Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1075 - 1073: Comprehending the Dao is Difficult, as Difficult as Ascending to the Heavens!

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1073: Comprehending the Dao is Difficult, as Difficult as Ascending to the Heavens!

"How could this thing possibly be the Enlightenment Stone?"

Staring at the pitch-black stone before him, Xiao Yi looked utterly bewildered.

The stone was incomparably smooth.

Not a single blemish could be found on its surface, as if it were a black mirror.

When Xiao Yi stood before it, he could clearly see his reflection within the stone.

But most importantly...

The stone gave Xiao Yi a sense of déjà vu.

Especially its texture.

It was unmistakably like the stele he’d once seen in the mysterious spiritual lake of the extreme southern region—one that produced Source Stone Elixir!

The only difference was that the stele in the southern region bore some engraved characters.

While this stele was completely devoid of any markings.

"Is this the Enlightenment Stone? Then what was that one in the extreme south?" Xiao Yi couldn’t hide the confusion in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he sat cross-legged before the Enlightenment Stone.

Kunpeng’s voice echoed from the void: "Place your palm on the Enlightenment Stone, focus your mind, and comprehend the Great Dao within it!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Alright!"

Xiao Yi nodded and cautiously placed his palm onto the surface of the Enlightenment Stone.

Buzz!

The moment his hand touched the stone.

The entire Enlightenment Stone trembled violently, emitting brilliant black light that instantly clung to Xiao Yi’s palm and spread rapidly up his arm.

Before long, the light enveloped his entire body.

In that instant.

Xiao Yi and the Enlightenment Stone fused into one, becoming a single entity shrouded in sleek, radiant black light.

Xiao Yi’s vision and spiritual perception were both consumed by the same pitch-black darkness.

It was as though he had entered a world of complete darkness.

No sun, no moon, no light.

No mountains, no rivers, no wind.

No animals, no humans...

It was a world devoid of life.

Standing in this desolate realm, Xiao Yi felt insignificantly small and utterly helpless, unable to see his own hand in front of his face, or even discern where he was standing.

Nor could he fathom what might be lurking in the shadows.

In such an environment.

Fear and restlessness could easily consume a person.

Xiao Yi opened his mouth to call out, but this world seemed to have silenced everything—even his voice could not be heard.

If one were to gaze down from a high vantage point...

Xiao Yi appeared to be trapped within a spherical world of darkness.

In this world, Xiao Yi was like a single grain in the vast Azure Sea.

Utterly insignificant.

Meanwhile...

Outside the Tower of Enlightenment, Little Lin paced anxiously back and forth, occasionally casting a worried glance at the tower.

Gold Yi stood by with his arms crossed, leaning nonchalantly against a wall. Impatiently, he said, "Stop pacing, you’re making my eyes hurt. This process will wrap up soon—comprehending through the Enlightenment Stone doesn’t take that long!"

"Wrap up soon? Comprehending the Great Dao is an incredibly lengthy process though..." Little Lin debated.

Gold Yi smirked and replied, "Normal comprehensions may take forever, but the Enlightenment Stone is an entirely different matter. It was the very stone that the Hall of Longevity’s first Hall Master meditated upon to attain the Great Dao. It’s infused with the Hall Master’s myriad realizations of the Great Dao..."

As Gold Yi explained, Little Lin grew even more intrigued by the Enlightenment Stone.

Typically, Supreme Venerates comprehend the Great Dao by attuning themselves to nature, thereby capturing even the faintest thread of the Great Dao aura.

It was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Those with exceptional talent and keen awareness of the Great Dao aura might quickly and accurately grasp the essence, reaping enormous benefits.

But for others less attuned to the aura.

They might struggle endlessly to capture even a shred of essence.

Or what they do capture might be utterly insubstantial...

Progress would naturally be slow!

But the Enlightenment Stone was different...

It was the very stone the Hall of Longevity’s first Hall Master meditated upon during his breakthrough, absorbing countless fragments of the Great Dao in the process.

Comprehending before the Enlightenment Stone was equivalent to standing on the shoulders of a giant and leaping forward.

It naturally started at a much higher point.

Progress advanced far faster!

"Comprehending the Dao is harder than ascending to the Azure Heaven..."

Gold Yi swept a glance toward the Tower of Enlightenment and continued, "During such a process, the Enlightenment Stone pulls the individual into a unique Enlightenment Space. Within that space, it’s utterly dark and chaotic. Unless one can capture the Great Dao aura, they will be immersed and eventually consumed by the space. That oppressive area of pitch darkness, deafened to sound and devoid of all light, can drive a person to madness. Back then, I only endured for an hour and captured just ten threads of the Great Dao aura..."

"An hour? That’s way too short! And only ten threads of aura? What’s there to brag about?" Little Lin asked, baffled by Gold Yi’s self-satisfied expression.

Gold Yi: "..."

He felt an urge to curse.

Even during the Ancient Times, brimming with geniuses, his feat of capturing ten threads of Great Dao aura within an hour was extraordinarily rare and exceptional.

And yet, Little Lin dared belittle him?

Gold Yi rolled his eyes and retorted indignantly, "Do you even understand how challenging it is to capture the Great Dao aura?"

Kunpeng nodded and said, "Gold Yi is right—capturing the Great Dao aura is exceedingly difficult. Even with the assistance of the Enlightenment Stone, a powerful cultivation artifact, many still fail to capture any Dao aura. As far as I know, during the Ancient Times in the Hall of Longevity, the most monstrous geniuses only managed to endure for thirty hours and capture 5,600 threads of aura..."

Hiss!

Little Lin involuntarily sucked in a sharp breath.

During the Ancient Times.

When the Qingtian Realm was still intact and the Azure Heaven Continent hadn’t fractured, the Great Dao aura was far more potent than it is today.

Even in such optimal cultivation conditions.

The strongest individuals only managed thirty hours of meditation and 5,000+ threads of aura?

Which goes to show...

That even with the Enlightenment Stone’s aid, capturing the Great Dao aura was no easy feat.

"I wonder how long Boss can endure, and how much of the Great Dao aura he’ll be able to capture..." Little Lin looked toward the Tower of Enlightenment with deep worry.

Gold Yi replied nonchalantly, "Xiao Yi’s talent is indeed exceptional. I’d guess he’ll last about an hour and capture around twenty threads of aura!"

"Won’t it be more than that?" Little Lin hesitated.

Gold Yi shrugged and said, "I was already being optimistic!"

Kunpeng nodded slightly, ready to speak, but his expression suddenly changed dramatically. His face showed utter disbelief, his gaze fixed firmly on the direction of the Tower of Enlightenment, as he exclaimed in shock, "Impossible..."

"What?"

Gold Yi and Little Lin were equally stunned, unable to comprehend what had caused Kunpeng’s rare moment of losing composure.

The two instinctively turned their eyes toward the Tower of Enlightenment.

And upon seeing...

The three of them exchanged looks filled with shock and disbelief...
