I've already become an immortal, and the global cultivation world is only just beginning?

Chapter 10 Re-entering the Enlightenment Arena

"Phew...it's finally all set up..."

It was past 9:30 at night.

Jiang Heng also arranged cat litter, cat beds, and other items in a corner of the living room.

"Meow..."

While Jiang Heng was working, Little Coal Ball cautiously sniffed and grabbed at everything in the small living room, curious about everything.

Neither the person nor the cat was idle.

"Come on, let's see your home."

Jiang Heng walked to the sofa, picked up the kitten that was curled up in the corner, ignored its struggles, and forcibly put it into the cat bed of the 'Nine Nether Profound Evil Gathering Yin Array'.

"Meow~" After the kitten arrived at its little nest, it crouched down, its little head turning around in its new home, its eyes full of confusion.

The Yin Sha Black Wind Cat has returned to its lair, its origins are stable, its demonic energy is contained, and the evil energy in the world is temporarily calmed.

"Stay put."

Jiang Heng squatted in front of the cat's nest and rubbed the little coal ball's fluffy head with his palm.

"It's still early, Father wants to go out and travel again to see if he can seize some more opportunities."

Although the kitten couldn't understand, Jiang Heng felt that as a father, he still needed to explain.

"Lulu..." Little Coal Ball's eyes looked at Jiang Heng, which could be considered as a response.

Now that the 'demon pet' has been settled and its affairs have been explained,

Jiang Heng checked his phone; it was 9:40.

Qianda Plaza closes at 10 PM, so there's still some time left.

"Let's go take a look over there..."

Jiang Heng has now achieved some minor success in his cultivation, so he doesn't feel tired at all.

This excess energy also drove Jiang Heng to try his luck.

However, just as he opened the door and stepped outside...

As soon as the door closed.

"Meow—! Meow—!"

In the quiet rented room, the pitiful and aggrieved meows of a kitten suddenly rang out.

What happened?

Jiang Heng's heart clenched instantly, and he opened the door.

Little Coal Ball had already crawled out of the cat's bed and was clinging to the edge of the door, its small body curled up, its big eyes fixed on him.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

Jiang Heng seemed to see unease and reluctance in those eyes.

[The Yin Sha Black Wind Cat sensed its master's aura fading and its own demonic power becoming unstable, so it used its supernatural ability, "Soul-Shattering Sound." Those with weak resolve may lose their composure on the spot.]

Jiang Heng glanced at the prompts on the panel, then at the little coal ball whose pitiful cries were heartbreaking.

To be honest, after hearing the scream just now, Jiang Heng also felt heartache and reluctance.

"Sweetie, stop calling, I'll be right back..."

Jiang Heng squatted down and patted its little head.

"Meow—meow—"

Jiang Heng was met with an even more heart-wrenching scream.

Even the little coal ball started pawing at Jiang Heng's trouser leg, as if it wanted to cling to him.

Jiang Heng was instantly at a loss when he saw this situation.

This was his first time owning a cat, and he really didn't know what it was all about.

But I also know that this should be some kind of 'separation anxiety'.

"What should we do? Should we take it with us?"

Jiang Heng didn't know if cats were allowed in the mall. He had never thought about this kind of question before, nor had he paid close attention to whether anyone in the mall had brought a pet.

Search it.

Jiang Heng originally wanted to search for answers online, but suddenly thought of Xu Xiaowei, the sect leader of the "Cute Beast Taming Sect".

"There may be many things to do in the future, and I won't be able to carry it with me all the time..."

Jiang Heng clicked on the WeChat profile picture of "Xiao Wei - Pet Paradise".

"At least when I go to work at the sect, I can't bring my cat."

The problem of separation anxiety needs to be addressed at its root.

Type quickly and send messages.

(Jiang Heng: Mr. Xu, I'm the customer from earlier. My kitten, I just put it in its bed and was about to go out when it started meowing, really pitifully. What should I do?)

The message has been sent.

Jiang Heng watched the kitten circling around his feet while keeping his eyes glued to the screen.

About a minute later, the phone vibrated.

(Xiao Wei - Pet Paradise: Oh dear, this is a classic case of separation anxiety! The baby is so small, it sees you as its only support, it's bound to be scared when you leave its sight! [Pat head.JPG])

(Jiang Heng: What should I do? I'm also very distressed, but I have to go out.)

(Xiao Wei - Pet Paradise: Did you soften your heart and go back to hug it?)

I'm telling you, this won't work.

If you go back and hug it, it will know that its barking is effective, and it will bark even louder next time, making you feel even more sorry for it.

