There was a faint feeling that the volcano was about to erupt. The energy below was also being absorbed by Lin Mo.
The runes in Lin Mo’s Dantian were becoming more and more intense. They were emitting light and were extremely resplendent.
This was no longer absorbing energy. This was simply plundering. It was completely emotionless plundering. Wherever it went, not a single blade of grass would grow.
However, there was only one rune that was finally formed. It had been fused into the God Devouring formula.
This rune wasn’t big, but when Lin Mo carefully observed it, he felt a power that was enough to suppress the heavens and earth.
!!He could feel that the God Devouring formula had been sublimated at this moment. In terms of rank, it could be considered to be at the 1st tier of the earth grade.
Of course, this wasn’t his biggest gain from this trip. When the rune was formed, the energy that the God Devouring Body had absorbed had nowhere to go. All of it poured into his Dantian.
With such a huge amount of energy pouring in, his realm soared.
In the blink of an eye, his strength, which was originally at tier 25 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, broke through one after another. He couldn’t stop it at all.
Under the impact of the huge energy, he stopped at tier 29 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
The degree of improvement was enough to make others exclaim in admiration. As expected of the God Devouring Body. Once it survived the ordeal of devouring life force, the benefits it received were incomparable.
“There’s also the God Devouring Body. I can feel that its power has become stronger again…”
Lin Mo looked inside his body and felt that the God Devouring Body’s power had increased. His desire for energy had increased again.
Now, he could only rely on himself to cultivate.
Fortunately, he still had the system to return the profits from the auction. The resources weren’t a problem for him.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The black hole formed by the God Devouring Body had disappeared. However, the area within a thousand meters had lost its vitality.
There should be some treasure under the volcano. It contained a thick amount of energy, but it had already disappeared. The energy had been swallowed.
This also showed that the God Devouring Body was too powerful, and the amount of energy it needed was too huge.
If the treasures at the bottom of the volcano were auctioned off, it was likely that they would return even better profits. Moreover, it would also cause the entire world to clamour for it, and there would be a battle.
The symbols dimmed and finally disappeared.
At this point, Lin Mo’s cultivation had ended. He tried to activate the Soul Devouring Art, and he discovered that the surrounding space had fluctuated.
A suction force came from his meridians, and the God Devouring Body in his Dantian started to stir.
However, the surrounding spiritual energy was already so thin that it could be ignored.
This time, it didn’t have any effect. On the contrary, it was because there was no spiritual energy here, causing him to feel as if he had hit a rock.
“Oh right, I can go down and take a look.”
Lin Mo muttered. He recalled that the reason he was able to successfully come out of seclusion was because there was a type of heavenly treasure hidden below.
However, that treasure had already been destroyed. At least half of the spiritual energy in this land had been consumed by him.
The clear spring had long dried up. The ground below cracked open. Lin Mo dug a cave and dived down.
A moment later, Lin Mo found a giant rock with a diameter of three meters within five hundred meters.
On this giant rock, there would occasionally be a drop of pale yellow liquid that looked like lava.
Lin Mo absorbed the drop of liquid and discovered its extraordinary aspects.
This lava liquid was truly astonishing, containing boundless life force. Previously, because of the God Devouring Body’s explosion, it had been absorbed.
Now, his life force was recovering at an astonishing speed. After this drop of lava liquid was absorbed, his injuries had completely healed.
“Good stuff…”
Lin Mo said. He was clear about his injuries. At the very least, he would need a spirit-grade spirit pill to heal them.
Right now, this huge rock only needed to drop a drop of lava liquid to completely heal his injuries.
Following that, Lin Mo went into seclusion here. As the spiritual energy within this huge rock had yet to be exhausted, it still contained power within.
After a few days, the huge rock would drop a drop of liquid every day. Lin Mo absorbed it to stabilize his cultivation base.
After his cultivation base was stabilized, he stopped absorbing. However, he realized that the drop of liquid within the rock was getting slower and slower.
At first, it was one drop a day. Now, it had not dropped for three days.
“I think I’ve destroyed her precious cultivation ground…”
Lin Mo was embarrassed. He left the crater and found Bing Xin, who was guarding Jiang Xiyue’s cultivation.
The middle-aged woman stared at him vigilantly as if she was looking at a monster.
“Senior, you don’t have to be so wary of me…” Lin Mo was helpless. He wanted to come and see Jiang Xiyue, but the she seemed to be still in seclusion.
“The palace master has instructed that if you come out of seclusion, you can leave on your own,” Bing Xin said, repeating what Jiang Xiyue had said before she completely entered seclusion.
“I seem to have destroyed the precious land for your cultivation…” Lin Mo said a little embarrassedly.
Bing Xin nodded and said, “The palace master already knows. She didn’t blame you.”
After saying that, she looked at Lin Mo in surprise. This young man was very powerful, and his combat strength was among the top of his peers.
She didn’t know what relationship he had with the palace master, but he wasn’t blamed for destroying the palace master’s most precious cultivation land…
“Can I take the stone in the center of the volcano? I might have a way to repair it…” Lin Mo asked.
He had seen that Stone before, and it was originally filled with boundless vitality.
After being damaged by the God Devouring Body, it was already close to being destroyed. To repair it, one would need to consume countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
However, he could use the rebate from the auction to repair it. Under normal circumstances, the damaged heavenly materials and earthly treasures that were rebated would be repaired…
Items like the fragments of the enlightenment stone and the blood spirit crystal were all of the same type of rebate. However, they were larger in size and contained more energy.
“No, that stone is very mysterious. Putting it in the mouth of a volcano and absorbing the essence of the Earth is the best way to repair it,” Bing Xin rejected him.
If that stone really moved, perhaps this treasured land would be ruined.
However, she also understood that even though it could be restored if she stayed here, it would be a matter of a hundred years later…
“I have a way to restore it in a short period of time. It might only be a part of it, but it can reduce the recovery period.”
Lin Mo said confidently. If the refunds from the auction were large enough, it was not impossible for it to be completely restored.
“Why should I believe you?” Bing Xin looked at Lin Mo, the doubt in her eyes was not hidden at all.
“…”
This put Lin Mo in a difficult position. If he wanted to take away this stone, it seemed that he could only wait for Jiang Xiyue to come out of seclusion.
What if Jiang Xiyue went into seclusion for more than half a year? Wouldn’t that mean that she would miss the capital’s Dao Conference
Helpless, Lin Mo could only stand by the side and pray that Jiang Xiyue could quickly come out of seclusion.
Bing Xin didn’t stop her. She stood not far from Jiang Xiyue and sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing.
After five days of boring waiting, the peace was broken. A fluctuation came from the periphery of the danger zone.
Bing Xin and Lin Mo instantly became nervous.
However, they heaved a sigh of relief when they saw who it was.
“Senior Luo.” Lin Mo bowed. It seemed that Jiang Xiyue had been in seclusion for a long time, which made him a little worried.
“Is the palace master still in seclusion?” Luo Haoyu frowned when he saw Jiang Xiyue who had turned into a big blood-red cocoon.
