Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!

Chapter 387: Chapter 344: Frenzied Drinking of the Divine Spring_1

Observing the Three Lives Great Marsh ahead, the strong warriors of various races were all excited now.

The journey was nothing short of thrilling!

For even with Qiantian Chess Saint, an extraordinary character leading the way, still, three to four thousand had been lost!

No other reason, but there were too many people, and the path discovered by Qiantian Chess Saint had its limits!

Those who couldn’t keep up were annihilated!

“We have finally arrived at the Three Lives Great Marsh!”

“Thanks to Qiantian Chess Saint, his intervention ensured our safety, truly an unparalleled figure in the path of chess,”

“All in all, it took us merely three hours. Had it not been for the Chess Saint’s guidance, I dare not think!”

Everyone was extremely stirred up!

Even the likes of Jin Lan, the Jīnlán Saint Monarch from the Golden-Winged Peng Tribe, were nodding in agreement.

Following Qiantian Chess Saint was indeed the correct choice.

“Three Lives Great Marsh holds countless sub-formations within its depths, maze-like and complex, with no rhyme or reason to be discerned—whether it be life or death, it is up to your fate!”

Qiantian Chess Saint spoke indifferently, finished speaking, he stepped into the marsh.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

All were hastening to follow.

But there were too many people, and with tens of thousands, many were too far from Qiantian Chess Saint.

“Ah!”

“Help!”

“I don’t want to die…”

Pitiful cries rang out continuously.

Those who couldn’t keep up with Qiantian Chess Saint were almost all on a path to certain death.

“This place is eerie!”

After walking just a few steps, Qiantian Chess Saint furrowed his brows and fell into silent contemplation.

Half an incense’s time later, he resumed moving forward.

As they progressed, deaths occurred frequently. The different races were frightened, tightly following behind Qiantian.

The more powerful ancient races, such as the Celestial Tribe, the Golden-Winged Peng Tribe, the Green Scale Clan, the Golden Holy Sheep Clan, and others, stayed closer to Qiantian and suffered fewer losses.

Many other, more ordinary ancient races, saw their strongest fall!

“Hmm? What is this presence ahead… It’s quite extraordinary!”

For a moment, a few Saint Monarchs leading the way had their eyes shining.

Up ahead, there appeared to be a pond!

A black pond, from which steam was rising!

“In legends, the Three Lives Great Marsh contains nine divine springs, each with its remarkable mysteries!”

Tian Haoyuan was also somewhat excited as he said,

“Is this one of them?”

Jin Lan, the Saint Monarch, also spoke with anticipation,

“It must be, only those nine Divine Springs would have such an intoxicating taste, making one feel so comfortable!”

Meanwhile, everyone looked at Qiantian Chess Saint.

Only he could break the protective chess formation of this place.

Qiantian Chess Saint made his move, and in an instant, the formation appeared.

“Hook-Connected Formation… It’s not simple!”

Qiantian Chess Saint’s eyes held a grave expression as he said, “Everyone, retreat a hundred meters!”

Without delay, the crowd hastily retreated.

Afterward, he started to finger the white pieces, beginning the game of chess!

The opposing black pieces automatically fell continuously.

Boom!

A terrible aura surged to the skies as if two grand armies were locked in battle, fiercely contesting each other.

If anyone dared come close, they would surely be slaughtered!

“Too powerful! Qiantian Chess Saint is merely playing a game of chess, yet I feel as if I’m witnessing a great battle!”

“Indeed, a great battle. If we lose, I fear we will all suffer!”

The crowd’s faces were stern.

“Break!”

Finally, upon the sixty-first move, the formation shattered with a crash!

The black pieces lost!

The chess formation vanished in an instant!

“Wonderful!”

The group moved forward excitedly.

“The senior truly wields nature’s craft, unrivaled in the path of chess!”

Looking at Qiantian Chess Saint with a face full of flattery, Tian Haoyuan said, “Please, Chess Saint, be the first to partake of this Divine Spring!”

Their Celestial Tribe could advance this far only by relying on Qiantian Chess Saint; naturally, all resources must be offered for Qiantian Chess Saint to take first.

Qiantian Chess Saint also nodded his head, said nothing, and walked to the edge of the pond.

He scooped up a handful of water and drank it down.

However, a strange expression crossed his face almost instantly.

“What’s the matter, Chess Saint?”

Tian Haoyuan asked nervously, “Is there a problem with the water?”

Qiantian Chess Saint shook his head and said, “The water is fine, very sweet, with an exceptional essence that is indeed greatly beneficial to cultivation… It’s just that there’s an inexplicable taste.”

He even felt a slight sense of nausea.

But this was Divine Spring water!

How could it possibly be nauseating?

It must be a misunderstanding on my part!

Yes, that’s it!

Perhaps Holy Water is supposed to taste like this!

Hearing this, the crowd rejoiced; even a Great Saint level character declared the essence extraordinary and highly beneficial… For them, the lower-level cultivators, this was an even greater blessing!

“Drink up, this water doesn’t do much for me.”

The Qiantian Chess Saint spoke up, his gaze piercing into the depths beyond.

