Evolution Successful, Golden Qi Sea

Within Medicine Valley.

As Xiao Yi Xian's aura soared at an astonishing rate, the Elegant Man's figure also became increasingly illusory, as though he would completely vanish from this world the next moment. Yet he seemed unconcerned, a faint smile still resting on his face.

With a casual wave of his hand, the two Medicine Puppet Kings that had ceased moving behind him both landed beside Xiao Yi Xian. Then, the Elegant Man guided Xiao Yi Xian's own aura into the bodies of the Medicine Puppet Kings.

"These two Medicine Puppet Kings are my final works, and proof that I once existed in this era. I'll give them to you, little girl. Hehe..."

Within the Desert Sinkhole, the heavenly phenomenon continued to shift endlessly. Amid the enormous flames below, a massive python appeared out of thin air. Its body seemed to have been reborn within the fire, dazzlingly magnificent!

Every scale on the flaming python shimmered with seven-colored light. Within the area encircled by its enormous body, a graceful figure lay quietly. Her snake tail gradually faded away, replaced by a pair of slender, fair jade legs.

If any man witnessed this scene, he would likely have a nosebleed on the spot.

Unfortunately, no one was there to feast their eyes on it.

Though Lin Mu could sense that Medusa's evolution was proceeding smoothly, he could only perceive it vaguely through his powerful Soul Power.

"My Soul Power has indeed improved significantly, and with the help of the Six Paths Samsara Method, the injuries I suffered during the earlier battle are gradually recovering as well."

Lin Mu exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

"Since that's the case, I'll break through to the fourth star of the Dou Emperor realm now."

Overwhelming Dou Qi surged forth and shot into the sky. The Chaotic Small World behind Lin Mu also bloomed with mysterious radiance, while Black-White Dou Qi swirled around him, forming an exceptionally unique storm!

The space around this desert twisted violently. It was not only Lin Mu attempting a breakthrough here—Medusa was also undergoing evolution!

One could well imagine just how violent the heaven and earth energy in this place was!

"The Small World I opened up earlier can now attempt another breakthrough as well. I wonder when I'll obtain that legendary Creation Flame."

Mysterious Black-White Dou Qi flickered in Lin Mu's eyes. The Dou Qi that poured forth first circulated through the surrounding space before being absorbed into Lin Mu's body once more.

This cycle repeated over and over until he finally broke through that barrier. As an aura even stronger than before emerged, Lin Mu felt his body and mind relax completely. Unable to restrain himself, he let out a roar. In an instant, brilliant Golden Light surged forth. The Kun Peng Method activated, and a golden Peng Bird spread its wings, unleashing boundless might!

"The feeling brought by each star increase in the Dou Emperor realm truly is entirely different. The Kun Peng Method has become much stronger than before as well."

Lin Mu stood up and looked at the seven-colored light ahead, as well as the enormous Snake Shadow flickering within it.

"I wonder how long this evolution will last."

Lin Mu shrugged. This trip had brought all of them considerable gains, but the ones who had gained the most were likely Medusa and Xiao Yi Xian.

Although Medusa would sleep for a period after her evolution succeeded, once she awakened, she would become a true Dou Zong expert!

"There's still some time. I'll try cultivating the Innate Sacred Body given by the system."

"Cultivating this unique constitution really is rather bewildering..."

Lin Mu entered a meditative state once more. After activating the Sacred Body Cultivation Method, he felt every inch of his flesh and blood undergo transformation. It was a true metamorphosis, but such transformation was often accompanied by endless pain!

This was the process of a mortal body transforming into a Sacred Body.

"Damn it, why is it so painful..."

Bright red blood seeped from Lin Mu's body, making him appear like a man made entirely of blood. Yet the blood that flowed out strangely dissipated, only to be replaced by an exceedingly mysterious rebirth tinged with gold.

This process continued for a long time. Only after Lin Mu had lost consciousness and collapsed completely onto the ground did the pain gradually fade away.

However, what Lin Mu did not know was that his body had undergone earth-shaking changes during this process. This was a true transformation from the inside out. His physical body was now countless times stronger than before, and within him, a golden qi sea had inexplicably appeared.

This Golden Qi Sea was still extremely small, currently only the size of an infant's fist. Yet it seemed capable of continuously providing Lin Mu with power!

Half a month passed.

When Lin Mu awoke, he noticed that the heavenly phenomenon ahead had gradually vanished. He rose to his feet and looked toward the place where Medusa had originally evolved. It was completely pitch-black, and even the space itself had been burned into nothingness.

"If someone didn't know better, they'd really think Medusa's evolution had failed."

Lin Mu leaped forward. At the very center, seven-colored light flickered. He stepped closer and saw a sleeping Seven-Colored Little Snake lying there.

Every scale on the Seven-Colored Little Snake shimmered with a rainbow-like sheen, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"So this is the Seven-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python. Now I only need to wait for Medusa to awaken. In any case, she won't suffer from the aftereffects of her soul being unable to fully merge this time."

Lin Mu brought the Seven-Colored Little Snake with him, then clenched his fist and felt his utterly transformed body. His excitement was impossible to conceal.

"The Sacred Body really is incredible. The Golden Qi Sea in my body... it seems my current strength can only open up this little. Why does it feel like I have a powerful cheat but can't fully use it?"

Lin Mu scratched his head, then helplessly formed Dou Qi Wings and hurried toward Medicine Valley.

Lin Mu returned to where Blue Eagle was.

Blue Eagle, which had already become a Third-Tier Magical Beast, seemed to have undergone another change. Its feathers were as translucent as ice, and a powerful aura radiated from its entire body!

"Damn, it probably has the strength of a Dou Wang now. But it looks like this is the limit. You really got lucky, eating a Sixth-Tier Magic Core just like that."

Lin Mu stepped forward and patted Blue Eagle. "Let's go. I'll take you to find Xiao Yi Xian."
