Chapter 1140: Breakthrough after Enlightenment
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the starry space, everyone sat upon the immortal seats and listened quietly.
"Humans are also known as the spirit of everything, they are treated with love from the heaven and earth. Their perception and affinity with the constellations can be increased through cultivation. They are able to seek out constellations that are suitable for them and they are essentially, spoiled for choice. Even if they inherited the powerful bloodlines of their ancestors, they also possessed this inherent advantage as a human. They not only can focus on the path of their ancestor's inheritance, they can also forge their own path, and seek their own dao."
"Demons are different. If you want a golden-winged great roc to comprehend water-attribute energy, is it suitable? The higher grade of bloodline a demonic beast has, the more powerful their inheritance would be. Their paths, are already fixed and on the contrary, for some ordinary demonic beasts that don't have any ancestor's inheritance to depend on, they are the ones who have a chance to forge their own path and seek their dao."
"As the saying goes, you will lose something in return for something you gain. This is a simple logic. No matter who you are, you have to see your worth clearly and not underestimate yourself. Once you envy or admire the strength and talent of those greater demons with inherited memories, you will lose yourself. Those who can sit upon these seats are all extraordinary characters. Even if right now, you have to incline your heads and look up to those imposing golden-winged rocs and demonic dragons, who knows if one day in the future, your mounts would be them instead?"
That expert continued to speak. With regards to this lecture, although it was common knowledge, it was filled with sufficient weightage when spoken by the expert before their eyes. Even the golden-winged great rocs and demonic dragons didn't dare to rebut him. Also, the voice of this expert was like the morning bell, containing a unique magic that seemed to be reminding them.
"The law attribute energies are in fact, the techniques and arts of the heavens and earth. They are a kind of rule of the world. In this world where you lived in, among the boundless stars, the constellations in the nine heavenly layers all contain an incredibly profound energy. The stronger you are, the more clearly you can sense them. The countless number of constellations formed the laws of the heaven and earth, which in turn created the various attribute energies. For living things, they can comprehend, cultivate, control and eventually transform into a being of law. This entire process will go on and on until finally one day...where you can create a type of law using your own strength, making your law exist in this world."
The voice drifted into the ears of all the experts, causing their hearts to tremble. They could faintly sense that the words of this expert resembled the truth of this world. It was a higher logic of the Great Dao.
"Nobody knows what sort of natural laws were born exactly at the instant this universe was created. But even if we can reverse time and head back to that exact moment of creation, the law energies then would definitely not be as perfect as they are today where there are countless variations, leading to countless choices for you all to choose from. I believe, all this was calculated at the moment of creation. In our world, the five elements are everywhere, forming the basis of most of the natural laws. But other than these, maybe it's because of the long amount of time living beings cultivated for, these law attribute energies are unceasingly being perfected."
"Have you all thought of this before? In the boundless starry skies, there are some worlds which were formed from unique law energy structures. For example there's only spatial energy existing in some worlds. In those worlds, they are in fact inhabitable by humans or demonic beasts. But supreme experts could make use of this, comprehending the law fluctuations of that world to gain insights. Or maybe, for some worlds formed with the energy of metal, everyone in that world would only comprehend and cultivate the law of metal, eventually evolving it to perfection."
Everyone here clearly understood this point. This was like why some major powers only cultivate a certain attribute energy. It was just that this lecture was speaking of a much much broader perspective - that of the entire universe.
These words were common logic, yet no one could deny that they were the simplification of truth from the Great Dao. Without sufficient perspective, that expert wouldn't be able to lecture in this manner.
At this moment, Qin Wentian was in fact thinking of the countless number of worlds that exist within this heaven and earth. There are thirty-three layers of immortal realms, but is this the only universe? In that case, why would immortal emperors be unable to go over to the other side? And where did all the ancient emperors vanish to?
This lecture was more than sufficient to cause everyone to think about the existence of this universe, the basis of cultivation, the origin source of law attribute energies.
It seemed simple, but to the cultivation of these experts in the future, this realization would undoubtedly proved to be of great benefits.
Everyone was in a state of contemplation as they quietly listened on. The voice of the expert was extremely ethereal-sounding, bringing everyone into the world of cultivation.
After a long time, the eyes of everyone slowly closed. They felt themselves truly entering into a boundless starry space. In that special space, every constellation there contained powerful natural law attribute energies. It was just that because they themselves weren't proficient with that exact attribute energy, it was very difficult for them to absorb it. Yet even so, they could clearly sense it. Such a feeling felt extremely mystical. In fact, none of them were willing to be awakened.
In his sea of consciousness, the voice of that expert remained. The words spoken by him were like music of the Great Dao and wasn't simply nonsense.
Maybe only now did they understand this logic. A sentence from a wise one far surpassed ten years of blind cultivation.
When the sound of the voice faded, all the experts still have not awakened. The sound of the expert continued reverberating in their minds, allowing them to comprehend, to contemplate and to gain insight. In fact, the words spoken earlier were sufficient to cause the vast majority of experts present to not understand that even if they thought about it their entire lives.
They all entered in a marvelous state where they forgot time, and forgot where they were. Surrounded by music from the Great Dao, they imagined themselves to be among the boundless stars, in constant contemplation, or comprehension or even cultivation.
