“Ding!”
“The Tree Spirit is startled, rit points iooo, enlightennt 1.”
In Xu Yang’s mind, the system prompt ca again, he couldn’t help but think: “It looks like this Tree Spirit hasn’t died completely, its spirit has started to recover…”
“Perhaps it was startled because I Awakened too quickly?”
Awakening is a wonderful state.
With a shift in his thoughts, Xu Yang once again woke up from his state of Awakening.
Seeing that Grandmaster Chengming and Supre Sage Shancun were still looking at him, his face turned red with embarrassnt. “Both seniors are still here? Sorry, sorry, I accidentally woke up from my Awakening state… I will really try to Awaken this ti.”
He said it, and then ntally promoted the “Fire Manipulation Skill” once again.
His understanding and cultivation of the “Fire Manipulation Skill” had reached its limit; this ti, after just once more upgrade, he entered into his Awakening state.
Supre Sage Shancun and Grandmaster Chengming were completely numb.
Both of them stared at Xu Yang, who had entered into his Awakening state, for a long ti before they let out a long sigh and couldn’t help but say: “What a monster!”
Grandmaster Chengming, stroking his beard, said, “Throughout history, I’ve seen many geniuses, like Xu Zhiyuan, the past sect leader of the Jingming Sect, who is one of them. He started practicing Daoism in his middle ages and was able to reach the Divine Transcendence Realm in less than 20 years. That talent is already dramatic enough… but compared to this kid, it’s nothing.”
Supre Sage Shancun asked doubtfully, “Ancestral Master, Xu Yang is around 20 years old now, right? If he really has this talent to Awaken anyti, let alone with the guidance of Supre Sage Qingxu, his achievents should be more than this, right?”
What does it an to be able to Awaken at any ti?
A lot of people seek an Awakening in their lifeti but fail to achieve it.
A lot of people are stuck at a certain bottleneck for several years, or even decades, unable to break through — yet they might make a rapid breakthrough with a sudden Awakening!
Supre Sage Shancun found it hard to imagine.
If soone can Awaken at will anyti and anywhere, how terrifying would that be?
While the two were talking, Xu Yang’s aura gradually rose, becoming stronger and stronger. His body was surrounded by a bright red glow, and a heatwave swept in all directions!
The ginkgo tree suddenly trembled.
“Hmm?”
The expression of the old man in the purple robe changed slightly. He carefully sensed it and a hint of joy flashed across his face. “The Tree Spirit is recovering…”
Then, Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes.
His Dao aura subsided, the red light disappeared, and there was a touch of disappointnt in his eyes.
Supre Sage Shancun caught this scene and hurriedly asked, “Xu Yang, did you fail to reach the realm of Dao with your fire thod?”
“No, I did.”
“If you have already entered the Dao, why are you looking so down?”
“Alt!”
Xu Yang sighed and said, “The last ti I reached the Dao with the rules of Thunder, it caused a celestial event. The spiritual aura within a ten-mile radius crazily surged towards , and my cultivation level rose from the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm within a few minutes and reached the Entering Dao Realm…”
“I thought this ti, reaching the Dao would allow to advance from the middle stage of the Entering Dao Realm to the later stage… Even if not, there should be significant progress. Who would have thought that it would be just a simple entry of the fire thod into the Dao!”
Of course.
There were gains too.
The mont Xu Yang “entered the Dao of fire,” he clearly sensed the “fear emotion” transmitted by the ginkgo tree spirit. It was probably scared that he would lose control and ignite the heavenly fire to burn it…
So, in that instant, the ginkgo tree provided him with five tis “rit points iooo” and “enlightennt 1”.
With the previous four tis, Xu Yang gained another 9000 rit points in this brief mont.
And the costs of the several “Awakenings” totaled less than 6000 points… The data behind the “rit points” column on the system attribute panel increased by nearly 3000, not decreasing.
Hearing Xux Yang’s complaint, Supre Sage Shacun fell into silence.
The old man in a purple robe finally said, “Xu Yang, did you sense sothing when you Awakened just now?”
“Hmm.”
