The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 27 Absorbing the King of Immortal Grass, Spirit Evolution

Where the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire meet, under a cliff three thousand meters behind.

A golden-red lotus blooms proudly in the purple soil. Its colors are brilliant and dazzling, like the most gorgeous clouds in the sky at dawn, or like the golden waves on the sea under the afterglow of the setting sun, interwoven with endless wisdom.

The amazing thing is that in the center of this golden red lotus, there is a ten-centimeter-long Bodhi tree. The trunk of the Bodhi tree is crystal clear, as if it were carved from pure crystal, with lush branches and leaves, full of green, but emitting a faint red luster, which complements the lotus. The fusion of the two is not at all incongruous, but full of the meaning of perfection.

This is the king of immortal herbs - the Bodhi flower of enlightenment.

The Bodhi tree has been a symbol of enlightenment and wisdom since ancient times. According to legend, it was under the Bodhi tree that Sakyamuni Buddha sat in meditation for 49 days, and finally attained enlightenment. Now, it grows on this golden red lotus, and in harmony with it, it brings the light of wisdom, truth and enlightenment to the extreme.

The enlightenment bodhi flower is the perfect display of worldly wisdom. From the lotus to the bodhi tree, they all emit a soft and dazzling light. This light is not only visually brilliant, but also a baptism and enlightenment of the soul. Under the shining light, Wu Tong seemed to be able to hear the melodious Sanskrit sound and feel the deepest connotation of wisdom.

Wu Tong looked at the enlightenment bodhi flower in front of him, and then looked at the sky. It was still daytime, so there was no need to rush. Then, Wu Tong sat cross-legged next to the enlightenment bodhi flower and began to circulate his soul power. The pattern of the heart's eye appeared between Wu Tong's eyebrows, and Wu Tong aimed his heart's eye at the enlightenment bodhi flower.

Mind's eye·Perspective; Mind's eye·Insight

As the mind's eye emitted a faint light, the internal structure of the fairy grass in front of him appeared clearly in front of Wu Tong.

Just as Wu Tong was obsessively observing the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, he did not notice that as Wu Tong was watching, a barely detectable golden light flew out from the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, followed Wu Tong's line of sight, and sank into Wu Tong's brows.

After entering the center of the eyebrows, the golden light spread everywhere. After a while, it hit a white light spot and was instantly swallowed up by the white light spot. After swallowing the golden light spot, the white light spot seemed to be awakened and began to move its body.

The white light spot felt the vast space of consciousness and swayed its body as if it was very satisfied. Then, like a husky without a chain, it began to frolic in the sea of ​​consciousness. After a while, it sprinkled some white powder into the sea of ​​consciousness, dyeing Wu Tong's sea of ​​consciousness white.

The white powder was gradually absorbed by Wu Tong's sea of ​​consciousness, and his sea of ​​consciousness was also gradually expanding.

As the white powder was absorbed, Wu Tong felt that his thinking became more acumen and his brain worked faster, as if an accelerator had been installed, making him smarter.

"Hmm? Could it be that observing the Bodhi flower can also improve wisdom?" Wu Tong felt the speed of his brain running, thought doubtfully, and then he sighed. It was worthy of being the product of Buddha's enlightenment, and it was indeed extraordinary and magical.

Then he looked more carefully at the Bodhi flower in front of him that was emitting the light of wisdom.

As the saying goes: "When you focus on something, time flies by fast."

Unconsciously, Wu Tong, who had just finished observing the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, was thinking about the structure of the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower. Time slipped away quietly and it was night in the blink of an eye.

Wu Tong, who was still thinking, suddenly felt a vibration on his arm. He looked down and saw a soul guide used for timing was vibrating wildly on his wrist, reminding Wu Tong that it was already midnight.

Wu Tong looked up and saw a bright moon hanging in the night sky. It was as round as a carefully carved jade plate, emitting a soft and clear light. It hung quietly above the sky without a single flaw, so perfect that it was breathtaking.

"A full-moon night?" Wu Tong looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky and raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something. He lowered his head and saw that the petals of the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, which were originally half-closed, were slowly opening up, and the whole flower was radiating a brilliant golden glow.

"Is it... ripe? Is it such a coincidence?" Wu Tong felt incredible as he looked at the Bodhi flower with its petals fully spread out in front of him. Although he had confidence in his wisdom and kindness, Wu Tong had planned to wait for a few months. His expression immediately froze. After all, such a coincidence was obviously problematic!
However, when it comes to being able to control the time when the spiritual plants mature, Wu Tong can only think of two possibilities: either it was done by the world, or it was done by the Buddha who can reflect the diversity.

But no matter what any big boss did or thought, or any other reason, Wu Tong had no way to resist. After all, with his current strength, he was not even a pawn, but an ant.

