Chapter 545 Achieving Sainthood
As consciousness gradually returned to his body, Shen Xu felt a sense of helplessness as he looked at the almost completely repaired Crystal Lotus in front of him.
He came to Hundred Flowers City to help the Four Sword Saints become saints, but now he has become an indispensable part of the goddess's process of becoming a saint.
After the goddess becomes a saint, the chances of the four sword saints becoming saints in the next few years are basically zero.
But he had no choice; even if he didn't choose to cooperate with the goddess, he couldn't stop her from becoming a saint.
Thinking of this, Shen Xu took out the amber that the old temple keeper had given him. He knew that the soul of Xiao Feng's mother was sealed inside.
Unfortunately, he had entrusted Xiao Feng to Shang Xueyi for her safety, otherwise the mother and daughter might have been able to see each other one last time.
In the spirit pool, the crystal lotus floated quietly in front of him.
Crystal clear, sacred and flawless.
However, a single black crack on it disrupts the overall harmony.
Deep within the cracks, a chilling aura emanated from within.
The Pure Spirit White Lotus absorbed the pure soul essence water from the spirit pool and the inexplicable power emanating from the void, constantly trying to mend itself, but to no avail.
Large beads of sweat kept seeping from Shen Xu's forehead. Those soul threads were forcibly tearing at his soul, and he was enduring indescribable pain.
Each tremor of the soul threads felt like a sharp blade slicing across his soul, the pain nearly causing him to faint.
Shen Xu gritted his teeth and used all his strength to crush the amber in his hand.
As the amber cracked, a faint, pleasant fragrance wafted out.
The sky-blue flower that was originally sealed in amber slowly emerged from the fragments and gradually transformed into a faint, almost indistinct female figure.
She sat quietly in the air, her body appearing so ethereal, yet her deep eyes were particularly striking, as if they held an endless melancholy and the tears of farewell.
"Has this day finally come..." The woman's voice was as soft as a gentle breeze, yet it carried an indescribable heaviness.
The moment she awoke, she knew her mission—to merge with the white lotus before her and become a part of this sacred object.
Although Shen Xu's body was being tormented by excruciating pain to the point of near immobility, he still endured the agony and struggled to raise his hand, using his expertise in water illusion magic to show the woman the scene of Xiao Feng leaving the temple.
“Xiao Feng…” The illusory woman reached out her palm and gently stroked it, but all she touched was nothingness.
"Thank you, kind person." The illusory woman smiled at Shen Xu.
She gazed intently at the crack on the white lotus, her eyes filled with no fear, only an indescribable clarity and relief.
"Return to the origin...call back the divine..." Countless silent prayers echoed deep within her soul.
The next moment, she transformed into a flower with a dazzling blue glow and rose into the air.
This blue light, like a shooting star burning with life, carried an unprecedented purity and instantly plunged into the cascading waterfall of light.
boom--!
The entire shimmering waterfall seemed to be infused with surging vitality, its light shining brightly.
In an instant, all colors burst forth with ultimate brilliance, colliding and merging with each other, ultimately transforming into a vast and incomparably chaotic primordial color!
This light was no longer a gentle flow, but carried a mighty force that could break through all constraints and cleanse all filth, rushing along the trajectory of the waterfall into the pure white lotus in the center of the spiritual pool.
"Crack..." The surface of the Pure Spirit White Lotus trembled violently, and a blue radiance containing the essence of a pure soul merged into the depths of the last crack in the white lotus.
Om-!
An indescribably clear and melodious voice instantly filled the entire Hundred Flowers Palace!
It was as if billions of flowers were blooming simultaneously deep within Shen Xu's soul.
The crack was instantly repaired and smoothed out by the pure divine light that erupted from within the Pure Spirit White Lotus.
The Pure White Lotus finally revealed its true form.
It no longer resembles a flower, but rather a core of light formed from the purest and most pristine laws of the Dao, brimming with boundless vitality.
Warm, perfect, and sacred, it radiates a gentle white holy light that is enough to dispel all the gloom in the world.
The profound Daoist principles flowed continuously through his soul, gradually severing the connection between the Crystal Lotus and his soul. With each disappearance of a single thread of his soul, his soul would weaken a little more.
