The shadows of the idle clouds and the pond are leisurely, and the world has changed and the stars have moved as autumn has passed.
In the pure white sky and earth, the cry of a whale suddenly woke Jiang Yuebai up.
She opened her eyes and saw a towering tree that looked like an old banyan tree. Between the green leaves were things that were either flower buds or fruits. The longans were of different sizes.
Before building the foundation, with the help of the Grand Elder, Jiang Yuebai entered the 'realm of enlightenment' for the first time. At that time, she had only a partial understanding of the 'Tao', and there was only a seedling in the realm of enlightenment.
In the demon clan, through the sacred tree, she entered the 'realm of enlightenment' for the second time. At that time, the seedlings had grown into small trees, with lush branches and leaves, each different, representing the five elements and the four seasons, representing everything she had comprehended.
It’s a pity that it is too disorganized and unsystematic, which makes it difficult for the little tree to bear.
Later, the sacred tree asked her to become grass and learn the "cycle" of nature. Although she gained some insights later, she was unable to enter the "realm of enlightenment" again to check.
This time when he became water, Jiang Yuebai didn't know how many years he had practiced. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived here.
Tao is illusory and difficult to describe in detail. The scene presented by each person's "realm of enlightenment" is different. It is the embodiment of the abstract Tao in some form.
Because when the Supreme Elder first mentioned this state to Jiang Yuebai, he was referring to the 'Tree of Enlightenment', so in Jiang Yuebai's state of enlightenment, the 'Tao' has always appeared in the form of a tree.
Jiang Yuebai raised his head and looked at his own enlightenment tree again. The branches were thick and strong, and full of vitality.
Every book she reads and every piece of knowledge she comprehends will become nutrients for the tree of enlightenment.
The various ways of cultivation that were once unsystematic have developed their own "cycles" and "systems" due to her persistent exploration and pursuit of knowledge over the years.
It's hard to explain in words; it's more of a feeling.
But there are still many imperfect and incomplete things in it, just like the Enlightenment Tree. If you look closely, you will find that some branches have sparse leaves and no fruits.
"Could it be that, after the so-called 'Tao Fruit' is materialized like this, I will be able to possess it when the fruit on the tree is ripe? If I have so many of them, doesn't that mean..."
Jiang Yuebai paused, feeling both expectant and uncertain.
"Although I am proficient in many things, I can only choose one Dao fruit. However, I really want to see the grand scene of all the fruits on the tree ripening."
At this time, there was another whale cry.
Jiang Yuebai saw a huge monster leaping up from behind a tree, and the pure white ground under his feet began to ripple like waves.
The huge creature leaped into the sky, spread its wings, soared into the sky and disappeared among the pure white clouds.
Kunpeng!
Sweet dew fell from the sky, and the pattering rain fell on the Enlightenment Tree. The branches and leaves trembled and stretched out, becoming more green and pleasing. New buds even sprouted on the dry branches, and all the fruits emitted a breathtaking colorful rainbow light in the rain.
“Water benefits all things…”
Jiang Yuebai murmured thoughtfully. The rain fell on her, and her body was like clouds, being blown away by the rain.
But the rain did not fall to the ground, but turned into the same mist within her body and merged with her.
At the same time, in the Immortal Palace, her body was undergoing the same changes.
The chaotic body and the power of Kunpeng are completing the final fusion. The chaotic body, which was originally like a misty gray fog, is now slowly becoming like water mist, with more characteristics of water and more vitality to nurture all things.
When the last bit of strength in Kunpeng's eyes was completely absorbed by Jiang Yuebai, she suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
It was like a puzzle, only one step away from being completed, but she just couldn't find the last piece.
"Idiot, wake up!"
The voice of Immortal Lord Chongming resounded in his ears, like the sound of Buddhist chants, making Jiang Yuebai sober and calm down instantly.
She opened her eyes, and the chaotic energy around her gathered and transformed back into her original appearance.
