The cultivation of the psyche is much more troublesome than the mere improvement of cultivation.
But long ago, cultivators in the cultivation world discovered that if the psyche suffered severe trauma and then recovered, its resilience would be enhanced.
This is the principle of "breaking in order to establish."
This is actually a method of psyche cultivation.
However, even knowing this method, no one dares to practice their psyche this way, because if the injury is too light, it has little effect, but if the injury is too severe, no one can guarantee a complete recovery.
This is essentially gambling with one's own future.
Within the Warm Divine Lotus, Lu Ye suffered hundreds to thousands of psyche traumas, and under the power of this supreme treasure, he could always recover perfectly. Each time he broke and then stood again, his psyche's resilience at this moment was unparalleled throughout the stellar space, ancient and modern.
The vast Soul Power poured into his body, and Lu Ye felt no discomfort at all; on the contrary, he was extremely delighted.
Immersed in such comfort, his mind became empty, and his expression gradually calmed.
Several days later, Lu Ye gradually felt a sense of fullness, indicating that even with the current resilience of his soul body, the capacity for Soul Power had reached an extreme limit.
Without any apparent reason, Lu Ye felt as if a path appeared before him, a path to the heavens in psyche cultivation.
With a thought, in the next moment, his psyche returned to its position.
In the Divine Sea, the soul body revealed itself, sitting cross-legged upon the seven-color Divine Lotus. The seven-colored sunlight blossomed, bathing him within, warming his entire body.
As the Soul Power fluctuated, the seven-colored sunlight became brighter, gradually enveloping Lu Ye's figure.
After a while, the seven-colored sunlight seemed to have a mind of its own, flowing into Lu Ye's soul body as if being absorbed.
The light gradually dimmed until it completely disappeared.
The seven-color Divine Lotus vanished without a trace, undoubtedly having been completely refined into Lu Ye's body. From now on, this seven-color Divine Lotus from the Lotus Pond would be fused with Lu Ye's soul body.
A seven-colored light began to gather and then blossom at the brow of the soul body.
A small motif suddenly formed, appearing at first glance like a big sun, but upon closer inspection, revealing traces of many petals, resembling a lotus flower shrunk thousands of times, imprinted there.
The Divine Flower, has been formed!
This undoubtedly means that Lu Ye's cultivation has truly stepped into the Peak Sun Blaze level, reaching the standard for establishing the Dao foundation.
There was no imagined excitement, as Lu Ye had Insight into this result beforehand, but nevertheless, it is still the result of many years of effort, and he was very happy in his heart.
The birth of the Divine Flower made Lu Ye feel that his entire soul body was somehow different. This change was not merely strength, but a sort of smoothness, an immaculate smoothness, indicating that his soul body had no flaws. Even if others had the same soul body intensity as him, he could easily win in a mere soul battle.
There might be other benefits, but for now, he could not investigate them.
He slowly opened his eyes, and Lu Ye respectfully gave a salute: "Thank you, Elder!"
If it were not for the Warm Divine Lotus on this journey, he would have emerged from seclusion five years ago. If that had happened, he would have inevitably discovered that he could not condense the Divine Flower, realizing the underlying problem much later.
Compensating for it then would have taken a long time.
The Warm Divine Lotus remained as always, without reaction, but Lu Ye knew it possessed its own will. Otherwise, it would not have continuously trained him for five years.
Now, having reached the Peak Sun Blaze level, he should be able to effortlessly handle the power of eight Dao, and in an outburst, handling nine Dao shouldn't be an issue.
Thinking this in his heart, Lu Ye urged the power of eight Dao and found that indeed, he could handle it effortlessly, without any pressure.
He then urged nine Dao, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Because he discovered that wielding nine Dao now also posed no pressure.
This made him realize that the change in his soul body had significantly improved his own foundation; otherwise, wielding the power of nine Dao without pressure would not be possible.
Ten Dao?
Thinking this, he urged a trace of Dao force again, and this time he did feel some pressure, though it seemed not very great.
At the Beginner level, there's indeed no notion of ten Dao; nine Dao is the limit. But if one has an affiliated treasure to utilize, they can wield the power of ten Dao.
This had been validated by Lu Ye and others long ago in the Star Abyss.
Therefore, ten Dao is the power exerted by cultivators, not a standard of cultivation. In terms of cultivation, after nine Dao, one reaches the level of Dao Fusion. Even the weakest Dao Fusion can exert the power of twenty Dao, and because of this immense power disparity, Dao Fusion is utterly undefeatable for the Beginner level.
Lu Ye's current strength has undoubtedly reached the limits of the Beginner level.
He was quite satisfied with this. Now, with the Three Blossoms gathered and having reached the Peak Sun Blaze, it was time to return to the All Phenomena Ocean to establish his own Dao foundation.
He had waited too long for this day.
Without delay, bidding farewell to the Warm Divine Lotus, Lu Ye quickly exited the ancestral land space and, through the stellar space pond, returned to the Nine Provinces galaxy.
Just as he returned to the stellar space, Lu Ye furrowed his brow and looked down at the back of his hand.
