Chapter 115 The Unity of Self and Other, the Grandmaster's State of Mind



As Chu Qinghe held the carving knife in his hand and continuously struck the wood on the table, the fluctuations of his internal energy were particularly intense.

Compared to his previous fight with Yaoyue, the fluctuation of his internal energy was at least five times stronger.

Furthermore, there is an indescribable charm about Chu Qinghe.

Noticing Chu Qinghe's current situation, Yaoyue immediately flashed to the side of Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, who were practicing together, and instantly controlled the two of them in place by circulating her true energy.

Furthermore, as his true energy spread, it directly enveloped himself and the two little girls, preventing any movement or sound from escaping.

Throughout the process, Yaoyue even adjusted her own internal energy fluctuations to make them as gentle as possible.

Sensing Yaoyue's unusual behavior, both Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao looked puzzled.

However, when the two women followed Yaoyue's gaze to Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao both sensed something was different.

A few moments later, Qu Feiyan looked at Yaoyue and asked, "Sister Yue, what's wrong with the young master?"

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue said in a deep voice, "He has entered a state of enlightenment."

Upon hearing Yaoyue mention the word "sudden enlightenment," Qu Feiyan's eyes widened.

"Sudden enlightenment?"

When Xiao Zhao looked at Chu Qinghe, a look of surprise also appeared in her eyes.

Yaoyue nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

As she spoke, Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe beside her and couldn't help but exclaim, "Although I already knew that he was extremely talented, I didn't expect it to be this high. He's only at the first-rate level, yet he's already in this state of enlightenment."

The concept of sudden enlightenment originated from Shaolin and refers to a sudden realization.

When a martial artist enters a state of enlightenment, they can enter a state of mind where they "see their true nature and achieve harmony with the universe."

In this state, some martial artists may experience a sudden breakthrough in their cultivation during an epiphany, while others may make progress in their martial arts.

Moreover, the effects far exceed those of ordinary cultivation that takes several months or even years.

In the martial arts world, every martial artist dreams of one day entering a state of enlightenment, thereby greatly increasing their cultivation and strength.

However, generally speaking, such a state of enlightenment usually only exists after a martial artist enters the Innate Realm.

While it's not uncommon for someone like Chu Qinghe to enter a state of enlightenment at the first-rate level, they are extremely rare, though not unheard of, over the past few hundred years.

Even Yaoyue, despite her outstanding talent, has only experienced this enlightenment once in all these years.

Moreover, this occurred when he broke through from the Innate Realm to the Grandmaster Realm.

Hearing what Yaoyue said, Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao, who were standing to the side, understood why Yaoyue had been so anxious to stop them and isolate the surrounding area with her true energy.

After all, sudden enlightenment is a rare and precious thing.

If there is any noticeable noise interference, it might affect this state of enlightenment.

"No, isn't the young master carving wood right now? Can carving wood lead to enlightenment?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Yaoyue explained, "All laws return to their origin. Some martial artists may suddenly see the light after struggling with a bottleneck, while others may have an epiphany when moved by a scene. The timing of their epiphany varies from person to person."

Qu Feiyan, who had just learned something from Yaoyue's explanation, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. When she looked at Chu Qinghe, her eyes were filled with a mixture of amazement and envy.

"I wonder what it will feel like after entering a state of enlightenment."

Being a young girl at heart, she was more curious about the difference between the feeling of entering a state of enlightenment and her usual state than about the effects of enlightenment itself.

However, compared to the three women, if any other woodcarving craftsmen were here and witnessed Chu Qinghe's actions, they would probably be so shocked that their eyes would pop out of their sockets.

Generally speaking, wood carving usually involves four types of carving tools.

One type is the flat-bladed carving knife, characterized by its straight blade. When used properly, it can create a powerful, vivid, and natural effect, much like the brushstrokes in a painting.

The second type is the round-bladed carving knife, characterized by its arc-shaped blade. It is mostly used for round or concave areas, and its flexibility when cutting makes it suitable for carving flowers.

The third type is the beveled engraving knife, with an angled blade, mainly used for carving corners and crevices in artworks.

The fourth type is the Jade Butterfly Chisel, also known as the Butterfly Chisel. Its blade is rounded, and it's a finishing tool that falls between a round chisel and a flat chisel. It comes in two types: rounded and oblique. This chisel is used when a flat or round chisel cannot be used due to a specific carving angle.

In addition to these, several other carving knives, such as the cutting knife, and other corresponding auxiliary tools are needed for a woodcarver to complete a wood carving.

But at this moment, in Chu Qinghe's hands, this flat-bladed carving knife felt like both a round-bladed carving knife and a slanted-bladed carving knife.

As the carving knife in his hand fell continuously, the blade of Chu Qinghe's carving knife sometimes carried the fierceness of splitting a mountain, sometimes the gentleness of plucking a flower, and sometimes the fleeting touch of a dragonfly skimming the water.

His movements were all free and unrestrained, like a top-notch painter, splashing ink and wielding the brush with abandon, as if he had the universe in his heart and his knife was divine.

They've clearly mastered the art of carving with this flat-bladed knife.

The sheer skill with which these flat-bladed carving knives are displayed would likely leave an ordinary carving craftsman questioning his very existence.

Not only that, ordinary woodcarvers need to first draw the pattern, then use ink lines to outline and enlarge it onto the wood, and then process the wood to make a rough shape before carrying out fine carving.

But Chu Qinghe skipped all the previous steps and started carving directly.
