The art of enlightenment, also known as the art of wisdom awakening, is named after the idea of awakening the intellectual light within a life.
There are still significant differences between a soul and an intelligent being.
For a being with a soul to develop intelligence, five conditions must be met: sensation, perception, concepts, cognition, and intelligence.
It is worth noting that even plants have developed the ability to feel and perceive.
However, what they lack is precisely concepts and cognition.
However, to give them concepts and cognition, we cannot do so by teaching and raising them bit by bit, like we would with animal cubs. Instead, we use magic to copy a portion of our knowledge and memories and then implant it directly into their initial consciousness.
This process is what we call "enlightenment".
If it's just about enlightening the tree people, this step is enough.
Of course, the enlightenment function in Levin's ceremony goes beyond this.
The appearance of the awakened Tree People is entirely determined by their original form; they will look like any tree they were raised to after awakening.
Unless the tree already had a human face before enlightenment, it would definitely have had an old bark face after enlightenment.
However, since Levin combined the [Heroic Spirit Creation Ritual], the plant spirit he created naturally wouldn't look exactly like its original form. Instead, like a Heroic Spirit, it would be designed according to the injected information framework.
So, in the process of injecting knowledge and memory, Levin also began to inject the surrounding natural information, as well as the 3D framework model he designed himself.
Soon, Levin transformed this newborn consciousness into the form he desired.
The final step revolves around the enlightenment memory, strengthening the initial consciousness through the 720 consciousness compilation.
Levin cannot intervene in this step; it must be completed by the student themselves.
Digesting and inheriting memories is like consciousness weaving together bits and pieces of memory into one's own thinking.
In this process, the newborn soul will naturally absorb a large amount of natural power, constantly strengthening its initial consciousness.
It may sound simple, but in reality, it is a rather time-consuming process. Many tasks require patience and meticulousness to complete, much like a slow and steady process.
By the time Levin finished his enlightenment work, a full ten hours had passed, and it was already dawn.
Fortunately, most of the time was spent on the final steps, during which Levin only needed to maintain the enlightenment process and did not need to actively operate the device.
This allowed Levin to rest through meditation.
Actually, this time is already very short.
After all, playing at home saves a lot of time.
A true "enlightenment" ceremony takes at least 24 hours and often two or three days.
As soon as Levin opened his eyes, he saw the rose tree in front of him, along with the surrounding flowers, grasses, and vines, growing wildly and twisting wildly.
Soon, a naked woman appeared before the rose tree. She was strange and beautiful, with a pure and natural temperament. Her eyes were bright and sparkling with a unique wisdom.
It was Levin who created the spirit of the trees—the tree spirit.
"My lord, I'm sorry, could you wait a moment? I have something to do." The tree spirit's voice was as melodious as a clear spring, gently echoing in Levin's ears.
She turned around gracefully, her elfin figure floating to the base of the rose tree.
The next second, the tree spirit entered the tree, seemingly merging with the rose tree, and disappeared.
This is a tree spirit's magic-like ability, the [Wood Release Technique], which allows it to teleport through trees that can accommodate its own body size.
The tree spirit's departure was swift and decisive; before Levin could even assess the effectiveness of his enlightenment, she had already vanished.
This thing has just gained intelligence, what exactly does she want to do?

Chapter 395 Tree Spirit Rose
Curious about the tree spirit's whereabouts, Levin quickly retrieved his soul link.
Levin has many soul connections: Onyxia, whom he binds; his magical pet Aiwo; Gwen and Orianna, whom he created; and the contracted Heroic Spirit Rowena. All of them have soul connections with him.
Sure enough, he quickly found the one belonging to the tree spirit among the many soul links.
In fact, while a treant enlightened by a normal [Enlightenment] spell will naturally feel a sense of affinity with the druid who enlightened it, there will be no special resonance or connection between them.
Heroic Spirits created through the [Heroic Spirit Creation Ritual] can have a soul contract left behind during the creation process.
