"And you are the first person I've seen with this aura! The Great Dao is impartial, wielding the power of judgment! Since you have been chosen, it is destiny."
Hearing this, Jin Bao'er's heart stirred! It was as if long-standing confusion was suddenly resolved, and her thoughts became clear!
The words "The Great Dao is impartial, wielding the power of judgment!" echoed in her mind.
So, was the faint pink power she possessed actually the breath of the Great Dao? And was she the one chosen by the Great Dao?!
As her thoughts churned, a strange sensation surged through her. Her dantian seemed to have been stimulated, and all her powers began to spin wildly...
Her expression suddenly changed. Was this... enlightenment?
"Farewell, Buddha Son, and don't send me off!"
With that, she turned and flew towards the back mountain, not daring to waste this rare opportunity for enlightenment of the Great Dao's power!
Seeing her unusual expression, the Buddha Son was about to speak, but his body suddenly stiffened. He watched the receding figure, feeling the intense fluctuation of the Great Dao's aura...
So be it! Some people are simply born with heaven's favor. Enlightenment of the Great Dao's aura comes whenever it pleases! He had lived for tens of thousands of years and never experienced it. Jin Bao'er, after just two sentences of his explanation on the truth of the Great Dao, had directly achieved enlightenment!
A sigh escaped him. He turned and instructed the figures not far away not to disturb Jin Bao'er, then turned to leave.
And this enlightenment, Jin Bao'er spent a full three years in seclusion!
At this time, Long Li Xing was still in the immortal mansion absorbing power, showing no signs of waking.
Time passed, and three years vanished in the blink of an eye...
One day at noon, the sky suddenly filled with myriad auspicious rays of light! Golden-red radiance enveloped more than half of the upper realm. The might of the Heavenly Dao was so oppressive that even from thousands of miles away, one could feel suffocated!
In an instant, all cultivators who were cultivating or in seclusion looked up at the sky!
Over the past three years, much had happened in the upper realm...
For example, the sect leader of Luoxian Sect lost an entire disciple from the Seventh Gate and, in his rage, offered a hefty reward for Jin Bao'er's life!
For example, Gong Jue, the young master of the Gong Jue family, had reached the peak of the seventh stage of the Heavenly Dao Saint realm, just one step away from becoming a Heavenly Dao King, becoming a genius coveted by all!
For example, a young boy suddenly appeared in the upper realm, his mastery of talismans so profound that he defeated a Void Breaking realm expert with only the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage!
And then, the once-rare talisman masters, artifact refiners, formation masters, and alchemy masters, who were nearly extinct in the upper realm, suddenly became numerous, opening up another path for cultivators with poor innate talent.
...
And even more so, there was news about Jin Bao'er, the number one on the Divine Power Ranking, a Heavenly Dao Saint realm sixth-stage expert who was only around forty years old! Various false rumors circulated...
At this moment, in the geologically isolated earth vein that cut off all probing, Jin Bao'er slowly opened her eyes!
The ten thousand zhang golden-red auspicious light in the sky seemed to sense something and began to condense! The Heavenly Dao finally panicked, as if discovering someone attempting to defy its authority. It let out furious roars that echoed throughout the upper realm!
White beams of light were interspersed within the golden-red clouds, piercing through the clouds from the sky and shooting straight down to the ground. The faintly emanating Great Dao power seemed to be surveying something on the ground.
Instantly, everyone noticed the anomaly in the sky above the small Artifact Refining Sect! All of them suddenly changed their expressions. Someone was advancing!
And it was the Great Dao tribulation!!
Setting aside other thoughts, besides the Great Dao itself, what else could possess such power to suppress the aura of the Heavenly Dao!
But... what kind of person was it? To have the Great Dao personally descend a lightning tribulation?
At this moment, let alone what people outside were thinking, the Seven Great Families were going mad!
That was the tribulation of the Great Dao's lightning! In the entire upper realm, hardly anyone had reached that domain in nearly ten thousand years. Of course! Except for that madman of the Dragon clan who had lived for an unknown number of tens of thousands of years!
In an instant, everyone moved! The Seven Great Families raced desperately, approaching the place where the Great Dao's power descended as quickly as possible.
The Gong Jue family, being the closest, rushed to the scene first! The other families followed closely behind! Some ordinary cultivators were also extremely shocked and curious, as such a spectacle might only be witnessed once in a lifetime!
Countless cultivators gathered at the Artifact Refining Sect...
A young boy holding a yellow talisman, on his way home, noticed the celestial anomaly and exclaimed with delight! "Senior! My immortal fairy master must be coming out of seclusion!" he said excitedly.
There was no one else around him. A hoarse, aged, and majestic voice echoed at this moment, filled with complex shock...
"This aura... it should be her! I didn't expect that after only three years, she would have completed her enlightenment? It's truly unbelievable."
The young boy sped up his flight, excitedly taking out teleportation talismans! His figure flickered repeatedly. Hearing the voice, he smiled proudly and with pride.
"Of course! My immortal fairy master is the most powerful person in this world!"
On the other side, Jin Bao'er slowly rose. She felt a kind call from the depths of her being. A smile flickered in her eyes, and she stepped forward, one step at a time...
As she walked, she herself didn't notice how light she had become, how ethereal her steps were!
In just two seconds, she had walked out of the earth vein, when it had taken her a full fifteen minutes to enter the first time!
At this moment, she had no time to think further. Her gaze fell upon the myriad auspicious rays of light in the sky, especially the pure white light emanating from within, which felt extremely comfortable and gentle to her.
This power was familiar yet strange, as if they had once been intimate, yet as if they had never met!
The next second, the white light seemed to have finally found the right person. The golden-red auspicious light was gradually dispelled. The white light shone brightly and descended directly to the earth, instantly enveloping the white-robed woman on the grassland...
Jin Bao'er remained still, her gaze calm! Faint pink power overflowed from her body, complementing the white light and enfolding her entirely, like a mother embracing her child, kind and loving.
At this moment, most of the cultivators from the Gong Jue family and some rogue cultivators had arrived. They had long known about the formation above the Artifact Refining Sect, so they did not forcefully break through. Instead, they stopped on a certain mountain peak, their eyes fixed on the beam of light...
Excited shouts arose. Everyone watched this scene with wide eyes, some even taking out recording stones to capture it!
"What's going on? Is that the power of the Great Dao?"
"Is there someone inside? I think I saw a figure!"
"Nonsense! It must be some hidden senior who has been cultivating here, and today they suddenly achieved enlightenment of the Great Dao and are about to break through the barrier of the upper realm!"
"Breaking through the barrier of the upper realm? Could it be... going to that world??"
"How many years has it been!! I'm so lucky to witness this today! I can die without regret!!"
"..."
Exclamations and gasps occasionally erupted from the crowd! Everyone watched this scene intently.
Only one person remained silent throughout, their expression exceedingly complex, a myriad of emotions flashing in their eyes.
How could Gong Jue Mi Yin not be complex?
