The Sword Comes

A state of enlightenment was something any cultivator might encounter but could never seek.

It was related to both comprehension and temperament. Those with high comprehension and pure hearts found it easier to enter such a state.

Wang Daoyuan's comprehension was naturally exceptional, but he thought too much.

After cultivating for more than two hundred years, this was his first time entering a state of enlightenment. In that regard, he was inferior even to many cultivators of mediocre aptitude.

The reason enlightenment was called Unity of Heaven and Man was that one could sometimes gain unexpected rewards within it.

For instance, the legendary "divine instruction in dreams" meant entering a state of enlightenment while dreaming and comprehending something extraordinary.

When True Man of Five Elements created the Five Spirits Immortal Transformation Art, he had devoted himself to solving the problem of Five-element Spiritual Root cultivators cultivating too slowly.

He had wanted to create artificial spiritual roots to accelerate cultivation.

At the time, True Man of Five Elements had only been at the Purple Mansion realm, so it had been impossible for him to create them.

He had racked his brains for years, yet gained nothing.

By a fortunate coincidence, he entered a state of enlightenment and comprehended a method to purify spiritual power.

Afterward, he continuously refined it on that foundation.

In the end, it became the Spiritual Power Seed.

The Spiritual Power Seed could not, like a spiritual root, condense true essence and directly raise one's cultivation.

Yet it could accelerate the refinement of spiritual energy and make spiritual power purer.

Wang Daoyuan had seen quite a few cultivation arts. He possessed the complete inheritance of the Netherworld Sect, part of the Crimson Sun Palace's inheritance, True Lord Hundred Spirits' inheritance, and the cultivation arts of Myriad Beast Valley.
