391: Chapter 388 Golden Core Divine Power Dharma Body Heaven and Earth
Old Ancestor Black Demon could easily kill three Golden Core Fifth Layer Cultivators.
Yet Qin Changsheng could easily kill Old Ancestor Black Demon.
It was evident how terrifying Qin Changsheng's strength was.
Qin Changsheng slowly withdrew his right hand, his expression remaining calm, as if killing Old Ancestor Black Demon just now was nothing more than a trivial matter.
Qin Changsheng slowly stepped onto the golden lotus platform, stood in the center, and scanned the crowd below from a high vantage point. Although he did not deliberately release any Pressure, he possessed an inherent Aura of looking down upon the world, causing the Cultivators below to lower their heads one after another, not daring to meet his gaze.
Once he stood still, Qin Changsheng spoke slowly: "This golden lotus platform belongs to me. Who among you agrees, and who opposes?"
When his voice fell, the square instantly fell into a deathly silence. There was not the slightest sound; even the rustling of the wind through the leaves was clearly audible.
The Cultivators below kept their heads bowed tightly, their gazes fixed on the ground, not daring to even breathe loudly. No one dared to look up and meet Qin Changsheng's gaze, let alone speak out in opposition.
They all knew in their hearts that Qin Changsheng was an existence capable of killing Old Ancestor Black Demon in one strike. His strength was unfathomable, far surpassing everyone present.
Let alone opposing him, even if they had a shred of covetousness in their hearts, they dared not show it.
The fate of Old Ancestor Black Demon was the best warning. If anyone dared to oppose Qin Changsheng, it would undoubtedly be seeking their own death.
Although some Cultivators were unwilling, coveting the top-tier Opportunity of the golden lotus platform, they could only suppress this unwillingness in their hearts.
They knew deeply that with their own strength, they were no match for Qin Changsheng. Rather than bringing about their own destruction, it was better to obediently give up and compete for those ordinary cyan lotus platforms; at least they could comprehend an ordinary Golden Core Divine Ability and not return empty-handed.
Qin Changsheng's gaze slowly swept across the entire scene, looking at the silent Cultivators with bowed heads below, without saying another word of nonsense.
Since no one opposed, this top-tier golden lotus platform firmly belonged to him.
He slowly turned around, sat cross-legged, and sat steadily on the golden lotus platform. His body relaxed, and he slowly closed his eyes, beginning to circulate his Spiritual Qi, preparing to use the Dao-comprehension power of the lotus platform to comprehend the highest-grade Golden Core Divine Ability in the Golden Eagle Secret Realm.
The moment Qin Changsheng sat on the golden lotus platform, it erupted with even more brilliant golden light. Ancient runes flowed crazily, and a majestic and pure power of Dao-comprehension slowly poured into Qin Changsheng's body, nourishing his Meridians and guiding his mind, allowing him to quickly enter a state of Dao-comprehension.
A faint layer of golden halo gradually surrounded Qin Changsheng's body, reflecting the golden light of the lotus platform, making him appear even more sacred and majestic.
Seeing this, the Cultivators below breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Qin Changsheng had already begun his Dao-comprehension and would no longer pay attention to them. While their awe remained, a bit of restlessness also grew.
Since the golden lotus platform was occupied by Qin Changsheng and they could not compete for it, they cast their gazes toward the remaining forty-nine cyan lotus platforms on the square.
These forty-nine cyan lotus platforms, while not as Heaven-Defying as the golden lotus platform, could still allow one to comprehend an ordinary Golden Core Divine Ability. For most of the Cultivators present, this was already a rare Opportunity.
After a moment of silence, it was unknown who acted first. A figure leaped out, sprinting toward a cyan lotus platform, shouting loudly: "This lotus platform is mine!"
Following this shout, the square instantly boiled over. The originally silent Cultivators began to move, their Spiritual Qi surging, and like arrows leaving the bow, they rushed toward the forty-nine cyan lotus platforms, vying with one another.
Some moved in groups, coordinating with each other to seize the lotus platforms; some were alone, relying on their own strength to forcefully occupy them; others secretly ambushed, attempting to seize the lotus platforms from the hands of others. The scene instantly became chaotic, and the sounds of fighting, scolding, and the collision of Spiritual Qi rose one after another, resounding throughout the entire square.
