Chapter 1336
As Chen Xuan gave the order, Bai Li nodded and flew to a distance, quickly packing up all sorts of cooking utensils. Although these little things weren't worth much spiritual liquid, Bai Li found them extremely useful and didn't want to waste them.
Soon, Bai Li returned, all tidied up. "Master, everything's ready."
Chen Xuan nodded, and before leaving, he also collected a gourd containing several hundred catties of divine and demonic true blood essence from the stream.
"Don't waste your energy. The essence of gods and demons here has no value other than nurturing life," the little tower said with some disinterest.
Chen Xuan didn't care too much about it. After all, he had already heard at least two different legends about the True Blood of the Heavenly Demon. Now that he finally had the chance, how could he go back empty-handed?
After Chen Xuan led Bai Li out of the underground, they saw that the endless lake of filthy blood that had been above the small underground space had been split in two by the power of the Taiyin True Water and Taiyang True Fire that he had drawn in. Below the center was a dark and bottomless abyss.
Chen Xuan took a deep look at the place and felt fortunate. If he hadn't decided to collect these rare treasures for his Daoist partner and friends, it would have taken him some more time to successfully break through to the Divine Demon Body Refinement.
With his breakthrough in the realm of gods and demons, Chen Xuan's blood and qi truly flowed like a mighty river. If someone were to probe him with their divine sense, they could vaguely see the endless blood and qi behind Chen Xuan evolving into a radiant sun, which was extremely terrifying.
Normal cultivators revere those who cultivate the body of gods and demons. The reason why they can crush those of the same realm is mainly due to the terrifying power of the gods and demons and the terrifying regenerative ability of their physical bodies.
Now that Chen Xuan has broken through to the Divine Demon Body Refinement realm, he is confident that if he were to encounter Xuan Yi's clone again, he would not need to frantically fuse the power of the five Daos to fight him to the death as before. He would be able to put up a fight with just his Crimson Bright Divine Body.
The journey of 800,000 li was only half a day's journey for Chen Xuan at his current level. Soon, Chen Xuan saw a hundred enlightenment futons lined up in the distant sky from a great distance.
Compared to before the arrival of the myriad divine rays, when hundreds of thousands of cultivators fought for a single enlightenment futon, there are not many cultivators staying within three thousand miles of the Enlightenment Tree at this moment.
After all, once one begins to comprehend the Dao, those who haven't obtained a meditation cushion within a thousand miles cannot get any closer. Although one can still gain something by meditating in seclusion at a distance, compared to the numerous celestial inheritances, Dao divine weapons, and other opportunities within the secret realm, these are what cultivators from all sides are extremely eager for.
Enlightenment requires a serendipitous opportunity and the gradual accumulation of knowledge; it cannot be achieved by simply guarding the Enlightenment Tree day and night.
On a mountain peak of white bones, more than three thousand miles away from the Enlightenment Tree.
The Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion descended again, and thanks to the great help of the small tower, it was not in a hurry to secretly collect the primordial spirit of the Enlightenment Tree.
"Bai Li, this golden-scaled dragon fish and this True Blood Divine Fruit are yours. Strive to transform into a being capable of cultivating a first-class divine body in one go."
Previously, while Chen Xuan had his second primordial spirit fish, Bai Li had been busy preparing what he needed. Now that he had successfully broken through, it was time to fulfill his promise.
Upon landing, Bai Li transformed into a white-clad fairy with a similar temperament to Lu Xueqi. This girl was usually quite quirky, and she even imitated Lu Xueqi's demeanor, with pearly teeth and red lips, while somewhat reserved and shy, as she accepted the two great treasures handed to her by Chen Xuan.
"Thank you, Master. Such a great favor can only be repaid with my body." Although Bai Li was teasing Lu Xueqi, her eyes were looking at her master with utmost seriousness.
