Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

only……

Rong Shan's gaze drifted, and he felt utterly incredulous.

what is this?
Did he and Lingyu stumble upon this opportunity out of nowhere?

They clearly came to visit Huai Dan.

The moonlight that was bathing him suddenly became brighter, even more dazzling than the midday sun. Rongshan was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was just an illusion.

But there are always some people and some things that cannot be explained by illusions, aren't there?

"Huai Dan, Huai Dan..."

Rongshan muttered to himself.

Zhang Lingyu also lowered his voice: "Ninth Senior Brother, just now, it was all Senior Brother Huaidan's fault..."

Now that things have come to this, even the most obtuse person can see the truth clearly.

Who else could be involved in this danger and this opportunity but Zhang Huaidan?
I glanced at the closed door not far away. I couldn't see Senior Brother Huai Dan's face, but he was clearly inside.

Zhang Lingyu felt the changes in her body, her eyes filled with longing.

In an incredible way, Senior Brother Huai Dan gave him and Ninth Senior Brother a chance in the blink of an eye.

"Did he do it? Did he do it?"

Rong Shan seemed to have fallen into an even deeper state of mind, his lips trembling uncontrollably. Under Zhang Lingyu's somewhat worried gaze, Rong Shan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "If it's not him, then who else could it be?"

Everything he experienced in such a short time left him more bewildered than the most illusory dream.

He understood, he had known for a long time, that Huai Dan's cultivation had reached a level he could only look up to.

The time before last, Huai Dan's competition with Senior Brother Da Hu and Senior Brother Huan Jin was right before his eyes.

From that moment on, he realized with absolute certainty that, in terms of cultivation alone, Huai Dan was someone his senior brother could only look up to but never reach.

The last time he returned to the mountain, the divine light he saw there gave him an even stronger feeling, as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open!

It not only shone into his eyes, but also into his heart and his soul.

Therefore, he understood on a deeper level that being able to hope for something but not reach it was already the best possible outcome.

From the high place where Huai Dan stood, his senior brother couldn't even see him!
But what does it matter now?
Rongshan's gaze went blank as he stared at the door not far away.

Huai Dan was inside, without a doubt, but he couldn't see her.

With a slight smirk, Rong Shan revealed an extremely bitter smile.

Zhang Lingyu muttered to himself, "Ninth Senior Brother, shouldn't we be happier the more powerful Senior Brother Huaidan is?"

Rong Shan said firmly, "I'm happy, of course I'm happy. Huai Dan is my pride, and the pride of everyone in the Celestial Master's Mansion!"

This is his truest thought!

Becoming Zhang Huaidan's senior is something many people dream of.
but……

Zhang Lingyu glanced at him subtly, but Rong Shan's bitter smile did not disappear.

Zhang Lingyu was in a bind. What on earth was Ninth Senior Brother thinking?

Is it simply because he is Huai Dan's senior brother?
Rongshan remained silent.

Everything that happened tonight was more incredible than anything I could have imagined.

Huai Dan didn't even show his face; it was just a change in the atmosphere that put him and Zhang Lingyu in danger.

The end result was indeed a stroke of luck, and both of them gained extremely rich rewards.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be overjoyed. Even Zhang Lingyu, after the initial shock, couldn't hide the happiness on his face.

But Rongshan saw another side, a side that made him uneasy, an answer that his senior brother found hard to accept.

Doesn't that mean that if Huai Dan wanted to, he could destroy this extraordinary person who had cultivated diligently for decades with just a wisp of his aura? What is that? What does decades of cultivation mean?
Rongshan felt both deeply proud and deeply disappointed.

Zhang Lingyu said softly, "Ninth Senior Brother, shall we go in and see Senior Brother Huaidan?"

"Look! Why aren't you looking!"

Rong Shan took a deep breath, suddenly perked up, and strode across the courtyard to the door.

'Boom boom! '

The crisp sound echoed, seemingly disturbing the moonlight in the courtyard, and accompanied by the faint sound of the tide, my heart was also stirred.

After a long silence, the two were slightly startled.

Zhang Lingyu's expression suddenly changed. Senior Brother Huaidan had been restless all day. Although the tide they had just heard had a good outcome, could it also be a sign of Senior Brother Huaidan's emotional turmoil?
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingyu shuddered. If that were really the case, it would be a bit too exaggerated.

Senior Brother Huaidan's emotional fluctuations caused such an absurd change.

Rong Shan's expression also changed slightly. He didn't care about anything else and quietly pushed open the door.

