Chapter 298: Enlightenment State, The Dawn of a Great Era (Part 2)
"Such a rich Taoist energy, this, this... what a heaven-sent opportunity!" Yu Cheng couldn't help but mutter to himself, his pale hair fluttering slightly with excitement.
All those nearby were Golden Immortal level experts of the Yu Family, and at this moment, they were equally stunned and overjoyed.
"Ancestor, what's happening?"
"Yes, Ancestor, could it be that the Tao favors our Yu Family? How could such Tao Patterns and such an opportunity appear out of nowhere?"
Yu Cheng's gaze swept around before finally resting on Lu Yi's cultivation room, his eyes shimmering with shock. With his cultivation base, he could naturally see through the Great Array arranged by Lu Yi.
He could feel an even richer Taoist energy inside the cultivation room!
Even he found it hard to believe; the Taoist energy was too concentrated, almost as if the Power of Tao was clamoring to deliver its power to this place, to that person.
Even with Yu Cheng's many years of experience, he couldn't help feeling a bit envious now.
This damn... A cultivator at the peak of the Immortal Venerable hasn't received the favor of the Tao, yet a little guy at Heavenly Immortal Level is so cherished by the Tao.
This simply defies all reason!
However, he quickly calmed his emotions, for this was a great opportunity for Lu Yi, but wasn't it also one for them?
Their opportunity was Lu Yi. Without Lu Yi, without the waves he caused in the Tao, how could they have felt such a thick Taoist energy?
This was almost impossible.
His thoughts turned as a smile appeared on his face, "Indeed, it's a great opportunity... However, this chance belongs to Yi'er. If I'm not mistaken, he probably has entered the Enlightenment State that, according to ancient legends, only Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, in extremely rare cases, have managed to enter."
"Enlightenment State?! Could it be... the state that allows one to directly comprehend the Tao, to sort out the Tao Origin?!" The Golden Immortals around him were all worldly-wise.
Even so, they all stared with disbelieving eyes.
Since the disappearance of Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, when had such a state ever appeared?
Golden Immortals of the Yu Family looked at each other.
After a moment of silence, someone spoke up, "The reappearance of the Enlightenment State in this world, could this mean that a great era is upon us? The Immortal Kings and Emperors, absent for eons, could re-emerge in this world?"
This sentiment was shared by the other cultivators as well.
Their gazes swept around before finally settling in the direction of Lu Yi's cultivation room, with an indescribable look in their eyes.
"This youngster has entered the Enlightenment State, which means his path to the Immortal King Level will be smooth, right?"
Everyone fell silent once again.
Even as Golden Immortals, considered upper-class figures across the entire universe, they were deeply shaken at this moment.
The reappearance of Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors after eons, what did that signify? They knew better than anyone.
After another moment of silence, the beautiful woman who had watched Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu spar earlier had a glint in her eye. She looked at Lu Yi's cultivation room and said with a grin, "When the little guy comes out, I really should get to know him better."
The cultivators next to her were all taken aback, with several glancing at the woman who had just spoken.
"Look, Bing Xuan, you're also getting on in years, and it's not quite appropriate. I have a descendant in my direct lineage..."
The middle-aged man had not finished speaking when he felt the icy killing intent from Yu Bingxuan.
She looked at the middle-aged man with a smile, "Oh? You think I'm old?"
The cultivators around him were clearly amused, and the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, "…Not old, not old at all, still young."
"But to speak the truth, I also have a descendant of direct lineage, with peerless grace and talent, who will definitely achieve greatness and would be well-matched with Lu Yi."
"I have one too..."
One after another, the Golden Immortal cultivators spoke up with shining eyes.
However, those without outstanding direct-lineage daughters had very gloomy expressions, scornfully looking at the talkative cultivators and sneered, "Your scheming has been heard from millions of light years away, ringing out loud and clear."
"What do you mean? Old Three, you're just jealous because we have outstanding direct-lineage daughters and you don't! You old bachelor!"
"What did you say?! Are you asking for a fight?!"
"Come, come, let me witness your 'Primordial Spirit Undying Technique'."
"Fine, today I'll let you witness it!"
As these Golden Immortal practitioners were about to argue, Yu Cheng let out a light snort from the side.
