Heaven-Defying Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light

"Th-this..." The huge eye atop Gong Gong's serpent head widened into a perfect circle, and even his voice trembled.

"Brother Pan Xuan, are you sure? Enhancing comprehension? Wouldn't that turn idiots into geniuses? A divine ability like this simply defies fate itself!"

Zhu Rong no longer cared to bicker with Gong Gong and hurriedly asked,

"Then shine it on me. Can I become a little smarter too?

"I cultivate the Law of Fire. I always feel like I'm just one step away from a breakthrough, yet I can never grasp that fleeting opportunity!"

Xuan Ming shot Zhu Rong a cold glance. "Forget it. It would be a waste of light on you."

The ancestral witches burst into laughter, but once it faded, every pair of eyes was filled with shock and disbelief.

Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light, enhancing intelligence and comprehension. What did that mean?

It meant that as long as Pan Xuan was willing, he could mass-produce geniuses!

He could turn a dull-witted clansman into someone of unparalleled brilliance. He could allow a cultivator stuck at a bottleneck for tens of millions of years to attain enlightenment overnight!

In the Primordial World, on the path of cultivation, talent and comprehension were often even more important than one's foundation and origin.

A being with a deep foundation but dull comprehension might cultivate for tens of millions of years and still fail to break through a bottleneck.

Yet a being with peerless comprehension could, even with a shallow foundation, forge a new path and walk their own Dao.

Pan Xuan's Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light was simply more heaven-defying than any spiritual pill, miraculous medicine, or innate spiritual treasure!

"I don't believe it." Qiangliang shook his head, and the snake clenched between his teeth swayed along with it. His eyes were full of suspicion.

"This is too absurd. I can believe in granting spiritual intelligence, but enhancing comprehension?

"Comprehension is determined at birth. How can it be altered afterward? If comprehension could be enhanced at will, wouldn't the world be thrown into chaos?"

Xizi added, "Qiangliang has a point. Heaven and earth gave birth to all things, and each has its own fate.

"Brilliance and dullness are all determined at birth and bound by the Heavenly Dao. If they could be changed at will, what use would the Heavenly Dao have?"

Shebishi also pondered, "This matter is indeed inconceivable. Brother Pan Xuan, do not let your inherited memories deceive you.

"Some inherited memories may not record genuine divine abilities. They may instead be deductions that have yet to be realized.

"After all, you have only just gained spiritual intelligence. Perhaps your inherited memories have not yet fully clarified."

Zhu Rong, rarely serious, nodded.

"Yes, Brother Pan Xuan. It isn't that I don't believe you, but each of your divine abilities is more outrageous than the last.

"The Righteous Vitality Formula makes you forever the strongest, the Merit Profound Yellow Dharma Aspect lets you grow without limit, and the Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light makes people smarter...

"If you said you could fight ten of me, I'd believe it. But this third ability... it's simply too heaven-defying, so heaven-defying that no one dares believe it!"

Even Gong Gong agreed. "This time, I share Zhu Rong's view.

"Brother Pan Xuan, don't set your sights too high. The first two divine abilities are already heaven-defying opportunities.

"Even if the third is somewhat lacking, it doesn't matter. After all, how can anything in this world be perfect in every way?"

On Tianwu's true form of eight human-faced heads, sixteen eyes all turned toward Pan Xuan. His voice howled like a gale.

"Brother Pan Xuan, it is not that we do not believe you. This matter is simply too astonishing.

"Tell us, then: what exactly is the principle behind this Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light? If it can truly enhance comprehension, what does it rely upon? What is its foundation?"

The gazes of all the ancestral witches converged on Pan Xuan. There was anticipation, doubt, curiosity, and a hint of concern.

Pan Xuan looked at the questioning ancestral witches, but his heart remained undisturbed.

He knew these ancestral witches were not jealous of him, nor were they deliberately making things difficult.

They were sincerely concerned for him, afraid that he had been misled by his inherited memories and would be left rejoicing in vain in the future.

