Chapter 682 - 363: Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Beneath the Bodhi Tree
The lush branches formed a canopy, shielding Zheng Yi’s head from the sky, protecting him from wind and rain.
Countless vines intertwined with the trunk, revealing the true nature of the Heaven-Cutting Vine, creating a wonderful sight.
Above the vines, seven Origin Stars shone like dark black holes, representing the essence of the Seven Treasures Skill.
More small stars grew, emitting starlight, symbolizing the foundational essence of Zheng Yi’s lifelong cultivation of various Magic techniques.
Legend has it that the Buddha attained enlightenment sitting under a Bodhi Tree.
The Bodhi Tree sheltered him from wind and rain, while the Buddha realized the essence of all beings and explored the true meaning of the Buddhist Technique.
At this moment, Zheng Yi crossed the Celestial Tribulation, fully awakening his Innate Origin Divine Body, and with the mysterious power of Taiyue Divine Venerable transmitted to the Nine Revolutions Divine Sacrificial Great Brightness Wheel, Zheng Yi also achieved a mysterious sense of enlightenment.
His entire being fell into a state of Unity of Heaven and Man, and the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree Staff behind him turned into a large Bodhi Tree, sheltering him from the elements, establishing a mysterious connection.
The Magic Seeds and Divine Power Seeds, originally hanging on the branches as stars, began to blossom and bear fruit with the supplementation of more abundant power, transforming into mature forms.
Soon, the stars detached from the branches, floating down as moving stars in the vast cosmos.
The stars formed represented the Divine Techniques and Magic nurtured over time, embodying Zheng Yi’s lifetime of learning, and were the Dao Fruit he condensed at the Nascent Soul Level.
It’s a part of his entire Cultivation System.
Suddenly, a trichromatic brilliance emitted from Zheng Yi’s head, transforming into three continuous colors, symbolizing the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
A dash of red, a hint of cyan, a touch of white.
Red flowers, cyan leaves, white lotus roots, Three Pristine Ones from One Qi are originally one.
Zheng Yi is the reincarnation of Taiyue Divine Venerable, possessing the Nirvana Technique, unraveling the Mystery of the Womb, making him an Innate Origin Divine Body.
Thus, he was born special, unlike ordinary Cultivators; even condensing the Nascent Soul, breaking the Elixir to form the Nascent Soul also differed from others.
Innately possessing unique properties.
This is akin to the Hongmeng Immortal Body which, after breakthrough, inherently carries Primordial Qi.
The Ancient Sacred Body is innately a Holy Embryo Body Refinement; there’s also the Celestial Demon Slaying Immortal Body, more mysterious and unpredictable while Zheng Yi’s Innate Origin Divine Body, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, developed its special functions.
This is the origin of his Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
They respectively represent Present Body, Future Body, Past Body, three different periods, producing the three flowers, meaning in a sense, his cultivation body and the Taiyue Divine Venerable’s body establishing the Incense Fire Divine Kingdom in the Doomsday World are originally the same body.
Or rather, they reflect each other.
Just like quantum entanglement or two sides of a mirror.
Thus, Zheng Yi’s Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, One Qi Transformed into Three Pristine Ones, allows him to birth Nascent Soul’s unique characteristic, enabling one to transform into three bodies, thereby possessing three different Nascent Souls.
This represents greater Innate Origin.
Stronger Magical Power support.
Encountering others in battle would naturally put him in an invincible position, directly fighting three against one.
This is an exceedingly powerful ability.
Though differing from the legendary One Qi Transformed into Three Pristine Ones, lacking that unparalleled capability.
Nonetheless, a single body possessing three Nascent Souls alone represents a unique structure and talent.
Three Nascent Souls sharing the same Origin Power, and having identical Energy systems, when united, the resultant force is imaginable.
At this moment, Zheng Yi seemed to sense something, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes burst with divine light, tearing through the surrounding void.
Suddenly, he reached out towards the void, producing a burst of golden light in the sky, a profusion of flowers, with the cyan flower and white flower simultaneously blooming in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
Within the red flower atop Zheng Yi’s head sat a tiny Nascent Soul Spiritual Body of Zheng Yi, which almost opened its eyes simultaneously with Zheng Yi, showing a faint smile.
The little, plump Nascent Soul immediately tapped its forehead, releasing two strands of clear Qi from the top of its skull, which instantly entered the white and cyan flowers beside it.
Having released two strands of cyan Qi, Zheng Yi’s Nascent Soul immediately weakened considerably, closed its eyes again, and sat quietly within the red flower.
All phenomena disappeared one after another, leaving Zheng Yi’s body cross-legged atop Great Snow Mountain, the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree Staff transformed into an immense tree behind him, its great canopy protecting him from wind and rain.
Zheng Yi sat cross-legged in meditation with eyes closed, one red, one cyan, one white flower on his head.
Among them, the red flower made his Nascent Soul appear shrunken, dried up, while the cyan and white flowers curled like buds.
