Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea-Chapter 457 - 252: Hundred Years of Enlightenment!_2

His divine light burst forth, clearly possessing a powerful Divine Body.

"Defeat the three of us, and you pass this level. You can choose to admit defeat at any point."

The three false bodies spoke simultaneously with clear, resonating voices that echoed all around.

Lu Li’s expression was extremely grave; this level was evidently not easy to clear.

It was only the first level, and it already cast a shadow over his heart.

However, he was not one to just sit and wait for death; he was ready to make a move.

"Kill."

Lu Li transformed into a massive figure tens of meters tall, resembling a deity from the ancient times, with an aura as deep as the abyss.

At the thought, a Divine Weapon appeared in his hand, exuding a chilling gleam and a ferocious aura.

Just as Lu Li made his move, the three false bodies also acted.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The three also activated their Divine Skills, transforming into giant figures identical to Lu Li.

Each held a Divine Axe in their hands, their auras fiercely soaring.

Lu Li’s expression tightened.

These three used the very same methods as he did, effectively meaning he had to face three versions of himself simultaneously, a difficulty that was not hard to imagine.

While Lu Li pondered, the three figures swiftly charged forward, surrounding him completely in a strategic formation.

Their connected auras dramatically increased the pressure, weighing down on Lu Li like a massive mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Slash."

Lu Li hesitated no longer and swung his axe forward.

With this strike, he unleashed the full Power of the World, reaching his pinnacle of power.

The axe’s blade glowed brilliantly, slicing through the void with a terrifying aura.

The three figures also swung their axes.

The Divine Weapons came at Lu Li from three directions, bringing a series of thunderous noises.

The glint of their axes was identical to Lu Li’s, even their auras were exactly the same.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Soon, the two forces collided.

A colossal sound burst towards the heavens, accompanied by endless Gang Wind sweeping in, sending chills down one’s spine.

Lu Li was directly struck to the ground, creating a tremendous impact noise.

The Divine Weapon in his hand also dimmed, his arm trembling uncontrollably.

After that single strike, he was already at a severe disadvantage, additionally sustaining some injuries.

He had now fully understood his opponents’ capabilities.

"Damn!"

These three had the same cultivation and techniques as his own self. He couldn’t think of any way to defeat three versions of himself.

Such a condition was almost unachievable.

No one in the entire spiritual realm had even heard of it.

Could it be that those from the Great Thousand World were truly so formidable?

This piqued his curiosity significantly.

As Lu Li pondered again, the three attacked once more with an overwhelming force.

Lu Li did not immediately give up; clenching his teeth, he raised his axe to meet them.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The two sides fought a bloody battle in the void, Gang Wind ravaging the area, dust and smoke billowing, visibility poor.

Lu Li was completely overwhelmed by the three, in a dire state.

Gradually, wounds appeared on his body, and blood covered him.

Were it not for his body being astonishingly tough, reaching the level of a Spiritual Treasure, he might not have lasted a few breaths.

But even so, he would not be able to hold on much longer.

A few breaths later.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Lu Li swung his axe, clearing the giant axe in front of him, but his body was severely smashed twice, sending him plummeting towards the ground.

He quickly spoke out, "I admit defeat."

As soon as the words fell, the three figures instantly vanished, leaving only Lu Li standing alone on the ground.

Amidst the flickering spiritual light, the battlefield instantly restored itself, and the path behind reappeared as if the intense battle had never occurred.

Lu Li looked around at his surroundings with a sigh.

The battle just now felt like a dream, utterly without resistance.

Even if he fought a thousand times more, he would never be able to defeat the three.

This slightly disheartened him.

Was he destined not to inherit the Spiritual Objects in the Immortal Mansion?

At that moment, Lu Li’s eyes suddenly brightened.

He immediately walked towards the exit.

Since he wasn’t the first owner, the previous few must have passed this level.

He just needed to ask the ancestor.

Before long, Lu Li arrived at the original square.

There he saw the Spirit Monkey, still there, looking at Lu Li with a smile.

"Failed?"

"Yes."

Lu Li nodded faintly.

"Is there something else the Elder hasn’t told me?"