In fact for some cultivators, astral light unceasingly cascaded on them. They were unconsciously also cultivating and their speed of cultivation was extremely fast, as they entered into a marvelous state of enlightenment where they forgot everything.
Such a state could only be hoped for and not actively sought after. But just a single lecture of the sacred academy caused so many experts to fall into that marvelous state. In the vast immortal realms, it was unknown if there were any other experts who could cause such a thing. For those disciples from supreme powers, even the top-tier experts in their clans or sects might not have such transcendent abilities.
Qin Wentian quietly sat on his seat. From the start until now, he didn't utter a single word and was quietly listening to the lecture. At this moment, boundless light circulated around his body. His fearsome physique emitted a layer of fiendgod light, as well as runic light from the art of truth. His physique had no equal, if he continued cultivating this way, the power of his fleshly body might even exceed his immortal foundation. His body would then be a law of its own, transforming into a body of laws.
Astral light cascaded downwards. Among the countless constellations, Qin Wentian could sense the constellations he connected with calling out to him. After listening to that lecture, he felt a very strange sensation, it was as though the connection between him and the constellations he condensed, have strengthened. The law attribute energies of the constellations he was connected with, was unceasingly feeding their attribute energies into his immortal foundation directly, causing his cultivation speed to increase explosively.
Among the stars, an ethereal figure quietly stared at everyone. Only to see that at this moment, the light radiating from the body of an expert suddenly dimmed down as his immortal seat was shifted all the way to last seat of the back row. The next instant, the light from his body dissipated completely.
"Hu…" The eyes of that person abruptly opened. Drawing in a deep breath, he stared before him. It felt like the starry space ahead was all illusory while the 3,000 seats in the sacred academy and that unmoving statue was now the real world instead.
"My cultivation seems to have improved…" He sensed the energy within his immortal foundation as he mused silently. Not only so, more importantly, the state of his heart had also transformed. This time, the lecture was extremely beneficial, far more so compared to him cultivating bitterly for many years.
"My seating…" He glanced at his left and right. The immortal seat he was sitting on seemed to have been shifted all the way to the last row. Everyone else still seemed to be immersed within that sleep-like state and have yet to awaken. Upon seeing this scene, he could only sigh at what a pity this was. He only spent three months worth of time in that marvelous state before he awakened. From what he could see, the others were still deeply immersed as well. There was a high possibility that his harvest would be the lowest.
Sighing in his heart, he didn't leave but continued closing his eyes to cultivate, trying to comprehend the Great Dao that expert imparted to them all. He hoped he would be able to further increase his strength and improve on his state of heart.
Time slowly flowed by and more people awakened. They all discovered their immortal seats have shifted rows. They didn't disturb the others and also continued to cultivate quietly. Everyone could feel how sacred this place was, nobody dared to do anything disrespectful here.
A year passed. More than half of the people here were already awake but no one chose to leave.
Two years later, another half of those people still asleep, finally also awakened. Yet, just like before, nobody chose to leave
Gradually, as the immortal seats shifted, only those within the first ten rows of seats were still cultivating. Since they could comprehend this for so long, their improvements would surely be extremely large.
For those who awakened, there were many with improvements to their cultivation bases. For some, they even directly stepped into the next level.
"These people all have extraordinary comprehension, after that lecture, they can stay in that marvelous state for such a long time." The eyes of someone flashed as he spoke, staring at the geniuses on the immortal seats of the first ten rows. But right now even among the first ten rows, there were people gradually awakening as the immortal seats shifted.
Three years later, more and more people awoke. Nanfeng Yunxi, Nanfeng Shengge and the others woke up in succession. There were also experts from the Battle Saint Tribe which have awakened. Right now, only those in the first five rows of seats still remained in that sleep-like state.
Nanfeng Yunxi glanced at Qin Wentian's figure who was ahead. He was at the very last seat of the fifth row currently. Unknowingly as the immortal seats shifted about, Qin Wentian was shifted to the fifth row. Most probably, even Qin Wentian himself was unaware of this.
There were some experts from the Skymist Immortal Empire that had unsightly expressions as they stared at Qin Wentian. The talent of this fellow was definitely at the peak, his comprehension abilities and potential were outstanding as well. Right now, there was only one more expert from their Skymist Immortal Empire remaining, sitting in the fourth row. They hoped that the expert from their clan could continue to persist on, they didn't want to be surpassed by Qin Wentian.
Only to see that at this moment, the energy circulating around Qin Wentian was extremely fearsome to behold. A divine glow covered his body as a supreme and tyrannical energy gushed down from the sky. Unknowingly, he had just broken through to the next level, stepping into the fourth-level of immortal-foundation. This was the second time his cultivation advanced after he entered the sacred academy.
Nanfeng Yunxi's beautiful eyes flashed with a smile. It wasn't strange that Qin Wentian could advance in cultivation. During the period spent in that marvelous state of enlightenment, many people had advanced their cultivation levels, including herself. Qin Wentian's cultivation base was originally not that high, only at the third level. Hence, it was relatively easy in comparison for him to increase a level. These three years spent in that state far surpassed the effectiveness of over ten years in solo cultivation!