One by one, the Golden Immortal-level practitioners fell silent.
Yu Cheng glanced at the crowd and said, "Look at yourselves. Do you resemble practitioners of the Yu Family? As for Yi'er's matter, there's no need for you to worry. Ling Luo has been with Yi'er the longest; if there's anyone to be with him, it should be Ling Luo."
The expressions of some Golden Immortals with outstanding direct lineage stiffened for a moment.
Other Golden Immortals, taking delight in their misfortune, laughed.
Yu Cheng said coldly, "Such opportunities may not come often in the future. Aren't you going to seize the moment for enlightenment? Yu Xin has not come out yet; he must be comprehending the Tao. Can't you take the opportunity?"
Hearing this, the Golden Immortal practitioners' eyes brightened, and they each found a spot to start their enlightenment.
Even Yu Cheng was no exception; he took his place outside Lu Yi's courtyard, sitting cross-legged, and began his enlightenment.
The Taoist energy was most potent here, after all, it was the closest to Lu Yi, and Yu Cheng was very satisfied.
Other Golden Immortals who tried to approach were warded off by his stern gaze.
However, Yu Cheng couldn't help but smack his lips when he thought of the Great Array arranged inside Lu Yi's cultivation room earlier; the effects would surely be better without the obstruction of the array, wouldn't they?
What a pity...
Yu Cheng did not dwell on it any longer and started his enlightenment.
......
Enlightenment opportunities and instances of sudden enlightenment were indeed vastly different, even the duration was not the same.
An enlightenment opportunity lasted for a full month before it ended.
Half a month ago, Lu Yi had already deduced the True Immortal Chapter of the Tao Yin Yang Scripture, even faintly touching upon the Profound Immortal Chapter.
Regrettably, he had little understanding of the Profound Immortal Chapter of other Immortal Scriptures, and lacking the essence of Profound Immortal cultivation, his foundations were not solid enough, so he had to give up reluctantly.
However, once he had comprehended some Immortal Scriptures to the Profound Immortal Chapter in the future, deducing the Profound Immortal Chapter of the Tao Yin Yang Scripture would naturally come as easily as water flowing along its course.
Even if he was slightly lacking, such enlightenment opportunities would surely come again, after all, there were plenty of chances to listen to the teachings of the Yu Family Ancestor.
After spending half a month to deduce the True Immortal Chapter of the Tao Yin Yang Scripture, Lu Yi went on to comprehend other matters.
Such as understanding the Tao Patterns, insight into his own Laws, and enlightenment of Array Tao and Alchemy Dao.
One could say the harvest was extremely rich.
Just one opportunity for enlightenment had allowed Lu Yi to systematically organize his knowledge, gain a deeper understanding of himself, and acquire a more profound realization of the path of the Tao for the future.
With his enlightenment yielding plentiful results, Lu Yi, striking while the iron was hot, did not stop there and immediately began to comprehend Golden Immortal Skills.
The Golden Immortal Skills that Lu Yi chose were: the Power Law "World King Fist." The moment he heard this name, Lu Yi chose it because, in his previous life, he had seen a very popular anime that featured this martial art—it was mighty.
Of course, this World King Fist was not quite the same as that in the anime; it was an explosive one-time martial art, using the power of qi and blood to unleash incredibly powerful force.
In theory, a Golden Immortal-level practitioner who has cultivated it to perfection can destroy a Constant Star System with a single punch.
And perfection, for Lu Yi, was not the limit; when he cultivated it to his limit, the power would naturally be greater.
The only regret was that his cultivation base was merely at the Heavenly Immortal level, far from being as powerful as a Golden Immortal.
Of course, for him at the moment, it was more than sufficient.
Apart from the Power Law's Golden Immortal Skill, there was also the Sword Dao's Golden Immortal Skill "Nine Elements Killing Sword," and the Yin Yang Law's Golden Immortal Skill "Yin Yang Immortal Technique."
The former was a Sword Dao martial art, while the latter was a defensive Golden Immortal Skill.
Together with the Sky Tunneling Technique, Lu Yi had Golden Immortal level Immortal Techniques for attack, defense, and speed, making him a veritable all-round warrior.
