"Hiss..."
"Rumble..."
With the advancement of his minor realm.
Bai Zihe's strength grew increasingly formidable.
Consequently, the speed and scale of his spiritual energy absorption also expanded significantly.
The initially formed spiritual energy vortex.
Suddenly expanded from a diameter of three zhang to five zhang!
The pure, refined spiritual energy contained within made Bai Zihe's heart flutter, and he absorbed it even more greedily.
During the process.
True essence from his meridians flowed continuously, surging forth.
Time passed slowly.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Half an hour.
An hour...
Bai Zihe had no idea how long he had been cultivating.
He only felt...
That he had reached a bottleneck.
It was as if the bottle's cap had been screwed on tightly, reaching its limit. No matter how much he cultivated, there would be no further improvement.
"This is..."
"The peak of the late stage of the God Transformation realm?"
Bai Zihe sensed himself slightly and couldn't help but feel joy surge onto his face.
Mount Penglai was indeed worthy of being Mount Penglai.
How long had he only been cultivating on it?
Perhaps...
Less than two hours in total.
He had already advanced from the mid-stage of the God Transformation realm to the perfect completion of the late stage of the God Transformation realm.
He was only a single step away from breaking through to the Integration realm.
It was evident how abundant the spiritual energy was in this place, truly unprecedented and astonishing.
"It would be even better if I could break through to the Integration realm."
Bai Zihe couldn't help but sigh.
However.
Once one reached the late stage, breaking through to a major realm was extremely difficult.
Fortunately.
Bai Zihe took out eight scrolls, preparing to study them thoroughly.
When he had gathered all the scrolls, a major upheaval had occurred on Dragon Island, leaving him no time to study them. This place was quite suitable.
The first scroll was Pangu Creating Heaven.
The second scroll was Nuwa Creating Man.
The third scroll was Shen Nong Tasting Herbs.
The fourth scroll was Hou Yi Shooting Suns.
The fifth scroll was Chang'e Flying to the Moon.
The sixth scroll was Xing Tian Dancing with Shield and Ax.
The seventh scroll was the Yellow Emperor Fighting Chi You.
The eighth scroll was Gong Gong Colliding with a Mountain.
It appeared...
Each scroll was mysterious and ancient, exuding an aura of grandeur.
As soon as Bai Zihe unfurled these scrolls, various pictures and texts emerged on them, but they were extremely obscure.
"Buzz..."
However, once these scrolls were all spread out, they suddenly floated into the air on their own.
Under Bai Zihe's astonished gaze, they began to merge.
"This is..."
Bai Zihe couldn't help but raise his sword-like eyebrows.
The scene was too extraordinary, leaving him quite surprised.
"Buzz..."
During the fusion process.
Wisps of aura filled with the essence of the Great Dao began to emanate from them.
Bai Zihe was stunned at first, then closed his eyes.
"Swish..."
These auras were rapidly absorbed by Bai Zihe's countless pores.
Bai Zihe was immersed in it, comprehending heaven and earth.
"To see and not see is called Yi."
"To hear and not hear is called Xi."
"To grasp and not attain is called Wei."
"These three..."
A desolate and ancient voice echoed incessantly in Bai Zihe's mind.
Bai Zihe was completely immersed at this moment.
His entire body involuntarily circulated all his true essence, performing cycle after cycle of the Great Heavenly Cycle.
Simultaneously.
The faint sunlight emanating from the eight scrolls outside enveloped Bai Zihe, and a mysterious power flowed within the void.
"Hiss..."
And as it continued to circulate.
The true essence in Bai Zihe's meridians surged non-stop.
Like a mighty river flowing, like surging ocean waves.
Finally...
Upon reaching a critical threshold.
"Rumble..."
The river of true essence had long been immense, fiercely striking against it.
"Crack..."
"Crack, crack..."
Imperceptibly, something seemed to shatter.
It was the obstacle that hindered Bai Zihe's progress, the shackles that sealed Bai Zihe's cultivation!
With this breakthrough...
Bai Zihe entered a brand new realm.
The Integration realm, above the God Transformation realm!
"Boom..."
In his Dantian, a resounding tremor also occurred, causing Bai Zihe's expression to stir, and joy appeared on his face.
He had broken through!
"Hiss..."
"Rumble..."
After the breakthrough, the surrounding spiritual energy once again found an outlet and surged into Bai Zihe's body.
Strands, streams, and tides!
Rapidly condensing.
The true essence in Bai Zihe's meridians became even more potent.
"Buzz..."
In mid-air, the fusion of the eight scrolls reached its most critical moment.
At this moment.
The contents of the scrolls had long since become blurry.
All Bai Zihe could see was a dazzling curtain of light, illuminating everything, yet it did not feel blinding to him!
In fact...
It even made Bai Zihe feel a sense of gentleness.
"Bai Zihe..."
Suddenly, a voice echoed from mid-air.
This voice...
Was majestic and imposing, not inferior to that of the Dragon Emperor.
"Since you have come to Penglai Island, I shall bestow upon you a great fortune. Return and study it diligently, day and night."
With that said.
The eight scrolls in mid-air finally merged into one, forming a blank scroll.
"Whoosh—"
Instantly, the blank scroll fell into Bai Zihe's hand.
Bai Zihe instinctively looked at it.
This blank scroll...
It only contained some pictures, similar to the previous ones of Pangu Creating Heaven and Nuwa Creating Man.
However, it was not just pictures.
There was also the flow of Dao essence, which Bai Zihe could clearly feel.
"With the Chaos Treasure Box in your hand, and using this blank scroll as a template, in time, you will surely be able to break through to the Immortal realm!"
Immortal!
Bai Zihe could hardly believe his ears.
Before coming to Dragon Island, he had only thought that he might gain some benefits and be able to handle the蛊 worms on himself and his sister in the future.
And now...
Even becoming an immortal was possible!
This was indeed a great change in heaven and earth, a true remaking of the cosmos.
"May I know... Your honorable title?"
Bai Zihe, filled with gratitude, bowed towards mid-air.
"I am..."
"Penglai Immortal!"
Penglai Immortal!
Bai Zihe's heart immediately tensed, truly extraordinary.
"Thank you, Immortal, for your gift!"
Bai Zihe bowed again.
"Go."
Bai Zihe wished to say more, but Penglai Immortal gave him no opportunity.
With a wave of his grand hand.
Bai Zihe felt as if the world around him had transformed.
However.
When he fixed his gaze in all directions.
The cranes were still cranes, the deer were still deer, and the sky was still the sky.
It was as if it were his illusion.
But Penglai Immortal had already disappeared, and Bai Zihe would not disturb him further.
To have encountered such an opportunity was already fortunate; one should not be greedy.
"Swish..."
Bai Zihe turned back the way he came.
As expected, the restriction of "a thousand miles apart yet like next door" was gone, and he quickly reached a boundary-like existence.
"Hiss..."
Without hesitation, Bai Zihe traversed this boundary.
He had already lingered here for a long time and needed to return quickly to find Zhuge Sheng and the others.
On the sea.
Qi Tianhe had already gone mad with anxiety.
He had searched for a long time and found no trace of Bai Zihe.
But just as he was in a state of utter distress.
A white figure appeared out of thin air, which was precisely Bai Zihe.
