The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Lin Yitang was somewhat moved after hearing Jiang Qiushuang's words. She had to admit that Jiang Qiushuang's idea was indeed reasonable. If Ye Qiuli's evil deeds were exposed, her reputation would be completely ruined, and she would no longer be able to stand in the sect.

At the same time, she and the cultivators who had been persecuted by Ye Qiuli could also clear their names and restore their innocence.

However, Lin Yitang still had some problems that remained unresolved.

She frowned and asked, "Sister Jiang, I understand what you're saying, but how can we be sure these people aren't dead? Usually, before a disciple is expelled from the sect, in order to prevent the inheritance from being lost, their cultivation is stripped away, and they become mortals. In the perilous world of cultivation, mortals are at the very bottom, so these female disciples could very well be dead."

Jiang Qiushuang remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

After a while, she slowly spoke, "You're right, these female disciples are indeed in a very dangerous situation. The cultivation world is a place where the strong prey on the weak. They have been expelled from their sects and lost their cultivation. They are like lambs to the slaughter, and may be devoured by a more powerful being at any time. However, I believe that some of them must still be alive."

She looked at Lin Yitang with unwavering determination, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "Even if the chances of finding a living person are slim, I will still go to look for them. Whether I look or not is a different matter. This is the only path I have now, and I will do everything in my power to walk it. So what if the hope is slim?"

"Think about the Great Dao we pursue, isn't it just like this? We defy the heavens and fight against fate, isn't it all for that sliver of possibility? If we give up even that little hope, then what are we cultivating for immortality? What are we seeking for the Dao?"

"So even if the possibility is close to zero, I will seize this sliver of possibility, strive and fight, even if I may gain nothing, I will not regret it."

As Lin Yitang listened to Jiang Qiushuang's words, it felt as if a lightning bolt had struck her heart.

She murmured to herself, repeating Jiang Qiushuang's words: "Yes, isn't the purpose of cultivators to find that faint glimmer of opportunity on the vast path to immortality? What am I hesitating about?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a throbbing in her heart, as if something was about to burst forth from the earth. The spiritual energy in the air seemed to become active, rushing towards her in a frenzy.

Spiritual energy formed a funnel shape above her head, flowing and surging through her meridians before finally converging in her dantian. She could feel her cultivation level rapidly increasing, as if she had broken through an invisible shackle and entered a completely new realm.

This feeling is what cultivators call sudden enlightenment!

Enlightenment is the dream of every cultivator. It signifies a breakthrough in cultivation, an elevation of realm, and a leap in strength. Like a peerless treasure, enlightenment is rare and unattainable. Most cultivators may never have the opportunity for enlightenment in their entire lives.

Its benefits are immense; it not only greatly enhances a cultivator's cultivation level but also deepens their understanding of the Dao. Some cultivators, after achieving enlightenment, can even create their own unique skills and spells.

Lin Yitang awoke from her mysterious sensations and, realizing what had happened, began to sense the changes within her body.

At this moment, her cultivation level was increasing at an astonishing rate, seemingly without end, and she was intoxicated by the growth in strength.

When I opened my eyes again, I felt completely refreshed.

Her aura became even stronger, radiating the spiritual pressure of her recent breakthrough, and it was very stable.

Lin Yitang looked inward at her dantian with some disbelief and was surprised to find that she had actually reached the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment!

She was shocked; she never expected that this sudden enlightenment would allow her to break through so much!

It's important to understand that Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining are different. Although there are only three minor stages—early, middle, and late—each stage is like an insurmountable chasm. An average person might break through several stages during the Qi Refining stage after ten years of cultivation, but struggles to even break through a single stage during the Foundation Establishment stage.

It can be said that each breakthrough to a minor level takes tens or even hundreds of years, unless one is a genius from one of the three major sects.

Yet she reached the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage in a short period of enlightenment, which is simply unbelievable!

Lin Yitang quickly stood up and bowed to Jiang Qiushuang excitedly: "Senior Sister Jiang, thank you so much! Your words have benefited me greatly!"

However, Jiang Qiushuang's reaction was beyond her expectations. Her eyes widened and her mouth gaped open, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

She stammered, "Junior Sister Lin, you...you've had an epiphany?"

Lin Yitang nodded, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Yes, it's all thanks to your guidance."

Jiang Qiushuang seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and sat down on the ground with a thud, muttering to herself, "How is this possible? I've lived for so many years, and I've only ever heard of enlightenment. I've never seen anyone achieve enlightenment in person! I never thought that someone would actually achieve enlightenment in front of me today, and even break through directly from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment!"

She looked up at Lin Yitang with a complicated expression, sighed, and said, "Junior Sister Lin, your sudden enlightenment this time has truly opened my eyes! I always thought I was a genius and worked very hard in cultivation, but compared to you, I'm simply a piece of trash!"

Lin Yitang quickly comforted her, "Sister Jiang, don't say that. You are my guide, and my breakthrough is inseparable from your guidance. In my eyes, you are already a genius."

Jiang Qiushuang sighed and patted Lin Yitang on the shoulder: "You're right. Enlightenment is something that can't be forced, we can't ask for it. Congratulations on breaking through to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. I believe it won't be long before you reach the middle stage."

Lin Yitang nodded and accepted Jiang Qiushuang's congratulations.

Then, she suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "By the way, Sister Jiang, how many days has it been since I started my breakthrough?"

Jiang Qiushuang was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Three days and three nights have passed, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's expression instantly changed, and she inwardly cried out in alarm. If she remembered correctly, the classes at One Sword Peak were scheduled to begin today! And in less than a quarter of an hour!

"Oh no, how could I forget about that?"

Seeing Lin Yitang's anxiety, Jiang Qiushuang quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, you should still make it. Hurry up and get there. I'll use my spiritual energy to help you, and you should be able to make it."

Lin Yitang nodded, suppressed her cultivation to the tenth level of Qi Refining, and then released a paper crane, which transformed into a stream of light and flew swiftly towards the direction of One Sword Peak.

During the flight, Jiang Qiushuang attached herself to the Soul-Nourishing Wood.

She formed hand seals, and golden runes flew from her fingertips, disappearing into the paper crane's body. With the help of a Golden Core cultivator, the paper crane's speed increased several times over, transforming into a streak of light as it flew swiftly towards One Sword Peak.
