Others Suffer, Those Who Follow Grow Wiser

That night, everyone in Zither Sound Valley was busy.

Apart from Lu Changzhi, who was quite at ease, no one else could fall asleep.

No one said what specific opportunity was there here, whether it was the inheritance of a master of the zither or simply a way to cultivate through the sound of the zither.

Many possibilities await exploration by all parties.

Everyone feared missing out on the opportunity and gaining nothing.

Therefore, although all parties appeared to be sitting quietly, an invisible competitive atmosphere still permeated the air.

Of course, not everyone is like that.

Some people, however, become so engrossed in the music that they are completely captivated, finding the music utterly wondrous.

Some people even try to use the musical realm to aid their spiritual cultivation.

Each has its own method of application.

As people began to experience fluctuations in their aura, and some even broke through to higher levels, many people started to shift their focus to cultivating through the sound of the zither.

Most notably, one person's aura fluctuations were not from an ordinary breakthrough, but rather gave the impression of entering a unique realm.

Those with more experience or knowledge were slightly surprised, guessing that the other person might have entered that legendary, rare and wondrous state of Sudden Enlightenment.

Unfortunately, the boy was clearly inexperienced and lacked worldly wisdom, and the array around him was not fully set up.

Therefore, at the crucial moment, someone whispered a shout, startling him and interrupting his state of mind. He was unable to return to the profound and mysterious realm he had been in, and he was immediately filled with extreme anger.

The suffering of our predecessors has taught us wisdom for future generations.

Immediately, all parties took precautions to avoid following in the footsteps of the teenager.

However, while precautions have been taken, Sudden Enlightenment seems to depend entirely on luck.

In the crowd, Qin Jiuxiao closed his eyes again.

He had experienced a sudden Sudden Enlightenment not long ago, and that experience significantly improved his strength.

Although the old problems were not completely resolved, some new minor issues have emerged.

But in terms of improving strength, it is indeed a great thing.

"Since some people here can enter a state of Sudden Enlightenment, why can't I enter Sudden Enlightenment state again?"

Taking a deep breath, Qin Jiuxiao tried to recapture the feeling he had when he first entered the state of Sudden Enlightenment.

Time passed little by little.

The night, after everyone's search, didn't seem to last very long.

On another part of the crowd.

Under the formation, Qin Han opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"How exactly can one attain that so-called Sudden Enlightenment?"

Qin Han murmured, a hint of anxiety in his voice.

As dawn approached, the night was about to end.

It's truly disheartening that I haven't yet found a way to Sudden Enlightenment.

Logically speaking, if others can do it, it shouldn't be too difficult for me.

At this moment, Hua Yunfan spoke up:

"You can't think like that. The more you care about Sudden Enlightenment, the more anxious you are, the less likely you are to encounter it. If you put in enough effort and pursue it enough, you will encounter it, Sudden Enlightenment will no longer be Sudden Enlightenment."

She observed things clearly.

Qin Han was just too hasty.

"Then what should I do?" Qin Han asked.

"Empt your mind," Hua Yunfan said.

"Simply exit?" Qin Han looked puzzled.

"It means not to overthink, not to deliberately pursue, but to guide your attention and focus on the areas you are good at and have invested enough time in. Only in this way can you maximize your chances of having Sudden Enlightenment."

Qin Han's face showed a thoughtful expression.

At that moment, a brilliant light suddenly shone outside, accompanied by the sound of Buddhist chanting.

Qin Han quickly looked over.

Suddenly, a dense Buddhist light emanated from Wujie, one of the Buddhist Order disciples.

The Buddha's light flowed on its own, transforming into numerous illusory Buddha images around him. Each Buddha image exuded a majestic and awe-inspiring presence, radiating a power that shook the soul and compelled people to bow down in worship.

Above Wujie, lotus platforms emerged from the void, while Buddhist chants, seemingly from nowhere, grew increasingly clear in the surrounding void.

"Is this... a state of Sudden Enlightenment?"

Many people looked on with envy as they gazed at Wu Jie, who Wujie, letting the scene unfold on its own.

