Chapter 81: Condensing the Reward Body, Mid-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal!

In the past, during his travels, Chen Ku had once harvested a congenital five-needle pine.

However, as one of the ten supreme congenital spiritual roots, its maturation is extremely slow.

Even until now, it has not yet borne fruit.

Thus, he has never had the chance to taste such top-grade immortal fruit.

By contrast, the Enlightenment Dao ancient tea tree before him is far more sensible than the five-needle pine.

Thinking of this, Chen Ku immediately acted.

With a sweep of his hand, a mighty force surged forth like a fierce gale, shaking the Enlightenment Dao ancient tea tree.

Immediately, several ancient tea leaves detached from the branches and floated down.

The tea leaves fell into his palm, and that ancient, profound Dao resonance became ever more evident.

Chen Ku's entire state of mind also became more ethereal.

Immediately, he glanced around at the surroundings, and his expression involuntarily froze.

"Alas... suffering..."

"This Yingzhou Xiandao, though it possesses such a top-grade spiritual root as the Enlightenment Dao ancient tea tree, lacks a top-grade spiritual spring."

"If one could find the waters of the Nine Great Spiritual Springs of the Primordial Era, only then could the efficacy of these tea leaves be pushed to the utmost."

He couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

The Enlightenment Dao ancient tea is extraordinary; to brew it into tea water naturally requires a top-grade spiritual spring for the best effect.

Among worldly spiritual springs, the Nine Great Spiritual Springs are the foremost.

However, sighing is useless.

Chen Ku then gathered his thoughts and smiled with relief.

In that case, seizing the spiritual spring on this Yingzhou Xiandao is also possible.

Thereafter, with a thought, the congenital spiritual water immediately surged upward like a reverse-flowing great river, rushing toward Chen Ku.

Law fire arose in his palm, blazing vigorously.

Soon, the congenital spiritual water boiled, and the Enlightenment Dao ancient tea leaves sank and floated within it, mysterious and profound.

For a moment, the tea fragrance permeated, like waves of orchids, rich and fragrant, making one unable to resist feeling immersed in it.

Threads of mist swirled, adding a magnificent and splendid vista.

Chen Ku could not help but inhale deeply, his face showing a smile.

Without hesitation, he immediately lifted the tea cup and drained it in one gulp.

The fragrant tea flowed like a trickle, entering Chen Ku's mouth and wandering through his extraordinary meridians, blood, flesh, tendons, and bones.

In an instant, Chen Ku's body shuddered violently, his expression changing.

His body remained unmoving, yet his gaze grew ever deeper.

In the darkness, he had already entered a wondrous, ineffable mystical state.

Within his consciousness, various obscure and profound law orders lay displayed like deep abysses, immortal light and auspicious colors intertwining.

And Chen Ku's spirit seemed to wander among them.

Each law order, the divine markings of the Great Dao, etc., stirred his heart greatly.

"Mmm... is this the union of heaven and man?"

"Not bad!"

At this moment, Chen Ku clearly felt his spirit platform clear and his Dao mind lucid.

In the process of enlightenment, things also became as easy as water flowing to its channel, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

At a glance, he could perceive the trajectory and rationale of a certain law order's operation.

His innate talent, comprehension, and even his origin, etc., underwent a substantial transformation and elevation at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"One glance, ten thousand years; one thought, eternal!"

"Hehe..."

"Heaven-defying comprehension plus the effect of the Enlightenment Dao tea leaves is simply inconceivable."

Chen Ku gave a hehe laugh, proudly self-satisfied.

These words are no exaggeration.

Chen Ku inherently possesses such a heaven-defying comprehension, a mighty and unparalleled buff.

Now, under the effect of the Enlightenment Dao ancient tea, the two stack together, allowing him in a brief instant to gain enlightenment harvest surpassing ordinary tens of millions of years.

His body radiated light, his qi and blood surging!

Around his body, vast auras coiled like rolling thunder, gripping the heart and soul, truly terrifying.

Chen Ku immediately suppressed the astonishment and shock in his heart.

He sat cross-legged in the void and directly began cultivation.

The method of the Three Bodies Buddha set in motion, its profound trajectories intertwining and delineating, beyond estimation.

