Time had no meaning. It passed bit by bit, yet seemed to vanish in the blink of an eye. At the edge of the cliff, dense energy began to surge madly toward the area beneath the peach tree.
Moreover, the gathering speed grew faster and faster. In the end, it formed an enormous energy vortex several zhang wide in midair above the valley, its center pointed directly at the cave.
The energy was tremendously vast. Any ordinary Dou Wang would likely have advanced to Dou Emperor long ago with such an amount.
Ordinary Dou Wangs did not plunder the energy of heaven and earth so frantically when advancing to Dou Emperor, because the energy they absorbed was merely refined by the Cultivation Method within their bodies.
Xiao Yi Xian was different. Not only did she possess the powerful and tyrannical Cultivation Method known as "Flowing Dragon Clear Shadow," but there was also a Heavenly Flame within her body, constantly protecting her.
Added to that were the refining effects of the Green Lotus Stone Seat and the White Dragon's aura. The energy pouring in from heaven and earth had to pass through all three barriers. Thus, an energy stream as thick as an arm would be refined into a wisp no larger than a thumb after passing through them.
Afterward, it underwent further refinement through the Flowing Dragon Clear Shadow Cultivation Method, shrinking again. As a result, the energy Xiao Yi Xian could absorb was naturally reduced greatly in volume.
Of course, though its volume had decreased, this brought Xiao Yi Xian limitless benefits. With such pure Dou Qi, her foundation at the Dou Emperor level would be far more solid than that of an ordinary Dou Emperor. This would play a crucial role in her future advancement toward higher realms.
