Chapter 6—Enlightenment.
Mu Chen slowly walked through the 73rd street, taking in the view, stepping on the blue coloured smooth marble street road—rank 3 blue stone.
The high rise pavilions, wide courtyards had been decorated with lamps in style, illuminating the street.
The trees grew high in their gardens with some petals falling loose, some of the petals just brushed past him as he walked through, making him smile.
The spring had just begun, making the view memorable as some falling petals were pink.
'What a view!' He felt his heart touched looking at the pink petal, which fell on his shoulder.
He had seen this kind of view every year, but he felt different this time, as it had been ten years since he had felt his heart relaxed.
He was very relaxed as he decided to go all out from the moment his marriage contract breaks, as it is where his luck actually starts with ancient being in ring finally showing up according to novels.
'It is from what angle you see and how you see, makes the difference.' Mu Chen remembered that one's vision changes the outlook.
The shining white light on him got stronger as his steps got slower. He stopped involuntarily as light on him reached its peak, covering his entire body with radiance.
The light wasn't bright enough to blind eyes, but a comfortable and relaxing soft low intensity light.
"He is getting enlightenment?"
"What? Enlightenment!"
"Wait? Isn't he Trash Mu?"
"…"
He wasn't the only one walking through the memorizing street, many people were going to their dwellings or relatives' courtyards.
Mu Chen was quite famous as trash in Xi city, almost everyone used him as bad example.
"Damnit, he is not worthy of enlightenment!" A bald man in his thirties shouted with a pissed look, as he rushed to break Mu Chen's enlightenment!
He was very jealous, he felt that only he or someone more talent than him could get enlightenment but Mu Chen… He is not worthy!
Crack!
Bald man flew back, faster than he lunged forward and crashed into a courtyard wall, as a young man in tight leather armour walked out and shouted, "Don't make trouble in street."
Bald man was pulled up by his friend, as he was spitting out blood along with his few broken teeth. His face was disfigured as his right side of face was swollen to an outrageous degree.
He was carried away!
"It is city guard-Xi Bai."
"I heard that he is very strict."
"…"
People murmured with each other, seeing the heroic young man.
"Don't make trouble." Xi Bai shouted, silencing everyone. "Get back to your houses." His presence caused the problem to be nipped in the bud!
Mu Chen didn't know what was going on outside as he felt his emotions smoothened and his mind wandered as his understanding of lifeincreased.
Xi Bai was looking on with disbelief, as he felt unreal. A young man was glowing like a divine being under falling petals.
Some petals were falling on the divine being and behind him, increasing the beauty as if nature was bowing in his presence!
After an hour, Mu Chen opened his eyes. 'I didn't expect to fall into enlightenment and comprehend my second domain.' He grinned, feeling incredibly lucky as it would have taken him ten to fifteen years and that too in the best mental condition to comprehend another domain.
'Looks like my Dao-heart is also tempered a little. I knew it, my status as child of destiny is beginning.' He took a deep breath, grinning with joy.
"Mu Chen, what did you gain? I heard that enlightenment is very rare, only genius among genius attain them. A single enlightenment can save hundred or thousand years of cultivation or so I have read, is that true?" A young man with short black hair, with slightly handsome face in tight red leather armour asked, looking anxious, not for Mu Chen but about enlightenment.
It was his first time to see someone attain enlightenment. Xi Bai wanted to confirm the effects of enlightenment for himself.
Mu Chen took a glance around him, he was surrounded by city guards in tight leather armour, they were stopping rushing people as crowd shouted, "I just want to see what enlightenment looks like..."
"Just one look, pretty please, only one look."
"…"
Someone had spread the news that a practitioner was getting enlightenment in the street, making them rush over to get a look and ask for advice.
"Okay, the effects are good. I have comprehended domain." Mu Chen said nonchalantly, to repay Xi Bai for protecting him.
"Domain? What is that?" Xi Bai asked, in doubt.
"I also don't know." Mu Chen said, removing fallen petals from his hair and continued "I read in book that zero is intent, first is meaning, second is heart,and third is domain."
"I know about intent and meaning, but rest…which book is it?" Xi Bai asked, feeling excited that he had found a treasure.
In the cultivation world, knowledge about high levels was severely controlled, hearing something extraordinary and new made him excited.
"Hmm.. I forgot." Mu Chen said seriously, there was no hint of a lie on his face.
He read it in book thrown out by ancient being in ring, which only mentioned names, nothing more.
"Okay." Xi Bai looked pale, as he understood that Mu Chen was lying, but knowledge was controlled, and would not be given for free, so he couldn't say anything.
"If you don't mind, I will leave." Mu Chen said, walking away he didn't know how late he was.
He had to rush to Mu Courtyard.
"Wait, here wear this." Xi Bai handed him a leather armour, taking it out from his storage ring, while pointing over to excited crowd.
He wanted to ask for advice on how to enter the enlightenment state, but noticing that Mu Chen was rushing somewhere, he can only let him go.
Mu Chen's eye jerked as crowd was not stopping at all, he quickly wore the red leather armour and left without a problem.
The crowd moved aside, seeing the armour of the city guard on Mu Chen, and they didn't know who gained enlightenment, allowing him to get away without a problem.
Mu Courtyard, meeting room.
"Tch! How long would it take for Heavenly toilet cleaner to walk one street?"
"This is all because of him."
"If he had been a little talented, Liu Ying wouldn't have come to break the contract and kill us!"
"Yes, it is his fault."
"…"
" …"
Mu Clan members understood that they couldn't target the Holy Sword sect and Liu Ying, so they picked on Mu Chen, who was weak!
Mu Hui couldn't protect her clan, so she stood silent as every Mu member kept kneeling. Zhen Jie was grinning, looking at still weeping faces,
Liu Ying looked determined, experiencing real growth. Le Yang sipped on the tea, which was brought by the servant.
"I will go to get Trash Mu. How long will I have to wait?" Mu Yang shouted, feeling that he couldn't tolerate any longer.
"Ok…." As Le Yang was about to agree, but—ThudThud, footsteps echoed through the room.
A skinny man with a crooked smile in a patched white robe entered the room.
"Heavenly toilet cleaner is here." A clansman shouted loudly, hoping that Le Yang would let them go.
Mu Clan sighed with relief, but Mu Patriarch and elders looked at Mu Chen with pity.
They understood that they wanted to kill Mu Chen!
"Now, come and die," Le Yang said, standing up with a grin on his face.
"Kill him? Why? Grand elder, aren't we just here to break the contract?" Liu Ying asked, not believing that they wanted to kill Mu Chen.
She still remembered her kid days, tailing after Mu Chen to play.
[ Ding! Child of destiny is detected. ]
A system panel popped up in front of the young man.
Seeing the skinny man, Zhen Jie grinned as his mouth almost touched his ears.
Seeing that everything was taking place in front of him was the final trigger to fully awaken his status as the child of destiny. Mu Chen decided to go all out and show his full power!
