260: Save Jing Linchen and obtain the broken monument of enlightenment

Lin Chen, who had mastered the first wisp of Dao Source Power, saw no change in his cultivation, but his strength had greatly increased.

Because his comprehension of the Karma Rule broke through the Upper God limit, his control and application of the heavenly calculation compass also strengthened.

Lin Chen once again tried to contact God Lin Chen in the Tower of Nothingness.

This time, he successfully opened up a stable Karma channel, allowing him and God Lin Chen to mutually transfer items.

Lin Chen had to obtain the Lower God-level Dao Oblivion Fruit produced by the Dao Fall Tree and use the supreme Dao Fall Power to melt through the enlightenment remnant stele space to rescue Mirror Lin Chen.

Lin Chen had a premonition that there was a great opportunity for Mirror Lin Chen in the Xuan Guang Universe, one that could grant him a ticket to the Foundation Level, preventing him from being stuck at the Foundation Level threshold.

Apart from the Five Elements Clone, among Lin Chen's five clones, Mirror Lin Chen had the weakest foundation.

His opportunities were limited to the God level, with only one Main God-tier body available. This body only allowed him to have no cultivation threshold at the God level, but the Foundation Level threshold remained firmly in place.

The Mirror Dao itself was an Upper God Dao, and breaking through to the Main God level was originally quite difficult, but Mirror Lin Chen had the opportunity of the Main God Artifact, the void-reality mirror, making the breakthrough to the Main God level not difficult.

However, there were not many pioneers who had explored the path of the Mirror Dao Rule. The difficulty of comprehension was defying the heavens, and without a great opportunity, one could not pass through the unknown path of the Rule, whether it led to life or death, to obtain enough Dao Source Power to break through to the Foundation Level.

Therefore, Mirror Lin Chen must be rescued as soon as possible and sent to the Xuan Guang Universe to explore and acquire his destined opportunities.

Another year passed.

The Karma channel in front of Lin Chen fluctuated, and a fruit radiating pure Dao Fall Power appeared before his eyes.

The heavenly calculation compass appeared immediately, concealing the dense Dao Fall Power, not daring to let even a trace of this power leak out, lest it cause chaos.

Back then, Aura merely attracted a wisp of Dao Fall Power, which caused Nine Moon, a Middle God cultivator, to harbor murderous intent and want to kill Aura.

Now, the Lower God-level Dao Fall Power would likely cause God-level beings to lose their minds and directly attack Lin Chen, and even Foundation Level cultivators of Dao Source Power would probably be uncontrollably affected by some negative thoughts towards him.

Dao Source Power and Dao Fall Power are inherently opposite.

One is the source, the other is the end, mutually restraining each other.

"Old man, what do you have here that makes my heart tremble and gives rise to a desire to destroy this place?"

"Ah, Old Man, even you can be affected?"

"Don't say anything, just pretend I don't know anything. Opposing forces, remember to control them carefully. Maintaining the balance of yin and yang is the essence of power control."

Old Man Anpingshan already knew what Lin Chen had, so after a brief warning, he temporarily sealed the memories of that time period in his mind, preventing them from causing deeper effects.

Although the other Foundation Level beings didn't know what had happened, with Old Man Anpingshan setting an example, they followed suit, pretending that nothing had occurred.

Lin Chen also kept quiet. Within the Karma space formed by the heavenly calculation compass, he consumed the Dao Oblivion Fruit and applied the Dao Oblivion state to himself.

His physical body remained the Karma Divine Body and did not undergo any special changes due to consuming the Dao Oblivion Fruit.

Void Power, Malice Power, and Dao Fall Power were superimposed on him in a special state, three layers deep, without affecting each other or Lin Chen's ability to use the three supreme powers.

Once the Dao Fall Power was in a superimposed state, Lin Chen was no longer afraid of being discovered. Even if Old Man Anpingshan, a late-stage Foundation Level being, was present, as long as he didn't thoroughly investigate Lin Chen's details, he wouldn't be able to perceive the Dao Fall Power in its third, illusory state.

In the enlightenment remnant stele space, Mirror Lin Chen, who had self-sealed his mind, had his consciousness revived, and then his consciousness was taken over by Lin Chen's True Spirit.

