Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 866 Mysterious Golden Lotus
As Lei Ze grew stronger, Chen Wang's desire to explore this place intensified.

The Fairy of Gushe mentioned those ascended beings who were hidden in the world and had never died, and they are very likely to be resurrected in this era.

Chen Wang wanted to see their true colors beforehand and also wanted to quickly improve his own strength.

He had undergone a tribulation in this Thunder Swamp, and his cultivation had greatly improved, but he was still some distance from the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

As Chen Wang was traversing through the lightning tribulation, many enormous beasts suddenly emerged, including dragons, phoenixes, qilin, and various ferocious creatures.

At this moment, the auras of these giant beasts all locked onto Chen Wang.

"broken!"

Chen Wang's heart sank, and he instinctively tried to activate the bronze gate to retreat.

The terrifying weather made his scalp tingle.

Chen Wang thought to himself, "With the combat power of the Taiyuan World, it is impossible to explore this place. No wonder no one has discovered its secrets for so many years. If I didn't have the Bronze Gate, and I had come this far into the world, with so many terrifying beasts ahead, and I couldn't escape, it would seem unreasonable not to lose my life here."

Chen Wang, being in the midst of it all, felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and the terror he felt grew ever stronger.

If so many thunderous beasts pounced at once, they would tear me to pieces in an instant.

However, the scene he imagined did not appear.

The thunderous behemoths simply stared coldly at Chen Wang without making any move.

boom!
The next moment, a phoenix formed from lightning shattered and turned into pure lightning Dao, followed by a lightning dragon. All the lightning Dao suddenly shattered and turned into a lightning storm!

The main road here became increasingly imposing.

Although Chen Wang was in the midst of it, and his situation was as precarious as a lone boat, he was not harmed by the lightning.

Chen Wang's eyes were burning, and he seemed to have gained some insight. Such a multitude of thunderous changes were definitely not ordinary.

The next moment, the raging thunder swamp finally calmed down, and a lotus flower bloomed. The golden lotus flower was extremely dazzling and looked very mysterious!

Within the lotus flower, a figure emerged—a woman of breathtaking beauty, with exquisitely delicate features, flawless and with her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Every part of her exudes a captivating charm, making one's heart flutter; she is graceful and flawless.

Chen Wang was also somewhat startled, wondering why such a woman had appeared.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that they first sent the thunderous beast to kill me, and then sent this woman to disturb my peace of mind?"

Upon realizing this, Chen Wang became extremely wary of the woman.

The golden lotus was mesmerizing; it seemed to emanate a higher, more sublime aura.

Chen Wang couldn't immediately tell whether this belonged to the Thunder or some other Great Dao; he simply lost his composure.

This woman is incredibly captivating.
Suddenly!

A powerful and profound Dao energy erupted, vast and boundless, like a boundless ocean.

Chen Wang instinctively tried to use the bronze door to leave, but suddenly everything went black and he fainted.

The woman did not open her eyes; her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were trying hard to wake up, but ultimately she was just one step too late.
Finally, she returned to the golden lotus, which closed up, and the power in the Thunder Swamp began to surge wildly towards the golden lotus.

After an unknown amount of time, Jinlian suddenly pounced and burrowed into Chen Wang's forehead.

If Chen Wang were to wake up now, he would be greatly surprised. The Great Dragon's primordial spirit was already residing in his sea of ​​consciousness, and now with the addition of this golden lotus, it would be extremely lively.

At this moment, Chen Wang was in a daze and unaware of the changes in the outside world.

After the golden lotus disappeared into Chen Wang's sea of ​​consciousness, a golden lotus swayed deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, but the woman's figure was nowhere to be seen within it.

The dragon's primordial spirit, temporarily residing deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, sensed an extremely powerful aura while dormant and couldn't help but want to awaken.

However, it was simply too exhausted. It had already been a great difficulty to wake up last time, and the repeated exhaustion had left the dragon extremely tired. In the end, like the woman who tried to wake up, it never truly woke up and then fell silent again.

…………

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Wang slowly woke up, his eyes glazed over.

He was in a desolate wilderness where the vegetation was withered and not thriving.

Chen Wang's heart stirred.
"Damn it, that force knocked me unconscious! I have no idea what happened!"

Chen Wang quickly checked his body and found nothing wrong with it, inside or out.

Chen Wang examined his body's inner world but found no problems whatsoever.

