203: Epiphany! Another epiphany!

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Above Tianzhu Peak, the Spiritual Qi had almost solidified.

In the center of the Sect Plaza, the "wu cheng stone" that Lu Yuchen had placed high hopes on was now glowing with precious light, covered in profound Dao patterns, and emanating a heart-palpitating pressure.

After so long, being constantly meditated upon by so many Prodigies blessed with great Luck, this originally unremarkable stone had truly... gained sentience!

"Tsk tsk, this is getting interesting."

At the entrance of the Sect Master's Hall, Lu Yuchen lay on that familiar grandmaster chair, looking at the increasingly extraordinary stone, marveling in his heart.

Just then!

"Buzz—!"

An indescribable profound aura suddenly burst forth from Lin Fan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the wu cheng stone!

Behind him, the vision of "Immortal King Descending upon the Nine Heavens" appeared with a rumble!

The Immortal King's illusory figure formed hand seals, muttering incantations, as if expounding on the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, and the cycles of the Universe's creation and destruction!

He had an Epiphany!

The so-called Legacy of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Ye Fan, the "Heavenly Emperor Sutra," was "concocted" by him!

But that wasn't all.

It was as if the first domino had been toppled.

The moment Lin Fan had his Epiphany.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Xiao Huohuo, Ling Ke'er, Nanny, Li Huowang, and Chen Ping'an—the five of them—were as if pulled by some mysterious force, and almost at the same time, their bodies trembled.

Behind Xiao Huohuo, an endless sea of fire surged, lightning flashed, and an illusory figure of an Flame Emperor, holding a giant ruler as if to cleave the very heavens, slowly materialized.

Around Ling Ke'er, mystic light flowed, and immortal music resonated, as an illusory figure of a Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, peerlessly graceful and in charge of Yin and Yang creation, appeared out of thin air.

Behind Nanny, in a chaotic expanse, a golden lotus of the Great Dao slowly bloomed, its twelve petals unfurling, upon which seemed to sit a ruthless Empress, overlooking all ages with unparalleled grace!

Li Huowang, on the other hand, was in a state of madness, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, his Saber Intent surging around him, actually causing heaven and earth to change color!

Chen Ping'an was the calmest; he simply slowly opened his eyes, which were undisturbed, as if containing all the sword principles in the world. He lightly pointed a finger at the Void Realm.

"Buzz—!"

An invisible Sword Qi flashed and disappeared.

The hard stone slab in front of him was directly cut open by a terrifying sword mark that was unfathomably deep.

Epiphany!

Collective Epiphany!

If this miraculous scene were to spread, it would be enough to drive the entire Tianwu Continent into a frenzy!

...

"Holy crap..."

Lu Yuchen stared at the grand spectacle before him, which looked like it had special effects turned on, his eyes almost popping out.

He knew that all his Disciples were cheaters.

But he never expected them to be this ridiculously overpowered!

Are they even letting others live?!

As he grumbled inwardly, the long-lost, yet incredibly pleasant System notification sounds began to frantically scroll across his mind.

"Ding! Detected that Host's Disciple Lin Fan successfully had an Epiphany of the 'Heavenly Emperor Sutra', triggering a hundredfold critical return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Improved 'Heavenly Emperor Sutra'!"

"Ding! Detected that Host's Disciple Xiao Huohuo successfully had an Epiphany of 'Three Thousand Thunder Movement' and 'Flame Wave Ruler Art', triggering a hundredfold critical return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Improved 'Three Thousand Thunder Movement Cultivation Technique' and 'Heaven-Splitting Ruler'!"

"Ding! Detected that Host's Disciple Ling Ke'er comprehended the supreme Divine Ability 'Mystic Heaven Treasure Art' from the 'Mystic Maiden Heart Sutra', triggering a hundredfold critical return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Complete Divine Ability 'Yin and Yang Life and Death Art'!"

"Ding! Detected that Host's Disciple Lu Nuannuan successfully had an Epiphany of the 'Flying Immortal Art', triggering a hundredfold critical return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Improved 'Flying Immortal Art'!"