With Lin Chen's True Spirit in Mirror Lin Chen, Mirror Lin Chen became the main body. Everything about him was taken over by Lin Chen, and the power brought by Lin Chen's True Spirit could also be freely used.

Lin Chen merely gazed at the enlightenment remnant stele, and wisps of enlightenment rose from the depths of his heart. A special power of Dao transformation and erosion also followed the enlightenment, eroding Lin Chen's mind, attempting to assimilate him into a part of the Dao.

However, Lin Chen, who possessed a wisp of Dao Source Power, easily obliterated the assimilation power, with only a slight loss of Dao Source Power.

Supreme power is the best power to counter Dao transformation and assimilation, especially Dao Source Power, which deals with the power of Dao assimilation even more easily.

Lin Chen didn't waste any time. With Dao Fall Power covering his entire body, he walked step by step towards the enlightenment remnant stele.

The enlightenment remnant stele appeared to be right in front of him, but in reality, it was separated from Lin Chen by layers of space, located within a space filled with a Dao assimilation aura.

All intelligent beings who wished to approach the main body of the enlightenment remnant stele could only do so if they withstood the Dao assimilation, thus gaining the qualification to subdue the enlightenment remnant stele.

A complete tablet of enlightenment would not release the power of Dao assimilation to erode those seeking enlightenment.

The enlightenment remnant stele, only half remaining, had already lost its ability to freely retract and release its power, as well as its function of moving to choose a master.

Although it could still allow people to achieve enlightenment, and the enlightenment effect would not change, it could not control the retraction and release of the Dao assimilation aura. It could only passively release the Dao assimilation power to erode and assimilate those seeking enlightenment.

With each step Lin Chen took, a layer of Dao Fall Power on his body was consumed to obliterate the Dao assimilation power.

"Here."

Lin Chen consumed one-tenth of the Dao Fall Power within his body, easily melting through layers of space to reach the assimilated Dao domain where the main body of the enlightenment remnant stele was located.

The assimilated Dao domain was not large. The enlightenment remnant stele, spanning a thousand meters and no more than five meters high, stood quietly in the center of the Dao domain, awaiting the arrival of a fated person.

Lin Chen increased the output of Dao Fall Power, covering his body with more of it.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the assimilated Dao domain.

At this moment, Lin Chen was like a fireball entering a block of ice. The temperature of the fireball continuously melted the ice, carving a path through it.

Now, the power of Lin Chen's fireball was continuously consumed by the assimilated Dao domain, this block of ice. He could only survive by melting through the ice before the fireball's power was completely depleted.

Fortunately, Lin Chen had cast a divination for himself before acting, yielding an auspicious hexagram.

Thus, when only one-third of the Dao Fall Power remained in his body, Lin Chen successfully crossed the assimilated Dao domain and arrived before the ancient enlightenment remnant stele.

The lower half of the tablet of enlightenment, with only half of the Dao character remaining, showed no clear intention towards Lin Chen, standing quietly before him like a lifeless object.

The incomplete tablet of enlightenment had long since had its spirituality eroded. It was now a powerful but lifeless object, even inferior to artifacts refined by ordinary divine craftsmen.

In its current state, its spirituality was severely lost. Although its functions remained, it had lost its ability to self-repair.

Unless external forces assisted in its repair, no matter how many years passed, the enlightenment remnant stele would remain in its current state.

"The first time I encountered you, I was very weak and never thought of taking you. This time I encounter you, I have already become powerful and have the qualification to take you."

Lin Chen summoned the heavenly calculation compass and used the powerful Karma Rule to sever the connection between the enlightenment remnant stele and the universe itself. In this process, Lin Chen used all his strength and barely managed to sever the connection between the two.

It was true that the enlightenment remnant stele was masterless, but it had remained in the assimilated Dao domain for a long time, already considered a possession of the universe itself, and the universe's consciousness was also aware of it.

Lin Chen's ability to temporarily sever the connection was due to the universe's consciousness not interfering; otherwise, he probably wouldn't even be able to approach the enlightenment remnant stele.

The universe's consciousness was essentially acquiescing to Lin Chen's actions.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Chen had the opportunity to take the enlightenment remnant stele.
