Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2541: Forty-Nine Days

Disciples with exceptional aptitude on Fire Dragon Island can stay in the Dragon Blood Pool for eight to ten days, and with the immense Immortal Qi absorbed from the pool’s water, they can break through their limits and advance to the next realm.Most of the time, after advancing, the Fire Dragon Island disciples would immediately come ashore and return to their Immortal Residence to stabilize their realm.

This is because every disciple training in the Dragon Blood Pool knows that once they advance, if they do not leave the pool promptly, they will face a new wave of more violent immortal power assaults and endure greater pain.

However, if they can withstand the second wave of immortal power assaults, there is hope to stay in the Dragon Blood Pool for a full forty-nine days and potentially advance a minor realm again.

But if one cannot withstand the second wave of immortal power assaults, they will face the possibility of a realm crash and severe injuries.

Therefore, disciples of Fire Dragon Island with self-awareness will make wise choices and stop when it’s good.

Yet, there are a few arrogant disciples on Fire Dragon Island who, because of greed and reckless advancement, suffer from painful lessons, regretting it for life.

For the Dragon Maiden, the initial days in the core area of the Dragon Blood Pool are the most painful phase.

Even though she has an Innate Fire Spirit Root, with an endurance far superior to the nine fellow disciples, the impact from the water surrounding her is also multiple times that of the other disciples.

She sat suspended in the water; waves of immortal power surged to her from all directions, continually lacerating and tearing at her body, causing terrifying bloody wounds to crack open on her.

She urged her Immortal Law, circulating Immortal Qi throughout her body, striving to repair her injuries, but the rate of recovery was far slower than the rate of new injuries.

Her entire body was torn and bleeding, a bloodied figure indistinguishable in facial features.

Since birth, the Dragon Maiden had never endured this kind of penetrating pain, but her willpower was astonishing, enduring it all without a sound.

She knew that if she could endure this trial, not only would she break through and advance again, but it would also be greatly beneficial for her future cultivation.

If she couldn’t endure... she could have Fang Bai’s help and need not worry about a realm crash or severe injuries.

In any case, with Fang Bai by her side, the Dragon Maiden felt no concerns and could withstand the immortal power impacts of the Dragon Blood Pool without hesitation.

Compared to the Dragon Maiden, Fang Bai, possessing the Chaos True Body, felt not much pain, thus having free time to silently observe the Dragon Maiden.

Although the Dragon Maiden’s aura fluctuated in strength, her vitality remained vigorous, indicating that the immortal power of the Dragon Blood Pool had not exceeded her endurance limit.

In fact, when Fang Bai had just separated from the Dragon Maiden, he left a wisp of Chaos Immortal Qi in her body, which played a crucial protective role, allowing her to persist until now.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.

During this time, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor and other high-level officials of Fire Dragon Island, stationed not far from the Dragon Blood Pool, had been anxiously monitoring the Dragon Maiden and Fang Bai. At the first sign of their faltering, arrangements were to be made for them to come ashore or leave the core area of the Dragon Blood Pool immediately.

Relief came when the Dragon Maiden and Fang Bai’s initial situation, though dire, never reached the worst state—and actually improved with the passage of time.

"It is indeed not easy to hold out until now in the most core area of the Dragon Blood Pool!"

"The most difficult phase is over; the advancement of the Dragon Maiden and Elder Fang is a foregone conclusion!"

"Their future path in the Immortal Dao will be smooth!"

"Compared to the Dragon Maiden, Elder Fang seems more at ease, truly extraordinary for possessing Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root!"

"Next, let’s see if they can stay in the Dragon Blood Pool for a full forty-nine days!"

"Previously, the Dragon Maiden utilized the Dragon Scale Armor to advance a minor realm. It’s unclear if she can advance another minor realm this time!"

"The Dragon Blood Pool has a significant effect on Immortals in the Immortal King Realm, but Elder Fang is already a Half-Step Immortal Emperor; the difficulty of advancing is indeed immense!"

"It is always good if there can be an improvement in strength!"

...

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor and other high-level members of Fire Dragon Island closely monitored the disciples in the Dragon Blood Pool while discussing in low voices.

Since Fire Dragon Island discovered the Dragon Blood Pool, only a handful of Fire Dragon Island disciples have been able to immerse themselves in cultivation within the core area.

This time, with both the Dragon Maiden and Fang Bai entering the core area of the Dragon Blood Pool, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor and other island high-level officials held great expectations for them, hoping both could advance.

Several days later, the other nine disciples, with Qi Sea and limbs filled with abundant Immortal Qi, showing hints of advancement, gradually left the Dragon Blood Pool, returned to the shore, and went back to their Immortal Residence for closed-door cultivation.

Meanwhile, Fang Bai and the Dragon Maiden continued to sit suspended in the Dragon Blood Pool, eyes closed in cultivation.

Their bodies were like bottomless pits, continuously absorbing the pure, dense Immortal Qi from the Dragon Blood Pool water, replenishing their Qi Sea.

Fang Bai, in particular, absorbed the Immortal Qi like a long whale drinking water, and a large vortex formed around him in the Dragon Blood Pool, swirling into his body at a visible speed.

This scene stunned the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor and other high-level officials of Fire Dragon Island. They observed day after day as Fang Bai continued absorbing Immortal Qi, yet his Qi Sea showed no signs of being filled, leaving them shocked, marveling that a Half-Step Immortal Emperor like him could contain such an astronomical amount of Immortal Qi—truly incredible.

Fang Bai and the Dragon Maiden finally completed forty-nine days in the Dragon Blood Pool.

During these forty-nine days, they spent the initial period absorbing Immortal Qi and, later, entered a mystical cultivation state, akin to a "dream state."

In the dream, a formidable figure claiming to be the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor, with power nearing a Great Emperor, explained the Dao of Cultivation to them, greatly benefiting the Dragon Maiden and inspiring Fang Bai.

On the forty-ninth day, Fang Bai and the Dragon Maiden awoke from the "dream," exchanged a glance, and caught an indescribable joy in each other’s eyes.

"How is it?"

Fang Bai asked.

"Very well."

The Dragon Maiden replied.

"Then let’s return and enter seclusion!"

Fang Bai said.

"Hmm."

The Dragon Maiden nodded.

With that, they held hands and leaped out of the Dragon Blood Pool, landing on the bank.

"The Dragon Blood Pool is about to close. Let’s leave first."

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, not bothering to speak with Fang Bai and the Dragon Maiden, took them away from the valley where the Dragon Blood Pool was located.

Shortly after they left, the towering red clouds disappeared, and the valley where the Dragon Blood Pool was situated was veiled by a Formation, leaving no trace visible.

"Dragon Maiden, Elder Fang, you’ve spent forty-nine days in the Dragon Blood Pool; advancing shouldn’t be an issue, right?"

Upon returning to the Island Master Hall, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor couldn’t help but ask.

Both the Dragon Maiden and Fang Bai nodded.

"I advanced some time ago, and my realm is still not stable, so advancing again will likely be slower. Hmm, next, I might have to go into seclusion for three to five months!"

The Dragon Maiden spoke while glancing at Fang Bai, thinking that once she entered seclusion, it would be three to five months before she could see Fang Bai again, which made her feel somewhat reluctant.
