Chapter 65: Enlightenment Glow! A Hundred-Day Improvement Plan! (Please follow)

The meditation cushions were already occupied by people in deep meditation; the spots were mostly filled, with people sitting here and there.

However, the spots at the very front, as well as the ones on the edges of the middle row, were still empty.

Only the top twenty prodigies of the current Immortal Ranking were eligible to ascend to the ninth-level Enlightenment Platform.

With just a glance, Lin Mo spotted several top-tier geniuses who had received significant attention back at the Ascension Platform.

Chen Xuanzhi, first in Jibei Province, Super Spirit Root, admitted by the Heaven-Propping Hall.

Feng Ji, first in Jin'an Province, Lightning Spirit Root, admitted by the Nether Ghost Sect.

Murong Taotao, first in Jinling Province, Water Spirit Root, admitted by the Hundred Flowers Valley.

If they weren't Mutated Spirit Roots, they were Heavenly Spirit Roots, or possessed Innate Sacred Bodies...

Without exception, they were all top-tier immortal seedlings of this generation in Qinzhou.

According to what Brother Feng said earlier, the gold content of this year's Immortal Ranking far exceeded previous ones, ranking among the top few in Qinzhou's immortal examinations within the last hundred years.

In previous years, these immortal seedlings in the top ten of the Immortal Ranking would basically all have had a chance to compete for the position of the Immortal Ranking Top Graduate.

But unfortunately for them, this year they encountered Chu Wange, a monster whose talent and luck were both maxed out.

Quite a few people already in deep meditation turned their heads to look upon hearing the commotion, gazing toward the two.

Upon noticing Lin Mo and Chu Wange, their gazes did not shift away.

Getting a bit nervous... Lin Mo inhaled slightly; he hadn't felt even a shred of nervousness just moments ago while being watched by thousands.

Now, merely feeling the gazes of these dozen or so people, a sense of oppression inexplicably arose in his heart.

But soon, he realized he was overthinking it.

"It's Chu Wange!"

Someone whispered.

Only then did Lin Mo realize that most people's gazes were focused on Chu Wange, and not many had paid him any mind.

*Cough, cough*, I was being sentimental...

Lin Mo felt a small moment of embarrassment in his heart.

By comparison, Chu Wange's expression was much more composed.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she remained as calm and collected as ever, stepped forward to the cushion at the very front, lifted her Daoist robe slightly, and sat down cross-legged.

Her movements were both clean and decisive, and natural, as if that spot at the very front was meant to be hers by birth.

Seeing this scene, some prodigies frowned slightly, some sneered, and some had a flash of undisguised fighting spirit in their eyes...

These people, who had managed to stand out among the millions of immortal examinees this year, were basically all here.

They were exceptionally talented, even the best in their respective provinces, and most had achieved scores above full marks in the Immortal Examination Mystical Realm.

Getting them to truly submit to Chu Wange was probably very difficult.

With Chu Wange attracting the "firepower," Lin Mo silently found his own spot, and no one noticed him.

Don't let the twenty seats fool you; they were arranged in an orderly fashion, divided even more "clearly by rank" than the lower levels of the Enlightenment Platform.

There were a total of four rows of seats.

Chu Wange occupied the top spot alone.

The second to fourth spots formed another row.

The fifth to tenth spots were considered the third row.

The eleventh to twentieth were the fourth row.

Lin Mo sat at the very edge of the third row, sat cross-legged, and looked forward.

He saw the glow coming from far away, slowly breaking through layers of clouds and mist, gradually tilting toward the direction of the Enlightenment Cliff.

At this moment, a voice entered their ears:

"Sit in meditation. The Enlightenment Glow is only available for three hours every day. Use it well; do not waste it."

The person speaking was likely one of the team leaders from the Nine Great Academies.

Upon hearing this, everyone slightly gathered their focus and quickly entered a state of meditation.

Lin Mo was naturally the same, though his eyes remained fixed on the glow filling the sky in the distance.

A moment later, the glow finally broke through all obstacles and poured straight down from the firmament.

The first person to be illuminated was Chu Wange, sitting at the very front.

Immediately after, that beam of glow slowly spread out, reaching the second row, the third row...

Until it completely enveloped the platform at the top of the cliff.

The moment the glow shone upon him, Lin Mo subconsciously closed his eyes, and then his body felt as if it were being shone upon by the early morning sun; a warmth spread from the surface inward, making one feel warm and peaceful.

