Chapter 26: Enlightenment of Heaven After a long while, Huayue finally stood up from the vines with a wronged look on her face, walked up to her master and bowed. "Master, I lost." Not only did he lose his life, he also lost his face. Her eyes turned red and she almost cried out loud on the spot. "Ahem... It's okay. Winning and losing are common. Don't worry about it." Lin Sheng also came back to his senses, put his fist to his lips, and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. Huayue covered her face and flew away as if escaping. The scene was no longer silent, but whispers could be heard in groups. Zhou Ling was still standing on the stage, bowing slightly to Lin Sheng. "Thank you, uncle." If uncle had not pointed Senior Sister Hua to compete with her, she would not have been able to test the extent of her attainments in Taoism today.
Although this competition was due to Sister Hua's underestimation of the opponent and my own surprise, no matter what the method was, I won in the end. With this competition as a lead, it should not be a problem for me to find senior brothers and sisters with higher cultivation than me to learn Taoism in the future. And what else could Lin Sheng say in response to the little girl's thanks? Originally, I wanted my disciple to teach her a lesson so that she would remember it. In the end, it was his own disciple who was taught a lesson, and it was also his own disciple who learned a lesson. He did not blame his disciple for underestimating the enemy. After all, no one who faced such a little girl who had just started to practice Qi refining would have thought that this little girl's attainments in Taoism were comparable to those of a person in the foundation-building stage. He sighed again. This girl was a capable person, and Junior Brother Long would have to discipline her. He couldn't interfere at all. So he would just have to lecture her honestly in the future. "Okay, good job, come on down." Knowing that this was what the little girl was waiting for, Lin Sheng gave her a compliment as usual and let the matter go. But in the eyes of other fellow disciples, this matter cannot be easily forgotten. It’s amazing! He entered the sect on the same day as them, and has only been practicing for ten days. His Taoism is comparable to that of foundation building. Is he still a human being? Even if Uncle Long gave her special training, she still needed to have the talent to learn it. Zhou Ling is small, not very old, and not very tall, but I didn't expect that she is actually capable! In the past, they laughed at her in groups, but now, do they have the qualifications to laugh at her? They haven't even figured out the most basic Taoism, but she can already fight with the senior sister in the foundation building stage. This is more than just a small gap, it is a huge gap! This attainment in Taoism, which was totally inconsistent with her spiritual root aptitude, amazed so many people that by the Taoism class the next day, Zhou Ling could already enjoy the moment of silence when the cool and arrogant academic master entered the classroom. As usual, for the sake of cultivation, she rushed to the lecture hall on time, but today was different. Many people had already come to the lecture hall, and they were all chatting, making it quite noisy. But since she stepped over the threshold, Zhou Ling thought she had accidentally entered some kind of barrier. The silence at that moment was more peaceful than if someone had pinched their mouths in time. Zhou Ling paused, met their gazes, and saw their evasive looks. Well, that's some progress. Although she's still isolated, it seems like no one will call her a waste or poke her in the back behind her back anymore. Zhou Ling shrugged indifferently, sat down in his seat, and waited for his uncle to give his lecture.
What I am going to talk about today is not some introductory knowledge, but some advanced understanding of the practice of Taoism. The more Zhou Ling listened to the new course, the more excited he became. He took notes out of habit, but because he had supplemented enough basic knowledge, he no longer needed to write down everything quickly. He only needed to note down the key points that his uncle had talked about, and then slowly review them after returning to consolidate the knowledge and comprehend the mysteries that he had not comprehended at the time. Perhaps it was because she was familiar enough with Taoism that she could vaguely sense the deep meaning of her master's sermon today. Especially when the master talked about whether their practice as cultivators should follow the will of heaven or go against it, Zhou Ling pondered for a moment, and his head suddenly buzzed, as if he had broken through some shackles, and his mind became clear. When a monk practices, he is both following the way of Heaven and going against it. The life span of a mortal is no more than a hundred years. It is against the will of heaven to look at cultivating immortals from a mortal's perspective. But where do these monks come from? Natural spiritual roots, even without any cultivation techniques, will absorb spiritual energy by instinct and transform it into their own use. Isn't the existence of these cultivators a way of life given by the way of heaven? It is both compliance and retrograde. When it is retrograde, we must also find the path of compliance in the adversity. What does it mean to follow the Way of Heaven? The Way of Heaven is natural, the laws are natural, and man is natural. A