When all the purple marks on Zong Shou’s body began to disappear, the spiritual energy storm within the cave started to fade.

Happiness appeared on Chuxue’s face. She knew that Zong Shou was fine at this moment. His aura was locked up within his body, although no different from a normal person, but that shining lightning glow and rushing vital energy were really apparent. As for the benefits that Zong Shou had received, they were definitely immeasurable!

Often when direct descendants of Desolate Era God Beasts were born, they would be Grade Seven and above. One could imagine how huge all the essence within a Lightning Phoenix egg would be. At the moment, it was using Zong Shou’s body as a formation and was all sealed within, nothing leaking out.

Zong Shou’s actions were a master stroke. Using himself as a pill, this was an idea that no one in their era would have thought of.

According to her knowledge, if Zong Shou wanted to obtain the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg, he should have drank all the juices from the egg. What was surprising was that with just one finger, he could directly absorb all the Xiantian essence energy, and it was even more complete!

It was just like before at the Black Soil Swamp, where he directly swallowed the essence energy within the beast crystals. Who knows how Zong Shou managed to achieve that…

Zong Shou was already observing his body.

“Bone, Blood, Intelligence Meridians are all opened. Half of the Major Organ Meridians are opened. Let’s just hope that my foundations aren’t too damaged…”

He could feel that within his body, his bones, flesh, and skin, along with his minor and major organs, seemed like they were separating from his body, and were about to tear apart.

However, he had suffered from similar pains daily and was already used it, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. Ten times the pain and a hundred times the pain didn’t have much of a difference, both had exceeded the limits of what the nerves of his body could transmit.

With his strong resilience, he could barely suppress it.

As he observed the situation within his body, he found it had exceeded his expectations. Not only didn’t the worse situations happen, he was unusually lucky.

“My bones have become as strong as steel! The strength of my vital energy is also ten times that of normal people! My Intelligence Meridian has also been completed and my soul power has increased several times over!”

Although there was an intense pain in his brain, like stabbing needles, Zong Shou could clearly feel that his thinking ability was several times stronger than before. The internal training of the Intelligence Meridian, strengthening its vital energy directly affected the soul. The whirlpool within his soul ocean had also expanded four times over in a short time.

A portion was because it absorbed some of the essence energy, while another was the side effects due to his vital energy strengthening.

His bone density had also nearly doubled, be it skin or flesh, or his major or minor organs, they had all slightly improved.

When Burning Sword Wu Wei was stabbed through the eye with his Willow Knife and nothing happened to him, just feeling dizzy, it was because of his bone training.

The current Zong Shou was the same, even a level higher. Even if he was chopped down with a blade, he would be fine.

“Foundation and breathing stable, foundations are deeply rooted, as expected there are so many benefits! If not, I would have nearly died here. Today I have really taken one step right into the heavens, jumping into the Mythic Master Realm. Although my foundations aren’t stable, that can be rectified. Paying such a small price is so worth it!”

His thoughts at the end felt and sounded a little bitter. The price he paid today for absorbing the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg couldn’t be described as small.

Until there was a day where he could totally absorb all the essence of the Lightning Phoenix, this tearing pain would never fade.

Moreover, because he had to suppress the external energy within his body, and so could only use up at best forty percent of his strength. Even though his vital energy and body strength were much stronger, he couldn’t compete with martial cultivators at his level.

His current body was like a human-shaped pill.

In his last life, after that Sun Wandering spirit master obtained the egg, he refined it into forty-nine Phoenix pills. Pretty much each and every pill could help a Mythic Master, after consuming it, raise a rank and enter the Xiantian Realm.

Even though there were many other spiritual herbs added within, it was obvious to see how much essence energy was present within it.

In the future, how to totally absorb all this Xiantian energy, which was slowly stabilizing in his body, was enough to be a huge headache for him.

The lightning power of the Phoenix hidden within the seal was also a problem. A moment of carelessness would cause his body to burst into pieces.

“Just one Lightning Phoenix egg was enough to produce so many talents for a small sect, pretty much being able to compete with those nineteen spirit houses. Today all that essence energy is gathered in my body, who knows how long it will take me to absorb?”

Mocking himself, however he didn’t feel any despair in his heart. Instead, he was filled with joy and felt more relaxed than ever before.

Arriving in this world ten thousand years in the past, pretty much every day he was working hard in trepidation. Even though he was an Ascended expert in his last life, the head of the Seven Emperors of the God Emperor game, Sword Emperor Tanqiu, he still lived his life in fear, terrified of the next moment, of losing his life at the hands of those Xiantian experts. He had a body with talent and skill, but was unable to use any of them, and also unable to search for the pinnacle of the martial path.

Only today, after obtaining this Desolate Era God Beast egg, did he finally have the ability to survive whatever storm hit him in the future.

Although using his body as a pill added many uncertainties and numerous problems, compared to his inability to protecting his own life, it was a happy headache.

In the end, he asked for it. He was willing to take the risk of his body tearing apart to seal all the essence energy within his body, planning for the future.

The obstacle that Lingyun Long Ruo mentioned that day was definitely no weaker than his Dual Meridian Body. The more he prepared now, the higher chance he had of breaking through in the future.

At the current moment he had some rough guesses, there were just those few possibilities…

“Unfortunately, although I can obtain a few more of those precious treasures, explaining where they came from and not being doubted, this Lightning Phoenix egg is the only one. I have to think of a way to get those few other items in my hands!”

He thought back to how much effort he spent just to convince Yin Yang at Cloud Saint City, buying numerous ancient books and raising up many small clues to make him believe, and thus allow Chuxue to follow him into Blood Valley.

His actions were because he wasn’t willing to make others suspicious about him. After all, his strength was too weak. If he had the martial ability of his last life, even if others knew that he stole this body, what could they do?

Naturally because of Zong Shou’s last wishes, he didn’t want to harm Chuxue and Yin Yang.

Anyways, he didn’t care much about his name, he didn’t mind using the name of Zong Shou to sweep the world!

His consciousness entering his soul ocean, quietly looking at that swollen whirlpool and the thirteen Runes.

It was still transparent, with extremely few impurities. The essence energy obtained from the Lightning Phoenix egg was really pure, and even without using the Energy Leading Technique and Little Gold, he could merge them into his true qi and spiritual energy.

The current energy he had amassed within his soul ocean also obviously exceeded that of the Soul Observing Realm!

“The so-called Spirit Cultivation Realm is when the spirit master develops a sort of spiritual sense, strengthening his control of spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth. Although I have enough soul power, if I use spells it still feels that it is not refined enough….”

In a month’s time, although the twelve talismans helped nourish them day and night, sweeping his soul power along and absorbing spiritual energy within a hundred feet, it was just too short and the effects weren’t apparent.

Although the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg could increase his soul power, it couldn’t, within a day, develop his spiritual sense.

Suddenly, he felt that there was something moving on his head. When he regained his senses, Little Gold, who was hiding on his head, was now jumping and bouncing around.
