The green lotus was absorbing Ethan's energy as if there were no end to it.
Ethan remained patient. He covered both himself and Alex within his Chaos Domain, separating them from this dimension so that nothing could disturb them.
Ten minutes later, the first petal bloomed. Another ten minutes passed, and the second petal followed.
Soon, two hours went by, and twelve petals had bloomed on the green lotus. Ethan could tell that it had now reached a saturated state. He would probably need to reach the Mahayana or even the Profound Immortal Realm to bloom the next group of petals.
Alex slowly opened his eyes as Ethan removed the domain.
Then he stood up in front of Alex. The amount of energy this little guy—or rather, his spirit soul—had absorbed was enormous. Alex would have needed years to bloom these twelve petals on his own, or perhaps some special encounters.
The moment Alex opened his eyes and saw Ethan's handsome face, his own eyes instantly lit up like stars.
