Zhang Xuan said, "For this next month, Junior Brother Yun Hong will supervise your training. If you have any questions about the Great Cang Heart Method that he can’t solve, you can come to us."
Li Mao affirmed.
"Train them well," Zhang Xuan instructed.
"Yes," Yun Hong said with a nod.
"We respectfully see you off, Teachers," Chu Lingguang and the other two said with a bow. ’So in the end, the so-called expert from Yuanchu Mountain is still just Yun Hong.’ The three of them felt a bit put off, but they couldn’t change the reality before them. All they could do was hope that the Great Cang Heart Method was truly as the two had described, capable of making their cultivation progress twice as fast.
Next, Yun Hong fulfilled his duty. He handed three copies of the Great Cang Heart Method to the trio for them to look over, instructing, "This Heart Method is under strict control by the Court. Once you learn it, you must not leak it to anyone, not even your immediate family. If you are found out, the crime is punishable by the annihilation of your entire clan."
"Yes."
The three felt that the Heart Method manuals in their hands were like hot potatoes, but they still began to read them seriously.
All three had already reached Enlightenment. With the help of his Sea of Consciousness Power, Chu Lingguang was even capable of perfect eidetic recall, and he quickly committed the Great Cang Heart Method to memory.
According to the book, the Great Cang Heart Method could locate one’s Divine Wisdom, which resided within the Sea of Consciousness. Once the Divine Wisdom was lit, it was as if a powerful Perception Power was added to the body, allowing one to more easily find responses and draw power from them.
With the help of Divine Wisdom, one could rapidly learn any mundane Cultivation and Martial Arts, achieving twice the results with half the effort.
Whether it could truly achieve this, the three of them didn’t dare to say for sure yet. But in the days that followed, all three began to cultivate this Great Cang Heart Method under Yun Hong’s guidance.
The days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.
Yun Hong was able to help them solve all the problems they encountered.
Qin Yu and Yan Zhen successively activated the Great Cang Heart Method, and they could faintly sense the location of their Divine Wisdom.
Today, Chu Lingguang also saw the Great Cang Heart Method get recorded into his panel.
Favor Points: 26295
Mixed Element Skill (0-10,000)
Mental Realm Evolution Method (100,000-100,000)
Great Cang Heart Method (130-120,000)
(Remaining Lifespan: 191 years)
What surprised Chu Lingguang was that the value for the Great Cang Heart Method was only 20,000 points higher than the Mental Realm Evolution Method. ’It seems this Heart Method isn’t held in high regard by the experts of Yuanchu Mountain. Either that, or they’re deliberately downplaying the Mental Realm Evolution Method.’
Chu Lingguang didn’t hesitate. He spent all of his twenty-six thousand-plus Favor Points on the Great Cang Heart Method.
The panel’s information changed.
Favor Points: None
Mixed Element Skill (0-10,000)
Great Cang Heart Method (26,425-120,000)
(Remaining Lifespan: 191 years)
This Heart Method had been recorded into his panel, automatically appearing with a value of 130 points, which indicated that he had already activated it. So, after this significant increase in its value, a glimmer of light finally appeared within the small ocean in Chu Lingguang’s Sea of Consciousness.
Upon Introspection, he saw a glimmer of light appear in the small ocean within his Sea of Consciousness. Although faint, the light showed the potential to evolve into a sun.
’Divine Wisdom?’
’Does such a power really exist in cultivation?’
Chu Lingguang was puzzled.
He tried to communicate with that glimmer of light, to use it to illuminate his entire being.
The scenario he had imagined—rapidly acquiring power from the forty-six unawakened responses in the third layer of his Mental Realm diagram, or immediately finding their perfect points of synergy—did not happen.
However, this glimmer of light in his Sea of Consciousness—the so-called Divine Wisdom Power—did allow Chu Lingguang to feel some subtle changes.
He could now more clearly capture the unusual fluctuations of aura from those forty-six responses. Perhaps when the Great Cang Heart Method’s value reached Perfection and the light illuminated his entire Sea of Consciousness like a sun, his cultivation speed really would increase by a thousand miles a day.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the three returned to the academy.
Zhang Xuan and Li Mao checked on the trio every three days. Today was their fifth time inspecting the three’s cultivation progress.
Their powerful Spiritual Power erupted in unison, blanketing the three of them.
The Divine Wisdom Power in Chu Lingguang’s Sea of Consciousness detected a dangerous presence. The three rings of light outside his Sea of Consciousness immediately dimmed. Chu Lingguang discovered that, under the guidance of his Divine Wisdom, his Sea of Consciousness was actively evading Zhang Xuan and Li Mao’s Spiritual Sense probe.
At that moment, Zhang Xuan and Li Mao couldn’t help but exchange a glance. They had clearly noticed a change in Chu Lingguang’s Sea of Consciousness. Half a month ago, when they had probed Chu Lingguang with their Spiritual Sense, they hadn’t been able to pinpoint the exact location of his Sea of Consciousness, but they had been able to capture a trace of its aura.
They hadn’t expected that after just half a month, they would be completely unable to sense his Sea of Consciousness at all.
However, neither of them said anything, acting as if nothing had happened. They simply told the trio a few more things to pay attention to while cultivating the Great Cang Heart Method.
And in the process, they mentioned the Sea of Consciousness.
Li Mao said, "When Divine Wisdom Power appears in your Sea of Consciousness, and you are able to utilize this power, you will have mastered the Great Cang Heart Method. From then on, your cultivation speed will advance by leaps and bounds. It’s even possible to break through the Qi Sea in just a few days and successfully step into the True Martial Realm."
"Your Mental Realms are all at the third layer. Qin Yu has awakened seventy-nine responses, Yan Zhen has awakened eighty-one, and Chu Lingguang has awakened seventy-seven. As long as any one of you can awaken just one more response, you will successfully step into the True Martial Realm."
"You have half a month left. I hope that by the time you leave, all of you will have entered the True Martial Realm."
"Thank you, Teachers," the three said gratefully.
"Teachers, I’ve successfully activated the Great Cang Heart Method, and Divine Wisdom Power has appeared in my Sea of Consciousness. I also have a new perception of my own unawakened responses, but for some reason, I can’t seem to find the key power needed to step into the True Martial Realm."
