Chapter 7 Breakthrough
The night is dark and the moon is as frosty as ice.
On Yuxu Peak, Ye Qingzhou took all the tools for menial work and thought about how to get to places like the Transmission Hall or the Sutra Library, or ask other people how they sensed the spiritual energy.
But Ye Qingzhou also knew that everyone in this world could practice cultivation. He was worried that if he asked questions about spiritual energy, it would bring him fatal disaster.
That old voice had warned him more than once that he must never reveal that he was not Ye Qingzhou, otherwise, he would not only be hunted down by the cultivators, but would also be rejected by the way of heaven.
He was thinking about these things in his mind, and before he knew it, he bumped into someone.
Ye Qingzhou only felt pain on his forehead. While covering his forehead, he wondered if he had not looked at the road and hit the tree.
However, when he raised his eyes, he found that what he saw in front of him was not a strong tree trunk, but a beautiful woman, and he knew this woman.
"Elder Jian."
Ye Qingzhou suppressed all the curse words in his heart, bowed to Jian An Ning with a smile on his face. Anyone who came would think that he was a very good-tempered person.
Jian An Ning never pays too much attention to strangers, even those who are from the Qingyun Sect.
So she just nodded slightly to Ye Qingzhou and went to look for Zhao Tan on her own.
Ye Qingzhou's smile almost shattered.
He thought, why should he be ignored like this?
Those high-ranking cultivators were merely higher in cultivation than him. If one day he cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage, he would definitely trample these people under his feet and let them taste the feeling of being ignored.
The evil thoughts that had inadvertently grown in his heart flowed freely like mud.
However, Ye Qingzhou did not notice.
He just continued walking towards his residence as planned, and called out to the old voice that had been disconnected for a long time in his heart.
But the voice still sounded like death, which made Ye Qingzhou feel annoyed.
He walked to a deserted place, threw the chores in his hand aside, hid behind the protruding rock wall of the mountain, and sulked. Twisted and dark thoughts almost filled his entire mind.
Until, suddenly, someone found this secluded place and said, "Are you Ye Qingzhou?"
Ye Qingzhou was slightly stunned. Before he could completely retract the distorted expression on his face, his habitual smile had already appeared, forming a rather ugly smile.
He saw Jian Anning, who was dressed in blue, frowning slightly, and asked again, "What are you hiding here for?"
Jian An Ning had already gone to find Zhao Tan and learned from him that the Ye Qingzhou in the book not only existed, but had even become a disciple of Yuxu Peak.
So she asked Zhao Tan for the jade slip that contained Ye Qingzhou's breath, and then she used the spell to find him and found him here.
"I just happened to pass this road on my way back to my residence." Ye Qingzhou was worried for himself. He never thought that anyone would find him at this time, so he could only make up for himself urgently.
However, Jian Anning frowned even more tightly. She looked past Ye Qingzhou and looked into the distance. She saw that behind him was either a bottomless abyss or endless mountains. There was no road at all.
However, when she looked away, she saw all the miscellaneous items thrown to the ground by Ye Qingzhou.
Jian Anning's expression revealed understanding, and then she said, "So you haven't drawn the Qi into your body, and you're still a mortal?"
Ye Qingzhou thought, it would be fine if Jian An Ning ignored him, but how could she stab him in the heart as soon as she saw him?
"yes."
He almost used a lot of strength to prevent the word "yes" from sounding bitter.
And Jane Anning was also recalling the contents of the book.
The book said that Ye Qingzhou had a rare physique for spiritual cultivation in the world, and his way of cultivating immortals was different from that of other people, so he could not sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and could not practice, so he was looked down upon and despised by others.
He needs an opportunity to meet the mysterious ancient remnant soul and be taught the method of spiritual cultivation before he can start normal practice.
Jane Anning scoffed at this.
According to the plot in the book, Ye Qingzhou is still unable to practice at this moment.
So, she stretched out her hand towards Ye Qingzhou and said, "Give me your hand."
Although Ye Qingzhou had doubts, he still did as he was told.
The next moment, an extremely powerful spiritual power penetrated directly into his meridians, like a dragon entering the sea, wandering around every corner of his meridians, opening up all the stagnant blood points.
Ye Qingzhou only felt that he had entered a mysterious realm. He seemed to be between heaven and earth, and seemed to be omnipresent, like a breeze caressing across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
He was almost completely lost in this state.
At this time, Jane Anning's voice was heard.
"Wake up and absorb the spiritual energy into your Dantian."
Ye Qingzhou suddenly woke up, and the spiritual energy flowed into his meridians from the reopened acupoints, and he practiced his skills along the path that the spiritual energy had washed over and over again.
After one week, a drop of spiritual energy flowed into his dantian for the first time.
The powerful spiritual power suddenly left, and Ye Qingzhou suddenly opened his eyes.
