Senior Brother, You're Awake?

Chen Lingxi pondered deeply, but showed no trace of it on her face.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't notice anything amiss.

The memories altered by the Cauldron Vessel were so seamless, and the emotions that welled up from the bottom of his heart were so natural and sincere, as if the True Person before him truly had the grace of giving him a second chance at life.

Ordinary cultivators, no matter how high their cultivation level, would likely be blinded by these memories and emotions, spending their lives in a daze, thinking they have encountered a good teacher and are extremely fortunate.

But Chen Lingxi is different.

The Divine Chamber possesses a unique quality that allows him to clearly distinguish between real and false memories.

Just then, the True Person suddenly flicked his sleeve.

A Divine Ability Jade, a Divine Ability artifact, suddenly appeared, floating in the air.

The Divine Ability Jade shimmered with spiritual light, and numerous mysterious patterns floated within it.

The Divine Ability object was an ancient cauldron the size of a palm, radiating an extremely rich Daoist aura.

"Now that you have achieved the Wondrous Fruit cultivation and perfected the Dao Foundation Early Stage, you should step into the Dao Foundation Middle Stage and become a pillar of my Deer-Sleeping Peak."

The clouds around True Person Xiang Shu condensed again, obscuring his appearance.

His voice came from behind the clouds, still gentle. "Then cultivate this great Divine Ability and see if you can reach the Dao Foundation Middle Stage Establishment realm within thirty years and catch up with the Nine-Gates Grand Gathering."

Chen Lingxi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly delighted. He took the two treasures and then bid farewell.

He soared through the Deer-Sleeping Peak and covering a distance of a thousand miles.

A strong wind blows across the sky, and the sea of clouds surges.

Chen Lingxi atop the cloud, pondering the details of his meeting with True Person Xiang Shu, when he suddenly saw a figure dressed in white, with a long sword at his waist and a composed aura, waiting for him on the distant clouds.

The man stood on the cloud, his white robes fluttering, the long sword at his waist gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

His aura was deep and composed, clearly indicating that he was a powerful cultivator who had achieved considerable success.

"Senior Brother Shen Xiu'an..." Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly.

He recognized the man.

In those false memories, this person was none other than Shen Xiu'an, the eldest disciple of Deer-Sleeping Peak, who had saved him when he was wounded and on the verge of death.

After thinking for a moment, he also came up to the clouds and Shen Xiu'an.

Shen Xiu'an had a handsome and extraordinary appearance, but when he saw Chen Lingxi, he suddenly frowned.

He looked Chen Lingxi up and down, his calm eyes revealing a mixture of concern and seriousness.

"You have already cultivated to the realm of Wondrous Fruit, so how could your State of Mind be unstable and your lightning power lost due to cultivating the Thunder Prison Divine Ability? It must be that someone is plotting against you!"

Shen Xiu'an's eyes showed worry. In the blink of an eye, a sword Sword Qi suddenly flew over and hovered in front of Chen Lingxi.

The Sword Qi was condensed and did not dissipate, its sharpness was concealed, yet it contained an extremely pure sword intent, clearly not an ordinary thing.

"Keep this Sword Talisman Sword Talisman with you at all times. If you encounter any danger, you can use it."

Shen Xiu'an's voice came from behind the Sword Qi, his tone sincere. "The Sword Talisman can kill Dao Foundation Middle Stage cultivator."

"If you activate the Sword Talisman, I will know your location and come to protect you."

Chen Lingxi looked at the Sword Talisman hanging in front of her, then looked up at Shen Xiu'an.

Shen Xiu'an spoke sincerely, his eyes revealing genuine concern.

It was like a true elder brother worrying about the safety of his junior brother.

Chen Lingxi was even more surprised.

He vaguely felt that both his senior brother Shen Xiu'an and his junior sister Yuan Lingyu were quite serious about him and were definitely not acting.

The smile in Yuan Lingyu's eyes and the worry in Shen Xiu'an's eyes were so genuine, as if they were truly his senior and junior brothers and sisters, and truly regarded him as their closest relatives.

Chen Lingxi suddenly thought of a possibility.

"It seems that I'm not the only one affected by this Cauldron Vessel; my so-called senior and junior brothers and sisters have also had their memories altered by Cauldron Vessel," he thought to himself.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

The "Spirit Bearer Brother Spirit Bearer" in Yuan Lingyu's memory and the "Junior Brother Zhiling" in Shen Xiu'an's memory were probably both woven by that same Cauldron Vessel.

