A life of clearness

Chapter 176 Flower Appearance
The scenery that Miss Dugu mentioned needs to be seen at night is behind this small building.

There are small pavilions and flower corridors for people to rest. Rong Qing let Zhong Xiu sit on her lap and hug her. As the night deepened, it was inevitable that it would become cooler.

The night-blooming cereus they were facing had not yet opened, but fireflies were roaming around, with bright lights on their tails flying around in the darkness.

"We have to wait for a while." Rong Qing said softly, "A Xiu, go to sleep for a while. I will call you when the flowers bloom."

"Not too sleepy." After saying that, he yawned loudly.

"Go to sleep." Rong Qing raised her hand and gently stroked Zhong Xiu's back.

Zhong Xiu didn't say anything else, and fell asleep with his head resting on Rong Qing's neck. His breathing gradually became consistent with Rong Qing's.

Rong Qing shook her body gently, but her eyes were fixed on the flickering lights in the night.

This illusion... was like a beautiful dream. There was no sadness or sorrow. It was unlike anything she had experienced before.

"It would be nice if time stopped here." Rong Qing thought so. But she soon realized that this was wrong. If she was just greedy for Zhong Xiu lying safely in her arms at this moment, then who would come to save Zhong Xiu in reality?
"I will take good care of you." Rong Qing whispered to Zhong Xiu in her arms.

This promise could not be heard by Zhong Xiu in the illusion, nor by Zhong Xiu in reality. More importantly, Rong Qing said it to herself.

She didn't need anyone to hear it. Rong Qing always believed in doing things well before taking credit. Words without action were just empty words.

……

Time passed by bit by bit. More and more fireflies flew out from the surrounding flowers and trees, gathering or dispersing, shining brightly.

Cui Qiniang and the others were already accustomed to such beautiful scenery, so they all waited outside the courtyard. They would only respond if there was any instruction.

Rong Qing had been watching these fireflies dancing for a long time. As she watched, a bright light gradually appeared in her eyes.

The radiance in her eyes came from her Dao Seed. Since Rong Qing was conscious, her Dao Seed was naturally "awake".

That ray of light went straight through her mind.

It seems to connect cause and effect, the past and the future.

And it seems, just itself.

The firefly tracks in front of Rong Qing were chaotic and disorderly, and most people would not care about or even remember them. But Rong Qing was different. Compared with the endless light in the Light Origin Monument, these few light spots and tracks were nothing.

To remember, easy.

What’s more important…is perception.

Rong Qing stared at this place for a long time, as if she had returned to the method of observation when she first realized the Tao. This is the most direct method, and it is also the most challenging to one's understanding!

However, Rong Qing had already vaguely grasped the direction during the day, and when he practiced the method of observation again, many inspirations came to him.

Those inspirations are like the light of fireflies in the night before us, flickering and elusive, but they also light up the darkness.

"Eternal life..."

"The origin is not gone..."

Rong Qing's thoughts raced, and in a moment, tens of thousands of thoughts arose, collided, and disappeared.

This should have been an extremely mentally exhausting practice, but not only did she not feel tired, she gradually became excited.

At this moment when no one is watching, the ordinary body emits a faint glow, like divine light.

"...almost there." Rong Qing's body trembled slightly, and countless brilliant ideas gathered in her mind, cheering beside her Tao Seed.

Just one more step, and all the shackles will be gone, and there will be a bright future. Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew from the lake, passing through the lush flowers and trees, passing through the iron bells hanging under the eaves, passing through the carved courtyard gate, and falling into Rong Qing's hair.

At that moment, the sound of flowers blooming rang in Rong Qing's ears.

An extremely bright flower suddenly blossomed in Rong Qing's mind. Even if the petals were bent and drooped, the center of the flower would once again burst out with bright light to form new petals.

Flowers bloom and fall without stopping... this is the eternal cycle.

……

When Zhong Xiu was gently awakened by Rong Qing, he cried out softly.

The snow-white night-blooming cereus flowers in front of me opened one after another, their petals were soft and slender. They had been hidden for a long time, waiting to bloom at this moment and stun the world.

Zhong Xiu didn't dare to touch it, so he could only look left and right, staring at it.

"This time, I am grateful to Miss Dugu for her kindness." Rong Qing thought to herself. If she hadn't taken the initiative to propose it, she wouldn't have known there was such a place, let alone stayed here.

Of course, it's hard to say, Rong Qing can't feel it in other places. But if we have to assume everything, it will be meaningless.

Rong Qing’s gains this time were enormous!

It is not easy to comprehend the Tao Seed. Even if you can enter the Forest of All Dharma Steles, you will only have the opportunity to greatly increase the chance of comprehending the Tao Seed if you encounter a Tao Stele. This shows how difficult it is to comprehend the Tao Seed.

It was so difficult for Rong Qing to comprehend the first Dao Seed. She herself did not expect that she could actually deduce a brand new Dao Seed by comprehending the Dao Rhythm.

Simply incredible!

Even the geniuses of the Xuanfeng Realm, such as Yan Wuji, Shen Zhanyan and others would be jealous when they heard about it.

With this, Rong Qing is qualified to be among the geniuses of the world.

Even Rong Qing herself felt that she was too amazing. But at least she was not carried away by it and was able to think about why.

why?
"I clearly couldn't comprehend the Dao Seed at all... I'm trying to comprehend the Dao Monument, and I'm trying to observe Shen Zhanyan's Dao Seed..."

Compared to the past, Rong Qing's performance today was like a revelation. Although the possibility of comprehending a new Dao Seed when comprehending the same origin is much higher after comprehending a Dao Seed successfully, it didn't take Rong Qing that long. If those geniuses who had been in seclusion for a hundred years knew about this, how embarrassing it would be.

Rong Qing pondered, "My first Dao Seed was made possible by Chu Yuan."

"When I was cultivating with him, I once went to his sea of ​​consciousness. There... it was as if I was standing among the countless steles in the Forest of Steles of All Dharmas."

It is not a Dharma monument or a technique monument, but a Tao monument!

In Chu Yuan’s sea of ​​consciousness, all the paths gather together!

So after the joint practice was over, Rong Qing realized the origin of light.

So after the joint training ended, Rong Qing kept wondering what Chu Yuan was...
"Now it seems that the benefit he gave me was not just to help me realize the Tao Seed, but also to help me become more powerful in my understanding?"

"Indeed, even if I don't contemplate the Dao Monument, and just contemplate natural things, my inspiration is endless."

If Rong Qing were to comprehend the Dao Monument with her current enhanced comprehension...how terrifying would the speed of her comprehension be?

Rong Qing couldn't imagine.

She only knew that the Dao Seed and Dao Rhyme she had just realized would be her most powerful trump card. With this... Rong Qing thought of the other-worldly god whom she had asked the Sword Master to guard before entering the illusion... With this Dao Seed and Dao Rhyme, she would be invincible.

"Since my heart is moved by the fleeting bloom of the ephemeral flower, it is called the flower blooming." Rong Qing thought to herself.
