanxiao was able to possess Perfection of Spear Intent and even reach the Half-step Spear Heart Realm at this moment was precisely because of it.

And this was merely one of the many wondrous uses of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor.

Aside from that, it could also enhance the power of Divine Sense and stabilize the Sea of Consciousness.

The higher one’s cultivation realm, the greater the effect it could exert.

“I’ve heard that the current Female State Preceptor of Moon Country could only be considered fairly talented in the past, still somewhat inferior compared to top-tier heavenly prodigies.”

“But by a stroke of fortune, she obtained a chance to enter the Imperial Pool and successfully refined a strand of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor. From then on, she rose uncontrollably, soaring straight to the heavens. At such a young age, she has already reached the Eighth Realm.”

Chu Huaixu recalled this representative figure—Lin Qingci.

In 《Borrowed Sword》, she had only appeared a few times.

Yet among players, her popularity was remarkably high.

The reason was simple.

—Intellectual, dignified, powerful!

Her iconic “face of national peace and prosperity” had quite a wide audience in terms of aesthetics.

Moreover, for some reason, this Female State Preceptor… rarely wore shoes.

As everyone knew, foot enthusiasts were a massive group.

And her pair of jade feet truly possessed flawless beauty.

They resembled a white lotus bud just emerging from the water, the arch forming a smooth and supple curve.

Combined with her temple-like dignified aura, those feet even carried a sense of purity—almost sanctity.

A pair of feet that were both beautiful and gave off such an immaculate feeling—what foot enthusiast could possibly resist?

Chu Huaixu, however, was not particularly into that. Comparatively, he might prefer legs.

Otherwise, Han Shuangjiang, who was practically the embodiment of perfect legs, would not have held such strong attraction for him.

“Judging from Lin Qingci and Qin Xuanxiao, the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor is definitely a good thing.”

Yet Chu Huaixu still had some concerns. After all, on the surface, he was a citizen of Mirror Country in the Eastern Continent.

But one must not forget one of the national creeds: since you’re already here.

Chu Huaixu had soaked his way through, perfectly clearing the trial, arriving at the final Imperial Pool with ten beads—there was no reason not to enter.

As for this Divine Sense… he did not particularly want it.

He stepped into the blood-colored Imperial Pool.

The water was not deep. Standing there, it only reached his chest.

At that very moment, the Imperial Pool began to emit a crimson glow.

The surface was no longer calm—it surged with waves.

The temperature also began to rise, surpassing boiling point, yet it did not boil.

Watching this scene, Chu Huaixu slightly furrowed his brows.

Within the Imperial Pool, the four strands of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor that had been wandering began rushing rapidly toward him!

Behind the hazy mist, Lin Qingci looked at this scene and softly sighed.

Whether intentional or not, she did not conceal her voice at this moment.

Thus, with Chu Huaixu’s exceptional senses, he immediately heard that sigh.

“Someone!?” he was startled.

According to the rules, the Imperial Pool only allowed one person inside!

And from the sound of it… it seemed to be a woman?

This made his lower body instinctively tense.

With Perfection of Fearless Sword Intent, he should have known no fear—yet at this moment, his first thought was: where did this female peeping voyeur come from!?

But everything happened too quickly. The unexpected struck, leaving him no time to dwell on such details.

No—not small details!

The four strands of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor, immediately after that sigh, rapidly burrowed into Chu Huaixu’s body.

Then, a somewhat familiar scene unfolded.

Chu Huaixu heard a voice:

“How is it only a mid-grade Spirit Embryo!”

The process of possession always felt so familiar.

Step one of possession: despise Chu Huaixu’s Spirit Embryo.

Within the Imperial Pool, the waves grew increasingly violent.

Yet, for some reason, not a single drop splashed outward.

Hearing that voice, Chu Huaixu’s brows knitted even tighter.

That day at the Evil Cultivator Altar, when a Nascent Soul attempted to possess him, its first reaction had also been shock at his abysmally poor Spirit Embryo.

The world knew that the Xuanhuang Champion was a peerless genius.

