Chapter 366: The Dilemma of Cultivation
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were fully aware of the seriousness of the crisis facing their sect. After taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of providing the energy to activate the magic weapon, they immediately devoted themselves to cultivation.
Yun Yao returned to her own secret room for cultivation, sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to guide the spiritual energy in her body to impact the higher level of the Judan Realm. At first, everything went according to plan, and the spiritual energy flowed slowly in the meridians, like a gentle stream, gradually gathering and compressing as her mind method operated. However, when she tried to break through the barrier that seemed so close yet so far away, problems arose one after another.
Each impact was like a wave hitting a solid reef. Her spiritual energy collapsed instantly. The backlash made her blood surge. A mouthful of sweetness rushed up her throat. She clenched her teeth and swallowed it. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, soaking her clothes. Failure after failure made Yun Yao's confidence begin to waver. Anxiety spread like a vine in her heart.
"Why? I'm so close, why can't I break through?" Yun Yao thought to herself, her eyes full of unwillingness and confusion. She thought of the smoothness of her previous cultivation. Although it was difficult to advance from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the early stage of the Gathering Pill Realm, she had never been stuck like this. The seeds of self-doubt took root in her heart, and she couldn't help but begin to question her talent and understanding, and even wondered if there was something wrong with her previous cultivation foundation.
At the same time, outside the secret room, Chu Mochen also faced the difficulties of cultivation. The technique he cultivated was more domineering, requiring and controlling spiritual power with extremely high precision. In the process of forcibly increasing spiritual power, his body was also under tremendous pressure. The meridians were like being burned by a raging fire, the pain was unbearable, and every time he circulated spiritual power, it was like walking on a sharp blade.
But Chu Mochen was tough by nature. Even though his face was distorted and cold sweat was pouring down his face, he never uttered a muffled groan. He knew that he could not retreat at all at this moment, not only for the sake of the sect, but also for Yun Yao. He longed to fight side by side with her in this crisis, to use his strength to provide her with a safe sky and make up for the damage he had caused her before.
However, reality is cruel. As time went by, the progress of their cultivation came to a standstill. Yun Yao was in the secret room, looking at the familiar walls around her, feeling extremely depressed. She tried various methods, such as adjusting the rhythm of cultivation, changing the route of spiritual power, and using the power of elixirs, but she still couldn't break the deadlock.
"Am I really going to stop here?" Yun Yao muttered to herself, her voice full of fatigue and despair. Her eyes gradually dimmed, as if she had lost the motivation to move forward. In this dark moment, the scenes of being bullied and looked down upon in the past involuntarily emerged in her mind. After traveling to this world of cultivation, she relied on the help of the system and her own efforts to gain a firm foothold and obtain her current status and strength. Is she going to fail like this?
On the other side, Chu Mochen stood up and paced in the training room, enduring the severe pain in his body. He frowned and fell into deep thought. He knew that the conventional training method could no longer meet the current needs, and he had to find another way to break through. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he remembered the unique method of spiritual power compression and fusion that he had seen in an ancient book. The ancient book was obscure and difficult to understand, and the method recorded was full of risks, but at this moment, in order to break through the predicament, he decided to take a risk.
Chu Mochen sat cross-legged again, took a deep breath, and carefully guided his spiritual power according to the vague records in the ancient books. At the beginning, his spiritual power was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, out of control, and almost made him go crazy. But he relied on his tenacious willpower to force himself to calm his mind and tame this violent power bit by bit.
Time passed quietly, Chu Mochen was immersed in this dangerous practice, unaware of the changes in the outside world. His body began to glow, and the spiritual power in his meridians was running, compressed, and integrated in a completely new way. Every step was like walking on thin ice, but he never gave up.
On the other hand, Yun Yao was already exhausted by anxiety and self-doubt in the secret room. She leaned against the wall helplessly, staring blankly ahead. Just when she was about to give up, a system prompt suddenly sounded in her mind: "Host, don't be discouraged. Adversity is also an opportunity. Think back to your experiences along the way. What did you rely on to overcome difficulties?"
