Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 345 - 204. Understanding ascends to a higher level, the level of serene insight!_3
Lei Jun touched his forehead, speechless. Even such a supplementary explanation could let slip some information...
He supposed that those of the Sun, Moon, Wood, Water, and Earth Luminaries had also each received two "private messages," one after another.
He just wondered if anyone had contacted Shen Qubing first... Wait a moment.
If Riyao really is Empress Zhang Wantong, does she know that Fire Yao is the rising star in her own army? Lei Jun pondered.
He shook his head slightly and proceeded toward the forest in the mountains.
There, numerous Spirit Talismans danced like a splendid Star River. They seemed dazzling, but their Spiritual Energy was deeply contained within, with little leaking out. Thus, they remained hidden and did not attract attention. The starlight itself was concealed by the forest leaves and could only be seen if one drew near.
Surrounded by the Star River, a Three-tiered Dharma Altar, also composed of starlight, shone brightly.
Yuan Mobai sat cross-legged at the top of the Altar. Seeing Lei Jun enter, he gave a slight smile. "I thought I might have inadvertently led you, Chongyun, into danger this time," he said. "But now it appears you are not only unscathed but have also restored the Celestial Master Seal to its former glory."
Lei Jun bowed respectfully. "Much of it is thanks to Master’s guidance. During my visit to the Southern Wilderness, I fortuitously managed to restore the light of the Celestial Master Seal. However, the precious seal is currently still fused with my Spiritual Soul and cannot be separated."
Yuan Mobai’s smile remained. "No matter. As long as fate allows, we shall just go with the flow."
Lei Jun said, "Although the Celestial Master Robe is yet to be found, with the Celestial Master Seal restored, Our Sect’s Three Realm True Scriptures Talisman has finally returned to its lineage."
Yuan Mobai’s smile faded slightly, his eyes reflecting a touch of sentimentality. "The world is ever-changing..."
"Master..." Lei Jun looked up at Yuan Mobai. He sensed that his master seemed a bit different from before. "You’re not suffering from any serious ailment, are you?"
Yuan Mobai shook his head. "I am fine. It’s just that my heart is somewhat unsettled. If anything, my current condition is rather good. This journey, despite its many twists and turns, has been highly beneficial for me."
He pondered for a moment and then continued, "There’s still a clue related to the Celestial Master Robe in the Southern Wilderness that needs to be verified. If everything is concluded smoothly, upon returning to the mountain, I plan to enter seclusion for a while."
Lei Jun understood his master meant to prepare for advancing to the Eightfold Heaven Realm. "Is it because of the Jiuli secret domain?" he asked.
Yuan Mobai replied, "This time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Lei Jun asked, "Master, are you choosing between the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talismans and the Fire Dharma Earth Script Talisman this time?"
One of the great benefits of the Celestial Master Seal regaining its light was precisely this.
"Let’s not rush into either of those," Yuan Mobai said, his smile returning. "I have gained something else."
Lei Jun remained silent upon hearing this. But his gaze towards his master began to change, as if he were no longer seeing a human...
"Insolent Disciple." Yuan Mobai was not offended, merely rebuking him verbally.
Lei Jun replied, "Disciple is just happy for Master."
After a few moments of light-hearted conversation, Lei Jun took out two matching Precious Jades that emitted a faint, eerie blue glow. "It hasn’t been very peaceful until now," he said. "But finally, we can take a breather. May I trouble you, Master, to protect me during my cultivation?"
"Good. Our Sect is about to gain another prodigy whose name will be recorded in history for Serene Insight Comprehension!" Yuan Mobai’s smile broadened.
Having found Yuan Mobai and with no other pressing matters, Lei Jun adjusted his state. He then took the pair of Wilderness Enlightening Jade and headed toward the True One Altar Cave Heaven.
He went straight for the second tier of the Altar.
When he first obtained the Wilderness Enlightening Jade, he sensed this treasure could help his Comprehension reach a higher level. However, it required the aid of the True One Altar’s second tier. Lei Jun had been looking forward to this day.
Comprehension of the Serene Insight level.
Tracing back through the nearly ten-thousand-year foundation of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion, such inheritors were extremely few. Yet, every one of them left prominent marks on the history of the Sect.
Many of the improvements and even the creation of the Sect’s various Taoist Laws and Talisman Scriptures largely originated from their hands.
In the current Celestial Master Mansion, aside from Xu Yuanzhen whose affairs were shrouded in mystery, only one person was known to the outside world to possess Comprehension of the Serene Insight level.
The Current Celestial Master, Tang Xiaotang.
No one else.
Going further back, one had to look to the Master of Yuan Mobai and the others, the second Celestial Master Li.
For the Celestial Master Mansion, to have another genius with Comprehension of the Serene Insight level join their ranks every few hundred years was already considered quite fortunate.
Now, Elder Lei was determined to add another one for the Sect.
It was a matter of compensating for Innate deficiencies with Acquired efforts, so to speak.
Under the starlight, he sat cross-legged.
The pair of Wilderness Enlightening Jades split apart, transforming into two streams of light that revolved around Lei Jun.
The next moment, the two Precious Jades, twinkling with a faint, chilly blue light, shattered. They then intertwined into a radiance of purple, gold, and azure, forming a shape that resembled both a three-tiered world and a three-layered pagoda, enveloping Lei Jun.
Lei Jun felt a gentle breeze blowing toward him.
His Spiritual Soul flew out of his body, hovering above his physical form. It carried a clear, awakening breeze that seemed to originate from ancient wilderness, a breath that had journeyed along the river of time, marking the dawn of civilization from ignorance.
At this moment, the entire True One Altar began to tremble. Its long history and profound heritage allowed that enlightening and awakening breeze to solidify, transforming from ethereal to real. It finally settled upon Lei Jun’s Spiritual Soul, rather than dissipating like fleeting clouds.
Lei Jun felt that his spiritual consciousness was not being cleansed; rather, it was undergoing a metamorphosis, transforming from within.
During this process, many previously puzzling problems found new solutions. Original lines of thought gained new inspiration, and initial ideas took new directions.
For instance, the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Talisman he had long pondered over.
For instance, the Dual Polarity Yuan Magnetism Spell he constantly sought to deepen and improve.
For instance, his existing Heavenly General, Wind and Thunder, and Yin Five Thunder Righteous Dharma talismans—all three held the potential for further deepening and improvement.
For instance, he could save even more time and quicken his progress toward accumulating the foundation for the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
And so on, the insights were too numerous to list.
All sorts of inspirations and thoughts flowed, sharper than ever before.
When his Spiritual Soul descended and returned to his physical body, that enlightening and awakening breeze, originating from his Spiritual Soul, also suffused and cleansed his entire being.
At this moment, Lei Jun felt countless inspirations regarding Taoist Laws blossoming in his mind. His thoughts were as clear as a mirror, reflecting everything perfectly, without a single detail missed.
Comprehension. For ordinary individuals, it was graded up to the fifth rank. Beyond that, there were even higher levels reserved for geniuses.
First was the Extraordinary. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Then came Clear Insight.
And above Clear Insight, there was Serene Insight.
Today, Lei Jun had successfully elevated his own Comprehension to the Serene Insight level.
