Chapter 360: 166: This Guy... Is Defying the Heavens!
Lu Yi’s eyes brightened, and his heart surged with joy.
The leaves of the Enlightenment Tea themselves are extremely precious. Although Lu Yi had received numerous rewards after each breakthrough, as his cultivation base had grown, the time needed to break through a great realm had increased, and he had begun to feel somewhat stretched thin.
With the seeds of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, he could cultivate his own tree, which was naturally a wonderful thing.
And this time, the reward of Enlightenment Tea leaves was a full 100 kilograms, which made Lu Yi very happy.
With so many Enlightenment Tea leaves, he could once again immerse himself in comprehension for a while.
Lu Yi accepted the task and then began his cultivation.
As his cultivation base grew higher, the pressure from the Heavenly Dao at the bottleneck became increasingly formidable.
At this moment, Lu Yi felt the immensely terrifying pressure from the Heavenly Dao, as if heaven and earth were pouring down upon him while he broke through from the Divinity Transformation Realm to the Cave Void Realm.
However, each time Lu Yi broke through, he shattered the three Heavenly Restrictions, gradually enhancing his own will. Even facing the catastrophic pressure of heaven and earth collapsing, Lu Yi remained composed.
The Nascent Soul within Lu Yi released terrifying spiritual energy like a tsunami, which, channeled through the Immortal Sword Seed, transformed into Immortal Sword Qi and charged at the elusive bottleneck.
The roaring sounds followed the impact of the Sword Qi continuously.
The bottleneck transitioning from the Divinity Transformation to Cave Void Realm was as solid as a rock. Lu Yi’s Immortal Sword Qi, containing a strand of Immortal Law and imbued with 50% understanding of the Sword Domain, still felt like a mere water droplet against the solid rock, despite its power.
Breaking the bottleneck was a prolonged process.
Lu Yi was not the least bit impatient, his mindset very stable. He gradually absorbed spiritual energy, condensed the Immortal Sword Qi, and continued impacting the bottleneck.
Thus, after more than two months, a faint sound made Lu Yi’s spirit tremble.
Having broken through many bottlenecks before, Lu Yi naturally understood that this sound indicated the appearance of a crack in the bottleneck.
Without hesitation, Lu Yi took out the Tao Essence awarded for shattering the Heavenly Restrictions.
It was a palm-sized crystal, shimmering with colorful lights, containing complex and innate Tao Patterns, emanating a mysterious Tao Yun.
Without a second thought, Lu Yi absorbed the Tao Essence into his body.
Threads of dense Tao Essence, filled with countless innate Tao Patterns, merged into Lu Yi’s body.
Lu Yi’s body became translucent, shimmering with a rainbow glow, his physique appearing transparent, revealing clear bones and organs.
Lu Yi’s bones were as crystalline as white jade, and his organs were like individual gems, radiating a gentle luminescence.
The dense innate Tao Patterns, spreading with the Tao Essence, branded themselves on every inch of Lu Yi’s body, starting a transformation.
Each breakthrough brought about significant changes for Lu Yi through the Tao Essence.
It was a transformation from the inside out, starting from the very origin.
Lu Yi’s body, wrapped in the Tao, was transforming towards something far beyond an Immortal Body.
It was a physique in harmony with the Tao.
As the Tao Essence was absorbed by Lu Yi, the colorful mists in his Dantian roiled. Dense colorful mists slowly surfaced around Lu Yi’s body, and his Nascent Soul began to capture the sounds of the Tao, with mysterious Tao Yun appearing.
Lu Yi, filled with the rich essence of the Tao, charged toward the bottleneck again.
If the bottleneck had been intact, such Tao Essence might not have been enough to break through in one attempt, potentially wasting the precious Tao Essence. But now, with a crack already present, the bottleneck could hardly withstand the terrifying spiritual energy wrapped in the Tao.
Amidst the booming sound, Lu Yi felt completely transparent, as if stepping into a new world.
Everything had changed from before.
Though his eyes were closed, he could distinctly sense the veins of the surrounding world, feel the emotions of heaven and earth, and detect the pulse of all living things.
The Cave Void Realm is where one clarifies heaven and earth, reversing the void into reality.@@novelbin@@
The most direct manifestation for cultivators reaching this realm is the mastery of conception as a manifestation of the power of heaven and earth, controllable in the Cave Void Realm, naturally because one can perceive heaven and earth.
Through this perception, a Cave Void Cultivator grasps the power of heaven and earth, gradually achieving Heavenly Unity with the universe.
As cultivators progress from Cave Void to Unification, and then to the Immortal Tao Great Mahayana Realm, they transform conception into a domain, initially integrating with heaven and earth, beginning to realize Heavenly Unity.
Cultivators integrate with heaven and earth, achieving a state of great freedom.
Originally, Lu Yi had not reached the Cave Void Realm. Although he had comprehended various conceptions and mastered multiple domains, he was not yet a Cave Void Cultivator.
At the moment of his breakthrough, Lu Yi felt as if the entire heaven and earth were accepting him, embracing him, welcoming him.
Lu Yi felt the invisible cry of the entire White Cloud Mountain Range, heard the ethereal sounds of the sky—a welcome.
The Nascent Soul inside Lu Yi resonated with this realm, “Tao Me” became more attuned to the Tao, and Lu Yi’s consciousness seemed to swim freely in a dazzling sea interwoven with Tao and reason.
This was “Tao Me’s” perception of the Tao.
In Lu Yi’s spirit sea, the golden Sea of Consciousness boiled and expanded, transforming from its original pond size, growing continuously, and becoming an ocean.
In the central area of the ocean, which seemed connected to heaven and earth, pieces of golden clouds flowed, with golden thunder flickering.
With a thought, Lu Yi’s Primordial Spirit condensed and stepped out of his physical body.
Now, Lu Yi’s Primordial Spirit had a tangible form; he could even touch and feel real objects.
