Fang Chen nodded slightly. Holding the Floating Immortal Sword, he walked to the Sacred Pool and lowered the blade straight into its waters.
The moment the Floating Immortal Sword touched the water, it began to tremble. The Formation Runes on its blade blazed with dazzling red light, and a powerful surge of Spiritual Power poured into Fang Chen. His body swelled at once. He felt as though he was about to explode.
The next instant, Fang Chen activated the Glazed Golden Body, and his body grew enormous.
As his body grew, the speed at which he absorbed energy rose sharply.
Most of the power pouring from the Floating Immortal Sword into Fang Chen was absorbed by his Foundation Establishment Dao Platform. He could feel the power within him soaring.
"What tremendous power!"
Fang Chen could not help exclaiming.
Seeing him like this, the myna bird asked, "How is it?"
Fang Chen replied, "The Saint Force in this pool is extremely fierce. I don't know whether I can withstand the Holy Water's power directly!"
With that, Fang Chen pulled out the Floating Immortal Sword. Droplets still clung to its blade, but a moment later they vanished, completely absorbed by the sword.
Everyone inside Little Crane was surprised. They had not expected the sword in Fang Chen's hand to be so formidable.
Fang Chen tried putting his hands into the Sacred Pool. As soon as they touched the Holy Water, he felt threads of scorching energy burrow into them and race along his meridians. The energy was so fierce it nearly burst them open. But Fang Chen's body was already extraordinarily tough, even tougher than the Purple-eyed Vajra Giant Ape King's after its Metamorphosis from absorbing Holy Water. The energy did not do him much harm.
Of course, that was only the
