"Because of Elder Sang...?"
No matter how Ye Xiaotian thought about it, the only conclusion he reached was that Ba Zunan had saved him because Elder Sang was the Saint Slave's second-in-command.
He stopped dwelling on it. After applying the medicine, he inspected himself from head to toe.
The flesh Huangquan had nearly shattered was already showing initial signs of recovery under the effects of Elder Sang's potent healing medicine.
But the recovery was still too slow.
After a brief ponder, Ye Xiaotian spread a diagram of spatial profundity beneath his feet. His body gradually turned transparent before completely merging into space.
Crack!
The instant his body merged with space, his injuries transferred into the surrounding space as well.
In the blink of an eye, the space around him collapsed and shattered, revealing just how grievously wounded he had been after his battle with Huangquan.
But space possessed the ability to repair itself. After waiting a little longer, the space within the area returned to normal.
Ripples spread through the void once more, forming the blurry outline of a human figure that appeared to be struggling to break free from the emptiness of space.
Only after a long while did Ye Xiaotian finally manage to take shape again and return to a human body.
He examined himself once more. His injuries had completely healed. This was clearly a good thing, yet lingering fear remained in Ye Xiaotian's heart.
"Turning my body into space can indeed use the Great Dao of Space to heal my injuries, but the consequences are severe.
"The more times I become assimilated with space, the more my consciousness will gradually merge into the Heavenly Dao, until I ultimately achieve 'the same lifespan as heaven.'
"This is 'immortality' in one sense, but also another kind of 'death'!"
