And yet, it continued to disperse even more quickly. Sixty percent. Seventy percent. Eighty percent…. Ninety percent!
Rifts spread out through the illusory world as it began to collapse. A massive wind sprang up, sweeping across everything, attempting to disperse the mist. However, it was in that moment that Bai Xiaochun’s last scraps of consciousness let out an urgent shout.
RUMBLE!
Even as the world crumbled into bits, within the dispersing mist, two red eyes… snapped open!
The life essence spirit had awakened!
**
In the outside world, Bai Xiaochun’s deep enlightenment went past forty days. It continued on and on. Fifty days. Sixty days. Seventy days. Eighty days. Ninety days…. One hundred days!
The number of days which had passed left the north bank disciples in complete terror.
“A hundred days! More than three months! Bai Xiaochun… is still in deep enlightenment!!”
“He’s not gonna die, is he…?”
“This is shocking! I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire life!”
The Outer Sect disciples were terrified, and the Inner Sect disciples were shaken. Beihan Lie and the other Chosen felt as if their minds were being struck by lightning. But things weren’t over. 101 days. 120 days. 130 days. It was at that point, sometime in the afternoon, that Bai Xiaochun began to tremble.
People immediately noticed. They rubbed their eyes, looked again, and when it was certain that Bai Xiaochun was shaking, people began to cry out in surprise.
It was in that very moment that… Bai Xiaochun opened his eyes!

Chapter
129: Bone Spur!
A blank look could still be seen in Bai Xiaochun’s eyes. Although his consciousness had returned, he still hadn’t completely recovered from the experience of being in the illusory world of deep enlightenment. The real world around him almost didn’t seem real at first.
Soon the disciples from the Hall of Justice noticed what was happening, and looked over at him. As for the Outer Sect disciples in the audience, their eyes went wide, and they began to cry out in shock.
“130 days!”
“He took five times as long as Eldest Brother Ghostfang to enter deep enlightenment, and spent five times as long inside!”
The clamoring Outer Sect disciples quickly produced jade slips to send word to their friends that Bai Xiaochun had awakened. Soon, a tempest raged in the north bank as countless disciples got the messages and began to race over to the trial platform.
As he sat there beneath the trial platform statue, his eyes blank, he slowly lifted his right hand and then pushed it out in front of him.
“Waterswamp…” he whispered.
Few people could hear him, but as soon as the word left his mouth, massive rumbling sounds echoed out that could shake heaven and earth. They were like peals of heavenly thunder crashing in everyone’s ears.
BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM!
Three massive crashing sounds shocked everyone to the core. At the same time, a boundless field of water vapor spread out in all directions.
9 meters. 30 meters. 150 meters. 300 meters…. All the way to 600 meters!
Bai Xiaochun was surrounded by a boundless field of water vapor 600 meters wide. The water vapor instantly reduced visibility, making it difficult to see anything clearly. Furthermore, all of the disciples within the vapor suddenly gasped as a powerful force suddenly pushed against them.
The pushing force was so powerful that none of the disciples could fight against it. In the blink of an eye, they were pushed away until not a single person remained within 300 meters of Bai Xiaochun.
The haze created by the water vapor rose up high into the sky, even altering the energy of heaven and earth in the area. A huge vortex began to spin, completely shaking all the observing disciples, who couldn’t help but think about the clawed ghost hand which appeared when Ghostfang unleashed Ghosts Haunt the Night.
That was a secret magic that didn’t seem possible for Qi Condensation disciples to unleash, and left the north bank disciples not only with a feeling of deep respect for Ghostfang, but also, fear. Furthermore… they were experiencing exactly the same thing with Bai Xiaochun right now!
Gasps could be heard as more and more disciples rushed over to the scene. Many of them were Inner Sect disciples, including Beihan Lie, the Gongsun siblings, and Xu Song.
As soon as they saw the vortex, and Bai Xiaochun, their faces flickered with astonishment.
“Waterswamp Kingdom!”
“He must have succeeded in cultivating it! But what kind of life essence spirit did he get…?”
Ghostfang hovered there, staring down at Bai Xiaochun. The desire to fight sprang up in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
As the disciples watched, trembling, the four peak lords of the north bank arrived, as well as Li Qinghou.
“I really look forward to seeing Bai Xiaochun’s life essence spirit!”
“He’s only unleashed the waterswamp, and yet the energy is astounding. I wonder what’s inside….”
Li Qinghou’s eyes shone with delight; he keenly anticipated what would result now that Bai Xiaochun had awoken from deep enlightenment.
As everyone looked on, Bai Xiaochun slowly lifted his head. His eyes were still blank as he suddenly… lowered his right hand!
“…. Kingdom!” he murmured.
In that very instant, a series of gasps rang out among the audience as an indescribable aura erupted out from within Bai Xiaochun to fill the entire area.
Within that 600-meter-area, everything was hazy, making it difficult to see anything clearly. But now… the dense water vapor transformed into… a swamp!
The roar of a beast could be heard from within the waterswamp, bizarre and seemingly filled with the voices of countless other beasts.
ROAR!!
The sky trembled and the ground shook. Everyone who heard the sound, regardless of the level of their cultivation base, was left shaken. At the same time, varying levels of pressure began to push down on everyone.
As the roar echoed out, the battle beasts belonging to the various disciples of the north bank all reacted by throwing their heads back and howling aggressively. All of them were instantly thrown into chaos.
In the Beast Conservatory, the nearly one thousand beasts all began to howl. It didn’t take long before all of the beasts on the north bank had joined together, sending deafening howls out in all directions. The north bank disciples were trembling.
“Just what kind of life essence spirit does Bai Xiaochun have in his Waterswamp Kingdom!?!?”
“Heavens, how is he doing this!?” The disciples, faces flashing with shock, struggled to keep their battle beasts under control. That was especially true of the Inner Sect disciples, whose battle beasts were of a different blood order, making their reactions even stronger and more violent, to the point where they seemed crazed.
The crowd struggled with their beasts, and the sound of roaring filled the air.
The 600-meter-wide waterswamp twisted and distorted, as if it were being projected from some outside world. Furthermore, there seemed to be some unseen beast struggling to break through a barrier from another world to burst out into this one.
Suddenly, the waterswamp shook violently, and a huge mountain peak rose up from the very middle of it!
It was enormous, but upon closer inspection, it seemed obvious that… because the waterswamp was only 600 meters across, this was only the very tip of the mountain!!
But then, further examination revealed a spine-tingling truth. It wasn’t a mountain peak, it was… the tip of a bone spur!!
“A bone spur! Heavens! That’s the tip of a bone spur!”
“The tip of that bone spur is 600 meters wide. How big is the beast itself? This life essence spirit… what exactly does it look like?!”
Energy that could shake heaven and earth exploded from the Waterswamp Kingdom. As the blast spread out in all directions, the battle beasts went completely out of control. Howling at the tops of their lungs, they began to throw themselves down to the ground in prostration!
