Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The spectacle of the Wan Dao Tree blooming lasted a full half-quarter of an hour.

Green light pillars shot straight from the treetop into the sky, dyeing the clouds within a thousand li around the same color.

Sky-covering, teeming with vitality.

Nearby mortals, seeing this, were all dumbfounded.

They raised their heads to look at that glowing giant tree, emitting muffled exclamations from their mouths.

Someone subconsciously knelt down.

Someone stood frozen in place.

Still others rubbed their eyes, thinking they were dreaming.

The Dao Gate disciples' reactions were even more complex.

They saw more clearly, more deeply than mortals.

This is not ordinary blooming; this is the manifestation of Dao Rhyme.

Every petal of the Wan Dao Tree wrapped Dao Rhyme that had nearly condensed into substance.

This aura was warm, vast.

Like spring wind blowing over frozen earth, like the first ray of sunlight shining into a stone crevice.

Making every person who sensed it involuntarily slow their breathing.

"Entered the Dao."

A white-bearded old disciple said with a certain tone: "Jiang Shidi's situation is clearly the sign of Entering the Dao.

The Wan Dao Tree resonated with him, Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi gathered toward him, there's no mistake!"

Another disciple beside him nodded: "Previously, he was still in the Hearing the Dao Realm.

Today this one move counts as kicking open the door to Entering the Dao with one foot."

"But this scene……"

A third disciple looked up at the green light pillar rushing into the clouds, smacked his lips: "Compared to when we Entered the Dao, the pomp is also too much bigger, right?

When I Entered the Dao back then, the Wan Dao Tree didn't even shake a single leaf."

"Each person has their own Cause and Effect."

The old disciple waved his hand, looking like he had seen much and knew much: "The Dao Ancestor said, the circumstances of Entering the Dao vary by person.

Some are grand in momentum, some are silent and traceless.

The key lies in the different ways of invoking Dao Rhyme."

"Wrong."

A voice interrupted this discussion.

The voice was not loud, but everyone shut their mouths in an instant.

The Dao Ancestor had arrived at some unknown time, his gaze landing on Xu Zhangqing beneath the Wan Dao Tree, a strange look flashing in his eyes: "This is not Entering the Dao, but Comprehending the Dao!"

As these words fell, it was as if the whole world quieted down.

Zhang Daoxuan stood at the very front of the crowd, originally just crossing his arms with a smile watching his good friend break through.

But upon hearing these words, the smile instantly faded from the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head and stared at the Dao Ancestor, the shock in his eyes not concealed in the slightest.

He himself is an Entering the Dao Realm cultivator, far too clear on what Entering the Dao entails.

Entering the Dao is drawing Dao Rhyme into the body,

First, letting Dao Rhyme temper the Flesh Body.

Second, gaining the ability to wield Techniques.

This process requires time, requires repeated attempts and accumulation, requires fusing Dao Rhyme bit by bit into Meridians, Qi Sea, Divine Soul.

Yet Xu Zhangqing's "Entering the Dao" actually made the Wan Dao Tree produce resonance.

"After Hearing the Dao, one should Enter the Dao."

The Dao Ancestor slowly explained: "But Jiang Yuan had an Enlightenment, from the First Realm Hearing the Dao, without any hindrance completing the Second Realm Entering the Dao, directly entering the Third Realm Comprehending the Dao.

At this moment, he is not without drawing Dao Rhyme into the body, but rather in the Myriad Daos he selected a Dao belonging to himself, condensing out a Dao Heart."

As these words fell, the pot instantly exploded.

"Directly Comprehend the Dao?"

"Crossed the entire Entering the Dao Realm?"

"How could this be possible!"

"Among the Dao Gate's Three Thousand Disciples, those who crossed from Hearing the Dao into Comprehending the Dao total only a few?"

"Three."

Immediately someone spoke up, voice carrying a trace of trembling: "The first is Senior Brother Yan, the second is Senior Brother Huang.

