Revelation of the Way of Heaven

"Are you ready? We'll be spending the next forty-nine days in this temple, which might be a bit boring," Qin Xiaochuan asked Guo Shiyi.

"I'll never be bored as long as I'm with you," Guo Shiyi said with a smile.

So the two sat cross-legged in front of the Heavenly Stele, their hands touching. As soon as their yin and yang spiritual energies came into contact, they immediately began to merge. Qin Xiaochuan opened his spiritual space and pulled Guo Shiyi in. Guo Shiyi looked at the golden energy flowing on the Heavenly Stele and couldn't help but say, "This is the Heavenly Stele. It truly is a creation of heaven and earth."

"It's a pity time was so tight, otherwise you could have seen a lot more on the Heavenly Stele," Qin Xiaochuan said, standing behind her.

Guo Shiyi said nonchalantly, "It's okay. We've already seen it in Crescent City, it's just that the scenery is different. Let's get started."

So Qin Xiaochuan took her hand, and then the two of them used their other hands to form several hand seals. A Tai Chi image appeared on the ground, and the Tai Chi Yin-Yang Formation was officially generated. At the same time as the formation was generated, the life force in the Breath Soil was immediately attracted and transformed into a powerful green life force through the transformation of the Yin and Yang power of the formation.

Qin Xiaochuan used his spiritual energy to guide the green life force into the golden energy of the Heavenly Stele. Upon contact, the golden energy seemed to be stimulated by something, and without Qin Xiaochuan's guidance, it spontaneously absorbed the life force that was constantly spreading from the magic array.

After completing all this, Qin Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief. This matter concerning the safety of all people had finally gone smoothly without any mishaps in his hands. All he needed to do now was patiently persevere.

"The speed at which my spiritual power grows here is amazing!" Guo Shiyi exclaimed. "Maybe after forty-nine days, I'll be able to reach the peak of level 9." She said happily.

Guo Shiyi's words were true. The Heavenly Stele could accelerate the cultivation speed, and the Yin-Yang power of the two of them could also accelerate the cultivation speed. Moreover, the life force emitted by the Taiji Yin-Yang Array was exactly the same as her wood-type spiritual power, which also had a very good supplementary effect on her. Her cultivation speed here was even far greater than when she was in the cultivation room in New Moon City. In fact, she could reach the peak state of spiritual power level 9 in less than forty-nine days.

"Look how happy you are." Qin Xiaochuan smiled at her. He could understand Guo Shiyi's feelings. Back then, he improved at a speed visible to the naked eye under the Heavenly Stele, which was far more shocking than what Guo Shiyi was experiencing now.

"Of course! That way, I'll be able to catch up with you again right away, hehe." Guo Shiyi said, making a face at him.

Qin Xiaochuan just smiled and looked at her with affection without saying a word.

"Xiao Chuan, what are your plans after we finish things here?" Guo Shiyi asked.

Qin Xiaochuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I didn't intend to become the Blood Witch King, but I will help the Blood Witch Clan break their curse. After seeing the merit-based economy system of Yunmengze, I had an idea. I plan to refer to Yunmengze's model and build a new democratic system in New Moon City. Then, I'll leave the rest to them. After that... we'll go back to Huaxu and become lowly demon hunters. While helping Huaxu deal with the threat of monsters, we'll live our free and easy lives. What do you say?"

"Okay, I'll support you no matter what you do," Guo Shiyi said with a smile. "It's good that you're not the Blood Witch King; you can enjoy life to the fullest."

"Yes, just like Fan Li, who took Xi Shi on a boat trip across the Five Lakes. Then we'll travel the world together." Qin Xiaochuan became happier and happier as he thought about it, as if a happy tomorrow was just around the corner.

"Of course it would be great, but I'm worried you won't be able to relax so easily. With your current strength, you'll definitely have a lot of people looking for you," Guo Shiyi said.

"Then let's just take things as they come. Whatever happens, it's all part of life experience, there's no difference," Qin Xiaochuan said nonchalantly. In fact, he wasn't thinking too much about the future; his current mindset was to live in the present.

Guo Tianming peered through the temple gate. The entire temple was filled with light in shades of blue and green. Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi sat upright in the light. Through the light, they could see the Heavenly Stele. After absorbing life force for a long time, its wrinkled outer shell had peeled away, revealing a yellowish-brown color. The spiritual root of this ancient Jianmu tree had regained its vitality and was constantly pushing deeper into the ground. Guo Tianming felt that if it could grow into the legendary giant tree, its roots must keep going down until they spread throughout the entire snow mountain.

With only one day left until the 49th day of the seventh month, and the merit-making process was about to be completed, Guo Tianming still felt a vague unease in his heart. He expanded the range of the birds' patrols in the vicinity, but found no danger.

The sky cleared, a rare sight in Kunlun Ruins. For most of the forty-plus days they had been waiting, snowflakes drifted down, and the sky remained hazy. Even on snowless days, the wind howled and the clouds lingered. But today, the sky had truly cleared. The bright sun hung high in the sky, its golden rays bathing every patch of snow. The clouds had lifted, revealing a pure azure blue—a color that brought peace to the soul, carrying a serene and sacred feeling.

In the azure sky, Guo Tianming could vaguely see a twinkling star hanging directly above them, foreshadowing some major event. Moreover, the thin clouds in the sky seemed to be drawn by some force, all drifting up to their sky and swirling continuously, gradually forming a pattern resembling the Tai Chi symbol.

"Look what this is?" A voice suddenly broke Guo Tianming's thoughts. Zhao Changyu's disciple, Luo Hao, was pointing to a section of the temple wall and asking. Guo Tianming walked over and saw a cluster of pure white flowers growing on the mottled stone wall. Guo Tianming had never seen such a flower before, and the flower was really strange. It was very slender and looked very soft, yet it grew from stone, which made no sense.

"This is an Udumbara flower," the monk said excitedly, his eyes wide as he gazed at the white blossoms, his gaze filled with shock and fervor.

"What kind of flower is the Udumbara flower? I've never heard of it before," Luo Hao asked curiously.

"Buddhist scriptures record that the Udumbara flower blooms once every three thousand years. When it blooms, a Chakravartin king and a Buddha will surely be born. I never expected it to bloom here. Could it be that..." The monk's voice grew more and more excited.