In their eyes, he was the senior brother True Person Xiang Shu who came from Sun-Watching Peak, was rescued by Shen Xiu'an, and was taken in as a disciple by Spirit Bearer.

Their joy and worry were genuine and heartfelt.

Because their memories have also been rewritten.

The strange feeling in Chen Lingxi's heart became even clearer at this moment.

Looking at his senior brother, who was genuinely worried about his safety, and at the Sword Talisman hanging before him, capable of slaying Dao Foundation Middle Stage cultivator, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

As he pondered this, he was about to accept the Sword Talisman.

Suddenly!

The Twin Luminous Mirrors in the sky suddenly shattered!

Those two bright mirrors hanging high in the sky, one is as blazing as the sun, and the other is as silvery as the moon!

At that moment, Twin Luminous Mirrors shattered simultaneously, turning into countless tiny fragments of light that scattered and fell down.

Everything in the Void shattered one after another.

Distant mountains, sea of clouds, the phantom of Divine Deer, Deer-Sleeping Peak...

And the Sword Talisman hovering in front of Shen Xiu'an.

In an instant, they all crumbled and dissipated, layer by layer, returning to nothingness.

Ten-Day Total Perception, it all dissipated.

This was the first time Chen Lingxi had stayed in the Total Perception Divine Chamber for a full ten days, and also the first time she had to leave Total Perception due to the evolution time limit!

"Stealing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth, and drawing inspiration from the past and present."

A verse appeared in Chen Lingxi.

The many things that were obtained from this Total Perception Evolution were like phantom images, hanging high in the clouds above the Void Divine Chamber.

The clouds surged like waves, enveloping the entire Divine Chamber in a hazy mist.

The phantom images of numerous treasures hung there, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror, seemingly there yet not there.

Chen Lingxi's consciousness descended into the clouds, and she looked closely.

Then they saw the spiritual energy of the Cauldron Vessel hanging high Sun-Awakening Upper Peak.

They also saw the Divine Ability Jade and Divine Ability objects bestowed by the True Person Xiang Shu of Deer-Sleeping Peak.

He also received Sword Talisman from his senior brother Shen Xiu'an.

Each of the treasures was extraordinary.

Chen Lingxi did not hesitate.

With a thought, his gaze fell upon a cloud of mist, where the treasure was none other than the spirit of the [Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance] cauldron Cauldron Vessel of the True Person Xiang Shu!

The divine spirit of Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance transformed into a wisp of purple purple qi, hovering deep within the clouds.

As the purple qi surged, it was like a twilight cloud confined to a small space, its colors constantly shifting, sometimes deep purple like ink, sometimes light purple like smoke.

Within that purple qi, countless fine lines seemed to meander, like purple serpents, exhaling a chilling, ancient aura.

Chen Lingxi reached out and grasped the ball of purple qi.

The purple qi felt warm to the touch, yet was icy cold to the touch, as if holding a handful of purple jade scooped from an ancient, deep pool.

He held the Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance, which symbolized destiny, and felt a slight sense of peace.

"With the spiritual energy of this Cauldron Vessel, I can rely on the [Dao-Seizing Fruit] to devour the spiritual energy of the Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance, thereby preserving a trace of clarity amidst the power of the Cauldron Vessel of True Person Xiang Shu."

He thought to himself.

The Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance flowed in his palm, which he then enveloped with the power of his Divine Chamber and sealed within the clouds.

The next moment!

Utterly and completely shattered!

As Chen Lingxi regained consciousness, she saw Wang Chenchuan riding a Heavenly Shuttle shuttle in front of her.

They had just left Sun-Watching Peak, and he was about to follow Wang Chenchuan to Sun-Awakening Upper Peak.

It was on the Sun-Awakening Upper Peak that he was caught in the power of the Yangjue Peak Master 'Cauldron Vessel, thus revealing the location of his Immortal Husk.

Wang Chenchuan and Chen Lingxi walked in the Void. Chen Lingxi carefully recalled the events she encountered when she Total Perception Evolution.

"Just as Yangjue Peak Master discovered my fortuitous opportunity for Immortal Husk using the Cauldron Vessel, Sect Master Chu Yichan Dragon-Offering Sect and True Person Yu Jun arrived to investigate Zhongmiao Dao Opportunity."

Chen Lingxi pondered carefully.

Na Chu Yichan carried a sword, her sword intent as vast as the sea, her cultivation unfathomable.

True Person Yu Jun is the true Golden Grotto True Person; with every move he makes, the Void twists and turns.