Xu Yang nodded and said, “The spirit of the ginkgo tree is likely to have revived.”
“If that’s the case…”
After considering for a few seconds, the old man in a purple robe added, “Can our friend Xu Yang postpone his cultivation under the ginkgo tree… I’d like to try to communicate with the Tree Spirit and see if I can interact with it.” Postpone?
Postpone my ass, such a good opportunity to score rit points, how could I waste it?
That’s 1000 points each ti… And it even improves enlightennt!
Xu Yang imdiately said, “Senior, don’t worry. When I Awakened just now, I sensed the spirit of the ginkgo tree. It just woke up and is still very weak… If I can Awaken again under the tree, the aura of the Dao will disperse, which should be a good thing for its recovery.”
“You just entered Dao with fire thod, could you Awaken again?”
The old man in the purple robe knew naturally that Awakening under the tree could be beneficial to the “Tree Spirit”.
After all, the birth of the Tree Spirit is due to the cultivation and comprehension of the predecessors of the Daoist sect under the tree. It absorbed the aura of the Dao, slowly triggering its intelligence.
But Xu Yang…
This is nonsense!
You entered Dao with thunder thod the day before yesterday, and today you entered Dao with fire thod, could you Awaken again?
Xu Yang smiled and said, “Although it’s difficult to Awaken, still, if I Awaken a few more tis, I will eventually succeed… Well, senior, next, I want to comprehend the law of water under the tree…”
“The law of water inherently has the effect of nourishing all things. If I can Enter Dao with the rule of the water elent under the ginkgo tree, it will be greatly beneficial to the Tree Spirit!”
As he said it, he closed his eyes again.
His mind lingers on the small “ ” behind the “Water Manipulation Skill”.
“Ding!”
“rit points-50, Water Manipulation Skill 1.”
“Ding…”
A series of system prompt tones kept ringing. In just a mont, he had spent 4000 rit points, then his translucent “Dao aura” rose again.
A faint blue light appeared around him.
The old man in the purple robe and Supre Sage Shancun were both dumbfounded!
Dammit…
Is this even a human?
Even the ginkgo tree trembled.
“Ding!”
“The Tree Spirit is startled, rit points iooo, enlightennt 1.”
Xu Yang kept his eyes closed, a smile curling up from the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t help but comnt, “I just perfected my water thod and the aura of the Dao erged, I haven’t even Awakened yet, and the Tree Spirit has already started providing rit points?”
Really cool!
He spent another 500 points of rit to upgrade Water Manipulation Skill 10 tis.
In the next mont, his body trembled, the Dao rhy around him surged, an aura full of profound mysteries rose from his body, and he entered the state of enlightennt once more.
However, this ti, the Tree Spirit was not startled at all.
On the contrary…
In the dark, Xu Yang felt a tidal wave of joy infiltrating his heart. Though his eyes remained closed, he could clearly perceive the trembling of the Ginkgo tree’s branches…
The Ginkgo tree was exulting joyously.
“Looks like reaching the Dao Realm with the power of water elent has indeed significantly nourished the Tree Spirit…”
Xu Yang’s thoughts shifted, and he stepped out of the state of enlightennt.
“Ding!”
“The Tree Spirit was shocked, rit value 1000, Enlightennt 1.”
It wasn’t until this mont, the Tree Spirit provided an abundance of rit again. Xu Yang could even sense a glimr of sadness that the spirit was projecting.
Its deanor now reminded him of an innocent little girl.
Xu Yang couldn’t help but reach out to gently touch the rough bark of the Ginkgo tree, and chuckled: “Relax, for , enlightennt is as easy as eating or drinking…”
Witnessing this, the purple-robed old man suddenly blessed out and glared angrily, exclaiming, “Xu Yang, what are you doing? If you want to cultivate, just cultivate. What are you touching my Ginkgo tree for?”
Xu Yang: “…”
He looked surprised.
Is exchanging so pleasantries with a Tree Spirit warrant such an intensity?
Yet this old Daoist is referred to as the “Divine Master”…but he can’t even maintain a tranquil state of Dao?
