Infinite and boundless, limitless and unbounded.

For the first time, Lin Qianxuan clearly and distinctly felt the presence of the Dao.

He was like holding a straw, able to directly draw endless possibilities from the other side's boundless Dao body.

Although limited by his own ability to draw, the possibilities he could gather at one time were limited, yet the Dao was boundless.

The boundless Dao attaching to him, who was finite, could create an almost infinite version of himself.

With a moving thought, billion trillion Great Thousand Worlds could be born and extinguish.

With a raised hand, the rules of the infinite universe were altered.

This mighty power was something he could never reach, no matter how much he stacked his attributes.

That was a power of a higher dimension.

Writing everything from a narrative perspective, it could not truly be quantified, nor would it be truly quantified.

The reason why Dao Fruits have varying heights is only because one has yet to truly enter the realm of Dao, merely opening that door.

When the door is wide enough, stepping inside is considered the true enlightenment.

Perhaps, this can also be called "transcendence"!

No longer bound by anything, as one's thoughts reach, the world changes, everything is molded as desired.

Even in this boundless chaotic world, an infinite number can easily be created.

Lin Qianxuan had not yet had time to fully feel this power when suddenly, two other boundless forces descended upon this space-time.

They were also forces of the Dao.

Compared to Lin Qianxuan, they were much stronger.

At this moment, between the two, one was suppressing Lin Qianxuan while the other was much friendlier towards him, even forming a protection to prevent him from being forcibly expelled from this space-time.

Lin Qianxuan voluntarily restrained himself, choosing not to collide with the other force.

Now was not the time.

Returning from the confrontation of higher-dimensional consciousness to the chaotic space-time, Lin Qianxuan was still in a seriously injured state, and before him was the pink giant dragon Peiya had transformed into.

With a slight movement of thought, Lin Qianxuan's injuries quickly recovered.

The corrective force of the fairy tale book could no longer stop him.

Instead, Lin Qianxuan even began to modify the fairy tale book's story.

Unseen, a pen was lifted above the higher dimension, beginning to write the story's ending.

The evil dragon no longer dies, and the hero no longer lives happily ever after with the princess.

Instead, another ending took place.

[After the hero defeated the evil dragon, he reformed the dragon, who from then on mended its ways, becoming the hero's companion and setting off on a new adventure journey together...]

In an instant, the corrective force of this world disappeared.

The volcanoes ceased to erupt, the ground no longer trembled, thunder no longer echoed the sky, and the power of the celestial gods returned to the Divine Hall; all phenomena calmed.

"The story's ending has been changed....."

Ashley clearly sensed that the story she knew ended differently.

She didn't understand how Lin Qianxuan did it.

But she knew very well what it meant to be able to alter the information of exotic artifacts.

She guessed that Lin Qianxuan most likely mastered a higher-level exotic force.

"Peiya, there's no need to continue supporting me," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Peiya looked at the Lin Qianxuan in her palm and asked aloud.

"I'm fine now."

Lin Qianxuan smiled slightly, then with a slight movement of thought, the Dao Fruit of [Artifact] added a few strokes to the story, transforming Peiya's form from the pink giant dragon to a semi-human form.

Her appearance remained the same, only now she had a pair of dragon horns, and a pair of small wings had appeared on her back.

"Teacher, I...."

Peiya opened her mouth as if wanting to say something.

"No need to say more, go back and train harder. This little bit of corrective force and you can't withstand it, and you call yourself the reincarnation of an Enlightened One, shameful!" Lin Qianxuan interrupted.

"Yes, Teacher!" Peiya nodded seriously.

-----------------

Within the Tower of Truth World.

Seeking Wonders Association, Ashley's small cabin.

The figures of Lin Qianxuan and the others appeared, with Xiaoke also reverting to its drone form.

"It seems this cooperation went rather smoothly," Lin Qianxuan spoke first.

At this moment, Ashley held more than just that cross in her hand; she also had a set of magic skills she had learned, all of which were cast without consumption. Though effects weren't supremely powerful, they were quite useful when used well, truly a bountiful harvest.

As for Peiya, she gained the ability of Dragon Transformation, allowing her to take on the form of an evil dragon, with considerable dragon breath strength, substantially increased bodily strength, and no longer limited by the boost's upper limit.

Xiaoke also had some gains, growing significantly through a path of monster slaying and acquiring many attributes bestowed by Lin Qianxuan. More importantly, as the Hero's Sword, it had gained the ability to strike against evil.

Of course, the greatest gains belonged to Lin Qianxuan.

Putting aside the skills he acquired during this journey.

The most important was that he had entered the realm of enlightenment, possessing a narrator-level means.

Beyond this, everything else was unimportant.

"As agreed, this is yours."

Ashley pushed "Bola's Fairy Tale Book" to Lin Qianxuan.

"I hope you achieve your wish, and if you need help, feel free to find me again."

Lin Qianxuan accepted the fairy tale book with a smile, simultaneously promising a helping hand.

"If you fail, I won't be polite," Ashley nodded and said.

After that, Lin Qianxuan and Peiya left Ashley's safe cabin.

Having obtained the cross, Ashley was now eager to save her beloved.

On the street.

Lin Qianxuan looked at the always head-lowered Peiya, suddenly reached out and patted her on the head, saying, "What do you want for dinner tonight?"