Some successfully climbed onto the cyan lotus platforms and immediately sat cross-legged, closing their eyes to comprehend the Dao, not daring to have any delay; others were defeated in the struggle, falling to the ground heavily injured, losing the Opportunity to comprehend the Dao, their faces full of unwillingness and despair; still others were deadlocked, fighting each other just to contend for an ordinary cyan lotus platform—in the Secret Realm, Opportunity and danger coexist; to obtain an Opportunity, one must pay the corresponding price.
Hu Nan and Liu Feng also seized a lotus platform not far from Qin Changsheng. They did not comprehend, but carefully observed the surroundings, guarding against anyone ambushing Qin Changsheng.
It was also at this time that a familiar figure appeared nearby.
This familiar figure was Chen Erniu, whom they had met outside the Secret Realm.
Chen Erniu looked around before saying to Hu Nan: "Brother Hu, do you recognize that person?"
When Hu Nan saw Chen Erniu, a trace of imperceptible vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he did not show too much emotion, merely shaking his head slightly and remaining silent.
Seeing Hu Nan shake his head without speaking, Chen Erniu felt a bit more confident.
He quickly stepped closer and whispered to Hu Nan: "Brother Hu, look at this person. Although he can kill Old Ancestor Black Demon, he is currently deeply immersed in Dao-comprehension, which is his weakest moment. Why don't we join forces to defeat him and seize this golden lotus platform?"
Just a moment ago, Chen Erniu had also seen Qin Changsheng defeat Old Ancestor Black Demon.
He also knew that Qin Changsheng possessed a Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact.
He also knew that his own strength was not enough to contend with Qin Changsheng alone.
If he could join forces with Hu Nan, he could definitely take down Qin Changsheng, who was standing on the golden Dao-comprehension platform.
Hearing this, Hu Nan turned his head and looked deeply at Chen Erniu. His gaze was calm but carried a hint of scrutiny.
He was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, his voice low and flat, hitting the point directly: "After success, to whom does this golden lotus platform belong?"
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, instantly causing Chen Erniu's expression to stiffen. The eagerness and temptation on his face faded instantly, replaced by a trace of hesitation and embarrassment.
"This..." He opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
The plan he had in mind was to join forces with Hu Nan to defeat Qin Changsheng, and then, relying on his own strength, seize the Opportunity to defeat Hu Nan and occupy the golden lotus platform alone.
How could he be willing to share the Opportunity of this top-tier lotus platform with others?
But he also knew that Hu Nan's strength was not trivial. Without Hu Nan's help, he had no chance of getting close to Qin Changsheng, let alone seizing the lotus platform.
Hu Nan would not act for no reason; without sufficient benefits, the other party would certainly not agree to join forces with him.
Yet there was only one golden lotus platform. He wanted to obtain the Opportunity, but was unwilling to share it equally with Hu Nan. For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma, standing in place, looking hesitant, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.
Qin Changsheng on the golden lotus platform also slowly opened his eyes. He had also heard the discussion between Chen Erniu and Hu Nan.
At this moment, his eyes were full of strange colors.
One had to know that Hu Nan was his External Incarnation and had always been under Qin Changsheng's control.
How could Hu Nan possibly join forces with Chen Erniu to deal with Qin Changsheng?
Below the high platform, Chen Erniu took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge determination: "Brother Hu, how about this: once we join forces to defeat this person, the Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive Magical Artifact on him will belong to you, and the golden lotus platform will belong to me. What do you think?"
In his view, this was the optimal plan.
The Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact was a top-tier defensive treasure, enough to move Hu Nan to act;
And the Dao-comprehension Opportunity of the golden lotus platform was his true goal. As long as he could comprehend the highest-grade Golden Core Divine Ability, giving up a defensive Magical Artifact was acceptable.
He looked at Hu Nan with full expectation, waiting for the other party to nod in agreement.
Hearing this, Hu Nan did not even think and directly refused: "How about the Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact belongs to you? And the golden lotus platform belongs to me?"
Chen Erniu's expression changed slightly. He had never expected that Hu Nan would look down on a Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact.
