Gu Qiuyue could clearly see Lu Yuan’s concern. She smiled and said, “I know you have many secrets, but don’t worry. Unless you tell me yourself, I won’t force you to tell me what these secrets are.”
“Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty.”
“Alright, although you’ve gained a lot from the Sutra Depository, cultivation is still very important to a cultivator. After all, it’s related to a cultivator’s lifespan.”
“Yes.”
Under Gu Qiuyue’s lead, the two of them quickly arrived at the depths of the Phoenix Empire’s imperial palace.
Along the way, Lu Yuan also discovered something that he had not noticed before.
The imperial palace was actually built on a huge golden tree.
And this tree seemed to be the legendary parasol tree.
Parasol Tree, Phoenix sword intent…
Could it be that the senior who left behind the sword intent in the Speed Star Sword Domain was a real phoenix?
If that were the case, could there be a real phoenix or a phoenix’s skeleton in this palace?
As soon as this thought appeared, it lingered in Lu Yuan’s mind.
However, he did not show these thoughts on his face and maintained a calm expression.
Under Gu Qiuyue’s lead, Lu Yuan quickly arrived at the tree crown.
Being in this position, Lu Yuan had a feeling as if he was facing the legendary World Tree.
One had to know that the size of the Phoenix Empire’s imperial palace was comparable to a city.
For a parasol tree to support a city, it had to be as big as a mountain.
If the Speed Star Sword Domain was already like this, then the other Big Dipper Sword Domains must have their own unique features.
Lu Yuan originally thought that he had already overestimated Spirit Sword Sect.
But now, it seemed that he had underestimated this place.
Gu Qiuyue, who brought Lu Yuan to the top of the parasol tree, pointed to an empty space and said, “Lu Yuan, that is the cultivation place I left for you.”
“Cultivating here not only provides a spiritual energy concentration dozens of times higher than the outside world but also enhances your comprehension of the way of the heavens.”
“After all, the parasol tree and the Bodhi tree of the Buddhist Sect are both known as the divine tree of enlightenment.”
“I don’t care about you spending a hundred years in the Sutra Depository, but I only have one request for you, and that is to raise your cultivation to the Apotheosis Stage as soon as possible.”
“The faster the process, the better.”
“If you can reach the Apotheosis Stage within five hundred years, 1 will give you a surprise.”
“Therefore, the most important thing for you to do now is to give up on those unnecessary things and put your energy into cultivation.”
A surprise?
Something that could be called a surprise by an empress of an Empire was definitely not something simple.
However, even without this surprise, Lu Yuan was prepared to start raising his cultivation. Thus, Lu Yuan replied, “Your Majesty, please rest assured. I originally planned to devote myself to cultivation during this period of time.”
“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
After saying this, Gu Qiuyue walked into the parasol tree again until she disappeared from Lu Yuan’s sight.
It was also at this time that Lu Yuan found out that Gu Qiuyue had been cultivating in this parasol tree.
The situation here was just as Gu Qiuyue had said. Not only was the spiritual energy very abundant, but the surrounding power of the heavens was also very dense.
In this place, not to mention his Innate Spirit, even an ordinary divine soul could clearly sense the existence of this power of the heavens.
If he was to cultivate here, Lu Yuan felt that five hundred years of time would likely be sufficient to advance his cultivation to the Apotheosis Stage.
At the very least, he could reach the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Moreover, Lu Yuan also discovered that there was an extremely dense vitality at the crown of the parasol tree.
This exuberant vitality made Lu Yuan feel his body make a joyful sound every time he took a breath.
His physical strength had increased visibly.
Compared to the canopy of the parasol tree, the so-called blessed grotto-heaven in the lower realm was no different from a desert.
This Upper Realm… There were really treasures everywhere!
After the moment of emotion, Lu Yuan walked directly to the parasol tree leaf that Gu Qiuyue had pointed out.
As soon as he sat down, Lu Yuan felt that the world around him had undergone a huge change.
