Chapter 2065
The small tower trembled slightly as it caught the jade bottle, its tone full of pride: "Two bottles are enough! In the past, I only had one section of the tower left, and I could only use a smattering of the Dao of Eternal Time. Now that I have merged with the base, I can open the flow of time eighteen times faster without any consumption."
A gleam of joy flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes—an eighteen-fold acceleration of cultivation without any cost was like a godsend for him, especially since he was currently at a bottleneck. Before he could think further, the little tower's voice deepened again:
"If we use these two bottles of spiritual liquid as catalysts, we can increase the flow rate by two hundred times and continue for a year. Think carefully, this kind of consumption is irreversible."
"Two hundred times... One year outside is two hundred years inside the formation?" Chen Xuan gasped, and immediately with a thought, a tender sprout flew out from his Purple Mansion space. The sprout was no bigger than a fingernail, its tender white roots entwined with wisps of Daoist energy; it was the primordial spirit seedling of the Enlightenment Tree.
"Wow—Master! What is that! Such a strong primordial aura, such ancient Dao charm, I, I want to worship it!" The seedling's intelligence was still like that of a four or five-year-old child. As soon as it left the Purple Mansion, it caught sight of the twin Dao lotus on the cliff. Its branches and leaves trembled with excitement, and its childish thoughts burrowed straight into Chen Xuan's sea of consciousness.
"As expected, even you can sense its extraordinary nature." Chen Xuan's lips curled slightly as he transmitted a message: "Focus on comprehending it, and don't miss this opportunity."
"Yes, Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the seedling suddenly stretched out its branches and leaves, and in just a few breaths it grew to a height of a thousand feet, its branches and leaves as lush as a green umbrella supporting the sky. Countless divine rays containing the true meaning of enlightenment flowed out from between the leaves, weaving into a huge net of light in the void.
However, when those dazzling divine lights fell on the twin lotus blossoms on the distant cliff, they were like fireflies meeting the bright moon, instantly dimming by three points.
“Little fellow, this opportunity is also your good fortune.” The little tower’s voice softened a bit. “If you can comprehend the true meaning of the Primordial Chaos on the foundation of the myriad paths of your true self, you may well be able to take that step in the future.”
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Little Pagoda!" The giant branch of the Enlightenment Tree gently rubbed against the Little Pagoda's body, showing great affection.
With multiple enlightenment treasures in place, Chen Xuan turned his gaze to his wrist—where a small, entirely black snake was coiled, with faint lightning patterns flowing beneath its scales; it was Bai Li. He gently stroked her cool scales with his fingertips: "Bai Li."
"Master." Bai Li's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement. Her snake eyes were fixed on the chaotic halo, clearly sensing the significance of this opportunity.
"Your foundation for transcending tribulation and becoming an immortal rests on this one moment," Chen Xuan said with expectation. "Don't disappoint me."
"Master, rest assured! Bai Li will not fail your trust!" Bai Li wrapped around Chen Xuan's wrist and rubbed against it, then swam to the blue stone beside him, coiling into a mysterious circular array. Its snake eyes slowly closed, clearly calming its mind and preparing to welcome enlightenment.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Xuan felt a pang of regret—Yu'er, Zixian, and Xueqi were not here, otherwise this opportunity would have been enough to raise their Dao foundation to another level.
He took a deep breath, completely clearing his mind of distractions, and his aura gradually became calm and focused.
A few breaths later, when Chen Xuan opened his eyes again, there was no trace of emotion in them, only awe and yearning for the Great Dao.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, his hands forming profound Dao seals, and his eyes slowly closed—the visualization of the primordial spirit is far more effective than direct visual observation in capturing the essence of the Dao, which is the true essence of all cultivators' seclusion for enlightenment.
Outside the formation, time flows by; inside, years fly by.
For the first hundred years, Chen Xuan devoted himself to contemplating the reincarnation of the Dao seeds.
The yin chill of Taiyin and the scorching heat of Taiyang merged in the primordial spirit. The two great paths that used to clash with each other were now intertwined and coexisting like a lotus flower.
The elements of water and fire also shed their killing and violence, transforming into a trace of primordial power from the beginning of chaos.
Those insights that had been stuck at the bottleneck for a century melted away like ice and snow, and the sudden sense of enlightenment made him unconsciously smile.
Fifty years later, Chen Xuan began to integrate his insights into his supernatural powers. He made hand seals with his fingertips, and water and fire lotuses bloomed and withered in the void. At first, they were just single red and blue halos, but as the Primordial Chaos True Meaning was injected, black and white patterns gradually appeared on the edges of the petals. The charm of purifying the world and destroying the world flowed between the petals, and the power increased several times over compared to before.
In his final twenty years, he devoted all his energy to the third sword technique of the ultimate swordsmanship, "Lotus Sword Realm".
This sword strike was originally a defensive divine power created using the Water and Fire Lotus, but now, inspired by the Dao Lotus, it is undergoing a complete transformation.
Chen Xuan's sword fingers flew, and lotus flowers in the void surged like a tide. At first, they were still the familiar water and fire lotus shapes, but when the first black and white twin lotus bloomed in the void, the surrounding space rippled. Between the opening and closing of the lotus petals, clear light and mysterious light intertwined to form a boundary, enveloping the entire formation. This sword strike was already perfected!
