Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 14 Life Spring Realm
"boom"

At that very moment, a powerful aura erupted, causing the entire cave to shake. Li Yao's body surged with energy, and sacred flames burned fiercely around his body.

His eyes shone brightly, like two bolts of lightning shooting out, making the entire room exceptionally bright.

Li Yao stood up, exuding a solemn aura. The aura he released shook the room, which was fortunate to be made of high-quality materials; otherwise, it might have collapsed.

"Is this the Fountain of Life?!"

Li Yao clenched his fist, feeling incredibly exhilarated. Having entered the Life Spring Realm, he had finally truly embarked on the path of cultivation and gained some ability to protect himself.

He transformed into a beam of divine radiance and burst out of the room, then a blazing divine rainbow enveloped him, and he slowly rose into the air.

At this moment, at the very center of Li Yao's sea of ​​suffering, a spring appeared, connecting with the wheel of life. The divine spring was gushing forth, surrounded by a hazy, colorful mist.

This was a completely new experience. Li Yao stood high in the sky, the wind making his clothes flutter, with mountains and rivers at his feet, and a feeling of control over "everything" welled up in his heart.

The expansive view and the view into the distance were unprecedented sensations. Relying on one's own strength to soar into the sky and look down upon the world one once lived in was awe-inspiring.

The magnificent mountains and rivers, the vast land, everything is before my eyes, making me feel relaxed and inspiring lofty aspirations. All things in heaven and earth, every blade of grass and every tree, are taken into my heart, making me feel an involuntary surge of heroic ambition.

This was a completely different feeling from being carried by others before. When others carried him, he had no control over his own destiny, but now, it was entirely up to his own will.

“The improvement brought by each breakthrough is indeed enormous.” Li Yao stood high in the sky, his flesh and blood spotless and pure, his whole body crystal clear, shimmering with light, like a beautiful work of art, giving him a feeling of being reborn.

His physical body was flawless, almost perfect. If he were to encounter someone at the Bitter Sea Realm, he felt he could obliterate them with a mere wave of his hand. This wasn't blind confidence, but rather a testament to the immense, ever-renewing power within him.

No wonder, when a lower realm cultivator attacks a higher realm cultivator, it is called "going against the tide to conquer immortals." The gap between them is simply too great. To cross realms to fight an enemy is extremely difficult.

Li Yao rode the rainbow, traversing the heavens and earth, a dazzling rainbow piercing the sky, as he freely enjoyed this feeling of unrestrained freedom.

However, he still had some sense of propriety and always flew within the area of ​​his own mountain, never leaving the area, so he did not attract any attention.

Of course, it didn't go completely unnoticed. Zhang Chong, who was about to deliver resources to Li Yao at that moment, noticed this scene.

Half an hour later, Li Yao finally calmed down. Standing on the mountaintop, he let the breeze caress his face, his black hair fluttering gently, and his eyes shining like two stars.

His powerful and fierce aura was completely subdued, replaced by a peaceful and serene temperament. He was flawless and immaculate, his robes fluttering, like a banished immortal descending to earth, ethereal and graceful, giving people a sense of holiness.

At this moment, the fist-sized sea of ​​suffering within his body had completely calmed down; there were no more raging "volcanoes," no more surging waves, and no more billowing smoke.

The Sea of ​​Bitterness was very tranquil. In its very center, a spring gushed forth, emanating a vibrant life force—the source of divine power flowing forth.

The Wheel of Life, which lies beneath the Sea of ​​Bitterness, is opened, and the inexhaustible wellspring of life within it surges forth. This is the fundamental source of a cultivator's power.

Ripples spread from the Divine Spring in all directions towards the Sea of ​​Bitterness, transforming into gentle waves that added a touch of dynamism and nature. The Sea of ​​Bitterness rippled, the Divine Spring gurgled, and together the two created an inexhaustible divine power and a vibrant life force.

Watching Li Yao soar freely through the air from afar, Zhang Chong took out another two hundred catties of Pure Source and placed it in a jade bottle. Although he was somewhat shocked by Li Yao's breakthrough to the Life Spring, it wasn't to the point of being unacceptable.

Before reaching the Four Extremes Secret Realm, as long as there were enough resources, the cultivation speed was very fast. Although it was a month or so faster than he had estimated the breakthrough time, it was still... my ass.

The Yao Guang Jing is profound and complex. Ordinary disciples need a certain amount of time just to comprehend its mysteries, let alone cultivate it. The more powerful the scripture, the more difficult it is to comprehend.

Li Yao received the Yao Guang Jing in less than a month. In such a short time, he not only comprehended the Bitter Sea Chapter, but also directly cultivated it to perfection and broke through to the Life Spring Realm.

This suggests that Li Yao was not only exceptionally talented, but also possessed a level of comprehension rarely seen throughout history.

Don't underestimate the importance of comprehension in spiritual practice. In the past, there were sages who were not naturally gifted, but because of their strong comprehension, they eventually achieved great success in their spiritual practice.

Take, for example, that ruthless emperor. It is said that he was just a mortal at the beginning, and even among mortals, he was a useless body with no talent for cultivation. But because of his unparalleled talent, he rose all the way to become one of the most powerful emperors in history.

As the Supreme Elder of the Yao Guang Holy Land, Zhang Chong was naturally quite knowledgeable. Therefore, he understood how far a person would ultimately go if they had a good physique and extraordinary comprehension.

"Grand Master Zhang," Li Yao said, clasping his hands in a fist salute and bowing slightly.

Zhang Chong made no attempt to conceal his presence or even his aura. As he approached, Li Yao immediately sensed a being as dazzling as the sun drawing near.

"You've broken through." Zhang Chong still found it hard to believe. A month! How long did it take him to comprehend the Yao Guang Sutra?

A long time has passed, but it seems to be three months. Compared to Li Yao at this moment, the difference between the two is simply too great.

"Just lucky," Li Yao said modestly, though it felt a bit like Versailles, but that was all he could say.

Now he understands why "Lucky Guy" always talks about being lucky.

Because the difference in their abilities was so vast, everyone who saw it was utterly astonished.

At a time like this, Li Yao couldn't very well just say, "It's easy, anyone can do it."

While that is indeed the case, he cannot say it like that. At least for now, he needs to keep a low profile and safely get through his developmental period.

Zhang Chong's lips twitched. For some reason, he felt incredibly strange when he heard Li Yao say it was just a fluke.

There is no room for luck in cultivation, and as a half-step immortal being, how could he not see that the aura emanating from Li Yao at this moment was strong enough to rival that of many disciples in the Divine Bridge Realm?

A cultivator who has just broken through to the Life Spring has an aura comparable to the Divine Bridge Realm, which can only mean that Li Yao has cultivated the Bitter Sea Realm to its extreme.

It's not actually that difficult to accomplish this. First, you need resources, and then you need a complete understanding and mastery of the scriptures.
