Chapter 486 - 307: Enlightenment Failed? Emperor Min in Fury! A Treasure That Deterrents the National Guardian Realm!

"Indeed, being recognized by the Golden List can repeatedly allow the Golden Pillar to descend, but enlightenment only happens once, because the potential is already depleted."

Depleted potential?

Chu Ming’s expression remained unchanged.

"Yes, potential." Ji Wujiang continued, "So-called potential is both innate and accumulated after birth."

"One enlightenment exhausts both."

"After that, it requires a long accumulation to gather potential comparable to the innate in order to potentially experience enlightenment again."

"But how difficult is post-birth accumulation. Without extraordinary opportunities, it’s almost impossible to accumulate potential for a second enlightenment."

"Enlightenment is not a rootless floating duckweed; it is the opportunity, with insight into innate potential and post-birth accumulation."

Chu Ming pondered in thought.

Innate potential, post-birth accumulation.

The four great lakes of the Sea of Consciousness should count as post-birth accumulation, a kind that never dissipates.

Coupled with abilities like ’integration’ and ’inference’, the four great lakes are constantly transforming automatically.

My advantage lies here.

Therefore, entering so-called enlightenment is not difficult for me.

"Anyway, remember, this year focus primarily on cultivation, but don’t neglect poetry as well. The more you accumulate, the better the effect of enlightenment."

"Additionally, I will secretly have a late-stage Bone Marrow Cleansing Astronomical Bureau master to protect you."

"Late-stage Bone Marrow Cleansing?"

"Yes, it is Luoyu Jin, the Great Elder of the Luoyu Race."

"You do know that only martial artists who have cultivated to my realm can soar through the air?"

Chu Ming nodded.

Martial artists who cultivate to the Sea of Qi realm obtain the ability to stride in the sky.

"Although Luoyu Jin is only late-stage Bone Marrow Cleansing, he can also achieve soaring through the air."

"Luoyu Race’s treasure?" Chu Ming asked.

"Yes, precisely the Luoyu Race’s treasure." Ji Wujiang nodded, "Among the second-class Profound Treasures, the Luoyu Race’s treasure is extremely precious, its special soaring ability comparable to a first-class Profound Treasure."

"With him here, along with the treasure I gave you, unless you encounter those old things, you won’t be in much danger."

"But nothing is absolute; this time, your recognition by the Golden List will undoubtedly cause great waves, those old things won’t just stand by and watch the Qin Dynasty add another National Guardian Realm."

"So, unless necessary, try to remain in Qin Capital, with me overseeing, they won’t risk themselves, at most sending some Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm individuals."

"Thank you, Master Ancestor."

"Hmm."

"..."

...

Imperial City, Eastern Palace.

"Your Highness, Attendant Reader Chu has left the palace." Lu Ji hastily reported.

"Left the palace?" The Crown Prince’s expression changed, "Quick, quickly invite him back."

"Yes."

"Wait!" The Crown Prince suddenly became urgent again, "Prepare the carriage, prepare the gifts, I will personally go to congratulate Attendant Reader Chu."

"Big brother, I’m going too." The Seventh Prince followed up.

"Big brother..." The Fifth Prince interrupted, "Attendant Reader Chu’s enlightenment time was too short, previously when Luu Xi suddenly entered the Golden Pillar, could it be..."

As the words fell, the hall became extremely silent.

"Fifth brother, what do you mean?" The Seventh Prince frowned.

"Big brother, Seventh brother, I worry that Attendant Reader Chu’s Golden List enlightenment time was so short because Luu Xi disrupted the enlightenment."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince immediately calmed down.

"General Lu."

"I am here, Your Highness."

"Go find out the truth."

"Yes."

"Big brother, you’re not going?" The Seventh Prince looked towards the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince remained silent, looking at the Fifth Prince.

"Seventh brother, you and I shall go." The Fifth Prince understood the meaning.

The Crown Prince means for him and the Seventh brother to go to Chu Mansion and explore whether the Golden List enlightenment did indeed fail.

...

Imperial City, Western Palace, Chengqian Hall.

The Second Prince appeared downcast, the Third Prince sat on his right side.

"Third brother, what do you think caused the Golden Pillar to disappear so quickly?"

"...Second brother, perhaps it’s related to that Luu Xi’s sudden intrusion."

"You suspect the Golden List enlightenment was disrupted?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain it? Historical records indicate that Golden List sage enlightenment lasts at least a month."

"...Indeed."

"Second brother, I will inquire further."

"Alright."

"..."

The Third Prince left, and the Second Prince entered a secret chamber.

"What is it?" Ming Yu’s voice was icy cold.

"Master, today there was a Golden List recognition." The Second Prince respectfully said.

"Oh?" Ming Yu’s gaze sharpened, "Who is it?"

"A commoner family." The Second Prince’s expression showed mockery.

"A commoner family?" Ming Yu glanced at the Second Prince’s demeanor and asked again, "Judging by your expression, it seems something else happened?"

"Master, that commoner did receive Golden List recognition, but... it was disrupted."

"Disrupted?"

"Yes, someone intruded into the Golden Pillar, causing the Golden List to retract the Golden Pillar, the enlightenment only lasted a little over two hours."

"Intruded into the Enlightenment Golden Pillar? Ended in two hours?" Ming Yu raised his brows, "How did the two react?"

"The King of Border originally guarded outside the Golden Pillar. When the Golden Pillar disappeared, the commoner took it upon themselves to leave the palace. Both the King of Border and the ancestor did not reappear."

"Go find out clearly."

"Yes."

"..."

...

Imperial City, Wenlin Garden.

Tang Bai had just entered the garden when two people approached.

"Master Tang, Junior Sister Pei and I just saw the Golden Pillar. Was that Golden List recognition?" Qi Chen asked in surprise.

"Yes, Golden List recognition." Tang Bai answered absentmindedly.

Golden List recognition?!

Qi Chen and Pei Yi exchanged complex looks.

"Master Tang, was it... Senior Brother Luu?" Pei Yi bit her silver tooth lightly and asked what was on her mind.

They believed it was Luu Xi who received the Golden List recognition.

"Luu Xi?" Hearing the name, Tang Bai suddenly paused, "He indeed entered the Golden Pillar."

The words fell.

Qi Chen and Pei Yi’s expressions changed drastically.

Luu Xi is narrow-minded, and they don’t get along with him.

If he received Golden List recognition, their days would be bleak, perhaps even implicating their families.

But then.

"But he is dead." Tang Bai showed a furious expression.

Dead? Who died?

"Luu Xi is dead; this child was too narrow-minded!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"Master Tang...?"

Qi Chen and Pei Yi stared blankly at the enraged Tang Bai, filled with confusion in their hearts.