This tree spirit was not created simply through [Enlightenment Technique], but rather through a combination of [Heroic Spirit Creation Ritual]. In this case, even if the object of [Enlightenment Technique] is enlightened, it cannot escape the bondage of the soul contract.
Because the two are related.
Following the connection of souls, Levin discovered that the tree spirit was running around in the forest and even broke into Levin's greenhouse. What was she doing there for no reason?
Levin's question had barely surfaced when the tree spirit emerged from the roots once more.
Upon seeing his appearance, Levin immediately knew what she had been doing—she had gone to get ready.
All I can say is, it truly lives up to its reputation as a tree spirit of the rosewood.
The first thing she did after being born was to put on makeup.
She is no longer the same as she was when she first transformed from the rose tree.
Her body was covered with clothes woven from leaves and stems.
These leaves are not rose leaves, but rather a beautiful small oval leaf that comes from the new shoots of a gardenia tree. They are arranged together in a dense and neat manner, forming the shape of a piece of cloth.
And vines grew around her waist and all over her body, serving as belts and ropes to secure her clothes; even her hair was entangled with vines.
Levin observed carefully and realized that none of these vines were ordinary vines.
No wonder she just ran off to her magic greenhouse.
Hidden within the hair were poisonous tentacles covered in sharp spikes.
Wrapped around her waist were tentacle-like, knotty vines.
A serpentine, devilish web was coiled around his arms and legs.
In addition, several biting vines were coiled around her head, like Medusa's snake hair, and they made squeaking noises.
Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.
This statement is absolutely true.
After this washing and dressing process...
The rose tree spirit's already outstanding appearance became even more charming and alluring.
Tree branches are her arms, tree roots are her legs, leaves are her clothes, vines are her belt, and her vibrant hair is like green leaves and flowers.
Levin then realized that tree spirits could freely change the parts of their bodies, and could combine parts of other plants with themselves in a grafting-like manner to perform different functions.
This is interesting.
The Harry Potter world is home to many highly aggressive magical plants, and the ancient guardians of magic from a century ago have shown future generations how herbalists fight.
Perhaps the tree spirit will follow this path in the future?
At least none of the magical vines wrapped around her were easy to mess with.
In the future, I can find all kinds of lethal plants or cultivate all sorts of strange plants and install them on the tree spirit, just like changing the equipment of a robot.
For example, installing Mandrakes to help her master [Banshee's Howl], or creating some kind of projectile peas to enhance ranged damage, etc.
While pondering this, Levin observed the tree spirit's detailed attribute data through the soul link.

After reading it, Levin couldn't help but gasp.
Wow, adding the Heroic Spirit Creation Ritual to the Enlightenment Technique really makes a difference.
Normal early education typically raises the intelligence and perception of the target learner to around 10 points.
When it came to Levin, the average of her three mental attributes reached 18, and she was also given the ability to learn druidic spells.
This is the result of Levin's bestowal of additional spirituality and soul power through the "Heroic Spirit Creation Ritual".
As for the increase in strength, agility, and constitution, these are not direct effects of the [Enlightenment] spell, but rather the corresponding benefits brought about by the tree spirit reshaping the body after enlightenment.
After all, the prototype is based on a tree, so it's normal for it to have higher strength and physique.
Her considerable agility may be due to the fact that Levin incorporated the concepts of elves and spirits into her creation.
As representatives of natural forces, it is normal for tree spirits to possess some characteristics of spirits.
The charm comes from their appearance; tree spirits are much more pleasing to the eye than those random tree people.
If tree people are just a pile of rubbish haphazardly stacked wood, then tree spirits are exquisite works of art.
As the gardener of this forest, she is not only professionally qualified, but also extremely powerful in combat; most wizards are no match for her.
Through this experience, Levin fully understands the key points of combining [Enlightenment] and [Heroic Spirit Creation Ritual].