Separated by just one door, the sound of the tide the moment the door opened was ten or a hundred times louder than in the courtyard. It was no longer just a tide, but a raging storm!

The two opened their eyes wide. Zhang Huaidan, sitting cross-legged in the room, seemed like the sea itself.

Rong Shan's thoughts shattered instantly. Hearing the sound of the tide in the courtyard, he was still able to struggle for a while, but finally regained consciousness thanks to his life force and cultivation.

However, at this moment, this aura was completely unstoppable, as it had already exceeded his capabilities.

The last thing I saw was Zhang Huaidan's open eyes.

……

"Huai Dan..."

"Senior Brother Huaidan..."

The two made dazed sounds and remained in an awkward posture. If Zhang Huaidan hadn't been supporting them, they probably would have already knelt on the ground.

Zhang Huaidan gave a jerk of his arm, steadying the two men. Looking at the somewhat bewildered pair, he smiled and said, "You two, what are you doing sneaking in here late at night while I'm cultivating? You have nothing better to do than sneak in."

He sensed something when the two entered the courtyard, and was quite surprised by what he found.

Unexpectedly, the aura he exudes now is enough to intimidate a superhuman of the Ninth Senior Brother's level.

This was something he wouldn't have believed in the past, even for him.

How could Rongshan, who has cultivated both body and mind for decades, be so weak and frail?

Even though he was shaken to his core last time and almost knelt down, it was because he was intimidated by the divine light from his Niwan point, which was a suppression based on the method.

But this time it was completely different; his aura emanated naturally, without him expending any effort whatsoever.

This situation surprised Zhang Huaidan as well. After careful analysis, he understood the reason.

The main reason is that he had attained enlightenment and was engaged in spiritual practice, which unconsciously aligned him with that path.

That path is of indescribable difficulty; it surpasses the four immortal paths of earth, gods, humans, and ghosts, and even surpasses all life!

Even the slightest connection with it possesses incredible power.

Ninth Senior Brother and Lingyu were mercilessly crushed by the Great Dao.

Furthermore, Zhang Huaidan can only achieve a slight degree of harmony with the teachings when he delves deeper into cultivation.

Normally, the aura it emits wouldn't have such an exaggerated effect.

However, it's enough to deter one or two petty thieves.

At this moment, Rong Shan gradually came to his senses. Looking at Zhang Huaidan, who was smiling broadly, he still felt a sense of unreality.

I couldn't help but ask myself, what was wrong with him just now?
In that instant, my mind shattered, and even my soul couldn't remain for half a second, let alone my physical body.

It wasn't that I was intimidated, nor was I shocked; it wasn't even an instinct.

It seems to be an omnipresent rule, just as the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers and the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.

Naturally, this physical body should kneel down.

Rong Shan gazed intently at Zhang Huaidan, who smiled slightly.

At this moment, Zhang Lingyu also woke up, looking at the two of them with a blank expression. Suddenly remembering the purpose of their visit, she said, "Senior Brother Huaidan, it's good that you're alright. Senior Brother Jiu and I were worried that Master must have given you a good scolding."

Patting his chest and looking at Zhang Huaidan's face, he finally calmed down.

Unlike during the day, Senior Brother Huai Dan showed no signs of being restless at this moment.

That smile and laughter, on the contrary, gave people a sense of peace.

"fine."

Zhang Lingyu smiled and nodded: "Then we'll start with... Ninth Senior Brother, you..."

Rong Shan remained motionless. His cultivation was far superior to Zhang Lingyu's, so his vision was naturally much broader.

Deep down, I'm still pondering this.

Looking into Zhang Huaidan's smiling eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "Huaidan, let me see your divine light!"

Zhang Lingyu was baffled.

Zhang Huaidan was surprised. His Ninth Senior Brother hadn't cultivated for nothing all these years. Could it be that he had seen through something?
Zhang Lingyu blinked: "Ninth Senior Brother, what are you planning to do?"

Rong Shan remained silent, only gazing at Zhang Huaidan with an unusually serious expression.

Zhang Huaidan smiled and said, "Okay."

His vital energy had recovered to a certain extent, and in an instant, divine light reappeared, condensing into a faint halo behind his head.

The moonlight outside, illuminated by this divine light, suddenly turned pale, as if all its splendor had been washed away.

Between heaven and earth, only this divine light shines brightly.

Zhang Lingyu stared blankly. Although it wasn't the first time she had seen it, she was still easily overwhelmed with shock. In an instant, a surge of emotion welled up within her, and an impulse to kneel down was so strong.

