Wonderful Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1818: He attained enlightenment again?

Within dozens of feet around the lake shore, not a blade of grass grows; the soil is a deep, dark red, echoing the color of the lake water.

It was unusually quiet here; there was no sound of insects or birds, and even the wind seemed to disappear here.

A vast, serene aura of life, imbued with the vicissitudes of time and a nameless sorrow, enveloped the entire lake area, inspiring awe.

"This is the place." Ye Zhenjun stopped and gestured for everyone to sit down in a relatively dry open space by the lake.

"Remember, suppress your consciousness, do not look at the lake water, and circulate your cultivation technique."

Following instructions, everyone found a place to sit cross-legged and began to circulate their internal energy to heal their injuries, absorbing the incredibly rich life force in the air.

Sure enough, as long as I didn't deliberately "look" at the strange lake, my mind was relatively calm. In fact, because the spiritual energy here was pure and contained special vitality, the healing effect was better than expected.

Chen Wanli also sat down to regulate his breathing, but his gaze couldn't help but sweep over the dark red, ever-changing lake surface.

The call from the same origin became incredibly clear here, even triggering the spontaneous operation of the internal energy cultivation technique within him.

"Young friend Chen seems quite curious about this Thousand Shadow Lake?" Ye Zhenjun's voice rang out from the side. He had somehow walked up to Chen Wanli, a gentle smile on his face.

Chen Wanli withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Zhenjun: "Such a strange place, it would be strange not to be curious."

Since Master Ye is aware of the mysteries of this place, has he not attempted to comprehend the Dao here?

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenjun shook his head, a perfectly measured hint of regret appearing on his face:

"I didn't have that opportunity. Back then... cough, I had tried to observe before, but unfortunately my mind was preoccupied with too many distracting thoughts, making it difficult to calm my mind and reflect, so I ultimately gained nothing."

Enlightenment at this lake depends on opportunity and cannot be forced.

"Oh?" Chen Wanli pressed, "Then who is that sage whom Ye Zhenjun mentioned who attained enlightenment while gazing at the lake and leaped across a major realm in a single day?"

A look of reminiscence appeared on Ye Zhenjun's face. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "The era is too long ago, and the name can no longer be verified."

It was just a legend back then.

Legend has it that a great cultivator from ten thousand years ago, skilled in medicine and nourishing life, found his path subtly aligned with the ever-renewing energy of this lake, thus granting him this extraordinary opportunity.

Major overhaul of medical equipment?

Chen Wanli's heart skipped a beat!

Isn't that the Great Immortal Doctor?

According to the records of the Immortal Physician Scripture, the Great Immortal Physician once roamed the spirit world.

But... how could that be! It's too much of a coincidence!

He quickly shook his head; the number of great medical practitioners was as numerous as the fish crossing a river.

It must be because this place shares the same ancestral power with me that I have this association.

Moreover, the notes of the Great Immortal Physician in the Immortal Physician's Scripture never mentioned Thousand Shadow Lake.

He forcefully suppressed the turbulent emotions churning within him, keeping his face expressionless, only revealing a hint of eagerness:

“I see. I have a deep understanding of the path of medicine, with the examples of the sages of the past... I would like to try my luck and see if I can glimpse a trace of its mysteries.”

In fact, his mind was already overflowing with doubts and curiosity at this moment.

The origin of this place resonates with one's own cultivation method, and ancient images may remain in the lake, which has also led to the discovery of a great medical cultivator.

The probability of it being purely coincidental...

Moreover, since his primordial spirit resides in the golden body, even if his main body's soul is damaged, it will not fundamentally harm him.

This means that even if setbacks occur, the losses can be controlled, making it difficult for him to convince himself not to investigate further.

Ye Zhenjun's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly as he advised:

"Young friend, you have just engaged in a fierce battle and are greatly exhausted. Your mind and spirit have not yet recovered. It may not be a good time to risk going to the lake. Why not focus on recovering first?"

"It's alright, just try it a little. If you find anything wrong, just quit immediately."

Chen Wanli spoke calmly, yet with a firm resolve.

Seeing this, Ye Zhenjun stopped trying to stop him and sighed, "Young friend, your will is firm, I admire you. Then please be very careful and keep your mind clear."

Chen Wanli said no more and chuckled softly.

If one didn't know that the person in front of them had ulterior motives and was not a good person, judging from his demeanor at this moment, he really would be a "good teacher and helpful friend".

However, given Ye Zhenjun's caution, the danger in the lake must be truly formidable; I cannot afford to be careless.

Chen Wanli turned his gaze back to the Thousand Shadow Lake, which was changing dark red.

This time, he did not completely suppress his divine sense, but carefully separated a strand, like a thread reaching out, and gently touched the calm lake surface.

boom!

It's like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil, or like a volcano that has been dormant for ages suddenly erupting!

The moment that wisp of divine consciousness came into contact with the aura of the lake, it was not swallowed or distorted, but was suddenly "pulled" in by a vast, incomparable, desolate and ancient will!

Everything before my eyes suddenly changed!

The forest, the lake, and even his companions all vanished from his sight.

What he "saw" was an indescribable, shattered void where even the laws of nature were in disarray.

