Chapter 380 Common Progress
Chapter 380 Common Progress
In the misty, fairy-like place where the sect practices, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen have spent countless efforts to break through the Judan realm and advance to the Yuanying realm. Every inch of the air seems to be filled with the breath of their struggle, from the first ray of dawn penetrating the mist in the early morning to the stars shining brightly in the middle of the night. They are always sitting quietly in the secret room, absorbing spiritual energy with their five hearts facing the sky, or practicing skills in the martial arts field, in order to find a breakthrough opportunity in actual combat.
The cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm is like a towering, steep and precipitous mountain that stands before them. It requires not only the accumulation of majestic spiritual power, but also requires the practitioner to have extraordinary understanding, to be able to understand the subtle laws of the movement of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and to capture the fleeting light of truth in the practice. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen have been repeatedly frustrated on this thorny road to promotion, and have been stuck in the quagmire of bottlenecks many times, unable to extricate themselves.
Take Yun Yao for example. Every time she tried to reach a new realm, the spiritual power in her body was like a surging tide hitting a solid dam, and was ruthlessly rebounded, impacting her meridians and causing severe pain like corroding bones. The feeling of the spiritual power backlash was like thousands of steel needles piercing through her flesh and blood, causing her to sweat profusely and her face to turn pale as paper. In those darkest moments, she couldn't help but feel ripples of self-doubt in her heart. She looked at the stone wall of the secret room with confusion in her eyes, and thought to herself: "Am I really so limited in talent that I am destined to be unable to overcome this difficulty? Is the gap between me and Chu Mochen going to get bigger and bigger from now on?"
Chu Mochen was also having a hard time. Although he had a solid foundation, outstanding talent, and a smooth cultivation path in the past, the barrier of the Nascent Soul Realm was harder than he could imagine. When he was practicing, he often felt as if he was in a chaotic fog. No matter how hard he tried to find it, the spiritual light that guided the way forward was always looming and elusive. Every time he practiced the technique, it was like pushing a boulder up a mountain. It was heavy and difficult, and the growth of spiritual power was so slow that it made people anxious.
However, both of them have a stubborn spirit that refuses to admit defeat. Adversity has not only not dampened their fighting spirit, but has also fueled their determination to work together and overcome difficulties.
One day, Yun Yao suffered a backlash of spiritual power during her training and fell to the ground in pain. Chu Mochen happened to come to visit her. Seeing this, he was extremely anxious and rushed forward to help her up and helped her sit down on a stone bench nearby.
"Yun Yao, how are you?" Chu Mochen's face was full of concern and his eyes were full of heartache. He held Yun Yao's hands tightly with both hands and transmitted his gentle spiritual power to help her calm the disordered breath in her body.
Yun Yao bit her lower lip, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead. She endured the pain and forced a smile: "I'm fine, it's just that this Nascent Soul Realm... is too difficult."
Chu Mochen gently wiped the sweat off her face and said softly, "Don't be discouraged, let's find a solution together. I have encountered many difficulties in my cultivation during this period, and I always feel that I am missing a little opportunity. I think that maybe we should not explore on our own anymore, but pool our experiences, and maybe sparks of inspiration will emerge."
Yun Yao nodded slightly, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "You are right, we have been fighting on our own, but have ignored each other's advantages. Your spiritual power is strong and solid, and your understanding of the exercises is quite profound; and I am more flexible in the use of spiritual power in actual combat. Perhaps we can learn from each other and find a new breakthrough."
From then on, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen began to have a closer cultivation exchange. Every day they would gather in the quiet valley behind the sect, where it was quiet and peaceful, full of spiritual energy, and an excellent place for cultivation.
In the early morning, before the first ray of sunlight completely dissipated the morning mist in the valley, they sat opposite each other, with their five hearts facing the sky, and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After the spiritual energy entered their bodies and circulated for a week, the two would share their insights from their practice last night. Yun Yao spoke first, her voice soft but firm: "When I was circulating my spiritual power last night, I found that if I compressed the spiritual energy in a spiral, it could be made more condensed, but this operation puts a great load on the meridians, and I can only hold on for a moment."
Chu Mochen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, his eyes lit up: "This is a novel idea. I have never tried such a fine control before, but I think that if I can compress the spiritual energy and guide it with my own thoughts, it will be like opening a smooth channel for the spiritual energy, which may reduce the pressure on the meridians."
After saying that, he immediately stood up and began to demonstrate. Spiritual power surged around him, and a visible vortex of spiritual power slowly formed in his palm. With the guidance of his thoughts, the vortex became more and more condensed, but he did not show any pain.
Yun Yao watched intently, secretly admiring in her heart. After Chu Mochen finished his demonstration, she couldn't wait to try it out in the same way. At first, the compression of spiritual power still brought a strong stinging pain, but she remembered Chu Mochen's method and used her mind to carefully sort out the direction of spiritual power. Gradually, the stinging sensation was much lessened, and the spiritual power vortex in her palm became more stable, and the light was dazzling.
"Success!" Yun Yao exclaimed in surprise, her eyes full of excitement.
