The moments they had spent together seemed close enough to touch. For the time being, his love for Huo Zhi occupied the core of Xiao Yan's heart. Yet he also knew that Huo Zhi had most likely reached the final stage of her reincarnation. He could not disturb her lightly.
Xiao Yan rose and stretched, only to discover that the Dou Qi flowing within him had undergone tremendous changes. His reserves of Dou Qi had increased even further—nearly doubling compared to when he had first entered the Ancient Bodhi Tree!
Now, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi reserves were twice those of an ordinary one-star Dou Sheng! In this regard, even a two-star Dou Sheng would not be his match.
At the same time, his meridians had widened considerably, allowing his Dou Qi to circulate more smoothly and freely.
Even his soul realm had improved once more upon its original foundation. By Xiao Yan's estimation, it had now reached the middle stage of the Heavenly State Soul.
This was an immensely gratifying improvement. Upon reaching the middle stage of the Heavenly State Soul, even without using Dou Qi, his soul alone would be enough to contend with an ordinary one-star Dou Sheng expert.
Most importantly, Xiao Yan noticed a striking change in his heart. The heart, once formed of flesh and blood, now emitted a green radiance with every beat.
At the same time, Xiao Yan suddenly felt an urge to draw close to the Ancient Bodhi Tree, as though he and the Ancient Bodhi Tree shared a bloodline connection.
