Chapter 682: Mandala

On the Tianluo Continent, in the northern realm of its northern region, Xiao Ze sat in meditation, his expression tense as the energy of the world invaded his body.

He had been expecting this the assimilation of his Dou Qi into the purer spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World. However, the timing could not have been worse.

Moments ago, Xiao Ze had survived a spatial storm of catastrophic proportions, sustaining severe injuries. His body still writhed with rampant spatial energy, and instead of helping, the assimilation process was draining what little strength he had left to suppress his wounds.

As Xiao Ze struggled to decide on his next step, a thought form, carrying an unfamiliar yet understandable intent, reached him.

"This is spiritual energy assimilation a necessary transformation for anyone from a lower plane entering the Great Thousand World. There's no need to worry."

Xiao Ze looked up sharply. Perched on a distant branch, a small girl in a black dress with striking golden eyes was watching him. Despite her innocent appearance, her presence exuded a pressure so intense that Xiao Ze could scarcely breathe.

This was an existence far beyond him in strength.

Struggling to his feet, Xiao Ze didn't immediately recognize her identity. The Great Thousand World was vast beyond imagination, its many continents and countless species numbering in the billions. Even with her distinctive appearance, Xiao Ze could not place her.

Using spiritual intent, Xiao Ze responded cautiously:

"Thank you for your guidance. Though I am aware this process is necessary, I do not know how to navigate it in my current state."

The girl tilted her head, her golden eyes narrowing slightly. She seemed to deliberate for a moment before leaping from her perch. Her form blurred, and she appeared before Xiao Ze in a flash of light.

Reaching into a storage bracelet, she retrieved a jade slip and handed it to him, gesturing for him to use it.

Xiao Ze accepted it, allowing his spiritual energy to seep into the slip. Instantly, a flood of information entered his mind. Within moments, he understood and could now communicate in the common language of the Great Thousand World.

"Thank you," Xiao Ze said, bowing his head respectfully.

The girl looked him over with a discerning gaze.

"Under normal circumstances, assimilation is beneficial. But given your injuries, it's depleting your strength and leaving you unable to suppress the spatial energy inside you."

She paused, then continued, "You have two choices: expel the spatial remnants and heal first, then complete the assimilation or reverse the process."

Xiao Ze nodded, processing her words.

"May I ask for your assistance?"

The girl didn't answer immediately, instead asking, "Which option will you choose?"

"If you are willing to help, I would prefer to heal first."

The girl considered his request, then extended a pale, delicate hand. Spiritual energy pulsed around them, forming a glowing barrier that halted the flow of spiritual energy into Xiao Ze's body.

"I've temporarily halted the assimilation. Use this time wisely."

Relieved, Xiao Ze bowed deeply. "Thank you, senior."

He sat down, focusing on purging the spatial remnants from his body. However, mindful of the stranger's presence, Xiao Ze refrained from sinking into deep meditation.

Time passed. When Xiao Ze finally reopened his eyes, he saw the girl perched on another branch nearby, her golden gaze fixed on him.

"Thank you for your guidance and protection," Xiao Ze said sincerely.

The girl remained expressionless. "I didn't help you without reason."

Xiao Ze straightened, his expression cautious.

"If there is something I can do to repay you, please let me know."

"Your body contains a power I need," she replied, her tone unyielding.

Xiao Ze's expression flickered, but he kept his composure.

"May I ask what you mean by that?"

"Don't misunderstand," the girl said flatly. "I require that power to solve a problem of my own. For now, focus on completing your assimilation."

After a moment's hesitation, Xiao Ze nodded. Though his ability to sense malevolence was diminished in the face of overwhelming power, he detected no hostility from her.

Following her instructions, Xiao Ze resumed the assimilation process, allowing his Dou Qi to transform into spiritual energy.

As he entered a deep meditative state, the girl's golden eyes gleamed with intrigue.

Unlike typical cases of assimilation, Xiao Ze's process was drawing on an extraordinary amount of energy. The spiritual energy in the surrounding mountains surged toward him, forming visible currents.

The girl frowned, then retrieved a jade bottle from her bracelet. Inside, droplets of radiant liquid shimmered the highly coveted Supreme Spiritual Liquid of the Great Thousand World.

Removing the stopper, she released a flowing stream of liquid energy, directing it toward Xiao Ze.

The moment the spiritual liquid entered the field of energy around him, Xiao Ze's assimilation accelerated. His body absorbed the energy like a ravenous beast.

The girl shook her head, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

"I hope this investment isn't a waste," she murmured.

Though unsure if Xiao Ze's power could fully solve her problem, she was confident it could at least alleviate her condition.

Ten days later, Xiao Ze opened his eyes. His body pulsed with immense spiritual energy, as vast and boundless as a river. His Dou Qi had fully converted into the purer, more potent spiritual energy of the Great Thousand World.

Though his inner world his Origin Dimension required more time for complete transformation, Xiao Ze could now wield spiritual energy in battle without fear of disruptions.

Standing, Xiao Ze bowed deeply to the girl.

"Thank you for your help, senior. I am Xiao Ze, from a lower plane known as the Dou Qi Continent."

The girl regarded him with calm, golden eyes. Her lips curved ever so slightly as she introduced herself.

"Mandala."