Chu Mochen also smiled, walked forward, and patted her shoulder gently: "You understand very quickly, it seems that our method is feasible. Next, let's try to integrate this condensed spiritual power into the practice to exert greater power."
The two immediately devoted themselves to the study of the techniques. They disassembled the techniques they had learned one by one, exploring the subtleties of each move and each level. Yun Yao was good at improvisation in actual combat. Based on her combat experience, she put forward many unique insights on the connection of techniques.
“Look, when fighting an enemy, if you first use this move ‘Gentle Breeze Blowing Willows’ to disrupt the opponent’s spiritual power fluctuations, and then quickly follow up with ‘Shining Stars’ to instantly explode the condensed spiritual power, you will definitely catch the opponent off guard.” Yun Yao said as she danced, the spiritual power in her hands transformed into streaks of light and shadow, demonstrating the connection between the moves.
Chu Mochen watched carefully from the side, nodding from time to time, his eyes full of praise: "Great, your practical skills always give me new inspiration. In my previous training, I paid too much attention to the accumulation of spiritual power, but was slightly insufficient in actual combat application. According to what you said, we can practice these moves repeatedly in our daily training and be able to send and receive them freely."
So, in the following days, the valley was often filled with the sound of them exchanging martial arts. With each move, spiritual power overflowed, and sand and rocks flew. They pointed out each other's shortcomings, constantly optimizing their moves and perfecting the application of their skills.
As the communication deepened, they found that their spiritual power attributes were surprisingly complementary. Yun Yao's spiritual power was gentle and agile, like a gurgling stream, able to penetrate everything; while Chu Mochen's spiritual power was vigorous and fierce, like a raging fire, with powerful explosive power.
One day, during a fierce competition, the two's spiritual powers collided and unexpectedly produced a strange resonance. At that moment, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be summoned and gathered towards them frantically, forming a colorful spiritual power vortex that enveloped them.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were both shocked, and then realized that this might be a rare opportunity for a breakthrough. They hurriedly stopped what they were doing, calmed down, and guided the surging spiritual power to flow through their bodies.
Under the nourishment of spiritual power, Yun Yao felt that the blocked meridians in her body were gradually unblocked, like cleared rivers, and the flow of spiritual power became smoother and more unobstructed. The bottleneck of the Judan realm, which had been stagnant, also showed signs of loosening at this moment.
Chu Mochen also benefited a lot. He realized that his control over spiritual power had reached a new level, and he could mobilize every bit of spiritual power more finely and use it for his own benefit. The threshold of the Nascent Soul Realm that had always troubled him no longer seemed so far away.
"Yun Yao, now is the time, let's break through the bottleneck together!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness.
Yun Yao also nodded, with an indomitable courage in her eyes. The two stood side by side, holding hands, integrating each other's spiritual power, and launched the final charge towards a higher realm.
Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, and the spiritual energy in the valley surged like boiling water. Light burst out from them, soaring into the sky, illuminating the entire sect.
In this light, the figures of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were looming. They closed their eyes tightly and immersed themselves in the key node of breakthrough. The spiritual power in their bodies roared and rushed, constantly impacting the thin barrier. Every impact was accompanied by heart-wrenching pain, but they gritted their teeth, supported each other, and never had the slightest intention of retreating.
Finally, with a roar that seemed to come from the depths of the soul, the barrier shattered. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen only felt a tremendous and endless power surging from their bodies. They successfully broke through the Judan Realm and advanced to the Yuanying Realm!
At this moment, they opened their eyes and looked at each other, their eyes full of joy of surviving the catastrophe and the pride of breaking through themselves. The light gradually faded, revealing their tall and resolute figures, surrounded by spiritual energy, like a pair of immortal lovers descended to the mortal world.
"We did it, Yunyao!" Chu Mochen opened his arms excitedly and hugged Yunyao tightly in his arms.
Yun Yao's eyes also reddened. She hugged him back, her voice choking with sobs: "Yes, we finally did it. All the hardships along the way were not in vain."
They embraced each other in the valley for a long time, feeling each other's heartbeat and joy. At this moment, not only their strengths had been greatly improved, but also their hearts had reached an unprecedented harmony. The conflicts and setbacks in the past had become the cornerstones of their growth, making this relationship even more indestructible.
After a long time, the two walked out of the valley hand in hand. They knew that this was just a new starting point on the road of cultivation, and there were more challenges and unknowns waiting for them. But they were not afraid, because they had each other, the courage and strength to make progress together and overcome all obstacles.
Back in the sect, their breakthrough was like a thunderclap, exploding among the disciples. Everyone cast awe and envy at them, and the elders smiled and nodded in praise. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not become proud and complacent because of this. They humbly asked the elders for advice to understand the path of cultivation after the Nascent Soul stage, and shared their breakthrough experience with their fellow disciples, hoping to contribute more to the development of the sect.
In this peaceful and exciting atmosphere, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen quietly made a vow that no matter how rough the road ahead was, they would walk hand in hand, protect each other and their sect, until they reached the pinnacle of cultivation. At this moment, they had taken a solid and powerful step, striding towards the bright future.
