Chapter 1822
"I never imagined that such a tremendous opportunity would fall into my hands, yet I failed to notice it. I never imagined that a hundred years later, I would still be able to enjoy this opportunity thanks to my husband's good fortune." Lin Yuyao recovered her senses and smiled with emotion.
Chen Xuan, Yu'er, and the others laughed upon hearing this. Yu'er softly replied, "This is the destiny between us and our husbands."
After Chen Xuan briefly explained the precautions for the seclusion, the six Daoist partners each chose a spot, quickly set up an isolation formation to prevent interference between them, then sat cross-legged, slowly closed their eyes, and gradually entered a state of tranquility before enlightenment.
"Bai Li." Seeing that the six Daoist partners had already begun preparations with the help of the small tower and the power of the Enlightenment Tree's primordial spirit, Chen Xuan turned to look at Bai Li, took out a Dao Fruit that exuded a rich chaotic aura, and personally handed it to her.
"This is the supreme treasure of the Chaos Clan, one of the Ten Fiends of the Immortal Ancient Era—the Chaos Dao Fruit. You have previously read many ancient texts left behind by cultivators, so you should know the benefits this thing will bring you."
Chen Xuan said softly, "Refining it will not only deepen the purity of your ancestral bloodline, but if you can use this Dao Fruit to transform into a being with true ancestral blood, your chances of surviving the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation in the future will also be greatly increased."
The Chaos Dao Fruit, which had not appeared for millions of years, was so easily bestowed upon him by his master. Bai Li froze on the spot, not daring to reach out and take it.
She knew very well that such a treasure was something that the Ten Fierce Clans would fight over during the Immortal Ancient Era. Now, she, a branch of the Illusionary Dragon with mixed bloodlines, actually possessed one.
“Master…” Bai Li’s eyes reddened, and her voice was choked with sobs, “I am merely your spirit beast. Such a treasure will surely be of great use to you in the future… If I use it, it will be a waste.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan reached out and gently stroked Bai Li's delicate nose, his tone carrying a hint of gentle reproach: "What? Don't you want to transcend tribulation and become an immortal, and stay by my side forever?"
"No, no..." Bai Li hurriedly shook her head and stammered, "It's just that this treasure is too important to you, Master. I... I can't help you much, Master, and I'm not worthy of using such a good thing."
She has always been very clear about her position—her combat strength is not top-notch, and what she can do for her master is mostly to manage the immortal mansion and take care of spiritual herbs, etc. She is really not worthy of such a heavy treasure.
"Silly girl, I still have more here." Chen Xuan held Bai Li's hand and firmly placed the Chaos Dao Fruit into her palm, his tone firm, "Don't let me down. You must refine it well and absorb the power of creation within."
Bai Li looked at the warm Chaos Dao Fruit in her palm, then looked up at Chen Xuan's trusting eyes, and nodded heavily: "Yes, Master!"
After watching Bai Li choose a good spot, set up an isolation array, and then calm down to begin preparations for her seclusion, Chen Xuan turned around and sat cross-legged in front of an open space.
With a flick of his wrist, a large number of jade bottles and gourds flew out of his storage space and were neatly arranged in front of him.
Some of these elixirs and immortal pills were spoils of war accumulated by Chen Xuan after killing enemy cultivators, while the other part were new pills refined by the Nine Sons Fire Cauldron during this period.
Chen Xuan roughly estimated that the amount of these pills was enough to support him in breaking through to the late stage of the Void Reversal Realm.
"Kid, you're practically creating an 'artificial Ziwei Star' for your spirit beast." Xiaota's voice was filled with a hint of amazement. "She was originally just a branch of the Illusionary Dragon with mixed bloodlines. With this Chaos Dao Fruit, she can not only defy fate and become a true direct descendant of the Illusionary Dragon, but there might even be a slight possibility that she can transform into a creature with ancestral true blood."
Chen Xuan raised his hand to set up his isolation array, and smiled upon hearing this: "In my eyes, she is not a spirit beast, nor a tool, but the person closest to me."
"Hehe." The little tower was silent for a moment before finally concluding for Chen Xuan, "The word 'love' will sooner or later become your Achilles' heel on the path to immortality, and it will be a major tribulation that you must face in the future."
“Kid, I’m not kidding. In the ancient times, every exceptionally talented cultivator, from the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, True Immortal Tribulation, Immortal King Tribulation, to the first Great Tribulation of Dao Integration, will have tribulations specifically targeting your inner weaknesses—the more you care about something, the more the tribulation will amplify your weaknesses, making you struggle between your Dao heart and your emotions.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan remained calm, but his tone was as direct as a steel blade: "Live in the present and follow your heart. Why worry about the future in advance?"
"You're so stubborn, just wait and see. One day you'll understand what I'm saying today," Little Tower snorted, somewhat displeased.
"These experiences of yours are undoubtedly your master's personal experiences and cultivation insights." Chen Xuan looked firmly at the tower, his words piercingly directing his gaze.
"But your master ultimately failed to break free from the shackles of being a half-step Great Emperor. You must know that above a half-step Great Emperor, there is a true Great Emperor; and above a Great Emperor, there are even higher realms that are beyond comprehension..."
He paused, his tone carrying an undeniable determination: "If I were to cultivate the Dao entirely according to your master's cultivation insights, I could at most only follow his old path. How could I possibly break free from the shackles of a half-step Great Emperor and reach a higher level?"
"You, you say that again?! Huh? Rebellion?! My master is such a great man, yet you make him sound like a loser. If it weren't for the decisive battle at the Imperial Pass, if my master were alive today, he would have already achieved the status of an emperor!" Xiaota was instantly hit where it hurt, and his voice suddenly rose, full of exasperation.
"Hehehe, don't be angry, why are you getting so worked up? I'm just stating the facts." Chen Xuan quickly smiled apologetically, but his tone remained firm. "Your master's insights into the immortal path can only serve as a reference for me, not as the ultimate goal of my cultivation—because I, Chen Xuan, am going to walk the path above the Great Emperor of the Righteous Path."
"Hmph, watch out, a bolt of lightning might strike you dead, you arrogant fool!" Little Tower cursed angrily, but didn't continue the argument.
"Alright, little tower, no matter what, don't worry. If I can truly reach the level your master once reached, I will never forget my promise to you," Chen Xuan said, softening his tone to reassure you.
Xiao Ta didn't respond again, and Chen Xuan wisely stopped teasing him. Although his words just now seemed arrogant, they were his truest thoughts—his path was never to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors, but to forge his own immortal path.
Chen Xuan quickly composed himself, formed hand seals, and began circulating the Nirvana Sutra. He opened his mouth and gently inhaled into the jade bottle before him, and a soft, gurgling sound rang out—
Countless elixirs, spirit pills, and golden pills instantly transformed into a stream of emerald water, continuously flowing into Chen Xuan's mouth, thus officially commencing his secluded cultivation.
