C2 Spiritual Diagram Enlightenment

The great matters of the nation lay in sacrifice and honor.

This was the most widespread saying in the entire Holy Sky Continent. Even Meng Tong could blurt it out, meaning that apart from sacrifices and battles, everything else was a small matter.

The Eastpan Kingdom that Ye Yun was in was a small kingdom under the jurisdiction of the Darkhan Empire. It was located in the southeast of the Cloud Sky Continent, bordering with Eastsea Kingdom on the north, Jichuan on the south, a prefecture that belonged directly to the Darkhan Empire on the west, and the stormy sea on the east.

There were a total of two powerful empires on the Cloud Sky Continent. They were the Qin Empire in the west and the eastern behemoths in the east. The two empires battled year after year, so both sides viewed military matters as very important.

In order to become a spirit diagram martial practitioner, the first requirement was to sense the existence of the sea of consciousness. Most people would open the sea of consciousness of the Tian Ji Palace during their youth.

However, a person who could not be enlightened by the spirit diagram before the age of eighteen would not have the chance to become a martial practitioner even if they opened their sea of consciousness.

Ye Yun was seventeen and he had one last chance. Tomorrow would be the annual day of enlightenment.

This was not the worst case scenario. He had just familiarized himself with this body and did not even have the time to understand what the Sea of Consciousness was before going to participate in the Enlightenment. How high would the success rate be?

The scar on the back of his head hurt again. Those guys were so ruthless. They hit the brick and nearly knocked this bro away. He reached out to touch them and sure enough, the wound was split open, and blood had already seeped out.

Looking at the blood on his hand, he forced a smile. When he accidentally saw a stain on the Blue Lotus Heart Cauldron, he reached out his hand to touch it without thinking.

The moment his blood-stained finger came into contact with the wall of the cauldron, light radiated from it and enveloped it in an instant.

Because it was daytime, and it was also inside the house, the light that shone through the broken windows, broken windows, and the cracks in the walls did not attract the attention of others.

It was only until the sound of knocking on the door that he slowly woke up. He did not know how long he had been lying on the wooden chest. Fortunately, his body did not show any signs of numbness.

The person who had come was Aunt Wang. She had heard from her son, Wang Hu, that Elder Wang had brought a bunch of people with him to cause trouble after rushing back from the market, and upon hearing that Ye Yun was resting, she did not come to disturb him.

There were two dishes of porridge and two steamed buns. What was rare was that there was a plate of stewed chicken in the middle of the two dishes, with two chicken legs at the top. They were surrounded by better meat.

"Yun Yang, I've heard of what happened during the day. Don't mind it too much, it's not something you can't pass." I have discussed this with your Uncle Wang. Worst case is, we will leave this place and come back to pick you up when we have a firm footing. " Aunt Wang advised, put down the plate and said, "Today I bought a chicken from the market, and I'll give you a good tonic to replenish your energy to participate in tomorrow's enlightenment."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang." He picked up a chicken leg and put it on a plate, saying, "Bring these back to Huzi. My appetite is small, and I can't afford to waste it. When Huzi grows up, you must eat your fill."

Aunt Wang hesitated for a long time. In the end, she couldn't force him, but before she carried away the plate, she left the other chicken leg behind.

After eating the steamed bun, he suddenly realized something. His head no longer hurt and his body no longer hurt.

Thinking back to what happened before Wang Aunt came in, he quickly turned his head to look at the wooden box next to the brick bed. The stain was gone.

He could not recall what had happened, but he was certain that most of the bruises had disappeared, and the wounds on the back of his head had formed scabs. There was no pain when he touched them, and he believed that they would heal in a few days.

There were too many secrets in this world, no matter how strange something was, he would gladly accept it.

At night, he had a dream. In the sky, there was a simple and unadorned seal. On the ground, there was a piece of white paper that seemed to extend into the horizon. It was as white as snow, stretching out in all directions without end.

The sky was still dark when Wang Meng came knocking on the door. He had prepared an ox-cart to send Ye Yun to town. Aunt Wang stuffed a few cooked eggs into his hands and told him to eat on the way.

The oxen pulling the carriages had become extremely old and were walking very slowly. This was the reason why they had to leave before daybreak.

When the first ray of light was released by the sun, Sunset Mountain Town appeared before their eyes.

Due to the years of war, even if it was just an ordinary small town, there were still patrol soldiers patrolling the walls of the city. They were nearly two Zhang high city walls, plus a five Zhang wide moat, they wielded bright blades and guns.

Old Ox pulled the cart unsteadily through the city gates. Uncle Wang turned to ask, "Yun Yang, are you stopping two streets away from the square, just like in previous years?"

"No need, let's go straight to the plaza." He said indifferently.

Wang Meng wanted to say something but hesitated. He raised his whip and continued to drive the old cow forward. In the past, Ye Yunyang would have stopped him at a relatively distant place because the others had all come in carriages.

When the old ox pulled the broken cart to the side of the square, it had indeed won a lot of looks. However, most of them were filled with mockery.

A youth pretended to be surprised and purposely raised his voice, "Isn't this the trash of the Ye Family? He actually shamelessly came again."

Someone echoed: "That's not true. This is the fourth time, right? Our Sunset Town record was still broken by him."

"I remember the first year he drew a tree, the second year he drew a rock, the third year he drew a blade of grass, three times he couldn't draw two different things, and the more he drew, the smaller he got. I wonder what he would draw this year, fleas?"

The mocking voice rang out in all directions, and Uncle Wang's face turned the color of the bottom of a pot.

