"What's going on?" Ethan's eyes widened, shock briefly clouding his mind.
Yet his body felt no harm. The sea of blood within his dantian began to transform under the nurturing influence of a powerful, mysterious energy.
Golden light emerged weakly at first, then intensified steadily, spilling forth like molten gold.
Ethan could sense the origin—it shared the same root as essence and blood but was far purer, immeasurably more potent.
"Is this the Original Power formed after the transformation of essence and blood?" he wondered, awe threading his thoughts.
Deep within, Onyx Orchid stirred from his slumber, eyes flickering open as he gazed upon Ethan's transforming body.
"What has transpired in this boy's body?" Onyx pondered.
"This Celestial Jade Physique Scripture is no ordinary method. The mysterious power he wields carries the aura of the Great Dao itself. His body refining technique is extraordinary—perhaps even the inheritance of the legendary Divine Statue Emperor."
