Inside the Main Hall.
Gu Han did not participate in absorbing this feedback.
For her, these energy and dao rhyme fragments were no longer of much use.
Her entire attention was focused on the core of the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda, on that ignorant consciousness that was rapidly condensing into form.
Through the System, she could clearly "see" the gestation process of the Pagoda Spirit.
That mass of consciousness was like a newborn baby, pure and flawless, yet carrying a sense of vastness and antiquity.
It was curiously "observing" this strange world, as well as the people outside the pagoda who emitted different auras.
With a slight thought from Gu Han, a strand of gentle Divine Sense, like a tentacle, lightly reached out toward that newborn mass of consciousness.
There was no force, no intrusion, just a transmission of friendly and welcoming thoughts, like a greeting.
That mass of consciousness shrank back slightly, then cautiously "touched" Gu Han's Divine Sense.
Immediately, a clear and tender voice rang out directly in her Sea of Consciousness, filled with obvious closeness and dependence:
"Master..."
The smile in Gu Han's eyes deepened as she responded with her Divine Sense:
"Welcome. From now on, you shall be called 'Xiao Wan'."
"Xiao Wan... Xiao Wan likes this name! Thank you, Master!"
The Pagoda Spirit Xiao Wan's consciousness fluctuated joyfully, clearly very satisfied with this name.
"Xiao Wan, how do you feel now? Do you need anything?"
"Xiao Wan is very good! I'm just a bit sleepy and need to sleep a little longer."
Xiao Wan's voice carried a hint of embarrassed sleepiness.
"And Xiao Wan feels that too much of the 'spiritual Origin' stored in the pagoda has been used up..."
"Now it might not be able to sustain itself for as long as before."
Hearing its words, Gu Han understood after a brief thought.
The gestation of the Pagoda Spirit had consumed the "spiritual Origin" accumulated by the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda over many years; this was the core energy of the pagoda.
Now that the Pagoda Spirit was newly born, it was like a newborn baby that needed time to grow and recover.
"It's fine."
Gu Han comforted it warmly,
"You focus on recovering first. There's no rush for the Disciples' cultivation."
"Mhm! I'll listen to Master!"
Xiao Wan responded obediently, and that hazy mass of consciousness slowly settled down, entering a state of deep sleep.
Gu Han withdrew her Divine Sense and cast her gaze toward the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda once more.
The pagoda's light had completely withdrawn, returning to its usual ancient and simple appearance.
The pagoda doors remained tightly shut, but Gu Han knew that once it had recovered, the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda would be able to attempt opening the subsequent floors.
At that time, with the supervision of the Pagoda Spirit and the acceleration of time, the Disciples' cultivation speed would increase several times over once again.
At this moment, the Spiritual Rain on the square had ceased.
But the Disciples' excitement and discussions reached a peak.
"Heavens! I just broke through a minor Realm!"
"Me too! I feel my spiritual power is more than twice as pure as before!"
"This was just a tiny bit of energy escaping from the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda! If we could go inside to Cultivate..."
"Pagoda Spirit! That was definitely a sign of the Pagoda Spirit awakening just now!"
"I've read in ancient texts that only supreme treasures that have birthed intelligence would have such a spiritual feedback!"
"Our Jade Pool Immortal Palace even has Magic Treasures that can birth intelligence! This is too incredible!"
"It's all thanks to the Palace Master! After all, this pagoda was bestowed by the Palace Master!"
Just as the Disciples were immersed in the surprises and Breakthroughs brought by this dao rhyme feedback—
"Boom!"
A heart-palpitating fluctuation of Spiritual Qi suddenly soared into the sky from the direction of Yaochi!
"What's going on?!"
"This fluctuation is coming from over there!"
The Disciples' gazes simultaneously turned toward the direction of Yaochi.
They saw that on the island in the center of the lake, next to that Enlightenment Tea Tree that had been quietly growing and emitting a hazy dao rhyme.
A small figure was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
It was none other than Ah Yao!
At this moment, Ah Yao was completely different from her usual innocent and romantic self.
Her small body seemed to have become a black hole that devoured everything, and with her as the center, a huge Spiritual Qi vortex had formed!
The Spiritual Qi of the entire Jade Pool Immortal Palace, and even the dao rhyme fragments from the Myriad Phenomena Pagoda that had not yet fully dispersed.
All were like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surging and converging toward her frantically!
"Is it Eldest Senior Sister?!"
"Senior Sister Ah Yao is breaking through?"
"Isn't Eldest Senior Sister only at Qi Refining? Is she going to achieve Foundation Establishment?"
"My god... with this kind of commotion, you're telling me she's just reaching Foundation Establishment?!"
Liu Ruyan stood up abruptly, her gentle face showing an undisguisable shock for the first time.
She was closest to Yaochi and could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi converging toward Eldest Senior Sister was vast beyond imagination!
Gold light flashed intensely within Gu Luoli's Double Pupils as she stared fixedly at the small figure in the center of the Spiritual Qi vortex.
In her "vision," Eldest Senior Sister's body seemed to have turned into a collapsing "singularity."
A special dao rhyme gushed out from within her body, only to be sucked back in an instant, repeating in a cycle.
With every cycle, her aura surged by a significant margin!
"This kind of Physique... this kind of Cultivation Technique..."
Gu Luoli murmured in a low voice; even with the mystery of her Double Pupils, she was actually unable to see through Eldest Senior Sister's current state.
Ye Ling'er's eyes were likewise filled with shock.
Possessing the Supreme Yin Divine Body and Cultivating the Supreme Yin Manual, her perception of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was extremely acute.
At this moment, she could feel that the Spiritual Qi within the entire Immortal Palace seemed to be being pulled and absorbed by Senior Sister!
"Master... Master said that Eldest Senior Sister's way of Cultivation is different from ours..."
Ye Ling'er subconsciously gripped her skirt, her eyes full of worry.
