Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2854 - 2853: Enlightenment!

Lin Dong's consciousness and spirit felt as though they were immersed in an unending ocean, each faint sound like a desperate battle against inner turmoil, on the verge of shattering the fog within his heart.

"Restrain, restrain..." These two words repeated endlessly in his mind, like an incantation.

At this crucial juncture, he had grasped the vital point.

Confronting the Water Origin that was perilously close to engulfing him, Lin Dong understood that raw power alone was insufficient to overcome such an ancient and formidable force.

"Since Water counters Fire, what then counters Water?" This question, like a lightning strike, cleaved through the obscurity in his mind.

Flashes of memory rapidly coalesced, revealing the principle of mutual generation and restraint among the five elements, which surged forth like a fountain—Earth, it was, that held dominion over Water.

Earth Energy possessed the ability to envelop Water, to blunt its sharpness, rendering it incapable of exerting its power.

This revelation ignited a spark of hope in Lin Dong's eyes, and his Mental State consequently solidified with greater resolve.

However, the Water Origin offered no respite.

It took form, mirroring Lin Dong's own appearance, adopting the visage he knew best, as if to taunt and provoke the deepest recesses of his soul.

The droplet of Water, condensed from pure energy, instantly transformed into an impossibly sharp Sword, its gleam chilling to the bone, radiating a power potent enough to tear through the void.

"Let me witness how many more of my Sword strikes you can withstand," the Water Origin's voice boomed near Lin Dong's ear, imbued with absolute authority and icy menace.

As the words faded, the Water Sword, accompanied by a roaring gale, plunged directly towards Lin Dong's core.

This time, Lin Dong eschewed a direct confrontation. Instead, he drew a deep breath, retracting the Reverse Scale Transformation and the Limitless Transformation of his Dragon Blood Holy Body.

He closed his eyes, attuning himself to the pulse of the Earth, as if forging a mystical connection with the very ground beneath him.

Following this, Lin Dong unleashed the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, his form blurring into a streak of flowing light as he instantaneously burrowed underground, leaving behind only a cloud of shimmering dust and the slightly bewildered stare of the Water Origin.

"Pulling out that old trick again, hiding like a rat?" the Water Origin scoffed, its voice laced with disdain, yet betraying an underlying apprehension towards Lin Dong's evasive maneuver.

It was acutely aware that Water's innate fluidity made it ubiquitous, but beneath the vast expanse of the boundless Earth, precisely locating Lin Dong presented a significant challenge.

"But where can you escape to? Water is omnipresent; I shall find you." The Water Origin's declaration signaled the commencement of a protracted and grueling chase.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong found himself within a secluded cavern deep beneath the earth.

Solid rock surrounded him, insulating him from all external disturbances.

He closed his eyes, gathering his spirit, endeavoring to integrate the "Earth Dao" he had previously comprehended within the Five Elements Origin Heart into his Mental Power.

This was an utterly novel experience; Lin Dong seemed to perceive the profound weight and immutability of the Earth, alongside the all-encompassing, perpetually renewing strength of the Earth Element.

As his Mental Power flowed gradually, Lin Dong's Mental State grew progressively tranquil. He felt as though he were merging with the land itself, every fiber of his being echoing a deep reverence and comprehension of the Earth Dao.

"If I can meld the Earth Dao into my Mental Power, I am certain I can shatter its Origins of Water and Escape!"

Deep within the earth, concealed by the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, Lin Dong mused to himself.

Yet, aspirations often diverge from reality; the perfect fusion of this immense Earth Dao with his own Mental Power emerged as yet another formidable obstacle.

Lin Dong recognized that this undertaking demanded not only exceptional acuity but also a profound grasp and command of the five elements' power.

He shut his eyes, concentrating his spirit, attempting to weave, piece by painstaking piece, the enlightenment gained from the Five Elements Origin Heart into his own spiritual realm.

But this process proved far more intricate than anticipated; the inherent gravitas and stability of the Earth Dao created a subtle dissonance with his Mental Power, as if the two belonged to entirely separate worlds, resistant to amalgamation.

"Calm down. Now, more than ever, I must achieve true calmness, to enter that state of Unity between Heaven and Man," he admonished himself inwardly, compelling absolute focus and serenity.

At this moment, his thoughts unexpectedly turned to the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, itself an Earth-attributed technique.

The Earth Dao was contained within. Perhaps, with the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, the key to integrating the Earth Dao into his Mental Power could be discovered. Lin Dong began to meticulously recall every element of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique: the pulse of the Earth, the circulation of the Earth Element, and finally, how to achieve resonance with it... Gradually, a faint hint emerged—a feeling of communion with nature, of existing in complete harmony with it. He attempted to instill this sensation into his own Mental Power, transforming it from a purely conscious force into a bridge capable of perceiving, comprehending, and controlling the Earth Dao. As Lin Dong was engrossed in this profound process of Enlightenment, the Water Origin in the external world was actively operating. Despite Lin Dong employing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique to conceal his presence, the Water Origin, as one of the Five Elements, had mastered its dominion over Water to its zenith. It commenced the mobilization of the surrounding Water Element, constructing an expansive perceptive network, akin to an invisible shroud slowly unfurling towards Lin Dong's location. Deep beneath the earth, Lin Dong progressively sensed an increasingly potent Water aura; it felt as though it were being guided by an unseen force, systematically advancing towards him. "There's precious little time remaining." His heart constricted; he was acutely aware that the Water Origin would not cease its pursuit so readily. Should it pinpoint his exact whereabouts, facing its formidable assaults while simultaneously striving for Enlightenment would prove exceedingly perilous. Furthermore, his reserves could not endure excessive depletion! Under this intense pressure, Lin Dong fully immersed himself in a state of Sudden Enlightenment. This represented a Realm that surpassed ordinary Meditation, bordering on the Unity of Heaven and Man. Within this state, time appeared to lose all significance; the distinction between Lin Dong's Mental Power and the Earth Dao began to fade. He felt as though he had become one with the Earth, perceiving with absolute clarity every tremor and every shift of the Earth Element. Within this spiritual expanse, Lin Dong gradually uncovered the method to fuse the Earth Dao with his Mental Power. He directed the Earth Element and his own Mental Power to intertwine and blend, ultimately forging an entirely novel form of power. This newfound force embodied the steadfastness and solidity of the Earth Dao, coupled with the incisiveness and nimbleness of Mental Power; it was precisely the instrument he would wield against the Water Origin's Water Escape. Upon emerging from the state of Sudden Enlightenment, Lin Dong's eyes blazed with an unparalleled determination and self-assurance. "I grasp it..." Lin Dong's gaze suddenly ignited in the dim subterranean depths, as if the very stars resided within them. At long last, following ceaseless contemplation and investigation, he had touched upon the fundamental secret of integrating the Earth Dao into a Spiritual Attack. In that very moment, an indescribable connection was forged with the Earth Element suspended between Sky and ground, his heart resonating with the Dao, wisdom erupting like a torrential spring.
