Primordial Cultivator

Although he was confused about this kind of phenomenon, Yang Wei predicts it should be something similar to what happened during the Lecture Hall.

‘My mind seems to become calmer as I focus more on this state.’ Yang Wei said inwardly as he stopped paying attention to his surroundings.

Hours went by as Yang Wei remained in his lotus position whereas Elder Jing had stopped cultivating a long time ago.

“The other sects had gradually arrived already and the Pagoda seemed to be appearing a bit later than the expected time.” Elder Jing mumbled softly before staring at Yang Wei.

“Hmm, it should be about time that Yang Wei wakes up from his mental state now.” Elder Jing calculated the time interval as she made her conjecture.

Trembling!

Suddenly, the ground started to shake and Elder Jing smiled bitterly at Yang Wei.

‘Did everyone have to create a ruckus when they made some improvement in their cultivation path?’

Elder Jing cursed inwardly as she hoped Yang Wei wouldn’t be like those fanatics that like to break the roof or building whenever they make a breakthrough.

Almost like heaven has answered Elder Jing’s prayer as the ground stopped trembling and the atmosphere remained calm again.

Elder Jing chuckled softly as she didn’t mind for this scenario to keep happening whenever she tried to pray.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei slowly opened his eyes with a refreshing feeling, almost like he just broke some shackles that were slowly lurking in behind him.

Standing up, Yang Wei started stretching his body, feeling extremely comfortable with his current mindset.

“Seems like the mental state was a success,” Elder Jing exclaimed when she saw Yang Wei being in such a happy manner.

“M-Mind state?”

Yang Wei held a dumbfounded expression as he stared at Elder Jing.

It was the first time he ever heard of a mental state and he didn’t even understand what had occurred to him.

Elder Jing was rendered speechless when she forgot about Yang Wei being oblivious to anything related to the cultivation world.

His starting point was so bad that it was already a shocker for others to know he managed to become a cultivator without any resources or family background to provide for him.

“Sigh, Yang Wei, do you know anything about enlightenment?” Elder Jing sighed softly as she decided to start from there.

Without any surprises, Yang Wei shook his head with a confused expression.

“What is enlightenment? Is it some kind of technique that can train one’s mind like what I did before?” Yang Wei asked innocently.

Elder Jing’s facepalm as she knew it was going to be like this. No one was able to guide Yang Wei so she had to do this task instead.

‘Heaven, why are you playing me like this?’ Elder Jing sighed inwardly as she took a deep breath.

Afterward, Elder Jing stared at Yang Wei and started explaining enlightenment and mental state.

“Enlightenment is something a cultivator can only chance upon and you have already encountered it once during the Lecture Hall in the sect.” Elder Jing said, causing Yang Wei to hold a disbelief expression.

“W-Wait a minute, I-I have entered the enlightenment state before and it was during the Lecture Hall time?” Yang Wei asked stutteringly before recalling something else.

“H-How did you know I entered the enlightenment state since I remember seeing nobody present when I reopened my eyes.” Yang Wei was confused about how Elder Jing would know so much about him.

It was like he had no secret at all and Elder Jing knew each and every tiny detail. There wasn’t even a point to hide some secret from her as she could easily detect it yet keep silent about it.

Elder Jing stumbled slightly as she forgot that the sect leader had told her not to inform Yang Wei about his whereabouts.

After all, the sect leader was spying on an outer disciple like a pervert and if words were to get out then there’ll be a big scandal in their sect.

Thus, Elder Jing cleared her throat slightly before glancing at Yang Wei.

“Who am I? I’m Elder Jing, meaning nothing inside the sect can hide from me so of course, I will know something big like a disciple entering enlightenment as it’s a rare occurrence.” Elder Jing exclaimed with a haughty tone.

Yang Wei pondered slightly as he nodded his head as her words were logical.

‘Elder Jing knew everything just by asking a few people or doing some investigation so it should have been obvious that she noticed my enlightenment state.’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he continued to pay attention to Elder Jing’s lecture.

Elder Jing continued on with some more details about enlightenment before moving on to the mental state.

“As for the mental state that you just encountered, those can be guided by some senior cultivator because a mental state is more like solidifying a cultivator’s mind and doesn’t really improve their cultivation.” Elder Jing said and continued.

“However, don’t think that a mental state is negligible as they’re important in keeping the cultivator mind clear of evil such as cleansing one’s inner demon heart which could affect a cultivator in the long run.”

“Un, I understand now, Elder Jing.” Yang Wei replied while feeling grateful that he just learned some more valuable lessons regarding the cultivation world.

“Alright, that’s enough for today’s lecture because the pagoda is going to open soon and many sects have already arrived in the meeting area.” Elder Jing exclaimed.

Afterward, she left her tent, leaving Yang Wei alone to tidy up his clothes as she prepared to gather the rest of the disciples.

Yang Wei didn’t dare to waste any more time as he quickly tidied his clothes before walking out of the tent as he walked toward Lian Xinyue and the rest of the disciples around the center.

At the same time, Yang Wei was dumbfounded to see multiple sects gathering near an area with a solemn expression.

‘Did they all have a massive fight?’

Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he saw some of the middle-aged men had bruises on their faces.
