After a while, the bamboo forest called more people to it. Warriors walked and travelled using bodily movement skills to the entrance and they flowed inside in ending rows.
It didn't take long for the place to fill with a large, noisy crowd. Speaking was all but forbidden in the bamboo forest but none of these warriors seemed to care.
"There are so many people here! This is annoying!"
"Leave them alone. Let's get inside."
"Yes. Listen to him. This isn't important. The real opportunity is still ahead of us so let's hurry up."
Annoyed, the disciples of the old sects and students of the four schools in the Middle Pilgrim Land that had been sitting and practicing mediation rose to their feet. They glared at the warriors as they made a path through them, marching loudly.
The environment was intended for silence, and this was anything sounded like a parade. However, before they could scold the newcomers, something else caught their eye.
"Oh my! That guy over there is glowing! Look at his head!"
one of them shouted, pointing excitedly at the far corner of the bamboo forest. Sitting with his legs crossed and his eyes shut was Austin, deep in mediation.
"Brilliant! It looks like he's entered the deep stage of enlightenment."
"How is that possible? It's so rare that only a genius at the top of every skill could reach it."
"That's right. This guy looks like a cultivator of the Minor-perfection Realm. He's not a master, yet he is able to get such insights. That must mean he is a little talented.
"Who is this guy? Why can't I recall there being a genius like him in the Middle Pilgrim Land?"
"I can't either. I have met all the influential geniuses in the sects and four schools. I'm sure he isn't among them."
"He must be from another place of the Divine Continent."
The people that had been meditating all turned and stared at Austin. Meanwhile, he was oblivious to the curious looks he was receiving.
The fact that he could comprehend things in the deep stage was so rare that they couldn't even blink. It was only legend, and no one had seen it done before, until now.
As they watched, some of them filled with shock and others filled with envy.
The young cultivators who hadn't been fans of Austin from the moment he had walked in were the most jealous.
They had spent hours practicing meditation but they were years away from even coming close to the deep stage of enlightenment. It hurt their pride to see another young man like themselves reach it effortlessly.
It felt like Austin had slapped them across the face in front of all.
Anger burned in their chests as they watched him being better than they were.
"Humph, it's impossible for men from other places of the Divine Continent to enter the deep state of enlightenment. In my opinion, this guy has to be pretending!
I'll give it a try. I'll let him know what he really is."
Moments later, a principal disciple of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect in the Middle Pilgrim Land burst forth from the crowd and bolted towards Austin.
Everyone else stood back and became bystanders of the situation. After all, many of them would take pleasure in Austin being hurt.
They knew that a meditating warrior should never be disturbed.
If they were in deep enough, being interrupted could cause them to lose control of themselves or even die. And a less serious disturbance could still cause damage to their body or soul that would show up in the future.
It turned out that the principal disciple of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect wanted to disturb Austin's meditation and hurt him gravely.
"Master, you need to wake up. Someone is coming at you and I think he wants to hurt you."
"Come on, man! Wake up!"
In a panic, Violet and the gnome quickly sent messages into Austin's Soul Sea in an attempt to reach him. However, he couldn't hear them or he didn't respond in any way.
It was too late. Austin had reached the deep state of enlightenment and he couldn't make contact with the outside world. Inside his head, the original laws and truths were twisting and evolving.
The sun, moon, stars, wind, snow, and rain changed into new shapes and colors, making him feel like he was tripping on heavy drugs.
Like a magnet, he drew all the golden runes that were floating casually in the bamboo forest to him. They rested at his body, revolving around his head slowly.