The debris of countless stars drifted like trash, and a fierce energy storm swept everything away.

At the heart of the storm, two figures are locked in battle!

One of them was shrouded in a hazy, clear light, making his face indistinct. Yet, with a wave of his hand, the void was created and destroyed, and all the laws of nature were at his command.

Sometimes it transforms into chains that imprison the heavens, and sometimes into a divine spear that shatters boundaries, carrying a supreme majesty that disregards all living beings and controls everything.

At first glance, one feels a profound sense of awe and reverence, as if one has seen a true god in this world.

Even though I couldn't see her face clearly, I had a strange feeling of déjà vu!

And the person who fought against him...

Upon seeing it clearly, Chen Wanli was immediately shaken, as if struck by lightning!

That person...

It looked exactly like me!

However, his temperament was completely different; he was more aged and dignified, with an indescribable domineering aura!

There weren't many fancy changes in the laws surrounding him, only a seemingly weak but warm flame that seemed capable of igniting the void and illuminating the way home.

As the flames flickered, they seemed to resonate with the Yin-Yang True Fire within Chen Wanli's body and the core essence of the Immortal Doctor's Heavenly Scripture!

He saw "himself" holding an ancient longsword, its blade stained with blood, and with each swing, the warm flames surged.

"Emperor Xutian, I will never back down..."

He saw the fighting spirit blazing in "his" eyes, and he proclaimed himself "Emperor!"

The flames and the laws controlled by the Void Emperor hissed and melted away.

The fighting styles of both sides completely exceeded Chen Wanli's understanding of "magic" and "supernatural powers".

That's directly manipulating the fundamental principles of the Dao and altering its very foundation!

The shattered void is their canvas, and the laws of collapse are their paint!

The impact of a single scene of confrontation, containing principles and laws, far exceeded all of Chen Wanli's previous understanding.

That was not a simple clash of forces, but a confrontation and annihilation of two completely different "Tao" at the cosmic level!

"puff!"

In reality, Chen Wanli, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned ashen, his body trembled violently, veins bulged on his forehead, and his expression became ferocious, as if he were enduring unimaginable pain and shock.

"Chen Wanli!" The Dragon King, who had been watching this closely, suddenly stood up upon seeing this, his dragon eyes wide open, and looked at Ye Zhenjun. "Something's wrong! Should we interrupt him?"

Ye Zhenjun also frowned, staring intently at Chen Wanli, seemingly not expecting his reaction to be so intense.

Chen Wanli still has a great role to play, it would be such a pity if he died here!

But right now, he has no idea what Chen Wanli's situation is.

After a brief pause, he raised his hand to signal the Dragon King to calm down: "Wait a little longer. Forcibly interrupting him now might damage the very foundation of his consciousness..."

Before the words were even finished, another unexpected event occurred!

Suddenly, the listless and chaotic aura emanating from Chen Wanli changed!

An indescribable, profound Daoist aura rose from his body.

That was not a sudden increase in power, but a leap in "comprehension of the Great Dao", a touch of the fragments of the laws of "fire", "life", "destruction"!

Faint golden Dao patterns faintly appeared around him, flickering and creating a strange resonance with the spiritual energy from the lake that permeated the air, causing the surrounding light to distort slightly and the ground to tremble slightly!

"This...this is?!" Kuafu Chong's eyes widened.

"Sudden enlightenment?! He triggered a sudden enlightenment phenomenon?!" Fang Fengting exclaimed in shock, his face full of astonishment.

A group of gods and dragons gathered around.

Long Jihai licked his lips. A sudden realization? Another sudden realization?

It is said that enlightenment is a rare and precious opportunity!

Why is it so frequent in Chen Wanli?

He took a kite and gazed at the vast earth, and suddenly understood.

While observing the reflection of his image in the lake in the secluded place, he suddenly realized something!

Why don't we have moments of enlightenment while eating and drinking water?

Long Jihai looked at his father, the old Dragon King, who also looked astonished.

Ye Zhenjun's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.

How could this be? Thousand Shadow Lake... no, the ancient images preserved in this Blood Lake are violent and chaotic, full of fragments of slaughter and destruction.

Those who were able to gain some insight from it all became powerful figures who later became famous throughout the spirit world.

Chen Wanli, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, had an epiphany that even caused strange phenomena.

What secrets does this child hold?

Could he really be a cultivation genius that appears only once every ten thousand years among humans?

The strange phenomenon on Chen Wanli lasted for about ten breaths before it gradually subsided.

His tightly closed eyes snapped open, a flash of golden light appearing in them, leaving behind a deep sense of shock and enlightenment.

He did indeed gain a new direction in the integration of his own solar true fire with the cultivation technique, and a more concrete concept of "laws," which was a tremendous achievement.

But what occupied his mind at this moment was the battle scene itself, and the figure that looked exactly like himself!

It is by no means a simple reflection of the mind or a fantasy.

The realism, the clash reaching the very essence of the Dao, and the inexplicable pressure brought by the title "Emperor of the Void"...

The lake still holds images of the real battle that took place!

But why is it that the one fighting is someone else's own image?!
