Chapter 133: Sudden Enlightennt at Any Ti!
Translator: 549690339 |
“All, this…”
Xu Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that the purple-robed old Daoist had good intentions, and he also knew how special this ginkgo tree was!
This tree was personally planted by Laozi, who had preached and taught the Dao Te Jing under it. Throughout ancient and modern tis, many Daoist predecessors have also gained enlightennt under this tree!
As a result, this ginkgo tree contains many Daoist rhys and even the comprehension of “Dao” by the predecessors!
Within the Daoist circle and the martial world, countless people have wished to cultivate under this ginkgo tree but never had the chance. The Buddhist Bodhi Enlightennt Tree and the ancient ginkgo tree of Zongsheng Palace were equally coveted.
Not giving Xu Yang a chance to speak, the purple-robed old Daoist continued, “Alright, you better start cultivating… In seven days, Wang Hou will co here to learn the way of the land immortals under this ginkgo tree.”
He walked away, swaying his hands behind his back.
He t an old man on the way.
The old man had white hair and a youthful face. His age seed to be on par with Grandmaster Chengming, but in reality, their seniority was quite different.
This old man was known as “Supre Sage Shancun,” the current “Palace Master” of Zongsheng Palace.
Of course.
Even if he was the Palace Master, when he saw Grandmaster Chengming, he had to respectfully address him as his “ancestor.”
“Ancestor, Xu Yang has only just entered the realm of Daoism a few days ago. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for him to cultivate under the ginkgo tree now?” Supre Sage Shancun bowed and asked.
When cultivating and enlightening oneself under the ginkgo tree, accumulating a certain foundation is best so as to make steady progress.
Xu Yang had only just entered Daoism. In the eyes of Supre Sage Shancun, he must have drained all of his foundation and should continue to cultivate and accumulate more before he can truly benefit.
However, Grandmaster Chengming said, “When I first t him, he was only in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Who would have thought he’d enter Daoism so quickly? Since I’ve promised him the opportunity to cultivate and enlighten himself under the ginkgo tree, so be it.”
“Whether he can gain insight within these seven days depends on him.”
The purple-robed old Daoist yawned and said, “I can’t help it. When you get old, you always want to sleep… Let take a nap. Wake up when Wang Hou arrives in seven days.”
He returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and soon fell asleep.
At this mont.
Under the ginkgo tree, Xu Yang could only reluctantly sit cross-legged.
After all…
This was the goodwill of his elders.
To cultivate and enlighten oneself under the ginkgo tree was a precious opportunity that others sought but could not attain. He knew he had to appreciate it.
As he sat down cross-legged, Xu Yang began to cultivate.
Soon, he found out that the ginkgo tree was extraordinary!
When cultivating under the tree, he could enter the state more quickly, and circulating the Divine Ascension Scripture was smoother too. Moreover, absorbing spiritual aura, transforming it into magical power, and enhancing his cultivation base was significantly faster than when he was cultivating at ho.
However-
Compared to “adding points to his cultivation,” it still paled in comparison.
Xu Yang cultivated for about an hour, feeling refreshed and satisfied.
“Indeed, cultivating by oneself is more enjoyable.”
“It seems that when I have free ti later, I can cultivate by myself for an hour every day… Although it doesn’t have a significant effect on improving my cultivation base, how can others understand the pleasure within it?”
He cultivated for another hour or so, getting increasingly irritable.
It was indeed enjoyable to cultivate on one’s own.
However, the speed of improving his cultivation base was too slow, right?
“At this rate, it might take two years to break through to the mid-Entering Dao Realm, and not even five years will guarantee reaching the late- Entering Dao Realm… To accumulate enough cultivation base to reach the peak of the Entering Dao Realm, it would probably take at least ten years!”
Ten years?
He was already 32 years old…
He had no ti for this!
So he made up his mind…
“Ding!”
“rit Points -10,000 points.”
In Xu Yang’s mind, the system notification rang, and he imdiately felt that his “Qi Sea” was rapidly expanding…
Within just a few breaths, his cultivation base had grown nearly three tis!
