Chapter 651: The Awakening of Xiao Yi Xian
Xiao Ze's eyes shimmered with a radiant emerald and golden light, unwilling to miss this rare opportunity. After all, he had waited so long for a chance when the nebula barrier would draw energy from the stellar barrier. Who knows how long it would take for the nebula barrier to activate again after this absorption. Therefore, Xiao Ze would not let go of such an opportunity.
The power of space enveloped Xiao Ze, and in the next instant, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a strand of dense stellar power. In the space within the nebula, Xiao Ze appeared in front of the Heart of the Stars, his eyes flickering with surprise.
After the expansion of the nebula barrier, the space inside the nebula no longer appeared infinitely enlarged as Xiao Ze had previously sensed and had returned to its normal size. This allowed Xiao Ze to directly use his spatial displacement abilities to position himself in front of the Heart of the Stars.
However, looking at the Heart of the Stars, Xiao Ze hesitated for a moment and then used the purest power he possessed, the roots of the Origin Tree. As his fundamental power, the Origin Tree roots were indeed the purest force Xiao Ze had.
Such precious natural treasures are usually very delicate, and to avoid contaminating the Heart of the Stars and turning it into waste, Xiao Ze wrapped it with the Origin Tree roots.
Feeling that the Origin Tree roots had successfully enveloped the Heart of the Stars without contaminating it, Xiao Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that everything went so smoothly, Xiao Ze could relax. After all, the surrounding nebula barrier had no intelligence or even spirituality; it was just a pure protective barrier and naturally posed no danger to Xiao Ze.
However, when Xiao Ze picked up the sphere formed by the Origin Tree roots, his expression changed slightly. The weight of the sphere was beyond his expectations. Compared to gold or stone of the same volume, the Heart of the Stars could be billions of times heavier! But, prepared for this, Xiao Ze still managed to lift it. After all, with Xiao Ze's current physical strength, he could even lift mountains!
Then, Xiao Ze stored it within his spatial ring, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the nebula space. Before leaving, Xiao Ze glanced at the nebula barrier still absorbing stellar energy. Perhaps tens of thousands of years later, another Heart of the Stars might be nurtured within this nebula barrier. But that would be irrelevant to Xiao Ze. Where he would be in tens of thousands of years, even Xiao Ze himself could not predict. But he was certain that at that time, he would not be moved by another Heart of the Stars.
Then, using the Primordial Emperor Flame, Xiao Ze melted the fragments of stellar power around him and filled the hole. Although he couldn't restore the original strength of the stellar barrier, with the continuous replenishment of stellar power over time, it would gradually strengthen.
Seeing that he had successfully repaired the stellar barrier, Xiao Ze also breathed a sigh of relief. The stellar barrier was where the nebula barrier drew stellar power, and it was best to completely repair it to avoid affecting the subsequent nurturing of the Heart of the Stars.
As for the outer regions, Xiao Ze did not need to worry, as the vast stellar forces would gradually fill it in.
Leaving the stellar vortex was much easier than entering because the difficulty of entering gradually increased. However, the pressure to withstand during departure gradually decreased, so much so that Xiao Ze's speed increased towards the end.
Boom!
A small splash erupted in the massive stellar vortex, and then a figure broke through the void, successfully escaping from the stellar vortex.
"I didn't expect it to take so long this time, it truly feels like another lifetime. Thankfully, I have the Origin Tree to keep in touch with Xun Er and the others."
However, they did not chat all the time. Xiao Ze had to monitor the situation with the Heart of the Stars, and they were each cultivating on their own.
At that moment, Xiao Ze's Origin Tree suddenly received a message.
"Xiao Ze, I've finished my seclusion. Can you come to see me?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Ze also revealed a slight smile; Xiao Yi Xian had finally finished her seclusion. Compared to Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian's seclusion wasn't considered long.
After all, Medusa not only had to break through to the Dou Saint realm but also had to evolve her bloodline. In contrast, Xiao Yi Xian was already a Dou Saint, and the function of the Ten Thousand Poison Pool was just to further her progress in the Dou Saint stage.
Moreover, her Calamity Poison body did not need further evolution, so it took less time.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Xiao Ze didn't hesitate and immediately responded through the Origin Tree.
Then, Xiao Ze took out an Origin Tree root, which instantly transformed into a golden tree tens of meters tall. The power of space converged, forming a slowly rotating space channel. Xiao Ze took one last look at the massive stellar vortex and then entered the space channel.
In the Cold Poison Secret Realm. Xiao Yi Xian stood on the waters of the Ten Thousand Poison Pool, the chillingly cold water not causing her any discomfort but instead felt quite pleasant.
The Azure Frost Heavenly Poison Scorpion, subdued by Xiao Ze, guarded the periphery. It dared not enter, even though it had sensed Xiao Yi Xian awakening.
Suddenly, the golden tree Xiao Ze left at Xiao Yi Xian's seclusion spot emitted strong spatial fluctuations.
Soon, a silvery space channel formed, and a figure slowly emerged. Sensing the familiar aura, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, and a joyous smile appeared on her face as she leaped towards Xiao Ze.
"Xiao Ze, I missed you so much!" Simple yet filled with pure emotion, this made Xiao Ze's heart skip a beat before calming down.
He opened his arms to welcome Xiao Yi Xian, feeling her soft body in his arms and a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose. Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Yi Xian's silky hair, unable to resist stroking it.
The smooth, soft strands slid through Xiao Ze's fingers, but he was too preoccupied to enjoy the sensation. He suddenly noticed that Xiao Yi Xian's clothing seemed a bit too thin. Now that Xiao Yi Xian was clinging tightly to him, their bodies pressed together, Xiao Ze could distinctly feel her well defined curves.
Noticing Xiao Ze's stiffening movements, Xiao Yi Xian, who was buried in his chest, let out a muffled sound.
"Xiao Ze, my Calamity Poison body has improved again. I'd like to have a deeper exchange about the Calamity Poison power with you..." Her voice was almost inaudible towards the end, but she persevered through her shyness to finish speaking.
Xiao Ze didn't say anything but simply lifted Xiao Yi Xian's head and, seeing her bashful expression, leaned down and fiercely kissed her pink lips! In the next instant, countless roots from the Origin Tree emerged from the void, anchoring space.
Interwoven and entangled into a massive sphere, they isolated this part of the world as if the space inside the sphere was another world entirely.
Meanwhile, the Azure Frost Heavenly Poison Scorpion outside became restless because it could no longer sense the human powerhouse's presence! If it hadn't just sensed Xiao Ze's aura, it would have immediately charged into the Ten Thousand Poison Pool.
After all, if Xiao Yi Xian disappeared under its watch, Xiao Ze would definitely take it out on the scorpion!
