In the other courtyard, An Chengqi looked at Nai Nai Zi in the monitor and asked Sister Sun beside him, “Sister Sun, Enlightenment Jing Qing took eight years, how long do you think it will take Nai Nai Zi?”
Sister Sun smiled, “Madam, it only took you half a year to achieve enlightenment in the first place, so I think that Miss Ito’s enlightenment will only take two or three years at most.”
An Chengqi gently shook her head and said, “Nanako is more talented than me, the time it takes for her to achieve enlightenment must be shorter than mine, perhaps, she can successfully achieve enlightenment within a month.”
Sister Sun asked in surprise, “Madam is so optimistic about Miss Ito?”
An Chengqi nodded and said, “She is more pure than the vast majority of adults in this world, and the purer one is, the easier it is for them to naturally become enlightened.”
At this moment, in the Buddha Hall, Ito Nayoko had already come to sit cross-legged in front of the futon, and then she closed her eyes and skilfully mobilised her true qi and divine sense to enter the realm of internal voyeurism.
Since she had already mastered the entire process of internal voyeurism, Naiko Ito came to that sea of consciousness again with ease.
At this moment, the sea of consciousness was still as before, extremely calm and without any waves.
Ito Nayoko pushed her divine sense upwards continuously, as the height continued to grow, the divine sense was farther and farther away from the sea of consciousness below, and the further upwards, the greater the resistance of the nameless became, she tried her best to reach the highest place, she could no longer hold on, and let her own divine sense begin to fall from the high sky.
At this time, Ito Nayoko, her mind was thinking about how to achieve selflessness, unconsciousness, she tried to control herself, not to let herself think about anything, but the more so, many things instead like a tide of water into their own divine consciousness.
She thought of her childhood, her parents, her first meeting with Ye Chen, and that snowy night in Kyoto ……
Immediately after that, her divine sense gave a violent lurch and rushed into the Sea of Consciousness at once, but the Sea of Consciousness was as if it had been enchanted, and the surface was still without any ripples.
Nai Nai Zi, who was surrounded by the Sea of Consciousness, did not have time to adjust her divine sense before she felt a great force coming towards her from all directions, and immediately after, a huge force began to push herself upstream.
She felt that her divine sense, like a bubble at the bottom of the sea, was being squeezed by the ubiquitous seawater, rushing towards the surface as fast as she could.
Immediately after that, Ito Nayoko’s divine sense leapt out from the surface of the Sea of Sense.
The moment the divine sense was pushed out of the Sea of Consciousness, Ito Nayoko suddenly opened her eyes, panting heavily, and at some point, the entire person was drenched in sweat.
Venerable Jing Qing, who was at the side, spoke, “The cultivator should have been pushed out of the sea of consciousness, right?”
Ito Naiko nodded slightly and said with some fatigue, “Controlling the divine sense to go as high as possible is really very tiring, but I didn’t realise that being pushed out by the Sea of Consciousness was even more torturous, that kind of ubiquitous pressure is suffocating, and the most crucial thing is that the more I try to be egoless, the more I’m biased and will remember a lot of things related to myself . .”
Venerable Jing Qing seriously said, “Enlightenment is indeed as difficult as climbing up to heaven, not only is it difficult to succeed, the process of experiencing and attempting it is also very difficult, back then, the poor monk attempted to be in this state for eight whole years, and I don’t know how many times I failed during those eight years, but the talent of the maker is above that of the poor monk, so I think it won’t take too long.”
Saying that, Venerable Master Jing Qing added: “Fangcai Shi Master’s expression changed several times in just a few seconds when he peeped inside, I think it is because there are too many interferences in what he thinks in his heart, if you want to reach the unconsciousness realm, you must first let yourself have no desires and no demands, otherwise I am afraid that it will be very difficult to succeed.”
Ito Nayoko pursed her lips and spoke, “I want to try again ……”
