The Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art's energy was extremely fine and intricate, its Stellar Energy much more penetrative than even the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. It could seep into every cell in a person's body, even the complex head and nerves.

No other art could compare.

Moreover, as the Supreme and Infinite Origin Immortal Art seeped into the head, it could strengthen the meridians and blood vessels to avoid doing additional damage to King Song's body.

Buzz!

A vast energy infused with the law of the world surged into King Song's meridians and into his head.

It was only when his energy entered King Song's head that Wang Chong was able to sense how serious King Song's condition was. Within his head, his nerves, meridians, and the cortex of his brain were covered in thick 'ink'.

This domineering poison had already completely infected the exterior and was seeping deeper into his brain. If the poison truly managed to reach into the depths of King Song's brain, then even if Wang Chong used all the abilities available to him, including Blood Reformation, nothing would be able to save King Song.

With no time to think, Wang Chong sent out the Origin Immortal Energy that was brimming with power and vitality to protect King Song. It protected King Song's meridians while absorbing the black poison and extracting it.

Hissss!

As everyone else watched, tendrils of black liquid flowed out of King Song's mouth, nose, and ears, then turned into black mist that evaporated.

”Ah!”

Cries of alarm could be heard as the imperial physicians were struck dumb. Stellar Energy was not omnipotent, or else why would imperial physicians exist? It was very difficult for Stellar Energy to reach the brain, and not even top-class martial artists could accomplish this feat.

The old butler and Zhangchou Jianqiong had already tried before, but both had failed. It wasn't because the area was too complicated, but because it was too important and required very fine control. Neither had been confident, so they did not dare to try.

But Wang Chong had succeeded with a single try in extracting the poison from King Song's head.

”Look at that!”

Amidst the chaos, someone shouted, and everyone immediately turned to King Song, whose complexion and breathing were visibly improving.

Earlier, King Song had been struggling to breathe and seemed like he would stop at any moment, but now, while his breathing still wasn't strong, his breaths were steady and long.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

But Wang Chong had no time for their reactions.

Buzz!

As he was extracting the black poison, Wang Chong opened King Song's mouth and stuffed in a golden pill.

”Bring water!” Wang Chong said without turning his head.

”Ah, right!”

A maid stirred out of her stupor and hastily brought over a cup of water.

Without another word, Wang Chong poured some of the water in King Song's mouth and then helped King Song swallow it down. Only now did he exhale.

”I've done all I can. I'll have to depend on you for the rest.”

Wang Chong wiped the sweat off his forehead as he spoke. His face was slightly pale from all his efforts, as while it had seemed easy, it had required a great deal of attention and care. Wang Chong had needed to ensure that he didn't injure any of King Song's blood vessels, meridians, or nerves as he had been treating him.

This entire process was far more taxing than it looked.

”Go, go, go!”

The imperial physicians in the room awoke from their shock and rushed over.

After taking King Song's pulse, the physicians rejoiced.

”Wonderful! Our medicines can finally work now.”

Although King Song had yet to wake, the condition of his body now compared to a few moments ago was like the difference between day and night. Wang Chong had opened a path for them and had enabled their medicines to work.
