Chapter 29: Enlightenment

  In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.

  Under the orange sunset, a flock of seagulls flew back to the coast from far out at sea, their cries of "oh-ah" and "oh-ah" seeming to celebrate the harvest of the day, yet also bidding farewell to a beautiful day...

  Lei Hao sat cross-legged, his right hand propping up his chin on the top of Huaguo Mountain, basking in the sunlight and staring blankly at a stubborn rock on the coast that was welcoming wave after wave. He hadn't noticed that he had been maintaining this posture for a whole day.

  That boulder is over a dozen zhang high and twenty or so wide, its uneven surface is so ugly. This boulder stands quietly on the coast like that.

  A loud "Boom" sound echoed, a massive wave rushed in from the nearby sea, with waves rising to dozens of meters high, the surging waves emitted an unstoppable aura, as if they were howling and screaming at those who dared to block their path. In the face of nature's power, human strength was so weak, even the inner elixir realm demons were no match for this massive wave, not to mention Lei Hao, who would likely be injured even if he confronted it head-on, his ultimate move "Fissure" was also insignificant in front of this massive wave.

  The mighty waves, with a reckless and desperate momentum, fiercely crashed onto the shore, crashing onto that stubborn rock. The white foam immediately submerged the shore, submerged the stubborn rock, and the giant wave made a "whooshing" sound of victory, rushing out of the shore for a distance before turning into calm seawater and receding back, slowly revealing that stubborn rock again.

  That piece remains still, as if the mighty waves of heaven had never crashed against it, standing quietly, anciently and steadfastly in place, without a hint of movement.

  At this time, the stubborn stone had no momentum at all, but in Lei Hao's eyes, it was so majestic and unshakeable. Just like an ancient great witch who stood on the coast with a profound gaze, looking towards the other end of the sea, without any aura, yet carrying an eternal and indelible meaning.

  Lei Hao's heart was filled with a multitude of unpleasant emotions, wanting to erupt but always unable to find an outlet.

  The coastline, which had just been hit by a huge wave, did not remain calm for long. Soon, another wave came, and then another, with no end in sight. These waves crashed against the rocks countless times, as if they would never stop. The rocks stood firm, unmoving, as if the spray that landed on them was just a gentle breeze, quietly standing still, gazing out at the distant horizon.

  Lei Hao's heart had something more, an inexpressible flavor was added to the explosive emotions.

  Lei Hao stared blankly at the coastline that would never be quiet, staring like an unyielding boulder that would never fall, with a glimmer of enlightenment flashing in his eyes.

  When the red sunset slowly fell, darkness enveloped the entire earth, and the bright moonlight covered the earth with a layer of soft and gentle gauze, and the noisy earth slowly became quiet.

  The passage of time did not awaken the entranced Lei Hao, who continued to rest his chin and gaze out at the Flower Fruit Mountain coastline as it welcomed wave after wave of boulders.

  Only Lei Hao's eyes had lost their focus, his empty eyes staring at the coastline.

  In his eyes, the big or small white waves have turned into wide or narrow white lines, and that stubborn rock has turned into a black dot.

  Time slipped away, the bright moonlight slowly pulled the majestic shadow of Lei Hao from east to west, soon, the moon fell, and the fiery red sun shyly poked out half its head.

  Another boisterous day has begun, and the diligent seagulls have once again spread their wings towards the distant horizon of the vast ocean, with the clear sunlight illuminating the earth.

  The clear sunlight still hasn't awakened the entranced Lei Hao, he remains in that posture, like the statue known as "The Thinker", motionless and gazing out at the coastline. The quiet surroundings are occasionally illuminated by a flash of white light, and a thick aura of death envelops the entire mountaintop.

  Within a radius of fifty zhang with Lei Hao as the center, there was not a single living creature, not even a tiny insect. Fifty zhang away, many bird and beast corpses were scattered about.

  At this time, Lei Hao's empty eyes were filled with golden light, and those white waves of various sizes in his mind had turned into a series of fierce or strange attacks. The stubborn stone had transformed into a knife, an invincible knife.

  After a thrilling battle with the Purple Bat King, Lei Hao took another big step forward on his knife path. His idea of "one technique to break all laws" also gained more content. In recent years, he has been practicing the "Six-Piece Departure from Fire and Golden Immortal's Secret" at the top of Huaguo Mountain every day, watching the rise and fall of the sea tide. Today, when he inadvertently saw that stubborn rock on the coast, his epiphany burst out like a geyser. He looked at it for a whole day and night.

  The knife in Leihao's mind kept slashing out one after another, each slash leaving a different mark, apparently Leihao was constantly evolving this knife.

  Lei Hao's mind gradually slowed down the speed of the knife being drawn, and the light emitted by the knife also became more intense.

  When it was high noon, the scorching sun was burning the earth, Lei Hao's whole body was already shrouded in a sheet of knife light, and the pressure on the top of the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. Even many wild beasts that had not yet opened their spiritual wisdom in Huaguo Mountain had escaped from the upper half of Huaguo Mountain.

  This naturally startled the monsters in the Water Curtain Cave, but they knew that Leihao was cultivating on the mountain top, and even if they were now, they couldn't withstand the substantial pressure of the mountain top, so they all collectively guarded the mountain top to protect Leihao.

