843: Chapter 226: Fusang, Where Xi He Resides 843: Chapter 226: Fusang, Where Xi He Resides Time flowed like water, especially in the Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, where the sun and the moon shared the sky, unable to distinguish day from night.
Once one fell into meditation, time became even more elusive.
In the sky, the stars shifted positions, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl had met not just three or five times, but hurriedly three or five decades had passed.
Initially, Su He was aware of the outside world, aware of Tai Zu, aware of Su Huanian and Ya Ya, but gradually, he could sense nothing at all.
He had descended into a true state of oblivion.
Inside his body, the Xuanwu Star Fate moved identically to the stars in the sky, everything synchronized!
But Su He did not know, he did not check.
Everything was left to fate.
The Tao Rhythm on his body, unknown when, turned into murmurs, somehow murmuring out Tao Scriptures.
They were clearly murmurs, but to Tai Zu’s ears, they sounded like booming bells with grand musical pipes, clearly roaring loudly, yet he couldn’t hear a single word.
The mechanical gaze in Tai Zu’s eyes unknowingly shifted back to his true self’s dim, old eyes.
The consciousness of the Old turtle came again, but it did not wake up the three who were meditating and sleeping.
Instead, it furrowed its brows and listened intently to Su He’s murmurs.
Unable to understand a word, but he listened with grave seriousness.
Flowers in the Taihe Palace budded and bloomed little by little, swaying in the wind, as if cheering for Su He.
But Su He did not know; he couldn’t even perceive his own existence.
He was like a stone lying there quietly, unmovable and unshaken.
In the Inner World, the moment Su He’s Tao Rhythm rose, Yue Ying hurriedly covered her ears, choosing not to listen to the murmurs coming from all directions.
But the more she ignored the murmurs, the more they burrowed into her ears.
Despite being unintelligible, what had once been utterly elusive to her in the past suddenly seemed to carry no secrets at all and shamelessly surfaced, desperately burrowing into her mind.
Yue Ying’s face was pale, filled with misery.
It’s over!
All over!
Even after refining the Law Sphere, there was no escape…
The Dragon Turtle deceived me!
She was stunned for a long while, then gave up completely, clenching her teeth, she closed her eyes to meditate amidst the murmuring voices around the world!
She would meditate by damnation!
The flames behind her wings steamed as she refined the Law, and under the murmuring sounds, the rate of refining unexpectedly increased rapidly.
In the Netherworld, the Ghost Creatures raised their heads to look at the sky, their armor that had been broken for who knows how long was now gradually being restored.
Though the recovery was terribly slow, there were indeed changes.
As the armor regained its form, a lively look gradually returned to the eyes of the Ghost Creatures.
In the entire Inner World, only the Netherworld White Tiger remained terribly foolish, showing no hint of Spirit Wisdom, either licking its fur or licking more fur.
Besides grooming itself, sometimes it would run over to Yue Ying.
As it watched her refining the Law, it would paw the Law Sphere down and lick it.
And so, for who knows how long, in the sky of the Inner World, suddenly a faint star flickered into existence.
Yue Ying awoke with a start, only to see the originally faint faux stars in the sky suddenly become real.
One, two… ten…
Suddenly in clusters, then in groups!
In the Northern star field, eight hundred stars solidified one by one in her astonished gaze, turning into real stars in an instant!
Though weak, though just a faint radiance, they were genuinely real stars.
Their nature had completely transformed!
Just like the sun, since the birds entered the sun, for years the power of half of the Inner World had been consumed by the sun, but the sun had become more solidified, elevating the Inner World to an unprecedented level.
Yue Ying could feel, at this moment, the sun’s driving force on the Inner World was several times greater than before!
If the sun was completely refined, the operational speed of this world would be unimaginable.
The sun was not yet finished, and more stars appeared.
All the stars of the Northern constellations made their appearance!
Just as all the Northern Stars appeared, the consciousness of the Dragon Turtle awoke in the starry sky.
Su He soared into the starry sky.
The Spirit Snake and Turtle Body opened their mouths simultaneously, emitting a long, distant chant.
The sound was like rolling surges, echoing throughout the entire Inner World.
As the chant ended, a glimmer of spirit slowly returned to Su He’s vacant eyes.
His consciousness awakened.
Looking at the familiar starry sky before him, it took him a long while to come to his senses.
“An epiphany?” The previous state must have been the legendary epiphany.
I have been practicing for over thirty years, already opened two-fold heaven, and even slain beings of the Sky Six-fold tier, but this was the first epiphany I encountered in my life.
How miraculous!
But so useful.
Su He, enlightened!
Not comprehending the Great Tao, but knowing how to proceed on his path ahead!
Previously, he was entirely in a state of obliviousness, forgetting his own existence, as if he himself was part of the Xuanwu Seven Constellations.
Constantly moving with the motion of the Xuanwu Seven Constellations, gradually he knew how to follow his own Way of the Xuanwu.
With the feedback from the Xuanwu Demonstration Decision, the addition of the Tao Te Ching, and decades of daily insights into the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper.
Practicing the Way of Xuanwu was not like the Divine God Beasts that need to open the heavens nor like cultivators who undergo Transcendence or turn into demons; there was a somewhat more ancient meaning within.
It carried a bit of the flavor of Qi Cultivators from past legends, refining one’s own essence and spirit, reverting to the origin…
Just like refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into Divine.
But there were also differences.
Su He did not know what to call it.
The specific method of cultivation was not yet completely figured out, and he couldn’t rush it; for now, it was just an idea.
Tai Zu was by his side, and he could ask later.
This kind of cultivation issue would likely delight the Old turtle, who would not find it bothersome.
However, in his bewildered state, he had somewhat progressed in his cultivation.
After achieving the Proof of the Dragon Turtle, Su He’s cultivation actually focused more on bloodlines and the Inner World.
He had set aside the cultivation of meridians and True Yuan.
This was the path of the Divine God Beasts, the self was fundamental!
