Yuan's Ascension

Chapter 380: We Meet Again

This strike? Wu Yuan's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

If the previous strike embodied a power that moved one's heart, then this strike was one of absolute dominance!

The overpowering aura that hit him head-on caused Wu Yuan's heart to palpitate.

These two strikes are of the same Dao level, both containing the profundity of the Celestial Body Dao at the initiate level, but they explain it from two different ways. Wu Yuan instinctively did his utmost to absorb and comprehend the profundities of these two strikes.

Swoosh! Before he could think further, another sword light flew out from the huge celestial body, containing a gentle power. Yet, this gentle strike was equally sharp.

Just like that, sword lights flew one after another, each strike following the previous one in a never-ending series.

The moving strike, the domineering strike, the gentle strike, the joyful strike, the wrathful strike, the lonely strike, the sincere strike...

Countless sword lights revolved around Wu Yuan, allowing him to experience the different outward manifestations of the same Dao. These sword lights interpreted the Celestial Body Dao from different angles.

Wu Yuan immersed himself in it, and his two true selves both exerted their full effort to contemplate the strikes.

It seemed like only an instant had passed, yet also a long, long time.

Boom! The surrounding sword lights suddenly dissipated, followed by another sword light slashing through the cosmos from the star.

It's also a moving strike.

Wu Yuan was already in tears, his thoughts influenced by the sword intent of this strike. But the profundity of the Dao it contained has surpassed my Dao comprehension level.

This was a higher level of the moving strike.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! As expected, one sword light after another appeared, quickly surrounding Wu Yuan.

It was almost a repeat of what had just occurred. The only difference was that this time, the sword lights were even more profound, more mysterious.

Wu Yuan quietly contemplated each streak of sword light.

Time passed.

These sword lights must be at the True Intent stage. Wu Yuan continued to study these sword lights.

Though it took great effort, he also made incredible progress. Even with the Celestial Body Law Codex as his guide, he had never before perceived the profundity of the Celestial Body Dao so clearly, from such diverse angles.

Time blurred into an indistinguishable haze.

These sword lights are even more profound, I can't comprehend them, I don't understand! The profundities of the sword lights finally reached a level that Wu Yuan could not understand at all.

They were too profound.

Wu Yuan had spent eight years contemplating the Celestial Body Dao, but eight years were merely enough to gain an introduction to the vastness of the Celestial Body Dao.

Trying to contemplate these countless profound sword lights was like attempting to decipher a heavenly scripture. Wu Yuan was clueless about where to start.

Remember these fluctuations!

Remember. Wu Yuan quickly changed his train of thought. He stopped attempting to comprehend. Instead, he tried to mimic them, striving to imprint these various fluctuations of sword techniques deep into his heart, etching them deep into his soul!

He fought to keep them from being forgotten.

After reading the same book a thousand times, one would eventually begin to understand what was written. The same applied to comprehending the sword. As long as one remembered and imitated it repeatedly, one would eventually make progress.

Time passed.

The profundities of the Celestial Body Dao contained within those streaks of sword light became even more profound and vast, to the point where Wu Yuan could barely hope to remember those various sword fluctuations. The gap was just too large, the difficulty too high.

Yet Wu Yuan did not give up. He simply continued to contemplate them with a still mind.

For him, even if the understanding eluded him, even if he couldn't remember, merely experiencing it once would leave an intangible impact on his soul that would last a lifetime.

Sword lights began to fly out one after another, growing increasingly profound.

By now Wu Yuan had lost track of time entirely. Even his body-refining true self in Middle Land was entirely engrossed in the endless series of sword lights.

He only felt that his understanding of the sword path was constantly evolving. Moreover, he felt an epiphany-like transformation in his understanding of the Celestial Body Dao. It seemed as if comprehending the Dao was nothing more than this.

Finally, the last sword light tore through the boundless cosmos.

Boom! That enormous star exploded with a thunderous roar. Countless meteorite fragments and magma flew in all directions. As they interacted with each other, countless fluctuations of the Celestial Body Dao also intertwined, creating an incredible ‘scroll of Dao’.

What? Wu Yuan was utterly shocked.

What a scene this was.

The endless fluctuations of the Celestial Body Dao made Wu Yuan feel ashamed. What he comprehended was merely a superficial layer of the Celestial Body Dao.

Perfect, flawless! This is the ultimate explanation of the Celestial Body Dao, containing all the profundities of the Celestial Body Dao. Wu Yuan realized.

It was too shocking. The endless profundities of the Dao surged into Wu Yuan's mind, filling his heart.

For the first time, Wu Yuan was vividly seeing the full appearance of the Celestial Body Dao. It was vast, majestic, and towering.

Without a sound, Wu Yuan's consciousness disappeared from this spacetime.

Hmm? Wu Yuan instantly grew alert. Both his qi refiner self and body refiner self were equally awake.

I? Wu Yuan was somewhat dazed. But at that moment, an endless stream of sword profundities surged into his mind.

Wu Yuan couldn't help but immerse himself in it.

After a moment, Wu Yuan was finally completely awake.

"Senior." His gaze fell on the elderly man in white robes, sitting in lotus position on the jade platform. The man was still smiling, his expression as kindly as ever.

"The Dao Temple holds supreme profundities." The white-robed elder smiled, "Each individual contemplates different Daos, and due to the variations in their life experiences, the visions they perceive differ as well."

"But in the end, it all leads you to comprehend the most essential fluctuations of a Dao’s profundities, providing guidance with your cultivation." The white-robed elder said.