Ye Yun smiled and got out of the car at a leisurely pace. "It's alright. Their mouths are on their faces. You can say whatever you want. I won't mind."

Uncle Wang nodded. He was an honest man with a stiff personality. Just now, he had been defending Ye Yun with his grievances, and Ye Yun did not care about it at all. Of course, he would not take it to heart.

In the carriage at the corner, Sun Shiqi frowned and said, "This kid really did come. Elder Ye, are you sure he came back empty-handed this time?"

Ye Dirong, who was hiding at the side, smiled and said, "He definitely won't be able to pass. Young Master Sun, you can rest assured that as soon as the enlightenment is over, I will immediately rush back and bring people to stop him at the village entrance to force him to submit."

Sun Shiqi laughed, "Alright, after this is done, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Young Master Sun. It is this old man's good fortune to be able to do something for you." Ye Dirong had the appearance of a dog slave, how could he still have the arrogance of a clan elder.

The youngsters who had received the enlightenment arrived one after another. A luxurious carriage appeared, and under the escort of several other carriages, it slowly drove over and stopped at the side of the plaza.

From the carriage, a young girl dressed in black ceremonial robes stepped down. Her figure was tall and graceful. The moment she turned around, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes. She was too beautiful!

In the black ceremonial attire, the girl's exposed neck and face were extremely fair, tender to the extreme. Under the exquisite headdress, her eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, then she had a pair of large watery eyes, a straight and tall nose, and a rosy little mouth and pointed chin.

When she got out of the car, the curtain on the side of the carriage was raised, as if an old man were explaining something to her.

The mayor didn't even have the qualifications to go over. A spectating parent asked in confusion, "Sir Mayor, it's just enlightenment, why do you need so many important people to personally step in?"

"You don't understand. The person sitting in the carriage is the priest of our holy temple. The county's order is obviously to come personally." the mayor swore.

The surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air. Someone whispered, "Priests of the Holy Temple are people on the same level as the king. Why would he come to our little Sunset Mountain Town?"

The Mayor shook his head, "I don't know either. Let's all be a bit more formal and try to leave a good impression on the Lord Priest."

It was obvious that the so-called lord priest had no intention of getting off the carriage. After instructing the beautiful woman for a while, he put down the curtain.

Girls wore sacrificial robes with green bamboo leaves embroidered at the cuffs and collar. Sacrificers were ranked third amongst the nine levels of magicians. They were not considered high, but they were enough for the country bumpkins in the town to look up to.

She took a deep breath, and the county magistrate nodded to her with a face full of smiles. He then turned around and said in a clear voice, "Children of Sunset Mountain Town, this is Master Dongfang Yi Xue from our holy temple in the capital of Dongping Province. She will be responsible for the enlightenment of today's spirit diagram, and all the youths participating in the enlightenment will be queued up in the plaza.

Someone whispered: "Her surname is Dongfang, she can't be the family of the priest Dongfang Pingtai, right?"

"I know, she is the granddaughter of the Lord Priest."

Listening to their discussion, Ye Yun walked into the square with the crowd. Hundreds of tables had been prepared inside, covered with paper, pens, ink, and ink stones.

After all the teenagers were in position, Yi Xue walked up to the stage in front of them and extended her right hand that was hidden in her wide sleeves. She raised an ancient staff that was about a foot long and said with a pleasant voice that sounded like an oriole, "Everyone, please get ready.

The golden sun was located in the upper right corner of the picture, emitting a boundless radiance. The mountain peaks below the picture were crisscrossed, winding along the road, the towering ancient trees intersected with each other, and a surging great river snaked through the picture scroll. The mountains, hills, and plains were crisscrossed, and the palaces and pavilions were interspersed with each other.

The picture was like a mountain pressing down on the top of the mountain. It stopped three meters above the youngsters' heads. Everyone stood in different positions, but the scene they saw was the same.

The teenagers slowly immersed themselves from their initial panic. Due to the lack of time, they had to quickly memorize the contents of the pictures in their minds. Whether they could do so through enlightenment depended on how much they could draw next.

According to the rules, after fifteen minutes, the picture would disappear. At that time, everyone would have to draw out more than two different things according to the memories in their sea of consciousness.

Those who passed the trial would cultivate through the scenes in their sea of consciousness until the entire painting was reflected in their sea of consciousness. Then, they could become spirit diagram martial practitioners at the initial stage of the Spirit Opening Realm.

The Spirit Diagram martial artists had a total of nine palaces that could carry the sea of consciousness, corresponding to nine realms. They were the Awakening Spirit Realm, Profound Light Realm, Cultivation Realm, Enlightenment Realm, Spirit Gathering Realm, Natal Opening Realm, Golden Body Realm, Bright Sky Realm, and Saint Dao Realm. After breaking through one realm, they could open the next palace and enter a new realm.

According to their understanding and grasp of the spirit diagrams, each stage was further subdivided into ten levels: initial recognition, calligraphy, ink recognition, color reading, viewing, hearing, quality, taste, taste, appreciation, and the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Everyone raised their heads to watch carefully, with the exception of Ye Yun. His shifty eyes darted around but his gaze never left the beauties on the stage.

In addition, it was the kind of gaze that was full of aggression.

Dongfang Yi Xue was concentrating on maintaining the spirit diagram in the air, and she felt two fiery gazes shifting back and forth on her body. She was distracted for a moment, and the staff in her hands almost fell to the ground, and she barely managed to keep her mind, as she angrily thought to herself, "Who is that? He isn't looking at the spirit diagram, but is staring at me instead."
