Chapter 326: 326. Please, be a human.

Du Ruxue noticed something strange about Fang Zhou’s situation.

He was indeed cultivating, but it didn’t seem like he was cultivating; his whole being seemed to merge with the space around him, and without using her eyes, she could not sense his presence at all.

Du Ruxue was very certain Fang Zhou had entered a mysterious and extraordinary state; it was not simply a closed-door retreat for cultivation.

She continued to watch, her eyes gradually widening, filled with astonishment.

"Could this be... enlightenment?!"

Du Ruxue’s expression was dazed as she murmured to herself, looking somewhat foolish.

Enlightenment in its literal sense means sudden realization.

It’s a state that can be encountered but not sought; after enlightenment, one’s cultivation and realm experience explosive growth.

Du Ruxue never thought she could actually witness this legendary scene with her own eyes one day.

Yes, enlightenment is a legend, every cultivator knows about this state, has a detailed understanding of enlightenment, but countless cultivators have never seen or experienced it in their lifetime.

It’s like winning the lottery jackpot, many people often read about it in the news, and some might even study the odds and techniques thoroughly.

But how many have actually won or seen it with their own eyes?

Du Ruxue is no different; she had heard countless stories about enlightenment but had never seen or experienced it herself. Because enlightenment only occurs for cultivators at the Innate Realm and above.

But now Fang Zhou’s situation had shattered Du Ruxue’s common sense; he was clearly only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so how could he have entered enlightenment?

Could it be his previous confidence was because he knew he could enter the state of enlightenment?

No, that’s impossible, enlightenment can’t just be summoned at will, you can’t have it just because you want it.

Du Ruxue shook her head, dismissing this insane thought from her mind.

Yet she couldn’t explain the scene before her; this had already touched upon the blind spots of her knowledge.

No matter what, a miracle had indeed happened, and while Du Ruxue felt envy, she also had a thought — perhaps she was witnessing history.

She did not leave, but continued to stand outside and observe, even though Fang Zhou sat motionless, Du Ruxue found it utterly captivating.

This was a rare spectacle; perhaps she too could perceive some sort of opportunity and thereby enter enlightenment.

Fang Zhou’s state of enlightenment lasted for a full day and night before ending.

When he opened his eyes, they seemed to flicker with light, illuminating the entire dim room.

After inspecting his body internally, Fang Zhou’s face broke into a smile.

Strengthening the physical body, transforming Spiritual Energy into True Qi, solidifying the Divine Soul, and awakening and refining origin power.

These four conditions, each had detailed cultivation methods recorded in the Kun Chapter of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique, which Fang Zhou forcibly learned during Wise Time.

He had already grasped a thin opportunity to advance to the Innate Realm.

Standing up from the ground, Fang Zhou stretched lazily, then pushed the door open and walked out.

Outside, he found Du Ruxue standing at the door, and he curiously asked, "When did you get here?"

Du Ruxue looked at Fang Zhou with a complex expression.

Like a student who stays up studying until two in the morning only to fail the exam, facing a classmate who spends nights playing games yet scores perfectly in every subject.

How could you be so unreasonable?

For goodness sake, act like a human; you make me feel like I’ve been an idiot all this time.

She had stood outside his door for a whole day and night, spying on Fang Zhou’s state of enlightenment, until her eyes turned red.

Yet she had gained no insight into any opportunities and could only watch as Fang Zhou improved himself in enlightenment, surpassing her with ease and composure.

Among the four conditions to advance to the Innate Realm, Du Ruxue had only learned to strengthen the physical body and convert Spiritual Energy into True Qi; solidifying the Divine Soul and awakening origin power were beyond her grasp.

But Fang Zhou had learned these four cultivation methods in just a few days—no, it should be said, within a day and a night. In terms of both realm and strength, he was now stronger than Du Ruxue.

Du Ruxue recalled her earlier thought that if Fang Zhou surpassed her in his closed-door cultivation, she would either smash her head against a brick or perform some absurd act.

She imagined it for a bit and couldn’t picture the posture, so she decided to forget about it since no one knew anyway.

Fang Zhou noticed Du Ruxue’s resentment, feeling somewhat perplexed—could it be this woman was grudging him for neglecting her?

No way, at her age, does she still need to be cared for like a child?

After all, Du Ruxue had taught him her cultivation insights, so Fang Zhou thought he should be a bit friendlier towards her.

So he smiled and said, "Come, come, let me demonstrate the results of my cultivation."

Du Ruxue let out a sarcastic laugh, turned, and left.

As a struggling student being mocked by a top student to their face, Du Ruxue had no face to stay any longer.

She wanted to find a quiet place to be alone, to think about whether the ten years she spent stagnating at the Foundation Establishment Realm had all gone to waste.

Fang Zhou hadn’t expected his warm approach to be so coldly received; was this woman entering menopause?

"What a lunatic, hetui!"

Fang Zhou spat on Du Ruxue’s departing figure.

However, he was making great progress now, in a very good mood, and decided not to bother with a woman with long hair and short knowledge.

...

In the days following, Fang Zhou did not slack off, investing himself intensely in his daily cultivation, not letting even a minute or second go to waste.

Strengthening the body and transforming Spiritual Energy into True Qi are complementary actions; one must first convert Spiritual Energy to Innate True Qi before strengthening the body for maximum effect.

Both require the consumption of massive amounts of Spiritual Energy, but fortunately, Fang Zhou had previously stored a large amount of Sword Lake Water and elixirs in his gourd, along with the Tree Demon Golden Core in his chest providing almost endless Spiritual Energy.

The combination of these three met the consumption needs of Fang Zhou’s cultivation; for an average cultivator, gathering so much Spiritual Energy would be immensely difficult.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, with just over ten days left in the sixty-day period.

Fang Zhou had nearly depleted all his Sword Lake Water and elixirs; the Golden Core in his chest had also been refined, releasing a large amount of Spiritual Energy, but its size remained unchanged.

Wise Time had once again cooled down, and Fang Zhou didn’t rush to use it but instead took out the sword pill and Experience Capsule.

The sword pill was an elixir made by the First Generation Sword Spirit of the Heavenly Sword Sect, possessing quite miraculous effects. After consumption, it can improve one’s gift and comprehension of sword control and significantly enhance cultivation, effective for the Innate Realm and below.

Especially at Perfect Foundation Establishment, taking the sword pill can greatly enhance the chance of advancing to the Innate Realm.

Fang Zhou took the sword pill into his mouth; the pill went down his throat, settled into his stomach, and began to emit an astonishing heat.

Fang Zhou felt the surging medicinal power spreading from the sword pill and quickly used Wise Time to put himself into an enlightenment state.

Just then, Du Ruxue stealthily came over to spy on Fang Zhou’s closed-door cultivation again.

Upon observing Fang Zhou’s state, Du Ruxue was instantly dumbfounded, feeling as if her worldview had been shattered.

This enlightenment occurrence isn’t like a monthly period; how could he have it once a month?
