Chapter 38: A quick breakfast
At their current cultivation level, neither of them had the ability to peer into another’s sea of consciousness. So, Yue Ling could only ask questions to confirm whether her junior brother had truly formed the Seed of the Tranquil Dao and completed the first stage of the Lotus Heart Sutra.
"Can you look inward again? What color is it?" she asked.
Langtian closed his eyes and drew in a deep breath. His awareness sank into the space within him, into that vast, still sea.
"It’s white," he murmured. "Pure white... like untouched snow."
"And the pattern?" she asked again.
He paused, studying the seed more closely.
"Hmm... it has a simple five-petaled lotus etched onto the surface. The lines are delicate, glowing, like they were painted with golden ink..."
Yue Ling’s eyes lit up with a glimmer.
"And how does it feel? Any effects so far?"
Langtian furrowed his brows slightly.
"I’m not sure if this counts... but whenever I calm my mind and focus, the lotus seed glows. It pulses with light in sync with my breathing. It’s like... the seed and I are in harmony. We are breathing together, existing together."
Yue Ling stared at him in disbelief.
