Profound Water Nourishes My Body, Wu Earth Strengthens My Bones, and My Fleshly Body Is Growing More Solid by the Day!

Lu Yuan's Divine Sense slowly swept along the hillside behind him. The originally loose hillside was now showing fine, yellowish-brown light patterns. The soil inside the rock strata was being drawn by a gentle force, gradually converging towards the gaps between the scales.

The change was very subtle, and the Little White Beasts on his back had not yet noticed anything unusual. Several cubs were still lying on the edge of the grass, nibbling on Spirit Plants. However, Lu Yuan could clearly feel that the rocks that were originally easy to loosen with body movement were becoming more and more compact.

"This Xuanhuang Deposited Sand really can nourish mountains." Lu Yuan muttered to himself, feeling a little surprised. He had only intended to strengthen his bones with the Wu Earth Essence Qi, but he hadn't expected that even the environment on his back would benefit.

Upon hearing the sound, Qi Yue immediately released his Divine Sense to examine the area. After a moment, he couldn't help but look up and say, "Fellow Daoist, the earth energy on the rocky ground behind your back has indeed become more condensed. This Earth Spirit Essence Qi should have already spread outwards along your scales."

Qi Yan also observed, his perception of the earth's veins becoming more refined. He quickly discovered that several small earth spirit points, which were originally scattered, were slowly approaching each other, but they were still far from forming a truly stable network of earth energy.

"Don't rush to add Wu Earth," Qi Yan reminded him. "You need time to adapt to the rock layers on your back. The changes you've made so far are already quite good. If you keep adding too much, the earth energy might accumulate in weak spots, which could damage the originally flat slope."

Lu Yuan listened attentively. The little beasts on his back were living well. If he were to rush to grow and suddenly turn the hillside where they lived into a rift valley, it would be a loss.

He slightly adjusted his Qi and Blood, allowing the Wu Earth Essence Qi that had already merged into his bones to continue to disperse to his limbs. Then he remembered the Mystic Water Essence that he had absorbed in the Eastern Sea before, and thought that its gentle and watery quality might help alleviate the heaviness brought by the Wu Earth.

Lu Yuan did not continue to open his mouth to search for new resources. Instead, he drew out a small amount from the remaining Profound Water Essence Qi in his body and let it flow slowly along the spine. The Earth Spirit Origin, which had been condensing somewhat slowly, finally began to slowly spread to both sides.

Two forces, one cold and one thick, each exerted their effects within his flesh and blood. The Profound Water continuously nourished his muscles and tendons, making the flow of Qi and Blood smoother, while the Wu Earth continued to slowly integrate into his bones. The entire process was devoid of any earth-shattering phenomena, yet it made Lu Yuan feel increasingly comfortable.

"This seems much smoother." Lu Yuan couldn't help but move his tail fin. This time, the movement was almost as smooth as before, and the surrounding clouds parted, while his massive body remained very stable.

Qi Yue's eyes widened in surprise. When Lu Yuan was absorbing the Xuanhuang Deposited Sand, he could clearly feel that the other's body was heavy and his movements were slow. Now, after a short period of time, that feeling of sluggishness had gradually disappeared.

"Your flesh and blood adapted way too quickly!" Qi Yue couldn't help but say. "If it were a young member of our Qilin Clan, refining this kind of sand for the first time, they would need to go into seclusion for a long time to truly integrate the earth's energy into their bones."

"My body is large, so it can naturally withstand more things, but if I want to refine the essence, I still need to put in some effort." Lu Yuan answered naturally, then turned his attention back to his abdomen, where a small amount of undigested Chaos Demon God essence remained.

After being continuously nourished by Profound Water and Wu Earth, the originally slightly scorching Chaos Origin gradually stabilized. Lu Yuan then allowed that power to slowly transform at its original speed, with pure energy continuously merging into his bones and scales, causing his body size to continue to grow.

Time passed slowly, and the Sea of Clouds surrounding Xuanhuang Ridge gradually calmed down. After Qi Yan re-examined the Restraining Patterns, he found that the drainage branch was functioning normally, so he did not disturb Lu Yuan any further and let him continue to digest quietly in the high sky.

Several young Qilins nearby had been gathered on the hillside watching the commotion. Seeing that Lu Yuan hadn't made any moves for a long time, they assumed that his cultivation had ended. However, after a while, the Blue-Horned Qilin suddenly noticed that the position of the giant tail in the distance had changed again.

