Chapter 741 – Lotus Root Incarnation
Chapter 741 – Lotus Root Incarnation
Xu Chuniang realized that she had met the test of the sea of learning.
If you want to successfully cross the Sea of Learning and reach the other shore, besides resisting the ever-present repulsive force, you have to be affirmed by the Sea of Learning.
She relaxed and allowed herself to be pulled by that force, sinking deeper into the ocean floor.
A voice of ancient will resounded in Xu Chuniang’s mind.
“Why aren’t you shocked or afraid?”
“Because I know that only by gaining the recognition of the Sea of Learning can I truly reach the other shore.”
“Not bad.”
Ancient Will slowly spoke, “Since it is the Sea of Learning, naturally, only those who are learned are qualified to cross the sea. You came to cross the sea, but do you think, you have enough learning?”
“Nonetheless.”
Xu Chuniang pondered for a moment and shook her head slightly, “Although I have read a lot of books, I don’t dare to say that I have very profound knowledge.”
“In that case, you are actually a person of shallow knowledge?”
The ancient will’s tone was slightly dissatisfied, and the surrounding seawater also seemed to sense its emotions and became shaken.
Affected by the vibrations of the seawater, Xu Chuniang’s body, once again, sank downwards.
Xu Chuniang’s tone remained indifferent, seemingly unaffected by her surroundings.
“Nonetheless, although I don’t feel that I have profound knowledge, I’m not a person with shallow knowledge either.”
As soon as the words fell, the commotion caused by the seawater around her calmed down a bit, and the speed of her body’s descent slowed down.
Ancient will coldly snorted, “That said, but you are not a person with profound knowledge, you can’t cross this sea of learning, please go back.”
“Then I would like to ask, what is learned?”
The ancient will rightfully said, “The so-called knowledgeable, naturally is the past and future, astronomy and geography, omniscient.”
“With the cultivation of the Transformation God Stage, one is considered to have cultivated into the saints, and can know the fate of mortals, determine this life and the next, but cannot dominate their own destiny, is this what is meant by being knowledgeable?”
The ancient will replied indifferently, “No. Even if one cannot control one’s own destiny, even if one knows more knowledge, what is the use?”
Xu Chuniang continued to ask, “Having a Mahayana cultivation, knowing the changes in the Laws, knowing the past and future of the world’s events, similar to a True Immortal, is this what is meant by being knowledgeable?”
“No. Although a Mahayana cultivator, he is close to being an immortal, but not an immortal, unable to transcend the five elements and three realms, and will eventually be limited by his longevity.”
Xu Chuniang asked again, “What about the True Immortals who know the changes of yin and yang and transcend the three realms and five elements, are they considered truly knowledgeable?”
Ancient Will pondered for a moment, and then said.
“Immortal, there are also the limitations of the immortal, know more, but the more feel their own small, even they can not be counted as truly knowledgeable.”
Xu Chuniang leisurely said, “Since even the real immortals, do not dare to call themselves knowledgeable, based on some of the books I’ve read, know a little bit of the law of the minutiae, how can I dare to assert that knowledgeable?”
Ancient Will slowly voiced out, “What you said also has some truth, but the rules of the sea of learning are just like this, the sea of learning has no boundaries, without profound knowledge, how can one cross it peacefully?”
“The sea of learning is endless, one can use diligence as a boat. Heaven’s way rewards diligence, as long as there is a heart toward learning and the Tao, and diligently cultivate on this path, why worry about not arriving at the other shore?”
As Xu Chuniang’s words fell, the seawater around her quietly receded.
Her feet, stepping back onto solid ground.
“Well said, when you step onto the path to the other shore, you arrive on the other shore.”
The Ancient Will left its last words and dissipated into nothingness. Xu Chuniang breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was considered to have been recognized by the Will of the Sea of Learning.
As she looked around, a look of surprise appeared on her face after she saw a spiritual eye in the Sea of Learning behind her.
This spiritual eye was the eye of the Sea of Learning’s aura, gathering the essence of the aura from the entire Sea of Learning, and was the place where the aura was the most pure and dense.
“This is the place.”
Xu Chuniang walked towards the spiritual eye, took out the lotus root of the Nine Quarters Golden Lotus, and placed it above the spiritual eye.
Under the aura, the luster on the lotus root grew warmer and glittered.
“Tsk, tsk, such pure spiritual energy, it’s such a shame not to use it for cultivation.”
Skywatcher’s tone was disgusted, “What’s the use of having to refine some broken incarnation? Break through the Conformity Stage early, and Grandpa Hao Hao I can get free one day sooner.”
Xu Chuniang was silent, separating out a strand of her essence blood and qi, striking into the lotus root.
Miraculous things appeared, after the lotus root absorbed the blood and vitality, the color gradually turned from gold to brown, the first hint of human form, with limbs and five senses.
Xu Chuniang pointed towards the lotus root man, and a divine soul flew out from her fingertip and fell into the lotus root man’s mouth.
With the help of this soul, the lotus root man instantly “came alive”, his limbs continued to grow, and his features also became clear from blurred, transforming into the same eyebrows as Xu Chuniang.
In the end, no matter whether it was the size or the features, even the hair, the lotus root person was the same as her, as if it was printed from the same mold.
Xu Chuniang looked at the Lotus Root Man, and her heart felt a marvelous sensation.
The lotus-root person also looked at her with a smile, and their hearts were linked.
This feeling was new, she was both her and the Lotus Root Man at the same time.
Skygazer disdainfully bristled, ”Is this the different incarnation you were talking about? There’s nothing special to look at, it’s only at the first level of Qi Practicing, tsk!”
Without a word, Xu Chuniang took a step towards the Spiritual Eye, and was on top of it with the Lotus-root Man.
Immediately, she and the little lotus root incarnation sat down on their knees in unison, operating the Taixu Easy Heart Sutra, exhaling and absorbing the spiritual qi that surged out from the spiritual eye.
The spiritual qi in the spiritual eye was amazing, and almost in the space of a breath, the Lotus Root Man’s cultivation level rose, breaking through the Foundation Establishment realm.
After only three days after the Foundation Establishment, the Lotus Root Incarnation once again broke through the realm, after breaking through to the Jindan Stage, its cultivation was still growing at an astonishing rate.
The cultivation of an avatar was already simpler than the real body, and there was no bottleneck in the cultivation of an avatar, as long as there was enough spiritual qi, it could increase its cultivation, which was why, the lotus root avatar was able to break through the realm so quickly.
Xu Chuniang swept her eyes at the lotus root avatar and saw that everything was as usual, so she paid no further attention to it and continued to absorb the spiritual qi.
As time passed, the lotus root incarnation’s cultivation grew higher and higher, breaking through the three major realms of YuanYing, Transformation of God, and Refining Void, and having the cultivation of an early stage of Refining Void.
And Xu Chuniang had absorbed a large amount of spiritual qi from the Spirit Eyes, her cultivation level rising to the middle stage of Void Refining.
“If it weren’t for this incarnation of yours sharing away half of the spiritual qi, this wang spirit eye could have allowed you to cultivate to the late stage of Refining Void.”
Skywatcher’s tone was not without regret, still grumbling about the part of the spiritual qi that was snatched away by the incarnation.
Xu Chuniang remained silent, pulling the divine souls between heaven and earth that had been refined into nothingness, wrapping them towards the lotus root incarnation.
The lotus root incarnation was first shaken, and then became seemingly non-existent under the assimilation of the divine soul.
In the end, the lotus root incarnation at the early stage of Void Refinement completely disappeared.
