As time passed, Zhang Kanwen and the golden light didn't appear. However, my Heavenly Master Seal suddenly made a cracking sound.
Could it be that the seal couldn't take it anymore?
I was shocked. I lifted my head and saw that there were many cracks on the outer shell of the Heavenly Master Seal!
Before I could react, the cracks spread further. In the end, the outer layer of the seal completely shattered.
However, the strange thing was that the shattered particles didn't scatter. They still wrapped around the seal. Moreover, the golden light that the seal absorbed from the light became even more dazzling.
Finally, under the effect of the golden light, the shattered particles gathered on the seal. Then, the seal started to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From the initial size of four feet and five inches, it grew to four feet and six inches, seven inches, eight inches … Only when it reached five feet and three inches did the change in the seal start to slow down.
The increase in the size of the seal was a sign that the Heavenly Master Seal had become stronger.
As the size of the seal stabilized at five feet and five inches, I felt a surge of power coming from the seal, which instantly reduced the pressure on me.
The golden light of the Heavenly Master Seal had been struggling to hold on. As time passed, the situation became clearer. I didn't even need to do anything. I just needed the seal's power to absorb the golden light of the Heavenly Master Seal.
However, I couldn't just sit there and do nothing. Zhang Kanwen was still struggling to hold on. In order to make him suffer less, I didn't have the intention to relax. I continued to urge the seal to absorb the golden light of the Heavenly Master Seal.
As I moved, the flames that had been shooting at me like a pillar started to grow crazily. They almost reached the thickness of an arm as they surged towards me.
In an instant, the pressure around me that had just decreased increased explosively again.
However, this time, no matter how crazy the flames were, they couldn't make me collapse.
The light ball formed by the golden light of the Heavenly Master Seal gradually shrunk and returned to the size of a basketball.
At this moment, the situation had completely turned around.
Zhang Kanwen and I had worked hard to absorb the Heavenly Master Seal that had severely injured the fatty. Not only was I not injured, but my power had also increased by a lot.
I couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in my heart. However, after Zhang Kanwen's miserable shriek, the smile that I had just revealed at the corner of my mouth disappeared.
Although I didn't feel any pressure, Zhang Kanwen's power was much weaker than mine. He was still in danger.
Therefore, it was far from time to celebrate.
Based on my understanding of Zhang Kanwen, if he hadn't suffered unbearable pain, he wouldn't have screamed.
From this, it could be seen that his situation was extremely dangerous.
Not only did he not have a seal, but the Heavenly Master's Power that he was displaying now was all because of the Song of Morality.
There was a time limit to the Song of Morality. Once the time limit was over, Zhang Kanwen's Heavenly Master cultivation would disappear without a trace, and he would return to his Acupoint Sealing cultivation.
In the past, I heard Zhang Kanwen say that the ancient scroll of the Song of Morality could probably allow him to maintain his Heavenly Master cultivation base for close to four hours, but at that time, he already had the cultivation base of Glory of Consciousness.
At this moment, his cultivation was even lower than before, and he still had to withstand the pressure of the golden light of Heaven's Punishment. Judging from the scream, it was very likely that he could no longer maintain his cultivation as a Celestial Master.
Using the power of sealing acupoints to shake the might of the heavens, I don't need to think too much to know what the result will be.
I struggled to turn my head to look. Looking closely, Zhang Kanwen was still barely maintaining his Heavenly Master cultivation base, but his aura was continuously dropping. He was already extremely close to Glory of Consciousness realm.
Because I had actively absorbed it, the pressure of the golden light of Heaven's Punishment was mainly focused on me, but the golden thread that connected Zhang Kanwen's body didn't break.
As long as the golden thread was there, once Zhang Kanwen's strength dropped below Heavenly Master, the power of Heaven's Punishment would instantly turn him into dust!
My internal organs were burning, and I turned my head once more. I stared at the Fireball of Heaven's Punishment and let out a hysterical shout. Then, I walked forward and directly towards the Fireball of Heaven's Punishment!
As I walked forward, the golden thread that connected me to the fireball became thicker. When I reached the front of the fireball, the golden thread was already as thick as a person, and it covered my entire body!
Instantly, the pressure around me increased, but at the same time, there was a crisp crack. My Heavenly Master Seal changed again, growing from five feet and five inches to one inch.