"Even Chu Yichan is incredibly fast, it's impossible for her to travel over 100,000 miles in the blink of an eye to reach Sun-Awakening Upper Peak."

"Therefore... Chu Yichan did not come for the Immortal Husk; for the Dragon-Offering Sect, the Immortal Husk was merely an unexpected bonus."

Chen Lingxi's mind was filled with turmoil.

"What is Zhongmiao Dao Opportunity...?"

Chen Lingxi in the Void, letting the wind blow through his robes, but the thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer.

That Immortal Husk was something he brought out through the evolution of his Total Perception Evolution. Treasures brought out through the Total Perception Evolution can be stored by Chen Lingxi in the Divine Chamber.

The Divine Chamber is mysterious and profound; even the Great Sage Luo Yuan and the True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family have not been able to see through Divine Chamber.

Dragon-Offering Sect was naturally unable to see through his Immortal Husk.

"So this Zhongmiao Dao Opportunity is meant for me?"

Chen Lingxi frowned slightly, then took a deep breath.

Since Dragon-Offering Sect has already set its sights on him.

With the immense power of such a behemoth, and mere Dao Foundation Early Stage cultivator like myself, there's no way I could escape Dragon-Offering Territory even if I wanted to.

The Dragon-Offering Sect spans tens of thousands of miles of territory, with its mountain-protecting array extending endlessly, and with the Golden Grotto True Person in charge, even a Dao Foundation Realm cultivator like him would find it difficult to escape.

"And in that Total Perception Evolution, I was woven into my experiences by the Golden Grotto Realm True Person Xiang Shu using the [Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance], and thus I became a disciple of Deer-Sleeping Peak."

"Now that I possess the spiritual energy of the Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance, and by borrowing the Dao-Seizing Fruit, I can retain a sliver of clarity within the Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance, so that I don't lose all my memories."

"Since that's the case, I can't escape, so I might as well not try."

As Chen Lingxi pondered this, a wisp of her Divine Sense immediately entered the Hongdong Bag.

The Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree lay peacefully in the Hongdong Bag, with another Dao-Seizing Fruit beside it.

The Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree the Shedao path was ancient and gnarled, its trunk twisted like a dragon, its branches and leaves lush and verdant. At this moment, it lay quietly in the bag, exuding a warm and ancient aura.

Chen Lingxi had obtained two Dao-Seizing Fruit. He used one of them on the Emperor Daye Cauldron Vessel, [Weaving Delusion Golden Eyes].

The other one was acquired not long ago, even earlier than the Cauldron Vessel [Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree], but I've never had the chance to use it.

Unexpectedly, it has become a life-saving treasure.

"Moreover... when Total Perception Evolution fell into Deer-Sleeping Peak, this complete Cauldron Vessel -Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree were still in my Hongdong Bag."

"Didn't that True Person Xiang Shu search my Hongdong Bag after I fell into a coma?"

Chen Lingxi an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, since he fell into the hands of True Person Xiang Shu and had his memories woven by the Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance, True Person Xiang Shu would have thoroughly searched him from head to toe.

His Hongdong Bag and all the treasures he possessed should have fallen into the hands of that True Person.

But the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree is still there.

Immediately, a sense of helplessness arose in my heart.

Since he entered the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, during his secluded cultivation, he has wanted to refine the complete Cauldron Vessel- Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree, and from then on, he would cultivate with the cauldron and become a true Cauldron Vessel cultivator!

The Cauldron Vessel has its own wonders; once it is refined by a cultivator and recognizes its master, others will not even have the chance to covet it.

When a cultivator dies, the Cauldron Vessel will turn into fragments and scatter throughout the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, and even among many secret realms Cave Heaven.

I just don't know why.

Chen Lingxi was still unable to refine the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree, which left him with lingering worries and fears that the existence of this Cauldron Vessel would be discovered by others.

He tried several times to activate his Dao Origin and inject it into the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree.

The moment Dao Origin entered the tree, he vanished silently into the depths of the tree trunk, like a stone sinking into the sea, without even causing a ripple.

That's why the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree remained lying peacefully in the bag, completely still.

It was as if some kind of restriction, which he could not yet touch, was hidden within the ancient tree trunk.

"In any case, during the Total Perception Evolution, this Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree was not obtained by that True Person, so I don't need to worry too much."

Chen Lingxi had many doubts in her heart, but she was also secretly relieved.

He shook his head, not wanting to think about it further, and his Divine Sense thus carried the spiritual energy of the [Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance] Cauldron Vessel and landed on the Dao-Seizing Fruit.