What you need to do is harden your heart and just leave!

But remember to close the door frame and feed it well.

After it realizes that calling out for a while is useless, it will start playing by itself.

Don't worry, kittens are very adaptable! [Go for it! JPG]

You urgently sent a message to Xu Xiaowei, the sect leader of the "Cute Beast Taming Sect," requesting assistance.

[Master Xu, with his keen insight, saw through the Yin Sha Black Wind Cat's "Heavenly Demon Bewitching Mind" at a glance.]

【"Heavenly Demon Bewitching Mind" is one of the supernatural tricks of "Yin Sha Black Wind Cat", intended to disrupt your Dao heart and hinder your path to immortality】

Fortunately, Sect Master Xu imparted to me the supreme "True Technique of Beast Taming"—the "Heart of Stone" method, which is the only way to sever karmic ties and solidify the master-servant contract.

After reading the panel prompts, Jiang Heng found that apart from the somewhat abstract description, this trick seemed to be quite effective.

then.

Jiang Heng took a deep breath and said ruthlessly to the little coal ball that was still spinning around, "Stop messing around. Sect Master Xu said that this is 'Heavenly Demon Bewitching Heart'."

But Dad really has something to do; he'll spend a lot of time with you when he gets back.

After saying that, Jiang Heng first put the kitten into its nest, then took a few quick steps, suddenly opened the door, and slammed it shut amidst an even louder "meow—" sound.

It slightly blocked out the heartbreaking cries.

Jiang Heng's heart was pounding as he quickly descended the stairs.

[With an iron will and unwavering resolve, you withstood the "Heavenly Demon's Bewitching Heart" attack from the "Yin Sha Black Wind Cat" with supreme will.]

Come downstairs.

Jiang Heng heard faint meows coming from the third floor, and he still couldn't bear to leave.

Only when the sound gradually weakened and did not become more mournful did Jiang Heng suppress the urge to go back, and with a heavy heart, he put one hand in his pocket, gripped the spirit stone, and strode quickly towards the street outside.

……

The ride-hailing car stopped at the entrance of Qianda Plaza.

Jiang Heng opened the car door and saw that the city was still bustling and humid at night.

But today's fatigue is different from the fatigue I felt when I left work last night.

Even after getting off the bus, Jiang Heng, still with one hand in his pocket, looked radiant.

"Spiritual energy is indeed a wonderful thing. I have only cultivated for one day, and I am completely different from before."

The flow of spiritual energy within my dantian not only dispelled the sweltering heat of the summer night but also brought about a steady increase in my physical strength…

As Jiang Heng experienced the noticeable changes, he walked towards the main entrance of the square.

And this time, Jiang Heng deliberately chose the area below the air conditioner vent he had passed by last night.

However, when Jiang Heng looked towards the vent from which the cold wind was blowing, he did not see any "Enlightenment" tasks.

You step into the "Thousand Enlightenment Hall" once more, with reverence and anticipation, wishing to listen to the "Air Conditioning Veteran" preach and comprehend the supreme rules of water's transformation.

However, the "air conditioning veteran" preaches as he pleases, not every day.

Although the temple is open today, and the "Air Conditioner Senior" has appeared, the rules are ever-changing, so there is no opportunity for "preaching" or "enlightenment."

Jiang Heng knew from these few lines of text that the mission was random.

Just like in the real world of cultivation, opportunities don't come every day.

Fortunately, Jiang Heng was quite open-minded and quickly overcame his disappointment.

However, despite his resentment, Jiang Heng sat on the chair next to him for a while.

Until the announcement came over the loudspeaker that the mall was closing.

You sat in meditation at the enlightenment site for a while, but to no avail.

At the same time, Jiang Heng also stood up from the bench after seeing the prompt.

"Looks like it's not going to work out today..."

Jiang Heng looked at the previous prompts on the panel again.

"But the panel indicates that this is the 'Enlightenment Ground' and says 'No opportunity today'..."

This proves... there's still hope for the 'future'.

Jiang Heng thought to himself, then looked up one last time at the closed air conditioner vent, silently thanking the abstract 'air conditioner senior' in his heart.

The "air conditioner veteran" has not responded to you.

"..." Jiang Heng paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

"If they respond, then there's really a problem..."

Jiang Heng shook his head and smiled inwardly, all the frustration of not getting the opportunity today was dispelled.

But just as they were about to leave, a familiar voice, filled with surprise, rang out from afar.

"Hey? That guy?! It really is you!"
