Volume 1, Chapter 165 – The Disciples Break Through Together

In the main hall.

Gu Han did not absorb any of the energy released by the tower’s feedback.

For her, that energy and those fragments of Dao Resonance were no longer of much use.

Her entire attention was focused on the core of the Myriad-Phenomena Tower, where a nascent consciousness was rapidly taking shape.

Through the System, she could clearly “see” the tower spirit’s birth.

The consciousness was like a newborn infant, pure and flawless, yet at the same time vast and ancient.

It was curiously “observing” this unfamiliar world, along with the people outside the tower, each radiating a different aura.

With a thought, Gu Han extended a gentle tendril of divine sense toward the newborn consciousness.

There was no coercion, no intrusion. Like a simple greeting, it conveyed only warmth and welcome.

The consciousness recoiled slightly, then cautiously “touched” Gu Han’s divine sense.

A clear, childish voice immediately rang through her sea of consciousness, filled with unmistakable affection and dependence:

“Master…”

The smile in Gu Han’s eyes deepened as she responded through her divine sense:

“Welcome. From now on, your name will be Xiao Wan.”

“Xiao Wan… Xiao Wan likes that name! Thank you, Master!”

Rеaԁ оո ΚαtRеαԁіnɡСαfe

The consciousness of the tower spirit, Xiao Wan, rippled with delight, clearly pleased with the name.

“Xiao Wan, how do you feel? Is there anything you need?”

“Xiao Wan feels great! I’m just a little sleepy and need to sleep a while longer.”

Xiao Wan’s voice carried a trace of sheepish drowsiness.

“And Xiao Wan can sense that too much of the ‘spiritual essence’ stored in the tower has been used up…”

“The tower probably won’t be able to keep running as long as it used to.”

Gu Han considered its words briefly and soon understood.

The tower spirit’s birth had consumed the “spiritual essence” the Myriad-Phenomena Tower had accumulated over many years. This was the tower’s core energy.

Newly born, the tower spirit was much like an infant and needed time to grow and recover.

“It’s all right.”

Gu Han gently reassured it,

“Focus on recovering first. There’s no rush where the disciples’ cultivation is concerned.”

“Mhm! Xiao Wan will listen to Master!”

Xiao Wan replied obediently. Its hazy consciousness gradually fell silent and sank into slumber.

Gu Han withdrew her divine sense and turned her gaze back to the Myriad-Phenomena Tower.

The tower’s radiance had completely receded, leaving it as ancient and unadorned as before.

Its doors remained tightly shut, but Gu Han knew that once it had recovered, the Myriad-Phenomena Tower could attempt to open the floors above.

When that happened, with the tower spirit overseeing them and time accelerated within, the disciples’ cultivation speed would increase severalfold once again.

By then, the spiritual rain over the square had already ceased.

The disciples’ excitement and chatter, however, had reached a fever pitch.

“Good heavens! I just broke through an entire minor realm!”

“Me too! My spiritual power is more than twice as pure as before!”

“That was only a tiny fraction of the energy spilling out of the Myriad-Phenomena Tower! If we could cultivate inside…”

“A tower spirit! What happened just now was definitely a sign that the tower spirit had awakened!”

“I read in an ancient text that only a supreme treasure that has developed intelligence can release such spiritually potent feedback!”

“Even the artifacts in our Yaochi Immortal Palace can develop intelligence! That’s incredible!”

“It’s all thanks to the Palace Master! She bestowed this tower upon us, after all!”

Just as the disciples reveled in the joy and breakthroughs brought by the wave of Dao Resonance…

“Boom!”

A heart-stopping surge of spiritual energy suddenly soared into the sky from the direction of Yaochi!

“What’s happening?!”

“That fluctuation came from over there!”

Every disciple turned toward Yaochi in unison.

On the island at the center of the pool, beside the Enlightenment Tea Tree that had always grown in tranquil silence, emanating a hazy Dao Resonance…

A tiny figure sat cross-legged in meditation.

It was A-Yao!

At that moment, A-Yao looked completely different from her usual innocent, lively self.

Her tiny body seemed to have become a black hole that devoured everything, with an enormous vortex of spiritual energy forming around her!

All the spiritual energy throughout Yaochi Immortal Palace, along with the fragments of Dao Resonance that had yet to fully dissipate after the Myriad-Phenomena Tower’s feedback…

Surged wildly toward her like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

“Is that First Senior Sister?!”

“Senior Sister A-Yao is breaking through?”

“Wasn’t First Senior Sister only at Qi Refinement? Is she about to reach Foundation Establishment?”

“Good heavens… You’re telling me all this commotion is just her reaching Foundation Establishment?!”

Liu Ruyan shot to her feet, her gentle face showing unconcealable shock for the first time.

Reаⅾ οո КаtRеadіոɡСafе

She was closest to Yaochi and could clearly sense that the sheer volume of spiritual energy converging on First Senior Sister was far beyond anything she could have imagined!

Golden light blazed within Gu Luoli’s double pupils as she stared intently at the tiny figure in the center of the spiritual energy vortex.

Through her “vision,” First Senior Sister’s body seemed to have become a collapsing “singularity.”

A unique Dao Resonance surged out of her body, only to be drawn back in the next instant, the cycle repeating over and over.

With every cycle, her aura soared!

“This physique… This cultivation technique…”

Gu Luoli murmured under her breath. Even with the profound mysteries of her double pupils, she could not fathom First Senior Sister’s current state.

Ye Ling’er’s eyes were likewise filled with shock.

Possessing the Lunar Divine Body and cultivating the Lunar Canon, she was exceptionally sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At that moment, she could sense that all the spiritual energy within the Immortal Palace seemed to be drawn toward Senior Sister and absorbed by her!

“Master… Master said that First Senior Sister cultivates differently from the rest of us…”

Ye Ling’er unconsciously clutched the hem of her skirt, her eyes filled with worry.
