Chapter 51: Enlightenment As expected, as soon as the battle started, there was gold...
Sure enough, as soon as the battle started, a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator immediately jumped onto the stage to challenge Wei Mubai and others.
Xu Hui originally thought that at the beginning he would be a relatively weak early Jindan cultivator who wanted to join the Wei family just to go through the motions or to test his skills.
The stronger cultivators would probably wait until Wei Mubai could no longer hold on, and then challenge him. This way they would have a chance to defeat him and successfully ascend to become one of the top ten.
However, things went beyond her expectations. The first person to go on stage was the one who received Wei Mubai's ring number plate and was the strongest one.
But then she understood that the other party did this because he was confident that he could defeat Wei Mubai, and wanted to buy more time for himself, defeat more opponents, and improve his ranking.
However, he was really overthinking it. Even though he was at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage, and Wei Mubai was only at the Middle Golden Core Stage, he could not catch the sword moves he made.
The monk who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stretched out his body and leaped onto the arena like an eagle catching a rabbit. The atmosphere in the entire arena instantly became extremely tense.
The sunlight shone on his stern face, reflecting an unquestionable determination.
Holding a pitch-black long sword that emitted a faint cold glow, the tip of the sword lightly tapped the ground, making a crisp sound, as if declaring war on Wei Mubai.
Wei Mubai stood in the center of the ring, his clothes fluttering and his expression calm. He was not moved by this sudden powerful enemy.
He slowly drew out the long sword from his waist. The sword body exuded a warm jade-like luster, forming a sharp contrast with the opponent's cold black sword.
The air was filled with a tense atmosphere as two powerful spiritual energy fluctuations collided in the air, causing ripples visible to the naked eye.
"Wei Mubai, I know you have already comprehended the sword intent. Today, I will use my Golden Elixir Great Perfection state to experience your power!" The cultivator shouted in a deep voice. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure turned into a residual shadow and attacked Wei Mubai with overwhelming force.
Wei Mubai looked calm, and with a light move, he easily avoided the opponent's fierce attack.
Then, his body suddenly rose up, like a dragon emerging from the sea, with sword lights flashing like weaving. Every sword was precise and deadly, aiming directly at the opponent's vital points.
Although the Jindan Daquan cultivator was strong, he was stretched to the limit in front of Wei Mu's superb swordsmanship and could only passively defend.
Sword lights intertwined, the sound of metal clashing was endless, and the entire arena seemed to be shrouded in invisible sword energy.
Xu Hui held her breath and concentrated. Such a wonderful battle scene was hard to see in the previous melee.
At that time, the ten people were crushing each other with their strength, and their moves were so powerful that they left no room for maneuver, which was not very entertaining to watch.
Unlike this time, Wei Mubai wanted to conserve his strength and keep his spiritual energy flowing to deal with the challenges ahead, so he held back in his fight and didn't unleash it all directly.
In this way, she can see more clearly the sword skills and sword intent he displays, which is very useful for Xu Hui and she can learn a lot.
His eyes followed every move of the two figures, afraid of missing any exciting moment.
Suddenly, Wei Mubai paused, lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his sword, and used the force to soar into the air. His whole body seemed to merge into the sword light, turning into a dazzling sword light, piercing the opponent's chest.
The monk was horrified and hurriedly swung his sword to block, but it was too late. With a loud "bang", the sword light penetrated his defense like lightning, knocking him flying and falling heavily on the edge of the ring.
When the dust settled, Wei Mubai sheathed his sword, still looking calm and composed.
The cultivator was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect that he was at a higher level than the other realms, but he couldn't even hold on for half an incense stick of time.
Wei Mubai is so strong, so strong that it is scary!
He let out a breath of foul air unwillingly, "I give up." Then he left the ring.
The second person to come on stage was also a Jindan Great Perfection. He learned from the previous experience and did not rush to confront Wei Mubai head-on. Instead, he skillfully used magic, formations and talismans to find a chance of victory in this battle.
He just flashed around and had several more talisman papers in his hands. These talismans were colorful, and each one contained different spiritual power fluctuations.
As he quickly formed seals with his hands, the talisman papers moved without wind and flew around him, forming a gorgeous sea of talisman papers.
With a low shout, the ocean of talisman paper suddenly erupted, transforming into streams of spiritual power that intertwined into a huge spiritual power net, covering Wei Mubai.
At the same time, the ground began to vibrate, and faint lines of formation patterns emerged, echoing with the spiritual power network in the air, forming a complete trapping formation.
Wei Mubai just took a look, then lightly tapped the air with the tip of his sword, and a powerful sword intent burst out, soaring into the sky.
The sword light was like a dragon, with the power to destroy the world, it tore open the spiritual power net and rushed straight towards the cultivator.
Upon seeing this, the monk's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated the remaining talismans and formations to resist.
But Wei Mubai's sword intent was too powerful, and those talismans and formations were shattered under the sword light, and could not stop it at all.
In the end, the sword light was like lightning, penetrating the monk's defense and going straight to his vital point.
The monk's body swayed, his eyes full of disbelief, and then he fell powerlessly on the ring, completely losing his fighting ability.
The first two lost so easily that the third hesitated but still went on stage.
This time it was even faster, and they were defeated in just a quarter of an hour.
Then the fourth, the fifth... a steady stream of monks came on stage and fought for several days and nights. The whole venue was shrouded in a thick atmosphere of battle.