The enlargement of the seal was the last straw that broke the camel's back. As I activated it, the four ancient words' Natural Saint 'shone brightly once more, and swallowed the remaining golden light of Heaven's Punishment.
In an instant, the power of Heaven's Punishment disappeared, and my Heavenly Master Seal was dyed in a layer of gold.
At the same time, an abundant power was born from my body, sweeping away all the pressure in my surroundings.
Heaven's Punishment was finally swallowed!
I was worried about Zhang Kanwen's situation, so I didn't have time to be happy. I quickly turned around and looked at Zhang Kanwen.
The disappearance of Heaven's Punishment allowed me to regain my freedom. As for Zhang Kanwen, his body fell softly the moment the Heaven's Punishment disappeared.
Seeing this, I quickly lifted my feet to walk towards him. But before I could reach him, Zhang Kanwen moved on his own.
He twisted his body and used his hands to support himself on the ground. Eventually, he straightened his body, bent his legs, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
I was bewildered at first, then frowned and looked carefully. I found that his body had a fine flow of Dao energy, which was circulating in his body.
Instantly, I understood. He wanted to refine the Heaven's Punishment!
Just now, I had used the seal's swallowing power to resist the Heaven's Punishment. When the Heaven's Punishment disappeared, all of its power was swallowed by the seal.
But Zhang Kanwen was different. He had used his body to resist the Heaven's Punishment. Although the Heaven's Punishment fireball had disappeared, the golden thread had completely entered Zhang Kanwen's body.
After the fireball disappeared, the golden thread became like a rootless duckweed that couldn't cause any damage. I didn't even need to care about it. After a while, it would automatically disappear.
However, Zhang Kanwen didn't think so. He wanted to swallow it and refine it!
He was different from me. I had the Heavenly Master Seal, so I had the ability to swallow and refine things. But he was relying on himself to refine the Heaven's Punishment.
I didn't try to refine the Heaven's Punishment myself, but I could imagine how difficult it would be. So, I stood still and didn't dare to move forward. I was afraid that I would disturb him.
As for Zhang Kanwen, after completing those movements, he also calmed down. He placed his hands on his knees and closed his eyes. There was not the slightest expression on his face. He was like an old monk sitting in meditation. His bloodstained face showed neither joy nor sorrow.
At first, I was a little worried. I thought that Zhang Kanwen's actions were too daring and risky.
But gradually, I felt a surge of joy in my heart.
Zhang Kanwen was a dragon among men. Whether it was his talent or his temperament, he was the best of the best.
Although the Heaven's Punishment's power was terrifying, the golden light in his body was just the remnant of the Heaven's Punishment. Moreover, it was the remnant of the Heaven's Punishment that had been defeated by him and me.
So, I had faith in him. I believed that he could refine the Heaven's Punishment!
Ever since the Dao Energy Source Stone in his body had shattered and his strength had fallen to the Acupuncture Point Realm, although he said that it didn't matter, I could feel the disappointment in his heart. I had been thinking of a way to help him recover his cultivation, but I didn't expect that he would find an opportunity himself before I could find a way.
From his current situation, the process of swallowing and refining couldn't be completed in a short period of time. I couldn't help much, so I turned my gaze to the fat man on the bed.
Although the battle just now was extremely dangerous, under my intentional control, the area affected was extremely small. The fat man lying on the bed was still breathing evenly and sleeping soundly. He wasn't injured at all.
Just as I heaved a sigh of relief, there was movement at the door. Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande appeared outside the door. Then, even Wang Kun came over with little Wang Li. They stood outside the door and looked at the messy room and the burnt things in the room. They were about to step in, but I stopped them.
From the current situation, both Zhang Kanwen and the fat man needed a good rest.
After stopping them, I carefully walked out and told them that there was nothing wrong here, so they didn't need to worry.
After they left, I returned to the room. On one hand, I took care of the fat man, and on the other hand, I protected Zhang Kanwen and paid attention to his situation.
I first went to check on the fat man. After confirming that he wasn't affected, I was completely relieved.
Next, I carefully walked to Zhang Kanwen's side. Although I couldn't help him refine the Heaven's Punishment, I could check on his current physical condition.
Thus, I used my Insight power and looked at Zhang Kanwen.
