Gu Ting nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. I've been at the Ninth Level Spiritual Master level for over half a year. During this time, I've been trying to grasp the opportunity to break through to the Spiritual Lord level, but no matter what, I can't feel even a hint of it. This is very distressing to me. In the meantime, I've also consulted some elders in the family who have reached the Spiritual King level. But I can clearly feel that feeling when they talk about it, but when it comes to me, I can't feel that hint of a breakthrough. Maybe my own strength hasn't reached the requirements for a breakthrough yet. For the past six months, I've been trying to comprehend the opportunity to break through to the Spiritual Lord level, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to accomplish this. However, this trip to the oasis has benefited me a lot. I feel that I can already feel that hint of an opportunity. After accompanying you to the Mu family this time, I want to return to the family for seclusion. I'll come out when I break through to the Spiritual Lord level."
Gu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry. You've only been at the Ninth Level Spiritual Master realm for over half a year. This is perfectly normal. If you were to break through in just half a year, that would be a bit unusual. Don't be too anxious. If you're too anxious, you might become too eager for quick success, which will delay your breakthrough. Don't dwell on a breakthrough all the time. Being too anxious will only make you mentally exhausted. Just let it go and let nature take its course when you break through. This way, you'll be able to break through to the Spiritual Master realm even faster."
"Yes, you're absolutely right. Some time ago, I was constantly thinking about how to break through, but I couldn't grasp even a tiny opportunity. If I had, I would have already reached the Spirit Master realm. During this trip to the oasis, I didn't even think about breaking through. I had already calmed down a bit. Then, when I killed the Golden-Eyed Tiger, I felt a slight shift in my mindset, a sense of clarity. At that time, I had grasped a hint of a breakthrough, and after completing the family mission, that feeling intensified. That's why I said I'd return to seclusion after accompanying you to the Mu family. I believe I'll definitely be able to break through to the Spirit Master realm this time, because I feel I've grasped the opportunity, and the time has come for a breakthrough."
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "That's good. It's a good thing that you can break through. Breaking through to the Spirit Master realm is like entering the world of true cultivators. You will face more things. The higher your strength, the more difficult it will be to improve it in the future. I hope you can stick to your heart in the future. You have the Gu family as your backing, no matter what, your achievements should not be limited to this. After breaking through to the Spirit Master realm, you must also practice humbly and not be careless. Reaching the Spirit King realm as soon as possible is your pursuit."
Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan. It was obvious that Gu Yuan was reminding her not to slack off in her cultivation. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Gu Yuan. I will definitely practice hard. I am the one who is competing for the qualification of the heir to the family patriarch. Although my current strength is not high and my ranking among the younger generations in the family is not high, I will work hard to break through to the Spirit Master realm as soon as possible, and then move on to the Spirit King realm. After all, if I want to win that qualification, I must improve my strength. I will definitely work hard without you saying it. Without strength, I am nothing in the family. Even if I am a lady in the family, I can... Without strength, I'm nothing. The elders wouldn't even look at me with admiration; instead, they'd look down on me. I'm the daughter of a wealthy family, yet I'm not even as good as some of the children from the side branches. I don't want to be criticized like that, so I'll definitely practice diligently. And the same goes for you. After this trip to the Mu family, we don't know when we'll see each other again. I feel like your talent is much stronger than mine. I hope you'll practice diligently in the future, strive to break through to the Spirit Master realm, and then further towards the Spirit King realm. Let's work hard together and encourage each other."
Gu Yuan nodded slightly. Gu Ting was right. After this trip to the Mu family, they didn't know if they would ever meet again. Gu Yuan was about to begin his wandering life in this world. From now on, he would return to a solitary life. No friends would be by his side, no one would talk to him anymore, and he would have to travel back and forth in this world alone.
However, Gu Yuan has always been a person who can endure loneliness, so he is not worried about these things. What he is most worried about is that he can't find Shui Yaoyao's whereabouts.
Time seemed to pass very quickly in the carriage, and the whole day was gone in a flash.
The carriage gradually stopped. Gu Ting opened the surveyor to look at the familiar environment outside and said with a smile, "Okay, we're almost there. Get ready to get off."
After opening the curtain, Gu Yuan and Gu Ting got out of the carriage. Gu Yuan looked up and saw a towering city not far away in front of him.
Everything you see is black. The city walls are dozens of meters high. The entire wall is made of huge black stones, which looks quite majestic.
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Ting and asked, "Is this Gumo City? It looks so imposing!"
Gu Ting smiled and replied, "Yes, this is Gumo City. Although it's not as large as Sand City, its bustle is incomparable to Sand City. After all, this is the outside world."
Gu Yuan breathed in the fresh air here. The ground under his feet was no longer yellow sand, and the surrounding environment was no longer the endless earth color, but was replaced by green trees and towering trees.
Breathing in the fresh air, Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile. After spending so much time in the desert, he finally realized how beautiful the environment outside was and how fresh the air was. Breathing in the fresh air, Gu Yuan no longer felt the burning sensation in the air.
Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and asked, "Okay, let's go into the city now. Both our Gu and Mu families are in this city."
Gu Yuan nodded, feeling calm. Coming to such an unfamiliar environment, he didn't feel strange with Gu Ting's company.
After Gu Ting entered Gumo City, she asked, "Do you want to rest here for a while before heading to the Mu family?"
Gu Yuan thought about it and nodded. After staying in the carriage for a whole day, it would be better to rest up.