After handing the Golden Scaled Dragon Fish and the True Blood Divine Fruit to Bai Li, Chen Xuan casually tapped her on the head and laughed, "You're so young and you're always thinking nonsense. Since I entered the path of immortality, I have always been threatened by the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations until I became a Celestial Immortal. Only by passing through the tribulation of lightning, being reborn, and becoming a carefree immortal who transcends the Three Realms and is not bound by the Five Elements can I witness the changes of the Three Thousand Realms and the endless prosperity of time."
"Hmph, Master always lectures with grand principles." Bai Li pouted and acted coquettishly. Suddenly, her big eyes darted around, and she whispered in Chen Xuan's ear, "Master, does that mean that once Bai Li becomes a celestial being, she can..."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan laughed heartily and said, "By then, with the perspective of a Celestial Immortal, if you are still so unwavering..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li's eyes lit up, seemingly eagerly anticipating the rest of her master's promise.
"We'll see when the time comes," Chen Xuan said with a smile, gently flicking Bai Li's nose.
"Master, you're cheating! Bai Li, Bai Li is ignoring you! Humph!" Bai Li, not getting the promise she wanted, angrily transformed back into the girl in white, then took the treasure and headed towards the inner chamber of the immortal mansion.
Seeing Bai Li like this, Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head. He had no time to talk about his children right now; all his energy had to be focused on dealing with the Nalan family matter.
"Little Tower, as you said, with the end of this enlightenment, the Enlightenment Tree will retreat into the underground barrier to recover its power," Chen Xuan transmitted in his mind.
"Yes, when Xuan Yi forcibly awakened the Enlightenment Tree, it went berserk and tried to escape. Didn't you see the nine black Daoist chains that bound it?"
The little tower recounted, "It is precisely because of the restraint and suppression of these nine chains that, otherwise, with the spiritual root that has seized the creation of heaven and earth from the Enlightenment Tree, how could it have grown to only a mere twenty-nine feet tall in these endless years?"
"You mean, it's those nine chains that restrict the growth of the Enlightenment Tree?" Chen Xuan frowned, puzzled. "But according to you, during the Immortal Ancient Battle, didn't that Supreme-level Enlightenment Tree willingly give up its entire life's cultivation to help the cultivator civilization improve its strength?"
"Burning itself out of its own glory to bless countless cultivators, just to add a sliver of possibility for victory to our cultivator civilization, such a great achievement, how could its descendants suffer such a tragic end?" Having heard the little tower recount the deeds of the four ancient spiritual roots, I was quite moved by the Enlightenment Tree of the Ancient Immortals.
"How would I know?" After pondering for a while, Xiaota shook his head and transmitted his voice, "I have never heard of the Enlightenment Tree being able to produce offspring, and I don't know who planted this Enlightenment Tree sapling here in the first place."
Seeing that even the little tower was unsure of who was responsible, Chen Xuan's resolve to take the Enlightenment Tree with him only strengthened.
"The descendants of ancient heroes should not have fallen to such a state. Since that is the case, then I will save them," Chen Xuan murmured.
Soon, another ten days or so passed. During these ten days, Chen Xuan himself also made a preliminary attempt at the tower's heaven-defying ability to accelerate the flow of time.
All I can say is that cultivating and comprehending the Dao in a field with three times the time flow rate is an unimaginably wonderful experience.
Although only one day had passed outside, three days had passed within the accelerated space of the small tower's remaining body—it was that miraculous.
With the help of the small tower's power, Chen Xuan secluded himself for nearly two months, and his Myriad Manifestations Realm God-Demon Realm was completely stabilized.
Just as Chen Xuan was about to try to comprehend the Dao, the voice of the little tower rang in his mind.
"The time has come. The Enlightenment of the Treasure Tree will end this evening. To avoid attracting attention, I suggest you enter the underground space first. Once the Enlightenment Treasure Tree appears, use the secret method I passed on to you to capture its primordial spirit. At that time, I will help you move it into the Purple Mansion Sea space."
