Chapter 486 Late Mahayana Stage

"Oh, I felt like the next Dragon Gate would descend at any moment, and I sensed the most abundant spiritual energy here, so I came here. Who knew that after ten days here, there's no sign of a breakthrough at all. Immortal, no... Senior Qilin! Can you give me some guidance?!"

The little dragon talked incessantly for a long time, showing no signs of fatigue. The Qilin, listening quietly beside him, felt somewhat frustrated. However, remembering their connection, the Qilin patiently listened to the end.

Finally, Qilin glanced meaningfully at the golden horns on the dragon's head and said slowly, "It's not time yet. Please wait a little longer."

After saying this, Qilin waved his hand, signaling the little dragon to come closer. The little dragon was very well-behaved and quickly submerged in the water. When it swam to the shore, it carefully poked its head out, its watery eyes full of anticipation looking at the little boy in front of it.

Then, the little boy slowly closed his eyes, and a green mist flashed again. In the blink of an eye, his original form—the majestic Qilin—reappeared.

This time, the Qilin no longer exuded boundless majesty, but instead exuded an inexplicable sense of intimacy. It extended its broad, tiger-like front paws and slowly placed them on the dragon's head.

In an instant, the originally calm surface of the spring began to ripple. At the bottom of the spring, a small vortex suddenly appeared, with spiritual energy surging within it.

"If you want to find the water snake, go ahead. But if you don't want to go, tomorrow morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines directly on the spring, you will encounter a chance here." Qilin said.

After saying this, Qilin slowly retracted his claws. Looking at the still confused Jiaolong, who seemed about to ask questions, Qilin added, "Don't ask, and don't overthink it. I'm leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a green mist flashed by, and the figure of Qilin disappeared from the spring in an instant, leaving only the dragon staring blankly at the spring at the bottom of the water, lost in deep thought.

After a short while, another cry of surprise was heard from the forest: "Oh my god - the big... big boss touched my dragon horn, am I about to break through! Hehehe, hehehe..."

. . . . . . .

Today marks the eleventh day since the mushroom cloud first appeared. The magical rain brought by the mushroom cloud has been falling for ten days and ten nights, only to quietly cease this morning.

In the mountains and forests, the vegetation nourished by the spiritual rain has become more lush, and each leaf is like a carefully polished emerald, sparkling with a warm luster.

On the ground, the thick layer of fallen leaves has absorbed rainwater, becoming soft and elastic. Perhaps if you step on it, you can feel the breath of the earth.

The air is filled with a fresh scent mixed with soil and grass, which penetrates into the nostrils and makes people feel refreshed.

The birds were jumping and singing happily on the branches, as if they were cheering for the end of the spiritual rain, or celebrating the unknown changes that were about to come.

High in the sky, the golden sun, unique to the Ninth Heaven, is slowly rising, emitting a brilliant and warm light.

When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the layers of clouds and shone into the quiet mountain forest, the earth suddenly shook violently!

It is often said that animals are most sensitive to abnormal changes in the world. However, this situation is quite strange -

The spiritual beasts in the mountains and forests did not panic and flee in all directions as usual when they sensed the unusual movement. On the contrary, they seemed to be summoned by some mysterious power and gathered towards the gurgling spring.

In their perception, the spring water seemed to contain purer and richer spiritual energy, and it seemed like a treasure trove of spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, the mysterious palace, hidden deep within the forest, had somehow escaped the constraints of time and space. Now, it was quietly returning to its place, like a long-sleeping giant, slowly awakening and returning to the world that originally belonged to it.

As time passed, sunlight continued to penetrate the shadows between the trees, gradually falling on a corner of the palace. In an instant, a magnificent golden light, like a surging tide, burst out from the palace.

The golden light was so dazzling and brilliant that it seemed to outshine even the sunlight! For a moment, the entire forest was enveloped by the golden light, as if covered in a layer of golden gauze.

At the same time, in the palace.

Qi Mo sat upright on the futon, his aura surging and surging. He had just completed the fusion of his internal power. Finally, as the last bit of power returned, the dazzling golden light that enveloped him slowly receded like a tide.

At the same time, Qi Mo slowly opened his eyes, and in an instant, it seemed as if a vast and boundless galaxy was flowing in his eyes, shining brightly and emitting an enchanting light.

Taoist Xuan Xiao had been standing by, taking it all in. A barely perceptible flash of surprise flashed across his eyes, but in an instant, it transformed into a gratified smile. He nodded with satisfaction and said,

"Although... you successfully broke through to the late Mahayana stage of the intermediate realm with one powerful effort, your strength has already made a qualitative leap. However, the principles of fusion that you have comprehended are truly too profound. Given your current situation, breaking through to the Supreme Realm will still be extremely difficult."

Upon hearing this, Qi Mo slowly stood up, his posture as straight as a pine tree. With a respectful expression, he bowed deeply to Taoist Xuan Xiao and said sincerely, "Thank you very much for your careful guidance during this period."

After a pause, he frowned slightly and continued thoughtfully, "Although I could clearly sense the existence of the Tao just now, I couldn't use it freely. Now, after listening to what you said, I finally understand the reason."

At this moment, Taoist Xuanxiao, who was sitting on the high platform, also stood up. He raised his hands, palms facing upward, and wisps of red spiritual energy emanated from his fingertips, swaying gently in the air.

His eyes became deep and focused, and every step he took was steady and powerful. Where his feet landed, ancient runes appeared faintly on the ground, flashing with a faint light.

Every time Taoist Xuanxiao took a step forward, his hands would quickly form seals like phantoms, and ancient and mysterious runes would flow at his fingertips.

When he reached within a meter of Qi Mo, the ancient seal in his hand was perfectly formed. The seal emanated a profound light, as if condensing the vicissitudes and wisdom of the ages. An ancient and powerful aura permeated the air, enveloping the two of them.

In just a moment, the entire forest seemed to be controlled by Taoist Xuanxiao. The rich spiritual energy in the forest was like a surging tide, suddenly pouring into the young man's forehead.

Qi Mo only felt a tremendous force exploding above his head, and the meridians in his body seemed to be impacted by a surging torrent, and his body trembled slightly.

"Do you know what this mountain is called?" Taoist Xuanxiao's voice sounded slowly, as if coming from the distant sky. At the same time, he quietly used the rhythm of Taoism to begin tempering Qi Mo's consciousness.
