Chapter: 6144
"Reverend Jing Qing's expression turned serious and agitated as he paced back and forth, muttering to himself, 'Ah, Master is indeed a prodigy! He can find the realm of consciousness on his own! Without the guidance of a wise teacher, I fear I would never have found my way into this realm...’"
"As for Reverend Jing Qing, even An Chengqi, who was monitoring them from behind the scenes, was shocked."
"She had heard that Ito's martial arts skills were progressing extremely fast and thought she should be Leaf Chen's most likely candidate to achieve enlightenment, which is why she sought out Reverend Jing Qing to guide her."
"But no one could have expected that Ito had already reached half-way enlightenment on her own!"
"Her heart began racing as she stared fixedly at the monitor, not blinking an eyelid."
"In the Buddha Hall, Ito couldn't understand why Reverend Jing Qing was so surprised by her ability to reach the realm of consciousness."
"It's not difficult for herself to do so, although there is a large component of accidental success. Afterward, she mastered the method to enter that realm of consciousness. This method allows her to make rapid progress in martial arts, but aside from this, Ichijo doesn't know what else it can be used for."
"This time, Jing Qing master was barely able to regain his composure after being shocked, so he quickly asked Ichijo: 'Master, did you think about entering that realm after reaching the realm of consciousness?'"
"Ichijo nodded and said sincerely: 'It's hard to enter directly, so I let my consciousness continue to rise, then put everything down and allow my spiritual awareness to sink into that realm of consciousness...'".
"'Rise...' Jing Qing master murmured a sentence, his brain already numb, almost unable to stand still. He only managed to steady himself by grasping the bookshelf."
"He looked at Ichijo and muttered: 'A talent given by heaven... Indeed, it's a talent given by heaven... Countless talented predecessors have all been led onto the path by their teachers, but Master Ichijo has somehow reached the threshold of the path without a teacher.'"
"As he said this, he told Ichijo: 'Master, finding the Purple Palace, finding the realm of consciousness, and rising to the high place are all correct. The path of enlightenment is complete, with only one step left to take... If Master takes that one step correctly, she will be able to achieve enlightenment immediately!'"
"'Enlightenment?' Ichijo asked inquiringly: 'What does it mean to be enlightened?'"
"Jing Qing master said: 'To be enlightened means to open the Purple Palace and realm of consciousness, grasp spiritual energy, and step into the celestial path. The worst-case scenario would be like a beggar, with spiritual energy not manifesting, but if one cultivates diligently, they can eventually reach the state of no-mind and observe the universe... A better case would be to manifest spiritual energy and integrate it with the whole body, allowing for reverse cultivation and becoming a true master.'"
"'Spiritual energy, master...' Ichijo's heart was filled with shock and contemplation: 'Could it be that the spiritual energy and mastery that Jing Qing master is talking about is the same as Leafmaster Chen's great divine power?'"
"As she thought this, Ichijo's heartbeat accelerated."
"She grew up to this age, with her mind almost always very calm, and there was hardly any pursuit in life. The only two things she had been pursuing since childhood were martial arts and Leafmaster Chen. After that time when she was seriously injured while traveling and returned home, she had already given up on pursuing martial arts. So later on, it was because she felt that studying martial arts would allow her to get closer to Leafmaster Chen."
"Just this moment, she suddenly felt like she might have the chance to get even closer to Leafmaster Chen, maybe even more so!"
As soon as Ichijo thought about the possibility of becoming one with Leafmaster Chen, her heart was filled with excitement. She looked at Jing Qing Master and respectfully asked, "Master, would you please enlighten me on how to truly achieve enlightenment?"
When she said this, Ichijo's mind was still uncertain.
She felt that in today's society, it was normal to keep one's thoughts to oneself, even for ordinary martial arts. No martial arts school or family could reveal their inner secrets to others, let alone for more advanced cultivation.
However, she still wanted to try because she thought that since Jing Qing Master had told her so much, perhaps he would be willing to say a bit more, allowing her to suddenly understand.
Jing Qing Master took a deep breath and sighed: "The mistress has the potential of heaven, and I cannot just sit idly by as she wastes her innate talent. In fact, the mistress has already found the key to achieving enlightenment, but the only mistake she made was trying to leap into the spiritual realm and let her divine energy enter the realm of consciousness through a method that is not effective."
Master Jing Qing hurriedly asked: "How can one enter the realm of consciousness then?"
Master Jing Qing spoke word by word: "Allow your godly awareness to merge!" JrNovels.com
