Chapter 1841
"Hmph, I can't be bothered with your private affairs."
Seeing Chen Xuan's stubbornness, the small tower floating in mid-air suddenly paused, the ancient runes flowing on its surface slightly faltering. Its tone shifted abruptly, and it began to earnestly admonish him again.
"However, finding so many Dao partners is a double-edged sword for achieving Dao."
"The advantage is that you can overcome the tribulation of love in advance, and move the hurdle that may have blocked you for thousands of years to the present, thus laying a solid foundation for achieving the Dao."
"But the downside is even more fatal—you form a Daoist partnership with them, have children, and grow the tribe from a few people to thousands or tens of thousands. Every additional bond adds an unbreakable karmic ties."
The small tower flew slowly, its blue-and-white runes flickering slightly.
"These causes and effects will entangle your Dao heart, becoming shackles when you eventually unite with the Dao. The tighter they entangle you, the harder it will be for you to break free. The slightest mistake will result in the collapse of your Dao foundation."
"I understand." Chen Xuan nodded slowly, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing his cuffs, a knowing look flashing across his eyes.
"With more entanglements on one's body, one's Dao heart is like being shrouded in layers of fog, and even the perception of the Great Dao is no longer pure, so the difficulty of merging with the Dao naturally increases several times over."
"Exactly." The little tower's voice held a hint of approval, and the runes' glow softened slightly.
"But if you can get through this tribulation of love, your strength after achieving Dao will definitely far surpass that of other cultivators of the same level. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many minor realms for Immortal Kings, Dao Lords, and Eternal Realms? Only those who can overcome this insurmountable chasm of the tribulation of love can be considered to have truly touched the threshold of achieving Dao."
Chen Xuan suddenly chuckled softly, looked up at the little tower, and deliberately teased it:
"According to you, why don't I find hundreds more Dao partners before my first Dao Integration, making my love tribulations even more terrifying? Once I get through them, wouldn't I be able to crush Dao Lords even though I'm at the Immortal King realm?"
"Hmph, theoretically, that's not wrong." The tower suddenly slumped, as if startled by these words, its runes suddenly glowing blindingly, and even its voice carried a sharp, warning tone.
"But if you really dare to do that, once you get entangled in the tribulation of love and can't get away, forget about achieving eternal Dao, you probably won't even be able to touch the threshold of Dao, and in the end you can only watch your Dao foundation decay little by little!"
wow——
Just then, the magic array light barrier not far away suddenly trembled, and a white figure fell from the light. It was Bai Li, the girl who had completed the true blood conversion.
She transformed back into the familiar white-dressed girl, her skirt still tinged with lingering dragon energy. When she landed, her bare feet lightly touched the ground, not even raising a speck of dust.
Upon seeing this, Xiaota immediately removed the spatial barrier surrounding Bai Li. The transparent barrier dissolved like ripples in water and disappeared into the air.
"Master!" As soon as the spatial barrier was removed, Bai Li's gaze instantly locked onto Chen Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged under the Enlightenment Tree. Her eyes shone brightly as if they were studded with stars. She rushed towards him as her skirt fluttered, her voice full of undisguised joy.
Chen Xuan also stood up, and had only taken two steps forward when Bai Li pounced on him.
The girl's aura had completely changed—
Previously, Bai Li's physical body still carried some of the aura of a great demon, but now it was surrounded by the sacred pressure of the True Blood Dragon Clan, and even his hair was filled with a faint dragon saliva fragrance, warm yet exuding an undeniable nobility.
"Master, thank you..." Bai Li wrapped her arms tightly around Chen Xuan's neck, rubbed her face against his cheek, and her voice trembled with excitement.
"If it weren't for the opportunity bestowed upon me by my master this time, Bai Li would never have been able to revert to his ancestral form and become a true blood dragon in this lifetime."
Seeing that the master and servant had both emerged from seclusion, the little tower clearly didn't want to stay and be a third wheel. With a slight turn, the tower and the primordial spirit of the Enlightenment Tree transformed into two points of light, which, like shooting stars, streaked into Chen Xuan's brow and disappeared in an instant.
With the departure of the little pagoda and the primordial spirit of the precious tree, the backyard of the Golden Summit of Tangwu Mountain became completely quiet, leaving only the figures of Chen Xuan and Bai Li embracing each other. The wind blew through the back vegetation and leaves, casting dappled light and shadows on the two of them, adding a touch of warmth.
