Chapter 238: Enlightenment of Dao Principles

Lin Mo took out all the medicinal herbs that were listed in the ancient recipe, and Bai Luo also brought out her own collection of ingredients.

“I think we collected a bit too much. Should we roast them or turn them into a stew? What do you guys think?” Bai Luo asked, having a hard time choosing…

“We have plenty of spirit herbs, plus meat and alcohol to boot. I think we should try to make a hotpot.” Lin Mo said with a smile. There were too many herbs, and cooking all of them would waste too much time. As such, it was better to cook them all in one pot.

“Alright, alright, I’ll start the fire then.” Lin Die was in high spirits. Flames shot out from her hands, and using those flames, she lit the fire for the cauldron in front of her.

Meanwhile, Bai Luo took out a formation plate and unfolded it. The spirit formation covered the sky and the sun, sheltering them from the outside world.

With this many spirit herbs being boiled together, coupled with the fragrance of the Hundred Flowers Wine, the fragrance would have spread across the entire valley.

Should that happen, someone would likely had attacked while they were eating.

The spiritual energy contained within the hotpot was comparable to a spirit-grade tier 3 elixir.

It was a precious resource that could lure in even a Nirvana Realm cultivator. They were right to be wary of alerting others of it.

“I’ll dig in then.”

While staring at the boiling stew within the pot, Lin Die scooped up its contents and poured it into a bowl before digging in.

The fragrance between that wafted from the bowl assailed her nose. It was a mixture of various kinds of fragrances, and just smelling it had resulted in spiritual energy spreading across her body.

Lin Mo scooped out the cooked Silver Striped Koi and handed it to Lin Die and Yan Rong. The fish was not particularly useful to him and Bai Luo.

The two of them were both geniuses. They would definitely have an easier time breaking through to the Nirvana Realm than Yan Rong.

As for Lin Die, it was because she had broken through the cocoon to become a butterfly nine times. Every time she underwent the metamorphosis was a life and death test for her, as such, consuming the Silver Striped Koi would raise her chances of survival greatly.

While they ate, Lin Mo and Bai Luo opened the Hundred Flowers Wine and drank it.

In the end, the four of them were engrossed in their food and immersed themselves in it.

Unknowingly, they had all progressed to the Dao comprehension stage of cultivation. Even though Yan Rong had only just broken through a few days ago, he was about to experience yet another breakthrough.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo was also immersed in a deep level of Dao comprehension himself.

With the God Devouring Body now partially mastered, Lin Mo’s ability to comprehend Dao principles had received a massive boost as well.

The God Devouring Body circulated within him, gradually morphing into a new form.

The originally pitch-black God Devouring Body had now emitted a flame. It was an intense flame, but also extremely pure.

After an unknown amount of time, the image of the flame dissipated. Lin Mo slowly woke up.

Without wasting any time, Lin Mo headed straight for the delicious food within the hotpot and quickly gobbled it down. Once he had eaten his fill of the food, he then drank one cup after another of the Hundred Flowers Wine.

The overwhelming desire to comprehend Dao made him temporarily ignore the taste of whatever he was consuming.

An instant later, his God Devouring Body began to circulate again. The image of the flames appeared within his mind once more, but this time, it was even purer. It was evolving, and runes were even beginning to form around it.

It was as if Lin Mo’s God Devouring Body was inscribing a supreme rune.

As long as there was sufficient heaven and earth spiritual energy, the energy that the God Devouring Body had previously absorbed could be drawn out for Lin Mo’s reference and cultivation.

“So this is how flames are supposed to be used…”

Lin Mo muttered to himself and began to cultivate. However, problems soon arose.

His entire body was enveloped in flames. The burning pain caused Lin Mo to frown. His skin split open, and it was somewhat difficult for him to withstand such a high temperature.

Even so, Lin Mo continued to cultivate. He attempted to comprehend the Dao principles within the flames.

In the end, his body was beginning to char, and a smoky smell was being emitted from him.

Lin Mo was in extreme pain. He woke up and drank a cup of Hundred Flowers Wine. He also ate some food to replenish his spiritual energy.

The injuries on his body soon recovered. After taking a look around, he noticed that Bai Luo and the others were also trying to comprehend Dao.

