In the dead of night, all was silent, the stars and moon shone brightly, casting down silver radiance. This place had finally become completely tranquil.
"Plop!"
Li Xiaotian leaped directly into the Heavenly God Liquid. The Heavenly God Liquid could not be collected or stored; it could only be absorbed on the spot. If it was not absorbed within a certain period, it would change and dissipate, merging with heaven and earth.
Therefore, Li Xiaotian certainly wouldn't waste it. He jumped directly into the Heavenly God Liquid to bathe. It was just a bit of a shame that this thing couldn't be taken out. Otherwise, he would have wanted to bring some back to the Jiuzhou World.
The crystal-clear water exuded a fragrant aroma, transforming into strands of sacred aura that continuously integrated into Li Xiaotian's body.
It was a peculiar process. Li Xiaotian instantly entered a very special state. His soul became even more transcendent, as if his soul had left his body. He saw stars forming and perishing, with only a single point of inextinguishable divine power remaining, slowly gathering.
It was impossible to tell how many star systems had decayed, dried up, and perished, only to undergo billions of years of evolution and accumulation. Their most fundamental divine nature merged, fused into one, and solidified into rock. This was the origin of these peculiar mountains surrounding him.
Heavenly God Liquid was born from the inextinguishable divine nature of high-level experts' roars, but it also required the cooperation of heaven and earth; neither was dispensable.
Heavenly God Liquid did not simply form when high-level experts perished.
The reason Heavenly God Liquid was born in this place was twofold: Firstly, a long time ago, a great battle erupted here, a battle of high-level experts, and at least one high-level expert had perished here.
Secondly, it was due to the uniqueness of this location. This was the place where this world was born. It contained the energy left by the destruction of stars in the void universe, as well as the creation energy generated at the beginning of the world's birth. The combination of the two formed this special place.
Li Xiaotian immersed himself, feeling the passage of time and the flow of years. In this process, he understood the origin of the Heavenly God Liquid.
It could be said that Heavenly God Liquid was a divine miracle. Its birth conditions were extremely harsh, but at the same time, precisely because its birth was so difficult, its effects were also incredibly heaven-defying. It could enhance the power of the divine soul, allow one to forcibly comprehend the Great Dao, understand the process of world evolution, and truly grasp the origin of the universe.
Li Xiaotian was devoid of self and external things, experiencing it earnestly, his heart becoming increasingly serene. Galaxies appeared and vanished outside his body; worlds were born, flourished, withered, and perished…
His divine soul was also continuously strengthening imperceptibly.
He comprehended bit by bit, slowly advancing, continuously illuminating, his physique glowing.
This was the Heavenly God Liquid. It did not merely strengthen the divine soul but also cleansed it from a spiritual level, infusing it with fragments of the Great Dao and imprinting the immutable laws of the universe.
Li Xiaotian continued to experience, disregarding time and space, feeling the wondrousness of the Heavenly God Liquid, allowing himself to comprehend the Dao, sublimate, enhance his divine soul, and become stronger and stronger.
One must know that although his current strength was already considerable, his divine soul was still slightly lacking compared to his physical body. This Heavenly God Liquid could just compensate for the deficiency in his divine soul.
"If both the divine soul and physical body reach an invincible state, then after reaching the high-level, will I be able to contend with some established high-level experts?" Li Xiaotian murmured softly.
At this moment, he seemed to have traversed the vastness of the universe, connecting ancient and present, future and past, gaining a deeper understanding of life and death.
Strands of Dao patterns appeared on his body, especially on his forehead, which became intricate and complex. Fine lines emerged, as if creating heaven and earth.
Simultaneously, his Great Dao space was undergoing earth-shattering changes.
Within his Great Dao space, chaotic energy flowed and expanded, as if opening up the heavens and earth.
Suddenly, his body trembled, and amidst his enlightenment, he achieved a major breakthrough. His Devouring Great Dao had actually grown stronger.
This surprised and shocked him. His cultivation realm was already at the peak of the middle-tier, just one step away from the high-tier. One could say that taking one step forward meant reaching the high-tier.
Yet, who would have thought that his Great Dao would strengthen at this time, and he hadn't broken through to the high-tier?
He understood that this was a strengthening of his foundation, like a building's foundation. If the foundation grew stronger, the skyscraper built upon it would be more stable.
"Miraculous," Li Xiaotian whispered, his heart filled with immense joy.
The starlight shone, and Li Xiaotian's crown chakra glowed, establishing a certain connection with the cosmic starry sky, as if wanting to merge into one, becoming part of the Dao.
Mysterious symbols danced within his body, and runes flickered.
As a chain reaction, the strengthening of his divine soul also caused his physique to undergo changes.
His divine soul was growing stronger, his will becoming more vast and boundless, like a ruler of the universe, surveying the entire star field, observing the rotation of the sun and moon, referencing everything in the universe, and feeling the essence of this world.
The stronger the divine soul, the more condensed the consciousness, and the deeper one could perceive.
This was the process of transformation, and also the manifestation of his divine soul's strengthening. Because his divine soul had transformed and become incomparably powerful, his divine sense also became more terrifying.
A golden lightning bolt streaked across the Milky Way, accompanied by thunderous roars. A massive lightning dragon, winding its way, continuously devouring as it passed, as if wanting to consume everything.
Li Xiaotian's eyes suddenly opened, and two beams of light shot out, as if substantial, piercing the firmament.
"Rumble~~~"
An invisible wave spread out from Li Xiaotian's body, causing the surrounding mountain range to tremble.
This wave was too terrifying, deterring all directions. Mountains collapsed, plants withered, and the entire forest seemed to be swept by a fierce wind, rapidly drying out.
Ancient trees rapidly shriveled, turning into dust. The flowers and grass in some small valleys also withered, turning yellow.
"Boom!"
At the same time, muffled thunderous sounds echoed from within his body.
At this moment, all of Li Xiaotian's bones made cracking sounds, like drumming. His body seemed to contain the Great Dao of heaven and earth. Every inch of his flesh and blood, every meridian, every pore, every cell was breathing, beating, and circulating, like a vast universe in motion, continuously absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, nourishing his body, and nurturing his divine soul.
At this moment, various unusual phenomena manifested around Li Xiaotian's body. Ancient star systems condensed and floated, surrounding him, while primordial chaotic light descended, enveloping him at the center.
This was an all-encompassing evolution and transformation.
Li Xiaotian had never imagined that after bathing in the Heavenly God Liquid, not only would his divine soul become stronger, but his physique would also seem to have undergone even more remarkable changes.
He could clearly feel that his physique was even stronger than before.
Before, he could contend head-on with top-grade holy artifacts with his bare hands, but now, he had a feeling that even a semi-divine artifact would not make him fearful.
If this were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation. After all, even some established high-level experts could not withstand a semi-divine artifact head-on, let alone Li Xiaotian, who had not yet ascended to the high-tier.
