587: Chapter 587 Someone Above?

"Dulu, this is a true Genius, unlike you, who only calls yourself one." The woman teased.

"Hahaha~"

"What kind of Genius is standing here guarding the gate?" The short-haired man laughed, his tone carrying a hint of self-deprecation and some relief.

Once upon a time, he was also a top-tier Genius, but tens of thousands of years had passed, and he was still stuck at the Peak of the Dominator Realm.

The Undying Realm looked so close, yet so far away.

"Don't be discouraged. Our lives are long, and a few tens of thousands of years is nothing. We might still achieve the Undying Realm in the future." The woman comforted him.

The two of them had entered the Holy Land in the same era and had both been stuck at the Peak of the Dominator Realm for many years; in a sense, they were companions in misfortune.

"You're right. There's still plenty of time. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have an Epiphany and enter the Undying Realm?"

Nowadays, Dulu had come to terms with it. Countless Peak Dominator Realm cultivators were just one step away from breaking through; he was not the only one.

If something cannot be done, then let nature take its course.

Of course, this was not giving up. Achieving the Undying Realm was their eternal goal.

...

On the other side.

Xiao Weiqing entered the gate.

He quickly took to the air and flew at top speed toward the center of the valley. The timer had already started, and he didn't want to waste any time.

"So many people?"

Xiao Weiqing extended his Divine Soul power and discovered that nearly a hundred source pools were occupied, some with many people and some with few.

"Hmm, there's an empty one here?"

Xiao Weiqing detected an empty source pool at the corner of the valley and flew over quickly.

The pool was not large, only about one hundred square meters.

Xiao Weiqing dove headfirst into the source pool.

Although it was called a pool, it didn't actually contain water; it was filled with thick, tangible mist of Source Power.

The flowers and plants beside the source pool had been nourished by the mist and had transformed into Heaven And Earth Treasures. Xiao Weiqing judged that even a single leaf, if placed on Blue Star, would count as a divine charm treasure.

*Whew~*

Xiao Weiqing began to calm his mind, focusing solely on absorbing the Source Power.

Suddenly.

Xiao Weiqing felt the Source Power flowing into his body like a stream, making him unable to hold back a groan.

"This feels so good."

Xiao Weiqing immediately immersed himself in this sensation.

...

Not far from there, in a larger source pool.

"Eh? Did that newcomer who just arrived go to source pool No. 2?"

"Yes, that's source pool No. 2." The person speaking sounded somewhat amused.

They had all felt Xiao Weiqing releasing his Divine Soul power just now; only a newcomer who didn't know anything would do that.

They had been the same once.

"I wonder what will happen when Daphne finds out?"

"What else could happen? She'll just give that newcomer a beating."

The Daphne they were talking about was a Genius who had entered the Sixth Heaven three years ago through the Ascension Battle. She had taken first place in the Ascension Battle and was incredibly strong. She was currently ranked 5th overall in the Holy Land and 3rd in Cloud Realm Mountain.

Everyone believed that Daphne would enter the Seventh Heaven in the future.

That source pool No. 2 was Daphne's exclusive source pool.

Of course.

There was no such thing as an exclusive source pool, but everyone who had gone to source pool No. 2 had been beaten by Daphne, so over time, no one dared to enter it anymore.

"We can just wait and watch the show. Daphne didn't come yesterday, but she will definitely come today."

"Right, just wait and watch the show."

The veteran members near source pool No. 2 had all noticed Xiao Weiqing. They knew about source pool No. 2; none of them were new here, and everyone was adopting a wait-and-watch attitude.

Entrance to the source pools.

*Thud~*

A woman descended from the sky. She was tall, wearing a black combat suit that outlined her exquisite curves, with long red hair draped behind her. Her features were not stunningly beautiful, but she was very pleasant to look at.

"Daphne, can you make a little less noise every time you come? My ears are almost deafened by you." The short-haired man complained.

"Brother Dulu, then your body must be too weak." Daphne laughed playfully.

"Don't talk nonsense; my body is in great shape."

Dulu was slightly angry and quickly retorted, slapping his chest with a clanging sound.

Daphne laughed and said nothing more.

"I'm going in."

She swiped her virtual ID and walked inside with her long legs.

Watching Daphne's back, another woman said, "Xiao Weiqing is using Daphne's source pool. Do you think they'll fight?"

As the guards.

Dulu and the woman knew the situation inside the source pools. Source pool No. 2 was empty most of the time because it was occupied by Daphne; even if Daphne didn't come, no one dared to use it.

Just shortly after Xiao Weiqing entered, there was someone in source pool No. 2; it was almost certainly Xiao Weiqing.

Of course, this couldn't be blamed on Xiao Weiqing, but Daphne wouldn't see it that way.

In the past three years, the two of them had seen several Geniuses who had been beaten by Daphne for occupying source pool No. 2.

"It's hard to say," Dulu said. "I forgot about it just now and didn't warn Xiao Weiqing."

"However, if they're going to fight, they'll have to do it outside. They aren't allowed to fight inside."

The woman laughed, "Daphne knows that. She's been warned by you more than once."

...

Source pool No. 2.

Daphne stood by the pool, looking unhappily at the man sitting at the bottom of the pool.

Xiao Weiqing opened his eyes and looked up. He couldn't understand; this woman had been looking at him for a few minutes. Did she have something to say?

But he didn't know her.

Seeing Xiao Weiqing open his eyes, Daphne said coldly, "Come out!"

Xiao Weiqing frowned slightly, feeling displeased.

"I said, come out!"

Daphne shouted.

"Is something the matter?"

Xiao Weiqing's tone was cold, and he didn't give her a pleasant look.

"This source pool is mine."

Daphne said.

"What?"

Xiao Weiqing was stunned. He never expected the woman to say such a thing. If he remembered correctly, the source pools were public, and as long as one paid the credits, anyone could enter, even members of the Lower Three Heavens.

However, because the cost of the source pools was not cheap, very few members of the Lower Three Heavens came here, and even those from the Fourth Heaven were rare. Only some members of the Fifth Heaven and members of the Sixth Heaven would use the source pools.

"I said, this source pool is mine."

Xiao Weiqing frowned and thought for a few seconds before standing up and asking uncertainly, "Is the Holy Land run by your family?"

If that were the case, Xiao Weiqing would really have to give up this source pool; there was no need to offend this woman.

"Hmm?"

Daphne was stunned upon hearing this, and then flew into a rage.

"Good brat, you actually dare to play games with me!"

The woman reached behind her back, took down a crimson long spear, and pointed it at Xiao Weiqing.

"If you've got guts, come out!"

Seeing that Daphne looked ready to fight, Xiao Weiqing couldn't figure out the situation for a moment.

"Does she really have something to rely on, or is she crazy?" Xiao Weiqing thought to himself.

Just as Xiao Weiqing was at a loss for what to do, a figure appeared beside Daphne.

"Daphne, I've told you many times, you are not allowed to fight here."

The person who arrived was none other than Dulu.

Daphne snorted coldly and retracted her spear. "I know, Brother Dulu."

"Brat, I've noted this down. You just wait for me."

After saying that.

Daphne turned and left.

Dulu sighed, "I forgot to warn you earlier. Source pool No. 2 is Daphne's exclusive source pool. She doesn't like sharing a source pool with others."

Xiao Weiqing's heart sank upon hearing this. This woman named Daphne really had a significant background—she even had an exclusive source pool?
