"Wondrous..."
"One flower could keep out all that was ominous, even Calamity?"

And to keep it running, it needed ample energy.
But this flower seemed to need nothing at all. It simply grew there, naturally driving away everything ominous and all Calamity.

With his current strength, he might exhaust every trick he had and still fail to wear down an Eternal-level existence.
This was not a question of how much time it would take. The gulf between their fundamental natures was the problem.

They looked as gentle as ripples on water, yet they offered tremendous resistance.
Even with Li Yun's Nine-Wheel Realm cultivation and strength comparable to the first stage of refinement, he could not force his way through. Worse, the harder he pushed, the
