Awakening to Enlightenment, Invincible Under Heaven
Omniscient Li: "I've had a little too much to drink today, so I'll leave it at that. If you come across any divine arts or secret manuals in the future, feel free to send them directly to me. There are three thousand Great Daos; the collision of the rules of different worlds is also quite useful to my cultivation. If there are enough manuals, I naturally won't be stingy with rewards."
Little Yan Lingji: "Alright, goodbye, Brother Li."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "We bid farewell to the Immortal."
Little Dragon Maiden: "We bid farewell to the Immortal."
Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "We bid farewell to the Immortal."
Li Xunhuan: "We bid farewell to the Immortal."
Li Hao happily exited the chat group. Of course, he was not actually drunk; he simply could not wait to try out the mysteries of cultivation.
"Extract Indestructible Golden Body, Artifact Control Art, Northern Underworld Heaven Swallowing."
"Group Leader privilege activated. The Enlightenment function may be used once for free each month."
The moment the vague voice sounded, Li Hao felt as though he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to sense the existence of his body any longer.
The mysteries of the three divine arts rose within his heart.
At times, Li Hao felt as though he were a kunpeng roaming the vast ocean, able to swallow the four seas whole. At other times, he felt as though he had transformed into a Roc soaring through the heavens, crossing ten thousand miles in an instant.
At still other times, he felt as though he had fallen into Nine Nether Hell, suffering inhuman torment. Every inch of his muscles and bones was torn apart, his flesh ground into insignificant dust. The pain nearly drove him mad.
Amid the endless transformations, Li Hao lost all sense of time.
When he opened his eyes again and awoke from the special state of Enlightenment, he felt that everything between heaven and earth had changed.
It was clearer.
It was as though dust had been brushed away, allowing him to see the essence of the world.
At that moment, he could clearly sense the spiritual energy permeating heaven and earth—surging, vast, and inexhaustible!
Li Hao slightly closed his eyes, feeling that with but a small thought, he could mobilize this mighty power of heaven and earth.
Besides that, he could clearly sense an immense force circulating within his body.
This was...!?
Li Hao looked at his smooth, fair hands, which shimmered with a pearly treasure-light beneath the lamp, and could not help revealing a shocked expression.
The Indestructible Golden Body had reached great mastery!
This!
With a thought from Li Hao, countless mysteries regarding the Indestructible Golden Body instantly appeared in his mind. It felt as though he had honed this divine art for a thousand years and understood every secret within it.
Enlightenment!
Could it be that what he had experienced earlier was not a simple illusion, but a special divine ability similar to time acceleration?
Li Hao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately understood the source of his transformation.
At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the immense power of the Heavens Chat Group.
A thousand years in an instant!
Li Hao took a deep breath. Feeling the surging true essence within his body, he could not help but smile.
No matter what, this was a good thing.
He just did not know what level his cultivation had reached now that Indestructible Golden Body, Northern Underworld Heaven Swallowing, and Artifact Control Art had all reached great mastery.
Perhaps he should find a chance to test it out?
As Li Hao pondered, he turned to look at the phone beside him.
July 26th!
Two days had passed!
He had actually been immersed in the state of Enlightenment for two days?
Li Hao's pupils contracted as he froze for a moment.
But he quickly snapped out of it.
He had cultivated three divine arts to great mastery in just two days. That already seemed incredibly worthwhile. Without the special boost from Enlightenment, who knew how long it would have taken him merely to get started?
Having thought it through, Li Hao no longer cared about it.
He wondered how things were going in the group.
Thinking this, Li Hao entered the chat group.
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "The Immortal is online!"
Omniscient Li: "A low-profile group leader quietly passes by at this moment."
Little Yan Lingji: "A flamboyant group leader swaggered past without restraint at this moment."
Little Yan Lingji: "Brother Li, you haven't been online for days. Indestructible Golden Body is so troublesome to cultivate. I've practiced for days and only completed the first step, Foundation Establishment."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "@Little Yan Lingji, you successfully established your foundation! Shocked.JPG"
Little Yan Lingji: "Thanks to Master's spiritual medicine, I barely managed to complete Foundation Establishment."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "There's no justice! I could accept Invincible Urchin Gu Santong losing to the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, but now even a little brat has completed the Foundation Establishment for the Indestructible Golden Body before me. Ah, I don't want to live anymore! The Great Immortal must have given you special tutoring, didn't he?!"
Li Hao watched the activity in the group with a smile, then casually threw out a mute.
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong had been muted by the group owner Omniscient Li for one minute.
Little Yan Lingji: "@Omniscient Li, what's the group mission? Why hasn't there been any response at all? No one's played with me these past few days. It's so boring."
Omniscient Li: "@Little Yan Lingji, not bad. Cultivate well. Once you master divine arts in the future, no one will ever be able to bully you again."
Little Yan Lingji: "(#/.\#), mm-hmm, I'll definitely cultivate diligently and defeat all the bad guys. Little Dragon Maiden also succeeded in Foundation Establishment. She was even earlier than me."
Li Hao was somewhat surprised.
He was not surprised that Yan Lingji had succeeded in Foundation Establishment. After all, Nine Songs of the Sky already counted as a fantasy world, and its combat level was far from low. Though it could not compare to the world of Sword of Immortals, it was still far beyond The World's Best or the world Little Dragon Maiden came from.
But Little Dragon Maiden had actually completed Foundation Establishment at the same time as Yan Lingji. That was rather novel.
Omniscient Li: "@Little Dragon Maiden, you completed Foundation Establishment too?"
Little Dragon Maiden: "Mm, I was fortunate enough to break through."
Little Dragon Maiden paused before continuing, "But it was not yesterday, as Sister Yan Lingji said. Since Immortal Elder went to rest, a month has already passed on my end."
A month!
Li Hao was rather stunned. Only two days had passed on his side, yet a whole month had passed for Little Dragon Maiden.
Could it be that the flow of time differed across the Heavens and Myriad Worlds as well?
Li Xunhuan: "We also noticed this issue over the past few days, but we have no clues for now. Our rates of time flow are not fixed forever. Sometimes, our time passes much faster than Little Dragon Maiden's; other times, it is far slower."
Li Hao frowned and fell silent.
If that was the case, things seemed even more troublesome.
All-True All-Capable Great Immortal Li: "The Heavens and Myriad Worlds are each different. It is only natural for their rates of time flow to vary. Cultivate well. If you can attain a lifespan equal to heaven and earth, differing rates of time flow will not be a problem."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Hahaha, Invincible Urchin is back!"
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Waaah, waaah, waaah, Group Owner, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken ill of you, shouldn't have said you gave Yan Lingji special tutoring, shouldn't have said there was something going on between you two—"
Li Hao's eye twitched slightly. This guy was definitely doing it on purpose.
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong had been muted by the group owner for ten minutes.
This time, Li Hao did not block Gu Santong, because he needed to test the different effects of the group owner's permissions.
Everyone was shocked. They had not expected the group owner to possess so many privileges.
At the same time, they silently warned themselves that they had to be careful around the dog admin in the future.
Little Yan Lingji: "Trembling with fear. Long live the group owner!"
Li Xunhuan: "Trembling with fear. Long live the group owner!"
Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Trembling with fear. Long live the group owner!"
Little Dragon Maiden: "Trembling with fear. Long live the group owner!"