【Ding! Received the illumination of the Enlightenment Glow, Comprehension +1, Comprehension +1, Comprehension +1...】

The system prompts kept entering his ears, but this was within Lin Mo's expectations.

That's right, the Enlightenment Cliff's 【Enlightenment Glow】 adds to the Comprehension stat!

Of course, this extra Comprehension stat is not permanent; it is temporary.

The reason the Enlightenment Cliff is the holy land for all immortal seedlings aiming for the Foundation Establishment Stage is precisely because of the existence of this 【Enlightenment Glow】.

With the extra Comprehension bonus, the speed of comprehending the 【Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment Technique】 would also be greatly improved.

However, the spots on the Enlightenment Cliff are limited and can only be provided to the current year's immortal examinees.

If one cannot perfect their Dao foundation within a hundred days to impact the Foundation Establishment stage, then afterwards, one can only rely on oneself to cultivate bit by bit, perfecting...

As for the bonus from the Enlightenment Glow, naturally, the better the spot, the more Comprehension bonus one enjoys.

After running his internal cultivation technique for one cycle, Lin Mo's Comprehension bonus finally stabilized at a fixed value—

【Enlightenment Glow Bonus: Comprehension +20】

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Mo's heart; the Comprehension bonus was even more than he had imagined.

Adding 20 points of Comprehension, his Comprehension stat had basically doubled, reaching 40 points.

Of course, even 40 points of Comprehension was still very low for the prodigies beside him, not even worthy of sitting with them.

But for him, it meant another possibility.

Thinking of this, he looked hotly at the panel, at the Merit Points accumulated over three days of seclusion in the immortal boat's guest room—

3700 points!

He thought for a moment, and for the sake of caution, he first mobilized a portion to invest in the 【Five-Spirit Dao Body】 supernatural ability panel.

【Ding! You invested 100 Merit Points into the supernatural ability "Five-Spirit Dao Body", Experience +40 (10*40%)】

Following a pleasant system sound entering his ears, Lin Mo clenched his index finger secretly, his emotions somewhat excited.

Sure enough, as he had expected, although 【Enlightenment Glow】 and 【Heavenly Dao Golden Light】 both belong to temporary buffs, they could still stack with his original cultivation aptitude, improving the utilization rate of Merit Points.

In this way, the "Hundred-Day Improvement Plan" at the Enlightenment Cliff was already determined.

The first priority was naturally the 【Five-Spirit Dao Body】 which could improve cultivation aptitude; once the 【Five-Spirit Dao Body】 was perfected, the increase in cultivation aptitude would also improve the utilization rate of Merit Points.

Improving cultivation at this time was the most cost-effective.

Of course, during the process, he should try to meditate as much as possible to refine the 【True Extreme Flame】 within his body.

Very well, the plan was finalized; now it was time to charge ahead!

He immediately prepared to invest all several thousand Merit Points into the 【Five-Spirit Dao Body】, but noticing that the Enlightenment Platform spots were open, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.

【Ding! You invested 100 Merit Points into the supernatural ability "Five-Spirit Dao Body", Experience +40 (10*40%)】

【Ding! You invested 100 Merit Points into the supernatural ability "Five-Spirit Dao Body"...】

A hundred at a time, this speed of improvement should be considered fast, right?

Lin Mo chuckled inwardly.

But in fact, he was overthinking it.

Because the progress of the top-tier immortal seedlings around him was so fast that even the academy disciples leading the teams behind them were secretly shocked.

Murong Taotao seemed to be covered in a layer of faint water mist, and there was the clear sound of a stream flowing through a mountain ravine coming from her body.

Feng Ji, first in Jin'an Province, had lightning overflowing from his body, and occasionally a clap of thunder would resound, which was very terrifying.

Chen Xuanzhi, second on the Immortal Ranking, was even more exaggerated; a scorching light lit up behind his head, even covering the glow on his body for a short time, looking like a small sun rising when viewed from afar.

As for Chu Wange, who occupied the top spot alone, she was bathed in the glow; although there were no exaggerated visions on her body like the other immortal examinees, every now and then, astonishing sword intent would burst from the surface of her body, as if something was brewing within her...

Compared to them, Lin Mo, whose body occasionally lit up with five-colored light, did not appear that outstanding.

It was just that inadvertently, he had already slowly blended into it... ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
