Surprisingly, Liu Mei didn’t even seem to have noticed Shun Long’s appearance at this moment, and instead, she sat down on the ground in a lotus position as her body began to circulate the ‘Blood Absorption art’ almost automatically.

It was almost as if her senses had all been cut off after hearing Little Black’s voice inside her head, before her body instantly began to circulate the ‘Blood Absorption art’ on its own.

Meanwhile, Shun Long was briefly taken aback after noticing Liu Mei’s ‘strange’ situation, before his lips soon curved into a rare, radiant smile, as he immediately realized what was going on.

It was obvious that Liu Mei had somehow entered a state of complete enlightenment, as her body had now shut off all her senses and was focused solely on sensing the spiritual qi in the air around her.

Of course, Shun Long wasn’t the only one who was taken aback by the unexpected scene in front of him. Inside the foggy space in the ‘Stone of Time’, Little Black’s deep azure eyes shone with a momentary glint of surprise, before the black dragon muttered to himself

”Although her talent may not be as good as those 3 brats, her luck and comprehension ability are both top-tier…”

This time, Little Black’s words even carried a rare hint of praise, as the black dragon gazed at the meditating Liu Mei who was now absorbing the pure immortal qi in the air around her at a terrifying rate!

Of course, Little Black’s surprise was only natural given the current situation.

After all, entering a state of true enlightenment like this was actually an extremely rare case for any cultivator, and would always be regarded as a top-tier fortuitous opportunity.

Whether this was in the Central Continent or even in the limitlessly vast ‘Immortal Dimension’ where true immortals reigned supreme, Little Black knew, that entering a state of complete enlightenment wasn’t something that could be sought after, regardless of one’s cultivation base, and could only be chanced upon.

Both the cultivator’s mind and body needed to be fully focused on a single goal by the time they reached enlightenment, while paying absolutely no heed to anything else.

This was what it truly meant for a cultivator to completely rid themselves of any distracting thoughts and focus entirely on their Dao.

This was also the reason why, the vast majority of cultivators in the world often chose to enter seclusion when they were about to attempt a breakthrough in their cultivation. It was all for the sake of riding themselves from any distracting thoughts and focus fully on their breakthrough.

As time continued to pass, Liu Mei gradually absorbed more and more of the immortal qi the ‘Heaven Swallowing vine’ produced, and mere moments later, she had even ended up alerting Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian, and Xingyi, who were quietly cultivating just a few dozen meters away from her.

Bai Longtian’s handsome features were the first ones to contort the moment he sensed the disturbance in the distance ahead of him, before a look of undisguised shock gradually crept up on his face as he turned his head in Liu Mei’s direction!

Xingyi and Jiang Chen opened their eyes as well, barely a moment after Bai Longtian, but before any of them could speak, Shun Long hurriedly waved his right hand, before a thin, translucent qi barrier was formed around Liu Mei, completely isolating her from everyone around her.

Of course, it didn’t take long for Jiang Chen and the others to realize what was going on and tell that Liu Mei had somehow entered an extremely miraculous state, where she was now absorbing the immortal qi from the ‘Heaven Swallowing vine’ at a terrifying rate… but they still had a hard time believing the scene in front of their very own eyes!

After all, Jiang Chen and the others all knew, that Liu Mei was normally cultivating what would be considered an ‘evil cultivation technique’ in the outside world, where she would absorb the qi from the enemies she killed directly.

Unlike the vast majority of cultivators in the world, Liu Mei would never sit down and meditate to absorb the spiritual qi in the air around her, and would directly purify all the qi she had previously absorbed instead.

Naturally, Bai Longtian, Jiang Chen, and Xingyi were all aware, that although Liu Mei’s cultivation technique gave her an overwhelming advantage in terms of cultivation speed compared to everyone else, it was also extremely dangerous as well.

After all, just like any other ‘evil cultivator’, Liu Mei had to be wary of her mental state at all times and properly ward off all outside influences, regardless of how small and insignificant they may be, or she would risk falling into qi deviation during any of her breakthroughs.

In fact, if it wasn’t for how compatible the ‘Blood Absorption art’ was with her Dao of Death, Jiang Chen and the others were practically certain, that Liu Mei would have most likely changed to a different cultivation technique a long time ago, even if it meant that her cultivation speed became far lower than it currently was.

Nevertheless, one thing was for certain; Liu Mei’s current state right now was way out of the ordinary!

After all, evil cultivation techniques were known for utilizing numerous unorthodox methods instead of cultivating normally, regardless of how cruel those methods may be.

Whether that involved killing other cultivators and refining their souls directly, torturing them alive until their minds broke and their bodies gave way, or even hacking them into pieces and using various secret methods to extract their cultivation bit by bit, all of these were methods that most evil cultivators would normally use without batting an eye!

In comparison, Liu Mei’s ‘Blood Absorption art’ wasn’t overly cruel, but it surely was tyrannical!

Still, Jiang Chen and the others had never heard of any ‘evil cultivation technique’ that allowed its user to absorb the spiritual qi in the air, the same way normal cultivators did. This was one of the core fundamental differences between orthodox and evil cultivation techniques in the first place.

This was also why Jiang Chen and the others were so taken aback by the scene in front of them!

Besides, regardless of how miraculous Liu Mei’s ‘Blood Absorption art’ may be, it shouldn’t be this heaven-defying, to the point where it could create such a massive commotion simply when Liu Mei was absorbing the spiritual qi in the air around her!

After all, Jiang Chen and the others could tell, that the rate at which Liu Mei was currently absorbing pure qi right now, was in no way inferior to their own when they were going all-out earlier. No, in fact, it was far beyond that!

At this point, Liu Mei was already absorbing nearly 70 percent of the pure immortal qi in the air, and it didn’t look like she was going to slow down anytime soon.

A few moments later, Shun Long gradually turned his focus away from the cultivating Liu Mei and looked at the distant Bai Longtian and the others, before he said with a smile

”It’s been a while! Jiang Chen, Longtian… Let’s spar!”

Surprisingly, Liu Mei didn’t even seem to have noticed Shun Long’s appearance at this moment, and instead, she sat down on the ground in a lotus position as her body began to circulate the ‘Blood Absorption art’ almost automatically.
