As soon as Brigitte left the Emerald Sacred Pool and stepped out of the secret realm, the elders of the Emerald Swan Clan surrounded her. One of the elders asked:
"Chief, why did you bring two human cubs into such a sacred place as my Emerald Pool?!"
"Yes, Chieftain, aren't you afraid they'll go back and tell the human powerhouses? If that happens, we—"
Before the other person could finish speaking, Brigitte said seriously:
"That's my daughter. She was playful and almost got killed by an evil spirit master. If it weren't for those two little ones, she wouldn't be back. You all know how important she is to my Emerald Swan clan..."
“That is true, but—” an elder began.
"There are no 'buts' about it. I am the clan leader! I have the authority to bring people into the Sacred Pool, and I have my own plans. Not only that, I will also give these two little ones soul rings!"
Upon hearing this, the elders' faces were filled with shock!
"Chieftain, you mustn't! You are the pillar of our clan, how can you sacrifice yourself to those two humans... Besides, that great one will definitely not agree to this! You must think twice!!"
An older elder knelt down anxiously and spoke, and the other elders followed suit, kneeling to persuade him...
This time it was Brigitte's turn to be confused: What's going on? How could these guys misunderstand like this?
Biji sighed and rubbed her forehead, saying with a wry smile, "When did I say I wanted to make a sacrifice? A few days ago, two reckless soul beasts broke into my territory and killed more than a dozen of my people. I severely injured them, so I'll give them my soul rings. They seem suitable."
Upon hearing Bi Ji's words, the elders finally felt relieved.
"We will obey the clan leader's orders!" the elders said.
"But those two soul beasts have nearly 50,000 years of cultivation. Can those two human cubs withstand them?" an elder asked doubtfully.
Bi Ji smiled. "I've seen these two children. They possess extraordinary talent and their future is limitless... I feel a strange familiarity with the power within the boy, but I can't quite place it. Besides, after being baptized in the Sacred Pool, their physical strength will be significantly enhanced. Furthermore, given that they are only at the Soul Master level, the fact that they each possess at least two ten-thousand-year soul rings is truly a rare occurrence..."
"Well then, we'll go and bring those two guys over right away..."
Brigitte nodded. "Go ahead."
The elders bowed and then disappeared from the spot.
Biji muttered to herself, "The power within that boy is so familiar, and that little girl even has a trace of the Ice God's power. No wonder they've gotten together. Hopefully, when you two grow up, you can ease the current tense atmosphere between humans and soul beasts..."

Ouyang Luoxue was completely immersed in the Jadeite Holy Pool, with only her small head sticking out.
Poor Qian Yuhan was directly driven aside by Ouyang Luoxue.
"This girl!" Qian Yuhan thought to herself with a helpless sigh.
The Emerald Swan was healing the dark power left in her body by the Chaos Cult in the sacred pool, while Qian Yuhan and the other began to concentrate and circulate their soul power within their bodies.
Qian Yuhan examined his entire body's meridians and was surprised to find that the resilience of his meridians had been greatly enhanced under the nourishment of the life energy of the Jadeite Sacred Pool. This meant that he could mobilize more soul power and release more soul skills at the same time in the future.
Previously, Qian Yuhan could release two soul skills at the same time. If she were to force the release of three soul skills, it would likely bring a backlash. After all, Qian Yuhan's soul power contained extremely pure light attributes, and if she was not careful, it would impact her meridians.
While this is a shortcoming for Qian Yuhan, at the same time, the light attribute added to all his skills will be stronger than before, making his soul skills even more powerful.
Now, after being baptized by the Jadeite Sacred Pool, Qian Yuhan felt that the strength of his entire body had been greatly enhanced, and absorbing 50,000 to 60,000 years of youth into his fifth soul ring was a piece of cake.
"This Emerald Sacred Pool doesn't feel as good as the previous Holy Pool of Light, perhaps because I'm on the edge of this Emerald Sacred Pool, where the life force isn't as strong," Qian Yuhan pondered silently.
For some reason, Qian Yuhan felt that something in the center of the sacred pool was guiding her to go there.
Her body moved uncontrollably toward the center of the Emerald Sacred Pool, while at the same time, the wings of light on Qian Yuhan's back slowly unfurled...
Ouyang Luoxue slowly opened her eyes and saw Qian Yuhan moving step by step toward the stone in the center of the Emerald Sacred Pool.
"Yu Han! You... don't go any further..."
Ouyang Luoxue kept in mind Biji's instructions before she left. Biji was highly respected among the soul beasts and should not harm them. What she instructed must be very important.
Qian Yuhan seemed not to hear him and continued walking inside.
It wasn't that Qian Yuhan deliberately ignored Ouyang Luoxue; rather, Qian Yuhan's consciousness had already been inexplicably pulled into the sea of consciousness.
Qian Yuhan looked at the pattern above his spiritual sea. The pattern was of his entire body's soul bones. The soul bones of his head, torso, left and right arms, and left and right legs were still dull and lifeless. Above them was a pair of wing patterns, representing Qian Yuhan's external soul bones... At this moment, the wing patterns were flashing, as if they were alive, and appeared unusually active.
"What's going on..." Qian Yuhan murmured.
At that moment, Qian Yuhan's entire spiritual sea seemed to be trembling.
Qian Yuhan steadied herself and noticed what appeared to be a green light not far away.
Just as he was about to walk in that direction, Qian Yuhan was blasted away by a wave of emerald green energy the moment he took his first step.
With a "bang!", Qian Yuhan fell flat on her backside.
Undeterred, Qian Yuhan stood up and tried to walk forward again, but "Bang!" her whole body seemed to be pushed, and she fell to the ground.
"What the hell is this... " Qian Yuhan exclaimed.
What puzzled Qian Yuhan was that as long as she didn't move in that direction, the air current would disappear.
"I just don't believe it!"
This time, Qian Yuhan mobilized his power and concentrated it in his sea of consciousness, braving the shockwave, and took a step forward.
After taking this step, Qian Yuhan stood still, and the aura and pressure disappeared.
Qian Yuhan was surprised to find that the bright wings on her back had unfolded at some point, as if they had stretched out when she took that step forward, and had absorbed the wave of energy into them.
"This is..." Qian Yuhan thought, "This is the life force of the Emerald Sacred Pool! Could it be that the reason my Wings of Light felt so excited just now was because they could also absorb this power?!"
To further verify this hypothesis, Qian Yuhan took another step forward...
