Breaking Seclusion, Dou Sheng, Bodhi Heart

The gel, made from the Dou Sheng Essence Blood and Dou Sheng Marrow Saint, along with various medicinal herbs, undoubtedly contains immense energy.

Xiao Ming only cut off a piece of energy the size of his little finger, and his Dou Qi Realm rose rapidly, just like drinking water or tea.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

In an instant, a gentle breeze swept by, followed by a fierce gale. Centered on Xiao Ming, the vast lake was drawn in and condensed into a massive whirlpool.

The Heaven and Earth Energy contained within the Pill Realm rushed into Xiao Ming's body. Xiao Ming's body accepted everything without hesitation, as if it had turned into a black hole, absorbing and refining all of this energy.

One-Revolving Dou Zun, Two-Revolving Dou Zun, Third Revolution Dou Zun... Nine-Turn Dou Zun. By this time, Xiao Ming had completely absorbed that small piece of gel, about the size of a thumb.

"Half-Saint..."

Xiao Ming sat cross-legged on the lake, motionless, and muttered something to himself.

Xiao Ming didn't know how long he had been cultivating; he only knew that his cultivation was incredibly fast. With the help of that small piece of gel, he unknowingly reached the Nine-Turn Dou Zun realm.

At this point, Xiao Ming had reached the true peak of Dou Zun, and his body had undergone nine transformations, reaching the pinnacle of a mortal body.

One more step and one can become Half-Saint, a completely different realm from Dou Zun. This bottleneck has prevented countless Peak Dou Zun from breaking through to Half-Saint until their death.

Xiao Ming knew that this bottleneck couldn't hold him back; after all, he had only swallowed a piece of gel the size of his little finger, while he still had a piece of gel about the size of a brick.

"Eat another piece, and keep pushing forward."

After speaking, Xiao Ming took out the milky white gelatinous substance, and this time he cut out a large piece.

Put it in your mouth, let it slide down your throat and into your stomach, and suddenly a surge of energy bursts forth.

With his Dou Qi in an extremely active state, Xiao Ming's body was like a fully drawn windmill, with Dou Qi swirling around, drawing in all kinds of energy, crushing, assimilating, and absorbing it.

Inside a small courtyard in the Pill Realm.

Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian sat facing each other.

"It's been over a year, why hasn't Young Master emerged from seclusion yet?" Looking at the vibrant flowers in the courtyard, Qing Lin's expression was slightly gloomy.

Back then, the young master told them that he had only broken through to the Nine Stars Dou Zun, so why has it taken so long?

"Perhaps he has something to do." Xiao Yi Xian smiled gently. Although she missed Xiao Ming terribly, she wasn't as depressed as Qing Lin.

"Perhaps, but if Young Master doesn't come out of seclusion soon, what will I do about my plans to leave? There aren't any suitable snake-type experts here," Qing Lin murmured.

She had always wanted to help Xiao Ming, but her cultivation level just couldn't catch up.

Having finally caught up, Xiao Ming broke through again, and six months ago he even killed a Two-Star Dou Saint.

This brought Qing Lin's pressure to its peak. Her cultivation speed was already very fast, but it was incomparable to this kind of leap.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian smiled helplessly. Although the Great Elder allowed her to freely use many medicinal herbs in the Pill Realm to concoct poisons out of respect for Xiao Ming, which allowed her to improve her strength a little faster than Qing Lin, she was still no match for Xiao Ming.

"If you want to go out, you can just leave. The Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils needs to absorb the Dou Qi of powerful snake-type individuals to cultivate faster."

"I still want to say something less, Master..." Qing Lin mumbled, propping her chin up with her little hands.

Xiao Yi Xian was about to say something when she suddenly heard a loud bang.

Turning their heads, they saw only a green mountain peak that suddenly exploded, the massive mountain instantly turning into dust and rubble amidst the astonished gazes of onlookers.

At the same time, an overwhelming pressure, like the end of the world, spread out from the deep mountains like lightning!

Feeling the overwhelming, majestic pressure emanating from this, along with the familiar Aura mixed within it, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"This is Xiao Ming, he's broken through to the Dou Sheng!"

Qing Lin looked bewildered. Dou Sheng? Wasn't he supposed to break through to Nine Stars Dou Zun?

Besides Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, the members of the Small Pill Tower in the Pill Realm also felt this oppressive aura.

One by one, they hurriedly put down what they were doing and looked in horror toward the mountains.

A figure dressed in white robes slowly appeared in everyone's sight, stepping through the void.

"Xiao Ming?!"

"He broke through to the Dou Sheng realm?! Although his Soul Power is very strong, I remember he was only Dou Zun Eight Stars before!"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, exclamations filled with different emotions rang out throughout the Pill Realm.

"How is this possible? In just over a year, he really broke through to the Dou Sheng, and a true Dou Sheng at that?!"

Xuan Kongzi, who had come in to discuss matters concerning the Hall of Souls with the Great Elder, also looked utterly bewildered.

Previously, Xiao Ming was able to fight against Dou Sheng despite being of a higher level, which relied on his Soul Power. This is a completely different concept from his own breakthrough to Dou Sheng.

Even if Xiao Ming possessed some unorthodox Cultivation Method to devour the Great Heavenly Venerable's body, the speed couldn't possibly be this fast.

Unless Xiao Ming obtains the legendary Bodhi Heart, there is only a slight possibility of this.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree, instantly attained sainthood!

This is not an empty statement. Within the Bodhi Ancient Tree lies the Bodhi Heart. Those who obtain it will transform their hearts into Bodhi and attain sainthood with a mere flick of their wrist. This is not a rumor, because there have truly been powerful individuals with great opportunities who have absorbed the Bodhi Heart.

Finally, this powerhouse, whose talent was not particularly outstanding and whose strength was only at the level of Two Star Dou Zun, broke through all the obstacles to advancement at an astonishing speed in less than five years, and finally reached the level of Dou Sheng, shocking the continent!

However, the Bodhi Ancient Tree hasn't appeared for many years, so the Bodhi Heart is naturally nonsense and impossible to obtain.

As for the Bodhi Heart that was retained from the past? That's simply impossible.

This almost godlike efficacy is enough to drive everyone crazy. Whoever can obtain this Bodhi Heart will have a direct pass to advance to the Dou Sheng and reach the pinnacle of this world!

Who wouldn't take it immediately after receiving it?

Let alone Bodhi Heart, even a slightly inferior Bodhi Seed can greatly increase the chances of successfully advancing to the Dou Sheng.

When others obtain it, they all keep it hidden away.

Therefore, Xiao Ming's cultivation speed is truly astonishing.

The Great Elder beside Xuan Kongzi was much calmer, and he simply smiled faintly.

"No matter what method they use to break through to the Dou Sheng realm, as long as our Pill Tower's strength increases, that's all that matters."

"Let's go take a look. There are some things we need to discuss. Xiao Ming has had contact with Burning Flame Valley and Sound Valley, so we can see what he thinks."
