Open up and break into another world

Ao Wanya's eyes widened instantly.

“It was clearly here; there's no way he could have slipped away right under my nose!”

But the question was, where was Xu Ming?

Ao Wanya's spiritual power spread out like a spider web, instantly covering a hundred-mile radius. Even underground, he could not escape his detection.

However!

Xu Ming was nowhere to be found!

“This is impossible!” Ao Wanya refused to believe it.

Let alone Xu Ming, even a Spirit Realm Perfect expert would find it extremely difficult to escape from his grasp! Like Yu Mo and the other four experts, if it weren't for the obstacle of the trapping formation, they would have likely lost one or two of their own today.

Xu Ming wanted to slip away silently from Ao Wanya's grasp?

Impossible!

It was as if Xu Ming had suddenly evaporated.

“Where is he? Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?” Ao Wanya was completely dumbfounded because he simply couldn't understand the situation.

In a state of "Absolute Stealth," Xu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief.

“Absolute Stealth is indeed useful! This Ao Wanya really can't detect my existence!”

Now, Xu Ming was finally free from the danger to his life.

“This Ao Wanya's strength is just too strong!” Xu Ming was still somewhat apprehensive. “In front of him, I'm just an ant, with no power to resist at all!”

Xu Ming's current feeling was like a Body Refinement martial artist encountering a Core Formation expert who wanted to kill him—how could he resist?

“However…”

Xu Ming certainly wouldn't be scared out of his wits: “This Ao Wanya is a Spirit Realm Perfect expert, and I heard he's about to break through to a higher realm! — Hmph, I can already match a Spirit Realm Intermediate expert; reaching his level, or even surpassing him, isn't such a distant matter!”

But Xu Ming also knew that he probably had to endure for a while.

Within the Spirit Realm, the difference in strength is extremely large.

Just like the Mortal Realm, which includes the four major realms of Body Refinement, Inner Refinement, Acquired, and Core Formation. Although the realm divisions within the Spirit Realm aren't as detailed as in the Mortal Realm, the gap between the early stage of the Spirit Realm and the Perfect stage is no smaller than the gap between Body Refinement and Core Formation!

“Hehe, this idiot is still searching so vigorously!” Xu Ming chuckled to himself.

Xu Ming saw Ao Wanya running around like a headless fly, searching here and there in disbelief, but he couldn't find anything.

There was even one time when Ao Wanya passed through Xu Ming's body, but he still didn't discover Xu Ming.

After searching back and forth several times, Ao Wanya seemed to have really given up. He sighed heavily, shook his head, and flew away, full of unwillingness.

“He's gone!” Xu Ming's eyes lit up.

Ao Wanya was gone, so he was safe.

Just as Xu Ming was about to come out of the state of Absolute Stealth, a warning suddenly arose in his heart: “Could this Ao Wanya not have really left, but is hiding in some corner secretly spying on me here?”

Xu Ming's strength was too weak compared to Ao Wanya's, so even if he was being spied on, he would probably find it difficult to detect.

“I can't go out now; I'll wait a little longer!”

Xu Ming's caution was correct.

Sure enough, after a while, Ao Wanya came back again.

The returning Ao Wanya still couldn't find Xu Ming, so he had to shake his head again and fly away again.

“It should be safe now, right?”

But Xu Ming still didn't dare to come out.

“Now, Ao Wanya can't be sure whether I'm still here, so even if he's hiding nearby to lie in wait, he won't lie in wait for too long. However, if I'm discovered by him here, then he'll probably lie in wait for me to the death—better safe than sorry! I just won't show my face! I want to see whose patience is better!”

Xu Ming made up his mind!

Don't go out!

Just don't go out!

Even if Ao Wanya has really left now, he won't go out!

“It's too boring to just sit here, why not… first find a way to improve my strength a bit!”

Xu Ming pondered the new functions of the cheat: “This Enlightenment Mode seems to be specially designed for cultivation! Once it's activated, comprehending the Intent will enter a state of enlightenment!”

“How about… trying it?”

Xu Ming hasn't mastered any Intent yet!

Before the upgrade of the cheat, Xu Ming could borrow some Intent by relying on Super Perfect Combat. Now that the cheat has been upgraded, the Intent Xu Ming borrowed has been removed, and the new version of Super Perfect Combat has a different effect, so Xu Ming can no longer borrow Intent.

What to do if you can't borrow it?

Then comprehend it yourself!

Xu Ming looked at the cheat coefficient of the Enlightenment Mode: “Cheat coefficient of 1000? — Damn, it's really expensive to activate Enlightenment once!”

Xu Ming's "theoretical cheat points" for offline hanging up for one day are thirty 3rd-level cheat points. With a cheat coefficient of 1000, that means it costs him 30,000 3rd-level cheat points to activate Enlightenment once!

Activating it once will cost Xu Ming one percent of his 3rd-level cheat points!

“Activate it!” Xu Ming wasn't stingy at all.

Cheat points are best used to exchange for strength!

“By the way, Little Cheat, if the time for my Stealth Hanging Up is up, and I'm still in Enlightenment, help me automatically renew it!”

At the same time, "Enlightenment Mode" was activated.

Xu Ming suddenly felt that his mind had become incomparably clear. Even before he had time to calm down and comprehend, all kinds of mysteries about Intent began to emerge in his mind.

“Is this the state of Enlightenment? Damn, how fast would it be to comprehend Intent in this state!”

Without thinking too much, Xu Ming plunged headlong into the comprehension of Intent, frantically absorbing all kinds of insights. Every moment, Xu Ming would have some understanding.

“This is… Profound Intent? Is it an Intent related to gravity?”

“Eh — is this ‘Swift Intent’? Is it an Intent related to speed?”

…

Profound Intent and Swift Intent were both Intents that Xu Ming had borrowed when he activated Super Perfect Combat before. Because he had personally experienced them once, Xu Ming now comprehended them as if he were an experienced driver on the road, familiar with the route.

Half an hour later…

“I finally comprehended the first trace of Intent!”

The first trace of Intent that Xu Ming truly comprehended and mastered was not Profound Intent, nor Swift Intent, but Scorching Intent.

“This Intent is really difficult to comprehend! It actually took me half an hour to comprehend a trace of it!”

If other martial artists heard Xu Ming's words, they would wonder if they would be so angry that they would want to slap him to death with a brick—half an hour to comprehend a trace of Intent, and you still think it's difficult? Damn, I haven't comprehended a trace of it in half my life, is there no need for me to live on?

You must know that the vast majority of Core Formation martial artists will never comprehend a trace of Intent in their entire lives!

The shackles between the Mortal Realm and the Spirit Realm are not so easily broken through!

Even someone as talented as Gu Kongshan had cultivated for most of his life, and then saw Xu Ming's battle before gaining enlightenment, turning decades of accumulated comprehension into a trace of Intent.

But now, Xu Ming spent half an hour to comprehend a trace of Intent, and he still thinks it's slow?

Each of the nine categories of Intent had a trace of Intent that Xu Ming had used before, so they were particularly easy to comprehend.

After comprehending Scorching Intent, Xu Ming successively comprehended the other eight Intents, such as Wave Intent, Profound Intent, and Swift Intent.

A day later, when the state of Enlightenment disappeared, Xu Ming had also just comprehended all nine traces of Intent that he had used! — From now on, these nine traces of Intent truly belonged to Xu Ming's comprehension, and were no longer "borrowed" as before.
