Outside in the wooden cabin.

A faint blue radiance emerged from Jiang Chen's body, emitting an aura of the Way of Water throughout the wooden cabin.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A slightly moist breeze began to blow atop the Summit of Southern Maniac Mountain, while the external aura of the Way of Water started converging towards Jiang Chen's cabin.

"Did this kid already visit Biyushui Pool? His comprehension is too strong, isn't it? How long has he been inside to already draw the water aura from heaven and earth, this is..."

Hu Yiqiu looked at Jiang Chen's cabin full of surprise, and then glanced at the cabins of Yun Tao and Ouyang Ruoxue, which remained completely quiet, showing a look of both gratification and helplessness in his eyes.

No comparison, no hurt. Originally, he thought Yun Tao's talent was quite good, but ever since he encountered Jiang Chen, Yun Tao's talent instantly became worthless, leaving Hu Yiqiu somewhat disheartened.

Is my judgement that bad? No! It's this kid's talent that's overwhelmingly exceptional! This... isn't human!

Hu Yiqiu secretly mused to himself, and with a flicker, his figure appeared in the air, releasing a majestic Great Dao pressure that enveloped the entire Southern Maniac Mountain, commencing protection for the three of them!

...

Changlin Academy, Biyushui Pool.

Biyushui Pool is located on the mountainside of Biyushui Mountain. In the pool, numerous green duckweeds floated rhythmically on the surface, while a layer of mist hovered above it, exuding a rich aura of the Great Dao.

On each duckweed sat a cultivator, comprehending the Way of Water.

"It's full again!"

A somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded at the edge of Biyushui Pool, as a young woman in her twenties showed a trace of irritation.

"Ying'er."

A voice thick with affection called out, as a beautiful woman appeared beside the young woman.

"Master!"

The young woman respectfully cupped her fists and bowed to the woman.

Li Qingzhu glanced at the crowd above Biyushui Pool, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Just wait. The results will be worth it here when trying to condense the Power of the Great Dao. It's nobody's fault you came late."

"Understood."

The young woman nodded unwillingly.

Li Qingzhu accompanied the young woman and began to wait quietly.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Two hours later, the mist above Biyushui Pool suddenly began to tremble and slowly oscillated, forming a massive vortex, the center of which was the Biyushui Pool below.

"What's happening?"

"What is going on?"

"Why has the Great Dao aura suddenly become chaotic?"

"Has someone achieved enlightenment and breakthrough?"

The people on the duckweeds of Biyushui Pool woke from their cultivation one after another, looking curiously at the vortex in the sky.

Li Qingzhu's expression changed slightly, her brows furrowed. This aura...

Those few have already claimed their rewards, and only Jiang Chen and Ouyang Ruoxue have comprehended the Way of Water. Ouyang Ruoxue... unlikely! Could it be that Jiang Chen has broken through again?

Is he trying to consolidate the Great Dao Wheel of Light!?

Li Qingzhu's eyes showed a trace of surprise and doubt as she looked towards the direction of Southern Maniac Mountain.

At this moment, Southern Maniac Mountain was also enveloped in an overwhelming Great Dao aura, while above Jiang Chen's cabin, a vortex formed by nature's spiritual energy appeared in the air, continuously infusing pure Spiritual Energy into Jiang Chen's cabin!

"This kid... is he forming the Great Dao Wheel of Light while simultaneously breaking through realms?"

Hu Yiqiu looked aghast at the cabin below, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Generally, when a cultivator comprehends the Great Dao, they only focus on comprehending, and when cultivating spiritual power, they only focus on that. The two cannot be carried out simultaneously.

However, there is one exception, known as the 'Child of the Great Dao'!

Only a 'Child of the Great Dao' can simultaneously cultivate spiritual power while comprehending the Dao, but to form the Great Dao Wheel of Light and make a realm advancement simultaneously was something Hu Yiqiu had never heard of!

"What more surprises will this kid bring me?"

Hu Yiqiu clutched his chest, feeling overwhelmed, as the series of shocks nearly pushed his heart to its limits. As a cultivator at the late Integration Realm, he was almost driven to a heart attack by Jiang Chen!

Buzz!

A cerulean light appeared in Jiang Chen's cabin, where an indistinct halo emerged, gradually becoming clearer.

In Biyushui Pool.

The Great Dao mist on the pool's surface had completely entered the water, leaving no trace of the Way of Water aura above Biyushui Pool, and even the surrounding nature's Way of Water had been emptied!

"What's going on?"

"What exactly happened? Even with a breakthrough, it shouldn't drain all of the Power of the Great Dao!"

"How are we supposed to cultivate like this?!"

Complaints broke out as the cultivators on the duckweeds stood up to look around, trying to find out who was causing this disturbance, but they saw everyone standing, and no one was still cultivating.

"What's happening here? Is something wrong with Biyushui Pool?"

Seeing no one cultivating, the cultivators couldn't help but look down at Biyushui Pool.

At this moment, a thick stream of the Way of Water aura was rushing frantically to the bottom of the pool, as if something at the pool's bottom was extracting the Great Dao aura.

"Master, what's happening?"

The young woman by the pool looked at Li Qingzhu in surprise.

Li Qingzhu pulled a wry smile and said helplessly, "It's nothing, it'll be fine soon."

After a pause, Li Qingzhu spoke aloud, "Dear students, the disturbance in Biyushui Pool is caused by the Dao artifact and shouldn't be worrisome. The academy was aware of this, though the timing was unexpected. Please be patient, and it will stabilize soon!"

"Yes, Elder Dong Xian!"

"I see!"

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded, returned to Biyushui Pool, and waited patiently.

The wait lasted for two hours.

After two hours, the Great Dao aura in Biyushui Pool ceased flowing into the pool bottom, returning to its previous state, albeit with a noticeably diminished aura, still richer than the surrounding nature's Way of Water, but not as intensely concentrated as before.

"This kid..."

Li Qingzhu murmured helplessly, "It seems that Biyushui Pool won't recover its past state until next year's grand competition before the fifty-year cycle. Fortunately, next year marks the fifty-year period; if it had just been refilled with energy and was brought to this state by that kid, the academy would surely experience a decline in one reincarnation!"

The Dao energy can be harvested every fifty years, known at Changling Academy as one reincarnation. The competition among the four major branches also marks a grand stage every fifty years.

Although there is a main academy admission competition every five years, each branch retains some top-notch seedlings to compete in the final competition of the fifty-year cycle, determining the allocation of resources from the main academy!

The young woman, puzzled, glanced at Li Qingzhu. She hadn't caught Li Qingzhu's murmurs but noticed the difference in her expression.

Following Li Qingzhu's gaze, she saw the towering Southern Maniac Mountain.

What's going on with Southern Maniac Mountain? What is Master looking at?
