Achieving a Great Art
Chen Lingxi did not immediately use his internal energy to refine the Immortal Pivot spiritual energy into his body, but simply let the lake water carry his body and sink into the depths of the lake.
The emerald green halo deep within the lake enveloped him, its gentle light soothing his wounds like a thick veil.
With his eyes closed, many images involuntarily flooded his mind.
"Zhao Duanxuan, Bai Lingze..."
Chen Lingxi a deep breath.
He can still recall many scenes.
Zhao Duanxuan's clone emerged from the shattered sun and struck down with a palm, as if slapping a flying insect in the Void.
Bai Lingze looked down at him from above, amidst the sonic waves of the Divine Hymn, his eyes filled with an arrogant and self-righteous killing intent...
"Even ants have lives, don't let me escape," he silently prayed.
He silently recited those two names in his heart, and the murderous intent in his eyes grew calm yet intense, like a wildfire spreading across the plains.
Since he began cultivating, he had never felt such intense murderous intent towards anyone.
A faint hint of coldness appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As night faded, the morning light slowly rose from the horizon.
Rippling waves spread across the clear, azure surface of the lake, the water silently washing away the scabs and burn marks on Chen Lingxi's body. The Dao Origin Zhao Duanxuan still possessed within him was being worn away bit by bit by the spiritual energy of the Lake Immortal Pivot.
Two months have quietly passed.
For the past two months, Chen Lingxi has remained motionless deep within the lake.
The boundless life force in the lake washed over his body day after day, completely annihilating the remaining Dao Origin within him.
Nourished by this immense spiritual energy, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform became even more profound and refined than before its injury.
The mysterious patterns on the Dao Platform became increasingly clear, and the Dao Seed Realm residing on the Dao Platform was also slowly growing stronger.
His physical body also benefited from the misfortune; the bones that Zhao Duanxuan had shattered with a single palm strike became even more resilient under the nourishment of this spiritual energy.
Beneath his skin, a faint, soft, jade-like luster flowed, and with each breath, he exhaled and exhaled an even more powerful essence than before.
Chen Lingxi healed his wounds in the middle of the lake, never slacking off in his cultivation.
Besides using the Dragon-Stripping True Art to refine the spiritual energy of the Lake Immortal Pivot every day, he would use his Divine Chamber Wandering Sight Divine Ability to spy on the location of the Emperor Daye.
What weighed heavily on his mind was that during those two months of Sight-Roaming, he was completely unable to detect any trace of Emperor Daye Ying Xian.
There are only two possibilities.
Either Emperor Daye has already perished, or Emperor Daye is not within his sphere of Sight-Roaming.
Chen Lingxi frowned.
Upon ascending the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation, his Sight-Roaming extended forty thousand miles in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Despite the vastness of their perception, they could not find any trace of Emperor Daye.
Where did he go?
Could it be that he truly perished at the hands of Zhao Duanxuan?
But then he thought it was unlikely.
What kind of person Emperor Daye? With his Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation, Immortal Husk, Weaving Delusion Golden Eyes, backed by the power of the Weiji Grotto-Heaven Heaven, a Dao Foundation Middle Stage was enough to suppress Zhao Duanxuan before he reached the mid- Dao Foundation Middle Stage.
How could such a person perish so easily?
During this time, Chen Lingxi met Daoist Shurong Sight-Roaming, only to discover that Daoist Shurong was still searching for traces of Immortal Husk.
If Emperor Daye is already dead, the Immortal Husk would most likely fall into the hands of the Xi and Bai families. So why would Daoist Shurong Immortal Husk still be searching for it?
It is clear that the Immortal Husk has not yet fallen into anyone's hands.
The lake is tranquil, its surface shrouded in a serene, almost ethereal atmosphere.
Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged in the depths of the lake, his eyes gleaming.
After a long while, he let out a long breath.
"Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Daye Dynasty is my enemy."
Although his parents died directly from Rong Chun 'Mirror Listening words, the one who held the fragments of the Mirror-Listening Cauldron was already Emperor Daye at that time.
Ultimately, the source Mirror Listening the prophecy that led to the destruction of his Chen Family was still Emperor Daye.
Yet, amidst the narrow passages of the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, and the deadly trap set by numerous powerful Great Xuanzhuo Realm, Emperor Daye was the only one protecting him.
If it weren't for that Golden Finger Bone, and if it weren't for the Heavenly Decline Method Divine Ability that trapped Bai Lingze, Chen Lingxi would have died many times over.
"Emperor Daye's protection of me is not entirely out of goodwill; it is highly likely that he is plotting against me."
