"You absorbed all the remaining Blood Crystals; does that count?" Boss Mo woke up, forgetting his promise to himself. Xiao Hei lay listlessly on the table, and upon hearing Xiao Hei's words, Mo Wen quickly rummaged through the remaining Blood Crystal. "No need to look for it; I took it out for you to absorb."
"What exactly happened?" Mo Wen's brow furrowed even tighter. He had already reached perfection in his cultivation and shouldn't be absorbing anything further.
"After two big meals, this Divine Beast will tell you," Xiao Hei said, drooping his head.
"Alright! Go ahead," Mo Wen replied, frowning. He just wanted to know what had happened; as for Xiao Hei's big meals, he wouldn't have anywhere to eat them if he didn't prepare them himself.
"You didn't wake up for a long time, and you were mumbling something. This Divine Beast was worried and wanted to check on you, but almost got your divine essence sucked away instead. So I took out that treasure of yours, and then you finished absorbing it." Although it was a simple statement, it had caused him quite a bit of trouble back then, nearly costing him his life.
"If you don't believe me, check for yourself. As the boss, you owe me a favor." Seeing Mo Wen still frowning, Xiao Hei added.
Upon hearing Xiao Hei's reminder, Mo Wen immediately focused his energy to inspect his Divine Sea. After a while, the tightness in his brow finally relaxed. "So that's how it is!" In his Divine Sea, there was a white sandy beach and red seawater. The towering red tree he had seen in his dreams was actually part of his Divine Sea. The only thing missing was the sight of the Sun and Moon in the Same Sky. At this moment, his Divine Sea had expanded by about fifty percent; the red Divine Liquid not only hadn't decreased but had actually increased. The divine tree gifted by the Old Qilin on the island now had nine leaves and was nurturing a new bud at its base.
"Something still feels off!" He knew exactly how much Blood Crystal was left; it shouldn't have caused such changes in his Divine Sea. Could it be because he had regained some memories? Aside from that, there seemed to be no better explanation.
"Boss, stop being paranoid. You’re fine now; if you keep worrying, you'll just create new mental knots." Seeing Boss Mo's brow furrow again after having just relaxed it made Xiao Hei anxious for him. Why did he end up with such a boss who loved to overthink? Shouldn't they be celebrating with a feast right now?
"You’re right!" Xiao Hei's words snapped him back to reality. What was there to be concerned about? Now that he had perfected the Ning Shen Realm, all that remained was to see if he could sense the aura of Heavenly Tribulation. If he could, that would prove everything was fine; even if there were issues, worrying about them now would be pointless.
"Try concentrating your divine energy into your eyes," Xiao Hei suggested while watching Mo Wen practice diligently. Under the guidance of this Doghead Strategist, Mo Wen attempted to focus his divine power into his eyes. So far, he had tried many times but failed each time. Seeing Mo Wen's bloodshot eyes made Xiao Hei feel a bit sorry for him; however, this was what Boss Mo wanted—he understood his character well enough that he wouldn’t give up until he exhausted himself. All he could do now was share his experience with him as best as he could.
"Could it be that my body structure is different, which is why I can't succeed?" Mo Wen closed his eyes; they were too swollen from excessive blood congestion to open. Now that he had reached perfection in his cultivation, he could consider practicing a divine skill. Although the Locking God Technique gifted by the Old Qilin was powerful, it was a passive skill.
