At this time at the mountain villa, Suzanne watched everything that was happening in the hall on the monitor and snapped angrily, "Ma'am, he's trying to persuade Miss Ito to become a nun! Isn't that out of line?" "Don't worry." Ashley chuckled. "Since Jeevika achieved enlightenment, his heart belongs to Buddha, to the Dharma, and all sentient beings under heaven. Nanako herself has remarkable insight and spiritual roots. Even if it weren't Jeevika, any great Taoist master would likely wish to take her as a disciple. Why do you think I wanted her to be enlightened? Such a talent should not be left standing outside the door—it would be a waste. But knowing Nanako as I do, even if Jeevika were to forcefully persuade her using the world's population, she would never agree. So, you don't need to worry." Sure enough. Nanako unconsciously took a step back and apologized, "I-I already have a lover. How can I become a follower of Buddhism?" Ashley smiled and said, "Have you noticed the

"No matter how much society develops, humans are still humans, and the more society develops, the more the energy of human beings is dispersed. Therefore, the more society develops, the more it can bring out the deepest philosophy of the ancients. That is why the followers of the three major religions have always looked at the scriptures of over two thousand years ago as a beacon on the path of life. Countless people have repeatedly studied the scriptures and works of more than two thousand years ago just to get more inspiration from them." Nanako pursed her lips, looked at her toes, and then looked at Master Jeevika. After a moment of silence, she awkwardly raised her thumb and muttered, "S-Su—go—e." Su—go—e was the pronunciation of sugoi in Japanese, which roughly translated to "Wow, so amazing". Master Jeevika was an excellent scholar before he became a monk. In addition, he had already been enlightened and had traveled for years. It was no exaggeration to say that he was well

Master Jeevika was bewildered by Nanako's consecutive defensive responses. He was not ignorant and knew that this was Nanako's way of rejecting him. While feeling regretful, he reflected, "I saw that she had extraordinary spiritual potential. If she was willing to convert to Buddhism and concentrate on researching the scriptures, she would surely gain a deeper understanding of the teachings, which would benefit all followers. But as it turns out, this was my wishful thinking—" With this thought, he sighed, "Oh, please forgive me. Mrs. Wade asked me to help her achieve enlightenment, and yet I have been entirely focused on persuading her to convert to Buddhism." So, he silently recited a few scriptures and then said, "I'm so sorry for being ignorant. Please forgive me." Nanako gently nodded. "It's alright, as long as you don't try to persuade me to become a nun again." As she spoke, she carefully took a silk pouch from her pocket and asked, "Master, would you still bless and c

Master Jeevika said, "Let me put it another way." Then, he solemnly guided, "When you open your eyes, you are just standing on the earth, looking at the sky before you. When you close your eyes and enter the unconscious realm, the earth will become a globe before you, and everything is within your view and control." Nanako frowned confusedly. "I've figured out a little bit of the introspection method, but... I never had the feeling of closing my eyes and looking at the universe." "Oh?" Master Jeevika exclaimed. "Do you know the introspection method?" Nanako nodded. "I know a little bit, but I'm not sure if it's really it." "Can you tell me how you did it?" Master Jeevika asked. Nanako thought for a moment and said, "I practice martial arts, and by circulating essential qi through all my meridians, it feels as if every meridian in my body is within my view." Master Jeevika shook his head upon hearing this. "This is not the true introspection. What you're describing is a fo

However, at that time, neither Nanako nor Charlie knew what this state of mind meant. Master Jeevika was agitated, even a bit excited. He couldn't help but pace and mutter, "She is a gifted genius! She could find the Sea of Consciousness all by herself! I would never have found a way to enter the Sea of Consciousness if I didn't have a mentor to guide me." At this moment, even Ashley was shocked. She had heard from her subordinates that Nanako's martial arts progression was rapid and that she was a genius, so she thought that Nanako should be the person with Charlie who had the best chance of enlightenment. This was the reason why she had asked Master Jeevika to guide Nanako to enlightenment. But it had never crossed Ashley's mind that Nanako herself was already halfway to enlightenment! Her heartbeat quickened, and she stared at the monitor in astonishment. In the hall, Nanako couldn't understand why Master Jeevika was surprised that she could enter the Sea of Consciousnes

When Nanako thought that she might become the same kind of person as Charlie, she became excited. She looked at Master Jeevika and asked respectfully, "Master, can you please advise me on how to truly attain enlightenment?" As she spoke these words, she felt a deep sense of uncertainty. She believed that in today's society, it was already common to keep something up one's sleeve. Even in ordinary martial arts, no sect or family would reveal their inner teachings to outsiders, let alone such a higher level of cultivation. Despite that, she wanted to give it a try, because she felt that since Master Jeevika had shared so much with her, perhaps he would be willing to tell her a bit more, allowing her to gain greater clarity. Master Jeevika took a deep breath and said, "Miss, you are a gifted genius. I can't sit back and watch your gifts be wasted. Actually, you have essentially found the key to enlightenment, but the only mistake you've made is that after rising to higher realms,

Suzanne answered with a smile, "It took you only six months to attain enlightenment. I think it will take Miss Ito two to three years at the most." Ashley gently shook her head and said, "I beg to differ. Nanako is more talented than me. It might take her less time than it did me. Maybe she can succeed within a month." "Really?" Suzanne gasped in surprise, "You think so highly of her." Ashley nodded. "She is more pure than most adults. The purer a person is, the easier it is for them to attain enlightenment." At this moment, Nanako had come to the futon in the hall and sat cross-legged. Then, she closed her eyes, skillfully mobilized her essential qi and divine sense, and entered the introspection realm. Since she had already mastered the entire process of introspection, she easily returned to the Sea of Consciousness. At this point, the Sea of Consciousness was still as calm as before, without any waves. Nanako pushed her divine sense upward. The higher she went, the far

Master Jeevika didn't think much of it when Nanako said she wanted to try again. Nodding in agreement, he suggested, "If you wish to successfully enter the unconscious realm, relinquishing the seven emotions and six desires is the most reliable approach." Nanako was silent for a moment, murmuring, "What's the point of living if one cuts off all emotions and desires?" Without hesitation, Master Jeevika replied, "Only by eliminating emotions and desires can one have the chance to become enlightened and better serve to guide and save others." Nanako shook her head and replied earnestly, "Forgive me for being blunt, but isn't single-minded devotion to Buddha also a form of attachment? And constantly thinking about saving others—isn't that another form of desire? There's certainly nothing wrong with wanting to guide others, but not everyone is dissatisfied with their current life. If someone lives happily and contentedly, what need is there for someone else to 'save' them?" She cont
