Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

Chapter 384 Entering Enlightenment

With Wu Jiuli's disappearance, only Chu Yunfan, Nalan Xue, and Tu Shanyu remained in the valley.

Of course, to be precise, there is another person.

This person is Shangguan Wan, who has been missing for a long time.

It turns out that long before Jin Pengyu unleashed the second spatial strangulation, the mid-grade spatial artifact bead that Chu Yunfan had previously obtained had already completely submitted to Chu Yunfan and recognized him as its master under the coercion and enticement of the spirit of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

It was at this moment that Chu Yunfan learned that this bead was called the Sky-Stabilizing Bead.

It is named the Space-Stabilizing Bead because, in addition to containing powerful spatial rules, this bead also has a powerful function: stabilizing space.

Therefore, when Jin Pengyu used the spatial strangulation technique for the second time, Chu Yunfan used the function of the space-fixing bead to protect himself firmly.

Subsequently, Chu Yunfan discovered that Shangguan Wan was also unable to withstand the power of the spatial strangulation.

Therefore, Chu Yunfan used the Sky-Stabilizing Pearl to protect Shangguan Wan at the same time.

Just then, the spirit of the Eastern Emperor Bell told Chu Yunfan that the storage space inside the Eastern Emperor Bell could not only store inanimate objects, but also allow living people to enter.

So, Chu Yunfan took the opportunity to hide Shangguan Wan in the storage space of the Eastern Emperor Bell, allowing her to quietly heal and recover.

At this point, the victory was already secured, so Chu Yunfan naturally summoned Shangguan Wan from inside the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Then, the group came together to the Enlightenment Lotus.

Nalan Xue spoke first, her tone sounding somewhat solemn.

"The aura of the array in this lake feels no less powerful than that of a Martial Saint!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfan's eyes flickered slightly, and then starlight gathered in his hand as he placed a palm on the lake surface.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura erupted from the lake.

Mysterious runes flickered, and light illuminated the valley.

The moment the rune appeared, Chu Yunfan's soul power probed into it.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfan's expression began to change.

"It's not just the Martial Saint realm."

The power of this formation far surpasses that of an ordinary Martial Saint!

As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Wan's clear and melodious voice rang out.

"This protective formation is so powerful, how can we take the Enlightenment Lotus?"

As she spoke, Shangguan Wan glanced at Tu Shanyu beside her.

Seeing the gaze directed at her by Shangguan Wan, Tu Shanyu naturally understood her meaning and immediately replied:

"Although I am skilled in formations."

However, this protective formation is far beyond my capabilities; I simply cannot break it!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Chu Yunfan's voice rang out again.

"Perhaps, the owner of this place never intended for us to take the Enlightenment Lotus from the very beginning!"

When Chu Yunfan said these words, a smile flashed across Shen Xinqiao's face outside the spatial battlefield.

"The younger generation is indeed quite intelligent."

"The Enlightenment Lotus is such a rare and precious treasure, almost impossible to find in the world. How could I allow you to take it away!"

In fact, the formation protecting the Enlightenment Lotus was set up by Shen Xinqiao himself.

Few people know that Shen Xinqiao is not only a powerful Martial Saint at the peak of his realm, but also has superb skills in array formations.

Meanwhile, in the space battlefield, in the valley.

Having tried various methods, Chu Yunfan realized that the Enlightenment Lotus was impossible to take away. He immediately made up his mind and said to Shangguan Wan and the others:

"Since we can't take the Enlightenment Lotus with us, we can only stay here and use it to cultivate."

This is a rare opportunity, don't waste your time!

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfan sat cross-legged first, his body hovering beside the Enlightenment Lotus.

Seeing Chu Yunfan sit down to cultivate, Shangguan Wan and Nalan Xue also sat cross-legged next to the Enlightenment Lotus and began to cultivate using the lotus's abilities.

As for Tu Shanyu, before entering a state of cultivation, he made sure to set up a sensing array and an illusion array to cover the entire valley.

In this way, if someone arrives, she can wake up immediately and prevent being ambushed.

After setting up the formation, Tu Shanyu also sat cross-legged next to the Enlightenment Lotus and began to cultivate in peace.

And so, the valley, which had been fiercely fighting just moments before, instantly fell silent, leaving only Chu Yunfan and his three companions quietly surrounding the Enlightenment Lotus, each cultivating in their own way.

Under the purple-blue light of the Enlightenment Lotus, the four, who were already exceptionally talented, quickly made progress.

On ordinary days, there are some cultivation-related concepts in my mind that are difficult to understand.

At this moment, everything becomes incredibly simple, and everything is instantly understood.

Especially the power of the rules of heaven and earth, which is usually difficult to comprehend and is shrouded in mystery.

But at this moment, in the minds of the four, the power of the rules of heaven and earth actually transformed from something ethereal into various tangible things.

The difficulty of understanding it is reduced significantly.

For example, right now, what appears in Nalan Xue's mind is a drop of water.

Then, the drop of water slowly changed, gradually turning into snow and then into ice.

The process by which this drop of water transforms into ice and snow is a concrete manifestation of the rules governing ice and snow.

Of course, besides Nalan Xue, Tu Shan Yu and Shangguan Wan also had similar gains at this moment.

As for Chu Yunfan, he has the highest comprehension and is currently reaping the greatest benefits under the light of the Enlightenment Lotus.

However, even Chu Yunfan himself did not expect this.

As soon as he calmed down and prepared to begin his cultivation, he entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

The state of sudden enlightenment is an extremely rare state in cultivation.

Simply put, enlightenment is the instantaneous understanding of something that would normally take decades or even centuries to comprehend.

Just like now, the five elemental sword intents of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in Chu Yunfan's mind were growing wildly, instantly upgrading from the state of great-completion sword intent to the state of perfect sword intent.

However, when Chu Yunfan tried to comprehend the perfected Five Elements Sword Intent into a Sword Soul, he encountered tremendous resistance.

"It seems that even with the help of the Enlightenment Lotus, it is still extremely difficult for the Sword Soul to comprehend."

"In that case, why not settle for second best and first comprehend the power of the Five Elements?"

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunfan had made his decision.

After all, a state of sudden enlightenment is rare, and Chu Yunfan didn't know how long it could last, so he dared not waste even a fraction of a moment.

Just as Chu Yunfan was comprehending the power of the Five Elements, he was surprised to discover something.

That is, when his main body entered a state of enlightenment, the Wind Sword Soul, which was in the void at that moment, also entered a state of enlightenment at the same time.

The Wind Sword Soul, who had gained nothing from the spatial storm, suddenly sensed a strange power entering its perception.

And this power is the power of spatial rules.

"I never expected that the Enlightenment Lotus would be so powerful, that its state of enlightenment could even be transmitted to the Wind Sword Soul."

If that's the case, then wouldn't the Free and Unfettered Sword Soul also be able to enter a state of enlightenment on its own?