Jiang Yuebai raised her hand and looked at herself, clenched her fist and felt it, and she was delighted. She had broken through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul.
"I... How many years have passed?" Jiang Yuebai stood up and asked. Immortal Lord Chongming was right in front of her.
Immortal Chongming still looked exhausted, as if he had not rested for a long time. He said slowly, "It has been thirty-three years since the year you entered the Immortal Palace."
"Ah?! Will the Qingyun meeting start? I won't miss it, right?" Jiang Yuebai asked anxiously, looking around for Lu Nanzhi's trace.
Immortal Chongming said, "Lu Nanzhi left three months ago, and the Qingyun Club is still a few days away from officially starting. I will personally send you to the teleportation array, so you will still make it in time."
If he had not had to wait for Jiang Yuebai to wake up, Immortal Lord Chongming would have already rushed to the Five Stars Realm, the center of the upper realm.
These Mahayana immortal kings reunite every three hundred years.
After a pause, Immortal Lord Chongming said, "Just now you were in the process of advancing from your acquired constitution to your innate constitution, but you have not yet reached the conditions for advancement."
Jiang Yuebai was stunned. It was the first time she heard that an acquired constitution could be advanced into an innate constitution.
The reason why the innate is called innate is because it possesses incomparable power when it is born. All innate things in this world can only be innate when they are born, and all acquired things cannot surpass the innate.
Just like her Zhulong Spear, being able to become an acquired spiritual treasure is the end of the world for this treasure.
Immortal Chongming explained, "According to common sense, it is indeed impossible, but there are several precedents in the world of cultivation, and the reasons and rules are unfathomable. I have only seen such descriptions in ancient books, and today is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."
Speaking of this, Immortal Lord Chongming was also shocked, because there was indeed a trace of the aura of innate physique on Jiang Yuebai's body, so he could be sure that Jiang Yuebai was advancing from the acquired chaotic body to the innate chaotic body.
However, compared with the innate chaotic holy body recorded in the records, the innate aura on Jiang Yuebai's body just now was different, and it felt like Kunpeng.
If it weren't for the fact that Immortal Lord Chongming was already a Seven Tribulations Immortal Lord and not far from ascending to heaven, and if he himself had not had very few desires and was open-minded and tolerant, after weighing the pros and cons, he would not have been tempted by the aura on Jiang Yuebai.
Immortal Lord Chongming raised his hand and flicked his fingers, flicking a drop of water on Jiang Yuebai's brow. Jiang Yuebai's whole body shook, and she felt a cool breath enveloping her whole body, making her feel comfortable all over.
She didn't feel any changes, but for the powerful cultivators above the Void Refinement Stage, the innate aura on Jiang Yuebai's body had been replaced by the aura of Immortal Lord Chongming.
In this way, if someone examines her body, they will only think that she is a disciple of Chongming Immortal Lord, practicing Chongming Immortal Lord's skills, and will not find any other abnormalities.
"Because of you, I have hope of completing my Dao Fruit, which is several hundred years earlier than I expected. At least, I am confident that I can overcome the eighth immortal tribulation. I will help you conceal your physical condition as a token of my gratitude."
Immortal Lord Chongming was also helpless about this. He actually didn't want it to happen so quickly, but what else could he do
"Also, although you have gained a lot this time, it also greatly increases the risk of your future transformation into a spirit. No one can help you in this regard. The lightning of transformation into a spirit is also your only chance to advance to your innate constitution. If you succeed, you will no longer have any bottlenecks in your practice. You only need to polish your state of mind."
Immortal Chongming flipped his hand and took out an object and handed it to Jiang Yuebai, "Your path is different from mine, and I can't teach you much. Compared to you, Lu Nanzhi is more suitable for my inheritance. This object should have been yours. I wish you a successful start in this Qingyun meeting."
Jiang Yuebai opened her eyes wide. What Immortal Lord Chongming gave her was the acquired magical treasure that was in Wen Su's hand back then.