Although he hadn’t quite broken through to the “mid-Entering Dao Realm,” he wasn’t far from it.
Xu Yang spent another 2,000 rit points.
Finally, with a surge of energy, he stepped into the “mid-Entering Dao Realm.”
“From the early to the mid-Entering Dao Realm, it took 12,000 rit points… Even if I were to spend all my remaining rit points, I doubt I’d be able to break through to the late-Entering Dao Realm.”
He sighed.
This…
Just yesterday, he was thinking about how easy it was to earn rit points, but he didn’t expect to be short of them again today.
However, he quickly ca up with a plan and thought, “The last ti I had a sudden insight, I broke through with the rules of Thunder, drawing in the spiritual energy from within a ten-mile radius to enter the realm of Daoism. If I do that again, can I also increase my cultivation base at the sa ti?”
Xu Yang got straight to the point.
Since this was the backyard of Zongsheng Palace, it wouldn’t matter even if he caused so abnormalities.
With a thought,
The system’s attribute panel appeared.
[Na]: Xu Yang
[Age]: 22 years old
[Cultivation Art]: Divine Ascension Scripture
[Daoist Skills]: Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill, Wulei Rules (Entering Dao), Paper Cutting Skill (Entering Dao), Earth Escape Skill.
[Martial Arts]: Land Flight Skill, Soul Searching
[Cultivation Level]: Mid-Entering Dao Realm
[Daoist Artifact]: Supre Purification Seal (Daoist Artifact)
[rit Points]: 21,800 points
[Storage Space]: 10 cubic yards
He earned more than 34,000 rit points from a single “ghost-catching competition.” But before that, he had spent 3,000 points to enhance his Paper Cutting Skill, and just now, he spent another 12,000 points.
He still had nearly 22,000 rit points left, thanks to the tily help of the land deity, who had provided him with further rit points.
His gaze swept across the system panel and eventually settled on the small “ ” button next to “Fire Manipulation Skill.” Xu Yang thought, “I don’t have a deep understanding of the Fire Manipulation Skill, Water Manipulation Skill, and Earth Escape Skill. I’ll take it one at a ti, starting with Fire Manipulation Skill!”
His consciousness gently touched the small “ ” icon.
“Ding!”
“rit Points -50, Fire Manipulation Skill 1.”
“Ding!”
“rit Points -50, Fire Manipulation Skill 1.”
“Ding…”
Since Fire Manipulation Skill and Water Manipulation Skill were among the most basic “Five Elents Daoist Arts”, their cost to upgrade was relatively low. Xu Yang spent 50 rit points at a ti and upgraded them 60 tis in one go!
After consuming a total of 3,000 rit points, a faint trace of fire elental essence erged on Xu Yang’s body. He felt as if he had grasped the “Fire Manipulation Skill” in just a few monts, similar to understanding it for several years!
“Not enough!”
“Keep improving!”
Xu Yang gritted his teeth and consud another 2,000 rit points.
The next mont, his body tremored, and he… fell into an “enlightennt” state!
Humming!!!
The energy trembled.
The Daoist essence scattered.
A crimson halo even appeared on Xu Yang, just like a raging fla wrapping around him. He looked like a Super Saiyan in the process of transforming.
Inside the Zongsheng Palace, Supre Sage Shancun, who had just returned to the Dao Palace, noticed the change and appeared before the gingko tree in the blink of an eye.
He stared at Xu Yang, disbelief etched on his face as he muttered, “How… how could this be possible?”
“Middle-stage Entering Dao Realm?”
“Entering Dao with Fire thod?”
“Didn’t he just enter Dao with thunder just the day before yesterday?”
Supre Sage Shancun was almost driven mad.
Damn!
This was simply too unreasonable; an early-stage Entering Dao Realm who had just entered Dao two days ago… Could he even achieve a stable cultivation within such a short ti?
Moreover, he had just seen Xu Yang three hours ago.
He was indeed an early-stage Entering Dao Realm.