Above Chen Ku's head, myriad acres of auspicious clouds reappeared, covering the sky and earth, shining upon eternity.

And while Chen Ku was deeply contemplating and cultivating,

At a certain moment, within the auspicious clouds, only a vague, illusory silhouette could be seen gradually forming, as if a deity descended, solemn and majestic, its might shaking the nine heavens and ten earths, incomparably terrifying.

This is precisely Chen Ku's reward body!

In the past, he had also sensed such an opportunity, but at the final moment it caused failure just short of success, preventing the reward body from successfully condensing forth.

But this time, it is clearly different.

Chen Ku's divine sense rumbled with unprecedented mighty and formidable power.

Vast expanses of law orders intertwined, divine radiance and immortal light burst forth, gathering and continuously pouring into that reward body.

Law as bone, order condensing flesh and blood, Buddha-Dao golden light shining forth, profound and yet more profound, unfathomable to ghosts and gods!

Understanding the Dao is like water reaching its channel, utterly without stagnation.

Some of the shackles from earlier cultivation are now almost effortlessly broken.

Under such qi infusion, the reward body becomes visibly more solid at a speed discernible to the naked eye.

Finally, it transformed into a towering figure with a solemn, dignified countenance that exudes authority without anger.

At this moment, Chen Ku's true form, though his eyes were slightly closed, perceived everything around him with perfect clarity.

He could hardly hide his joy, involuntarily curling a smile.

At this moment, his inner qi rumbled like thunder, deafeningly loud.

The Dharma body and reward body merged, causing Chen Ku's entire aura to suddenly surge forward in leaps and bounds.

Soon after, he successfully broke through the bottleneck of early-stage Primordial Golden Immortal and stepped into the mid-stage.

Overwhelming pressure swept forth, magical power surging!

Chen Ku's cultivation grew ever deeper; any other strong person present would, at a single glance, feel their heart tremble with fear and their scalp explode.

In the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, even a slight rise multiplies the pressure tenfold or even dozens of times.

"Haha... wonderful... wonderful!"

"The opportunity of this Enlightenment Dao Ancient Tea Tree truly astonishes the world."

"This wave has saved this humble Daoist tens of thousands of years of cultivation."

Chen Ku's eyes flew open, and he immediately burst into laughter, full of heroic vigor.

Just a few leaves of the Enlightenment Dao Ancient Tea Tree are enough to offset tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

This is no exaggeration!

After all, Chen Ku cultivates the Primordial Dao, and the Three Bodies Buddha Method is even more profound than the Three Corpses Slaying technique, making cultivation far more difficult.

Even with Chen Ku's heaven-defying comprehension, he cannot control the mysterious opportunity hidden in the darkness.

Yet this time, under the state of Heaven-Man Unity, he seemed as if he had experienced sudden enlightenment.

Only thus could he seize the Endless Dao Rhythm Divine Patterns in one go, fully condensing the reward body.

As the words fell, Chen Ku lowered his head to glance at his own condition.

Immediately, he discovered with astonishment that the effect of the Enlightenment Dao Tea Leaves within his body had not yet faded.

His spiritual sense remained vast and unimpeded, showing no stagnation.

"Can we continue to gain insight?"

"If so, then let's do it again!"

He muttered excitedly to himself.

He immediately continued to calm his mind and focus, entering the Enlightenment Dao state.

After the breakthrough, Chen Ku's Buddha-light shone ever more brightly, extraordinarily holy.

Divine radiance suffused the air, blotting out the sky and sun!

Waves of Buddha-Dao aura spread everywhere, increasing by dozens of times over before.

Primordial Wasteland knows no years!

And no one knows how much time has passed.

At one moment, the seated Chen Ku with closed eyes and solemn visage suddenly changed expression, feeling something.

At this very moment, a long‑absent prompt reappeared in the Sea of Consciousness.

【You have comprehended the profound mysteries of Buddha-Dao, elevated yourself, and gained insight into......】

Feeling the prompt of heaven‑defying comprehension, Chen Ku's heart was instantly overcome by huge waves.

This insight far surpassed his imagination and expectations.
