Chapter 235 A Turning Point
In the quiet and mysterious training pavilion of the sect, Yun Yao was worriedly asking a white-haired senior with deep and wise eyes for advice on how to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the foundation building stage. The senior stroked his long beard, pondered for a long time, and slowly said: "In the depths of the remote and dangerous Lingxu Valley, there grows a spiritual plant called Lingxu Holy Fruit. This fruit contains extremely pure and majestic spiritual power. If you can take it, it will definitely help you break through the current predicament and break through to the late stage of the foundation building stage. However, Lingxu Valley is by no means a good place. There are rampant monsters with strong strength, and there are many mysterious and powerful restrictions. For thousands of years, countless people who went to explore it have never returned."
Yun Yao heard this, and although she knew that this journey would be full of difficulties and obstacles, in order to improve her strength and protect herself and those around her in this dangerous world of cultivation, she showed no sign of retreat. She clasped her fists and saluted the senior, and said resolutely: "Thank you for telling me, I will do my best."
Chu Mochen, who was standing aside, had a frown on his face from beginning to end. After Yun Yao expressed her determination, he stepped forward, his tone full of unquestionable determination: "Yun Yao, this trip is too dangerous. I won't let you go alone. I'll go with you so that I can take care of you." Yun Yao looked at his concerned and determined eyes, and felt a warmth in her heart. She knew that once Chu Mochen made a decision, it would be difficult to change it, and with him accompanying her, her chances of winning would be better. So she nodded slightly and acquiesced to his going with her.
After a brief rest, the two set out on their journey to Lingxu Valley. They flew through the air, and the mountains and rivers beneath their feet quickly passed by. However, when they were above a dense primeval forest, a strong and evil aura came over them. Then, a group of huge monsters emitting black mist rose from the forest and pounced on them. These monsters looked like giant wolves, but they had wings and their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty red light. They were the infamous Shadow Demon Wolves.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen quickly stopped and stood back to back in a defensive posture. Yun Yao quickly formed seals with both hands and chanted something, instantly erecting a light blue spiritual shield around the two of them. The shadow demon wolves circled around the shield, continuously making sharp roars, and then launched a fierce attack. They spewed out black flames from their mouths, and the flames coiled around the shield like a spirit snake, causing the shield to flicker and sway.
Chu Mochen's eyes were stern, and he drew his sword from its sheath, with light surging on the sword. He shouted loudly and swung his sword to cut at the approaching shadow wolf. He was agile and his sword moves were sharp. Every sword move carried a powerful spiritual power fluctuation, and black mist scattered wherever he went. However, there were many shadow wolves, and their bodies were extremely hard. Although Chu Mochen's sword moves could repel them, it was difficult to cause fatal damage.
Yun Yao was watching the battle closely. She knew that if she continued like this, her spiritual power would be exhausted sooner or later. So, she took a deep breath, calmed down, mobilized her spiritual power, and cast a spell called "The Breeze Blowing the Willows". Soft green light shot out from her hands, like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, seemingly gentle but containing powerful power. The green light wrapped around the shadow wolf, making their movements slow down.
"Chu Mochen, attack their eyes!" Yun Yao shouted. Upon hearing this, Chu Mochen immediately changed his sword moves and focused on the eyes of the Shadow Wolf. With the close cooperation of the two, they finally succeeded in repelling the group of Shadow Wolf. But they did not dare to stop for a moment and continued to fly towards the direction of Lingxu Valley.
Along the way, they encountered several waves of monster attacks. There was a rock monster as big as a mountain, and every step it took on the ground could cause a strong earthquake; there was also a thunder eagle that could control lightning, it circled in the sky, and released powerful lightning attacks from time to time. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gradually adapted to the attack methods of these monsters in battle after battle. They supported and encouraged each other, constantly summed up their combat experience, and also found some skills to deal with different monsters.
After several days of difficult flight, they finally arrived at the edge of Lingxu Valley. Looking at the valley filled with mysterious mist, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were full of expectations, but also felt a little uneasy. They knew that the real challenge was coming.
