Turns Out I Really Am The Protagonist

The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...

Chapter 200 Body Refinement and Marrow Cleansing

To date, there is still no news about her being released from quarantine.

However, Li Sisui's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. No matter how much he tried to comprehend and guide himself at night, his cultivation level remained stagnant at the Initial Stage of the Harmony Realm, without any increase.

Now, Li Sisui's entire body can be enveloped in a veil of light. Moreover, the veil of light is almost tangible, clearly indicating that it has reached the maximum saturation level that can be absorbed at this stage.

Li Sisui was like a magnet; his body had already attracted enough high-energy vibrating photons, and there was no longer enough gravity to pull in more photons.

If one wants to advance further in cultivation, one must enter the Pulse stage.

However, entering the Pulse stage is by no means easy. It requires not only profound cultivation but also high physical fitness and perseverance.

If one cannot withstand prolonged photon infusion, at best one will fail to break through and fall in realm, at worst one will suffer damage to their meridians and die from self-destruction.

Li Sisui originally wanted to wait for Su Qingyu to come out of seclusion so he could ask her for advice on some things to keep in mind when breaking through, but Su Qingyu hadn't made any move yet.

He couldn't just sit idly by and wait, after all, there was someone in the inner sect who was always watching him with predatory eyes. To sit and wait for death was not Li Sisui's style.

The ancient texts did not provide a clear description, only vaguely mentioning that the pain during a breakthrough is unbearable for ordinary people and that one must make the necessary preparations. However, they did not elaborate on what those preparations should be.

Moreover, the classic texts emphasize the importance of choosing the right place for a breakthrough, stressing that one must not be disturbed during the breakthrough, as this could easily lead to qi deviation and the severing of meridians.

The main purpose of entering the pulsation stage is to use photons to enter the meridians and cleanse the body, thereby strengthening the body and bones, and refining the tendons and marrow.

Furthermore, it can store high-energy vibrational photons in the meridians and blood, and instantly unleash them when needed, making it not only flexible and versatile, but also unaffected by environmental factors.

The initial stage has high requirements for the environment; if there are no usable photons in the surrounding environment, you will not be able to exert your power.

To use a vivid analogy, the photons in the initial stage are shared by all cultivators. As long as photons exist in the surrounding area, a veil of light can be condensed.

Once the pulsation stage is reached, these photons are imprinted with your personal mark when they enter your meridians and blood, and can only be used by you. They will no longer be unable to function due to the lack of photons around them.

For cultivators, this stage of advancement can be described as a qualitative leap. The Pulse Stage is also the first watershed on the path of cultivation, and it is also the most dangerous watershed. If one fails to cross it, one may even lose their life.

Li Sisui wasn't entirely confident either. After consulting numerous ancient texts, he began to hesitate, as his life was at stake and he couldn't afford to be careless.

However, Li Sisui is now in a rather awkward situation, caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to advance or retreat. After careful consideration, he decided to make a breakthrough in his own residence!

If he doesn't break through, his cultivation advantage will be useless, and the dark spots on his face could spread again at any time due to the stagnation of his cultivation.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to go all in and break through with the determination to succeed or die trying.

At noon that day, Li Sisui set up his stance at his residence, preparing to make a breakthrough.

Three emerald green sacred fruits were laid out in front of him, and a delicate fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating Li Sisui.

The reason for choosing this time is that almost all the clansmen are cultivating outside the cave at noon, and during this time, they will hardly be disturbed by any clansmen.

However, due to the scarcity of photons inside the cave, Li Sisui had to go outside first and, under the midday sun, immerse his entire body in photons before returning to his residence to begin his breakthrough.

He was originally full of confidence and ready to start guiding the photons gathered outside his body according to the requirements of the cultivation manual, but when he saw the three vine fruits placed in front of him, he suddenly hesitated.

I only remember the woman in green instructing me to take it when the breakthrough pulse was activated, but she didn't specify whether to take it before or during the breakthrough.

What was Li Sisui supposed to do?

Although I know how precious the three sacred fruits are, I don't know where to start eating them. Is there a special way to consume the sacred fruits?

Now that the arrow is on the bowstring, if we give up halfway through today, we don't know when we will have the courage to break through again.

Since that's the case, let's just get it over with quickly. Li Si casually reached out and threw the three Sacred Fruits of the Vine into his mouth.

It was refreshingly cool upon entry, with juice flowing freely and a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth. But then Li Sisui noticed something was amiss.

After swallowing this cool liquid, I immediately felt as if a raging fire had ignited in my stomach, like I had downed a bottle of liquor.

The burning sensation was more than ten times stronger than that of the liquor. Li Sisui felt his stomach begin to cramp and ache, and the pain became increasingly intense.

This left Li Sisui, who hadn't even had a chance to start following the cultivation formula, somewhat bewildered. Shouldn't he take it now?

How come it's completely different from the descriptions in classical texts?

How did a few sacred fruits turn into gunpowder after being eaten?

Li Sisui originally wanted to break through step by step, but before he even started, all sorts of problems arose. He didn't expect that it would be completely out of his control right from the start. What should he do next?

Suddenly, a furious shout rang in my mind:

"Why are you courting death again!"

This angry shout startled Li Sisui quite a bit. If his whole body hadn't become numb and unable to move, Li Sisui would probably have jumped up in fright.

"Who is speaking?"

Looking at the empty space in front of him, Li Sisui could only whisper in a doubtful tone, but now he couldn't even move his lips. These words echoed in Li Sisui's mind.
