I Am Overlord

Chapter 1331: Profundity of Life and Profundity of Primal Chaos

While Xiang Shaoyun, Tuoba Wan'er, and Gong Qinyin were waiting for the brightflowers to bloom, the Brightflower Chamber sent another person there who would be joining them when the brightflowers bloomed.

The newcomer carried a slight sense of hostility. If Liu Yanran wasn't present, the person would have started bickering with Xiang Shaoyun. Xiang Shaoyun and company completely disregarded the newcomer. They waited silently for the brightflowers to bloom.

Seven days later, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the curtain of night, the five brightflowers slowly bloomed. Strands of empyrean energy spread out from within the flowers and merged with the sunlight, forming a unique forcefield. The five brightflowers seemed to have transformed into five endlessly wondrous flower beds.

"Enter the brightflowers immediately!" Liu Yanran's voice rang out.

She hurriedly charged toward one of the flowers. The other Brightflower Chamber member also hurriedly charged over. Xiang Shaoyun, Tuoba Wan'er, and Gong Qinyin did the same, choosing a different brightflower each.

The moment they landed atop their respective flowers, they found that each flower only had enough space for one. Strands of pure energy interweaved in the air around them. The energy did not seem to resist them. Instead, the energy gave off a serene sensation, causing one to feel a sense of closeness with it.

The moment Xiang Shaoyun sat down atop his flower, the world around him seemed to change. The scene of a slowly blooming brightflower appeared in his mind. The flower's thriving life force seemed to be giving birth to boundless power. When he looked at the surface of the lake, the reflection of the starry sky seemed to come alive. It was as though he was staring straight at the boundless universe, a scene that he would not be able to forget his entire life.

However, the scene did not last long. One blooming brightflower after another replaced the scene, forming an ocean of flowers. A certain rule of the universe seemed to be playing out before his very eyes.

It was said that the Brightflower Landscape could help one comprehend the dao and increase one's strength. But would such a scene actually be of help in one's cultivation? There was a saying that the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom. Each person would see something different from the Brightflower Landscape. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he had entered a state of comprehension.

Without knowing it, he started chanting the Desolation mantra. The mantra seemed to encompass the profundities of primal chaos, yin and yang, celestial lightning, storm, and so on. The many great daos started resonating with the scenes he was seeing.

Immersed in the Brightflower Landscape, the incomplete Desolation mantra was slowly being completed. Xiang Shaoyun's understanding of the various profundities and the connection between them deepened and increased. He was starting to reap the harvest of the Brightflower Landscape.

He forgot the world around him, fully focused on the brightflowers that bloomed and withered incessantly, the formation and destruction of stars, the changes of the wide universe, the start and the end of an era. Of everything he witnessed, the profundity of life was the clearest to him.

The profundity of life was a higher form of the profundity of wood. However, it had been elevated to something beyond merely the profundity of wood, as the profundity of life also encompassed the profundities of water and light. In short, the profundity of life was a combination of three different profundities.

With the profundity of wood as the base and the profundities of water and light as supplements, a cycle of life would form. Life after life would be created anew, maintaining vigorous vitality, allowing one to achieve eternal youth. This was the true form of the profundity of life.

In his wondrous state of comprehension, Xiang Shaoyun started combining the three profundities, slowly understanding the profundity of life. At the same time, the stars within his body were speedily absorbing the spiritual energy in the lake. Without realizing it, his stars were growing by themselves. This was a precious opportunity, as the expansion of one's internal stars was incredibly hard to come across.

Everything that was happening to him was due to the Brightflower Landscape and the Stargazing Lake. All five people atop the five flowers were experiencing different scenes. Naturally, what they comprehended was different as well.

Before they knew it, half a month had passed. The flowers slowly withered, and the energy around the flowers started dispersing. Deep in meditation, Xiang Shaoyun sensed what was happening. He was unwilling to stop his comprehension so easily. Apart from the profundity of life, he had also gained a little comprehension of the profundity of primal chaos. If he allowed the brightflowers to wither away, his comprehension would stop.

Thus, he activated his Light of Wisdom and chased after the profundity of primal chaos according to what little he had comprehended thus far. When the others left their flowers, they saw that Xiang Shaoyun was still in a state of comprehension. They were astonished, especially Liu Yanran and the other Brightflower Chamber member. They couldn't understand how Xiang Shaoyun had managed to extend his comprehension of the flower.

"Hmph!" The Brightflower Chamber member snorted coldly, clearly trying to disrupt Xiang Shaoyun's comprehension.

Both Tuoba Wan'er and Gong Qinyin glared at that person murderously. It was extremely rare for a cultivator to enter a state of comprehension. The moment such a state was disrupted, nobody would know if one could enter such a state again in the future.

"Leave!" Liu Yanran transmitted to him.

He knew that he had been somewhat excessive earlier. He didn't dare to stay and hurriedly left. Tuoba Wan'er and Gong Qinyin were furious, but it was not the time for them to deal with him. Their priority was to keep watch over Xiang Shaoyun. Liu Yanran also stayed, as it would be improper for her to leave at this time.

Xiang Shaoyun's Light of Wisdom was an extraordinary power that could greatly increase one's comprehension capabilities. He was able to rapidly memorize what he had comprehended and comprehend the profundities others couldn't. Using the little bit of power remaining in the brightflower, he utilized the Light of Wisdom and successfully started comprehending the profundity of primal chaos.

The profundity of primal chaos encompassed the profundities of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. To grasp the profundity of primal chaos, one needed to first comprehend the profundities of the five elements. Xiang Shaoyun had long comprehended the five elements, but combining all of them was no easy feat. Now that an opportunity for him to do so had arrived, he finally had a chance to evolve his comprehension of the five elements.

The five elements reinforced and countered each other. Gold reinforced water, water reinforced wood, wood reinforced flame, flame reinforced earth, and earth reinforced gold. Additionally, gold countered wood, wood countered earth, earth countered water, water countered flame, and flame countered gold.

The five elements formed a cycle that would result in two different effects depending on the flow of the cycle. When cycled in such a way that each element reinforced the next element, life would be created, reflecting the great dao of life. Different from the profundity of life, this was a process of creation! And when cycled in such a way that each element countered the next element, absolute destruction would be created, reflecting the great dao of death.
