Enlightenment Immortal Heart Awakens! Terrifying Comprehension!

It had to be said.

These words really did sound like he was trying to fool a child.

But heaven bore witness, Wang Mu had not uttered even a bit of falsehood this time.

So he was not guilty in the slightest. "How could that be? It really is good stuff. Drink it, and your Enlightenment Immortal Heart may awaken!"

Few children liked drinking tea.

Little Nannan was naturally no exception.

But when she heard Wang Mu say that drinking this might awaken some Enlightenment Immortal Heart, allowing her to cultivate and become very strong...

Little Nannan did not hesitate. Frowning, she drank down the tea. "So bitter—"

Of course it was bitter.

Enlightenment Tea Leaves were far more potent than ordinary tea leaves.

Wang Mu had just put in more than a dozen leaves, roughly one-third of a tael.

And he had brewed them in only a tiny teacup.

It would have been strange if it were not bitter!

"It's a little bitter at first, but there'll be a sweet aftertaste later. You'll get used to it. Come, drink some more!"

Wang Mu refilled Little Nannan's cup and urged her to drink it immediately.

After five or six cups in a row, Wang Mu even had her chew and swallow the tea leaves themselves.

Then he took out fresh leaves and continued brewing tea.

"Use... use fewer leaves, it's too bitter~" Little Nannan said with a miserable face, her brows tightly furrowed the entire time.

Watching this scene.

Li Yuanhua's heart was bleeding.

What an ignorant little girl!

She was in the midst of fortune yet did not know her fortune!

That was Enlightenment Tea!

This Old Man had lived for over a thousand years. He had only ever Heard of it, never even caught a whiff of its scent!

Yet here she was, drinking cup after cup without stopping.

And she actually complained that the tea was bitter?

That was going too far!

Besides, was the Young Master's brewing method not a little too wasteful?

And furthermore, why was a little girl who had not even reached the Qi Refining Realm drinking Enlightenment Tea?

Did she even have a Dao to comprehend?

What a waste, truly a waste!

After she had drunk who knew how many cups of tea.

Finally.

"I... I need to pee!" Little Nannan looked at Wang Mu embarrassedly.

"...Take her!" The corner of Wang Mu's mouth twitched.

After a while.

Zixia came running back with Little Nannan in her arms.

"Young Master, Little Nannan... she fell asleep!"

Wang Mu said, "...Let her sleep first. Once she wakes up, continue!"

"Yes!"

The energy Containing the Enlightenment Tea Leaves was simply too abundant.

Little Nannan's constitution was still weak.

She was too weak to handle such rich nourishment.

This sleep lasted an entire day and night.

Fortunately, once she woke up, she was brimming with energy, and even the light in her eyes had brightened considerably.

Wang Mu continued pouring Enlightenment Tea into her.

As a string of system notifications rang out.

Wang Mu's mind boomed.

He only felt as though clouds had parted and mist had scattered, while the entire world became More and More clear in his eyes.

His thoughts accelerated, and his entire sea of consciousness became crystal clear.

He closed his eyes and pondered slightly.

The incomplete version of the Eight Extremes Crushing Heaven Fist he had obtained from Lin Yan unexpectedly seemed to come alive, automatically beginning to supplement and perfect its later contents.

It was as though tens of thousands of tiny figures were in his mind, helping him deduce and refine it.

In merely an instant.

The Eight Extremes Crushing Heaven Fist, which had originally only been 30% complete, had been deduced to 50%.

"So this is the Enlightenment Immortal Heart? My brain is comparable to a super quantum computer!"

In truth, the Previous Body's aptitude had not been poor.

After all, he was the offspring born from the union of two Earth Immortals. Whether in bloodline or talent, he had been at the very pinnacle; he simply could not cultivate because of the curse.

But compared to his current self.

The Previous Body's aptitude was no different from a block of elm wood!

The gap was truly enormous.

Only someone who had experienced it could understand.

With this level of comprehension, Wang Mu felt that even deducing a cultivation technique on the level of the Solar Emperor Scripture was possible.

However, to achieve that, he would still need to supplement his foundations with vast amounts of cultivation-related knowledge.

He could not create it out of thin air.

Of course, Wang Mu was only thinking about it. He would not possibly spend so much time on such a matter.

After all, he did not need to cultivate himself. Cultivation techniques and the like were not important.

Besides, matters such as building up cultivation knowledge could simply be left to a little girl with lofty ambitions like Little Nannan.

If she understood it, that was the same as Wang Mu understanding it!

At the same time, Little Nannan fell asleep once more.

When she awoke.

She too would experience the tremendous changes brought to her by the Enlightenment Immortal Heart.

The awakening of the Enlightenment Immortal Heart was unlike certain powerful saintly bodies and divine bodies, which could trigger tremendous heavenly phenomena.

Instead, it was extraordinarily low-key and restrained.

Other than Wang Mu, even Li Yuanhua of the Spirit Severing Stage failed to notice Nannan's change.

At most, he felt that the little girl's gaze seemed to have become even clearer and livelier.

But that was easy enough to explain.

After all, with so many Enlightenment Tea Leaves poured into her, even a pig could speak human words On the Spot.

"Young Master, today's Ascension Convention has begun!" Li Yuanhua respectfully reminded him.

"Mhm, let's go take a look!"

Wang Mu stepped forward and left the room.

The Ascension Convention had already reached its seventh day.

After the publicity of the past few days.

Wang Mu's image in the hearts of Heavenly Severing Island's people had improved enormously.

At the very least, throughout Daliang Royal City and the surrounding cities, everyone unanimously believed that Young Master Wang Mu was the finest person under heaven!

Those coming to test their Spiritual Roots came in an endless stream.

There had only been three thousand people on the first day.

But in the past two days, the number had exceeded one hundred thousand each day!

Because there were too many people.

Li Yuanhua had specially arranged seven or eight venues to disperse the crowds, encircling the royal palace.

With a larger base, the odds of geniuses appearing were also higher.

On the fourth day, they discovered a gifted young woman with a high-grade Thunder Spiritual Root, causing an enormous sensation.

She was an Immortal Seed with the potential to become a Golden Core True Lord.

Moreover, she possessed the exceedingly rare Thunder Spiritual Root, the most adept at slaughter and battle.

The major sects fought over her until they were practically beating one another's brains out.

In the end, she was accepted by the Sun-Veiling Sect, one of Heavenly Severing Island's three great sects.

Wang Mu arrived at the High Platform in the center of the royal palace.

Li Yuanhua respectfully took out a specially made reclining chair and placed it behind Wang Mu.

Wang Mu slowly reclined, finding that the spot was excellent. Even while lying on his side, he could clearly overlook every testing site.

"There didn't seem to be this High Platform before?" Wang Mu asked.

"Ah, yes. The Old Ancestor saw that you enjoyed silently observing the testing grounds from high places, so he specifically instructed us to build such a place!"

King of Liang Li Changhe answered respectfully.

Wang Mu glanced at Li Yuanhua and said with satisfaction, "You've been thoughtful!"

Li Yuanhua instantly raised his head and puffed out his chest, his silver hair flying. "It is this Old Servant's honor to ease the Young Master's burdens!"

Wang Mu pulled a small packet from his robes and tossed it over.

Li Yuanhua caught it carefully. The moment it landed in his hand, his nose caught a familiar, delicate fragrance.

At once, his entire body began trembling. "Th-this is Enlightenment Tea? F-for this Old Servant?"

Wang Mu waved a hand. "Take it. You should have use for it!"

Li Yuanhua instantly dropped to his knees, tears filling his eyes. "This Old Servant kowtows in thanks for the Young Master's heavenly grace!"
