Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Su Linglong’s Epiphany

"Ah? Enlightenment?"

Su Linglong was startled for a moment. Although her gaze had been outward, her heart was entirely focused on Fang Bai. She hadn’t given any thought to anything else—where would any enlightenment come from?

"That won’t do! A martial artist can cultivate anytime, anywhere. Your brief distraction just now might have caused you to miss an excellent opportunity for enlightenment!"

As Fang Bai spoke, he reached out with his hand and flicked Su Linglong’s smooth forehead lightly, saying, "This flick is your punishment! Starting now, focus your mind and look at those trees in the rain... Observe the trees bathed in Yushui, and see how they differ from their usual state..."

"Oh, I get it now!"

Su Linglong’s pretty face turned slightly red. She rubbed the spot on her forehead where she had been flicked, gathered all her concentration, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and stared unblinkingly at a large tree outside the window.

The large tree that Su Linglong focused on, after being washed by the rain, had branches and leaves that were spotless and as verdant as green jade, brimming with vitality and exhaling an aura of flourishing life and energy.

Through the curtain of rain, Su Linglong’s gaze fell upon that large tree. After a moment of intense observation, a hint of marvel appeared in her eyes, and then she slowly closed them and sat silently, lost in contemplation.

Fang Bai, with a smile on his face, let his gaze sweep over Su Linglong’s face before also settling on the large tree, and he closed his eyes as well.

Su Linglong possessed a Water Spirit Root, one of the Five Elements, while Fang Bai had a Chaos True Body which encompassed all Five Elements and Wind Thunder. Both of them were silently contemplating the Way of Five Elements Inter-promotion and the Heaven and Earth Dao through the rain and the tree before them.

Other guests in the large dining room, upon seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman sitting opposite to each other with their eyes closed, as if deep in meditation like old monks, were filled with curiosity. They pointed and made low comments among themselves.

After about fifteen minutes, Su Linglong slowly opened her eyes, emanating a more powerful aura than usual, subtly fluctuating around her. She also wore a trace of joy in her expression.

"Did you gain any enlightenment this time?"

Fang Bai also opened his eyes at this moment, self-poured a cup of wine, and asked with a smile.

"I did."

"Tell me about it."

"Among the Five Elements, water nourishes wood..."

Su Linglong, as if she had discovered a new continent, was exceptionally excited and lowered her voice to speak to Fang Bai, "I have a Wood Spirit Root, and if I cultivate the ’Heaven’s Net’ technique in water, with the aid of Water Element Qi, it will produce twice the result with half the effort..."

"And what else?"

Fang Bai nodded and casually inquired further.

"Also..."

Su Linglong thought for a moment, then added, "If I fight an opponent in the rain or water, my strength will be greater than usual, and the chances of victory will be bigger!"

"Indeed, you are clever, grasping the concept at once! From now on, when you cultivate ’Heaven’s Net’, it will be best done in water or near a water source."

Fang Bai, sensing the fluctuations of the aura emitted from Su Linglong, knew that her cultivation had improved during her moment of enlightenment, and he felt quite pleased.

Martial Dao cultivation is indeed marvelous. Sometimes, a lifetime of arduous practice might not bring much progress, yet sometimes a single moment of insight can be a key factor in breaking through a bottleneck.

Su Linglong, with her Innate Spiritual Root, is a genius in the world of Martial Dao, making any cultivation technique she practices more effective, with more opportunities for sudden insights.

Earlier, with just a slight hint from Fang Bai, Su Linglong had an insight into how water can nourish wood among the Five Elements. She had advanced further on the path of Martial Dao, and her cultivation level had reached the pinnacle of Yellow Level Perfection.

It should be known that on the Martial Dao path, each advancement becomes more challenging. Perhaps you might break through the first realm in just a month, but the second realm might require three to five months, and the third realm may take three to five years...

Someone like Su Linglong, who managed to cultivate from an ordinary person to a high-rank Yellow Level realm in just half a year, can be called a demonic genius among martial artists. But even Su Linglong herself had never dared to believe that she could advance from a high-rank Yellow Level to Yellow Level Perfection in a short time.

However, it was precisely because of Fang Bai’s recent guidance and Su Linglong’s own enlightenment, that she was now infinitely close to achieving Yellow Level Perfection, which was truly an unexpected joy.

Su Linglong had a feeling that perhaps her breakthrough would come soon.

Once she advanced to Yellow Level Perfection, Su Linglong would touch upon the barrier to becoming a Profound Level Martial Artist, and once she advanced, it would signify a qualitative leap in strength, allowing her to join the ranks of experts in the Secular Ancient Martial World.

There was still time before work began, so Fang Bai and Su Linglong were in no hurry to finish eating. They sat by the window, leisurely enjoying the food, occasionally peering out to the scene beyond the window—looking for inspiration in the integration of wood and water for the Martial Dao.

Suddenly, Fang Bai, feeling playful, used his Divine Sense to guide a wisp of True Yuan, slowly releasing it outside. He then pointed out the window and said to Su Linglong, "I’ll show you some magic. Look there..."

Su Linglong put down her drink, followed the direction Fang Bai was pointing and watched. A few meters away from the window, a patch of rain suddenly suspended in mid-air. Then, as if manipulated by an invisible hand, it began to change at a visible speed.

The raindrops quickly gathered into a water ball the size of a soccer ball, which continuously twisted and transformed, finally shaping into a large heart.

If one looked closely, they could see that on that heart-shaped pattern formed by rainwater, there was a line of writing that read—Su Linglong, I love you.

Su Linglong stared blankly at the water heart, repeating the words over and over in her mind, feeling as if her heart was filled with honey. Her large, bright eyes gradually misted over with tears.

"It’s quite magical, isn’t it?"

Fang Bai asked with a smile.

"Mhm, how did you do it?"

Su Linglong sniffed, asking.

Fang Bai said, "When you become even stronger, I will teach you how to cultivate Divine Sense. Once you have Divine Sense, combined with Essence Energy, you’ll be able to do it just like I did!"

"What is Divine Sense?"

"Simply put, Divine Sense is a combination of spirit and consciousness."

Fang Bai explained, "Divine Sense resides in the Sea of Consciousness and can be cultivated. When Divine Sense becomes strong enough, it can leave the Sea of Consciousness, extend outside the body, and penetrate everywhere, helping you detect things beyond your vision..."

"This ability is really amazing!"

"Yeah, detecting things is only the initial stage of cultivating Divine Sense. At higher realms, Divine Sense can even condense into a form, launching attacks on opponents or defending oneself, truly achieving to kill without being seen."

"What level have you cultivated your Divine Sense to?"

"Me? My Divine Sense is still weak. It’s okay for detecting movements around me or doing magic like I just did, but to use Divine Sense to kill is still far off."

"So how far can your Divine Sense reach now?"

"Everything within a thousand meters is within the coverage of my Divine Sense."

Fang Bai confidently said, glancing at another table across the restaurant, he chuckled and said, "See those men at the northwest corner? They were just discussing the two of us..."

"What did they say?"

Su Linglong asked curiously, her gaze shifting toward the table in the northwest corner of the restaurant. Several well-dressed young men were eating and drinking, their faces slightly flushed with alcohol, and their gazes toward her were full of lewdness and malice, disgustingly invasive.