Under the sunlight, the three flowers stood there, emitting identical auras, connected as if nurturing something.
Appearing calm, yet beneath, powerful energy surged, ready to blossom its forces, delivering an extremely terrifying impact.
This dreadful aura surged forth, yet Zheng Yi’s body seemed to return to its essence, resembling a mere mortal, apart from a slight elegant charm, without any difference.
As if all that had occurred was merely an illusion.
...
The events on Great Snow Mountain rapidly spread among the surrounding forces.
Various different pieces of information quickly reached the desks of the leaders of various factions.
All sorts of news spread, and rumors abounded.
Some said that the Snow Mountain Cultivator acted contrary to reason and angered the Great Spirit Heaven, incurring punishment.
Others said that a terrifying peerless demon was suppressed under the Great Snow Mountain, and now the demon was breaking the seal and emerging...
Completely different versions of the news were being passed around, causing chaos throughout the entire Great Snow Mountain.
The hearts of the Snow Mountain cultivators were full of despair.
No one knew which words were true and which were false.
Those with ulterior motives stirred up trouble everywhere, creating waves of turbulence.
In fact, even the people at Great Snow Mountain couldn’t figure out what exactly had happened.
Now nothing else mattered.
Let the Divine Heir awaken and everything will become clear.
After all, atop the Great Snow Mountain, the Divine Heir, who is the reincarnation of the Divine Lord, is the Stabilizing Needle.
With the Divine Heir present, any demon or outsider cannot step into this sacred domain.
Outside the Great Snow Mountain, many high-ranking cultivators, including the Eight Great Venerables, were waiting, not daring to interrupt, for fear of making a mistake.
They could only let time pass.
Fortunately, the lineage of the Great Snow Mountain, with its ancient heritage, is a pyramid-shaped system that is stable in every aspect, and even in the turbulent times, it can quickly stabilize its influence and leave no opportunity for others.
Even if Zheng Yi, as the symbolically significant Divine Heir, does not show up, several Venerables holding the fort can resolve all issues.
...
Three years later, the Great Snow Mountain trembled slightly.
Where Zheng Yi was in seclusion, the towering tree formed by the Seven Treasures Wondrous Tree Staff, like the Bodhi Tree, emitted pure and clear energy.
Everyone who got close felt that their cultivation and magic practice speed seemed to be boosted, becoming more agile and faster.
So for a long time, this place even became a cultivation sacred land for the Snow Mountain cultivators.
Only later, when several Venerables intervened and forbade anyone from approaching, did it stop.
At this moment, a boundless and terrifying aura covered the sky above the Great Snow Mountain, and that aura gradually condensed into a mass, symbolizing new life, as if nurturing something.
...
...
The surging aura rose slowly like mist, and the entire Great Snow Mountain seemed to be enveloped by a heavy cloud that lingered without dispersing.
One day, two days...
The cloud gathered in mid-air not only did not dissipate but became denser and denser. The thick aura covered that area, as if some incredibly terrifying ancient fierce beast was inhaling smoke and exhaling mist within, emanating an awe-inspiring and terrifying presence.
This place has already become forbidden ground for the lineage of the Great Snow Mountain.
Before this, all cultivators who tried to approach were driven away.
The Eight Great Venerables further established rules, placing heavy guards, with many powerful people from the Snow Mountain patrolling back and forth, setting up an incredible array pattern, completely sealing the space passages.
At this time, on a distant mountain peak, Venerable Red Sun and Venerable Celestial Water stood far away, observing the changes here, engaging in a detailed conversation.
Venerable Red Sun, with his long, heavy red eyebrows, twitched a bit and spoke.
"Since that day of crossing the tribulation, the Divine Heir has been in seclusion for three years. The outside isn’t very peaceful now..."
"As long as we hold our ground, everything else is but trivial pestilence and minor troubles."
Venerable Celestial Water, like a guardian, sat upright at the peak, gazing into the distance and spoke slowly.
"This matter cannot be rushed; we can only wait!"
Not even the Venerables knew when the Divine Heir, who had been in seclusion for three years, would emerge, let alone others.
For the past three years, interest in this matter has not been limited to the lineage of the Great Snow Mountain. However, no matter how much the outside world infiltrated, they couldn’t figure out the situation atop the Snow Mountain at this time.
Because even though the Divine Heir had not yet emerged, the aura he gathered had become an invisible mountain, oppressing this sky, covering everything.
Not to mention ordinary high-tier cultivators, even a Nascent Soul Stage expert could not approach within ten thousand meters without permission.
Moreover, this place was filled with incredible array patterns, shrouded in the mysterious power accumulated by the Snow Mountain lineage, making it almost like an array formed by the power of heaven and earth.
Though it seemed calm, undercurrents were surging, and not everyone dared to venture deep inside.
As time passed, the air seemed to solidify, and the aura emanating became even more oppressive, and this place had long been cleared; otherwise, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would not be able to withstand such immense pressure.
