Chapter 274: The Obstacle of Judan, Breaking Through the Boundary to Find a Way
Yun Yao was speeding along the path of cultivation, just like the shining stars across the vast night sky, her light attracted everyone's attention. However, at this moment, she was stagnant at the high level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The door to the Gathering Pill Realm seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not cross it.
Yun Yao knew that this was a critical point in her cultivation. Only by breaking through to the Judan Realm could she gain a more solid foothold in the world of cultivation, and have more say in the upcoming changes, and protect the people she cherished and the peace of her sect. So, she resolutely began the difficult search for a way to break through.
The ancient books room of the sect is a treasure house that carries the crystallization of countless years and wisdom. In the darkness, it exudes a unique scent of old paper and ink. When Yun Yao stepped into it, it was as if she had stepped into a long river of history. The surrounding bookshelves were towering into the sky, filled with densely packed ancient books and volumes, and the dust of time was gently dancing in the weak light. She searched row by row of bookshelves, her eyes were eager and focused, and her fingers gently brushed across the spines of the books. Everywhere she touched was the trace of time and the wisdom of the ancestors. Every time she opened a book, she could hear the slight "rustling" sound of the paper, as if the ancestors were whispering in her ears, imparting their past cultivation experience and insights.
She consulted many ancient books related to foundation building and promotion to the Dan-Gathering stage. Those ancient texts, obscure sentences, and complex diagrams were like insurmountable mountains that stood in front of her. But Yun Yao, with her unyielding perseverance, studied word by word, sometimes frowning and falling into deep thought; sometimes her eyes lit up, as if she had realized something. She traveled in the world of ancient books, not missing any possible clues, like a traveler groping in the dark, trying to find that ray of light.
In addition to ancient books, Yun Yao also actively consulted the elders in the sect. With awe and piety in her heart, she gently knocked on the door of the elders' residence, and only stepped in slowly after receiving a response. The elders' residence was filled with a faint sandalwood scent, quiet and peaceful. She explained in detail to the elders her confusion and insights in cultivation, and the elders listened patiently with a kind smile. Their eyes revealed the wisdom and depth of the years, and they used gentle words to guide Yun Yao, telling her the experiences and lessons of former disciples in breaking through this state, and mentioned some details and key points that are easily overlooked, which made Yun Yao feel enlightened and benefited a lot.
At this critical moment, the system also provided Yun Yao with special training tasks. These tasks are like mysterious checkpoints, waiting for her to challenge and conquer. One of the tasks is to go deep into the Lingxu Cave in the back mountain of the sect. This cave is located deep in the back mountain. The entrance of the cave is shrouded in a layer of hazy spiritual mist, faintly emitting a cold breath. Strange spiritual crystals flicker on the walls of the cave. In the flickering light, there seems to be a mysterious power flowing in it. However, there are also many spiritual beasts living in the cave. They are illusory, but have powerful attack capabilities, can control spiritual power to attack, and are good at hiding their bodies, making it difficult to defend against.
After Yun Yao accepted the task, she made some preparations and resolutely stepped into Lingxu Cave. As soon as she entered the cave, a chill hit her face, causing her to shiver slightly. She moved forward cautiously, her spiritual sense fully open, and she was always alert to the movements around her. Not long after she walked, she was attacked by a spiritual beast. A flash of light passed by, and a spiritual beast appeared in front of her like a ghost, pouncing on her with its teeth and claws bared. Yun Yao quickly dodged sideways, and at the same time, she pinched the magic formula in her hand and cast a defensive spiritual light, barely blocking the attack of the spiritual beast. But the spiritual beast did not give up. It turned around and attacked again, spewing a stream of spiritual energy from its mouth, shooting at Yun Yao like a sharp arrow. Yun Yao tapped her feet lightly and cast the "Spiritual Wind Step", avoiding the attack gracefully, and then cast the "Spiritual Flame Curse" with her backhand, and a flame wrapped around the spiritual beast like a smart snake. The spiritual beast let out a sharp cry and struggled in the flames.
However, this is just the beginning. As Yun Yao went deeper, more spirit beasts emerged. They attacked alone or in groups of two or three, cooperating well, making Yun Yao overwhelmed. In one battle, three spirit beasts surrounded Yun Yao in a triangle and attacked at the same time. The spirit beast on the left cast the "Ice Sealing Technique", and an ice spike shot at Yun Yao like a sharp blade; the spirit beast on the right sprayed a poisonous mist with a pungent smell; the spirit beast in the middle condensed a spiritual power ball, which contained powerful explosive power in the flashing light. Yun Yao looked solemn. She took a deep breath, first cast the "Purification Shield" to block the poisonous mist outside, and then danced her hands quickly, casting the "Spirit Shadow Clone Technique", instantly splitting into two clones. One clone faced the spirit beast on the left and launched a fierce spell confrontation with it; the other clone rushed to the spirit beast on the right, trying to break its poisonous mist attack. Yun Yao's real body concentrated on dealing with the most powerful spirit beast in the middle. She continuously poured spiritual power into the spell in her hand, chanting something in her mouth, and performed the "Spirit Breaking Spell". A powerful spiritual power beam shot towards the spirit beast in the middle like a rainbow piercing the sun. The spirit beast's spiritual power ball collided with Yun Yao's "Spirit Breaking Spell", making a loud noise that shook the earth. The spiritual power fluctuations spread around like ripples, shaking the spirit crystals on the cave wall to flicker.
