Chapter 190 "Cultivation Breakthrough, One Step Further"
The days in the sect flowed like flowing water. After experiencing many twists and turns, Yun Yao realized more deeply that strength was the foundation for survival in this world of cultivation. Whether it was Liu Yan'er's frame-up or the undercurrent of competition in the sect, she understood that only by becoming stronger could she protect everything she cherished.
Yun Yao's residence is located in a quiet place in the sect, surrounded by lush spiritual plants and full of spiritual energy. Her room is simply decorated, with only a stone bed, a bookshelf full of ancient books and a cushion for cultivation. Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and shines in front of the window, Yun Yao gets up early and starts a new day of cultivation.
She sat cross-legged on the mat, with her five hearts facing the sky, adjusting her breathing, and letting her mind gradually calm down. The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be summoned and slowly gathered towards her. At first, the spiritual energy was like a thread wrapped around her. With her guidance, it gradually penetrated into her body through the pores and flowed along the meridians. Every time the spiritual energy circulated, it was like combing the meridians in her body, clearing those tiny blockages one by one.
Yun Yao knows that cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. In the Qi training stage, she has accumulated enough foundation, but it is not easy to break through to the foundation building stage. This not only requires a large amount of spiritual energy accumulation, but also requires a deeper understanding of the way of heaven and earth. She recalled her journey from the palace and the wisdom she used to solve problems in the secular country. Those experiences that seem to have nothing to do with cultivation have subtly influenced her understanding of the world and brought a unique perspective to her cultivation.
During the practice, Yun Yao encountered many bottlenecks. Sometimes, when the spiritual energy runs to a certain point in the meridians, it will encounter an invisible resistance, as if there is a wall in front of it. She tried various methods, such as increasing the input of spiritual energy and changing the running route, but to no avail. However, Yun Yao was not discouraged. She looked for clues in the system and read the ancient books of the sect, trying to find a way to break through.
Once, she saw a record about the cultivation of the state of mind in an ancient book. The book mentioned that when practitioners break through the realm, they are often affected by their own state of mind. If the state of mind is unstable and there are too many distracting thoughts, they will produce inner demons when breaking through, hindering the progress of cultivation. Yun Yao realized that she might have a problem in this regard. She began to reflect on her experiences after coming to this world. The bullying she suffered in the palace, the fight with Liu Yan'er, and the complicated feelings for Chu Mochen all left traces in her heart.
In order to eliminate these distracting thoughts, Yun Yao decided to temporarily put aside her cultivation, walked out of her residence, and went to the back mountain of the sect. There was a quiet lake in the back mountain, the water was clear and the lake was surrounded by blooming spiritual flowers. Yun Yao sat on a boulder by the lake, quietly looking at the lake, letting her thoughts drift with the sparkling water. She tried to release the troubles, resentments, and worries in her heart one by one, just like letting the lake water wash away the dust.
During this process, Yun Yao's mind gradually became ethereal. She felt the rhythm of nature, the gentle breeze blowing through the flowers, the joyful singing of birds on the branches, the tranquility of the flowing lake, all of which seemed to be a language between heaven and earth. She began to realize that cultivation is not only a pursuit of power, but also a fusion with heaven and earth. When she returned to her residence and started practicing again, she found that her perception of spiritual energy had become more acute.
Yun Yao once again guided the spiritual energy to flow through the meridians. This time, when she encountered resistance, she did not force a breakthrough, but calmed down and felt the source of the resistance. She found that the resistance was actually the fear and anxiety in her heart. She used her ethereal state of mind to tolerate and resolve it. With the change of her state of mind, the resistance gradually weakened, and the spiritual energy passed through the blocked meridians smoothly.
As she practiced more, Yun Yao's body also underwent wonderful changes. Her meridians became stronger and tougher under the nourishment of spiritual energy, just like fine steel that had been tempered a thousand times. Every time the spiritual energy flowed, she could feel the expansion and strengthening of her meridians. Her bones also gradually became crystal clear and contained powerful strength under the penetration of spiritual energy. Her skin seemed to emit a faint halo, and the whole person looked more extraordinary.
In addition to the changes in her body, Yun Yao's perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has also reached a new level. She can feel that the spiritual energy around her is no longer a disordered existence, but has its own rules and rhythms. Some spiritual energy is like a cheerful stream, flowing quickly; some spiritual energy is like a steady mountain, heavy and slow. She began to try to introduce them into her body according to their different characteristics, and to integrate and transform them.
With the support of the sect's cultivation resources, Yun Yao had more opportunities to come into contact with precious spiritual objects. She would regularly go to the sect's treasury to collect elixirs and magic weapons suitable for her own cultivation. These elixirs played an important auxiliary role in her breakthrough. Each elixir contained rich spiritual energy. When she took the elixir, the elixir dissolved in her body, and the spiritual energy poured into her meridians like a surging tide. Yun Yao carefully guided the spiritual energy and blended it with the original spiritual energy in her body to accumulate more energy for breaking through the foundation-building stage.
At the critical moment of cultivation, Yun Yao entered a deep state of meditation. She seemed to be in a vast starry sky, surrounded by bright stars and gorgeous nebulae. Each star represented a trace of spiritual energy, and they flickered and flowed in the starry sky. Yun Yao felt like the master of this starry sky. She guided the trajectory of the stars and let them converge into a brilliant galaxy. This galaxy flowed in her body, and wherever it went, the meridians were further widened and strengthened.
After countless days and nights of hard training, Yun Yao finally had the opportunity to break through. A strong spiritual energy fluctuation appeared around her body, shining brightly, as if she had turned into a luminous body. The surrounding air also produced bursts of whistling sounds due to the compression of spiritual energy. Yun Yao concentrated all her energy and guided the spiritual energy in her body to rush to the final level.
At that moment, countless images flashed through her mind, including memories of the modern world, struggles in the palace, and adventures with Chu Mochen. These images intertwined in her consciousness and became the driving force for her breakthrough. With a slight roar, Yun Yao successfully broke through the Qi Training Realm and was promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
A powerful force surged from her body, and she felt as if she had been reborn. She could clearly feel the changes in the world around her. Every blade of grass and tree in the distant mountains and forests, and every move of the disciples in the sect were all within her perception range. Her vision became wider, and she could see the flow of spiritual energy that ordinary people could not perceive. Her strength was also qualitatively improved, and her every move contained powerful spiritual power.
When Yun Yao woke up from her practice, her eyes were shining with confidence. She knew that this was just a new starting point for her cultivation, and there were more challenges waiting for her. But she was ready to face everything in the future with a stronger attitude.
The author says:
Dear readers, this chapter is an important step in Yun Yao's growth. In the process of creating this breakthrough, I hope to make everyone feel that cultivation is not only about improving strength, but also about the training of the soul. Every practitioner must face inner struggles and growth while pursuing strength. Just like in our lives, we will encounter various difficulties, but as long as we maintain a firm belief and continue to break through ourselves, we can usher in a new dawn. I hope everyone will like Yun Yao's journey of cultivation, and I look forward to witnessing more of her wonderful moments with everyone.