The next moment, he changed direction and hurried toward the location of the Thousand Mounds Cemetery.
Days later, at the Nine Provinces, Lu Ye swept into the domain.
He immediately sensed the difference in the Nine Provinces, the nature's spiritual energy was extremely rich, spirit mist was steaming above various spirit mountaintops, full of meteorological phenomena, and he perceived that a Spirit Jade Vein had already been formed within the Nine Provinces.
Moreover, there were no fewer than five hundred Sun Blaze cultivators, cultivating in seclusion across the Nine Provinces, each location where they cultivated had pure, rich Spiritual Energy.
Before the Tianzhou Governor's Hall, Lu Ye descended and came to the doppelganger of the Reincarnation Tree, bowing in salute: "Tree Elder!"
No response ensued, until after a long wait, a faint voice reached Lu Ye's ears: "This cycle of reincarnation will be short, only a few decades, or long, over a hundred years; the stellar space is entrusted to you all."
"Tree Elder, rest assured, when you awaken, the stellar space will still be just as it was."
The sapling swayed, and the last shriveled leaf fell with the wind, as if completely losing vitality, transforming into a dead tree.
The Reincarnation Tree truly entered the state of reincarnation, a state where the Tree Elder would fall into a deep sleep, but prior to this, he had already transferred his consciousness to the Nine Provinces, onto this doppelganger.
In other words, this seemingly insignificant sapling is now the true form of the Reincarnation Tree.
When it awakens next, this sapling will slowly grow.
Long ago, when returning from the Star Abyss, Lu Ye anticipated this day. It's not too surprising; the stellar space, in these years, under Tree Elder's coordination, has been orderly. Even without him, there will be only slight delays in information transmission, but other aspects remain without significant problems.
"Number Nine!" Lu Ye gently called out.
Number Nine did not appear, but an inexplicable force descended upon the area, and soon, the figure of the Reincarnation Tree, along with that region, mysteriously vanished.
Evidently, Number Nine used the power of the Asura Field to obscure this area.
"How are the circumstances in the Nine Provinces?" Lu Ye inquired.
After having teleported the Nine Provinces here back then, he had not returned. This time, although everything seemed fine, only Number Nine knew the specific situation clearly.
"Rest assured, everything is okay, and I'm here," Number Nine responded.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye felt relieved.
He then turned and left the Nine Provinces, taking in his surroundings, and soon headed in a particular direction.
Since he had returned, he might as well find the azure bird; Lu Ye wanted to ask some questions.
In that direction, a colossal mound lay, where the azure bird crouched. As Lu Ye approached, the azure bird noticed and glanced his way.
Simultaneously, on another nearby mound, a silhouette appeared, unfurling massive wings.
"Don't move!" the azure bird suddenly turned and called towards that side.
"Oh..." a somewhat sheepish voice responded, akin to a wronged young bride.
Looking closely, Lu Ye discovered that the figure on the mound was none other than the Dancing Girl!
He broke into a cold sweat, finally understanding why the azure bird told her not to move. If the Dancing Girl flapped those wings, Lu Ye was unsure if his current 9th Dao strength could withstand it; he worried she might start singing and dancing, which would be embarrassing.
The last time, the azure bird asked Lu Ye to help find the Dancing Girl. Lu Ye entrusted this task to the Reincarnation Tree, and it seemed she was found; otherwise, she wouldn't be here.
"Greetings, seniors," Lu Ye approached and stopped ten miles away from the azure bird.
"What do you need?" the azure bird asked.
"I wish to consult the seniors regarding Dao Fusion." He regarded himself as having reached the pinnacle of beginner level Enter the Path; once Dao foundation is established, he would consider Dao Fusion, but stellar space cultivators know nothing of it, so the only one he could consult was the azure bird.
Initially, he planned to find the azure bird after entering the Dao Realm, but now it was a timely matter.
"Dao Fusion..." the azure bird murmured.
The Dancing Girl, unable to resist the silence, timidly said from the side: "You don't need anyone to teach you that. Once you go to the Star Abyss and your strength is sufficient, you'll naturally understand."
This... sounds familiar!
Uncle Duan said the same back then, and Lu Ye thought he had been unwilling to explain. Now, the Dancing Girl's words seemed strange.
"Is it inconvenient to speak of?" Lu Ye asked.
The azure bird shook its head: "It is indeed inconvenient to discuss in the Star Abyss, but here..."
After a brief pause for contemplation, the azure bird continued: "Since you've been to the Star Abyss, you should know, the Star Abyss has its own will!"
Lu Ye nodded: "I've heard of it!"
The azure bird went on: "The Star Abyss's will is a grand and vast entity, more like a concept, omnipresent, it governs the entire Star Abyss and all beings within, guiding the direction of cultivation for Star Abyss cultivators. Thus, I mentioned that in the Star Abyss, once your strength reaches a certain level, you will naturally know how to fuse the Dao, as at that point, the Will of the Star Abyss will inform you, with no need for others to instruct you. However, if someone oversteps and guides you, there will be negative consequences should the Will of the Star Abyss become aware."
