"This feeling."
At that moment, Chu Feng, who had been somewhat disgruntled, suddenly found himself in an excellent mood.
He discovered that once the barrier runes had appeared, the water in the pool radiated a gentle warmth. The barrier runes within the pool possessed healing properties.
And those healing properties were extraordinarily potent — far more effective than the healing formation Chu Feng had set up himself.
Upon realizing this, Chu Feng promptly dismissed his own healing formation, allowing his entire physical body to be fully submerged in the pool water.
What delighted Chu Feng even further was that once he was completely immersed, those barrier runes seemed to possess a life of their own, burrowing into his body one by one.
Under these conditions, his injuries began recovering at a speed that defied all imagination.
Before long, Chu Feng's injuries had healed completely — at least ten times faster than if he had healed on his own.
Moreover, Chu Feng's mental state was exceptionally good at that moment. He knew this had to be the power of the barrier runes erupting from within the pool.
"It's truly incredible. The Spirit Burial Pool truly lives up to its reputation." Chu Feng was overjoyed, sighing with admiration again and again.
"Chu Feng, close your eyes quickly and focus on your comprehension. Don't miss this opportunity — after all, you only have one day," the Queen said.
"Got it."
Chu Feng didn't delay. He immediately closed his eyes and devoted himself to focused comprehension.
At that moment, Chu Feng could clearly feel the barrier runes emerging from the pool water, burrowing into his body as if they were alive, continuously merging with his soul.
These barrier runes not only possessed healing properties but also gave Chu Feng a warm sensation — a feeling he found deeply comfortable.
However, if anyone thought that simply allowing the barrier runes to enter their body would grant them the power contained within, they would be sorely mistaken.
Everyone said that what one gained from the Spirit Burial Pool depended on one's own powers of comprehension. That was absolutely no fabrication — it was the truth.
…
However, just as Chu Feng had settled into deep concentration within the Spirit Burial Pool to comprehend its mysteries…
Down at the base of the mountain, where the crowd had gathered, a beam of light flickered and a figure stepped out from within.
It was Yuwen Hualong. His face was twisted with displeasure, clearly because he had failed to enter the Spirit Burial Pool and was furious about it.
"This labyrinth is way too difficult. Can anyone actually make it through?"
At the same time, quite a few other people emerged from the light pillars as well, and every one of them wore a face full of complaints.
They had all been hoping to try their luck, but just moments ago the Ancient Snake Clan's chief had announced that the Spirit Burial Pool had already begun erupting. The problem was, they hadn't even figured out how to enter the pool in the first place. Feeling there was truly no chance left, they had finally walked out of the light pillars.
"You people are being impossibly unreasonable."
Yuwen Hualong spoke to an elder of the Ancient Snake Clan who was present, his tone dripping with displeasure.
"How do you mean?" the Ancient Snake Clan elder asked.
"This labyrinth is impossible to get through — nobody can solve it. You clearly just don't want us entering the Spirit Burial Pool," Yuwen Hualong said.
Once those words left Yuwen Hualong's mouth, many of the younger generation present shot similarly resentful glances toward the elders.
"This labyrinth is indeed very difficult — that much my Ancient Snake Clan cannot deny. However, the fact that you failed to enter the Spirit Burial Pool is due to your own insufficient comprehension."
"Otherwise, how did young friend Chu Feng, the Holy Daughter of the Starfall Sacred Ground, and Miss Lingxi of the Chu Heavenly Clan all manage to enter the Spirit Burial Pool?" the Ancient Snake Clan elder said.
"What did you say? Chu Feng entered the Spirit Burial Pool?"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Hualong's expression changed dramatically, his eyes filling with unwillingness and fury.
