"Hiss-"
When the Civet Beast realized that the cliff rock it had grabbed was actually a human, confusion first flashed through its bright eyes. The next moment, it jolted awake, its fur standing on end as it let out a strange cry.
But the cry soon stopped as a rough, large hand descended and gently stroked its fur.
The Civet Beast felt an indescribable warmth envelop it. Its fear and wariness inexplicably faded, and it instead narrowed its eyes in comfort.
Lin Sheng's eyes were clear as spring water. He gently stroked the Civet Beast on his lap, his whole body radiating a tranquil air that put others at ease.

He set the Civet Beast down, instantly withdrawing his aura until he seemed like an ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever.
The Civet Beast raised its head and looked at the human before it, its eyes full of suspicion, but soon shot off into the woods to one side.
"So this is Enlightenment..."
Lin Sheng spread his hands, sensing the changes within his mind.

Whatever happened in the outside world would find it difficult to affect him.
In this state, he could completely ignore over ninety percent of mental attacks.
The feeling was quite wondrous, as though his mind had gone from being naked and unprotected to wearing armor with considerable defensive strength.
Of course, that was not all.
The greatest change was that Lin Sheng could clearly feel his mind had become more refined than before.
Problems that had once seemed tedious and complicated now seemed quite clear and simple.
"Is this... an increase in comprehension?!"
Lin Sheng murmured, a smile appearing on his face.
He had the feeling that his comprehension had improved tremendously