He was already a top prodigy in Buddhist Order, and now he has even achieved a sudden Sudden Enlightenment. How can one not feel envious?

"As expected of Sudden Enlightenment, the change in his aura is too obvious." Someone carefully sensed it, his expression one of shock.

Some people looked towards where Dai Tianfeng was, their eyes filled with curiosity:

"At this crucial moment, I wonder if Dai Tianfeng will intervene."

After all, there was a precedent to learn from not long ago.

At this moment, Dai Tianfeng also looked towards Wujie.

However, it did nothing, simply observing Jingjing.

At this moment, he could indeed choose to intervene and stop Wujie, but he did not intend to do so.

He believed in his abilities.

Even if Wu Wujie some sudden Sudden Enlightenment, he could defeat him.

"Even those Wujie in Buddhist Order have entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment." Qin Han took a deep breath, suddenly feeling some pressure.

"But it's alright." Qin Han's gaze fell on Wujie's head:

"Buddhist Order monks abstain from women, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Since they are not my competitors, their impact on me is limited.

"However, we still need to hurry."

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Han stopped watching and tried to isolate himself from the outside world, searching for the feeling that Hua Yunfan had described.

Outside, Wujie's commotion continued for quite some time.

The impact was considerable; the vast majority of people were awakened and turned their attention to it.

Qin Jiuxiao, however, was not among them.

At this moment, he was completely immersed in his inner world.

All the events of the past flashed through my mind like a fleeting glimpse.

Some things are scary to think about, and even scarier to think about them all together.

Although a long time has passed, an uncontrollable anger and hatred still linger in my mind.

"No, this won't help with Sudden Enlightenment." A rational thought, tempered by anger, gave Qin Jiuxiao a sudden realization.

But this time, reason didn't last long.

"What if we don't help!"

To hell with reason.

No, I don't want it!

Who says anger and thought are mutually exclusive?

In a fit of anger, his mind opened up, and all sorts of thoughts that were usually suppressed came flooding back to him.

Time has passed, I don't know how much time has gone by.

Suddenly, a sense of enlightenment welled up in my heart, as if I had been struck by a sudden awakening.

Why would even Luo Zhen, someone from the Eastern Region, dare to challenge me?

Why would Liu Qingyan dare to betray me?

Why does the Holy Land seem to be paying less and less attention to itself?

It's because I haven't established my authority and haven't instilled fear in them!

How do you establish authority and instill fear in them?

Kill!

Kill them until they are terrified, kill them until they are filled with fear!

If he hadn't treated Liu Qingyan so well in the past, how could she have dared to betray him?

A single thought brings clarity, and sudden enlightenment.

Qin Jiuxiao slowly opened his eyes, feeling that the world seemed different now.

A powerful impulse is rising within my chest.

At this moment, he needs some killing.

Of course, it's not about randomly choosing someone, but specifically targeting those who cause you stress.

Liu Qingyan!

Not only did he betray me, but he also had sex with two other people behind my back, one of whom was even that damned Luo Zhen.

Compared to Luo Zhen, they were all quite pleasant to be around.

As long as Liu Qingyan lives, the oppression in his heart will remain.

Looking at the brightening sky, Qin Jiuxiao slowly got up.

He couldn't just sit there any longer; he had to go find someone.

Liu Qingyan, Luo Zhen, and that kid who saved Liu Qingyan last time—if he finds any of them, he will show no mercy!

In an instant, Qin Jiuxiao set off.

On the other side, after a long period of trying to clear his mind, Qin Han's mind was no longer as impatient and anxious as before. He immersed himself in the world of music.

Within his body, the Sword Intent generated waves of energy as the Qin realm continued to unfold. Qin Han did not deliberately control these waves, and even seemed to ignore them.

With the ring on her finger, Hua Yunfan watched Qin Han's condition closely and exclaimed in surprise:

"Could this lad truly achieve Sudden Enlightenment at Zither Sound Valley?"

Amidst the surprise, there was also a touch of envy and anticipation.
