As she cried, Xiao Qi's body suddenly began to sway uncontrollably, like a flower swaying in the wind, about to fall.
After swaying for only a couple of moments, it couldn't hold on any longer, collapsed to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhexian dared not delay for a moment. He rushed forward and gently embraced Xiao Qi with lightning speed.
Then, he carefully examined Xiao Qi's condition.
After a moment, Yuan Zhexian frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "It seems that Xiao Qilin must have eaten the fragments of that Heaven-Mending Stone, causing it to fall into a deep sleep so that it can better absorb the powerful energy contained in the Heaven-Mending Stone."
After saying this, Yuan Zhexian sighed softly.
After dealing with Xiao Qi's situation, Yuan Zhexian flashed away and left the world inside the Chaos Bell, returning to reality.
However, at this moment, Yuan Zhexian looked as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
Not only that, he also appeared extremely weak, as if all his strength had been drained away.
In this fusion with the Heaven-Mending Stone, Yuan Zhexian not only exhausted all of his saintly power, but also overdrawn it beyond his limits.
At this moment, not a trace of saintly power remained in his body, and he had completely become an ordinary person with only physical strength.
At that very moment, within that palm-sized area of chaos, dazzling and colorful light began to continuously emanate, as if a mysterious kaleidoscope was unfolding wondrous scenes within it.
At the same time, the imperial might emanating from the Chaos Bell itself became increasingly intense, like a volcano about to erupt, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.
As the last golden light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, the Chaos Bell, which was originally the size of a palm, suddenly shone with a dazzling golden light, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
In an instant, an extremely terrifying energy, like a surging giant wave, crashed violently against the two layers of energy barriers set up by Yuan Zhexian.
There was a crisp "snap" sound.
The seemingly indestructible energy barrier was easily torn apart like a fragile piece of paper.
Immediately afterwards, the Chaos Bell shot out a dazzling golden beam of light, which shot straight into the endless sky, as if it wanted to pierce through this world.
That terrifying aura, so powerful it was suffocating, spread like a plague throughout the entire Yuan Clan territory in an instant.
The Chaos Bell's powerful and terrifying aura naturally awakened the powerful and unfathomable figures within the Yuan Clan.
At this moment, both the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors felt the terrifying pressure from the Chaos Bell and the dazzling golden light that pierced the sky.
"What...what's going on? Why is that noise coming from the Goddess's Palace again! What on earth is that Immortal up to now?!"
The Eighth Patriarch stared in astonishment at the direction of the Goddess's Palace in the distance, his brows furrowed and his heart filled with doubt.
"Ugh! This is such a headache! Let's go and see what kind of trouble this divine child is up to."
As Jiuzu sighed and shook his head, he quickly teleported towards the Divine Palace.
Seeing this, the Eighth Patriarch rubbed his temples and then disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, sunlight streamed into the courtyard, where the siblings Yuan Honglian and Yuan Cangsheng sat leisurely, savoring fragrant tea and chatting happily.
They looked relaxed, as if the whole world had nothing to do with them.
However, at that moment, without any warning, a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble suddenly erupted from within the Goddess's Palace.
Yuan Honglian and Yuan Cangsheng instantly felt the powerful pressure. Their expressions changed drastically. After exchanging a glance, they both vanished from their spots like ghosts.
The next moment, they appeared above the Goddess's Palace, their eyes fixed on the mysterious palace below.
Suddenly, a crisp system notification sounded in Yuan Zhexian's ears while he was in the secret room.
There was a "ding" sound.
The system's voice slowly announced: "Congratulations, host, on successfully fusing the Chaos Bell and the Heaven-Mending Stone."
"As a reward, the Chaos Bell will be upgraded to a supreme divine weapon, and the host's eternal body will also be enhanced, reaching 60% of the eternal body level."
Upon hearing this news, Yuan Zhexian was initially delighted, but the system's words immediately made his mood somewhat heavy.
The system continued, "However, since the host has already exhausted the power of a sage, in order to raise the Eternal Body to the 60% level, it is necessary to use the power of a sage to harmonize it."
"Therefore, in the short term, it will be difficult for the host to regain the power of a saint. Only after fully integrating 60% of the Eternal Body can the power of a saint be fully restored."
After hearing the system's words, Yuan Zhexian couldn't help but reveal a helpless, bitter smile.
Although losing the power of a saint would bring him many inconveniences, compared with being able to upgrade to 60% of the Eternal Body, the latter is obviously more important.
After all, the enhancement of the Eternal Body is of great significance to his future cultivation path. As long as he can successfully integrate this 60% of the Eternal Body, then the price he paid for temporarily losing the power of a saint will be worthwhile.
Immediately afterwards, the system spoke again: "Alright, host, your mission has been successfully completed."
"As for the next mission, please look forward to it."
As those words fell, the system's voice receded like a receding tide until it completely disappeared...
Just then, when Yuan Honglian and Yuan Cangsheng arrived above the Divine Palace, they discovered that the Eighth Ancestor and the Ninth Ancestor were already above the Divine Palace.
They dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately bowed respectfully to the two seniors.
After all the formalities were completed, Yuan Honglian spoke first, asking, "Eighth Ancestor, Ninth Ancestor, what exactly is our Divine Child brother up to this time?"
However, when faced with her question, the Eighth and Ninth Ancestors simply replied, "We don't know!"
After saying that, the two shrugged in unison, indicating that they knew nothing about the matter either.
Just as everyone was wondering, a strange sight suddenly caught everyone's attention.
A Chaos Bell, no bigger than the palm of a hand, like a dazzling pearl, slowly emerged from the main hall of the Goddess's Palace.
It paused briefly in the air, as if gathering its strength, before slowly rising. Though the speed was slow, it gave people a sense of composure and unstoppable momentum.
As the Chaos Bell rises higher, its volume gradually increases.
In the blink of an eye, the originally small and exquisite Chaos Bell had become enormous, resembling a towering mountain.
At this moment, the Chaos Bell emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire sky with a magnificent golden glow.