cultivator should also follow nature in adversity! Lin Sheng, who was walking back and forth in the aisle and explaining slowly, suddenly noticed an abnormal fluctuation in the spiritual energy behind him. He turned back suddenly! His pupils gradually dilated... what is that? With his cultivation level at the late Nascent Soul stage, although the perception was not very clear, he was almost certain that a few wisps of the power of the laws of heaven seemed to flash in the vortex of spiritual energy that appeared out of thin air! The little girl at the center of the vortex seemed to be unaware of her body. She remained cross-legged in a meditative posture, with her eyes closed and a blank expression on her face. Her whole body seemed to be covered with a mysterious veil, making it difficult to see clearly. Lin Sheng was also fortunate enough to have an epiphany once, and through that epiphany, he successfully broke through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. His cultivation has been improving smoothly until now, and he is expected to break through to the Divine Transformation stage. What I just talked about was the monks and the way of heaven. Could it be... Could it be that this little girl suddenly realized the laws of heaven just by listening to me? ? Be quiet! Don't move! Seeing the disciples around Zhou Ling panicking and trying to stand up and move away, Lin Sheng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly sent a message through his spiritual sense to everyone present. If such an important epiphany was interrupted by someone, it would mean that he, as a teacher, was incompetent! The vortex of spiritual energy centered on the little girl grew larger and larger, almost affecting the entire lecture hall. Lin Sheng quickly organized the other disciples to withdraw in an orderly manner. After everyone had withdrawn, he wanted to create a barrier to cover the lecture hall to prevent Zhou Ling from being disturbed. However, before the barrier could be created, the huge vortex of spiritual energy had already swallowed up the lecture hall. The spiritual energy that gathered like a storm was extremely exaggerated, and its density was even as dense as fog. Many big guys who had reached the stage of spiritual transformation and encountered bottlenecks all felt a hint of the gaze of heaven from Zhou Ling's sudden realization. The entire Wandao Sect has only three gods supporting the sect, Long Aotian, the sect leader, and the ancestor Chi Xiao who has been in seclusion all year round. Zhou Ling's sudden realization this time alarmed the three of them, and they immediately flew to the scene to check the situation. The vortex of spiritual energy was so huge that many of the smarter disciples had already found a good spot to sit cross-legged, hoping to rub against the light of Zhou Ling's sudden enlightenment. "Who is the one who has had an epiphany in there?" Long Aotian saw that they were in the lecture hall, and then looked around to see that his little disciple was not among these new disciples. He had a guess in his mind, but he still didn't quite believe it. "You're just pretending. Who else could it be but your precious little egg?" As Zhou Ling's preaching teacher, Lin Sheng had seen Zhou Ling's excellence so many times that he had become numb to it. But this sudden epiphany really caught him off guard. Although he was not his direct disciple, Zhou Ling was able to have an epiphany when he was preaching, so he still had no honor.
Looking at these disciples who were taking advantage of the vortex of spiritual energy, he actually felt a little itchy in his heart. With his level of cultivation, he is currently unable to comprehend the power of the Heavenly Dao Law. But now, looking at the solemn expressions of the Sect Leader and Junior Brother Long, he knows that he was not wrong before. The sudden realization of this little girl is indeed the Heavenly Dao Law. When one has reached the stage of Divine Transformation and wants to ascend, the first thing one needs to do is to comprehend the power of the laws of heaven so that one can find the path to ascension. Apart from this, other epiphanies have little appeal to them. "Go, gather the disciples who are training outside and return to the sect. Order all the disciples to practice around the Sutra Hall!" Being able to suddenly realize the laws of nature is a great opportunity for Zhou Ling, and it is also a great opportunity for them. Especially those old guys who have entered the stage of spiritual transformation but are still unable to go any further. Comprehending the Way of Heaven is their only remaining chance, and it must not be missed. This time, it was really all thanks to that little girl Zhou Ling. Ever since the great war against the demons thousands of years ago, the entire world of immortal cultivation has not been as excited as it is today. A little girl's sudden realization made even the Heavenly Dao stop and look down. How amazing is that! It is said that the vortex of spiritual energy that she suddenly realized was mixed with wisps of the power of the laws of heaven. Those who were able to practice beside her had more or less broken through a small bottleneck. Not only the Wandao Sect, but also several neighboring sects felt the unusual movement between heaven and earth at the same time because they were not too far away. By the time the bosses from those companies rushed over, the venue was already occupied and they could only line up outside. (End of this chapter)
