My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 108: Enlightenment Again

Things like enlightenment are inherently mysterious.

Some people will gain inexplicable enlightenment after looking at the mountains, water, sunrise, sunset, moonlight, night sky... etc.

These are all relatively normal.

Some people even gain enlightenment for some ridiculous reasons, such as: winning a fight with the village dog; accidentally using boiling water when bathing a pig; discovering a wasteland in front of the cattle while walking them; using chopsticks to scoop soup while eating... and so on.

In short, it is so mysterious or inexplicable that most people themselves don’t know how they suddenly understood it.

Xu Mo couldn't figure out why he suddenly realized it, but it didn't matter. His cultivation had already broken through, so why bother worrying about these things?
Maybe just as I thought, I am actually a genius?
After learning about the blood jade token on his way to the Blood Demon Sect, he was a little worried whether this indicated that he would not be able to break through to the second level of enlightenment in the future.

Now it seems that this was indeed my illusion.

He has now reached the last step of the inner alchemy stage in the first realm of refining the Tao, and is only one step away from the second realm of enlightenment.

In more than three thousand years, even if a pig does nothing every day but eats and sleeps, its cultivation level will still have a breakthrough, right?
Therefore, my breakthrough is inevitable and there is no possibility of accidents!

This was the first time Xu Mo showed such confidence since coming into this world.

Now he felt that he could finally understand the confidence that Minghun had when he faced Lingyou.

There is no other reason, everything comes from his own confidence, just like he firmly believes that he can break through his cultivation. Minghun, who was born as a peerless genius and has never encountered any challenges, naturally has the confidence to protect his love with Lingyou.

All I can say is, it feels so good to be confident!
Xu Mo was thinking with some complacency, and when he came to his senses, he found that his senior sister Lin Miaoqing had been squatting in front of him, staring at him with her chin supported by her hands, a smug smile on her face.

After seeing Xu Mo come back to his senses, she said happily: "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on making another step forward in your cultivation. Hehe, that's great. Senior Sister is so happy."

Xu Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this. Lin Miaoqing was right beside him when he had just broken through, so it was not surprising that he could notice it.

He responded with a smile, "This is indeed a happy thing. I hope Senior Sister can also break through soon."

Lin Miaoqing nodded when he heard this, and then excitedly raised the broken knife in his hand to share his joy with him:

"Junior brother, I just felt the presence of the knife. Did you see it? Wasn't I very powerful just now?"

Xu Mo nodded and said seriously, "I saw it. The way Senior Sister swung the knife just now was really good."

"Right, right? I can actually practice sword skills too, right?" Lin Miaoqing said excitedly. After persisting for so long, she finally saw hope. She couldn't hold back her tears any longer and they instantly wet her round little face.

Seeing this, Xu Mo did not say anything to comfort her, but just watched silently. He knew that his senior sister needed to vent her emotions at this time.

Having been insisting on doing something that has no hope for more than two hundred years, one can imagine the despair in one's heart.

You should know that his alias "Xu Qing" became famous throughout Lingmiao Peak simply because he persisted for twelve years to complete the "hundred-day foundation building", and was admired by many people.

What's more, Lin Miaoqing has been practicing swordsmanship for more than two hundred years without any talent.

In fact, he and many of his fellow disciples at Lingmiao Peak admired her persistence.

But precisely because of this, they were even less able to say words of encouragement to Lin Miaoqing.

Because this kind of encouragement is cruel to Lin Miaoqing.

They hoped to use their indifference to make Lin Miaoqing give up instead of continuing to insist.

Xu Mo didn't expect that his sudden idea of ​​asking Lin Miaoqing to use the broken knife would lead to this result.

He couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for his senior sister.

The broken knife finally brought her some results after her long-term persistence. When she swung the knife, she could finally feel the shadow of half a knife.

But this gain, which was so small that it was almost negligible, was still not enough for her to continue on the path of swordsmanship.

She was still a long way from being able to perform a complete and 100% sword strike.

Lin Miaoqing didn't know what her junior fellow apprentice was thinking. She was extremely happy and satisfied right now. As long as she could sense the existence of the sword, she believed that one day she could become a master of the sword.

