The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1215 - 636: Focused_2

He wasn't even sure how many attempts he made. A thousand? Ten thousand? Maybe more? Despite the fact that he failed time and again, he was utterly and completely focused on the process.

Time flew by. Five days. Six days. Seven days... Soon, ten days had passed. His observation of the statue was draining his life energy, his body began to feel the effects, but he persisted.

By the nineteenth day, Beihan Lie and another elector were convinced Yan Xiaobao would only last one more day. Once his life energy became weak enough, he would succumb to unconsciousness.

"Ghost Fang requires fifteen days to enter a state of deep enlightenment, he emerged from a daze after twenty-seven days. His later progress had much to do with his Enlightenment Conference with Ghosts Haunt the Night!"

"Yan Xiaobao has wasted nineteen days without achieving deep enlightenment. Regardless of his cultivation base level, he can't compare with Ghost Fang in this situation."

"This statue is completely mysterious and unfathomable. Many have tested it, and if you don't succeed the first time, it becomes even harder. Tomorrow, he will pass out. However, by the time he wakes and recovers his life energy, it will be too late."

Beihan Lie and another Chosen felt the same, as did the four Peak Lords, all sighed regretfully.

Gradually, Bai Xiaochun's nineteenth day of observing the statue passed. As the sun set and the twentieth day dawned, when sunlight filled the sky, nearly everyone believed Yan Xiaobao would lose consciousness. However, as the twentieth day ended and the twenty-first day began, their eyes were filled with shock.

Yan Xiaobao did not fade. Although he looked a bit haggard, he still continued to persist.

Twenty-one days. Twenty-two days. Twenty-three days... As time passed, surprise grew. By the time thirty days had passed, the Peak Lords were completely astonished.

"I can't believe how much significant energy Yan Xiaobao has!"

"At most, ordinary disciples could last ten days. Body-refining disciples might last fifteen. Electors like Ghost Fang could last at most twenty days. If one doesn't enter a state of deep enlightenment, they would waste their life energy and lose consciousness. But Yan Xiaobao... has lasted so long!"

"But what's the point? Even if he lasts longer, if he doesn't achieve deep enlightenment, it will all be wasted."

Beihan Lie and others were completely shocked, finally starting to understand how strong Yan Xiaobao's physical body was. However, they all sighed; without achieving deep enlightenment, merely lasting long has no benefits.

Soon, another ten days passed, and Yan Xiaobao was still completely immersed in his memories. It might be said he made countless actual attempts; perhaps 50,000, maybe 100,000. Each one was a failure.

The fiftieth day passed, then the sixtieth day. Numerous disciples were deeply shocked by Yan Xiaobao's actions. They could hardly believe the enormous energy reserves he possessed. They never expected he would endure this long. Without incredible physical strength, it would be impossible.

Eventually, the seventieth day arrived, and Yan Xiaobao trembled. He was clearly much thinner than before, seeming like his life energy and physical body were reaching their limits.

The gathered audience noticed his trembling and immediately began commenting.

"He must be nearing the end. In just a few days, he'll pass out."

"He never achieved deep enlightenment. What a waste."

Although most of the audience felt this way, as the rosy evening light began to spread...

Yan Xiaobao's eyes revealed... emptiness.

Then, a moment later, his eyes slowly closed!

With his eyes shut, his mind filled with the complete image of the patterns... After countless failed attempts, he finally succeeded!

In the instant the patterns appeared, a thunderous rumble filled his mind, and he gasped for breath. His aura flickered as if leaving nothing but his physical body behind. He had finally slipped into... the legendary state of deep enlightenment!

From that moment, the audience's eyes widened. It was an unexpected development that most could hardly believe.

Yan Xiaobao entered deep enlightenment, not merely by coincidence or fate, but through hard work!

The opportunity concerning the life essence spirit of the Waterswamp Kingdom also brought a degree of enlightenment. Furthermore, his hard work far exceeded anyone else's!

