Chapter 2075: Chapter 2342: The Eerie Stone! (Third Update)
Meanwhile, atop a mountain saturated with intense Spiritual Energy.
A blue lotus flower floated above the mountain peak.
The lotus’s gentle rotation gathered a strand of formidable energy in the sky.
And this spiritual energy-rich mountain housed thousands of terrifyingly powerful disciples!
Their faces brimmed with pride!
Only because they were disciples of the Double Lotus Sect!
Ancient inheritance, the double lotus reigns supreme!
At this moment, a beautifully dressed woman of stunning beauty stepped onto the red carpet.
On the red carpet, was the Blue Lotus Throne of the Double Lotus Sect!
The woman wore a long blue lotus brocade robe, dragging along the ground, with matching spirit boots on her feet, her hair in a bun adorned with a blue lotus jade hairpin, resembling a drifting cloud.
The bright lights outlined her exquisite face, emitting a soft glow, her brown eyes shimmering with a light that kept people at a distance, yet hiding imperceptible sorrow, deeply veiled by indifference.
Her gait swayed gracefully, like a lotus blooming in winter, proud and cold.
A blue lotus on her bun further highlighted her skin like congealed fat.
Two blue lotus earrings hung beside her cheeks, dazzling and revealing a touch of elegance.
The woman was strikingly beautiful and captured everyone’s attention.
If Ren Feifan were here, he would certainly gape in surprise.
Because this breathtaking girl was Xu Shihan, whom he had been searching for tirelessly!
Xu Shihan arrived at the Blue Lotus Throne, gently waved her robe, and instantly took her seat.
The next second, thousands from the Double Lotus Sect kneeled in unison, accompanied by a thunderous voice:
“Queen Qinglian! Ruling the world, authority spreads far and wide; youthful forever, neither dying nor extinguishing.”
“Queen Qinglian! Ruling the world, authority spreads far and wide; youthful forever, neither dying nor extinguishing.”
…
“Rise.” Xu Shihan’s voice was icy, and she waved a large hand.
The multitude flowed forth, standing upright.
Everyone looked at the woman, their eyes full of respect and submission.
“Do you have news of the person I asked you to find?” Xu Shihan said.
She had no desire to be Queen Qinglian; if not for Ren Feifan, she wouldn’t have chosen this path.
Soon, an elder in a green robe stepped forward, cupped his hands, and just as he was about to speak of the events in North Palace of North State, a phantom appeared, and its cold gaze shot at him. He flinched, immediately changing his words: “Reporting to the Queen, we still have no news of Ren Feifan’s whereabouts. We are continuing to send people to search.”
Xu Shihan’s eyes showed a trace of disappointment, she waved her hand: “Withdraw, what is the current situation of the Hidden Gate, how long until our plan?”
“Reporting to the Queen, seventy-two days remain.”
“Good. Everyone continue cultivating.”
…
A day’s time passed in the blink of an eye.
Ren Feifan’s drop of essence blood had reached its zenith.
He exhaled a turbid breath slowly, and moments ago, a disciple from the Cloudwater Sect informed him, Enlightenment Day was imminent.
He looked at Long Nü and the Corroding Sky Striped Tiger, among others: “In a moment, we’ll first go to the Enlightenment Stone. Generally, enlightenment lasts a whole day. Six hours after enlightenment begins, everyone will completely enter a state of insight, and that’s when we’ll have our chance.
At that time, everyone should find a way to gather on the mountain south of the Enlightenment Stone.”
Having given these instructions, Ren Feifan then said to Long Nü: “You should escort Bai Muya outside to meet Sima Qian first. She doesn’t belong to the Cloudwater Sect’s disciples and is not eligible for enlightenment. Even if those from the Poisonous Shuriken Gate are watching the Cloudwater Sect, they wouldn’t think Bai Muya has already left.”
“Understood, Brother Feifan.”
Half an hour later.
A group was taken to another forbidden land of the Cloudwater Sect.
Upon entering, Ren Feifan was stunned; the outer area was densely packed with people!
Hundreds of circles, both inside and out!
In the center was a black, ancient-looking stone.
Ren Feifan could clearly feel the mysterious power contained within the stone.
As he stepped onto the square, he could feel ripples emanating from beneath his feet.
The formation’s restriction was incredibly strong.
Ren Feifan had already spotted Zhan Tianya, who was observing him from beneath the Enlightenment Stone.
Without hesitation, he walked over.
The closer he got, the more terrifyingly potent the restriction’s power became.
He tilted his head upwards, gazing at the Enlightenment Stone that seemed to pierce the sky, feeling a sense of awe inside.
It seems that the Cloudwater Sect’s endurance in the Hidden Gate over so many years might be related to this stone.
He was about to greet Zhan Tianya when he sensed a tremor from the Little Sapling in his mysterious space, urgent.
Ren Feifan, of course, knew the Little Sapling’s antics!
Such a reaction inevitably meant it intended to absorb Spiritual Energy.
Hell, the only thing absorbable at present is this Enlightenment Stone!
Under normal circumstances, Ren Feifan might have agreed to the Little Sapling, but currently, he couldn’t act recklessly!
If he absorbed the energy within the Enlightenment Stone in full view, that would be akin to courting death!
With so many people potentially attacking him, no matter how many trump cards Ren Feifan held, they wouldn’t be of any use.
Ren Feifan forcibly calmed the Little Sapling, but it paid no heed, wildly shaking within the mysterious space.
Making Ren Feifan dizzy and disoriented.
“Didn’t you sleep well yesterday?” Zhan Tianya asked curiously.
Ren Feifan smiled: “Thank you, Sect Master, for your concern. I had some insomnia last night.”
Zhan Tianya suddenly thought of something and laughed heartily: “Young men should be moderate, but with Princess Bai’s beauty, any ordinary man would indeed find it hard to resist.”
Ren Feifan didn’t intend to explain this misunderstanding.
Before long, an ancient bell sound echoed!
The next second, Ren Feifan felt the entire ground trembling, and astonishingly, the Enlightenment Stone in front of him quivered!
“Enlightenment Day, Cloudwater Sect’s disciples, are you ready?” An ancient voice resonated from within the stone.
Ren Feifan froze; there was a powerful will inside the stone controlling it!
What is the origin of this Cloudwater Sect?
Ren Feifan could even distinctly feel a pair of eyes atop the stone staring at him, making him feel exposed!
“We are ready!” A roar echoed!
The next second, everyone sat cross-legged, eyes firmly fixed on the entirely black Enlightenment Stone.
Ren Feifan naturally followed suit, and soon, he noticed lines of text appearing on the Enlightenment Stone!
The entirety of the text occupied the entire stone!
At the same time, he could distinctly feel his bloodline surging, with the Devouring Heaven Art silently operating!
Is this the effect of the Devouring Heaven Art?
As Ren Feifan was in wonderment, nearby elders exclaimed.
“I can see three lines of text on the Enlightenment Stone this time!”
“I’ve also made significant progress compared to last time, this time it’s four lines.”
Voices came one after another, but none could see as clearly as Ren Feifan, who saw all twenty-eight lines!
What on earth is this!
As Ren Feifan pondered, Zhan Tianya beside him curiously asked, “Ren Feifan, how many lines of text did you see?”
