After a moment of panic, Chen Xiao calmed down and thought about it carefully. He instantly understood what was going on.

It was all his fault for being too greedy! He had eaten too much of Zhu Jiuyin's meat, which led to a buildup of spiritual energy in his body, almost bursting his stomach!

The current problem was how to deal with this spiritual energy.

Logically speaking, Chen Xiao's cultivation required a lot of spiritual energy; the more, the better.

But that was when the spiritual energy was outside his body. Now that the spiritual energy was inside, how could this mere mortal shell withstand such a massive amount?

Now there were only two paths to take. The first was to find a way to release it.

This path was difficult because the spiritual energy hadn't been refined yet and, theoretically, didn't belong to Chen Xiao. Therefore, Chen Xiao couldn't release it using his cultivation techniques.

Besides, Chen Xiao was unwilling to waste so much spiritual energy.

The second path was more realistic: to absorb and refine it all as quickly as possible before his body was blown to pieces.

This path seemed beneficial to Chen Xiao, but it was fraught with danger. At this moment, time became incredibly precious!

As soon as these two paths appeared in Chen Xiao's mind, he made a decision in a flash.

Absorb and refine!

Chen Xiao immediately sat down cross-legged and wholeheartedly began to circulate the Canglan (Azure Wave) Sutra!

The vortex of energy within his body began to spin wildly, drawing the spiritual energy from his stomach, through his meridians, and into the vortex!

This was a long process...

Finally, Chen Xiao absorbed the last trace of spiritual energy from his stomach. He slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of light burst forth.

Chen Xiao didn't know how much time had passed, because there was no concept of time in this place, no rising and setting sun, and no way to count the days.

But Chen Xiao estimated that at least half a month had passed. He wondered how the outside world was doing now.

Chen Xiao exhaled a breath of stale air. His efforts for so long had not been in vain.

His Nine Revolutions Canglan Sutra had broken through; it had now reached the fifth revolution!

In Chen Xiao's plan, it would originally take at least half a year to break through.

However, by a twist of fate, under the crisis of exploding, Chen Xiao went all out, stimulated all the potential of his body, and broke through to the fifth revolution in the shortest time.

The biggest change in the fifth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Canglan Sutra was that Chen Xiao's body had become the Canglan Sacred Body!

Zhu Jiuyin's scales were impressive, impervious to water and fire, and invulnerable to weapons, but compared to Chen Xiao's Canglan Sacred Body, they were nothing.

With this Canglan Sacred Body, Chen Xiao could be called invincible. At least, he felt that nothing on Earth could harm him anymore.

Not even a nuclear bomb!

Moreover, if he had possessed the Canglan Sacred Body before, he wouldn't have been in such a mess after eating a few pieces of Zhu Jiuyin's meat!

Now, let alone a few pieces, even if he ate all of Zhu Jiuyin's remaining flesh and blood, he would smile and definitely wouldn't feel full!

At this moment, Chen Xiao suddenly noticed that Zhu Jiuyin's corpse was still lying beside him after so long, showing no signs of decay.

Chen Xiao was stunned, because he knew that Zhu Jiuyin's corpse wasn't decaying not because of the corpse itself, but because of the environment here.

This world was mysterious and strange, with many things waiting for Chen Xiao to explore.

However, Chen Xiao had already wasted too much time here and had to leave now.

Just as Chen Xiao was thinking about how to get out, he suddenly felt a flash of white light before his eyes. He was already out, and still at the foot of the mountain, the very place where he had beheaded Zhu Jiuyin.

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up. He moved his mind again, and the next second, he returned to the world inside the Yin-Yang Jade.

This made Chen Xiao overjoyed. Being able to freely travel between the Yin-Yang Jade and the real world was a great improvement!

Moreover, this Yin-Yang Jade could also serve as a personal storage space, because only he could enter; no one else could come in at all.

This was much more impressive than the storage rings of the cultivation world!

After going back and forth a few times, Chen Xiao put away his playful thoughts. It was time to get down to business.

There was no one around. Chen Xiao wasn't surprised; after all, more than half a month had passed. Even if they wanted to stay, they couldn't. Once the Qingxin Pills (Heart-Clearing Pills) wore off, they wouldn't be able to withstand the surrounding fire poison!

So Chen Xiao planned to go up the mountain first to see if the branches at the top of the crimson blood tree were still there. If they weren't, it meant that Uncle Gu and the others had already taken them, and he could leave directly.

Chen Xiao walked up the mountain with a light heart, but before he had taken two steps, he suddenly felt the surrounding barrier.

Chen Xiao frowned and punched out, instantly shattering the barrier!

Although he didn't know where this barrier came from, Chen Xiao wouldn't be polite to anyone who dared to block his path!

Chen Xiao didn't care and then walked towards the top of the mountain. When he reached the top, his eyes widened in shock.

Because Gu Zhendong and Li Qin were lying on the ground, their butts up in the air, looking at something, even He Xinyi was there.

Chen Xiao was immediately shocked. Why were they still here? Why weren't they afraid of the fire poison? Could it be that once Zhu Jiuyin disappeared, the fire poison disappeared as well?

Chen Xiao was full of doubts and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Chen Xiao?! You're finally back! Where did you go? We were so worried about you!"

Everyone was excited and excited to see Chen Xiao back!

"I've been gone for so long, and you've been waiting here all this time?"

Seeing that these people hadn't abandoned him, Chen Xiao was very touched.

But Gu Zhendong said with a blank expression, "It hasn't been long, only an hour or so..."

"Huh?"

Chen Xiao's eyes widened, and the expression on his face was even more surprised.

But then he reacted. It must be because the flow of time in the Yin-Yang Jade was different from the outside world, which was why this happened.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao was overjoyed again.

This Yin-Yang Jade was really a good thing!

At least half a month had passed inside, but only a little over an hour had passed outside!

In the future, cultivating inside could greatly increase his cultivation speed!

"What's wrong, Chen Xiao? You look a little strange?"

Gu Zhendong scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look.

"It's nothing, nothing."

Chen Xiao chuckled and walked over. He didn't want to mention the secret of the Yin-Yang Jade to anyone for the time being.

"What are you guys looking at?"

Chen Xiao leaned over and realized that Xiao Hei was jumping up and down below, as if looking for something.

Li Qin said with a sad face, "Brother Chen, we didn't find the crimson blood tree. We're having Xiao Hei help us look for it below... Xiao Hei, no!"

Halfway through her words, Li Qin suddenly shouted. She didn't know what was wrong with Xiao Hei, but it jumped into the bubbling lava...