However, the spiritual energy in Yan Rong’s body was abundant, and it had caused his meridians to swell up a little. Other than that, he was fine.

Lin Die, on the other hand, had a satisfied look on her face as she fell into a deep sleep.

Bai Luo sat cross-legged in silence. No one knew what she was comprehending.

Among the four of them, Lin Mo was the most miserable. He was nearly burnt to death by the flames.

However, he still persisted. After eating some food, he planned on continuing his cultivation. At this moment, Bai Luo woke up.

Upon spotting the sorry state Lin Mo was in, she asked in shock, “Are you trying to comprehend Dao or are you planning to transcend to the heavens?”

“I’m fine. It’s just that my cultivation process is a little bumpy.” Lin Mo smiled bitterly and closed his eyes to continue cultivating.

Silence ensued in their enclosure once more. The scene was a little strange.

The four of them woke up every once in a while. After eating some food and drinking some wine, they would continue to cultivate.

Before long, the food in the hotpot was swept clean.

Yan Rong was the first to wake up. He had received a huge improvement.

He was now at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. The speed in which he had cultivated had shocked even himself.

Nevertheless, his cultivation base was somewhat unstable, since he had not cultivated each realm to the peak of perfection.

This also resulted in his combat strength being rather lackluster for someone of his tier. Although he could be considered a genius, he was still ten percent weaker when compared to powerhouses like Yuan Cang.

Even so, Yan Rong was satisfied.

As for Bai Luo, she sat there quietly with her legs crossed, quietly refining the spiritual Qi in her body. Occasionally, her body flickered with multicolored light, which was very mysterious.

As for Lin Die, she was also making a huge ruckus. Flames howled and formed a cocoon that surrounded her.

During this period of time, Bai Luo had woken up once and explained that this was the first phase for the metamorphosis of transforming into a butterfly. It was extremely crucial.

However, with the Silver Striped Koi as her foundation, and with the addition of the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth lingering in the air, she would definitely be able to easily survive the first phase of her transformation.

On the other hand, Lin Mo was in a rather miserable state.

Scorching flames continuously attacked Lin Mo, and it showed no signs of stopping. Worse still, the pale yellow flames that had originally enveloped him had morphed into a sickly shade of green.

The temperature had increased by a whole new level.

However, Lin Mo’s aura was also becoming stronger. Multicolored light spread out from him, even though his body was gradually being charred black.

Nevertheless, under that layer of black dead skin was a sparkling and translucent layer of skin, and precious light was overflowing in all directions.

This was an astonishing change, similar to being reborn.

He was comprehending the Dao principles of flame, and from time to time, the sound of chanting would come out from his mouth. Countless runes had also been projected from his body.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by.

Bai Luo opened her eyes, and her spiritual energy was now a distinct shade of silver. Her aura had risen to a whole new level, and she was at the peak of the 18th tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

She was only one step away from breaking through.

Meanwhile, Lin Mo’s cultivation continued, and flames continued to burn him.

During this period of time, Lin Mo’s flames had come close to being extinguished several times. Upon noticing this, Bai Luo would toss him a high-grade spiritual stone.

Supplied with a fresh batch of spiritual energy, Lin Mo’s enlightenment of the Dao principles would continue to hold strong.

This was a precious opportunity for Lin Mo, as mastering the Dao principles this time around would yield him the ability to manipulate flames.

This made Bai Luo sighed in envy. It was not every day that one would gain the opportunity to understand the Dao principles of flame this profound.

At this moment, a pair of flaming wings appeared on Lin Mo’s back. The top of the wings were accentuated with green flames.

With a gentle flap of the wings, blazing flames whistled and threatened to burn the heavens.

Finally, the flames gradually solidified to form a cocoon around Lin Mo.

Within the cocoon, Lin Mo’s physical body underwent an extremely intense transformation, and it felt as if h had been reborn.

When the flaming cocoon finally shattered, Lin Mo opened his eyes.

“Clang.”

A long sword of flames appeared in his hand, and a Sword Qi was emitted that pierced the skies.

It was a demonstration of his newfound flame powers. The flames were derived from having his God Devouring Body fuse with the primordial Dao principles of flame.

The principles of flame was practically a part of the God Devouring Body at this point…