While his comprehension power might not match Ghost Fang's, his work time was five times what Ghost Fang achieved, due to his physical body and his life energy. Thanks to his cultivation in the Immortal Eternal Life Skill, his strength gave him incredible energy reserves! Deep enlightenment is a state where one's soul essentially merges with the heavens and earth, connecting with the world to comprehend and awaken to nature and magic.

An ordinary person might accidentally fall into deep enlightenment, though the chances are extremely small, almost impossible. Even Qi Condensation cultivators find it hard to enter such a state, but if they do, it causes a great sensation among anyone who discovers it.

All-knowing beings with incredible cultivation bases occasionally enter this state, to understand profound changes in the world and the great Daoist teachings of the heavens and earth.

In the last thousand years of the Spiritual Sect, only two people have ever fallen into deep enlightenment. One of them was Ghost Fang, who possesses spectacular talent. Even Shangguan Tianyou could not compare with him in this aspect.

The other successful person now sat beneath the statue, observed for seventy days. Yan Xiaobao!

The surrounding North Shore disciples were breathless at the shocking scene.

"Yan Xiaobao... he... deep enlightenment?!?! Aside from elder Ghost Fang, he's the only one to ever do it!"

"Hmph. How can this deep enlightenment compare with elder ghost? He accomplished it in fifteen days, but Yan Xiaobao took seventy!"

"That's not the way to look at it. It simply means that if we could persist for seventy days, then we could achieve deep enlightenment too. Except we can't! Look at how hard Yan Xiaobao worked!"

Amidst the shocked shouts, voices in the crowd also expressed complex emotions. Some seemed indignant, some jealous, some disdainful. Regardless of specific details, everyone could feel the immense effort Yan Xiaobao put in and how hard he endured. Additionally, all of them were somewhat envious.

Meanwhile, six beams of light appeared in the sky. The fastest among them was not the four Peak Lords from the North Shore, but Li Qinghou from the South Shore!

Almost at the moment when Yan Xiaobao fell into a trance, he appeared. He waved his finger toward the trial platform, and a beam of light descended around Yan Xiaobao, ensuring no one could disturb him.

It was at this moment that the four Peak Lords and the sect leader Zheng Yuandong arrived.

The old woman from the summit of Irispetal Peak looked at Li Qinghou, then at the surrounding crowd. She was surprised by the fact of Yan Xiaobao entering deep enlightenment and roared, "Seal the entire area around the trial platform. Do not open it until Yan Xiaobao awakens."

"If anyone disturbs Bai Xiaochun, it will be considered treason and punished accordingly!" Zheng Yuandong added. "Have the Judicial Hall stand guard here immediately!" In response, the Outer Sect disciples bowed respectfully, hands clasped.

Soon, dozens of disciples from the Judicial Hall arrived and took positions around the statue, sitting cross-legged as Dharma Protectors.

By this time, the word had spread from the Outer Sect disciples. Everyone on the North Shore knew Yan Xiaobao had achieved deep enlightenment. Beihan Lie and another Chosen emerged from their Immortal Caves, shocked, and began hurrying toward the trial platform.

Seeing Yan Xiaobao guarded by the Judicial Hall, they weren't sure what to think.

"He... actually achieved deep enlightenment...?"

"Seventy days! He endured for seventy days!"

"He has no way to surpass us significantly. I refuse to believe it!" Beihan Lie, the Gongsun brothers, Xu Song, and other Inner Sect Voters were filled with unbelievable complex thoughts and feelings.

In mid-air, the four Peak Lords looked down at Yan Xiaobao, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his aura dissipating. All sighed.

"I never thought he would pull it off."

"The kid worked hard for so long. His success was not sheer luck."

"I wonder how many days he will continue in deep enlightenment. Ghost Fang endured for 27 days."

As the Peak Lords sighed, anticipation flickered in Zheng Yuandong's eyes, and he began to laugh heartily. By now, he felt his master would surely be pleased to have a disciple like Yan Xiaobao.

Li Qinghou's face displayed a smile, his eyes shimmering with approval and praise.