As the last thread of connection between him and the Crystal Lotus was severed, Shen Xu quietly watched the Pure Spirit White Lotus slowly rise from the Spirit Pool and hover in mid-air, feeling more relieved than anything else.
From now on, it will have no further connection with him.
The light of the Pure White Lotus gradually enveloped the entire palace, and Shen Xu's consciousness was completely plunged into darkness, his body collapsing into the spirit pool.
The Flowing Waterfall reappeared, continuously merging with the countless soul energies from the Spirit Pool into Shen Xu's soul, slowly healing his wounds.
The network of veins in the dome lit up, projecting and condensing countless Dao runes above the Pure White Lotus.
The core of the Pure Spirit White Lotus trembled slightly, and an incomparably condensed white beam of light was projected onto every white jade lotus platform in the hall.
The white jade lotus platforms lit up with a warm light, as if in response, and wisps of the soul's essence rose up, merging and merging with the pure white pillar of light.
A hazy human figure slowly formed within the pure white lotus.
The light of the pure white lotus, like the most skillful carving knife and the gentlest furnace, began to sculpt her bones, veins, flesh, and skin on this pure "blank" surface...
A vast, silent, yet pure and sacred life force began to pulsate and awaken within this body.
She naturally exudes a peaceful and all-encompassing aura, as if she were the breath of plants, the growth of flowers, and nature itself.
Finally, all the Great Dao runes converged and were imprinted deep within this flawless body.
The white jade lotus platform returned to calm, the light stream from the dome completely extinguished, leaving only the faint glow of the spirit pool.
The pure white lotus in the sky dimmed, like a seed that had completed its mission, quietly dissipating and turning into the last speck of stardust, merging into the newly formed mark between the eyebrows, becoming one with it completely.
A perfect goddess's body lay quietly on a white jade lotus platform.
Her eyes were tightly closed, as pure and innocent as a newborn baby, yet containing a power powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth.
It was as if her very existence was a manifestation of the Tao.
As that perfect divine body appeared in the world, two love flowers emerged from Shen Xu and Li Linghui respectively.
The two colors of light, deep blue and crimson, intertwined and swirled, eventually merging into one, transforming into a primordial color of chaos that encompasses all things and is profound and endless.
It is no longer eerie, but full of sacred, perfect, and enlightened meaning!
In this chaotic light, a grander, purer, and more transcendent will is awakening from the depths of the Love Flower Imprint, from the distant river of time and space!
The eyes of the deity on the lotus platform, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened!
Those were not the eyes of an ordinary person, but rather eyes that held the cold loneliness of years gone by, yet also resembled the boundless vitality of an early spring field, where tender buds sprouted and all things began to stir.
A vast, boundless, and awe-inspiring pressure, transcending the rules of the mortal world, spread silently from the goddess, instantly reaching the entire Ningzhou!
This pressure was not domineering, but pure and flawless, containing the most primal life force, yet carrying an unquestionable supreme will that inspired awe in all things and made the laws of nature murmur.
All the cultivators in Hundred Flowers City, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a tremor deep in their souls and couldn't help but want to prostrate themselves in worship.
At this moment, all the Saint Realm experts in Ningzhou felt something and looked towards the direction of Goddess Peak.
As the chaotic light emanating from his body receded, a completely new figure appeared on the lotus platform.
She wore a dress woven from countless flowing, ever-renewing flowers and leaves, and her whole body radiated tangible manifestations of laws.
Her skin was delicate and smooth, radiating a faint, holy glow, and flowing with the luster of life.
A dazzling light spread out behind her, coalescing into a head of waist-length hair. The hair was as black as night, yet it shimmered with the light of flowing stars. The ends of the hair curled naturally, like mysterious flowers blooming in the night.
Her beauty was unparalleled, her temperament ethereal and profound, and her eyes held a wisdom and compassion that had seen through the vicissitudes of time, as well as a sense of completeness and peace.
Her very existence exudes a supreme aura of perfection and flawlessness, breathing in harmony with heaven and earth, and flowing in sync with the Great Dao.
At this moment, she is no longer the spirit of nature bestowed by heaven and earth ten thousand years ago, but the holy spirit of the Wood Way.
Centered on her, the Sacred Domain of Wood Dao silently unfolded, instantly enveloping the entire Temple of a Hundred Flowers, and rapidly spreading towards Goddess Peak and the City of a Hundred Flowers.