So she reached out and rubbed her eyes, then called out to Xu Mo, "Junior brother, I'll continue practicing."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to walk aside holding the broken knife.

Looking at Lin Miaoqing who was practicing seriously with the broken sword, Xu Mo could only watch with mixed feelings, unable to express his thoughts.

After staring at Lin Miaoqing for a while, Xu Mo was stunned and then rubbed his eyes.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he suddenly felt that his senior sister Lin Miaoqing seemed to become very perfect in his eyes.

Although her appearance has not changed at all, it feels as if she completely reflects my inner yearning for all beauty.

To put it more bluntly, she grew up exactly like the perfect image in his mind.

But he didn't know whether it was an illusion, he felt that the perfection in her was a little disharmony, as if something was missing.

It felt like when I was playing a game in my previous life, I used the face-shaping system to create a perfect goddess, but because the screen was scratched and there was a black spot on it, I couldn't show her perfectly.

It is precisely because of this inconsistency that the perfection on Lin Miaoqing looks particularly uncomfortable. This discomfort is like a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder seeing a very tiny but indelible stain on a spotless white floor.

Xu Mo widened his eyes and stared carefully at his senior sister Lin Miaoqing, wanting to see what was going on, why he suddenly felt that she was so perfect, and why her perfection had a hint of disharmony.

But before he had time to take a closer look, a mysterious feeling suddenly surged into his heart. He was particularly familiar with this feeling because he had just experienced it.

As he was thinking, his consciousness gradually emptied and he entered a state of enlightenment.

It was unknown how long it had passed before Xu Mo came out of his state of enlightenment.

He immediately focused his attention on his own condition, then widened his eyes and took a breath of cold air in disbelief.

When he looked inward, he saw that the inner elixir that had just condensed had been branded with hundreds of Dao marks at some point in time.

Because it was too unbelievable, he checked it several times before he was sure that there were indeed hundreds of Dao marks on it.

He was immediately confused. He had never heard of so many Dao marks being imprinted on a person's inner elixir.

Generally speaking, after a practitioner has imprinted a few Dao marks on the inner alchemy stage, he can begin to break through to the state of enlightenment.

At most, there were only three to five or a dozen Dao marks. Shao Mo had never heard of such a situation where hundreds of Dao marks were imprinted at once from his fellow disciples. It was also not mentioned in the records of the Tianxuan Sect about the state of enlightenment.

What he knew was that in the Enlightenment Realm and beyond, the strength of a cultivator had nothing to do with the number of Dao marks imprinted on his inner elixir.

There is no such thing as someone with more than ten marks on their body being stronger than someone with only three, five, or even just one mark on their body.

The strength of a cultivator depends solely on their understanding and application of the Dao. Furthermore, in the ancient world, there is no such thing as quality distinction for inner elixir. An inner elixir is an inner elixir, no matter what kind it is.

Perhaps some people have a deep foundation in the inner alchemy stage and perform better than others, and can even be invincible in the same realm.

But each realm after that is a brand new world. The accumulation in the early stage will at most make the journey to the next realm smoother, but it is not the key to determining strength.

In the ancient world, the only thing that can determine a person's strength is "Tao."

It is precisely because of this that Xu Mo feels confused. He doesn't know whether the hundreds of marks imprinted on his inner elixir are a good thing or a bad thing.

But now that it has happened, he can only comfort himself that it is a good thing.

But what he really couldn't understand was why he suddenly attained enlightenment?

It is really incredible to enter the state of enlightenment twice in one day.

He just felt that Senior Sister Lin Miaoqing gave people a different feeling, so he wanted to take a closer look, but he ended up gaining enlightenment inexplicably.

It seems that the reason lies with my senior sister.

Xu Mo thought silently in his heart, then stared at Lin Miaoqing with wide eyes.

He wanted to try whether he could enter the state of enlightenment again this time.

He just stared for a long time, but nothing happened.

Instead, Lin Miaoqing felt a little uncomfortable when he stared at her.

Somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, he asked, "Junior brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious why you stopped practicing, Senior Sister."

Xu Mo, who was caught in the act, quickly shook his head to deny it, and then calmly shifted the topic to Lin Miaoqing.

