Chapter 24: The Awakening of the Enlightenment Tea Tree? Terrifying Breakthrough Speed

In the main hall of Luo Heaven Sect:

"You're saying that there's an Annihilation Realm expert involved?" After listening to the news brought back by the Second Elder, Luo Wuzhen furrowed his brows slightly.

He found it hard to understand how an Annihilation Realm expert could appear within Moro Kingdom.

Even if they encountered one, they could simply reveal Luo Heaven Sect's identity, and the opponent would never dare to act recklessly and kill them!

Could it be that this person was not from the North and had come from another place, intending to join the forces entering the secret realm two months later?

"Yes, Patriarch. According to Wu Feiyang's words, the person who took action should have the strength of the Second or Third Heaven of the Annihilation Realm. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for them to kill the Ninth Heaven elder with just one move. I believe Wu Feiyang didn't lie," the Second Elder reported.

The Second Elder dutifully reported the information he had gathered and expressed his thoughts and judgments.

"Hmph, even if it's the Annihilation Realm, so what? We'll wait for them to try and wipe out Luo Heaven Sect in half a month. Let's see who this mysterious figure is!"

Luo Wuzhen snorted coldly.

"We are in the open while the enemy is in the dark. Spread the word that our disciples should avoid going out as much as possible during this half month to avoid being targeted."

Luo Wuzhen was confident in his own strength, although he couldn't be completely sure that the person who took action was at the Third Heaven of the Annihilation Realm. Additionally, within Luo Heaven Sect, he could rely on the sect's grand formation.

Even if he faced someone at the Sixth Heaven of the Annihilation Realm, he could still hold his ground, and even against the Seventh Heaven of the Annihilation Realm, he could protect himself.

He already had some speculations in his mind. From Zhang Tianze, he learned that the girl named Leng Yanran from the Leng family possessed a special physique, extremely suitable for being used as a cauldron.

He presumed that the person who took action must have seen this and took Leng Yanran, planning to further cultivate her before using her for his own purposes, thus helping the Leng family.

However, trying to showcase his strength by stepping on Luo Heaven Sect was clearly not a wise move.

"Yes, we'll take our leave."

The numerous elders departed, leaving Luo Wuzhen to let out a long sigh, his brows furrowing as he closed his eyes, lost in thought.

The sudden death of their sect's chief disciple had ruined any hope of gaining benefits from the secret realm in two months.

These days, it had given him endless worries, and he had cursed the mysterious Annihilation Realm expert countless times in his heart.

.........…

At this moment, the mysterious figure that countless people were concerned about was comfortably sleeping and dreaming outside a small pavilion. The Enlightenment Tea Tree seemed to bend its branches together to form a natural hammock, and lying on top was none other than Chen Daoxuan.

The branches of the Enlightenment Tea Tree occasionally emitted traces of Dao rhyme, which made Chen Daoxuan sleep even more peacefully.

But as time passed, it seemed as if he was attracted by the Dao rhyme of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and faint Dao rhyme emerged around him.

No, it was not Dao rhyme; it was the Three Thousand Great Dao itself!

Unconsciously, the Enlightenment Tea Tree began to tremble slightly, not knowing if it was excited or scared.

After a while, the Enlightenment Tea Tree even emitted a soft green light and with a rumble, it grew nearly twice its original size! Not only did the tree trunk grow taller, but it also sprouted many new branches, where tender, new tea leaves slowly unfurled.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree actually had an enlightenment because of the Dao rhyme on its owner!?

"Huh? Was I still half-asleep? Why does the Enlightenment Tea Tree seem to have grown taller?"

Chen Daoxuan was also awakened by the sudden commotion just now. Stepping down from the vine chair, rubbing his eyes and yawning, he looked at the clearly much taller Enlightenment Tea Tree in a daze.

As if sensing his confusion, the Enlightenment Tea Tree stretched out a branch and gently touched his hand, transmitting a thought to his mind

[I just had an enlightenment just now when I saw the Dao rhyme on my master.]

"What the heck?"

Chen Daoxuan couldn't help but widen his eyes upon hearing this message and burst out with a coarse exclamation. At the same time, he felt a bit sad.

Other people could gain enlightenment by drinking the Enlightenment Tea, but all he could taste was its flavor. That was bad enough.

But now, the Enlightenment Tea Tree gained enlightenment by watching him? Is that even fair?

So, everyone could have enlightenment, even the Enlightenment Tea Tree itself, but he couldn't?

"Forget it… Well, although there's no need to sleep to replenish energy within the Heavenly Dao Hall, it's indeed comfortable to have a nap.

"Besides, if there's no cultivation to do, what else can I do without sleeping? I wonder how Yanran's cultivation is going."

Chen Daoxuan could only sigh helplessly, lamenting the unfairness of fate. Even a tree could gain enlightenment by observing him, but he couldn't gain any enlightenment himself.

Meanwhile, the Enlightenment Tea Tree, with its limited intelligence, couldn't comprehend either. In its eyes, its master was already surrounded by the Three Thousand Great Dao. Why did he still persist in seeking enlightenment? Isn't its master already the embodiment of the Dao?

It seemed that its master's realm was too high for it to understand. That must be it; after all, how could such a formidable person like its master make any mistakes?

Although Chen Daoxuan's realm itself was only at the third level of the Condensation Realm, he was an all-powerful existence within the Heavenly Dao Hall. Thus, the Enlightenment Tea Tree's current thoughts were born from this perspective.

With nothing urgent to attend to, Chen Daoxuan decided to study the basic array he had exchanged from the system once again.

Time always flew by during cultivation.

In the Heavenly Dao Hall, the level of the spiritual liquid pool, which was wrapping around Leng Yanran, slowly decreased as she absorbed its contents.

At first, only half of her neck was exposed, but after two days of cultivation, the terrifying absorption power of the Chaotic Demonic Art had lowered the water level to her chest, clearly revealing her collarbone.

This pool of spiritual liquid was combined with myth-level marrow-washing pills and the leaves of the Enlightenment Tea. By absorbing so much of it, her cultivation had silently broken through two small realms, reaching the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm!

Moreover, due to the presence of the Enlightenment Tea, she had been in a state of enlightenment, and the rapid breakthrough did not bring any hidden dangers to her foundation.

As time passed day by day, Leng Yanran's aura continued to surge. The fluctuations caused by her realm breakthrough occurred again and again in the hall.

Fortunately, this awe-inspiring scene went unnoticed by others; otherwise, they would surely exclaim at the monstrous talent displayed. Even the geniuses of the cultivation holy grounds wouldn't experience such rapid breakthroughs, which seemed as simple as drinking water!

Nearly every two days, she would break through one realm after another!