Jian Anning's face was expressionless, showing no joy or anger. She simply said in a businesslike tone, "Your innate meridians are blocked. You need to use spiritual power to clear them before you can practice on your own."
"This process is neither difficult nor difficult. If I hadn't come today, you would have been able to break through the blockage on your own one day in the future. It would just take longer."
"And the reason I came here is simply because I discovered that you have some connection with my disciple."
Jian An Ning left right after she finished speaking, without even giving Ye Qingzhou a chance to thank her.
Ye Qingzhou was left alone, looking at himself in a daze, thinking: So he has managed to draw the Qi into his body?
Does that mean I don’t have to be that damn chores person anymore and can become an outer disciple?
A huge joy swept over Ye Qingzhou's body. He threw all the servants' belongings off the cliff and ran quickly to Yuxu Peak.
Jian An Ning did not see Ye Qingzhou's excitement. She was still thinking about Fan Qingyue who was in seclusion in her cave.
She had already sensed the abnormality in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and her eldest disciple's breakthrough was just around the corner.
On Yuxuan Peak.
Thick dark clouds began to gather here from all directions, isolating Yuxuan Peak into another world.
The strong wind shook the lush trees, thunder resounded across the earth, and purple-gold electric snakes continued to surge in the clouds.
The next major realm after the great perfection of the foundation-building stage is the golden elixir stage. This breakthrough is different from all the previous ones.
Because from then on, the cultivator can truly feel a trace of the Tao hidden in the world, and also begin to have the opportunity to vaguely realize the way of heaven and destiny.
Therefore, in order to test the cultivator's determination to pursue the Tao, the Heavenly Dao will send down thunder tribulations.
Jian An Ning was thinking when she suddenly felt something, and she sent an electric snake as thick as her wrist straight towards her cave.
Jane Anning's heart skipped a beat.
The next moment, several electric snakes fell on her cave like a torrential rain.
No matter how strong the defensive formation was, it could not withstand the torment of thunder. With a flash of light, the defensive formation she had set up was shattered into pieces.
Without the protection of the formation, those ordinary stones and wood were no match for the thunder and turned into ashes in an instant.
Seeing that her cave was completely destroyed, Jian An Ning quickened her pace.
Amidst the ruins, behind the smoke and dust, a figure was seen sitting cross-legged in meditation.
That person was none other than Fan Qingyue, who had safely survived the thunder tribulation.
He seemed to sense Jane An Ning coming and opened his eyes.
Even his slightly embarrassed appearance could not conceal his excitement at the moment. He excitedly said to Jian An Ning, "Master, I have broken through to the Golden Core Stage!"
Jian An Ning smiled and nodded, like every gentle master in the storybook, she gently patted Fan Qingyue's shoulder and said, "Well done."
Fan Qingyue didn't show any of his usual calmness at this moment, instead he was as happy as a teenager.
"But, where will I live in the future?"
Eh?
He saw that Jian An Ning's smile remained unchanged, but for some reason, he felt that his master's aura had become terrifying.
Fan Qingyue suddenly shuddered, and saw Jian Anning, who had just pretended to be a decent person, collapsed to the ground, as if seriously injured. He said weakly, "My cave..."
Only then did Fan Qingyue remember to look around.
He remembered that he seemed to have seized the opportunity to break through when his master was giving him special training. He should have been in his master's cave.
And before his eyes, the thunderbolt flattened an area of Yuxuan Peak, leaving only rubble all over the mountain.
"Master, I..." Fan Qingyue was suddenly speechless.
"Forget it, Master doesn't blame you." Although he said this, Jian An Ning had no intention of getting up from the ground. "I only hope that you can do your best in the upcoming competition, so that the cave dwelling will not be in vain."
How could Fan Qingyue refuse? Having just achieved a breakthrough, he was still feeling quite high-spirited, so he patted his chest and promised Jian Anning, "I will definitely take first place in the Early Golden Core Stage!"
Jian An Ning was deeply relieved and reminded him, "You are already a Golden Elixir, so you must know that you can't make vows carelessly."
"But what you just said doesn't count as an oath."
Fan Qingyue naturally thanked his master for his teachings, and then went back to think about the tactics he should adopt in the sect competition.
It was not until Fan Qingyue left completely that Jian An Ning stood up again, looking down at the thing she had just pressed under her with an expressionless face.
It was a thread-bound book that she was very familiar with, with the four big words "The Road to Becoming a God" written on the cover.
Jian An Ning hesitated for a moment, but still picked it up, thinking: How come the thunder can't break this broken book into pieces?
She thought about it for a while and felt that such a dangerous and strange book should not be thrown around, so she put the book in her arms and went to where her other disciple was.
Tonight, the thunder on Yuxuan Peak continues, and the lightning snakes are like tides.
This is not only because Fan Qingyue successfully broke through, but also because Jian An Ning's second disciple Jiang Tan, who has been in seclusion for a long time, seems to have reached the time to come out.
