Suzanne answered with a smile, "It took you only six months to attain enlightenment. I think it will take Miss Ito two to three years at the most." Ashley gently shook her head and said, "I beg to differ. Nanako is more talented than me. It might take her less time than it did me. Maybe she can succeed within a month." "Really?" Suzanne gasped in surprise, "You think so highly of her." Ashley nodded. "She is more pure than most adults. The purer a person is, the easier it is for them to attain enlightenment." At this moment, Nanako had come to the futon in the hall and sat cross-legged. Then, she closed her eyes, skillfully mobilized her essential qi and divine sense, and entered the introspection realm. Since she had already mastered the entire process of introspection, she easily returned to the Sea of Consciousness. At this point, the Sea of Consciousness was still as calm as before, without any waves. Nanako pushed her divine sense upward. The higher she went, the far

Master Jeevika didn't think much of it when Nanako said she wanted to try again. Nodding in agreement, he suggested, "If you wish to successfully enter the unconscious realm, relinquishing the seven emotions and six desires is the most reliable approach." Nanako was silent for a moment, murmuring, "What's the point of living if one cuts off all emotions and desires?" Without hesitation, Master Jeevika replied, "Only by eliminating emotions and desires can one have the chance to become enlightened and better serve to guide and save others." Nanako shook her head and replied earnestly, "Forgive me for being blunt, but isn't single-minded devotion to Buddha also a form of attachment? And constantly thinking about saving others—isn't that another form of desire? There's certainly nothing wrong with wanting to guide others, but not everyone is dissatisfied with their current life. If someone lives happily and contentedly, what need is there for someone else to 'save' them?" She cont

At this point, a thought suddenly popped up in Nanako's mind. "The Sea of Consciousness is in my body, in my purple abode. So, it should understand me best that I can't give up the seven emotions and six desires. If it still requires me to give up the seven emotions and six desires in order to merge with it, then that itself becomes an insoluble paradox. "Does that mean that my divine sense has no chance of merging with it? If that's the case, I'll never be able to attain enlightenment ever." At that moment, Nanako's divine sense once again fell into the silent and picturesque Sea of Consciousness. The powerful impact smashed her divine sense into the depths of the sea and caused her divine sense to be severely damaged again. The entire sense had no power to resist. Then, the enormous pressure of the Sea of Consciousness swept over her once more and carried her divine sense to the surface of the sea. At this point, Nanako felt a touch of despair—not because two failed attempt

Originally, her divine sense was like a bubble that was pushed to the surface of the sea by buoyancy. Now, her divine sense was being madly squeezed by the Sea of Consciousness. The pressure and buoyancy reached a delicate equilibrium in the sea. Nanako's consciousness was almost completely lost, but at that moment, she still instinctively tried her best to continue diving. The original subtle balance was broken in an instant, and her divine sense began to slowly fall deeper as if it had lost all buoyancy. Her entire consciousness gradually disappeared, and the world fell into a dark silence. After an unknown amount of time, a small spot of light suddenly appeared in the dark Sea of Consciousness. As soon as this light spot appeared, it quickly sank to the bottom. Then, inexplicably, more light spots appeared in the sea. These specks of light began to gather at the bottom of the sea like small cells. Having lost all sense of self, Nanako's consciousness suddenly reawakened.

"It wasn't a hallucination?!" Master Jeevika was shocked. From the moment he had seen Nanako, he knew that she would definitely be able to attain enlightenment and would definitely be faster than he did because of her gifted talent. Among millions of people, there might not be one person who had the ability to attain enlightenment, and that kind of person would never be able to attain enlightenment. But those who had the talent for cognition were just waiting for an opportunity to attain enlightenment. However, since the process of attaining enlightenment was too mysterious and there were almost no rules to speak of, it was unknown when those talented few could obtain the chance to attain enlightenment. Master Jeevika assumed that Nanako should be able to attain enlightenment in a year or two after he informed her of the key to attaining enlightenment, but he didn't expect that Nanako could succeed after just two attempts. Suppressing his shock, he asked, "Miss, you said

