Although cultivating the Primordial Unity Scripture allowed the dragon essence and immortal essence within Lu Xiaotian to coexist peacefully overall, they were still in competition with each other. The cultivation method Lu Xiaotian had practiced from the beginning was already extraordinary, and his immortal essence was exceptionally refined. Under the pressure of his dragon essence, his immortal essence had also improved over the years through this latent competition.
Ever since he cultivated the Nirvana True Flame, Lu Xiaotian's Mahavairocana Buddha Dharani Sutra had evolved into the later Mahavairocana Formlessness. And because of the influence of spatial power, even his current Mahavairocana Formlessness differed somewhat from the inheritance Shi Xingkong had passed on to him. That difference was continuing to grow more pronounced.
Spatial power influenced him in many ways. It affected not only the Buddhist divine abilities Lu Xiaotian cultivated, but also the Five Thunder Arrows and the Fangtian Halberd. It was even present almost everywhere in his cultivation of true dragon battle techniques. Its effects were somewhat similar to those of the Primordial Unity Scripture he cultivated, yet it carried even greater power.
Deep in his sea of consciousness, the Fangtian Halberd, the Five Thunder Arrows, and various Buddhist divine abilities each evolved in turn. Lu Xiaotian wore an entranced expression, the outward sign of the True Obsession Realm, the third stage of a true immortal. Later, after his unflagging efforts, the state of becoming obsessed with comprehending the Dao seemed to begin clearing, like clouds parting to reveal the sky. His former doubts seemed to be steadily unraveling, while his various divine abilities grew ever clearer, imprinting themselves directly into his very bones—and even his soul.
Within his sea of consciousness, Buddha light revolved around towering pagodas, while the Nirvana True Flame blazed fiercely, raging like a sea.
