The Myriad Phenomena Pagoda's dormant state lasted for a full seven days.
During these seven days, the atmosphere in the Jade Pool Immortal Palace was somewhat subtle.
Without the ten-fold time acceleration, the Disciples weren't exactly slacking off, but they felt their Cultivate speed had slowed down significantly.
Fortunately, the opening of the "Lingxu Grotto-Heaven" distracted most of their attention, and the first batch of Disciples to gain access were busy making preparations.
On the morning of the eighth day, the sun had just risen.
Inside the Main Hall, Gu Han was deeply immersed in her Cultivate.
Suddenly—
"Buzz..."
An extremely subtle ripple came from the west, instantly entering her Sea of Consciousness.
That ripple was tender and pure, carrying the joy and curiosity of a newborn, yet also containing an indescribable sense of ancient vastness.
Gu Han snapped her eyes open, her Divine Sense surging westward like a tide.
"This is..."
The Myriad Phenomena Pagoda, which had been silent for seven days, was now undergoing a startling transformation—
The tower's body was no longer just simple and silent; the runes flowing on its surface were flashing with a mysterious rhythm, like breathing.
Above the tower's peak, a small phantom of a rotating nebula actually condensed, with starlight flickering and dao rhyme arising naturally.
What shocked Gu Han even more was that she could clearly perceive a hazy consciousness condensing and taking shape at the core of the pagoda.
"Is a Pagoda Spirit about to be born?"
At almost the same moment, atop Snow Moon Peak and Yunwu Peak.
Li Hanyi and Yun Yun simultaneously turned their gazes toward the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda.
In the East Courtyard guest house, Empress Qingxuan was leaning by the window sipping tea when the cup in her hand suddenly trembled slightly.
She looked up toward the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda, a hint of surprise flashing in her lazy eyes:
"Such dao rhyme fluctuations... could it be?"
Beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the center of Yaochi.
Empress Ling Shuang was sensing the dao rhyme of this tree when she suddenly snapped her gaze toward the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda.
"That pagoda actually came to life?"
Meanwhile, on the Martial Arts Field of the plaza outside the pagoda, many Disciples had already gathered.
They had originally come for their routine morning practice, but were caught off guard by this stunning scene—
"Look! There's light at the top of the tower!"
"Those runes... they're moving!"
Amidst the Disciples' exclamations, the nebula atop the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda suddenly expanded, turning into a pillar of light that soared into the sky!
The pillar of light wasn't blinding; instead, it was warm and soft, containing pure Spiritual Qi and profound dao rhyme.
Wherever the pillar of light passed, the sky was dyed pale gold, the morning mist turned into spiritual rain falling down, and the vegetation on the ground grew wildly.
Even a few ordinary Spiritual Plants completed years of transformation in an instant.
Under the shocked gaze of all the Disciples.
That heaven-reaching pillar of light suddenly dispersed like fireworks, turning into billions of light specks that showered down upon the entire Jade Pool Immortal Palace!
"This is..."
"Such pure Spiritual Qi!"
"Wait! There's dao rhyme in it too!"
A Disciple cried out and instinctively reached out to catch a few falling specks of light.
The moment the light specks touched the skin, they instantly turned into a warm current that merged into the body, bringing an indescribable sense of clarity, and the spiritual power within the body actually circulated a bit faster on its own.
Certain doubts about their Cultivation Techniques also seemed to be resolved with a flash of inspiration, leading to a vague understanding.
"Quick! Sit and absorb it!"
Someone reacted first and shouted.
In an instant, across the entire Martial Arts Field and throughout the Jade Pool Immortal Palace, every Disciple who saw this phenomenon.
No matter what they were doing, they all sat cross-legged without hesitation, fully operating their Cultivation Techniques and greedily absorbing.
This wasn't just ordinary Spiritual Qi feedback.
Every single speck of light contained vast energy.
Even more, there were fragments of dao rhyme that naturally peeled off from the endless ancient dao patterns engraved on the pagoda when the Pagoda Spirit was first born!
For Cultivators, this was simply a heaven-sent Opportunity that could be sought but not easily found!
Liu Ruyan sat cross-legged as her Reincarnation Dao Scripture operated on its own, with countless light specks surging into her body like swallows returning to their nest.
Her Middle Stage Golden Core cultivation, which she had recently broken through to, began to loosen and climb, steadily advancing toward the Late Golden Core Stage!
Golden light flickered within Gu Luoli's Double Pupils; she didn't deliberately absorb them, yet those light specks seemed attracted to her, gathering automatically.
In her eyes, these light specks were no longer simple energy, but flowing dao principle runes.
She quickly analyzed and comprehended them, integrating them into her Double Pupils.
Ye Ling'er's ice-blue long hair moved without wind, and an energy vortex formed around her.
The Supreme Yin Manual operated to its limit, and the Ghost Moon Twin Blades spontaneously floated by her side, humming.
Her cultivation was originally at the late-stage Foundation Establishment; now, under the infusion of this majestic energy, she officially stepped into the Peak Foundation Establishment!
Li Zhiwei and Murong Xue stood still as pines, cradling their swords.
The Sword Dao they followed required extreme purity, so they didn't deliberately absorb too much miscellaneous dao rhyme, only taking in the purest energy.
But their understanding of Sword Intent became several times clearer at this moment.
Xiao Ya tinkered with the thousand mechanisms plate, setting up several miniature Formations around her to maximize the collection of falling light specks.
Her aura rose steadily, and her understanding of the Dao of Formations also grew rapidly.
Core Disciples like Zhao Ling'er, Wang Zhaojun, Wang Teng, and others all gained immense benefits at this moment, regardless of their cultivation level.
Ah Yao didn't sit in meditation like the others; she just curiously reached out her small hand, catching those beautiful golden light specks.
The light specks landed on her palm and merged into her body.
She narrowed her eyes comfortably, feeling her body grow warm, as if something was quietly growing.
The Primordial Immortal Scripture operated on its own within her body, making her already incredibly thick Foundation even more solid.
The entire Jade Pool Immortal Palace was enveloped in this golden rain of light.
The Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost turned liquid, dao rhyme permeated the air, and Laws manifested—a grand scene of an immortal sect.
At the edge of the plaza, Li Hanyi and Yun Yun quietly watched the Disciples' Breakthroughs, a touch of gratification flashing in their eyes.
In the West Courtyard guest house.
Empress Qingxuan leaned against the window, watching the golden rain of light outside and the heaven-reaching pagoda shadow within it, her eyes sparkling with brilliance.
"dao rhyme feedback, benefiting the entire palace..."
"This pagoda has such a grand atmosphere just upon birthing intelligence; its grade is likely far beyond imagination."
She murmured to herself, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the Profound Heart Bracelet on her wrist.
"This Sister Gu is truly fascinating!"
By the Yaochi.
Empress Ling Shuang looked up at the slowly rotating phantom nebula atop the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda, her pupils filled with solemnity and inquiry.
"Such pure Origin dao rhyme... this is by no means comparable to ordinary Magic Treasures."
"Could it be... that it really is an Immortal Artifact?"
She was startled by her own thought, then slowly shook her head.
Impossible. Immortal Artifacts have long since become legends; how could one appear in the Jade Pool Immortal Palace?
But how else to explain the scene before her eyes?
Her gaze swept across the Disciples whose auras were surging throughout the Immortal Palace, finally landing back toward the Main Hall, her eyes complex and difficult to read.
The mysteries surrounding this Yaochi Empress seemed much more complex than she had anticipated.
