Chapter 5204 Bai Shishi’s Manifestation
The enormous tree covered the sky, casting a multicolored divine light that filled the atmosphere with life. Everyone, except for the Dragonblood Legion, was stunned. The tree’s trunk was semi-translucent, and its leaves resembled colored glass, with runes flowing within them.
The divine light entered their very souls, lifting away negative emotions and leaving them with a clear mind. Everyone instantly entered a state of pure emptiness. Such an opportunity had never occurred to them.
It felt as if they had suddenly awakened from a long dream, seeing the world in a new light. Under the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree’s divine light, their mental acuity sharpened, and many previously elusive profundities became clear.
“This opportunity won’t last long. You have only six hours to connect with your Heavenly Fate manifestation. Use this time wisely to awaken your manifestation. Don’t miss this chance,” Long Chen instructed.
Realizing how rare this opportunity was, all the disciples quickly entered a state of meditation, communing with their Heavenly Fate Disks.
Familiar with the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree’s light, the Dragonblood Legian immediately began meditating as their Heavenly Fate Disks swirled, dragon runes appearing on them.
The Starry River Sect’s disciples saw that their Heavenly Fate Disks produced specks of starlight. Once they awakened their manifestations, they would definitely be connected to the stars.
Meanwhile, the other disciples’ Heavenly Fate Disks were completely different, displaying all kinds of colors and images.
Suddenly, space quivered, and Long Chen’s attention was drawn to Bai Shishi. A spot of golden light appeared on her Heavenly Fate Disk, and her aura transformed. Her metal energy surged, causing even Long Chen’s heart to tremble.
“That’s too fast! I didn’t think that her comprehension ability was so high!” Long Chen marveled.
While the Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree unlocked a person’s intelligence, true enlightenment required their own effort. The tree merely cleared their minds and lifted their negative emotions, allowing them to fully utilize their intelligence.
For instance, if a person’s intelligence were rated at one hundred points, the distractions of various emotions might cause them to operate at only sixty or seventy points. Weighed down by pressure and emotions, some people might be so blinded that they couldn’t see the mountain hidden behind the leaf obscuring their eyes.
The Seven Treasure Colored Glass Tree removed that leaf, letting them unleash one hundred points of their intelligence.
In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Bai Shishi’s Heavenly Fate Disk reacted. Long Chen hadn’t expected that this usually obstinate and prideful girl would possess such immense talent and comprehension.
With Bai Shishi’s looks, status, and talent, countless men would be willing to be hers and hers alone for a lifetime. She had always disliked men having more than a single woman, but she had gone against those instincts to be with Long Chen. The mental struggle she endured was something that Long Chen could not understand.
Long Chen sighed, wondering how he had managed to win the love of so many remarkable women. He didn’t know how he could ever repay them for their love.
Suddenly, a sweet smile appeared on Bai Shishi’s face, startling Long Chen. It was as if she had just heard his thoughts.
Just then, the golden spot on her Heavenly Fate Disk started flashing, and more spots appeared—one, two, three, ten, a hundred... Millions of golden spots appeared on the Heavenly Fate Disk. They were like golden stars and slowly formed a human figure.
This figure was extremely unclear at first, but as the golden spots condensed, it revealed a tall, valiant figure with billowing robes and long hair. If it wasn’t Bai Shishi, who else could it be?
“Her manifestation is herself?” Long Chen was shocked.
Bai Shishi slowly opened her eyes, looking at Long Chen with deep emotion. Before he could react, she appeared before him and hugged him tightly.
“Thank you...”
“Shishi, what happened to you?” asked Long Chen. He initially thought she was just happy about awakening her manifestation, but her behavior seemed different.
“Thank you for understanding me. I heard your heart’s voice. I... I’m really happy,” Bai Shishi whispered, holding him tightly.
“You really heard it?” Long Chen was shocked. That was inconceivable. How could Bai Shishi have read his mind?
Nodding, Bai Shishi replied, “Thank you for giving me a spot amongst my big sisters.”
Hearing her say this, Long Chen felt both joy and guilt. He really did owe her a lot.
Glancing around, Long Chen was relieved that everyone else was still in meditation and hadn’t noticed them. Only then did Bai Shishi realize what she was doing and quickly pulled back, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Long Chen stared at her beautiful face. Even with tears on her face, she looked like a lotus breaking the surface of the water. In that moment, he was completely captivated by this peerless beauty.
Bai Shishi grew even more embarrassed after being stared at so openly, but she also felt a sweet feeling well up within her. Being looked at by the person she loved was an indescribable blessing for her.
Suddenly, a sound made them turn away. Someone else had awakened their manifestation, but to their surprise, it was Guo Ran.