But few knew that at the beginning, he had been nothing more than a False Spirit Embryo.

An overwhelming fury began to rise within Chu Huaixu.

Because this Sixth-grade Spirit Embryo—looked down upon and despised by others—was something he had painstakingly upgraded.

When something you worked so hard for was mocked, it was naturally infuriating.

Even if the one mocking him seemed to be… the Founding Emperor!

The four strands of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor began to roam around Chu Huaixu’s body, attempting to move toward his Sea of Consciousness.

In the Xuanhuang Realm, there was no such method as possession—no such sinister art existed.

Such techniques only came from Kunlun Grotto-Heaven.

However, the Ancestor Emperor had planned for this over several hundred years and naturally had his reliance.

After accidentally obtaining the method of possession in life, he had begun researching and modifying it, attempting to localize it.

The cultivation system of the Xuanhuang Realm differed greatly from that of Kunlun Grotto-Heaven.

To be precise, the greatest purpose of the Imperial Pool’s existence was to allow his Divine Soul to remain undying—and then carry out possession!

But no matter how the Ancestor Emperor improved it, just like when the Nascent Soul attempted possession before, the target needed at least a top-grade Spirit Embryo—preferably a supreme-grade one!

That was precisely why the Ancestor Emperor had reacted that way.

However, the four strands of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor did not withdraw.

Because he had already prepared a “gluttonous feast” after possession.

Lin Qingci sat quietly nearby. At that time, he only needed to dual cultivate with her—relying on the wondrous effects of the 《Bridal Garment》 cultivation method, forcefully raising the Spirit Embryo by two grades would not be difficult.

“If the process goes smoothly, perhaps it can even be raised by three grades, advancing into a Ninth-grade Spirit Embryo,” the Ancestor Emperor thought.

Thus, this lowly Sixth-grade Spirit Embryo body was barely acceptable.

“To reach such a level with merely a mid-grade Spirit Embryo…”

“Chu Huaixu, you truly astonish me,” the Ancestor Emperor could not help but remark.

And what he said could also be heard by Lin Qingci, who was enveloped in the mist.

Because the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor within her body would relay the voice simultaneously.

However, Qin Xuanxiao remained completely unaware of this matter.

At this, Lin Qingci felt somewhat surprised.

“He’s actually only a mid-grade Spirit Embryo?”

The Female State Preceptor could not imagine how someone with merely a mid-grade Spirit Embryo could grow to such a level in such a short time.

This was absolutely world-shattering!

“Moreover, an ordinary mid-grade Spirit Embryo likely wouldn’t be able to withstand absorbing my Primal Yin,” Lin Qingci lowered her gaze slightly, thinking to herself.

If she gave herself to him, he would most likely explode from the strain during the pleasure!

But considering that he possessed Body Training Divine Abilities, and it was said his regenerative ability was abnormal, he might barely endure it.

One could imagine—when she sat down, both of them might end up shattered?

Under normal circumstances, if four strands of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor suddenly entered his body, Chu Huaixu would have assumed they had chosen him, granting him fortune and opportunity.

But first came the woman’s sigh, then the scene inside his body so closely resembled what had happened at the Evil Cultivator Altar—

Even a fool should realize something was wrong.

However, from Chu Huaixu’s perspective, the information he could access was far too limited.

He only knew that he seemed to have been set up.

The power surging within his body began to compete for control.

Within the blood-colored Imperial Pool, waves of heat surged into his body.

At the bottom of the pool, obscure runes appeared one after another, writhing continuously.

They formed into a grand array.

Chu Huaixu grew increasingly enraged. Before his body stiffened completely, he shouted:

“Impudent!”

These two words stunned Lin Qingci behind the mist.

Even the possession process of the Divine Sense of the Sovereign Emperor paused momentarily.

What did we just hear?

This insignificant Third Realm cultivator… dared to say “Impudent”!?

—The Ancestor Emperor of Moon Country, acting recklessly, dared to attempt possession!

At the next moment, within Chu Huaixu’s Sea of Consciousness, that black Heart Sword moved!