His cultivation… seed to be just barely “Entering Dao Realm,” still far from the middle-stage. How could he break through within such a short ti?
And that Fire thod-
Supre Sage Shancun could be sure that Xu Yang had a shallow grasp of the Fire thod, not even showing the Daoist essence, let alone “Entering Dao”… How did he suddenly beco enlightened?
“In any case…”
Beside him.
A sigh sounded.
It was the purple-robed elder who had gone to sleep and then reappeared in front of the gingko tree. He sighed, “Monsters cannot be judged by common sense. It seems that this kid, like Wang Hou, carries great fortune on his shoulders and may beco soone who can overco tribulations in the future.”
“Huh?”
While speaking.
The purple-robed elder was suddenly shocked and exclaid, “What’s going on? This kid just had an enlightennt, and now he suddenly woke up?”
Supre Sage Shancun glanced at Xu Yang, who had indeed slowly opened his eyes, and the mysterious aura surrounding his body gradually faded. He sighed regretfully, “What a pity… Enlightennt requires accumulating knowledge and an inspired mind… He awakened too early in the Fire thod to fully enter Dao, so it will likely be difficult for him to experience enlightennt again.”
At this mont…
Xu Yang had a confused look on his face.
What…
What’s going on?
As for “enlightennt,” he had already mastered the process, understanding it involved reaching the limit of his comprehension of the “Fire thod” and forcibly entering an “enlightennt” state during the next upgrade.
But just now, as he was about to be enlightened, a system prompt sounded in his mind…
“Ding!”
“The Tree Spirit has been frightened, rit points 1000, wisdom 1.”
It was this system prompt that jolted Xu Yang awake from the “enlightennt” state.
He turned his head and glanced at the gingko tree beside him.
This giant gingko tree had been around for more than 2,000 years, and its trunk was hollow, only relying on a few pieces of bark to transport nutrients…
It once produced a spirit.
But Grandmaster Chengming said that the spirit had died… Could it be that it had revived now?
“But why was it frightened…”
Xu Yang couldn’t figure it out but didn’t bother to dwell on it either… After all, receiving 1,000 rit points all at once was enough for him to experience “enlightennt” again, and he could also gain so “wisdom” points. How great was that?
He put away his thoughts and looked at the purple-robed elder and Supre Sage Shancun, puzzled, “Why are you two seniors here?”
The purple-robed elder replied, “We were startled by your sudden enlightennt… It was our oversight that disturbed your enlightennt… So, I promise you that whenever you want to co under the gingko tree to cultivate and enlighten yourself in the future, you can.”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang imdiately said, “Senior, there’s no need for that. To cultivate and enlighten myself under the gingko tree is already a great fortune… Besides, it’s just enlightennt. If it gets interrupted, it’s not a big deal…”
As he spoke.
With a thought.
“Ding!”
“rit points -50, Fire Manipulation Skill 1.”
“Ding…”
After spending 500 rit points and upgrading the “Fire Manipulation Skill” ten tis in a row, Xu Yang’s body shook, and the mysterious aura rose again. “Bloody hell!”
The purple-robed elder couldn’t help but curse.
Supre Sage Shancun opened his mouth but didn’t utter a word… After all, it’s not good to swear in front of the ancestor. But the expression on his face was enough to show the shock in his heart!
He…
He had another enlightennt?
Damn!
Did he just start chatting with us and suddenly beco enlightened?
Is he human?
“Ding!”
“The Tree Spirit has been frightened, rit points 1000, wisdom 1.”
At the sa ti, another system prompt sounded in Xu Yang’s mind.
He forcibly pulled himself out of the state of enlightennt and discreetly glanced at the gingko tree. Then he continued his unfinished sentence, “It’s no wonder that the gingko tree is a great place for cultivating and enlightening. I feel that while resting here, I can achieve enlightennt at any ti… Okay, two seniors, I’ll start cultivating now.”
With that said.
His breath trembled.
And he reached another enlightennt.
Grandmaster Chengming: “…”
Supre Sage Shancun: “…”
The gingko tree: “…”
