Transcendent Insight: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Douluo

At the convergence point of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, beneath a three-thousand-meter cliff, a golden-red lotus bloomed in radiant splendor. Its petals shimmered like dawn-kissed clouds or sunset-gilded waves, interwoven with an aura of boundless wisdom.

At its center grew a miraculous ten-centimeter-tall Bodhi tree. Its crystalline trunk, carved from what seemed like pure crystal, bore lush green leaves tinged with a faint crimson glow—perfectly harmonizing with the lotus in a display of primal perfection.

This was the Enlightenment Bodhi Flower, the King of Immortal Herbs.

Since ancient times, the Bodhi tree had symbolized enlightenment. Legend told of Sakyamuni Buddha meditating beneath one for forty-nine days before attaining supreme wisdom. Now, here it stood atop the lotus, radiating an ethereal light that bathed Wu Tong's soul in clarity. The soft glow carried whispered chants of Sanskrit, resonating with the deepest truths of existence.

Wu Tong studied the flower, then glanced skyward. Still daytime—no rush. He sat cross-legged beside it, activating his soul power. The Heart's Eye emerged between his brows, its dual abilities—Perspective and Insight—dissecting the herb's structure.

As he observed, an imperceptible golden wisp drifted from the flower into his forehead. The light speck struck a white dot in his consciousness sea, which devoured it hungrily before stirring to life. Like an unchained hound, it frolicked through his mind, scattering luminous dust that expanded his mental realm.

"Hmm? Just observing it sharpens my intellect?" Wu Tong marveled at his accelerated thoughts. "No wonder it's tied to Buddha's enlightenment."

Hours melted away as he analyzed the flower's structure. By the time his wrist-mounted Soul Guide vibrated—alerting midnight—the full moon hung flawless in the sky.

"A full moon night…" Wu Tong's gaze dropped to the lotus. Its petals, once half-furled, now unfurled fully, blazing with golden brilliance. "It's ripe? This coincidence is… suspicious."

Only two explanations came to mind: either the world's will or a transcendent entity like Buddha had orchestrated this timing. "But resisting is pointless," he conceded. "Might as well enjoy it."

Reaching out, he plucked the flower effortlessly—no trial, no resistance. "So much for 'chance'," he sighed. Following the Complete Explanation, he extracted the central Bodhi tree, placing it atop his head, then consumed the petals and their crimson nectar—Bodhi Blood—before meditating.

As the Red Wheel Heart Sutra circulated, the Bodhi tree levitated, showering crystalline energy into his mind. The white dot absorbed it voraciously until—boom!—a surge of energy encased Wu Tong in a luminous cocoon. Inside, he curled fetus-like, his body and soul undergoing metamorphosis.

Meanwhile…

Dugu Yan awoke, her reborn body thrumming with power. A smile curled her lips as she summoned her evolved martial soul.

Under the moonlit sky, a colossal two-headed black dragon materialized. Dozens of feet long, its night-black scales drank the surrounding light.

The left head, inherited from her Emerald Phosphorus Serpent, bore vermillion eyes and a sinister grin, a dark-green crystal embedded between its horns.

The right head, tempered by the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, radiated stoic might, its amber gaze and yellow-brown crystal exuding earthen resilience.

Its whip-like tail and steel-taloned limbs promised devastating power.

"Hah! Yan'er, this is your evolved form?" Dugu Bo strode over, his own transformation complete. "A top-tier martial soul if I've ever seen one!"