At the entrance of Lingxu Valley, there was a strange spiritual flower growing. The flowers were shining with colorful light, but they also emitted a dizzying fragrance. Yun Yao cautiously cast a spell to isolate the fragrance, and then stepped into the valley carefully. As soon as they entered, they felt a strong pressure coming towards them, as if a pair of invisible hands were squeezing their bodies.
They walked slowly along a winding path. From time to time, some mysterious runes flashed on both sides of the road. The runes emitted a faint light, as if warning intruders. Suddenly, a huge formation appeared in front of them. The light flashed in the formation and the electric current ran wildly. Yun Yao carefully observed the formation and found that it was an ancient trap. If you force your way in, you will definitely be trapped in it.
She closed her eyes and, with the help of the system, began to analyze the flaws of the formation. After a moment, she opened her eyes and several talismans appeared in her hands. She attached the talismans to several key nodes of the formation in a specific order, and then used her spiritual power with Chu Mochen to inject it into the talismans. With a flash of dazzling light, the formation slowly dissipated.
As they went deeper, they heard a low roar, full of anger and majesty. Then, a huge guardian beast appeared in front of them. This guardian beast looked like a unicorn, but its body was covered with black scales, and it had a huge horn on its head, which flashed with black lightning. Its eyes were like two burning flames, staring at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were shocked. They knew that the guardian beast in front of them must be extremely powerful. But they had no way out and could only fight. Yun Yao quickly cast a spell and set up layer after layer of defensive barriers around them. Chu Mochen tightly grasped the long sword, and the spiritual power in his body was running wildly, and his whole body was emitting a dazzling light.
The guardian beast let out an earth-shaking roar and took the lead in attacking. The lightning on its horn rushed towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen like a dragon, and wherever it went, huge holes were blasted out on the ground. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen fought hard, but the power of the lightning was too strong, and their defensive barrier was broken in an instant. The two were blown away by the powerful force and fell heavily to the ground.
Yun Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stood up, her eyes revealing a trace of determination. She quickly formed seals with both hands and cast a powerful spell called "Sparks Spreading Across the Prairie". Countless sparks flew out of her hands and instantly gathered into a sea of fire, sweeping towards the guardian beast. The flames burned on the guardian beast, but it did not seem to be affected too much, instead it rushed towards Yun Yao with even more anger.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen shouted loudly and used his special move "Sword Breaking the Sky". He turned into a stream of light, merged with the long sword in his hand, and stabbed at the guardian beast. The long sword stabbed the scales of the guardian beast, splashing sparks, but still failed to penetrate.
At this critical moment, Yun Yao suddenly had an idea. She remembered a record about the use of spiritual power in the ancient books of the sect. She decided to take a risk. She closed her eyes, concentrated all her energy, and compressed the spiritual power in her body to the extreme. This process was extremely difficult, as if her body was about to burst, but Yun Yao persevered with her tenacious willpower.
When her spiritual power was compressed to the limit, she suddenly opened her eyes and pushed her hands forward. A powerful spiritual power shock wave that was as real as substance blasted towards the guardian beast. This force successfully repelled the guardian beast and also broke the restriction around the spiritual plant.
Yun Yao took the opportunity to rush to the spiritual plant, and saw that the Lingxu Holy Fruit was growing on a spiritual grass that was emitting a faint light. The fruit was crystal clear, like a crystal ball, and exuded an alluring fragrance. Yun Yao carefully picked the spiritual fruit and swallowed it without hesitation.
Instantly, a powerful spiritual power burst out from her body, surging through her meridians like a surging tide. Yun Yao hurriedly sat down and practiced the cultivation method, guiding the spiritual power to circulate in her meridians. Light flickered around her body, and the spiritual power fluctuations became stronger and stronger. After a hard refining, Yun Yao successfully broke through the bottleneck and advanced to the late stage of foundation building.
She stood up, feeling the surging spiritual power in her body, her heart filled with joy and confidence. Chu Mochen looked at her, and a gratified smile appeared on his face. After a short rest, the two left Lingxu Valley with a full harvest and flew towards the direction of the sect. They knew that there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future, but they were not afraid, because they believed that as long as they accompanied each other and worked together, they would be able to go further and further on this road of cultivation.