After all, though errors in inherited memories were uncommon in the Primordial World, they were not unheard of.

Just as he was about to explain, Houtu spoke first.

"Brothers," Houtu's voice remained gentle, though it now carried a note of solemnity, "Brother Pan Xuan has only just awakened. His inherited memories may not necessarily be wrong.

"Why don't we first hear him out in detail before making a judgment?

"Even if there are doubts, we should discuss them properly rather than blindly questioning him."

Di Jiang nodded as well. "Houtu is right.

"Since Pan Xuan dares to speak of this divine ability, he naturally has his reasons.

"Let us hear him out. If it is true, it will be a tremendous opportunity for our Witch Clan.

"If there is an error in his inherited memories, we can help him distinguish it clearly and prevent him from taking the wrong path in the future."

Zhu Jiuyin also opened his murky old eyes, his voice hoarse and distant. "Just now, I observed with the power of time.

"Though I could not see Pan Xuan's future clearly, I could sense upon him an aura... one that enlightens all things.

"That aura is extraordinarily profound and unlike any power I have ever seen.

"It is not the power of slaughter, nor is it the power of creation. Rather, it is... a power that allows all things to ascend.

"This divine ability may truly have some basis."

Warmth rose in Pan Xuan's heart. He gave the three ancestral witches a slight nod, then took a deep breath. Golden light surged within his dragon eyes.

Within that golden radiance, Profound Yellow energy faintly flowed, while righteous vitality rose, as though it contained the most fundamental mysteries of heaven and earth.

"Brothers and sisters," his voice was neither hurried nor slow, yet it carried a convincing power, as though every word came from the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

"Ordinary enlightenment is an external force imposed upon something, granting spiritual intelligence to an inanimate object.

"It is like lighting a lamp in a dark room. Once the lamp is lit, the room has light.

"But that light is ultimately granted by an external force. Once the lamp goes out, the dark room remains a dark room."

He paused. His dragon body slowly moved, his nine claws tracing profound paths through the Profound Yellow energy. "But my Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light is different."

"Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light does not light a lamp. It opens a window!"

Pan Xuan's voice suddenly rose, and the golden light in his dragon eyes blazed like the sun at its zenith, illuminating the entire Pangu Hall.

"It opens a window in the wall of that dark room, allowing the light of wisdom from heaven and earth to shine in on its own!

"Those enlightened by the Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light do not receive wisdom from an external force. Rather, the potential already within them is awakened!

"This wisdom grows in their bones and is carved into their souls. No one can take it away, and it will never fade!"

His voice echoed through Pangu Hall like a great bell, shaking the hearts of all who heard it.

"Ordinary enlightenment gives a man a fish. He has fish today, but none tomorrow.

"Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light teaches a man to fish. Once he learns, he benefits for life.

"Ordinary enlightenment merely allows the dull-witted to cultivate with difficulty, but they will ultimately struggle to achieve greatness.

"Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light gives every living being the chance to comprehend the origin of the Great Dao, the qualifications to become a mighty power in their own right!"

"What Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light opens is not spiritual intelligence, but Dao Heart! Comprehension!

"It is a living being's ability to perceive the Great Dao of heaven and earth!

"This divine ability does not defy heaven. It follows heaven!

"It follows that sliver of innate spiritual light within every living being, awakening it and allowing it to bloom!"

After those words, Pangu Hall fell into a long silence.

Zhu Rong's mouth hung open, and even his flames forgot to dance.

Gong Gong's serpent head tilted slightly back, his eyes full of shock.

Qiangliang, Xizi, Shebishi, Jumang, Rushou, Tianwu, Xizi... every ancestral witch wore expressions of shock and contemplation.

After a long while, Di Jiang slowly spoke, a tremor in his voice.

"Teach a man to fish... give every living being a chance to comprehend the origin of the Great Dao... Pan Xuan, if this Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light of yours is real..."

He did not finish, but everyone understood what he meant.

If it was real, then Pan Xuan was no ordinary Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.

He was an existence capable of changing the entire balance of the Primordial World!
