Mythical Cultivation

Wu Ming only felt that the true energy in his body was constantly churning. Pan Ning's words today made Wu Ming suddenly realize. Wu Ming, who was moved, immediately sat down cross-legged. He no longer cared about etiquette. Now he just wanted to calm down the churning true energy in his body.

Seeing Wu Ming like this, Pan Ning marveled at his extraordinary talent, realizing his sudden enlightenment just from hearing his words. He instructed the servants in the mansion not to disturb them, and he stood by to protect Wu Ming, advising him to practice without neglect. Pan Ning could sense the vital energy of heaven and earth converging in the mansion. Though it wasn't very noticeable, Pan Ning's spiritual awareness was still perceptible, and he knew Wu Ming's cultivation must be advancing.

Half an hour later, Wu Ming woke up from his practice and checked his physical cultivation. He found that he had actually advanced directly from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level. It was not the frivolous state of just entering the seventh level of Qi Refining, but rather the state that had been consolidated for a period of time.

Moreover, his spiritual awareness had reached a distance of over 100 meters. Since opening the Eastern King Palace a few years ago, he had not experienced any spiritual awareness enhancement for a long time. After all, the improvement of spiritual awareness at that time was brought about by external forces. Before he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, his spiritual awareness would not increase unless he consumed some natural treasures.

Unexpectedly, today he had experienced an improvement. He extended his spiritual awareness and discovered that it was actually over a hundred meters long. He could also feel that the strength of his spiritual awareness had changed significantly compared to before, becoming much more resilient. Retracting his spiritual awareness into his sea of ​​consciousness, Wu Ming discovered that the remaining spiritual awareness had actually decreased significantly. He figured that he must have absorbed some of it unknowingly during his cultivation.

But now is not the time to delve into these things. When Wu Ming came to his senses, he saw Pan Ning standing next to him. Wu Ming knew that Pan Ning saw him practicing and was helping him protect the law.

"Thank you, Brother Pan, for clearing up my doubts today. Listening to your words, I felt like I had been enlightened. When I achieve something in the future, I will definitely not forget your advice." After saying that, Wu Ming bowed sincerely to Brother Pan.

Seeing Wu Ming's salute, Pan Ning also dodged. He had never anticipated how his casual words would trigger so many associations in Wu Ming. Therefore, he refused to accept Wu Ming's salute, even trying to dodge. However, Wu Ming was extremely determined to salute him and express his gratitude. After several attempts at refusing, Pan Ning finally gave in to his sincerity and reluctantly accepted the gesture.

"Junior brother, you are too kind. As a senior brother, isn't it normal for me to give you some advice? You don't have to be so polite. But you should be more careful in the future. It's best not to practice in front of others. If others harbor evil intentions, you will be in danger."

What Pan Ning didn't know was that it was precisely those words he had just casually spoken that had, like a revelation, awakened Wu Ming, giving him a sudden realization and insight into the myriad causes and conditions of his past and present lives. More importantly, through this epiphany, Wu Ming finally and thoroughly grasped the true meaning of spiritual practice.

"Brother Pan, I know you are trustworthy, that's why I'm here to cultivate. If it were anyone else, I certainly wouldn't trust you this much. You saved my life, so if you had any ill intentions towards me, you wouldn't have waited until now."

"Since Junior Brother Wu trusts me so much, how could I let him down?" After hearing Wu Ming's heartfelt words, Pan Ning smiled and said to Wu Ming.

"Senior Brother Pan, was what I just experienced the legendary enlightenment? I still have many questions, please enlighten me." Wu Ming also raised the doubts in his heart to Pan Ning.

"Junior Brother Wu is right. What you just experienced was an epiphany. Junior Brother is truly a gifted individual. Among those I've met, your aptitude may be only average, and your cultivation speed may not be exceptional. However, your comprehension is definitely among the best. At least in the past few decades of your cultivation, I've only heard of two disciples who achieved epiphany while still in the Qi Refining Stage. And that one was my senior brother from the Qingyun Sect, who is now a true disciple of the sect."

I hope you don't spread this matter, otherwise with your current cultivation level, you might not be able to withstand the storm. Of course, if you have a strong background, I will just pretend I didn't hear what you said."

After hearing Pan Ning's words, Wu Ming finally understood how rare enlightenment was. Otherwise, Senior Brother Pan wouldn't have heard of it only a few times in decades. Of course, some people, due to their own weakness, might not share their enlightenment publicly. But Wu Ming also took Pan Ning's subsequent words to heart. He knew Pan Ning was doing this for his own good, and he certainly wouldn't be ungrateful.

"I will definitely keep in mind what you said, Senior Brother."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's first congratulate my junior brother on his advancement in cultivation. We must have a good drink today." Pan Ning said with a smile, and then ordered his men to prepare a sumptuous banquet.

Before long, the table was filled with a variety of delicacies, emitting an alluring aroma. Pan Ning and Wu Ming sat opposite each other and began to enjoy this feast. As they savored the delicacies, they chatted about world affairs, anecdotes, and the ways of cultivation. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Time slipped by, the night deepened, but the two men's conversation remained undimmed. They continued to clink glasses, drinking heartily. Before they knew it, Wu Ming was drunk, his eyes blurry, his speech slurred. Yet, despite this, his face still shone with satisfaction and joy.

Seeing this, Pan Ning was worried that Wu Ming's drunkenness would harm his health, so he decided to let him stay at his house for a night. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Wu Ming finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto Wu Ming's face, waking him from his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling a splitting headache, the hangover making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

This was definitely a rare experience for Wu Ming. After all, since entering the Qingyun Sect, he had rarely relaxed as thoroughly as he did now. Over the years, he had been constantly cultivating, improving his strength, and constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge and experience from the world of immortal cultivation.

With such a hectic and demanding pace of life, Wu Ming rarely has the opportunity to enjoy a moment of peace and leisure, let alone a moment of drinking with his heart completely loose. However, when he recalled the happy time he had with Pan Ning last night, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
