Duan Yiwei had just gathered several light clusters.
Suddenly, the waves surged violently. The light clusters seemed frightened and instantly scattered in panic.
Duan Yiwei froze.
What's going on?
Could fragments that had already been attracted actually run away?
But he had no time to think any further, the waves were growing fiercer and fiercer. Duan Yiwei exerted all his strength just to barely stabilize his boat.
He had no energy left to obtain the fragments.
Duan Yiwei's face turned completely black!
The River of Enlightenment had been fine, why did it suddenly become so turbulent?
Was this deliberately targeting him?
It must be!
When time was up, he would definitely demand an explanation from Yun Jin.
For now, however, Duan Yiwei could only rage inwardly while struggling to keep his boat steady.
Meanwhile, Tianpo, the true instigator behind all this, wasn't comfortable either.
It was trembling with fear at the moment.
The chaotic battle of three golden fragments was already terrifying enough.
But within this half-hour, four more golden points of light had gathered.
With each additional golden fragment, the River of Enlightenment grew more violent.
If this continued, everyone's boats would capsize.
Tianpo silently lamented.
What exactly was Little Master's background?
She had actually caused the Great Dao fragments to fight out of jealousy!
This was too absurd!
Golden fragments gathering was originally a good thing.
But…
If there were too many, it'll become a disaster.
Seeing more golden light points rushing over, Tianpo could no longer endure and sank into her consciousness to awaken Yun Jin.
"Little Master, that's enough, that's enough, stop quickly."
Yun Jin, who had been releasing her soul power with abandon, slowly opened her eyes upon hearing the voice.
Oh?
Was time up?
Her Nascent Soul returned to her body, then Yun Jin looked into the distance.
Tianpo said helplessly, "Little Master, the super-grade fragments are fighting. The River of Enlightenment is unstable. You cannot continue."
It felt somewhat depressed.
Its master was already an unparalleled genius, one in a thousand years.
It had originally thought that no one could ever surpass him.
Yet in its lifetime, it had actually encountered a freak like Yun Jin.
Tianpo suddenly understood why master had placed the most core Sword Tomb in such a remote place as Canglan Kingdom.
With master's cultivation, he could faintly sense a trace of karma. He must have foreseen that a thousand years later, he would wait for such a successor.
As Tianpo thought more about it, it became excited.
The more monstrous Little Master was, the stronger Wushuang Sect would be in the future. This was a good thing, a very good thing!
It should be happy instead.
"Only seven golden fragments." Yun Jin sighed. "That hasn't even reached ten yet."
Tianpo: "???"
It had just persuaded itself, and now it felt stifled again.
Excuse me.
What did she mean by only seven?
Wasn't that "only" a bit excessive in this situation?
Tianpo gritted its teeth, "There will be another chance in a year. If more fragments gather now, it may cause irreversible consequences. And with so many golden fragments, Little Master may not necessarily be able to absorb them all at once."
Golden fragments placed greater demands on the divine soul.
Last time, after master absorbed three, he was nearly unable to continue.
Little Master had attracted so many in one go, absorbing them would be another problem.
Not absorbing them would be too much of a pity.
Absorbing them would be too difficult.
Too many golden fragments were a trouble in themselves.
"If they keep fighting like this, other fragments won't dare come over." Yun Jin narrowed her eyes.
Her fragments needed to behave.
Yun Jin gathered her strength and shouted, "I'll count to three!"
Tianpo looked confused, what was this?
"When I count to three, all of you stop immediately and come obediently to my side. Otherwise, I won't take you away."
She began counting.
"One…"
It was just simple counting, yet for some reason, even Tianpo shivered.
The phrase "count to three" seemed to carry some strange magic, making Tianpo nervous.
"Two…"
The Tianpo Sword looked into the distance.
The golden light points seemed to hesitate, the commotion gradually lessened.
"Three…."
As Yun Jin finished speaking, the golden light points seemed to understand. They immediately quieted down, the entire River of Enlightenment returned to calm.
The golden light points obediently flew toward Yun Jin and stopped beside her boat.
"That's more like it, you're all mommy's good babies," Yun Jin said in a coaxing tone.
The golden light points appeared quite pleased, bouncing slightly to express joy.
Tianpo admitted that it didn't quite understand children's games nowadays.
Two hours were nearly up so Yun Jin didn't release her soul power again. In this final stretch, nearly all nearby light clusters gathered, once again surrounding her densely.
The next moment.
Time upon the River of Enlightenment suddenly froze.
A mechanical voice sounded in everyone's mind.
"Time is up. All may now begin absorbing the fragments. The divine soul is limited and the number of fragments that can be absorbed is also limited. Please choose appropriate fragments carefully."
"Little Master, let's start with the golden light clusters. Absorb as many as possible," Tianpo suggested.
Yun Jin didn't object.
She sat cross-legged and reached for the first golden light point.
It entered through the crown of her head and immediately settled within her sea of consciousness.
This was a Fire Attribute super-grade fragment, the specific artistic conception would require later examination and gradual absorption.
Normally, even after obtaining the fragments, one couldn't instantly master the contained artistic conception. These fragments were akin to the best teachers, constantly demonstrating the artistic conception. As for when true comprehension would come, that depended on personal insight.
Of course, with the fragments guiding the direction, progress would be far faster than self-comprehension.
Without hesitation, Yun Jin absorbed the second fragment, the third fragment…
Tianpo watched nervously.
These were all golden fragments.
Little Master was only at Nascent Soul Stage, three should already be her limit, right?
Though regrettable, that would be understandable.
Yet the next moment, Yun Jin opened her eyes and directly absorbed the fourth fragment.
Tianpo grew tense, "Little Master, the divine soul has limits. Don't force yourself too much. Next time, we will have another opportunity to enter. At that time—"
Before it finished speaking, Yun Jin had already begun absorbing the fifth fragment.
Her expression was relaxed, the previous four fragments had caused her no burden whatsoever.
"Hmm?" Yun Jin looked at Tianpo curiously. "What were you saying just now? I didn't catch it."
Tianpo: "…Nothing. Please continue."
It turned away, feeling a bit deflated.
It had followed its master through mountains of blades and seas of fire, it had witnessed countless wonders and seen countless geniuses.
Even so.
What Yun Jin was doing now was far too unscientific!
This simply didn't resemble something a human could accomplish.
