Chapter 466: Shedding the Old Womb, Achieving the Divine Womb

"Is Enlightenment not simple?"

Xuanyang spoke very casually.

"As long as you empty your minds, let your consciousness wander in the mysterious void, and then capture a flash of inspiration, you can enter the Enlightenment State and know the realm of 'I am me,' independent and free."

After hearing Xuanyang's words, everyone looked at each other.

Although this passage sounded like it had some logic to it.

It also felt full of evil nature.

Li Heng shook his head and spoke.

"No, no, what you said is too vague. You must provide a concrete and effective method. Otherwise, how can you expect us to enter the Enlightenment State and understand you?"

Xuanyang frowned.

He originally wanted to scold this group of people, asking if they were idiots.

Was everything he just said difficult to do?

But on second thought, perhaps geniuses like him were rare, and most were mediocre or useless people; it was not incomprehensible that they could not directly enter the Enlightenment State.

Thinking of this, he looked at the crowd with some pity and spoke.

"Fine, fine, fine, I will give you a concrete method."

As soon as his voice fell, a ball of light floated out from Xuanyang's forehead.

"This ball of light is condensed from the power of my consciousness. As long as you touch this ball of light, it can guide your consciousness to wander in the mysterious void and enter the Enlightenment State."

Xuanyang explained.

The crowd frowned; could this even work?

It felt a bit too purposeful and manipulative.

"Besides this, what other methods do you have?"

Li Heng continued to ask.

"This is already the most concise and efficient method. What other method do you want?" Xuanyang retorted, sounding somewhat impatient.

The crowd pondered upon hearing this, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Although in their spiritual sense, this ball of light did not have any aura of danger, and even faintly held some benefits for them. But this very situation was the greatest anomaly!

One must know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

Especially against the backdrop of the True Realm having fallen and the Heavenly Court having shattered, wanting them to believe that this so-called Enlightenment State had no problems was truly a fantasy.

"I will try it first to see what the result is."

Li Heng said with a smile, becoming the first to take the risk.

The crowd was shocked upon hearing this, and the Heavenly King of Guangnan hurriedly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Li, are you sure? You must know..."

It was obvious that the current Xuanyang had already developed problems because of this so-called Enlightenment. And Xuanyang was, at the very least, a top-tier Half-step Divine; yet, he still fell into the trap.

This was enough to show that the waters were very deep and easy to drown in.

"Indeed, perhaps we can deliberate on this further."

Bai Laotou also spoke up to warn him.

"No matter, I know what I am doing."

Li Heng said calmly, incomparably confident.

Xuanyang was originally somewhat annoyed; after all, the words of the Heavenly King of Guangnan and Old Man Bai clearly showed they still did not trust him. However, when he heard Li Heng's confident words, he turned his anger into joy.

"Good, good, good, Fellow Daoist is truly straightforward."

"Unlike certain fellows who are timid and indecisive!"

Xuanyang praised Li Heng, then sneered and looked at the Heavenly King of Guangnan and Old Man Bai with contempt. As for the little golden dragon and Lord Shaoyang further to the side, he ignored them directly.

They were just juniors who could not influence the overall situation.

Li Heng stepped forward to stand before Xuanyang and looked at the ball of light.

Even now, he could not sense any danger from this ball of light, which made him quite curious. Most importantly, he wanted to find traces of the Calamity within it; this was one of the reasons he was willing to risk himself.

Hunting the Calamity to obtain Source Power and Source Points.

That was the motivation for his willingness to come to the True Realm and the Heavenly Court!

Li Heng extended his finger and lightly touched the ball of light; it was like touching the surface of water, causing ripples to spread out in circles, and his consciousness followed, escaping into the Void to wander in the mysterious depths.

A flash of joy crossed Xuanyang's eyes.

It worked!?

Li Heng's consciousness stood in the mysterious Void, observing that all around him was a place of chaos, indescribable. He frowned, feeling puzzled in his heart; was this the so-called Enlightenment State?

Yet he did not feel anything special.

Suddenly, a humming sound arose, the sound rippling through this mysterious place, then continuously echoing and overlapping, never ceasing for a long time, and finally evolving into a syllable.

Li Heng had never learned this syllable, nor had he ever heard it; he only felt it was not the language of living beings and seemed to contain some kind of magic. In the end, as if possessed, Li Heng followed this syllable and spoke.

"I".

He softly uttered the word "I" from his mouth.

Li Heng frowned slightly.

"I"? What does this mean?

As the thought fell, a voice suddenly rang out in Li Heng's mind, and then a strange, mysterious power rose in the Void, sweeping across the entire space and merging into Li Heng's body, coordinating with the suddenly ringing voice, making these sounds have a concrete meaning.

"Suddenly breaking the golden rope, tearing apart the jade lock here..."

"Only today do I know that I am me..."

"My being me, not another, is therefore freedom..."

"People are divided into ego, Super-ego, and id..."

Endless insights surged into his mind, and these insights were all about self-perception, which could help a living being establish a new self, a true self, discard all distracting thoughts, and achieve the Fundamental Great Dao.

Could this actually be a great opportunity?

Is this the Enlightenment State?

Li Heng felt thoughtful, as if he had gained some Enlightenment.

He could perceive that he was constantly undergoing transformation, constantly undergoing sublimation. Then, he could feel that he was also constantly weakening; the old self was passing away, and the new self was being born...

This was clearly the process of shedding the old shell to achieve the Sacred shell!

What a great opportunity!

Li Heng exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, filled with joy and emotion. Is this the Enlightenment State? To realize that I am me, to sublimate the self—he was truly so lucky!

The old self kept passing away, and the new self kept growing stronger.

Li Heng could increasingly feel the weakness of the old self and the strength of the new self. If the old self was just an ordinary mobile phone, then the new self was a quantum computer; their computing power was simply not on the same order of magnitude!

He had confidence.

Once the new self had completely grown and the old self had completely died, he would absolutely be able to transcend and sublimate in an extremely short period of time, advancing to the Sacred Realm!

Embracing these insights, the Sacred shell grew continuously.

Finally, the old self withered; all kinds of essence had turned into nutrients, nourishing the Sacred shell, and it had completely passed away. And the new self, the true self, the Sacred shell descended into the world and was born, radiating immeasurable light, illuminating his own soul, overflowing with emotion.

This was the joy of self-sublimation!

Then, the Sacred shell suddenly felt a gaze looking at him, and his expression immediately turned cold. He looked in the direction of the gaze and was suddenly startled.

Li Heng stood with his hands behind his back in the high reaches of this dark Void, watching the growth of this Sacred shell with a calm expression, and when he saw that this Sacred shell had also noticed him, he smiled slightly.

"So that's how it is; the poison of the self, the Disaster of the self. To realize that I am me, what a truly great opportunity..."

"A great Calamity."

He said with a sigh.