It was as if I saw real gods and Buddhas standing before me, and any hesitation would be a great disrespect.

He clenched his fists instinctively.

It was extremely difficult to overcome the urge to kneel down.

His eyes were still glazed over. How was Brother Huai Dan's divine light from the Niwan point any different from that of the legendary gods and Buddhas?

My senior brother did it without my knowledge.

They were already on the path to becoming gods or Buddhas.

Zhang Huaidan withdrew his divine light and said with a smile, "Alright, it's getting late. I'm fine, everyone go back."

The urge to kneel subsided like a receding tide, and the overwhelming shock in my heart vanished in an instant.

Zhang Lingyu scratched his head, only to see Rong Shan trembling slightly all over.

"Senior Brother Rongshan, what's wrong?"

Rong Shan remained silent, only gazing at Zhang Huaidan.

The divine light of the Niwan Palace was indeed dazzling and vast, inspiring awe and reverence, but it was not uncontrollable.

As long as you have this idea and this will, even an ordinary person can do it.

Gods and Buddhas are indeed great and incredible, but I don't believe in you, and I'm not afraid of death, so what can you do to me?

The faint feeling I had just experienced had absolutely nothing to do with willpower.

Rongshan even felt that...

Even gods and Buddhas need to be worshipped.

The moment the thought arose, Rongshan shuddered as if struck by lightning, an uncontrollable sense of absurdity erupting from almost every pore of his body.

What a joke.

As an extraordinary person who has achieved some level of spiritual cultivation, he also finds it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in the claims of gods and Buddhas.

But one thing is certain: if gods and Buddhas truly exist, they must be beings standing at the pinnacle of the path of cultivation.

If one is only capable of being worshipped by others, how can one ever worship others?

Seeing his startled expression, Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but feel uneasy: "Ninth Senior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Rong Shan regained consciousness, took two deep breaths, and still looked confused: "Huai Dan, what... what exactly happened just now?"

He is not someone who likes to pry into things.

I also know that everyone has their own secrets, even those who are as close as family.

But the thought that arose in his mind was utterly absurd.

Rong Shan couldn't completely convince himself; at this moment, his eyes held a hint of pleading.

Zhang Lingyu was stunned for a moment. He didn't have such a clear feeling, but he knew that when he came to his senses, if it weren't for Senior Brother Huaidan supporting him, he would probably have already knelt down.

Hearing Rongshan's question now, I couldn't help but ponder deeply. Yes, what exactly happened before that?
Did Senior Brother Huai Dan release the Niwan Divine Light?

That doesn't make sense either. He was able to control his impulse even when he was bathed in that divine light.

Zhang Huaidan shook his head: "I can't explain it either."

Under Rong Shan's blank gaze, he smiled and said, "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name."

Zhang Lingyu was completely bewildered, while Rong Shan's pupils contracted slightly, as if deep in thought.

……

The two left.

Zhang Lingyu scratched his head and asked, "Ninth Senior Brother, what did Senior Brother Huaidan mean by that?"

As a member of the Taoist sect, it's impossible for him not to know that saying.

Even if they are not from the Taoist sect, they have probably heard of them.

However, Zhang Huaidan's words just now left Zhang Lingyu confused, making her wonder if she lacked the necessary aptitude and completely unable to understand.

"Ugh!"

Rong Shan sighed: "Huai Dan doesn't know."

Zhang Lingyu's lips twitched slightly. Trying to fool a child, huh?

Rong Shan's expression was complicated as he added, "Perhaps Huai Dan really doesn't know, or doesn't know how to say it. Maybe he can describe it, but no matter how clearly he explains it, neither you nor I will know."

Zhang Lingyu looked at Rong Shan with a head full of questions.

Rongshan gave a wry smile: "In short, that's something that neither you nor I can understand."

He understood the unspoken meaning in Zhang Huaidan's words, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

In a word.

If you haven't reached that level, saying more is pointless.

Therefore, Huai Dan's meaning is not that he himself does not understand, but that he is unable to make him and Zhang Lingyu understand.

……

Zhang Huaidan, inside the room, continued his cultivation.

However, this time, the sense of harmony was gone.

In fact, he didn't understand as clearly as Rong Shan thought. This great path that transcends everything cannot be comprehended in a moment.

Once you've sorted out your thoughts, there's no need to feel too much regret now that that feeling is gone.

If he persists on this path, he will surely be able to gain a new understanding.

Silence returned to the surroundings.

Only the sound of breathing rose and fell.

The vital energy within his body recovered even faster. (End of Chapter)