Many originally intangible laws immediately appeared before Lu Yuan.
After Lu Yuan observed them for a moment, he decisively activated his Innate Spirit.
In the next second, Lu Yuan’s eyes turned completely golden.
And the power of the laws in his field of vision became clearer.
Not long after, Lu Yuan entered a state of cultivation.
As he observed the surrounding laws of heaven and earth, his body circulated the Primordial Innate Qi Technique, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy and transforming it into Innate Qi.
The parasol tree under him seemed to have sensed something. It actually began to slowly approach him and finally wrapped him up.
Lu Yuan did not have an extreme reaction to this.
This was because he did not sense any danger from the parasol tree.
As Lu Yuan gradually entered the state, the aura on his body began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Transcendence Dharma Idol in his spiritual space also began to sit cross-legged.
Slowly, Lu Yuan converted more and more Innate Qi.
The body of his Transcendence Dharma Idol also began to become clearer and clearer.
However, what Lu Yuan did not realize was that as the Heavenly Aspect continued to be completed, two illusory figures began to condense in his spiritual sense space.
These two figures seemed quite similar to the adjacent transcendent Dharma Idol.
However, they had yet to fully condense, making it impossible for him to see through the details of these two new Dharma Idols.
One of the two new Dharma Idols disappeared again after appearing for a moment.
Only one was left sitting beside the transcendent Dharma Idol and began to meditate.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Yuan’s originally chaotic spiritual sense space began to clear up after the appearance of the second Dharma Idol.
And this new Dharma seemed to have some kind of symbiotic relationship with the transcendent Dharma Idol beside it.
Although the two of them were absorbing the Innate Qi converted by Lu Yuan, they were very harmonious with each other and did not compete for the Innate Qi.
As the Innate Qi in his consciousness increased, his consciousness space also began to expand.
When the space of his spiritual consciousness expanded to a certain extent, the four immortal swords that were originally floating beside the transcendent Dharma Idol flew into the air.
Then, these four immortal swords turned into illusory streams of light and fused with the surrounding spiritual sense space.
In the next second, there were signs of life in his spiritual space.
Mountains, rivers, lakes, flowers, and trees began to appear one after another as if a world had been created.
If Lu Yuan knew what had happened to him, he would definitely be greatly shocked.
This was because he had never known that a cultivator’s Dharma Idol could actually form an existence similar to a small world.
In fact, Lu Yuan had never completely known what his true Dharma was.
Whether it was the Immortal Sword Dharma Idol, the transcendent Dharma Idol, or even the two illusory figures that appeared just now, they were all part of Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol.
Lu Yuan’s true Dharma Idol had only been one from the beginning, and that was his Innate Spirit after being baptized by the way of the heavens.
Furthermore, it was different from ordinary Innate Spirits. Lu Yuan’s Innate Spirit was so special that he would never have thought of it.
Because the name of his Innate Spirit was… Chaos.
Chaos was eternal. There was no heaven and earth, no living beings, no good or evil, no beauty or ugliness, no grudges, no beginning or end. It was a kind of perfection.
It was precisely because his Nascent Soul was Chaos that his Nascent Soul did not have a fixed form.
In the beginning, Lu Yuan thought that his Dharma Idol was the Celestial Eradication Sword Array because he wanted to turn Chaos into the Celestial Eradication Sword Array.
After that, his Dharma Idol became transcendent because he wanted chaos to become transcendent.
It could be said that from the beginning to the end, his Nascent Soul had been in the form he had thought it would be.
What Lu Yuan didn’t know was that a large part of the reason why he was able to condense the special Dharma Idol of Chaos was because of the memories of his previous life.
The appearance of one’s Dharma Idol came from the heart. Lu Yuan’s memories of the primeval myths in his previous life had affected his Nascent Soul to a certain extent.
In addition, he had condensed his Nascent Soul with the perfect nine-patterned way of the heavens’ Golden Core.
This led him to condense a special Dharma Idol that no one had ever seen before… Chaos..
