The site where the Spirit-Devouring Life-Extinguishing Formation had been set up was actually quite far from Starfall Pavilion, nearly ten million li away. For Hun Changqing as he was now, however, it was only a journey of a few incense sticks.
After arriving at Starfall Pavilion, Hun Changqing swaggered straight through its protective restrictions. He spread his soul out to survey the area and discovered that Yao Chen's aura had become countless times stronger than before, and exceptionally solid. Although there was still some distance between them, Yao Chen now stood on the same level as him.
Clearly, Yao Chen had used the Half-Saint corpse Hun Changqing had given him to reconstruct his body, transforming from a soul adrift like rootless duckweed into a living person again. Although the Gu Clan had caused Hun Changqing to lose every last Bodhi Seed back then, Yao Chen had drawn upon his own years of accumulation, finally breaking through that bottleneck and reaching the Dou Sheng stage.
A smile immediately appeared at the corners of Hun Changqing's mouth. Yao Chen was an exceedingly stubborn man. Since he had chosen to use the corpse Hun Changqing provided to rebuild his body, it meant he had not rejected Hun Changqing outright because of his identity.
For a moment, Hun Changqing's spirits soared. After all, aside from his own fortuitous encounters, his cultivation after reaching Dou Zong had progressed step by step largely through the medicinal pills Yao Chen supplied. If they truly ended up standing on opposite sides, Hun Changqing would have felt genuine regret.
With a soft chuckle, Hun Changqing flew off, following Yao Chen's aura.
