Lin Xiaosu had a task to complete during this seclusion.
It was the next stage of his cultivation.
Upon entering the Enlightened Realm, he had theoretically leaped two stages, passing through Body Enlightenment without pausing and advancing straight to Spirit Enlightenment, because its defining feature, the primordial spirit, had long been waiting for him.
But Spirit Enlightenment still required a period of adjustment.
That adjustment involved integrating the primordial spirit with one's cultivation.
For most people, this meant implanting primordial spirit imprints within their wheel sea, blood pagoda, and celestial star, perfectly merging their primordial spirit with their cultivation system. With a single thought, myriad powers arose, and every technique in their body answered their command.
Lin Xiaosu, of course, still had ambitions.
In merging his primordial spirit with his inner body, he was still pursuing perfection.
His primordial spirit would merge with more than just his wheel sea, celestial star, and blood pagoda. He intended to merge it with every cell in his body.
After this period of seclusion, his wheel sea, celestial star, and blood pagoda were perfectly connected. It seemed that every meridian had an invisible thread linking it to his primordial spirit, allowing him to direct his power as effortlessly as moving his own fingers.
There was every reason to believe that if he manifested the true essence Dharma Body of Body Enlightenment now, it would be incomparably solid, like his actual body.
For most people, reaching this point meant reaching the end of the Spirit Enlightenment Realm.
But his journey had only just begun.
A journey could not be completed in a single day.
Lin Xiaosu opened his eyes and saw autumn rain outside the window.
The autumn rain fell in a mist, turning the lands of Jiangnan into a true realm of waterways.
