Time flowed past like a rushing river, and Lu Yu opened his eyes from his quiet cultivation. Lightning flickered within his gaze, dissipating only when it was three meters from his body.
He slowly exhaled a breath and lifted his head to see the richly foliaged Enlightenment Tea Tree frantically swaying its branches, welcoming Lu Yu's awakening.
"I wonder how long this cultivation session lasted." Lu Yu sighed slightly as he underestimated the profundity of the Way of Thunder. Once his mind entered into the cultivation state, a flood of insights came to him, rendering time meaningless. In his perception, it felt like an instant, but he knew in his heart that a long time had passed.
Slowly rising to his feet, he stretched his body and walked out of his cave dwelling. He discovered it was already deep autumn, with layers of forest fully dyed in seasonal colors, displaying stunning beauty as red, yellow, and green blended together in the woods.