If what the Dao Ancestor says is true…… then Jiang Shidi is the third!"

Instantly, countless gazes swished in unison onto Xu Zhangqing.

And he still kept his eyes closed, expression serene, as if fused into one with this giant tree.

No one knew what he was experiencing, and no one dared step forward to Disturb.

"What Dao do you think Junior Brother Jiang has comprehended?"

The senior disciple who spoke first lowered his voice, as if asking someone else, yet also as if talking to himself: "Until now, seventeen Great Daos, eight hundred minor Daos.

His Dao resonance can make the Wan Dao Tree bloom, indicating its grade is not low."

"The Wan Dao Tree is transformed from the Green Emperor's last bit of Authority."

A middle-aged female cultivator beside them picked up the topic, her voice also very low, her tone carrying a trace of reverence: "The Green Emperor wields the Wood Origin, presiding over the growth of all things.

Since the Wan Dao Tree resonates with Junior Brother Jiang, his Dao must inevitably be related to 'Life'.

Barring any surprise, it is definitely the Wood Great Dao!"

"Wrong."

Another tall, thin male disciple shook his head, saying with a serious expression: "The Wood Great Dao governs the withering and flourishing of plants, but Junior Brother Jiang's Dao can even make grass sprout from cracks in stones, showing its range is broader.

I think it is the Spring Dao, Spring Returns to the Earth!"

"Stop guessing blindly, all of you."

The senior disciple directly cut off their guesses, his gaze locked tightly on Xu Zhangqing, his brow furrowed even tighter: "The Wan Dao Tree is no ordinary tree; it is transformed from the Green Emperor's Authority.

Being able to make the Wan Dao Tree bloom shows Junior Brother Jiang's Dao has produced resonance with the Green Emperor's Authority.

You all think carefully, among the Ten Great Origins, what else can produce resonance with the Green Emperor's Wood Origin?"

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, someone cried out in alarm: "The Life and Death Great Dao!"

That tall, thin disciple's pupils dilated: "One of the Ten Great Origins, the Origin of Life and Death.

Life and death, withering and flourishing.

Endless reincarnation, endless cycles.

Therefore it is not the Wood Great Dao, but the Life and Death Great Dao!"

When the last few words fell, even the breathing sounds around them grew lighter by a few degrees.

No one spoke.

This speculation was too frightening.

If Jiang Yuan truly wields the Life and Death Great Dao, then his future status in the Dao Gate will not be inferior to the Second Dao Ancestor.

Xu Zhangqing did not hear a single word of these discussions.

His consciousness was immersed in a warm light.

He felt that between himself and the Wan Dao Tree, an invisible passage had been established.

Countless comprehensions regarding "Life", following this passage, surged into the depths of his Divine Soul.

In a trance, Xu Zhangqing transformed into a seed.

He felt the dampness and darkness of the soil.

He felt that stab of pain when the outer shell cracked open.

He felt the scorching heat of sunlight baking the tender shoot as it broke through the soil.

Then came growth, branching, unfurling leaves, year after year, until covering the sky and blocking the sun, until rooting deep into the earth, until becoming a part of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing suddenly moved, slowly raising his right hand.

The myriad petals on the tree, at this moment, seemed to have received some kind of summons.

One by one, spinning, they gathered toward his palm.

Myriad petals fell like rain, the scene magnificent and beautiful.

Among the Dao Gate disciples, quite a few were stunned silly watching.

Then, countless petals condensed into a light cluster in Xu Zhangqing's palm.

It kept rotating, compressing, taking shape, becoming smaller and smaller.

Finally transforming into a streak of spiritual light, it suddenly drilled into his palm.

Then all the way upward, it rushed into his consciousness sea.

Boom!

Xu Zhangqing only felt something explode open in his head.

But it didn't hurt at all; on the contrary, he felt suddenly enlightened.

The spiritual light dispersed in his consciousness sea, forming four characters.

Flowers Bloom in an Instant!
