78 Chapter 78 Leaps and Bounds (1/2)

When all the purple marks on Zong Shou's body began to disappear, the spiritual energy storm within the cave started to fade.

Happiness appeared on Chuxue's face. She knew that Zong Shou was fine at this moment. His aura was locked up within his body, although no different from a normal person, but that shining lightning glow and rushing vital energy were really apparent. As for the benefits that Zong Shou had received, they were definitely immeasurable!

Often when direct descendants of Desolate Era God Beasts were born, they would be Grade Seven and above. One could imagine how huge all the essence within a Lightning Phoenix egg would be. At the moment, it was using Zong Shou's body as a formation and was all sealed within, nothing leaking out.

Zong Shou's actions were a master stroke. Using himself as a pill, this was an idea that no one in their era would have thought of.

According to her knowledge, if Zong Shou wanted to obtain the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg, he should have drank all the juices from the egg. What was surprising was that with just one finger, he could directly absorb all the Xiantian essence energy, and it was even more complete!

It was just like before at the Black Soil Swamp, where he directly swallowed the essence energy within the beast crystals. Who knows how Zong Shou managed to achieve that...

Zong Shou was already observing his body.

”Bone, Blood, Intelligence Meridians are all opened. Half of the Major Organ Meridians are opened. Let's just hope that my foundations aren't too damaged…”

He could feel that within his body, his bones, flesh, and skin, along with his minor and major organs, seemed like they were separating from his body, and were about to tear apart.

However, he had suffered from similar pains daily and was already used it, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Ten times the pain and a hundred times the pain didn't have much of a difference, both had exceeded the limits of what the nerves of his body could transmit.

With his strong resilience, he could barely suppress it.

As he observed the situation within his body, he found it had exceeded his expectations. Not only didn't the worse situations happen, he was unusually lucky.

”My bones have become as strong as steel! The strength of my vital energy is also ten times that of normal people! My Intelligence Meridian has also been completed and my soul power has increased several times over!”

Although there was an intense pain in his brain, like stabbing needles, Zong Shou could clearly feel that his thinking ability was several times stronger than before. The internal training of the Intelligence Meridian, strengthening its vital energy directly affected the soul. The whirlpool within his soul ocean had also expanded four times over in a short time.

A portion was because it absorbed some of the essence energy, while another was the side effects due to his vital energy strengthening.

His bone density had also nearly doubled, be it skin or flesh, or his major or minor organs, they had all slightly improved.

When Burning Sword Wu Wei was stabbed through the eye with his Willow Knife and nothing happened to him, just feeling dizzy, it was because of his bone training.

The current Zong Shou was the same, even a level higher. Even if he was chopped down with a blade, he would be fine.

”Foundation and breathing stable, foundations are deeply rooted, as expected there are so many benefits! If not, I would have nearly died here. Today I have really taken one step right into the heavens, jumping into the Mythic Master Realm. Although my foundations aren't stable, that can be rectified. Paying such a small price is so worth it!”

His thoughts at the end felt and sounded a little bitter. The price he paid today for absorbing the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg couldn't be described as small.

Until there was a day where he could totally absorb all the essence of the Lightning Phoenix, this tearing pain would never fade.

Moreover, because he had to suppress the external energy within his body, and so could only use up at best forty percent of his strength. Even though his vital energy and body strength were much stronger, he couldn't compete with martial cultivators at his level.

His current body was like a human-shaped pill.

In his last life, after that Sun Wandering spirit master obtained the egg, he refined it into forty-nine Phoenix pills. Pretty much each and every pill could help a Mythic Master, after consuming it, raise a rank and enter the Xiantian Realm.