In this fierce battle, Yun Yao's spiritual power gradually consumed, but her eyes became more determined. She constantly adjusted her tactics, relying on her rich combat experience and tenacious perseverance to escape danger again and again. Finally, after several arduous battles, she successfully defeated the spirit beast in Lingxu Cave and completed the task assigned by the system.
Completing this task brought Yun Yao a precious reward - a Gathering Spirit Pill. This pill was round and crystal clear, emitting a soft light, and there were faint spiritual lines flowing on the pill, as if it contained endless mysteries. Yun Yao held the Gathering Spirit Pill in her hand, her heart full of joy and expectation. She knew that this pill would be of great help to her breakthrough to the Gathering Pill Realm.
However, Yun Yao did not take the Soul Gathering Pill immediately. She knew that the path of cultivation needed to be steady and not overly dependent on external forces. So, she decided to continue to practice on her own, and when her own spiritual power and perception reached a certain level, she would use the power of the Soul Gathering Pill to make a breakthrough.
In the days of cultivation that followed, Yun Yao became more diligent and hardworking. She got up early every morning and went to the place where the spiritual veins converged in the back mountain of the sect to meditate and practice. The spiritual power here was rich, and the spiritual mist was like a substance lingering around. Yun Yao closed her eyes and concentrated, immersing herself in the world of cultivation. She guided the spiritual power around her to slowly enter her body and flow slowly along the meridians, like a trickle of water converging into a river. During the practice, she constantly felt the laws of the operation of spiritual power, trying to integrate it with her own spiritual power, so as to improve the quality and quantity of spiritual power.
Every practice is a challenge and transcendence to oneself. Yun Yao encountered many difficulties in practice, such as spiritual power backlash, meridian pain, etc. But she gritted her teeth and persisted, overcoming difficulties again and again with her tenacious perseverance and firm belief. She constantly adjusted her practice methods and tried different spiritual power operation routes and rhythms, like a craftsman groping in the dark, trying to carve her own perfect work.
As she practiced more deeply, Yun Yao gradually felt that her spiritual power began to undergo subtle changes. Her originally impetuous spiritual power gradually became steady and condensed, like a sword that had been tempered a thousand times, its edge restrained but more powerful. Her meridians also became stronger and wider under the nourishment of spiritual power, able to accommodate more spiritual power.
In the communication with Chu Mochen, Yun Yao also gained a lot of inspiration and encouragement. They often gathered in the sect's garden, surrounded by flowers and fragrance. Yun Yao told Chu Mochen about her confusion and feelings in cultivation, and Chu Mochen listened carefully, nodding slightly from time to time, and sometimes offering his own opinions and suggestions. He shared some of his experiences and skills in cultivation, such as how to better control spiritual power and how to stay calm in battle. His words were like a spring breeze, which gradually dissipated the haze in Yun Yao's heart and regained her confidence and courage.
During a conversation, Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao, his eyes full of concern and expectation, and said: "Yun Yao, I see that you seem to have reached a bottleneck in your cultivation recently, but don't be impatient. The path of cultivation is like climbing a mountain, you need to take one step at a time. I see your perseverance and talent, and I believe you can break through this state." Yun Yao nodded slightly, with gratitude and determination in her eyes, and responded: "Thank you, Chu Mochen. With you by my side, I have more confidence and courage. I will never give up and I will definitely break through this state."
Time flies, like a white horse passing by in a flash. With unremitting efforts and persistence, Yun Yao finally ushered in the opportunity for a breakthrough. That day, she went to the place where the spiritual veins converged to practice as usual. When she was immersed in the practice, she suddenly felt the spiritual power in her body surge like a surging tide, rushing around uncontrollably. She was startled, but soon calmed down. She knew that this was the critical moment for a breakthrough. If she couldn't grasp it, all her previous efforts would be wasted, and she might even suffer a serious injury.
Yun Yao quickly adjusted her mindset, focused all her energy, and guided the spiritual power in her body to flow along a specific route. Fine beads of sweat gradually oozed out of her forehead, and she clenched her teeth to endure the severe pain brought by the spiritual power impact. Every impact of the spiritual power was like a sharp blade passing through her meridians, but she always gritted her teeth and persisted without saying a word.
As time went by, the spiritual power in Yun Yao's body became more and more violent. She felt as if she was in a storm of spiritual power and could be swallowed up at any time. But at this critical moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind. It was a passage she read in an ancient book about the insights of breaking through the Judan realm, and the inspiration she got from communicating with Chu Mochen.
Yun Yao was overjoyed. She did not hesitate to follow the flash of inspiration and adjusted the way her spiritual power worked. She slowly compressed the spiritual power in her body, just like squeezing a ball of fluffy cotton into a solid sphere. During the process of compressing her spiritual power, her body began to emit a dazzling light, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathered towards her like a vortex.
Finally, after a lot of hard work, Yun Yao successfully condensed her spiritual power into a pill. At that moment, she felt as if she had been reborn, and a powerful force surged in her body. She slowly opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes flashed, revealing endless joy and confidence.
Yun Yao successfully advanced from the high level of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Dan Gathering Realm. This breakthrough made her strength a qualitative leap. She knew that this was just a new starting point on her road to cultivation, and there were still countless challenges and opportunities waiting for her in the future. But she was not afraid. She would continue to venture into this world of cultivation with firm belief and tenacious perseverance, and write her own legendary chapter.
