"It has started!"
Ling Xiao felt elated, as he could distinctly sense the True Essence within his Martial Veins continuously rising, like boiling water bubbling and gurgling.
This was clearly a harbinger of advancement.
At the same time, strange changes were also happening within his Mountain and River Martial Soul. Ling Xiao could feel it growing as well.
What had been just an ethereal form quickly solidified into a tangible entity, but astonishingly, it was still in the process of further elevation.
Indeed, that's to be expected from the Poison Dragon King who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Although its strength is nothing to write home about, that's only because it's suppressed by seals within the Moon Blossom Pagoda; it's not due to any lack of capability on its part.
All of its power was bound within the Poison Dragon Pearl, with only a small outlet opened by the seal for its energy to slowly seep through.
