The great gods are at a trough, looking for opportunities to absorb energy but can't. Thanks to Xiao Mizi's actions, they have such an opportunity.
Only by absorbing energy can they recover and make a comeback.
The great gods know best that pie will never fall in the sky. For their own benefit, they must provide appropriate benefits to Xiao Mizi. At best, this is a win-win situation, at worst, it's nothing more than each getting what he needs.
For them, helping Xiao Mizi grow up means helping themselves grow. Because they were all once martial arts masters with weird magical powers, and because they used these weird magical powers to act recklessly, they were not tolerated by other martial arts masters, and were eventually suppressed in this Langya Sword.
From infinite scenery to infinite frustration, such a huge reversal made them extremely unwilling. For many years, they have been thinking about the opportunity to rise again, and now this opportunity finally came. They thought about it seriously in the ecstasy, and believed that in addition to seizing any possible opportunities as much as possible, they must also work hard to assist Xiao Dizi grows up.
The significance of assisting Xiao Mizi's growth is not only that Xiao Mizi can bring them more opportunities after growing up, but also that Xiao Mizi may be able to give them some protection and even become their substitute.
Hundreds of thousands of years ago, they were suppressed for their wanton behavior. After they come back, they may still be hostile to those people. If Xiao Mizi stands in front of them, then they will not be targeted. If that doesn't work, they can even grant all their skills to Xiao Lizi and let Xiao Lizi avenge them.
In this sense, Xiao Mizi is not only their life-saving straw, but also their entire hope.
In the process of mutual support and mutual benefit, Xiao Mizi is now just an ignorant recipient, not an independent recipient. However, they believe that with the help of Hongrui, a partner in Xiaodizi's body, Xiaodizi will gradually be guided in the direction they need.
Their current situation is different from Hongrui. They are inside the Langya Sword and can grow by absorbing energy from the outside world, but Hong Rui cannot. Hongrui left Langya Sword and became one with Xiaodizi. Only how much energy can Xiaodizi absorb, Hongrui can absorb. As for the energy absorbed by Langya Sword, Hongrui cannot divide it.
Different situations lead to different ideas. They hope to absorb as much energy as possible through the Langya Sword, while Hong Rui hopes that Xiao Dizi will absorb more energy, grow up as soon as possible, and help her recover and grow, and eventually break away from Xiao Dizi's mortal body.
Because of this, when they were absorbing energy through the Langya sword that was traveling through the haze, Hong Rui was signaling Xiao Mizi to absorb the energy here by adjusting her breathing.
"Boy, since you are here, don't do nothing. You should absorb as much energy from the outside world as possible." Hong Rui said.
"The energy from the outside world?" Xiao Dizi was confused when he heard this. "Master, what I see is that there is haze here, which makes it difficult to breathe. Where is the energy? If you let me open up and absorb this haze, , then I still have to hold it in until I die?"
Hong Rui said: "Boy, you don't understand this! These hazes are not ordinary hazes, but hazes containing abundant energy, which contain some special laws of heaven and earth. Otherwise, how can that big demon do it?" Use it to set up chain chains? If you absorb these special laws, you can refine your body and soul to a new level. Not only will you not be suffocated to death, but you will also achieve sublimation in your realm."
She was eager to absorb the energy from the outside world through Xiao Dizi's body, but she had to be patient and reason with Xiao Dizi. Xiao Lizi is ignorant of everything, so she must follow the guidance.
"But, great master," Xiao Dizi still hesitated, "the haze has a smoky smell, I don't know how to absorb it!"
"Follow the method I teach you, and you will be able to absorb it smoothly. You may feel it a bit smoky at first, but you won't feel it after that."
Next, Hong Rui taught Xiao Dizi the breathing and Qi movement methods to absorb external energy. After Xiao Mizi tried it, he adjusted his breathing and began to absorb the energy from the outside world.
If, as Hong Rui said, absorbing this energy could strengthen his body and soul, of course he would be happy to absorb it. However, it was his first time to do such a thing, and he was not sure whether what Hongrui said was true or false, so he could only give it a try first.
His plan was to stop immediately if he felt suffocated.
Unexpectedly, after adjusting his breathing method, not only did he not feel suffocated, but he no longer felt the smog. On the contrary, he felt that it had a slightly sweet taste.
Although he had no relevant experience, he was not stupid and decided that this should be a component of those special laws. There is no pain and it feels as sweet as eating candy, which is great. If he had known this, he wouldn't have hesitated.
While absorbing the energy from the outside world, and using the methods taught by Hong Rui to guide this energy to where it should go, he was very busy for a while.
What he didn't know was that most of the energy he absorbed became the nutrition of Hongrui, and only a small part of it nourished his body and soul.
Even though Hong Rui is conjoined with him, they are essentially two relatively independent individuals. If not, Hong Rui would not be willing to lose her attachment to his body, and would not be able to leave his body in the future.
After absorbing energy from the outside world for the first time after the disaster, Hong Rui was extremely happy. She carefully felt the situation after the energy was added to her body, and found that her originally very weak soul gradually gained some color.
She knew very well that the souls of all the great gods in trouble, including her, had been in distress for too long and were almost completely shriveled up. If they were to regain their vitality, they needed a lot of nutrients. The energy in this Yin Mountain seems to be very abundant, but it is not enough for them to fill their teeth. Even if they absorb it all, it is not enough to fill their blood vessels.
However, for them, this is already an extremely rare opportunity.
Without Xiao Mizi, they might have been exhausted until their souls starved to death. And without Yinshan's energy replenishment, they would continue to be in a state of fatigue.
Taking advantage of every opportunity to accumulate mosquito meat and make a feast is their last resort.
She is also gratified that after Xiao Mizi absorbs the energy here, his physical condition will definitely improve greatly, and he may be able to go from an ordinary body to the lowest realm of martial arts, the earth and stone realm. At that time, she can teach Xiao Mizi some basic skills.
According to her detection, the big demon deep in the Yin Mountain was in a state of half-dream and half-awake. Even if she detected someone frantically absorbing energy here, he was unable to intervene. Therefore, it is the most appropriate choice to seize the time, absorb energy non-stop, and absorb all the energy here before the big demon wakes up completely.
Therefore, she could not let Xiao Lizi rest during this period. If Xiao Lizi could not support it, she would forcefully input her own energy into Xiao Lizi so that Xiao Lizi would always have enough energy.
She absorbed so much energy and fed back some to Xiao Mizi, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
Three hours later, the Langya sword that had been traveling through the haze came back.
Xiao Dizi took back the Langya Sword and looked at it in confusion, not knowing what to do next.
Seeing this, Hongrui said, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Use your flower-piercing butterfly hand again and throw it out!"