Nanako didn't realize that Master Jeevika's Buddhist heart had already changed somewhat. She said seriously, "Perhaps you have a certain deviation in understanding the direction of enlightenment. Although both the purple abode and the Sea of Consciousness are described in Buddhist and Taoist texts, enlightenment is ultimately the realm of cultivators. The Buddhist thought is 'no self', while the Taoist thought is 'true self', which are fundamentally opposites. Therefore, using Buddhist theories to solve the problems of Taoism may itself be somewhat misguided or even misplaced." "If the Taoist thought is 'true self', perhaps it is about allowing the Sea of Consciousness to perceive the realm of 'true self' so that it can merge with my divine sense." "What... I..." Master Jeevika was stunned for a moment. After a while, he gasped in realization, "You have truly enlightened me! I have learned a lot!" "You're too kind, Master." Nanako said hastily, humbly, and respectfully, "I am ble

The blessing of the protective talisman involved the master personally chanting scriptures to imbue the talisman with so-called magical power. Of course, this magical power was not true magical power in the literal sense. It was more about the merits and good intentions associated with it. After Master Jeevika consecrated and blessed the amulet, he gave it back to Nanako and said, "Please keep this amulet. If you are interested, you can study more Buddhist teachings. With your talent, you will be able to understand many principles that modern people cannot comprehend." Nanako knew that Master Jeevika was very obsessed with studying Buddhism, so she nodded and promised, "Don't worry, I'll try to read more." Master Jeevika bowed slightly and thanked Nanako. Nanako bowed respectfully in return and said goodbye to Master Jeevika. Master Jeevika saw her to the door and opened the hall door himself. When the door was opened, several believers were already waiting on the stone st

Ashley shook her head. "She has her own destiny, and her cultivation is far superior to mine. I can't mentor her." Although Ashley had successfully attained enlightenment with Curtis's help, she herself was not a genius in cultivation. Compared to a genius like Nanako, who had attained most of the enlightenment on her own, she was naturally inferior. Therefore, in Ashley's opinion, the direction of Nanako's development after enlightenment should be guided by Charlie, not by herself. Besides, she knew that Charlie was on his way back. She felt that Charlie would be very excited if he knew the news of Nanako's enlightenment. This could be seen as a little surprise that she had prepared as a mother for her son. That morning, many believers came to the temple one by one. Among them were people arranged by Ashley, and there were also genuine believers who rushed to come after hearing the news. At noon, the news that Master Jeevika would be giving a lecture at Aurous Hill's Qi Te

Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone

Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi

Vera was inwardly disappointed to hear that Claire was returning.That meant there were fewer chances of Charlie visiting the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, as were her chances of seeing him again.Still, she didn't let it show, instead asking casually, "How are things at Champs Elys? Are the warriors improving at a rate to your satisfaction?""Well, most of everyone's improvement is within expectations…" Charlie explained, just as he remembered a certain someone. "By the way, there's something I haven't told you yet. Are you perhaps acquainted with the name Ito Nanako?""Yes," Vera smiled. "The Japanese lady who was with you. What about her?""She attained enlightenment days ago.""Enlightenment?" Vera did a double take and soon pressed, "Enlightenment in what sense? Essential Qi or Reiki?"After all, the former was the path to enlightenment in martial arts, while the latter meant enlightenment in cultivation.But despite the distinction between both domains, enlightenment was a comm

While Charlie had long since gotten used to Elaine and Jacob's bizarre marriage, being near the heart of the storm still took a toll on his senses—to the point that he felt physically sick.Leaving right away was therefore his best solution.Once he left, however, he realized he didn't have anywhere to go. Champs Elys was quite far, and it would take a lot of time.As he started to feel bored stiff, he remembered Vera for some reason and called her.Once Vera answered, she quickly asked in curiosity, "To what do I owe the pleasure? Lunch, perhaps?"Charlie chuckled. "Since you've put it that way… I haven't eaten either, so lunch it is!"Vera giggled. "Come over to my place, then. It's cold outside, and I was just lighting up a hot pot. I'll have Madam Marilyn prepare an additional portion.""Okay!" Charlie agreed to it without hesitation. "I can return her car too. Just wait, I'll be right there!"Once he hung up, he got on the Rolls Roycs he had borrowed from Scarlet Pinnacl
