Tian Yuan

As the emperors were shocked, Chen Qingyuan's true consciousness was undergoing a change.

In this pitch-black, endless abyss, he lost himself, like an innate intelligence born at the beginning of chaos, his consciousness blank, filled with curiosity about everything in the world.

His attention was now completely focused on the red lotus in front of him.

The red lotus is like a painting, exceptionally eye-catching.

Each lotus leaf has flowing, mysterious patterns, indicating that it is already in bloom.

He watched intently, waiting patiently.

While he waited, the Myriad Dao Source Point descended a rule, attempting to return him to his origin and allow him to comprehend it anew. Fortunately, the Returning Void Cauldron guarded the way, giving Chen Qingyuan ample time to ponder.

Of course, even without the Guixu Cauldron, there is the Taiwei Emperor guarding it.

Squeak! Buzz!

After an unknown amount of time, the outermost lotus leaf slowly unfurled and gently opened. Then, the second lotus leaf also unfolded.

The red lotus blooms, exuding a touch of allure.

When the lotus fully revealed its beauty, Chen Qingyuan's heart trembled slightly.

He gazed at the red lotus, and the thought of reaching out to touch it arose again. But he knew he couldn't, so he withdrew his outstretched hand.

After a long while, the scene before Chen Qingyuan changed again.

A figure appeared on the dreamlike red lotus.

The figure was blurry, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over him, but Chen Qingyuan couldn't find the reason.

The figure gradually became clearer, and the sense of familiarity grew stronger.

At a certain point, the figure stopped changing and remained in a hazy, picturesque state.

This situation is like a person standing in a place shrouded in mist, whose view is obstructed and cannot be seen clearly by those outside.

"I should know him."

After watching for a while, this thought emerged deep in Chen Qingyuan's mind, unspeakable, only to be pondered.

The red lotus has changed, and a figure stands tall.

At this point in the situation, Chen Qingyuan was getting closer and closer to waking up.

He is searching for his true self, and he is making significant progress.

For him, the most difficult part was not the journey that followed, but creating something from nothing.

Although Chen Qingyuan wasn't entirely sure who he was, he at least knew his name. By continuing to ponder this path, he would surely break free from his constraints and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Chen Qingyuan's gaze remained fixed on the figure of Honglian, never wavering for a moment, thinking to himself, "I should leave here and find her."

Although his vision was blurry, Chen Qingyuan was certain that the figure in front of him was a woman who was very important to him.

Upon arriving in this special space, Chen Qingyuan felt for the first time the urge to leave.

As a result, his original consciousness underwent a subtle change, no longer illusory and detached, but gradually becoming substantial.

A voice from the deepest part of his consciousness told him not to stay where he was and to move forward.

Without hesitation, he moved forward.

Then he stretched out his right hand and went towards the red lotus.

To be precise, it was the figure standing on the red lotus.

Whoosh! Swish!

Chen Qingyuan reached out, but failed to grasp the figure that had stirred his emotions so strongly. Instead, he tore open the dark curtain and saw the light.

In the real world, Chen Qingyuan's body trembled slightly. The movement was so subtle that only a powerful person constantly watching him could detect it.

Emperor Taiwei and some other emperors noticed that Chen Qingyuan's Dao body was no longer stiff as wood. They focused their minds, their eyes narrowed, and they unleashed a sharp glint that was imperceptible to others.

After about ten breaths, Chen Qingyuan's eyes regained some color, no longer appearing as dazed and empty as before.

His fingers twitched, and his eyelids twitched slightly.

Although the others weren't focused on Chen Qingyuan, they couldn't help but notice such an obvious situation and cast surprised glances at him.

Break free from confinement, and let consciousness return to the body!

The first thing I did after waking up was to reach out and touch nothing.

He had intended to reach for the red lotus, searching for the trace of that beautiful red figure. His desire to leave the special space was so strong that he broke free from the illusory space of the Myriad Paths Source Point.

Chen Qingyuan woke up, but his eyes were no longer calm and undisturbed; they were filled with confusion.

Although his consciousness was no longer imprisoned, his memories had not yet been restored.

At this moment, he was like a blank sheet of paper.

Upon closer inspection, a red dot can be found on the paper.

Emperor Taiwei was the first to notice that Chen Qingyuan's condition was not quite right; he remained expressionless, deep in thought and silent. He decided not to interfere for the time being and simply observed quietly.

As long as Chen Qingyuan's path to enlightenment is not catastrophically disrupted, the Taiwei Emperor will not interfere. After all, whether this path is successful depends on Chen Qingyuan himself; excessive assistance from others will only backfire.

He woke up, filled with curiosity and confusion about everything around him.

There are people, lotus flowers, ancient trees, and various strange sights that appear from time to time.

Chen Qingyuan looked like a child who had just started to remember things, his face showing a childlike innocence that didn't match his temperament.

Everyone present was a top-tier individual, and they noticed Chen Qingyuan's unusual behavior at a glance.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Could it be that he failed to achieve enlightenment and his mind was damaged?"

"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly, let's wait and see."

"Proving one's way of the world and proving oneself is utterly absurd. Even if one fails, it is perfectly reasonable."

The emperors kept glancing at Chen Qingyuan and whispering among themselves.

Some people hope that Chen Qingyuan will stop here, while others feel a little sorry.

"Big brother!"

When Lu Hansheng saw Chen Qingyuan make a move, he was overjoyed. However, when Chen Qingyuan acted almost stupidly, the joy on his face vanished instantly, replaced by burning anxiety, and he moved like lightning.

Whoosh!

In a flash, Lu Hansheng rushed to Chen Qingyuan's side. He gripped the folding fan tightly in his hand, and the worry in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Observing Chen Qingyuan up close, Lu Hansheng realized that his boss's mental state was seriously problematic. His eyes had changed drastically, and he was full of curiosity about everything, which was completely unlike the demeanor that a peerless genius should have.

Suddenly, a person appeared in front of him. Chen Qingyuan stopped looking at the surrounding scenery and instead stared into Lu Hansheng's eyes.

"Brother, do you...do you still recognize me?"

In that one glance that met Chen Qingyuan's eyes, Lu Hansheng already knew the answer. However, he still clung to a sliver of hope that perhaps his boss was deliberately putting on an act to tease others.

Deep within his consciousness remained the most basic ability to communicate. Chen Qingyuan understood what the person in front of him was saying and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

Finished!

Upon hearing this, Lu Hansheng was greatly shocked and realized that something was wrong.

Faced with this scene, he was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Ye Liujun, Rong Che, and the others, who were in the distance, took in this scene and their expressions changed; they were all greatly shocked.
