This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 58: Daoist Enlightenment

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Daoist Enlightenment

20w Experience abruptly vanished

But what it brought in return was a frightening stream of information, as if Yu Liangyi had undergone countless practices. The formidable power from the System threw all the information about advancing the Cultivation Technique from the Second Realm to the Third Realm into his Sea of Consciousness.

As Yu Liangyi’s mind and body were fully immersed in the Sea of Consciousness, unknown to him, mystical transformations occurred around him.

With the acceptance of the information stream in the Sea of Consciousness, Yu Liangyi’s understanding of the Cultivation Technique deepened gradually, and his Cultivation Technique Realm officially started moving from the Second to the Third Realm.

An indescribable mystery spread from within Yu Liangyi, surging towards the surroundings, and above his head by three feet, a divine light appeared, from which Heavenly Blossoms condensed and gently fell. The thunderous sound of the Great Dao resounded but returned to silence just a few steps away from Yu Liangyi, the only listener with his eyes closed, too occupied to care.

········

"Is this, Daoist Enlightenment!? How is that possible?"

Feeling the current state of his disciple from the seal he had personally set, Chen Hua, who had been lazily lying in the clouds above Youdao Mountain, suddenly sat up, uttering in disbelief.

"The Great Dao, no, the Heavenly Dao had clearly already······"

Chen Hua furrowed his brows, murmuring to himself.

"Boundless Dao" itself is a work written by a "Daoist Immortal" when facing the Heavenly Dao, and it is also renowned as the Cultivation Technique "most likely to trigger Daoist Enlightenment" during advancement.

Once Daoist Enlightenment is triggered, the cultivator will make dramatic progress in certain aspects. In early stages, Daoist Enlightenment merely makes the cultivator’s progress smoother and faster. However, should it occur at a higher Realm, the gains are unimaginably substantial.

Therefore, techniques like "Boundless Dao" that can trigger Daoist Enlightenment upon a single advancement were also among the most supreme techniques in the Ancient times.

But that was an affair of the Ancient era; the environment of the Cultivation World has changed drastically from those times, not to mention that the Heavenly Dao has already undergone some sort of change today.

"No, this situation should have started changing since half a month ago. I forgot to ask Old Dao Fang about this; he is the one most familiar with the Heavenly Mechanism, I must remember next time."

Chen Hua lay down again, recalling the changes in his own Realm a few days ago, gaining some understanding, and then slowly closed his eyes again, no longer concerned.

··········

Receiving such a massive stream of information in an instant was like a mortal facing a high-pressure water jet, forcing Yu Liangyi to grit his teeth, enduring without letting out a cry of pain.

Not just the Sea of Consciousness, the mysterious power from the System was also silently altering Yu Liangyi’s physical condition. Previously in the game, there was no sensation, but now in a real world, the advancement in Cultivation Technique Realm, the transformation of Cultivation Realm were all bringing earth-shattering changes.

"Phew."

After an unknown period, Yu Liangyi slowly relaxed his gum, his body gradually loosening, pain unknowingly disappearing, and the external phenomena returning to the void.

He had no idea that he had entered into some Daoist Enlightenment, just thought it was a usual level up.

"Extreme convenience comes at an extreme price, huh?" Yu Liangyi used Mana to slowly wipe off the cold sweat from his body, sighing involuntarily.

If there were a mirror, Yu Liangyi would see that in just a dozen seconds, his complexion had changed from a healthy ruddiness to a lifeless pallor.

It was as if a cheerful and sunny handsome guy suddenly adopted a melancholic vibe.

"I didn’t expect it to be so painful!" Yu Liangyi felt somewhat apprehensive. Such pain was truly unbearable for a human, coming entirely from the Sea of Consciousness, and it even pressed him so that he could not feel his body. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary otaku, and such stimulation was truly too much for his small heart to handle.

Previously, because his Realm was too low, Yu Liangyi had thought that leveling up was the same as in games. It was only this time that the System harshly slapped him.

"Want to reap the benefits without paying the price? What kind of dream is that!"

In our last life, players were generally trounced by NPCs and felt it was totally unfair! Initially, they vented their frustration on the forums.

"Why the hell should I grind for Equipment and Level up only to still be beaten by an NPC? Is this game still playable? I want to complain!"

"If it weren’t for the different art style, I’d think I was playing Dark Souls!"

"A cultivational version of Mario? Die in so many weird and wonderful ways! (Funny)"

"Don’t think just because you’re drunk you can do anything! Sorry, you can’t solve math problems and you can’t beat an NPC either!"

······

As the game became a hit, these protests and complaints continued endlessly like winter snowflakes.

But after all, this isn’t a niche game. From kids as young as eight to your eighty-year-old mother, everyone’s inside. Not every player likes fighting NPCs head-on; there are scenery lovers, casual players, and salted fish players, so this issue persisted without change.

Of course, this also greatly relates to the game company’s behavior of only updating versions and "playing dead" the rest of the time.

Liang Yi only now realizes it’s totally normal for players to not beat NPCs.

You’re playing a game, they’re playing for their lives!

After calming down for a while, Liang Yi finally recovered. Opening the panel, he saw the Endless Dao had progressed from two layers to three layers.

And its special effect also changed: [Boundless Dao: Experience consumption reduced by 20%.]

"Awesome!" Liang Yi exclaimed excitedly, waving his fist.

20% may not seem like much, but when accumulating little to much, the saved Experience could amount to a terrifying number.

After the excitement, Liang Yi began to ponder how to use the remaining Experience.

Upon reflection, he first leveled up his Character Level by one and noticed no strong sensations in his body. Then he leveled up to Level 20 and stopped.

He guessed that the advancement in Cultivation Techniques was starting to become more real, hence his own Realm advancement must certainly be similar. Minor level-ups might not be noticeable, but major Realm breakthroughs are likely quite different from normal leveling.

So, for the time being, Liang Yi kept himself at the Great Perfection of the First Realm, taking his time in the next six months to research without any rush.

Anyway, it’s just him here, no one else. His master wouldn’t be idly watching over him, and even if he were to show off and break through to the Third Realm, there’d be no one around to appreciate it.

After all the operations, there were only about 200,000 Experience left; actually, Liang Yi couldn’t show off even if he wanted to.

Because advancing from Level 19 to 20 only needed 90,000 Experience, and advancing to Level 21 needed even more; Liang Yi didn’t have enough Experience.

Such a huge gap, and yet the game company isn’t afraid of going too far.

Nonchalantly assigning attribute points to strength and agility, Liang Yi stood up and adapted to his body in the spacious area.

Unlike in the game, where hitting just results in a bunch of numbers, now, if he didn’t control his suddenly increased strength properly, it would be easy to end up creating holes in the ground after breaking through a realm.

First, he performed a set of widely known radio calisthenics to loosen up his body, then he executed the Immaculate Sword Technique from the beginning to the end several times.

After the entire routine, Liang Yi finally regained precise control of his body to avoid any embarrassing mistakes.