The reason Chen Erniu proposed such a condition was because the Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive Magical Artifact was very overpowered.
If they wanted to defeat Qin Changsheng, they had to shatter the Low Grade Heaven-Grade defensive Magical Artifact.
How could a broken Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact compare to the golden Dao-comprehension platform?
At the same time, he also understood that Qin Changsheng's strength was formidable, and with the Low Grade Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact, it was difficult for him to defeat Qin Changsheng alone.
Now that Hu Nan refused to join forces, there was no possibility of seizing the golden lotus platform.
After a moment of struggle, Chen Erniu did not pester Hu Nan any further, nor did he stay any longer, flying toward a cyan lotus platform on the side.
Watching Chen Erniu land on the cyan lotus platform, Qin Changsheng also withdrew his gaze.
A quarter of an hour later, the forty-nine cyan lotus platforms were also occupied by many Cultivators. They sat cross-legged with eyes closed, immersed in Dao-comprehension, their bodies surrounded by faint Spiritual Qi, reflecting the faint light of the lotus platforms.
A few Cultivators who failed to seize a lotus platform either left in dejection or sat cross-legged in the corners of the square to Cultivate, unwilling to miss the rich Spiritual Qi in the Secret Realm.
On the golden lotus platform, Qin Changsheng had already been sitting with his eyes closed in Dao-comprehension for an hour.
During this hour, the golden halo around him became more and more intense, completely merging with the golden light emitted by the lotus platform. His whole person seemed to be wrapped in a golden light curtain, sacred and majestic.
The ancient runes on the surface of the lotus platform flowed crazily, and the majestic and pure power of Dao-comprehension poured into his body continuously, nourishing his Meridians, cleansing his Divine Soul, and guiding his mind, step by step approaching the core of the highest-grade Golden Core Divine Ability.
Qin Changsheng's mind was completely immersed in Dao-comprehension; all the clamor of the outside world had nothing to do with him. In his mind, countless Divine Ability runes intertwined and collided, gradually condensing into the prototype of a powerful Divine Ability.
He sensed the Divine Ability power transmitted by the lotus platform, experienced the Profound Truth of the Golden Core Divine Ability, the circulation of his Spiritual Qi became smoother, the phantom of the Golden Core in his Dantian became clearer, and his Aura was quietly climbing, steadily advancing toward the Golden Core Late Stage.
Just at this moment, high in the sky, a brilliant golden light suddenly descended, like a golden pillar of light, piercing through the clouds and falling directly onto Qin Changsheng.
This golden light was even more dazzling than the light of the lotus platform, containing majestic Divine Ability power, gentle yet overbearing, instantly shrouding Qin Changsheng within it; even the light of the golden lotus platform was covered by this golden light.
"Hum—" A low humming sound rang out. Within the golden light, Qin Changsheng's body trembled slightly, and the golden halo around him instantly surged, spreading to the sky above the entire square.
His originally closed eyes slowly opened, and two golden rays of light flashed in his eyes, like two small suns, dazzling and eye-catching. His Aura also erupted completely at this moment, and the majestic Golden Core power swept across the entire field.
On the lotus platform, Qin Changsheng slowly stood up, surrounded by golden light, his robes rustling, and an Aura of looking down upon the world emerged spontaneously.
He felt the formidable power surging within him, and felt the exceptionally clear Divine Ability Profound Truth in his mind.
He had succeeded; he had finally comprehended the highest-grade Golden Core Divine Ability, Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth!
Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth was a top-tier Golden Core Divine Ability. Those who comprehended this Divine Ability could draw upon the power of heaven and earth to condense their own Dharma Image. Once the Dharma Image appeared, its power was infinite, capable of shaking mountains and filling seas, and could defend against enemies from a thousand miles away, far exceeding ordinary Golden Core Divine Abilities, and could even rival Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Qin Changsheng's ability to comprehend this Divine Ability within an hour was not only due to the Dao-comprehension power of the golden lotus platform but also due to his own talent and the blessing of the Heavenly Dao Trait in his hands.
The Cultivators below, whether they were comprehending the Dao or Cultivating in the corners, were all startled by this golden light and the Aura erupting from Qin Changsheng. They all stopped their actions and looked up toward the golden lotus platform, their eyes full of shock and awe.