He then examined his own consciousness, and his expression suddenly changed.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, a golden lotus was swaying, and the entire sea of ​​consciousness became thick and profound!

Chen Wang exclaimed, "It's the Golden Lotus! How could the Golden Lotus appear on my body?"

Thinking of the woman in the Golden Lotus who exuded ultimate charm, Chen Wang couldn't help but be moved.

Chen Wang then immediately mobilized the power of faith, which surged forth in a mighty torrent.

The power of faith can seal immortal artifacts; its uses are endless!
The power of faith can only surround the golden lotus, but it cannot completely suppress it; it can only temporarily create a barrier.

Chen Wang's heart stirred.
Even the power of faith cannot completely suppress it!

The power of faith was Chen Wang's trump card. Previously, when immortal energy attempted to possess his body, it was suppressed by the power of faith.
Now that Chen Wang sees that the power of faith can only form a barrier, he feels slightly worried.

However, having weathered many storms, he did not lose his composure at this moment.

Chen Wang got up and looked around, realizing that he was in the same Thunder Swamp area as before.

However, the original Razer has disappeared!
Chen Wang was dumbfounded. Lei Ze was gone, and the power supporting it had disappeared. This meant that the Golden Lotus might have originally been the core of Lei Ze!
Chen Wang took a deep breath. If that were the case, he would have made a huge profit this time.

However, Chen Wang's expression changed immediately. The golden lotus had now crawled into his brow, and it was hard to say whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Chen Wang quickly left, returning to the depths of winter. ...

He examined Jinlian several times but found nothing wrong. He also tried to communicate with her, but she only trembled slightly, seemingly conscious yet unconscious, unable to communicate with him.

After trying a few times, Chen Wang stopped. He had a vague feeling that the golden lotus didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, at least not at this stage.

Chen Wang felt somewhat relieved, and then he went to his room to ponder.

This time he lost the Trial Ground of Thunder Swamp, but he had already gained the benefits of the trial. Enduring the eighty-one heavenly lightning strikes greatly benefited his primordial spirit and physical body, and solidified his foundation.

Chen Wang's future achievements will also be enhanced, which are some very significant benefits.

Chen Wang felt regretful about the lightning rune he had just comprehended, muttering to himself, "That rune is extremely advanced and difficult to memorize. What a pity. If I could master it, it would definitely become a killing move."

Although he knew he couldn't recall the lightning rune, Chen Wang still subconsciously tried to remember its appearance because of its profound nature.

However, this time, Chen Wang's expression suddenly changed drastically.

The rune was extremely powerful; it seemed to have a life of its own within his sea of ​​consciousness, and it could forcibly erase his memories.

Therefore, although Chen Wang forcibly imprinted the Great Dao of Gods and Demons on his mind, he was unable to cultivate it.

This time was different; Chen Wang actually wrote it down verbatim.

The runes contained an extremely profound aura, which greatly benefited Chen Wang after he comprehended them. His cultivation was also advancing by leaps and bounds, but he was completely unaware of it, as he was completely immersed in the mysteries of the Great Dao.

When Chen Wang finished his comprehension, his cultivation level soared, bringing him one step closer to the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!
"Has my understanding of runes improved so dramatically this time?" Chen Wang was also deeply shocked.

Chen Wang was also somewhat surprised, as this did not seem to be a simple thunder rune.

Chen Wang had initially thought the runes were profound and contained the laws of thunder, but he had never cultivated such laws, so his knowledge was limited.

After Chen Wang truly began cultivating this rune, he discovered that it might be more accurate to call it an immortal rune. The great Dao within it was extremely profound and was not limited to thunder. Thunder was merely one of its manifestations; it could be thunder, fire, wind, or ice.

Chen Wang was somewhat astonished. Originally, the runes were just runes of the Thunder Dao Law, but now that they had been condensed to this extent, their power was extremely strong, which had already tempted Chen Wang. Now that new runes containing many Great Daos had appeared, Chen Wang was even more eager to acquire them.

To prevent himself from forgetting the rune later, Chen Wang studied it constantly after this opportunity, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.
Chen Wang completely forgot that he was in the dead of winter, a time when spiritual energy was scarce and unsuitable for cultivators.

But before he knew it, he had actually cultivated to the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!

At this moment, Chen Wang exuded an ethereal, otherworldly aura, truly resembling a banished immortal, with a face as bright as the moon and eyes brimming with divine light.

