A sudden surge in comprehension!

Su Chen felt his mind becoming increasingly clear, and everything before him seemed increasingly different.

There's a feeling of gradually gaining insight into things, like seeing mountains as not mountains and water as not water.

In a daze, in the dark and obscure.

Su Chen unknowingly entered a state of enlightenment.

Under the bright moonlight, the mountains and fields are faintly visible...

Looking at the wildflowers, grasses, and trees on the mountain, he seemed to see the entire life cycle of these plants, from birth to withering.

Gazing at the insects and wild animals on the mountain, he seemed to see their entire lives, from infancy to old age and death.

Su Chen's understanding of the true meaning of life became increasingly profound.

A moment later, he came to his senses and stared at the control panel.

【Taoist Method: Flowers Bloom in an Instant - Incomplete (8%)】

"What a pity..."

He sighed.

He could sense that the Daoist arts were almost about to undergo a qualitative change the moment the flower bloomed, but it was always just a little short.

"However, this improvement in comprehension, allowing me to refine the 'Flower Blooms in an Instant' Dao technique so much, is already quite good!"

Su Chen's gaze fell on the control panel.

My comprehension has increased by 50 points!

"A hidden dragon lurking in the abyss?"

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought.

"The hidden dragon lies in the abyss; if I remember correctly, it means the dragon has taken shape, lying dormant in the deep waters, not yet ready to emerge?"

"So, you already possess the potential of Jackie Chan, but you're just waiting for the right opportunity, it's not the right time yet?"

"Will emerging from the abyss mark the beginning of a qualitative change?"

Su Chen vaguely sensed the terrifying nature of his current comprehension.

After briefly understanding Xiao Cheng's Five Animal Frolics, he sensed the difference.

Su Chen swayed his body and began practicing the Five Animal Frolics.

One by one, the incorrect movements were corrected, and the movements became more and more natural.

The magical power within his body was being consumed as he moved, replenishing the energy depleted during the Five Animal Frolics practice.

After a while, he stopped, having already made up his mind.

If you've never practiced the Five Animal Frolics before, it takes about three months to develop your initial comprehension and reach a basic level of proficiency.

So now, in less than a day, he can master the Five Animal Frolics to a minor level!

He even estimated that it would only take two to three days to master the Five Animal Frolics!

Even the complex breathing techniques, he felt, would only take him eight or nine days to master!

"Is this what 99 points of comprehension is? What if it were higher?"

Curiosity gleamed in Su Chen's eyes. "99 points of comprehension is like a hidden dragon in the abyss. What is 100 points of comprehension?"

It's very possible that you're just a little bit away from reaching the next level of understanding!

"It'll be soon. I just need to spend some time improving my Five Animal Frolics or breathing techniques..."

Su Chen thought expectantly.

After examining his comprehension, he focused his attention on his realm.

"A Taoist priest? 10%? A hundred years of Taoist cultivation?"

Su Chen seemed to understand something. "So, in other words, as long as I accumulate a thousand years of cultivation, I can break through?"

At the same time, he was also somewhat surprised.

"So the realm above the Daoist Child is the Daoist Master?"

"What is the realm beyond the Daoist?"

Taoists are still within the realm of humans, but if they continue to improve, they may be able to completely transcend the mortal realm!

I just don't know if I'll become an immortal by then...

Looking at his 102 years of cultivation, Su Chen felt a sense of anticipation.

With nearly nine hundred more years of cultivation, I can break through!

At that time, not only will his realm change, but his comprehension will also increase like never before!

Su Chen couldn't help but think of the demons and monsters near Guo Bei County, and smiled slightly, murmuring to himself,

"In order for my comprehension to rival, or even surpass, that of the ancient sages, I have no choice but to subject you all to some hardship..."

Thinking of this, his eyes turned to the red string on his right wrist.

As his cultivation level increased to over a hundred years and he broke through to the level of a Daoist, the corrosive effect of the red rope on him suddenly became negligible.

He could still feel his body gradually weakening and signs of his soul leaving his body.

Now, almost all of those feelings have disappeared!

Su Chen's heart stirred, and he wanted to mobilize the vast magical power within his body to remove the red string from his wrist.

However, his movements stopped a second later.

The words the ghost bride had spoken not long ago flashed through his mind.

"My husband, you cannot escape. Once you step onto my blessed land, you will belong to me."

"On the auspicious day and time three days from now, I will lead the wedding procession to welcome my husband..."

Her voice was very calm, as if stating a given fact, or as if stating that he was already hers.

It seems that his fate was sealed three days later; he was destined to become her appendage!

Just a moment ago, he was in a terrible and heavy mood, but now it was completely different.

"This is definitely an opportunity!"

"Come on, come find me..." Su Chen's eyes brightened slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

As long as he consumes this ghost bride with the Flower Blooming Moment, his magical power will increase dramatically!

He naturally wouldn't refuse such a gift of knowledge that had been offered to him.

At this moment, he actually began to look forward to midnight three days later.

As for this time, I'll accumulate some more cultivation to give this ghost bride a surprise!

Just as he was thinking, a sudden noise from his surroundings caught his attention.

Su Chen's eyes darted around as he glanced at his surroundings.

The night grew darker, and the wind rustled softly through the mountains and forests.

The surrounding vegetation lay silently toppled, and dark shadows slowly approached from the forest.

The wolf pack lurked in the shadows, their eerie green eyes flickering uncertainly in the night.

Several wild boars stood at the edge of the forest, their tusks protruding, their breathing heavy.

Snakes and rats slithered close to the ground, their scales rubbing against the withered leaves, making a soft rustling sound.

An owl perched on a withered branch, gently turning its head, its gaze chilling.

A mountain fox perched among the rocks, its tail swaying and its mouth slightly open.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of fish and damp earth.

They swarmed around him, eyeing him greedily and with longing, their mouths watering.

It's as if he's some kind of tonic that can greatly improve one's health!

However, seemingly out of some apprehension, or perhaps out of concern for the other wild beasts around them, they merely circled around without making a move.

Su Chen glanced at it and quickly guessed what was going on.

It was probably during his transformation that his body emitted a strange fragrance, which unknowingly attracted these wild beasts.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and stood up.

Seeing him get up, a wolf's eyes lit up. Thinking it had found a weakness, it charged forward first.

As soon as it moved, the other wild beasts also moved, swarming towards Su Chen.

In their eyes, this human was already their food...

However, just as they charged forward, Su Chen lowered his eyelids and released the Daoist power within his body.

boom!

An invisible shockwave, formed from a hundred years of magical cultivation, spread out, sending charging beasts flying with mournful cries.

Even those who didn't rush over were so frightened by the aura of cultivation emanating from him that their bodies stiffened, they trembled, and they lay on the ground unable to move.

Enveloped in a powerful aura, his hair and robes fluttered gently, making Su Chen appear like a god or a saint.