Those who had not originally planned to join the Wei family were also infected by the atmosphere. They looked at him with respect and went on stage to challenge him.
More and more people were defeated by Wei Mubai, and the number has now reached the hundred level.
With so many Jindan stage cultivators, the Wei family can be said to have reaped a great harvest this time!
Currently, he is ahead of the others, even a few more than Mu Yuan.
But Wei Mubai's face was as pale as paper, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and every breath seemed extremely heavy.
Although his eyes were still firm, there was a hint of imperceptible fatigue and weakness in them.
Although he relied on his amazing willpower and powerful strength to repel his opponents time and time again, the long period of continuous fighting still brought his physical and spiritual strength to the limit.
Xu Hui even discovered that his sword-holding hand had slight spasms due to long-term continuous fighting and the massive consumption of spiritual energy. Although the trembling was small, it hit her heart like a heavy hammer.
This is, I am so tired!
But there is still an endless stream of people coming up to challenge him, and there are endless people who are trying to take advantage of the situation, hoping to take the opportunity to defeat him and take his place!
Even if you are the last one in the top ten, you can get a lot of rewards. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
What's more, this is a good opportunity to humiliate the chosen one in a fair and open manner, and there are always people with dark intentions.
How long can Wei Mubai hold on? How much longer does he need to hold on?
This is an unknown!
Time passed by bit by bit, Wei Mubai was already extremely tired. Anyone who saw him could understand that he had reached his limit!
Every breath was so difficult and heavy, and the chest rose and fell violently, as if every intake of air was an extreme challenge to vitality.
Sweat was like beads that had broken off the string, continuously sliding down his forehead, soaking his clothes, and intertwining with the salt stains condensed on his body.
The whole body was shaky and standing became a luxury.
This was the first time Xu Hui saw him in such a miserable state. Even in the Quinine Cave, where his soul was injured, he had never been like this.
But she did not think that Wei Mubai was in a mess at this moment, but rather a kind of gorgeous beauty, beautiful to the extreme, as if she could see an unyielding soul that would never retreat and would always move forward!
To be honest, she was infected and wanted to rush out and fight someone for three hundred rounds.
But she held back and stared at the person standing on the stage.
One, two, three... one Jindan cultivator after another came on stage. Wei Mubai kept persisting, not giving up, not retreating, and defeating one opponent after another.
Sweat blurred his vision, but his eyes were never distracted and were always fixed on his opponent.
Xu Hui's eyes were also on his opponent, and she couldn't even spare the attention to look at the situation in other arenas.
Now, it doesn’t matter what those people are like!
Wei Mubai’s opponent is not others, not Mu Yuan and Lei Xiao, and certainly not Yi Qingxue, but only himself, only himself!
He is breaking his own limits with his tenacious will, surpassing and surpassing again!
The road ahead is endless, and he is surpassing his own limits step by step!
Excellent qualifications and countless resources are just external things, which are not enough to make him grow to such a level at such a young age.
What really makes these geniuses stand out is their rock-hard will and their determination to push themselves to the limit.
Xu Hui suddenly felt that it was ridiculous for her to worry that Wei Mubai could not modify the pill formula.
She trapped herself in three years. In fact, Wei Mubai did this not only for that secret realm, but also for a longer-term future.
If he could modify the recipes of the top-grade rejuvenation pill and qi-replenishing pill, he would be able to modify the recipes of other pills.
This is not a one-time attempt, but a continuous improvement of myself.
He is a sword cultivator, and also an alchemy cultivator!
The sword is his means of protecting himself and guarding his family, but alchemy is his true way!
So no matter how difficult it is, we must face it head-on. If it fails ten thousand times, what about a million times or tens of millions of times? Is there anything that cannot be done?
In the way of the sword, he can be so persistent, pushing himself to the limit again and again. In the way of the alchemy, he will only work harder!
Xu Hui closed her eyes, and a door in her heart seemed to be opened, and all her doubts and anxieties dissipated with the wind.
She realized that her previous worries were nothing more than fear of the difficulties visible to the naked eye and her lack of understanding of Wei Mubai's character.
A truly strong person is never afraid of challenges, and will climb to the top endlessly, without stopping or hesitating, and will move forward courageously!
She opened her eyes, and there was a strange light in them.
What Wei Mubai pursues is not just the secret realm or elixir improvement in front of him, but the infinite exploration of his own limits and the ultimate pursuit of Tao.
So what about her? What is her way?
Become stronger?
No, this is not her way!
It’s about living, living seriously and wonderfully, and not living in vain!
She has died once, death is no big deal!
And living is the whole meaning of life. No matter how she lives, as long as it is the way she wants to live, it is the best life and the most ultimate way!
Her path is never about the future, nor about a distant ascension, but about every day now!
There is a modern saying: If you live today as if it were the day before the end of the world, what would you do?
Xu Hui’s answer was very rich. Maybe it was to complete an unfulfilled wish, or it could be to just relax and have a day. As long as she is happy, that is all that matters!
Thinking of this, Xu Hui opened her eyes, and her state of mind became purer and more resilient, as if she had been reborn.
She found her own way, which is to live every day wonderfully and do whatever she wants to do!
Now, she is willing to spend three years to cultivate all the necessary medicinal materials and wholeheartedly help Wei Mubai achieve the feat of modifying the pill formula.
Nothing is worth it, just do it because she is happy!