He gives off a very different vibe than before.

Even with such a significant improvement in his cultivation, Chen Wang felt that he still hadn't fully comprehended the rune; he had only grasped a small part of it.

Chen Wang was even more shocked.

"Who exactly is that woman? These runes must be related to the Golden Lotus. Although the Golden Lotus has not caused me any harm in my sea of ​​consciousness, it has allowed me to comprehend the runes. I've really gained something!"

When Chen Wang used the Taoist techniques he had learned, they were imbued with an ethereal, otherworldly quality, greatly enhancing their power.

Moreover, at this moment, he felt that the suppression of the Taiwei Palace's Wind and Fire Wheel and other treasures was becoming increasingly powerful, and the Yin-Yang Dao Book was also completely suppressed by Chen Wang.

At this moment, Chen Wang had a feeling that even without this special weapon-refining method, he could suppress it with his current Dao techniques.

He attempted to imprint this rune onto the Mirror God, thereby greatly increasing the Mirror God's power.

However, while these runes can be studied, they cannot be imprinted on other places.
Chen Wang had no choice but to settle for second best. He shared the insights he had gained from this profound realization.
Mirror God was initially somewhat hopeful, but became slightly disappointed after his first attempt failed.

However, Chen Wang then imprinted his own Dao cultivation onto the Mirror God!
The Mirror God was first greatly surprised, then fell into shock: "Master, what exactly did you leave on me? Why do I feel that this time is so different from before?"

If it were just Chen Wang going from the middle to the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, there would certainly not be such an improvement. The Mirror God felt a more profound power, completely different from the power of ordinary cultivators.

The Mirror God's cultivation level is also advancing by leaps and bounds; this kind of magical artifact cultivation is absolutely groundbreaking.

As his master, Chen Wang was able to rapidly improve his cultivation level by imprinting it with his own cultivation.

Before long, it will also become a magic weapon in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and then Chen Wang's combat power will be greatly enhanced!
Unbeknownst to him, Chen Wang had been cultivating for several months. During these months, Chen Wang had clarified the Great Dao within his body.

He often had insights into the Great Dao in his mind, and gradually a cultivation technique emerged.

This technique is incomplete, only revealing a small part of its beginnings. Chen Wang was initially somewhat wary, but the technique was so profound that he immediately became engrossed in it upon seeing it.

Before he knew it, Chen Wang had already mastered this technique.

At this moment, the only two paths he needed to sort out were God and Demon and Life and Death. However, as a result, Chen Wang's strength not only did not decrease, but greatly increased!
The cultivation of the Divine Demon Path increased dramatically, and so did the cultivation of the Life and Death Path.

Chen Wang plans to use his divine and demonic powers to control life and death, which will further enhance his cultivation.

According to this nameless cultivation technique, the final step is to refine the Great Dao of Gods and Demons. At that time, one can switch between Great Daos at will.

Although he did not obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques, Chen Wang could already sense the extraordinary nature of this technique; it was definitely a Celestial-level technique.

Chen Wang's heart pounded wildly with joy.

After mastering this technique, his strength stabilized at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Even if Liu Dunhuang and Jiang Yu were to be resurrected, they would still be no match for him.

Although Chen Wang has only been in the Tribulation Transcending stage for a short time, he is comparable to some experts who have cultivated here for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Especially when Chen Wang made a move, there was a faint immortal aura about him. Even his casual attacks were imbued with this immortal aura. Compared to before, his combat power had increased by at least 30% to 40%, which was something Chen Wang had not expected.

All these changes stemmed from Chen Wang's extraordinary opportunity.

Chen Wang's primordial spirit was now very solid. He gradually reduced the size of his primordial spirit from its original size to only three feet tall.

The strength of the primordial spirit was more than twice that of before. According to the description of that cultivation method, the primordial spirit should eventually be refined to only three inches tall, and finally to the size of a grain of rice. Then it should be cultivated in the Niwan Palace. At that time, the primordial spirit could change size at will, and its transformations were endless.

Moreover, by then, Chen Wang will be extremely difficult to kill, as his true primordial spirit will be nowhere to be found, making it difficult to eliminate him.

This was indeed a powerful technique. After learning about it, Chen Wang plunged into it. The feeling of this great path unfolding before his eyes was truly addictive and captivating, even surpassing the thrill of killing enemies and finding treasures!