Wu Yuan listened, thoughtful.

Wu Yuan couldn't help taking one more look at the now-sealed gates. It was too incredible, ten or even a hundred times clearer than the guidance of the Celestial Body Law Codex.

It went straight into the depths of his soul.

"The effect of the Dao Temple's guidance is astonishing, but in essence, it's no different from many other Dao comprehension treasures." The white-robed elder said, "To truly understand and grasp the vast profundities of the Dao, you will need to depend on your own efforts."

"Don't just remain on the surface, immerse your heart in comprehension and control it." The white-robed elder advised.

"I will keep this in mind, Senior." Wu Yuan nodded solemnly.

He understood that this perception experience was like a dream. It seemed clear at the moment, but if he didn't spend time delving into it and studying the details, he would eventually forget everything!

"It's time to send you off. Remember, for every ten levels of the Seven Star Luminaries Tower you clear, you gain a point. With enough points, you can return here." The white-robed elder laughed, "Work hard, don't slack off!"

"One last thing. If you can clear level eighty of any star tower, you'll earn an extra point; if you can clear level ninety, you'll earn an extra ten points."

"If you can clear level one hundred, you'll get an extra hundred points!"

Before Wu Yuan could react, the old man waved his hand, and with an invisible ripple, Wu Yuan was swept away from the mysterious Dao Temple.

...

In the headquarters of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect, inside the meditation chamber within Wu Yuan’s world residence.

I was directly sent out of the Redmoon Immortal Realm? Wu Yuan slowly opened his eyes. With a quick Soul Force scan, he filled in the gaps in his mind. Only two days have passed in that mysterious Dao Temple?

Yet to Wu Yuan, it felt as if a far longer time had passed.

This is truly magical! Its effectiveness is many times that of the Celestial Body Law Codex. Wu Yuan marveled quietly.

As he recalled what had happened, Wu Yuan still felt astonished.

The Seven Star Luminaries Tower is accessible from both the Dragon Star and Redmoon voidrealms, but the Dao Temple can only be accessed through the Redmoon Immortal Realm. Wu Yuan thought to himself. During my time in the Dao Temple, the place felt strangely real.

Was the Dao Temple really created by Immortal Redmoon? Wu Yuan was skeptical.

Archimmortals were very powerful.

But, even if Immortal Redmoon has fully comprehended the Celestial Body Dao, could he enable immortal cultivators to perceive it so clearly? Wu Yuan found it hard to believe.

It was too miraculous.

He thought back to the Redmoon Immortal Realm, where the highest tower one could challenge was the four-star tower, and the last three towers were merely for show.

This Dao Temple could very well have been set up by the Silvermist Immortal Nation, or even the Taiyuan Divine Court. Wu Yuan hypothesized. The Redmoon Immortal Realm is just a medium or a gateway to enter.

The Seven Star Luminaries Tower, the Dao Temple... No wonder the major sects encourage their disciples to challenge it. This is indeed a massive opportunity, yet it is given to countless immortal cultivators. A move of such magnitude, blessing countless lives, must have a significant motive behind it.

Wu Yuan swiftly suppressed these chaotic thoughts. There was no need to concern himself with the secrets behind it.

What I need to do is seize these opportunities and continually strengthen myself. Wu Yuan recognized this.

Once he was strong enough, many secrets would be naturally revealed to him.

Continue cultivating. Wu Yuan calmed his mind.

Both his true selves began to recall the scenes from the Dao Temple and study them.

For Wu Yuan, every wasted breath was still a form of wastage. He needed to digest these insights in the shortest time possible.

...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

It was only then that Wu Yuan managed to digest the first portion of his insights and broke his meditation. With a mental command, two strands of consciousness quickly entered the Dragon Star Immortal Realm and the Redmoon Immortal Realm respectively.

As soon as he entered, Wu Yuan received numerous notifications, with countless messages pouring in, most from other inner disciples and hereditary disciples.

Some were from Void Refiner Eminences of the sect, wanting to make acquaintances with Wu Yuan.

Wu Yuan's Soul Force quickly browsed through these countless notifications. He skimmed over most of them, responding to a few.

Hmm? Zhuo Haiyue? Wu Yuan noticed Zhuo Haiyue's message.

Coming to a quick decision, Wu Yuan extended an invitation to Zhuo Haiyue, inviting her to be a guest at his private residence on Dragon Star Island.

In hardly a blink of an eye, Wu Yuan received a response.

Online? Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile, that term immediately coming to mind.

Under normal circumstances, most immortal cultivators left a trace of their consciousness in the voidrealm for quick communication.

"To Dragon Star Island." Wu Yuan departed from his personal hall.

Dragon Star Island, covering thousands of li in radius, was massive. Normally, only disciples of the Dragon Star Immortal Sect could enter it.

But high-ranking individuals, like the hereditary disciples and the Void Refiner Eminences, had their own large-scale residences with extensive privileges, such as inviting guests directly into their residences.

Of course, outsiders didn't have the privilege to wander around Dragon Star Island and could only stay within these residences.

Swoosh! A woman clad in silver armor materialized out of thin air within the spacious mansion.

"Haiyue, it's been a while," Wu Yuan, clad in black robes, greeted the silver-armored woman full of heroic spirit.

"Li Xia, it has been a long time indeed. This is my first visit to Dragon Star Island," Zhuo Haiyue replied with a smile.

The two exchanged smiles.

"Greetings, Your Highness Haiyue," Lu Zhu, accompanied by numerous Golden Core followers, bowed respectfully.
