His hand curled slightly, drawing the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva from the jade box beside him into his palm. His gaze sharpened as a pinkish-white Demonic Flame separated from Xiao Yi Xian's body, wrapping around the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva.

As the flames came into contact with the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, it immediately churned violently as though provoked, seemingly trying to break free from the flames.

Naturally, Xiao Chen would not allow that. Though the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva possessed wondrous effects, it had to be lightly refined by a Heavenly Flame before it could be applied directly to Xiao Yi Xian.

His hand clenched slightly, and the pinkish-white Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame surged even more fiercely. Under that terrifying temperature, the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva stopped writhing after only a few breaths.

"What is this?"

Just as the refinement was swiftly completed and he was about to pull the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva from the flames, he suddenly gave a cry of surprise. Amid the burning of the Heavenly Flame, a great amount of emerald-green dust unexpectedly drifted out from the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. The dust slowly descended, yet it did not completely separate from the mass of Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. Instead, it continuously gathered beneath it, forming an emerald-green bead less than the size of a thumb in the blink of an eye.

The instant the emerald-green bead took shape, the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva trembled slightly. The bead then fell free, and Xiao Chen grabbed it in one swift motion. The green bead was not smooth to the touch, but rather somewhat rough. Yet when he held it in his palm, he could feel vigorous life force within it.

"A Bodhi Seed?" He stared at the inexplicably formed emerald-green bead in his hand with astonishment. A moment later, his eyes abruptly narrowed as he exclaimed.

Like the Bodhi Heart, the Bodhi Seed was also an item of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Yet it was just as rare as the Bodhi Heart. Generally speaking, once it fell from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it would turn to dust in an instant, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain.

And in the original story, Xiao Yan seemed to have sensed the Bodhi Ancient Tree through a Bodhi Seed.

There was no time to ponder the Bodhi Seed. After putting it away, Xiao Chen swiftly glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, whose eyes were tightly shut and whose body was trembling faintly. He then grabbed the green Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva from the flames, took a deep breath, and pressed it firmly against Xiao Yi Xian's smooth, fair lower abdomen.

Though he did not know what exactly had happened, resolving the Calamity Poison Body was still the most critical matter now.

If he failed, he would have no choice but to destroy Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body.

Fortunately, the instant the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva touched Xiao Yi Xian's body, it slipped silently into her body through the pores of her skin amid a series of faint rustling sounds.

As the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva entered her, a vibrant emerald-green color rapidly spread from her lower abdomen. Within several breaths, it enveloped Xiao Yi Xian's entire body. Countless droplets of emerald-green liquid clung to every corner of her body. Under the nourishment of the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, her meridians, muscles, and other parts that had previously lost some vitality due to the poison qi were restored to life. Moreover, that life force was even richer than before.

Her cultivation was also rising rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she had reached Da Dou Shi, and it was still increasing.

Xiao Chen did not forcibly stop it, because this would not harm Xiao Yi Xian's foundation.

"The Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva truly is rather mysterious." Sensing the rapidly reviving vitality within Xiao Yi Xian, joy flashed through his eyes. Its effect had exceeded his expectations.

"Next comes resolving the Calamity Poison power." Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, his expression turning solemn once more. He pressed two fingers together and rapidly tapped Xiao Yi Xian's lower abdomen. With each tap, a crack opened in the pinkish-white Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame surrounding the gray qi vortex. Streams of emerald-green liquid swiftly slipped through the gap and, with faint gurgling sounds, rushed into the gray poisonous qi vortex. As the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva touched it, the gray poisonous qi filled with deathly aura immediately reacted violently. The gray qi churned madly, while the stench of death contained within it was swiftly neutralized and dissolved by the life force in the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva.

"Circulate your Dou Qi, compress the poisonous qi, and form a Poison Pill!"

Feeling the deathly aura within the gray poisonous qi rapidly fade, Xiao Chen shouted sharply. His voice was like thunder, booming directly into the depths of Xiao Yi Xian's soul. Under his shout, Xiao Yi Xian regained a measure of clarity and hurriedly circulated her Dou Qi. Following the method recorded in the Poison Pill Method, which she had practiced dozens of times already, she began gradually compressing the vast poisonous qi vortex. Under Xiao Yi Xian's control, the poisonous qi vortex finally began gathering toward the Monster Core at its center. As the poisonous qi struck it, the Monster Core began releasing violent energy, attempting to resist the erosion of the poisonous qi.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi Xian had already advanced to Da Dou Shi. Otherwise, with only the strength of a Dou Zhe, this step would most likely have failed without Xiao Chen's help.

Bang! The clash between the poisonous qi and the violent energy did not last long before a muffled explosion erupted. The energy inside the Monster Core was swiftly devoured and occupied by the Calamity Poison qi. As the poison continued corroding it, the Monster Core actually began to turn round and smooth, its entire surface suffused with a gray luster. The gray poisonous qi vortex spun ceaselessly at high speed, and the vast Calamity Poison qi continuously poured into the round gray Monster Core. As more and more Dou Qi flowed in, the Monster Core gradually shrank at a slow pace.

"It succeeded."

Sensing the orderly changes within Xiao Yi Xian's body, Xiao Chen finally let out a thorough sigh of relief.

This girl, whose fate had been somewhat tragic in the original story, had finally changed her destiny.

"Hm, what is this? There seems to be something beneath the ground."

Suddenly, Xiao Chen frowned tightly and looked down at the rolling magma beneath his feet.

His Emperor Realm soul could probe ten million zhang into the magma, yet just now, something beneath the earth had flashed past his perception.

"I'll go take a look. Stay here and protect her. If all goes well, I'll return soon. If she wakes up and I still haven't returned, take her and leave immediately."

"Are you ordering This King?"

"No, I'm asking you for a favor."

"This King can agree to that."

"Then be careful."

Medusa Queen could not imagine how terrifying the existence that made even Xiao Chen feel dread must be, if he did not dare to take her with him.

Even when facing the Nihility Devouring Flame, Xiao Chen had still refined it and kept it on him. Yet now, he chose to leave her behind.

Though his reason was perfectly sound, what he said was rather foolish.

This child was clearly not very clever.

One hundred thousand zhang beneath the earth.

A massive Stone Altar appeared within Xiao Chen's field of vision. An ancient aura emanated from the altar, suggesting that it had existed for an exceptionally long time.

Just as Xiao Chen drew closer to the altar, beams of light shot violently from the Stone Altar. The light pillars intertwined, seemingly forming a terrifying light formation with a diameter of a million zhang.

Xiao Chen stopped, narrowing his eyes at the strange light formation. The formation descended and completely enveloped the altar. Yet this sight made the corner of his eye twitch, because the formation did not seem to be protecting the altar. Rather, it looked more like it was suppressing it.

"What a terrifying seal."

"Leave."

The ethereal voice carried boundless majesty.

As the voice rang out, an immense and vast pressure descended upon Xiao Chen.

Once the pressure enveloped him, even with his cultivation at the nine-star Dou Saint level, he felt the Dou Qi within his body stagnate.

"System, can you investigate what this is?"

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Xiao Chen asked.

"System scan in progress..."

"System scan in progress..."

"System scan in progress..."

"A Heavenly Supreme seal. A Demon Emperor-level Outer Realm Evil Clan is sealed within the altar. However, Host need not worry. The altar's seal is extremely strong, and it continuously absorbs energy from the endless void to replenish its expenditure. There is no need to worry that the seal will break."

"Furthermore, according to the scan, this altar merely arrived here along with spatial turbulence. It will likely disappear before long. Host need not worry."