"Didn’t you ask?"

Spirit Monkey chuckled.

Lu Li’s expression froze, feeling somewhat helpless, as he had been too impatient just now.

It had caused him to be tormented after entering.

Now he was thoroughly cautious.

"Come with me."

At that moment, Spirit Monkey quickly walked towards a palace on the side.

Lu Li followed closely behind.

After crossing a huge square, the two arrived in front of a large hall.

Lu Li and Spirit Monkey stepped in together.

The hall was very spacious, with nothing but a large stele in the center.

The stele stood over thirty feet tall, its whole body jet-black, and was covered in golden runes that gleamed brilliantly, making it extremely lavish.

The stele emitted an indescribable charm.

"What is this?"

Lu Li was puzzled, realizing at a glance that this object was extraordinary.

"This is the Enlightenment Stele, another most important treasure besides the Sky Tower. Even the old master had exerted great effort to acquire this item."

"The core of the Immortal Mansion lies in these two objects."

A proud look appeared on Spirit Monkey’s face.

"Enlightenment Stele?"

Lu Li was still somewhat confused.

Since mastering Divine Skills over a hundred years ago, it had always been his greatest reliance.

However, after his Nascent Soul breakthrough, the increase in combat power was not as significant as expected, which had puzzled him.

Now, the words of Elder Spirit Monkey were beginning to unravel this mystery.

Lu Li remained silent, quietly waiting.

After a moment.

Spirit Monkey’s gaze became elusive: "Divine Skills were created by the ancient powers observing the laws of heaven and earth."

"To unleash the greatest power of Divine Skills, one must understand their underlying principles; otherwise, it’s merely for show."

"If you want to defeat the three illusory bodies, you must enter the threshold of the Great Dao, and then you might barely manage it."

Hearing this, Lu Li suddenly understood a lot.

No wonder his Divine Skills had not felt so powerful since his Nascent Soul breakthrough.

It was because he lacked some comprehension of the Dao.

"Is this how all the cultivators of the Great Thousand World practice?"

Lu Li asked again.

"Only some top geniuses can cultivate the Dao to a profound level."

Spirit Monkey shook his head with a smile.

"Not only that, since the Great Dao is hidden in voidness and hard to find, it is extremely difficult to get started."

"As for the Small Thousand World, it is basically impossible to learn the Great Dao there."

"When you later travel the Great Thousand World and seek the Heavenly Immortal Dao, you’ll surely meet those unparalleled geniuses."

Lu Li nodded solemnly.

He was very grateful for the Elder’s relentless guidance.

Next, he slowly walked towards the Enlightenment Stele, sat down cross-legged beside it,

and began formally to contemplate the Dao contained in the stele.

Seeing this, Spirit Monkey also retreated, and soon disappeared on the square.

Lu Li’s Divine Sense slowly probed towards the stele.

"Hum..."

As soon as he made contact, he felt as if morning bells and evening drums were ringing beside him.

A sensation that penetrated deep into his soul swept over him, rendering him incapable of controlling himself, and his heart greatly stirred.

"That day, Shun arrived in the Chaotic Void..."

The golden runes on the stele suddenly burst forth with light.

Although he didn’t recognize the characters on it, at that moment, he directly understood their true meaning.

He began to read aloud with all his might.

The rune inscriptions narrated the spiritual journey of a formidable person named Shun, who traveled in all directions and pioneered worlds.

The golden characters seemed to contain some magic power, and each phrase he read purified his mind further.

His thoughts grew more fervent, and in his sea of consciousness, his entire soul radiated a glowing radiance, immensely divine.

Lu Li dared not neglect, his whole mind and body immersed in the article.

Time slowly passed.

In a flash, a hundred years had gone by.

Lu Li didn’t know how many times he had recited it.

Each recitation made him feel profoundly enlightened, his mind becoming increasingly clear.

The hidden dangers of his rapid advancements in recent years had vanished.

His entire foundation had also become much more stable.

At this moment, he felt as if his soul had ascended, the benefits were remarkably astonishing.

Just then, an anomaly occurred.

Lu Li felt his entire spirit being sucked into the stele, arriving in a Chaotic Void.