Lin Miaoqing frowned and replied with a worried look on his face, "Because I just saw that your state of cultivation was a little strange, and I was a little worried about you, so I stopped and stayed by your side."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Mo with concern and asked, "Junior brother, what happened to you just now? Are you okay?"

Xu Mo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that Lin Miaoqing had not been systematically taught the knowledge of cultivation.

She was able to practice because her senior brothers and sisters at Lingmiao Peak read the basic techniques to her one after another. Later, when she encountered something she didn't understand, she asked here and there.

Although she had met Taoist Master Ye after her training, given his unreliable personality, she couldn't expect him to talk about these things with the sect.

Therefore, the sect did not explicitly lift the restrictions on her after she started practicing, and she still could not enter the Sutra Library. This resulted in her not having a particularly good understanding of many common sense knowledge in the practice world.

This made Xu Mo feel a little guilty. Why didn't he think of this before? He was really too careless.

You should know that after my senior sister learned that I had become the peak master, she immediately sold her own assets and prepared gifts for me.

It seems that I need to find an opportunity to open the Sutra Library of Wuyou Peak to my senior sister and make up for her lack of common sense.

After making up his mind, he smiled at Lin Miaoqing, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. I just had enlightenment."

Lin Miaoqing looked at him in surprise when she heard that. "No wonder I felt like you had merged with the world just now. Your aura was a bit mysterious, so I didn't dare to wake you up."

After she finished speaking, she fanned her hands with some relief, "Fortunately, I didn't wake you up just now. So this is enlightenment. You are worthy of being my junior apprentice, Lin Miaoqing. It's awesome."

Lin Miaoqing smiled somewhat smugly.

"I also want to thank my senior sister for waiting by my side." Xu Mo laughed.

"Isn't this natural? You are my junior fellow apprentice." Lin Miaoqing put her hands on her hips and raised her head proudly.

After seeing that Xu Mo was fine, she picked up the broken knife again, greeted Xu Mo, and continued to practice.

Seeing this, Xu Mo shook his head helplessly. He thought his senior sister was trying too hard.

He was thinking about whether to persuade her to take a rest, when he suddenly froze.

Because he noticed that when his senior sister raised the broken knife in her hand, her temperament suddenly changed.

His gaze lingered on her for only a moment, and that familiar and mysterious feeling came over him again.

As soon as this feeling came over him, he realized that he had attained enlightenment again.

When he came out of the state of enlightenment again, he found that there were hundreds of more marks on his inner elixir.

Really senior sister?

This time, Xu Mo was extremely sure of his judgment. He believed that the reason he inexplicably entered a state of enlightenment was indeed because of his senior sister Lin Miaoqing.

But he couldn’t understand why he didn’t enter the state of enlightenment when he often stared at Lin Miaoqing like this before?

More importantly, what was going on with Senior Sister? Why did I inexplicably enter a state of enlightenment just by looking at her?

Could it be that she is the reincarnation of the Enlightenment Stone?
But how could an enlightenment stone be able to reincarnate into a human? I've never heard of such a thing.

"Junior brother, have you attained enlightenment again?" Lin Miaoqing asked curiously.

"Yes." Xu Mo responded indifferently. He really didn't know how to explain it, so he simply didn't say anything.

"Hehe, you are worthy of being my junior brother, Lin Miaoqing." Lin Miaoqing was very proud.

After saying that, he started practicing again.

Seeing this, Xu Mo was about to speak up to stop her, but it was too late. As soon as his eyes fell on Lin Miaoqing, that mysterious state surged up again, and he could no longer speak.

"Junior brother, you are so amazing. I heard that it is very difficult to enter the state of enlightenment. Many people never have a chance to achieve enlightenment in their entire life. But you can enter it anytime and anywhere, hehe." Lin Miaoqing stared at him with some envy in his tone.

Xu Mo felt helpless. There was no need to do that. Wasn't it because of you that I was like this?
He exhaled softly and said quietly, "He is your junior fellow apprentice after all."

"That's right." Lin Miaoqing looked at him with a smile and waved her little fist. "Then I will continue to practice."

"No..." Xu Mo stretched out his hand and just uttered a word, but it was too late, because that mysterious state had arrived quickly.

　Thanks to my book friend [Left Hand World] for the reward, thank you.
