Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior

Time flows back slightly, as the Li Family members transform into black shadows, rushing upward.

At a leisurely pace, Su Mu ascends step by step.

"Boy, this mountain may have a connection with you."

The fish-shaped Jade Pendant on his chest trembled slightly, accompanied by a fearful trembling of the Gu Insect beneath it. The Sun Family Ancestor spoke spontaneously and fell silent before Su Mu could question him.

Su Mu’s eyes lit up, but he said nothing further, quickly recalling Li Yao’s words from not long ago. Perhaps the connection spoken of by the Sun Family Ancestor was the White Jiao mentioned by Li Yao, which failed to transform into a dragon.

"Connected to me, is it....."

An opportunity significant enough for the Sun Family Ancestor to mention must be substantial. Yet, Su Mu did not force it, as heavenly materials and earthly treasures belong to those with fate. The path of cultivation he sought was perhaps different from that of all the cultivators in this world.

The comprehension panel was Su Mu’s greatest opportunity and creation, one known to him alone.

The Li Family members gradually receded into the distance, later overtaken by disciples of the major powers in a gust of wind, leaving Su Mu as a distant silhouette.

As the human figures retreated, the mist grew denser on the stone steps.

Su Mu alone seemed to roam as if on an autumn excursion, each step serene. The mountain path was tranquil, the air silent but for the solitary birds.

He lifted his eyes slightly, surrounded by void, able only to discern the faint outlines of stone steps enveloped within the swirling mist. Where these steps led was unclear.

Upon looking back, he found the same.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling arose within Su Mu’s heart.

It seemed as if, in this vast world, he was the sole being remaining, with the going path obscure and empty behind him, and in that moment, he sensed a profound discontent, a discontent boundless to the utmost, from a millennium prior.

Cultivation of a thousand years, only to glimpse the chance for dragon transformation. Yet the merciless lightning destroyed its body, extinguished its divine soul, leaving it unfulfilled!

That extreme discontent swiftly morphed into anger, hatred, an unending flood of negative emotions rushing into Su Mu’s brow, seeking to ravage his consciousness and attempt to seize his body.

Su Mu’s brow furrowed, and he snorted coldly.

"A Jiao dead for a thousand years dares to disturb my spirit!"

With a thought, the black and white ’Heart’ on his chest that was unfinished suddenly shone brightly, its brilliance immersing upwards, amid a scream revealing the White Jiao’s form in his consciousness.

The black and white light surged like a storm, transforming into a hundred-zhang bronze script in the sea of consciousness, bright red haze swept as a rolled blood cloth sealing the White Jiao within.

"Zizz——!"

The White Jiao struggled like a trapped beast, emitting rolling black energy, with cries of anguish. The negative emotions were expelled by the black and white heart, revealing a fragment of memory from its life before Su Mu’s eyes.

That memory belonged to the White Jiao shortly after its birth, in its naive period, at dawn when it opened wide to absorb the primal energies of the world driven by intense hunger.

This dawn marked the transition of day and night, where sun and moon briefly coexisted, the sun’s utmost yang and firmness, and the star and moon’s gentle coolness were wholly devoured into the White Jiao’s body.

As an innate cultivator, the Demon Beast was exemplary, with White Jiao being among the best, possessing the ability to draw upon the sun and moon’s strength at birth.

The path of the White Jiao was not suitable for Su Mu, but there was still merit to it.

Su Mu’s figure paused,

standing alone among the mountains.

Step step!

Another step was taken.

The mist beneath his feet rippled like waves, sending circles of ripples outward, and the Five Elements Technique began to operate naturally at this moment.

Su Mu seemed to grasp something, lost in thought, with his pace quickening.

Gold Element Divine Skill’s gold breathing.

Wood Element Divine Skill’s wood breathing.

...

Earth Element Divine Skill’s earth breathing.

Su Mu slightly parted his lips, constantly switching between the five types of breathing, as the Five Elements Spiritual Qi roaming the heavens and earth were devoured by Su Mu. However, Su Mu still felt it wasn’t fast enough, efficient enough.

The Five Elements system’s foundation within his body was extremely solid, yet in practice, it appeared somewhat cumbersome, whereas the White Jiao, exemplary among Demon Beasts, was noticeably more efficient and potent concerning breathing.

He could completely incorporate it and make it his own!

With the terrifying comprehension of 184 points supporting him, Su Mu’s consciousness shook violently, transforming into a series of small black shadows within his eyes.

The Five Elements Technique therefore operated more smoothly and swiftly thereafter.

When the speed of the five breathings reached its utmost, Su Mu was immersed within a marvelous state.

It seemed as if it wasn’t him operating the Five Elements Technique, nor him stimulating the cultivation technique for breathing, but the Five Elements breathing actively guiding Su Mu himself, soaring upward!

Buzz——!

Standing independent of the world, all external appearances completely vanished from Su Mu’s eyes at this moment, and Su Mu could only hear, and perceive, his own breathing growing ever peculiar.

The wheel of Five Elements breathing spun, collided, interwove, and then fused into one, gradually simplifying into two breathings.

Just like the newborn White Jiao in the memory fragment, one yin and one yang!

Whoosh whoosh——!

Everything fell into place, the Five Elements breathing technique at this moment transformed into a yin-yang integrating Yin-Yang Breathing Technique.

Su Mu’s spiritual power naturally unleashed, merging with Bai Jiao Mountain and everything upon the mountain, causing the shadow of the White Jiao to faintly appear behind Su Mu, then concentrate upon the dragon mark on his shoulder.

After the black and white heart purged the intense discontent of its falling negative emotions, as it was about to completely dissipate, the pure essence of dragon power was instinctively drawn to this dragon mark, to reside and merge within.