“As long as one can drink from all nine ponds of the Divine Spring Water, it would be a grand opportunity for me, perhaps even a chance to break through to the light and find the key to becoming a Quasi-Emperor!”

Upon hearing this, the various Saint Monarchs and Saints were all thrilled!

“Jin Lan, brother, let our two clans take the lead!”

Tian Haoyuan exclaimed!

It only made sense for the two Great Emperor clans to drink their fill first before the rest was divided among the others!

Immediately, members of both clans stepped forward, scooping up jug after jug of dark water!

“Delicious, so delicious!”

Tian Haoyuan guzzled the Holy Water, feeling his very being enhanced!

“Worthy of the name Holy Water… even Saint Monarchs benefit from it!”

Jin Lan and Jin Feng were also excited.

“Such an opportunity… hard to come by, if we miss it now, we might have to wait hundreds of thousands of years!”

Tian Zhiming was drinking fervently, as if gulping like a whale, exclaiming, “Satisfying, oh so satisfying!”

By his side, Jin Qintian gave a slight smile, filled a jug of water, and handed it to Ying Xiaoxiao, saying,

“Xiao Xiao, this water is a treasure, it can help solidify your dao foundation!”

Ying Xiaoxiao took the water from Jin Qintian, feeling sweet inside, drank a mouthful, but then her brows slightly furrowed.

How come…

How come there seems to be a funky smell??

She glanced subconsciously at the pond water… a bad premonition forming in her heart!

“Drink a bit more, Xiao Xiao, don’t stop; if you miss out, there won’t be any left!”

Jin Qintian was urging her on, having gulped down several mouthfuls himself, finding it too exhilarating, too addictive!

“It’s definitely Holy Water… no problems at all!”

Ying Xiaoxiao also muttered to herself because she could feel it— the effects of this water were indeed very remarkable!

She continued to chug several mouthfuls, a trace of water dripping from the corner of her mouth, her little stomach even slightly bloated from the drinking!

Most of one pond’s worth of water was divided between the Celestial Tribe and the Golden-Winged Peng Tribe.

Only a small part was left over for the Green Scale Clan, Golden Holy Sheep Clan, Celestial Phenomenon Tribe, and others!

“Qingzheng, drink sparingly, don’t waste it; make sure you refine every drop thoroughly!”

The Ancient Saint Yu Hongshao of the Green Scale Clan advised Saint Yu Qingzheng carefully!

“Feifei, don’t be greedy; save some to bring back, enough for a year!”

The Saint of the Celestial Phenomenon Tribe also looked at Saint Xiang Feifei of his tribe with concern!

As for the ordinary tribes behind them, they could only suck in the air over the empty pool!

“Let’s keep moving forward!”

The Qiantian Chess Saint said indifferently.

They continued onwards.

After a long while, they reached the second pond!

The Qiantian Chess Saint stepped forward to break the formation again, this time with even more reluctance to end the match.

It took a full seventy-two moves to break through!

“The aura of the Divine Spring here is even richer than before!”

“It contains an even more powerful Saint Path essence!”

Everyone was even more excited.

The Qiantian Chess Saint stepped forward, drank two big gulps of water, and nodded,

“Much better than the previous one!”

However, that strange taste was still very strong!

After he had his fill, the two Great Emperor clans proceeded as usual.

Although they had drunk their fill before, they had digested most of it on the way!

At this moment, one after the other, they continued to drink wildly!

“Xiao Xiao, have some more, it’s good stuff!”

Jin Qintian was drinking joyously, passing some to Ying Xiaoxiao, urging her to take a few more sips!

…

At this moment.

“Damn it, centuries-old mud, it just won’t come clean no matter how much you soak it!”

Wu Dade looked at the Big Black Dog in the seventh Divine Spring pond with utter disdain!

After soaking in six ponds, as soon as the Big Black Dog jumped in, the originally clear Divine Spring Water would turn pitch black!

The Big Black Dog was getting anxious as well, saying,

“Woof, how can you blame this emperor?”

“Human Pet, come here and give this emperor a scrub!”

It felt that merely soaking in the bath wasn’t enough anymore!

The stubborn dirt had to be scrubbed away!

Upon hearing this, Wu Dade’s face changed drastically, and in horror, he said, “I don’t want to!”

But with a lift of the Black Dog’s paw, Wu Dade was suddenly propelled by a huge force to the Big Black Dog’s side!

The Big Black Dog bared its teeth in a threat,

“Either scrub this emperor clean or drink this emperor’s bath water!”

“Holy shit… I’ll scrub, I’ll scrub, okay?!”

Wu Dade immediately caved and started to scrub, saying,

“Ah… damn it, this filth… too disgusting!”

He had barely started when layers of grime began coming off!

The whole pond became blacker than before, even with clumps of old mud floating in it!

“Ah, you damn dog, you’re even shedding… ah, I can’t take it anymore!”

Wu Dade continued to howl in misery, reluctantly carrying on with the scrubbing!

Jiang Li silently turned his head away, unable to bear the sight; too much more and he’d feel nauseous!
