Chapter 798: Chapter 662: Nascent Soul Transmission of Dao
Shen Xuan felt the changes in his body.
The Ice Technique Golden Core was completely unsealed; his Pill Essence Spiritual Power, Divine Soul strength, and Divine Sense range had all stabilized at the Late Stage Golden Core level.
His Flesh Body, tempered a thousand times over by the Nine Revolutions True Spirit Transformation, now possessed a toughness comparable to a Nascent Soul.
At this moment, the bottleneck of his Body Refining faintly loosened.
"For a breakthrough in the Flesh Body, there is no need to borrow internal or external Spiritual Power."
Shen Xuan understood this in his heart.
The key lay in fully awakening the Divine Dragon Bloodline.
The Divine Dragon Bloodline had fused completely with himself.
It was not that his body transformed into a Divine Dragon.
Rather, his body was originally that of a Divine Dragon.
In this way, as Shen Xuan cultivated the Divine Dragon Divine Power toward Perfection, he could accumulate deeply and erupt late.
Breaking through and advancing to the Divine Power Realm, then grasping and wielding the Divine Dragon Divine Power, would naturally fall into place.
As a descendant of the dragon, this was only reasonable.
"As expected of a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root."
Shen Xuan sincerely bowed with cupped hands toward the Purple Jade Cloud Mother Tree.
All things possess spirit.
All the more so a Heaven and Earth Spirit Root that had endured tens of thousands of years.
Shen Xuan comprehended the Dao beneath the tree.
The daily motions of the Purple Jade Cloud Mother Tree allowed him to sense the natural Dao Rhyme.
He adjusted the operation of his own body to synchronize with Heaven and Earth and nature.
In a certain sense.
The Purple Jade Cloud Mother Tree had displayed to him the natural Dao Rhyme of Heaven and Earth, and thus had the grace of instructing him.
As if in response.
Shen Xuan faintly heard a gentle, peaceful laugh.
Within his sea of consciousness, there appeared an old scholar in a purple robe, stroking his beard and saying, "This child is teachable."
Shen Xuan once again bowed in salute.
His Dao Heart was utterly clear and luminous.
This session of enlightenment beneath the tree had firmed his Dao Heart; he had seen through the essence of Power and found his own path of Body Refining.
Once his Body Refining stepped into the Divine Power Realm, he would also be a Tier Four Cultivator.
He could then converse as an equal with Nascent Soul True Monarchs, Transformed Great Demons, and Demon Infant Patriarchs.
"The dragon soars through the four seas! Since I am a dragon, I ought to return to the great sea. Soaring clouds and mist, Overturning Rivers and Seas, Calling the Wind and Summoning the Rain, with transformations following my will..."
At this thought, Shen Xuan’s chest suddenly opened up; a surge of heroic spirit and unrestrained ease arose of its own accord.
At this moment, after unsealing the Ice Technique Golden Core, the aura emanating from him was no longer as cold as ice and frost.
Instead, it had become gentle and harmonious.
The highest good is like water; water benefits all things and does not contend, yet the utmost softness under Heaven can sweep across the utmost hardness under Heaven.
To excel in controlling water was originally a Divine Dragon Talent.
In days past, the Buddha attained enlightenment beneath a tree, and the Confucian Sage attained enlightenment at the Dragon Field.
Today, Shen Xuan could also be said to have achieved sudden enlightenment and attained the Dao; this journey was not in vain.
He lingered no longer and came to stand before the Array barrier.
The Spirit Stream Secret Realm would close in two months, and the next opening would not come until sixty years later.
Facing the ancient barrier where Spiritual Light flowed, Shen Xuan joined his fingers like a sword and pointed into the void.
A condensed streak of deep blue Water Spiritual Power shot forth.
As it neared the Array barrier, it suddenly scattered into nine motes of lively water light, which precisely sank into the nine Array nodes.
The barrier’s Spiritual Light rippled slightly, and a gate of light quietly opened.
Shen Xuan’s figure blurred, and he had already arrived outside the Array barrier.
He was just about to retrace his original path when he suddenly felt something and looked up.
He saw, high above in the sky, a majestic and extraordinary Tier Three giant eagle diving down.
Upon the eagle’s back sat an old Daoist in a hemp robe, his hair knot loose, face gaunt and clear-cut, holding an ancient dust whisk, watching downward with a faint smile.
A clear and gentle Dao voice went straight into Shen Xuan’s Divine Soul.
"Little friend, after comprehending beneath the tree for eighty-one days, have you gained anything?"
Hearing this voice, Shen Xuan’s figure paused slightly; he then raised his head and looked toward the old Daoist on the eagle’s back in the sky.
The other party had not deliberately released Spiritual Pressure.
Yet a vast and boundless aura, like an abyss and like the sea, naturally diffused outward.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch!
A genuine great expert of the Nascent Soul stage!
Shen Xuan’s expression did not change, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
By now, the Tier Three giant eagle had folded its wings and was slowly descending, its bearing graceful and composed.
On the eagle’s back, the hemp-robed old Daoist floated down lightly; his sleeves fluttered in the wind, his gaze deep, his face wearing a smile.
He displayed the bearing of an immortal wind and Daoist bones, a reclusive superior being.
To subdue a Tier Three giant eagle as a mount, to transmit voice across the void directly into the Divine Soul, and to possess the Spiritual Pressure of the Nascent Soul stage.
Shen Xuan did not dare be negligent; he stepped forward two paces, bowed, and said respectfully, "This junior pays respects to the True Monarch."
"Hehe."
The hemp-robed old Daoist let his gaze sweep casually over Shen Xuan, as though he could see through everything.
"This poor Daoist’s Daoist title is ’Carefree.’ Little friend, since you are able to enter this world, you are a fated person. May I ask how I should address you?"
Shen Xuan’s heart tightened slightly, and he replied respectfully, "To answer True Monarch, this junior is Han Li."
Having no other choice, Shen Xuan could only borrow the name of a certain great figure.
He hoped to borrow that one’s fortune to suppress the person before him.
"Han Li..."
Carefree True Monarch softly repeated it once; the smile on his face did not diminish, and his tone became all the more kindly.
"Mr. Han, since you have had the fortune to arrive here and also to encounter this poor Daoist, it is truly rare. This poor Daoist sees that your foundation is solid, your Dao Heart is clear, and you are fated with the Thunder Technique. Come back to the Daoist Palace with me, and I shall impart to you the Five Thunders True Method without reserve. What say you?"
