The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2561: Enlightenment and Harvest

However, in this endless confusion and struggle, Matthew suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He realized that this might be the benefit that the palace master brought him, an opportunity for enlightenment.

Matthew had experienced a state of enlightenment before, when he was still very weak. That enlightenment was like a faint ray of dawn that briefly illuminated a small section of his long path of practice.

But Matthew did not gain much from that epiphany. He just had a vaguer understanding of some basic concepts of spiritual practice, and he quickly came out of that wonderful state.

At that time, his concept of enlightenment was still vague. He didn't understand why some people could get great opportunities in enlightenment while others could only miss it.

In his mind, epiphany was like an unattainable legend.

Later, as he continued to explore on the path of cultivation, he gradually understood that enlightenment, as one of the most mysterious spiritual states in the world of cultivation, the mystery behind it was far beyond his understanding.

Almost no one can explain how it came about.

It seems to be a gift from God, with no rules to follow.

How many people, in pursuit of that hard-earned sense of enlightenment, have spent countless time and energy, looking for various opportunities, and trying various methods.

Some go deep into dangerous areas to search for the legendary mysterious ruins.

Some secluded themselves for several years, trying to communicate with heaven and earth through meditation.

Some even risked fighting with other powerful monks, hoping to gain a moment of enlightenment between life and death.

However, the vast majority of them end up failing.

They have exhausted all their efforts in the pursuit of enlightenment, but in the end they can only look at the unattainable goal with sadness.

And now, the method used by the Palace Master can actually allow Matthew to enter a state of enlightenment directly.

Matthew recalled the efforts he had made to achieve enlightenment, and now looking at the opportunity for enlightenment that he had easily obtained, he was filled with amazement at the Palace Master's methods.

Matthew's consciousness was still wandering aimlessly in the white world. Everything around him was still pale and empty. The concept of time was completely distorted here. He didn't know how long he had been floating in this strange space.

The light around seemed to become more blurred, and the layers of light and shadow flickered like a dream bubble.

Matthew felt as if his consciousness was entangled by countless fine silk threads. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

He tried hard to sort out his confused thoughts, but his mind was like a mess and he had no clue.

Just when he felt extremely confused and helpless, suddenly, he noticed some extremely faint spots of light slowly floating around him.

These spots of light are like the twinkling stars in the night sky. Although dim, they carry a mysterious attraction.

Matthew subconsciously floated towards the light spots, trying to find out their source.

As he got closer, the number of light spots seemed to increase, and they gathered around Matthew into a soft halo.

Matthew discovered that these spots of light contained a strange power, which flowed slowly into his consciousness like a trickle of water.

At first, this infusion of power made Matthew feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if an unfamiliar force was forcibly changing the structure of his consciousness.

But soon, he adapted to the change.

The power in those spots of light was like small trickles that converged into a rushing river, continuously nourishing his consciousness.

As more and more light spots were absorbed, Matthew's consciousness gradually became clearer.

His originally confused thoughts began to become organized, and he began to be able to think about things that he had not been able to understand before.

At this moment, his consciousness inexplicably began to examine the Hunyuan Xuanjing that he had been practicing.

This set of skills was the foundation for him to embark on the path of cultivation, and it accompanied him through countless trials and tribulations.

However, during his previous practice, he always felt that the Hunyuan Xuanjing seemed to be missing something, and there was an indescribable imperfection.

At this moment, after absorbing the power of those light spots, his consciousness was like being lit up by a bright lamp, and he suddenly had a new understanding of the Hunyuan Xuanjing.

He discovered that the meridian routes of the Hunyuan Xuanjing seemed to be able to be subtly adjusted.

Some of the originally slightly stiff connections have now become smooth and natural.

He seemed to be able to see that the path of spiritual energy flowing in the meridians became wider and smoother, and the speed at which magic power flowed through it also greatly increased.

With this understanding, he can control the direction of magic power and the burst of power more accurately, and every movement contains more powerful power.

Not only that, Matthew was also pleasantly surprised to find that there were some additional contents in the text of Hunyuan Xuanjing that he had never seen before.

These new additions were like treasures hidden in the deep sea, which were accidentally unearthed by him during this epiphany.

Those are some secret techniques, and each technique contains unique power.

The emergence of these secret techniques made Matthew extremely excited.

He began to practice these secret techniques repeatedly in his mind, feeling their perfect integration with his own magic power.

In addition to the secret techniques, there are also some subsequent chapters on exercises in the Hunyuan Xuanjing.

These chapters are like steps leading to a higher realm, pointing him in the direction to move forward.

However, these chapters are all disorganized and there is no way to sort them out completely.

Matthew also knew that this was definitely due to his own lack of cultivation.

However, this was more than enough for Matthew.

Matthew immersed himself in these new discoveries, constantly absorbing the knowledge.

He felt like he was swimming in an ocean of knowledge, and every new discovery made him excited.

As he came to understand these new additions, Matthew's consciousness changed again.

He seemed to have merged with the Hunyuan Xuanjing and become a part of this technique.

He could feel the powerful force contained in the Hunyuan Xuanjing surging continuously.

As time went on, Matthew gained more and more from his epiphanies.

His consciousness became clearer and his understanding of the Hunyuan Xuanjing became deeper.

He has fully mastered the new secret techniques and integrated them into his actual combat.

However, the time of enlightenment was much shorter than he expected.

He began to slowly come out of his state of enlightenment, and his consciousness gradually separated from the white world.

When Matthew fully woke up, he found that his body was moving rapidly backwards.

Under his feet was the purple light that had brought him in.

Matthew knew that this trip to the space rift was completely completed.

However, there are still many things waiting for him to do.
