At the Forbidden Seed location.
With the Five Metals Qi of the Jade Cutting Steel entering his body, under An Jing's will, the Forbidden Seed began to extend and operate.
It continuously absorbed this external Gold Fiend, integrating it as part of itself, and then separated out numerous tiny parts that spread and condensed.
Then, it began to split, one into two, two into four... just like a seed germinating, absorbing external nutrients to grow stronger.
Seconds and minutes passed...
An Jing's body was undergoing constant changes. Skin, flesh and blood, organs, bones, and even the every minute part of his deep blood vessels were changing, which was an optimization created by the refinement of Spirit Qi.
Since birth, a human body is nurtured by Spirit Qi, but if one does not undergo Spirit Awakening, they cannot actively absorb Spirit Qi and, naturally, will not be harmed by it.