  "Boom! Boom!" From the depths of the ocean came a series of thunderous roars, like an angry dragon's howl. A large flock of seagulls frantically flew towards the shore, as if something terrifying was lurking in the depths of the sea. The sound startled a group of monkeys on the beach, who also ran wildly into the Flower Fruit Mountain. A group of "earth demons" guarding Lei Hao looked at each other in confusion and wonder.

  After the half-column fragrance, a white line appeared on the sea level and slowly rushed towards the coast.

  After a stick of incense, the white line had advanced to the near sea, and from a distance it looked like a blue city wall covered with snowflakes.

  When the city wall was closer, the little fox and other demons confirmed that it was a tsunami, a very terrible tsunami. The waves came one after another, like a group of mountains, with the highest ones already reaching two hundred zhang.

  The azure waves reflect the sunlight and illuminate the Flower-Fruit Mountain like a dreamy underwater world.

  The little fox looked at the terrifying tsunami on the sea and muttered to himself in concern: "Such a terrible tsunami, don't disturb my cultivation." The worried little fox habitually glanced up at the top of the mountain, only to discover that something was amiss after looking.

  "Huh? The sword aura on the mountain peak has disappeared, it must be that the cultivation of the head was interrupted." The cute little fox rubbed her eyes, confirming that she wasn't seeing things wrong, and pointed at the mountain peak in a shrill voice.

  When the little fox's cry was heard, Leigong and the other demons turned their heads from the terrifying tsunami to find that the knife aura on the mountain top had disappeared. "Disappeared? Why didn't his head come down?" Lei Dabao asked after seeing it, and the demons looked at each other after hearing it, and a bad idea rose in their hearts.

  "Can't be, right? Won't he...” The straightforward words of the fox were cut off by itself as it was startled by its own thoughts. They were very familiar with Lei Hao's craziness and what he would do when he got into a frenzy. For example, that time they attacked the Snake Demon Cave, or that time he created the knife technique "Fissure", or that time he challenged the Tiger Great Leader, or that battle against the Purple Bat King.

  "No way, the head must be on top of the mountain to watch the excitement." The little fox said with a huff, staring at the saber-toothed tiger with a glare, and before finishing speaking, it took off running towards the top of the mountain.

  "No way, no way, he's not that crazy, he must be on the mountain top watching the excitement with his hands on the cow horn." The little fox comforted herself while running, but she was destined to be disappointed. Because on the stone where Lei Hao usually sat at the top of the mountain, there was nothing except a deep butt print.

  The little fox looked around anxiously, trying to find Leihao, but after searching the entire mountain top, there was no sign of Leihao.

  "Look, isn't that the head?" Sharp-eyed Lei Dahu pointed at Lei Hao standing beside the stubborn rock on the coast and said to Xiao Hu Li. Xiao Hu Li followed Lei Dahu's hand and looked over, Lei Hao's face was calm at this time, his hands grasping Tulong, looking up at the tsunami that was coming from all directions.

  The sharp-eyed little fox also found that Lei Hao and the stubborn stone beside him were so similar, although she herself thought this idea was strange. "How can a domineering head be similar to that ugly stone?" The little fox asked in her heart. The despicable Lei Hao had always been full of domineering heads in her small world.

  Seeing Lei Hao indeed being as crazy as they thought, challenging the tsunami, the anxiety on Xiao Hu Li's face slowly faded away, and she regained her calmness. In her heart, Lei Hao was her husband, no matter what choice he made, she would support him. The worst outcome, "was just to die together with him", Xiao Hu Li firmly told herself in her heart.

  Thinking of this, the little fox's eyes became even more determined. She stared blankly at Lei Hao, staring at Lei Hao who was facing such a terrifying tsunami with a calm face and even seemed to be eager to try, she was so proud. This hero who surpassed the world was not someone else, but her husband, Little Fox.

  The tsunami is approaching, the tsunami is approaching. A deafening roar resounded throughout the Mountain of Fruits and Flowers. The pressure from the waves, which were over a hundred meters high, was so overwhelming that several brothers in Lei Wei's group who were not very determined wanted to turn around and run away. However, when they saw all their fellow brothers gritting their teeth and persevering, they couldn't bring themselves to move their legs. They suppressed their trembling with all their might, their eyes reddening as they persisted.

  Lei Hao had been in a state of epiphany about the knife technique, and when the tsunami came, he suddenly realized that he still needed to rely on the power of the tsunami to fully grasp it. Lei Hao, who was lost in thought, didn't hesitate at all and instantly appeared beside the stubborn stone from the top of Huaguo Mountain, his entire body's energy locked onto the terrifying tsunami.

  At this time, the terrifying tsunami brought a sense of oppression through Lei Hao's air machine, shrouding his body, the heavier and heavier pressure forced Lei Hao to vomit blood, he gritted his teeth and grasped the dragon-slaying sword in his hand, his eyes slowly filled with blood, he slowly went mad.

  If Rei Hao's skills are unable to comprehend the sword moves in the tsunami, he will likely die.

  "If you don't go crazy, you won't live." Lei Hao said to himself in his heart.
