Chapter 999 - 995: Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion
I haven’t set any obstacles here!
But that’s just nonsense. Nobody would impose obstacles in their own Divine Sense Realm unless they’ve lost their mind to sabotage themselves.
However, the feeling of impact just now was undeniably real, and this cannot be faked.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian couldn’t hold back his frustration anymore. The moment of enlightenment is such an important event; others receive guidance and soar to great heights, but all he got were two sentences, along with inhuman suffering.
Now, returning to my Divine Sense Realm, I encounter obstacles—even though this is my territory. Does this mean even during enlightenment moments, the Divine Sense Realm is inaccessible?
Xiao Tian suddenly opened his eyes and leapt up, his eyes widening further, along with his mouth. His gaze slowly lifted, as if witnessing something incredibly shocking!
To know that Xiao Tian’s experience is extraordinarily rich—even when he first saw treasures like the Shaking Light Disc and Megrez Stone, he did not display such loss of composure. The fact that he does now indicates he is seeing something truly extraordinary!
In Xiao Tian’s eyes, more than half of the Divine Sense Realm is now occupied by a giant palace-like building, which appears entirely transparent. Upon touching it, one can faintly see ripples forming, as if raindrops gently landing on a calm lake.
In the next moment, the palace suddenly shook violently, as if the calm lake had been hit with a huge stone, shattering in an instant. Then, as if performing magic, it shrank continuously until it became finger-sized before finally stopping.
Xiao Tian reached out to touch the palace, now shrunk countless times, and vaguely concluded that this exquisite, delicate building is his true reward from the enlightenment.
Just as he extended his hand, the palace, as if very sentient, spontaneously leaped over, emitting a force of affinity.
Once closer, Xiao Tian finally noticed that the palace, now the size of his palm, had countless tiny characters swirling around it. Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see three characters engraved on the plaque resembling a palace: Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion!
"Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion?" Xiao Tian murmured to himself, thinking about the grandiose person who created this and named it after all the world’s laws—aren’t they afraid of biting their tongue?
Given the label of Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, Xiao Tian thought of the Heart-Breaking Fruit’s poison that has troubled him for so long, wondering if this grandly named pavilion could offer some help.
As soon as Xiao Tian entertained this thought, the pavilion lying quietly in his palm emitted a burst of bright colors, and simultaneously, the tiny characters around it began transforming, ultimately converging and rushing into Xiao Tian’s mind.
What the heck!
Xiao Tian was startled by the sudden apparition, instinctively wanting to toss the pavilion away. However, the golden characters rushed into his mind first, leaving him flustered and confused.
The indescribable pain endured earlier was still fresh in memory, and Xiao Tian thought dumping the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion would be better if it repeated this ordeal.
An object without value, no matter how miraculous, is just a decoration.
But Xiao Tian waited and felt nothing significant, as if everything earlier was a fleeting illusion. The pavilion remained floating in front of him, unchanged, except for no longer being in his hand.
Yet the earlier events were too vivid to attribute them to mere illusion—if they weren’t, then what purpose did the golden characters serve when they charged at me?
Xiao Tian calmed himself, searching his mind for traces of that golden character, only to realize he unexpectedly gained many insights into medicinal knowledge, all previously unknown.
For instance, Snow Ganoderma and Dragon Flame Flower are two medicinal herbs that cannot harmonize; yet, adding Menglu Grass can neutralize the conflicting principles, turning them into a remedy for special ailments.
If Xiao Tian still could not understand that these newfound insights were the result of the golden characters, it would imply sheer ignorance.
Although no specific antidote formula was given, Xiao Tian, equipped with this knowledge, could independently concoct a remedy for Heart-Breaking Fruit’s poison.
Xiao Tian took a deep breath, calming his excitement. These insights were far more valuable than an antidote formula, which is inflexible while understanding pharmacology allows future solutions without needing specific formulas.
Amidst the excitement, Xiao Tian also realized that antidotes are merely past legacies suitable for their time; blind replication is unwise.
These insights changed Xiao Tian’s view of the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion, prompting new ideas—it could contain extraordinary cultivation techniques!
Before trying to interact with it, however, he felt a dizzying swirl.
Xiao Tian was not alarmed, knowing the enlightenment moment had ended, and he was returning to reality.
...
The first thing Xiao Tian did upon opening his eyes was direct his thought to the Divine Sense Realm, making sure the Ten Thousand Laws Pavilion still existed there before safely withdrawing. As long as it’s there, it can be studied.
Having exited the Divine Sense Realm, he saw the protective barrier that had isolated him and knew this was the middle-aged man protecting him from disturbance, so he earnestly bowed, saying, "Thank you!"
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Tian with a complex expression, then casually removed the barrier, waving his hand, "No need to be courteous."
Noticing the unusual expression on the middle-aged man, Xiao Tian frowned slightly... What does this mean?
Soon, Xiao Tian realized something more amiss; it wasn’t just the middle-aged man viewing him strangely. A significant portion of those present, all masters, also did.
This discovery left Xiao Tian somewhat baffled—was a mere enlightenment moment worth such strange glances?
Way too exaggerated, right?!
Luckily, Xiao Tian didn’t vocalize this thought, or even without exposing his real identity, people might have swarmed him with knife attacks!
Finally, unable to bear these gazes, Xiao Tian spoke up, "Why are you all looking at me like this? Did something unusual happen just now?"