Chen Lingxi frowned in thought...
"Neither friend nor foe, yet both enemy and fellow Daoist," Chen Lingxi murmured to himself, the light in his eyes growing even brighter.
Within this Weiji Grotto-Heaven, Emperor Daye was probably the only "person" who stood on the same side as him.
They were all ordinary people, ants struggling to survive in the World-Refining Furnace, desperately searching for a glimmer of hope in the cracks.
In that case, he should just focus on moving forward as much as possible.
Deep in the heart of the lake, Chen Lingxi slowly stood up.
The lake water slid off his shoulder, creating ripples on the clear surface of the lake.
He has recovered from his injuries at the Lake Immortal Pivot, Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform is even stronger than before, while his physical body has also returned to normal.
It's time to go to Storm Immortal Pivot again.
He intends to cultivate the great divine Divine Ability of Thunder-Prison Heaven within that Storm Immortal Pivot, plant the Mystic Entry Realm root within it, and ascend to the Dao Foundation Realm!
Chen Lingxi rose from the water, and the pale golden lightning around him once again enveloped him from head to toe.
He silently activated the Cloud-Riding Method beneath his feet, stirring up a ripple on the lake's surface. His entire body transformed into a pale golden rainbow, soaring straight into the heavens and heading towards the Storm Immortal Pivot!
--
The Storm Immortal Pivot still hangs high in the sky, with lightning flashing and hurricanes howling.
As Chen Lingxi stepped into it, the surging, Unfinished Thunder rushed towards him, swirling wildly around him without harming him in the slightest.
He sat cross-legged in the very center of the storm, took the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch from his Hongdong Bag and held it in his hand, his Divine Sense sinking into the Divine Ability Jade.
Thunder-Prison Heaven, the Killing Power Great Art Great Radiance Supreme Jade Dao.
The thunder of heaven and earth gathers to form the Thunder Prison. Within this thunder, the master of the Thunder Prison is like a god in person, possessing unparalleled Killing Power.
Chen Lingxi his eyes and concentrated on circulating that great Divine Ability power, and the Unfinished Thunder in the storm poured into his body like a river.
The Daoist essence contained within the thunder was too vast and too pure, surging into the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and intertwining and continuously refining with his own Thunder Treasure Qi.
The mysterious vortex on the Dao Platform spun rapidly, devouring the incoming lightning power and then feeding it back into the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch.
Under this relentless infusion Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch dissolved at a visible speed, transforming into an incomparably pure stream of thunderous essence that merged into his Qi Sea, becoming one with that great Divine Ability power.
One day, two days, three days... Time slipped away quietly amidst this relentless storm.
Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged, and the surging lightning around him enveloped him like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.
The methods of the Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability flowed through his Consciousness Sea. The key points and secrets became clear and transparent under the impact of the Unfinished Thunder, like the sun breaking through the clouds, and he suddenly understood.
The Great Radiance Supreme Jade Dao is the Dao of Thunder!
Chen Lingxi comprehended the True Intention thunder within this Storm Immortal Pivot.
The might of Heavenly Punishment, the sound of heavenly drums, the wrath of gods, the annihilation of immortals... all these mysterious and profound thunderous Divine Ability and techniques were thus deeply imprinted in the depths of his Consciousness Sea.
I don't know how much time has passed.
On this day, an indescribable light suddenly shone on the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within Chen Lingxi's body.
The light was dazzling, turning the entire Storm Immortal Pivot into a blinding pale gold.
At the very center of the light, the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch had completely melted away, and bolts of lightning flashed continuously, like the breath of true dragons!
The Great Divine Ability is about to manifest Profound Root!
Once the Mysterious Root is formed, the Dao Platform is no longer an ordinary Dao Platform, but a Great Divine Dao Platform that carries the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.
Once the Profound Root is fully embedded in the Dao Platform, the surging spiritual energy in Chen Lingxi Qi Sea will transform into Dao Origin.
At that time, every move they make will be guided by the Great Dao, and their combat power will increase exponentially.
The two pale golden lightning bolts in Chen Lingxi's eyes suddenly blazed brightly.
He took a deep breath and began cultivating his great Divine Ability, nurturing his Profound Root!
Many more days passed, and Chen Lingxi's entire body transformed into layers of Thunder Prison!
A terrifying and profound Daoist aura flowed out!
Thunder entered his body, and great Divine Ability flowed through him.
Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged peacefully, the surging pale golden lightning around him growing ever more intense, like a real thunderous sun slowly rising from this Storm Immortal Pivot.
Great Divine Ability has been achieved!
