As a massive surge of spiritual energy gathered around Lin Feng, his already unstable cultivation base—strained by his rapid breakthroughs—began rising again at an alarming rate.
His sudden enlightennt had triggered the Heavenly Dao, prompting it to bestow a reward upon him.
[The host has gained enlightennt of a new spiritual art. As a result, the Heavenly Dao has granted a boon in recognition of his efforts.]
Lin Feng barely registered the system’s chanical voice echoing in his mind—his attention was consud by the strange changes surging through his body.
My body is being flooded with spiritual energy!
Instead of feeling joy, a wave of anxiety washed over him.
His cultivation was already unstable from his rapid advances, and this sudden influx of energy threatened to push it beyond its limits.
Crap, I just hope I don’t suffer a backlash—or, even worse, get crippled, he thought grimly.
Although his knowledge of cultivation was limited, he understood the risks.
A backlash could cause minor injuries that required days to heal—or, in the worst case, destroy his cultivation entirely, cutting off his path of advancent forever.
"System, what do I do? I can’t stop the flow of spiritual energy on my own!"
Desperation edged his voice as he called out to the system, struggling to contain the wild energy surging through him.
[Responding to host: The host need not worry. Although the Heavenly Dao can be cruel, it bears no inherent malice toward living beings. Since the current surge is a reward, no negative consequences are expected.]
Hearing the system’s explanation, Lin Feng felt a flicker of relief—but suspicion still gnawed at him. After everything he had endured before obtaining the system, how could he trust the Heavenly Dao so easily?
Dang it, whatever. It’s not like I have a choice anymore—I might as well absorb as much spiritual energy as I can!
Once Lin Feng settled on a course of action, all hesitation vanished.
He imdiately focused on absorbing as much spiritual energy as his body could endure.
The shift was instantaneous—and impossible to miss.
BOOM!
"What’s happening to you, Young Master?!" i Ling’s voice trembled with fear.
From the mont Lin Feng froze and the spiritual energy began surging toward him, panic had taken hold of her.
She had never witnessed anything like this before.
All the spiritual energy within the estate was converging on Lin Feng at a terrifying rate.
Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be a problem—but with the spirit-gathering formation active, the sheer concentration of energy was overwhelming.
The air grew thick and oppressive, pressing down like a suffocating swamp.
Before i Ling could react further, the door to Lin Feng’s room burst open with a loud bang as Huang Bei and Yu Miao barged in, one after the other, both drawn by the spiritual energy disturbance.
"What the hell is going on?!" Huang Bei shouted, his voice rough with urgency.
He had been resting in his quarters, nursing his injuries, when he suddenly felt the spiritual energy around him drain away like a river being sucked into a void.
The sensation was so abrupt—and so unnatural—that he imdiately sprang to his feet.
Tracking the surge led him straight to Lin Feng’s room.
When he stepped outside, he spotted Yu Miao moving swiftly toward the source, her expression uncharacteristically grim.
If even she was concerned, then sothing serious was happening. Without hesitation, he decided to follow her.
Yu Miao’s sharp eyes scanned the room the mont she entered.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged at the center, his body trembling slightly as torrents of spiritual energy poured into him from every direction.
It was no ordinary cultivation session—this was sothing far more dangerous. Recognizing the signs imdiately, her heart skipped a beat.
"Step back! Don’t touch him!" she snapped, her tone leaving no room for argunt.
"Any interference could disrupt his process and cause an irreversible backlash!"
i Ling froze mid-step, her outstretched hand trembling as she barely stopped herself from reaching toward Lin Feng.
Panic swelled in her chest as Yu Miao’s warning sank in.
She had been about to check on him—but instead, she clutched her hands tightly together to keep them from shaking.
Nodding quickly, she backed away until she stood beside Yu Miao and Huang Bei.
Despite the rising fear knotting her stomach, she refused to tear her gaze away from Lin Feng.
His face was pale, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, yet the spiritual energy rushing into him showed no sign of slowing.
"Elder Sister, what’s happening to Young Master Lin Feng?" i Ling asked in a hushed voice, anxiety clouding her eyes as she searched Yu Miao’s face for answers.
Beside her, Huang Bei listened intently, his worry for Lin Feng just as evident.
The oppressive atmosphere grew heavier by the second, and for a brief mont, the only sound was the faint hum of spiritual energy crackling through the air.
Yu Miao took a steadying breath before answering, her tone heavy.
"If I’m not mistaken... he’s undergoing enlightennt."
Both i Ling and Huang Bei stiffened in shock.
"The only reason I even know about this," Yu Miao continued, her voice quieter now, "is because I once read about it in an ancient record.
This phenonon only occurs when soone either creates sothing entirely unique—or comprehends an incredibly profound cultivation technique."
Her expression beca even more serious, as she continued.
"This is a rare, fated opportunity. If he succeeds, the insights he gains will prove to be useful all throughout his journey of cultivation!"
Although she maintained a calm façade, Yu Miao’s heart pounded with disbelief as a single thought passed through her head.
A second one?? Could this kid be a supre genius as well?!
The reason she thought this way was simple—although she had told Huang Bei and i Ling that her knowledge of the enlightennt process ca from an ancient record, the truth was far more astonishing.
She had personally witnessed it happen twice before!
One instance was with Chen Zi, the strongest genius of the previous generation of the Chen Clan.
The other was her young mistress, Chen i, who had experienced a similar phenonon during her childhood.
While focusing on her personal cultivation, the surrounding spiritual energy had suddenly surged toward her, triggering an enlightennt that granted her mastery over a unique spiritual art—the Nethersoul Aberration Art, a technique only she could wield.
And now, as Yu Miao watched Lin Feng beco enveloped by the sa mysterious force, her shock only deepened.
