Chapter 1076: First Glimpse of the Great Dao, A Marvel Among Men!
The three looked in unison toward the Tower of Enlightenment.
Suddenly, a dazzling red beam of light burst forth from the pitch-black tower.
Shortly after...
The second beam.
The third beam.
The fourth beam...
In just the blink of an eye, the lights on the Tower of Enlightenment had already surpassed twenty.
This scene left Kunpeng and Jin Yi in utter disbelief, as though struck by lightning: "This... How is this possible? Xiao Yi had just entered the Tower of Enlightenment mere minutes ago, and he’s already sensing the aura of the Heavenly Dao?"
"T-T-Twenty-odd auras of the Heavenly Dao... Is he even human?"
Every face was etched with sheer astonishment, as if from the depths of their soul.
Because...
Before Xiao Yi, those who entered the Tower of Enlightenment took over ten breaths of time.
Just ten breaths!
Yet he had already sensed the force of the Heavenly Dao, and furthermore, successfully captured it.
In the Tower of Enlightenment, the act of comprehending the Heavenly Dao...
Once one captures the aura of the Heavenly Dao, the tower emits a corresponding beam of light.
And now...
The over twenty beams of light that had appeared signify Xiao Yi had successfully detected and captured the aura of the Heavenly Dao.
Jin Yi shook his head like a rattle drum: "Impossible, how can this be? Back when I comprehended the Enlightenment Stone, it took me an entire hour to detect and successfully capture ten auras of the Heavenly Dao. Xiao Yi has only been here for mere breaths, and he... He’s already been recognized by twenty-plus auras of the Heavenly Dao?"
The record Jin Yi set back then while comprehending the Enlightenment Stone was one he could boast about for a lifetime.
But now...
His lifelong crowning achievement was utterly shattered by Xiao Yi.
"Speedy comprehension means nothing; let’s see how long he can persist... Detecting and capturing the Dao aura so quickly might just be a coincidence or heaven-defying luck to stumble upon it..."
Jin Yi kept comforting himself, clenching his fists tightly, muttering to himself, "Yes, that must be it!"
Meanwhile, Kunpeng furrowed his brows deeply.
His expression, heavy with worry, was laced with growing anticipation.
"No wonder Nantian, that old coot, held him in such high regard. To detect and capture over twenty auras of the Heavenly Dao in mere breaths — even during the Ancient Times in the Hall of Longevity, this was unprecedented!"
An unstoppable glimmer pulsed in Kunpeng’s eyes as he struggled to contain his excitement. Clenching his fists tightly, his gaze flickered with exhilaration and expectation, "How did this brat manage it? How many auras of the Heavenly Dao will he be able to capture in the end?"
Meanwhile...
Inside the Enlightenment Space.
Xiao Yi focused his mind, setting himself wholly within the Enlightenment Space. There, he felt his Divine Sealing Tree tremble uncontrollably within him, so he instinctively summoned the Divine Sealing Tree forth.
When the towering Divine Sealing Tree descended upon him...
Its jade-green leaves swayed endlessly in the wind, emitting gentle rustling sounds.
For the first time, the Enlightenment Space reverberated with sound.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Divine Sealing Tree quivered suddenly, and streams of sealing power merged into the Enlightenment Space before him.
Swoosh...
With the infusion of the sealing force...
The Enlightenment Space underwent earth-shattering changes.
Brilliant streams of light filled the entire space.
These lights were a segment of the Heavenly Dao aura Xiao Yi had already sensed and captured. The aura of the Heavenly Dao now saturating the Enlightenment Space had exceeded one hundred.
And now...
Less than an hour had passed since Xiao Yi entered the Enlightenment Space.
"No wonder the Enlightenment Stone makes comprehending the aura of the Heavenly Dao so convenient. Moreover, with the Divine Sealing Tree aiding me, these auras of the Heavenly Dao are utterly exposed, like candles flickering in the dark..."
Xiao Yi stood amidst the pitch-black expanse.
In his eyes...
The trembling Divine Sealing Tree cast rippling green glows, under which vibrant and dazzlingly radiant lights sparkled like agile sprites, dancing freely between heaven and earth.
These lights were breathtakingly brilliant.
Xiao Yi plucked them with ease.
With the Divine Sealing Tree’s support and Xiao Yi’s innate sensitivity to the aura of the Heavenly Dao, he was able to grasp and capture the Dao aura with extraordinary speed.
"I wonder how long this Enlightenment Space will last. I need to capture it quickly..."
With a look of excitement, Xiao Yi began capturing the Heavenly Dao aura.
From the hundred auras of the Heavenly Dao he had just grasped, Xiao Yi realized he’d progressed one-tenth of his way down the path of the Great Dao.
It meant capturing one thousand auras of the Heavenly Dao would allow him to take a single step on the Great Dao.
He refocused his mind, moving through the Enlightenment Space with even faster precision.
The Heavenly Dao aura he captured grew exponentially.
Two hundred.
Three hundred.
Four hundred...
Time flew by rapidly.
Outside the Tower of Enlightenment.
This time, it was Jin Yi pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing toward the Tower of Enlightenment: "Why hasn’t it ended yet? Does this guy have no limits at all?"
Fifty hours had passed since Xiao Yi entered the Tower of Enlightenment.
And now...
The surroundings of the tower glowed resplendently, with myriad beams of magnificent light bursting forth into the heavens.
It resembled a multicolored gem glittering radiantly.
Moreover.
The lights within the tower continued to grow.
They had already surpassed four thousand.
And were nearing five thousand!
Keep in mind...
Even in the Hall of Longevity during the Ancient Times, studded with countless strong cultivators and blooming with geniuses, the record for first comprehending the Enlightenment Stone was only slightly over five thousand auras of the Heavenly Dao!
Xiao Yi was defying the heavens!
The Ancient Times and the present were entirely different eras!
During the Ancient Times, the Heavenly Dao in the Qingtian Realm was whole...
The Azure Heaven Continent had not yet fractured.
At that time, comprehending the Heavenly Dao was far easier. After the Ancient Times, however, the Enlightenment Stone became the possession of Kunpeng. Jin Yi knew full well that the most terrifying record set in recent years was by that prodigy from Tianya Haige, hailed as the top talent among Qingtian Realm’s younger generation.
That prodigy stayed for fifty-three hours, sensing and capturing as many as four thousand nine hundred auras of the Heavenly Dao.
Now...
Xiao Yi was nearing that threshold at unprecedented speed.
Fifty-one.
Fifty-two.
Fifty-three hours...
When Xiao Yi spent fifty-three hours within the Tower of Enlightenment, he had already captured over five thousand auras of the Heavenly Dao, completely surpassing the prodigy hailed as Qingtian Realm’s top young talent.
And now, what lay before him was the record set during the Ancient Times!
This achievement astonished Kunpeng and the others. They saw him as a marvel among men.
Yet...
They could never have imagined that when Xiao Yi eventually emerged from the Tower of Enlightenment, he would completely rewrite that record to an even more terrifying, unparalleled level — one never seen before or after him...