There is a saying that goes, if you can't resist it, then just enjoy it. Maybe it's just a coincidence?

Thinking of this, Wu Tong still had hope that it was just a coincidence, so he reached out to the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower. Just when Wu Tong was ready to accept the test from the King of Immortal Grass, Puff!

A sound similar to that of a carrot being pulled out of the ground was heard. Wu Tong easily pulled the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower out of the ground and it lay quietly in the palm of Wu Tong's hand.

Looking at this scene, Wu Tong could almost cry without tears. If the strange maturity time before could be said to be a coincidence, then the scene before him was definitely confirmed. Even the promised trial was gone. If this wasn't an inside story, what was this?
But Wu Tong knew that his opinion could not change the boss's mind, so he could only absorb the magic grass first, complete the evolution of his martial soul, and then take it one step at a time.

Without thinking any more, Wu Tong directly followed the instructions in the Complete Explanation of Immortal Herbs. He first took out the Bodhi tree in the center of the flower and placed it on top of his head. Then he swallowed the remaining petals one by one into his stomach. After swallowing them all, he used his soul power to smash the remaining part and squeezed out the golden-red juice.

This juice is called Bodhi Blood in the Complete Explanation of Immortal Grass. Of course, this Bodhi Blood is not referring to Tang San's hidden weapon, but the juice of the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, that is, blood. Swallow the Bodhi Blood into your mouth, and then throw the residue aside.

Afterwards, Wu Tong sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice the Red Wheel Heart Sutra to refine the petals and Bodhi blood in his mouth.

As Wu Tong began to refine, the Bodhi tree placed above his head gradually floated up and hovered above Wu Tong's head. As Wu Tong practiced, the Bodhi tree began to drop strands of crystal-clear energy.

As time passed, Wu Tong's aura became stronger and stronger. After the wisps of energy entered Wu Tong's head, they were swallowed up by the white light spots in Wu Tong's mind like a whale swallowing the sea.

As Wu Tong refined all the petals and bodhi blood in his body, the bodhi tree above his head squeezed out the last ray of energy. After the white light spot absorbed the last ray of energy, a huge energy fluctuation suddenly erupted. This energy did not cause any harm to Wu Tong. Instead, it surrounded Wu Tong, condensed, and crystallized... Finally, Wu Tong was wrapped in a huge white light egg.

After the light egg condensed, the white light spot began to merge into Wu Tong's martial soul and began to merge with Wu Tong's martial soul. Only a white light egg was left floating in the air, absorbing the energy of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire and the world, transforming Wu Tong's body.

Wu Tong, who was wrapped in it, felt very comfortable and closed his eyes. Then, like a baby that was put back into the mother's womb and conceived anew, he curled up and floated in the middle of the light egg.

……

And on the other side.

Dugu Yan opened her big, tender eyes, feeling her body which had been completely renewed after refining the magical herb and the tremendous power within her body. The corners of her mouth lifted up, and a smile appeared on her delicate face.

In order to stretch his body which had become stiff after sitting for a long time, Dugu Yan circulated his soul power. As his soul power was mobilised, a new martial soul emerged behind him.

Under the deep and mysterious night sky, a black two-headed dragon slowly emerged. The dragon was dozens of feet long, and its entire body was covered with black scales as deep as the night. Each scale seemed to absorb all the light around it, making it almost blend into the night. Only under the faint light of the moon or stars could one vaguely catch a glimpse of the faint light flowing between the scales.

The two dragon heads have their own characteristics. The left dragon head is ferocious and terrifying, with cunning and madness flashing in its vermilion pupils. A dark green crystal is embedded in the middle of the two horns, which is evolved from the green phosphorus snake.

The dragon head on the right side appeared more solemn and steady, exuding a calm and imposing aura. An ochre-colored crystal was inlaid in the middle of the dragon head's horns. Its amber eyes revealed the rock-type firmness and calmness, which was transformed from the consciousness of the earth dragon Jingua.

The black dragon's body is sinuous and strong, and every swing seems to stir up the wind and clouds, causing a slight tremor in the surrounding space. Its limbs are thick, and its claws flash with cold light, easily tearing the hardest rocks or trees. And its long tail is like a black steel whip, which can be a deadly weapon in battle and also keep the body balanced and stable when flying.

Looking at the majestic and domineering black dragon in front of him, Dugu Yan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

"Haha, Yan'er, is this what your martial spirit looks like after it evolves? It's really good. I think it must be one of the best martial spirits among the top ones."

Just as Dugu Yan was admiring her own martial soul, Dugu Bo, whose martial soul had also evolved, came to the wooden house, looked at the domineering black dragon in front of Dugu Yan, and began to praise.