Instantly, the Dao-Seizing Fruit vanished, transforming into a wisp of Mysterious Qi that enveloped the Cauldron Vessel's spiritual energy and followed his Divine Sense into his Dao Platform and Consciousness Sea.

In an instant!

A purple glow suddenly flashed in Chen Lingxi's eyes!

Then he restrained himself even more.

The purple light flashed from the depths of his eyes, like a purple rainbow suppressed at the bottom of a well, appearing for only a very short moment before sinking back into the deep pool.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the trajectory of the Cauldron Vessel's spiritual energy as it traveled through his Consciousness Sea.

"The power of this Cauldron Vessel is truly profound."

"With this Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance, one can see through the Zixia illusion... and can also use the immense power of the [Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance] Cauldron Vessel once."

"This is my reliance on going to the Dragon-Offering Sect."

With this thought in mind, Chen Lingxi followed Wang Chenchuan straight to Sun-Awakening Upper Peak.

The scenery at Sun-Awakening Upper Peak is magnificent, with a small sun hanging high in the sky.

The sun hung above the mountain peak, its entire body burning with blazing white flames, enveloping the entire mountain in a dazzling golden light.

"This is the very Cauldron Vessel!"

He knew that this sun was the Cauldron Vessel that had exposed his Immortal Husk, and that in the Total Perception Evolution... he was now already trapped in the Cauldron Vessel's immense power.

Many things that followed were illusions.

Amidst this illusion, Chen Lingxi glanced up at the Sun Cauldron Vessel and murmured to himself, "I only need to endure this illusion within the Cauldron Vessel Chu Yichan, the Dragon-Offering Main Sect, comes to find me."

As Chen Lingxi pondered, he saw Yangjue Peak Master returning with the Flood Dragon in his hand; he then entered the main hall and saw Yangjue Peak Master fighting with the Flood Dragon; he met Elders Mo Ge and Liu Zhi; subsequently, he became the Yangjue Upper Peak Chief Disciple and returned to Sun-Watching Peak.

This time, however, he quietly cultivated on Sun-Watching Peak, without revealing his Immortal Husk or any of his hidden strength.

He spent more than a month in this way at Sun-Watching Peak.

He knew it was all an illusion, and in this illusion, Azure Pool Peak even sent people to pay their respects and bring several treasures as an apology, making it seem incredibly real.

The envoy from Azure Pool Peak bowed and scraped, his face beaming with smiles, and presented him with several treasures that shimmered with spiritual light, saying many kind words.

It was as if a chief Yangjue was truly stationed at Sun-Watching Peak, effectively suppressing those covetous gazes.

Until this day.

Despite the bright sunshine, Chen Lingxi remained seated cross-legged on Sun-Watching Peak, practicing his meditation.

A loud sound suddenly rang out.

"The master has ordered me to come and retrieve [Zhongmiao Dao Opportunity]."

Chen Lingxi opened her eyes, only to find everything around her suddenly shattered.

He returned to the void above Yangjue Peak, where Wang Chenchuan was still before him. In the void, the peak master of Yangjue Peak stood atop the clouds, holding a dragon in his hand...

Then.

He saw Chu Yichan again!

But this time... because there was no secret of her Immortal Husk, Chu Yichan her sword but did not say much, nor did she report to the sect leader or invite the True Person Yu Jun to come.

She flicked her finger slightly!

A powerful divine Divine Ability crashed down!

Chen Lingxi felt dizzy and her consciousness became somewhat blurred.

He felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, surrounded only by endless darkness and the howling wind.

When his consciousness returned.

Suddenly, he realized that he was surrounded by purple clouds.

The purple clouds spread across the sky, enveloping him entirely in a misty purple haze.

The purple clouds surged like waves, their colors shifting endlessly, sometimes deep purple like ink, sometimes light purple like smoke. Within the purple clouds, countless fine lines seemed to wander, like purple snakes, exhaling a chilling, ancient aura.

Chen Lingxi's eyes flickered.

"Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance!"

He silently recited those four words in his heart, but a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

Within his Consciousness Sea, the immense power of [Fate-Evolving Purple Radiance] brought by the Dao-Seizing Fruit was flowing, making him extremely clear-headed.

The scenes of many Cauldron Vessel being woven together quietly faded away at this moment.

Sun-Watching Peak, Yellow Luminary Peak, Changle, Deer-Sleeping Peak, Shen Xiu'an, Master...

All of this was thus imprinted in Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi watched coldly as the purple glow dissipated...

Then...

He heard a joyful shout.

"Senior brother, you're awake?"