"Can it be jade honey roast chicken wings?" Peiya raised her head, tentatively asking.

"Sure, but you have to help," Lin Qianxuan said.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm, I saw the recipe two days ago, I know how to make it," Peiya nodded.

...

...

At the junction of this cyclic space-time.

Here, everything ends, and everything begins anew.

A figure stood at this point.

He was the other Enlightened One who fought Peiya.

The path to enlightenment, and the complete enlightenment, spans an exceptionally lengthy period.

This period is unimaginably long, possibly a distance one can never fully grasp.

After all, the Dao itself is boundless.

Those who tread the path of enlightenment are the finite boundless, while the Dao beyond the door is the true boundless.

And so he wandered through the limitless chaotic space-time, searching for new possibilities.

But the chaos was vast, and even as an enlightened one, he wandered for an indefinite time before finding such a companion.

Of course, rather than "companion," he preferred the term "prey."

He had no intention of discussing the Dao with the other.

He felt that the journey of an enlightened one offered no grounds for such discussions.

Once they had opened the door to Infinity, they could achieve their desires effortlessly.

The most was that the areas they influenced differed, and the methods to achieve their objectives varied, with doors of varying sizes.

His intent was to strip the other of their Dao Fruit, to glimpse its essence and origin, and possibly seize it for his own use, thus hastening his entry into the true domain of enlightenment.

An enlightened one was hard to find; to encounter one here was truly exhausting!

Especially when the other's strength was relatively weaker than his own.

He crafted this loop of time and space, eroding the other's intellect repeatedly, destroying the divine personality of their existence.

Success seemed imminent, yet at this moment, a variable arose.

Even more unacceptable was that this variable also possessed a Dao Fruit, and within the cyclic time-space, had entered the domain of enlightenment.

"I can't wait any longer."

He didn't intend to give Lin Qianxuan and Peiya more time to develop.

If they continued to grow, he feared the situation would spiral out of control.

He found the starting point of time-space and infused it with a part of his own power.

Introducing a new variable into the cyclic time-space would disrupt the cycle.

However, Lin Qianxuan's growth was rapid, and he worried about unexpected incidents.

.....

.....

Inside the Tower of Truth.

The power bestowed by the second Sound Talisman was quite special.

It allowed Lin Qianxuan to directly negate the side effects of exotic items.

Originally restricted by these side effects, Lin Qianxuan's research was always cautious, but now he didn't have to worry about them at all.

He could experience and perceive the power of another enlightened one more clearly.

To understand the essence of the other's Dao Fruit.

This was significant, enabling him to draw parallels and expand his understanding.

Simply put, although all Dao Fruits could achieve omnipotence, their processes were different.

It's similar to Lin Qianxuan's fishing rod.

He exactly replicated an item by fishing it from the Mirror Sea with his rod.

Whereas with the [Endless Divine Sea], it was through infinite energy, converted and crafted by himself.

A Dao Fruit still had a chaotic vessel, after all.

In its use, it required finding the pivot of chaos's rules.

How to achieve goals more swiftly and less laboriously was crucial.

The same power, when wielded with different techniques, naturally produced different outcomes.

So even enlightened ones needed the skills to use their Dao Fruits.

Lin Qianxuan directly endowed himself with the description of [Exotic Devouring] and used it.

This description's effect allowed the devouring of exotic items, doubling one's size and physical attributes, at the cost of increased hunger after consumption.

The strength of this description was level five.

Lin Qianxuan could devour exotic items below level five.

Lin Qianxuan had plenty of almost everything else, but he had already achieved mass production of Truth Coins.

Casually grabbing a Truth Coin, Lin Qianxuan swallowed it.

The next moment, his body swelled on the spot, growing over three meters tall, with his attributes doubling in accordance.

This growth manifested in various aspects, enhancing his awareness and knowledge across almost every realm he could perceive.

Of course, it did not involve the power of Dao Fruits.

Simultaneously, the cost associated with this power descended upon Lin Qianxuan.

However, the moment it descended, another force robustly shielded and erased it.

He wasn't even given the opportunity to experience it.

The Sound Talisman enabled him to use the power of exotic items without paying the cost.

"What if I consider the cost not to be a cost?"

Lin Qianxuan mused.

Although for most living beings, a cost was mostly negative.

But what if that cost brought benefits to him?

Like the reduction of fat from Golden Replacement.

If he were a fat person, wouldn't this be an easy way to lose weight? To become healthier?

From a certain perspective, the cost might even be the desired outcome.

Equivalent to gaining two benefits at once.

Without much hesitation, Lin Qianxuan directly endowed himself with the description of [Golden Replacement].

Then he activated the description.

In the palm of his hand, golden sand fell.

Simultaneously, his figure contracted correspondingly.

Lin Qianxuan confirmed one thing.

This was not a cost, but a manifestation of the other's Dao Fruit ability.

Every realization of power generated what seemed to him a relatively negative effect.

Just like yin and yang, positive and negative.

To wield greater power, one must pay more daunting costs.

He was fortunate that at first, he even thought the other was enhancing the effect of descriptions through a ritual-like means.

And the most absurd thing was, he succeeded.

Having understood the nature of the other's Dao Fruit, Lin Qianxuan was inspired with many ideas, bringing him greater insight into Dao Fruits. He felt that before long, he could surprise the other.
