However, although Su Han was immensely eager to see just how fast he could cultivate Great Brahma Prajna, he still did not begin cultivating immediately.

Instead, he tidied up a little.

Every half hour, he silently recited Amitabha, allowing certain people to grow accustomed to the Buddha Nature surrounding him. Then he quietly lay down on his bed.

Since Su Han had guessed that Shui Yue would most likely be suspicious of him,

he naturally could not take any risks.

Moreover, because of the Child of Destiny, Su Han vaguely sensed that someone seemed to be secretly watching him.

At the same time, by using the Form of No Sentient Beings from the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart, Su Han discovered that the spiritual energy at a certain spot not far from his room was abnormally abundant.

Therefore, although Su Han could not see anyone at all, he believed in his Word Traits.

No one knew how much time passed.

Inside the room, Su Han seemed to have fallen deeply asleep, his breathing even and steady.

Not far outside his window, atop a Tear Bamboo,

a woman dressed in white quietly watched everything inside Su Han's room.

"After returning to his room, he simply rested and slept as usual, without the slightest abnormality."

"Looks like I truly wronged him..."

"He most likely possesses some special constitution that I cannot perceive. That is why he has such strong Buddha Nature, and why he can draw in spiritual energy so quickly."

Thinking this, Shui Yue felt slightly guilty toward Su Han.

"I'll observe him for a few more days. If he still shows no abnormalities, I'll send him to another peak."

"After all, Little Bamboo Peak is not suitable for men."

Shui Yue flicked her sleeve.

The next moment, she vanished from atop the Tear Bamboo.

Inside Su Han's room.

The instant Shui Yue disappeared, Su Han, who had supposedly been asleep, slowly opened his eyes.

"Did she leave?"

Su Han sensed his surroundings once more. Only after neither the Child of Destiny nor the Form of No Sentient Beings warned him of danger did he finally let out a breath of relief.

"She really left."

The next moment, Su Han slowly sat cross-legged on his bed.

Filled with anticipation, he silently circulated Tianyin Temple's supreme cultivation technique, Great Brahma Prajna.

Almost the instant Su Han entered meditation, strands of golden spiritual radiance began swirling around him.

Like flames,

they burned.

Unlike the arduous, incredibly slow process of cultivating Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, cultivating Great Brahma Prajna felt as natural to Su Han as a fish returning to water.

There were no obstacles, no shackles whatsoever.

Su Han could clearly feel his strength rapidly rising.

That tangible feeling of growing stronger made it impossible for Su Han to stop.

He even discovered in surprise that,

compared to Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, Great Brahma Prajna placed far less importance on one's physical aptitude.

What it valued more was karmic affinity and comprehension.

And because of the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart Word Trait, Su Han could completely ignore bottlenecks involving karmic affinity and comprehension when cultivating Buddhist Sect techniques.

Even Su Han was stunned by his current cultivation speed with Great Brahma Prajna.

If Su Han's cultivation speed with Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao was one, then his speed with Great Brahma Prajna was more than a thousand times faster!

The two were simply incomparable.

Still, it was not entirely an advantage.

Su Han discovered that unlike Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, Great Brahma Prajna did not place much importance on controlling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Instead, it focused on tempering the human body itself.

The former emphasized comprehending nature and harnessing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use.

The latter emphasized comprehending oneself.

It was precisely in accordance with the Buddhist Sect principle that Mount Sumeru can contain a mustard seed, and a mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru.

Yet Buddhist teachings emphasized strengthening the foundation of one's body. Thus, one first had to learn meditation, close the body's pores, resist external disturbances, and then refine internal energy.

Daoist teachings, on the other hand, focused on transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for one's own use. Thus, the first level required opening the pores across the body, drawing spiritual energy into the body, circulating it through thirty-six heavenly cycles, and using the surrounding spiritual energy to strengthen oneself.

When cultivating the first level of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, Su Han had learned to open his pores and draw spiritual energy into his body.

But now, he had to learn to close those pores and block the surrounding spiritual energy from entering.

This directly meant that when Su Han cultivated Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao tomorrow, he would practically have to start all over again.

Only after Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao broke through to the first level of the Yuqing Realm would it begin refining the spiritual energy within the body. At that point, Great Brahma Prajna would have laid the foundation, and the two techniques could complement one another.

"No wonder Zhang Xiaofan spent a full three years reaching the first level of the Yuqing Realm in the original novel."

"If I had no other Word Traits to assist me and cultivated like this alone, I might not even reach the first level of the Yuqing Realm within three years."

"Plundering Word Traits must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

With that thought, Su Han stopped dwelling on it. He closed his eyes again and continued cultivating Great Brahma Prajna with full concentration.

He had left Shui Yue's room around the Hour of the Dog, and Su Han continued cultivating Great Brahma Prajna until close to the Hour of the Rabbit the following day.

As the morning sun broke over the eastern horizon and met the first ray of dawn,

"Break!"

Su Han suddenly gave a sharp cry, and Buddha energy surged around him.

Countless golden "flames" rose up, burning around Su Han's body as they tempered his flesh and burned away every impurity within it.

The overall strength of Su Han's body rose by an entire level.

If Puzhi, or any monk from Tianyin Temple, had witnessed this scene, they would surely have been left dumbfounded.

"Th-this... what kind of monstrous genius is he?!"

"He reached the Shengwen Realm of Great Brahma Prajna in just one night?"

It was something they would not even dare imagine.

It was like Qingyun Sect producing a disciple who reached the first level of the Yuqing Realm after cultivating for only a single night. How would Qingyun Sect react then?

The entire Qingyun Sect would likely be shaken to its core.

Even Ancestor Qingye, the greatest genius in Qingyun Sect's history, who reached the Taiqing Realm in ten years, likely had not cultivated at such a terrifying speed—or at most, he had only been this fast!

No one knew how much time passed.

The "flames" surrounding Su Han gradually faded away. Su Han, who had kept his eyes closed while regulating his breath and cultivating, opened them.

At this moment, Su Han was overjoyed.

Clenching his fist slightly, Su Han did not know whether it was merely an illusion, but he felt that he could now punch a fierce tiger to death. The sharp fangs and claws of ordinary beasts probably could no longer harm his body in the slightest.

This was the bodily tempering brought by Great Brahma Prajna.

Looking at the Demonic Buddha Body, Demonic Heart Word Trait, Su Han thought, I never expected my cultivation speed with Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao to be so slow, yet I could reach the Shengwen Realm with Great Brahma Prajna in a single night...

Is this the terror of a Black Word Trait, the highest-ranked Word Trait in this world?

When Su Han saw that neither Zhang Xiaofan nor Lu Xueqi possessed a Colorful Word Trait, he understood.

In this world, perhaps only the Zhu Xian Sword possessed Colorful Word Traits.

At most, there might also be legendary places such as the Phantom Moon Ancient Cave or the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

Even Ancestor Qingye, who had once been hailed as Qingyun Sect's greatest genius and reached the Taiqing Realm in ten years, likely possessed no more than one or two Black Word Traits.

Therefore, Black Word Traits were practically the limit that humans in this world could attain.

Of course, Su Han was an exception.

After all, his Word Traits could fuse and evolve.

Just as Su Han was rejoicing,

the system notification sounded once again.

The little author has something to do and needs to go out today. Updates will probably resume around six or seven tomorrow evening. Please forgive me, dear readers.