It quickly released its Divine Sense to check repeatedly, then suddenly looked up. "Elder, it seems to be still growing! It clearly stopped growing just now, so why has its size increased again?"

The Red-Maned Qilin also looked over quickly, and soon sensed the increasingly powerful life force within Lu Yuan's body. Its eyes widened in shock. "He really can grow even while lying down! We usually cultivate for years before seeing any change, but this guy has grown even bigger with his eyes closed!"

Qi Yue listened with some helplessness, reminding the two little ones not to focus all their energy on others. However, he couldn't help but carefully observe Lu Yuan's Qi and Blood, and found that the other party would produce subtle growth every once in a while, while the physical structure remained stable.

Lu Yuan himself felt it more clearly. As the essence of the demon god's flesh and blood in his mouth continued to be transformed, his body length gradually increased from more than 107,000 miles to nearly 108,000 miles, and his originally thick scales also grew in sync.

"I really came to the right place this time." Lu Yuan thought to himself with satisfaction. The Innate Profound Water was responsible for alleviating the symptoms, the Wu Earth continued to strengthen the bones, and the Demon God's essence provided the real main energy. The three did not conflict with each other, making absorption much easier than before.

However, he did not continue to devour large amounts of demon god flesh and blood. He already had enough resources to digest, and every bone in his body was still adapting to the new power. Eating too much would disrupt the stability that he had just managed to maintain.

He first let his Divine Sense slowly sweep along the dorsal fin, waist, and abdomen, and found that the scales that had regrown after being shattered by the Shen Ni were gradually fitting into the surrounding flesh and blood. The gray-gold patterns were also clearer, and many of the originally small seams were slowly becoming tighter.

Looking further down to the tail, the bones of the giant tail were much thicker and heavier than when it entered Xuanhuang Ridge. A thought popped into Lu Yuan's mind: if he were to fight Qiongqi again now, he would probably beat Qiongqi's Great Luo Dharma Form even more badly.

However, Lu Yuan also knew that there was still a considerable gap between the increase in power and the ability to truly suppress top-tier experts Ancestral Dragon's Water Principle and Shen Ni's Fierce Sha Principle had left a deep impression on him. When facing such powerful figures, he still couldn't just think about sweeping them away with his tail.

Finally, after the last wisp of scattered Earth Spirit Essence Qi merged into the tail bones, Lu Yuan felt his whole body regain its lightness. The heaviness that had once slowed down the giant fins had significantly diminished, replaced by a more solid sense of power.

He flicked his tail fin with a little force, and a large Sea of Clouds immediately surged into the distance. The clouds, which originally only required a very light force to move, now even showed clear rings of compressed air waves. Lu Yuan quickly stopped his movements to avoid affecting the valley below.

Qi Yan was inspecting the area from the ridge when he saw Lu Yuan create such a heavy shockwave with a single flick of his tail. He couldn't help but gasp softly, "How much was that batch of sediment? How come his physical body has become so much thicker?"

Several young Qilins nearby were even forced back a short distance by the shockwave. When they realized that Lu Yuan had just gently moved his tail fin, the Blue-Horned Qilin's expression became quite interesting. It had been worried that the heavy sand would affect Lu Yuan's movements, but after he recovered, he even had more strength to swing his tail casually.

"I was skeptical when I heard he sent Qiongqi flying with a single swipe of his tail," the Red-Maned Qilin said, lowering his voice as he gazed at the slowly retracting giant tail. "Now that I've witnessed that power firsthand, I realize even Great Luo might not be willing to take it head-on."

Qi Yue watched intently as well, and then discovered that even after Lu Yuan withdrew his power, the shallow Spirit Veins below remained very stable, which gave him even more confidence in Lu Yuan's control over his power.

Lu Yuan released his Divine Sense again, intending to check if the little guys on his back had been affected. However, as soon as he swept across the woodland, he discovered that several strands of earth-yellow light patterns on the originally loose hillside were slowly extending in the same direction, forming a clearer Earth Spirit Vein.

Qi Yue also noticed the change at that moment. His gaze, which had been observing the giant fins, immediately shifted to the whale's back, and his expression became serious. "Fellow Daoist, the earth energy on that hillside on your back seems to be truly starting to connect!"