"Ding! Detected that Host's Disciple Li Huowang comprehended the Divine Ability 'Three Corpse Severance' within his own Dao, triggering a hundredfold critical return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Complete Divine Ability 'One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones'!"

"Ding! Detected that Host's Disciple Chen Ping'an created the sword move 'Still Water' during his Epiphany, triggering a hundredfold critical return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining: Complete Sword Dao Divine Ability 'One Leaf Slashes Stars'!"

A series of notification sounds made Lu Yuchen dizzy, his head buzzing.

He only felt massive, profound information flooding into his mind, corroborating and integrating with his own Dao.

Although his cultivation did not Breakthrough again, his understanding of the "Dao" and his control over power instantly reached an unprecedented height!

"Heh... hehe... hehehe..."

Lu Yuchen's mouth slowly stretched into an extremely exaggerated arc, and in the end, he let out a series of idiotic giggles like a pervert.

He got rich!

This time, he really got rich!

This wave of returns felt even better than winning a lottery worth hundreds of millions!

...

At the same time.

Tai Xuan Immortal Sect, Outer Sect.

The dozen or so Outer Sect Disciples were also cultivating desperately under the leadership of Pavilion Master Ling Yixue and Yan'er.

Although they didn't have the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability of Personal Disciples, each of them was a chosen Genius.

Coupled with the Spiritual Qi so dense it almost dripped water within the Sect, and the seemingly free supply of spiritual plants.

Their cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds, progressing rapidly.

Lin Fan's aura gradually calmed down, and he looked at the Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters around him who were still closing their eyes, comprehending the new Cultivation Techniques.

Lu Yuchen also didn't want him to be idle.

"Lin Fan, as the Senior Brother, continue as before and impart all 49 types of Spells I taught you to everyone else."

"Yes."

"By the Sect Master's order!"

Lin Fan, who had just awakened from his Epiphany, arrived at the Outer Sect, his voice booming.

"All Outer Sect Disciples, heed my command!"

"My Tai Xuan Immortal Sect emphasizes a balance of work and rest, and all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor!"

"From today onwards, I shall, on behalf of Revered Master, impart the Dao! I will transmit all forty-nine basic Spells of the Sect to you all!"

"You all must Cultivate diligently, and do not tarnish the prestige of my Tai Xuan Immortal Sect!"

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Outer Sect completely erupted!

Immortal Spells!

Those were true Immortal Spells!

Each Outer Sect Disciple was like a chicken pumped with blood, their faces flushed, trembling with excitement!

...

Just as the entire Tai Xuan Immortal Sect was immersed in a thriving cultivation atmosphere.

At the entrance of the Sect Master's Hall, Lu Yuchen, who was meditating with his eyes closed on that familiar grandmaster chair, suddenly furrowed his brow slightly.

"Ding!"

A completely different, warning-filled notification sound rang in his mind.

"Detected that Host's Buddhist cloaked Disciple Xuanzang is currently in the Western Regions, 'in a large mountain within a certain oasis', being pursued by a Martial Saint expert from Little Thunderclap Temple, and has reached a desperate situation!"

Immediately after, a voice filled with helplessness and despair, transmitted through the Fahai statue where he had left a wisp of his Divine Soul, clearly entered his ears.

"Revered Master... this Disciple is incompetent..."

"In the end, I still failed to fulfill your entrustment to revitalize Buddhism..."

"This Disciple has failed to live up to your expectations..."

Boom!

Lu Yuchen stood up abruptly, his eyes, which always carried a hint of laziness, burst forth with terrifying cold light capable of freezing the Soul in that instant!

Xuanzang!

His Buddhist Disciple, whom he had just tricked some time ago, had actually been forced to such a state by others?!

Little Thunderclap Temple!

These damned bald donkeys!

They truly don't know what's good for them!

"Fan'er!"

Lu Yuchen's voice was bone-chilling.

"Revered Master!" Lin Fan's figure instantly appeared before him.

"I have something to attend to."

Lu Yuchen stood up, patted the dust off his body, his voice calm.

"The matters of the Sect will temporarily be left to you to manage."

With that, he no longer hesitated, and lightly drew a line in the Void Realm in front of him with his right hand.

Lu Yuchen stepped in, and his figure disappeared into thecrack.