Yun Yao was shocked, as if she was struck by an electric current. She began to search through her memories, the scenes when she first entered the palace, facing the bullying of the crowd but remained unyielding, and resolved crises time and time again with wisdom; after entering the sect, she joined hands with Chu Mochen to fight against powerful enemies, and the moments when she stimulated her potential on the brink of life and death, all appeared before her eyes one by one.
"It's courage, it's the determination to never give up!" Yun Yao's eyes were rekindled with fire, she slowly stood up and straightened her spine. At this moment, she put aside all distractions, no longer thinking about the consequences of failure, and had only one belief in her heart: to break through the difficulties and protect the sect.
Yun Yao readjusted her state and returned to the purest state of mind for cultivation. She abandoned the complicated techniques she had previously used and focused on feeling the essence of spiritual power, guiding and taming it with her heart. Every time the spiritual energy circulated, she poured all her heart and energy into it, as if she had merged with the spiritual power.
Just as Yun Yao gradually regained her form, Chu Mochen also made new progress. After a long period of exploration and experimentation, he finally mastered the dangerous spiritual power cultivation method in the ancient book. The spiritual power in his body became more condensed and powerful. Although he had not yet completely broken through, he had already faintly touched the edge of promotion.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with determination and confidence. At this moment, he was most concerned about Yun Yao, wondering how her training was going. Thinking of this, Chu Mochen stood up and walked towards Yun Yao's training room regardless of his physical fatigue.
Arriving at the door of the secret room, Chu Mochen knocked gently and said softly, "Yun Yao, how are you doing in there?"
Yun Yao was at a critical moment. When she heard the knock on the door, she frowned slightly, but when she heard it was Chu Mochen's voice, a warm feeling surged in her heart. She took a deep breath, calmed her breath, and replied: "I'm fine, I'm trying to break through, how about you?"
Chu Mochen heard the fatigue in her voice, and his heart ached. He said, "I found a new method of cultivation, which is slightly effective. Open the door and I will share it with you."
Yun Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door. Chu Mochen looked pale and disheveled, and he had obviously been through a tough battle. The two looked at each other, and saw concern and determination in each other's eyes.
Chu Mochen walked into the secret room and explained to Yun Yao in detail the spiritual power cultivation method he had figured out. At the end, he looked at Yun Yao and said seriously: "Yun Yao, I know you are under a lot of pressure right now, but don't give up. Let's face it together, and we will definitely find a way to break through."
Yun Yao nodded gently with tears in her eyes. She knew how lucky she was to have Chu Mochen by her side, giving her support and help during this most difficult time. The two of them said no more, sat down side by side, and devoted themselves to cultivation together according to the new method.
In the secret room, spiritual energy surged and light flickered. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen supported and encouraged each other. They forgot the crisis in the outside world and the fatigue of their bodies. They had only one goal in mind: to break through the difficulties, improve their strength, and protect everything they cherished. In this long and arduous training process, their feelings were also quietly warming up, like real gold tempered by fire, becoming more and more indestructible.
As time went by, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's cultivation gradually got on track. They tried again and again, adjusted again and again, and the spiritual power in their bodies became more powerful and condensed. Although they still faced many difficulties, they were no longer confused or afraid. Because they knew that as long as the two of them worked together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.
Finally, at a certain moment, the spiritual power in Yun Yao's body suddenly vibrated violently, and a powerful force surged out from her dantian and rushed straight into her meridians. Her body was shining brightly, and a powerful aura spread out.
"I made a breakthrough!" Yun Yao shouted excitedly, her eyes full of joy and pride.
Chu Mochen was also overjoyed when he saw this. He looked at Yun Yao, his eyes full of doting and relief: "That's great, Yun Yao, I knew you could do it!"
Yun Yao calmed down her excitement and turned to look at Chu Mochen: "Thanks to you, if you hadn't been with me all the time and supported me, I would have given up long ago."
Chu Mochen gently held Yun Yao's hand and said softly, "We are one. Your business is my business. Now that you have made a breakthrough, we are one step closer to saving our sect."
The two smiled at each other, their smiles showing relief after all the hardships, their deep friendship and their firm confidence in facing future challenges. They knew that this crisis had not yet been resolved, but at this moment, they already had a stronger force to face the next battle. After a brief moment of joy, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood up, walked out of the secret room hand in hand, and prepared to contribute all their strength to the upcoming decisive battle.