Not to ntion, calling it “my ginkgo tree,” it was clearly planted by Laozi…
Grumbling inwardly, Xu Yang contemplated further, and once again upgraded his “Water Manipulation Skill,” and in the next mont, the Dao rhy resonated from his body again.
Swoosh..
At this mont, the value of the Ginkgo tree began to quiver as well.
A sense of elation was transmitted once again.
Hum!
The void trembled.
Under the Ginkgo tree, the sun’s rays refracted and unbelievably cast rainbow-like glimrs in the clear sunny sky.
The state Xu Yang was in at this mont was extrely peculiar. It seed like he was cultivating, but his eyes were wide open… Yet, the world in front of him was not the real world, but a blaze of rainbow colors.
Within the vibrant colors, a figure erged abruptly.
This figure held a scripture and sat under a tiny Ginkgo tree, surrounded by many Daoists who sat on the ground, quietly listening to his teachings.
“Laozi teaching Dao Te Jing?”
A thought flickered across Xu Yang’s mind, leaving him stunned. He wasn’t sure why this scene, lost in the river of history, reappeared. Was it the residual Dao rhy triggered by his own process of ‘cultivation,’ or…
Was it played out by the Ginkgo tree as a remnant of those olden days?
He stared intently at the figure beneath the Ginkgo tree.
Back in the day, the Ginkgo tree was very small, its branches hardly the thickness of an arm, it should have been the autumn weather, the ginkgo leaves had turned golden.
The older Daoist beneath the tree held scriptures; he was clearly visible, yet Xu Yang couldn’t make out his face, or rather… as soon as he saw his face, he forgot it in the next instant.
In the next mont.
The old Daoist suddenly looked up.
His eyes seed to pierce through eons, t Xu Yang’s gaze for a mont. A faint smile hung on his lips as the hand holding the bamboo slips gestured a wave towards Xu Yang.
Next, the image of the old Daoist “preaching beneath the tree” gradually blurred.
anwhile, Xu Yang…
A violent shock rocked his heart!
He abruptly stood up, his face showing a look of astonishnt… Was it his imagination?
If the ‘image’ he just witnessed was indeed the scene from the past when Master Laozi was teaching the Dao Te Jing, enacted by the Tree Spirit of the Ginkgo tree… why could he… see ?
After more than two thousand years… he could see ?
“Xu Yang, what’s wrong with you?”
The purple-robed old Daoist and Supre Sage Shancun asked simultaneously.
It seed that they couldn’t see what Xu Yang was seeing.
In the vibrant scenery of his vision, another image started to flicker. This ti, it was a man dressed in silver armor, and the Ginkgo tree in the picture had grown much larger.
The man was sitting cross-legged under the tree, a long spear placed beside him.
He radiated a domineering aura of formidable vitality and true essence of martial art, but… the figured that ‘saw’ its onlooker from before did not appear again.
Images kept flickering.
Those were the residues left by the masters who once cultivated under the Ginkgo tree.
Xu Yang saw a Daoist who had a sword on his back and a Dharma seal around his waist, resembling the spitting image of the Ancestral Master of the Jingming Sect, Celestial Master Xu Xun.
Until the end…
The images ca to a halt.
Among them was a middle-aged Daoist.
This Daoist looked around 40 years old; he exuded an indescribable sharpness and arrogance. He stood under the tree, his body filled with Dao rhy. His familiar face invoked tears from Xu Yang.
“Grandpa….”
Xu Yang’s heart cried out.
He recalled what the purple-robed old Daoist had once said, that his grandfather had once visited Zongsheng Palace to discuss Daoism and lingered under the Ginkgo tree…
Finally.
The images dispersed.
Xu Yang stood under the Ginkgo tree, slowly closing his eyes.
On his body, the blue glow was becoming stronger!
Swoosh…
From the void, it was as if the sound of flowing water seeped through, as if a large river was brimming in the sky.
At this mont, inside Zongsheng Palace, even the entire Louguan Temple scenic spot, everyone involuntarily looked up, and vaguely, it seed as if there was a long river surging in the sky!
P.S: The second update is here, the third might be a little late, probably after midnight. Please check it tomorrow!
