Li Sisui arrived at the edge of the cliff. It was noon, and the sunlight poured down on him as if it were real.
Li Si casually picked up a hollowed-out leaf, closed his eyes, and meditated.
If someone were beside Li Sisui at this moment, they would notice that the black spot on his left cheek seemed to come alive when he was cultivating, expanding and shrinking with each breath, its black color changing from dark to light.
Li Si closed his eyes and began to meditate, as if he were in a bright light. Gradually, he discovered that within this boundless light, there were several brighter points of light that were gradually gathering towards him. Waves of intimate vibrations came from him, like a child returning to his mother's embrace after a long journey.
Li Sisui was both surprised and delighted. According to Master Ma's explanation, this was the "initial movement" stage mentioned in the cultivation manual. Could it be that he had finally stepped into the threshold of cultivation and reached the initial movement stage?
Upon further reflection, I recalled Elder Ma's dying words: "I will exchange my life for your beginning!"
It seems that I was able to enter the most basic stage of cultivation, the initial stage, thanks to Elder Ma's selfless sacrifice.
Master Ma's original cultivation level was at the Initial Stage of the Harmony Realm, but when it was transferred to me, it started from zero all at once.
Regardless, I have finally embarked on the path of cultivation.
The path of cultivation is one of defying the heavens.
Li Sisui sensed the faint starlight in his surroundings. As long as he persisted and continuously gathered these starlight points around him, feeling the explosive potential hidden in each starlight, Li Sisui also felt a sense of longing.
Recalling the day when the Cloud Piercer was adorned with wings of light and moved with unrestrained grace, I realized that I also had the opportunity to fly freely. In addition, there was the path to immortality that Elder Ma kept repeating and envying. Could this be the real benefit of time travel?
Li Sisui kept his eyes closed and focused on the sunset. Although he could sense that there were only a few photons around him, these photons were like sparks that would ignite a wildfire in the future!
As the year drew to a close, Li Sisui, since breaking through to the initial stage, devoted all his time, except for his work in the outer sect, to cultivation, almost to the point of neglecting sleep and food day and night.
Fortunately, after reaching the initial stage, the entire cultivation process became easier, and there was no longer a need to hold up the hollowed-out leaves to comprehend the essence.
Gradually, Li Sisui discovered that when he closed his eyes to comprehend, he was actually just guiding a photon closer to him through his mental power.
However, during the guidance process, other photons in the surrounding area also inexplicably responded and gradually moved closer to it.
However, this responsive approach distance is quite different from proactive guidance.
However, this alone was enough to surprise Li Sisui. Originally, he could only operate in a single thread, but now it was like multi-threading, which would greatly increase his cultivation speed.
By guiding high-energy vibrating photons, which are invisible to the naked eye, closer to the body through mental effort, they gradually form a veil of light that is visible to the naked eye. This is simply a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
It's hard to imagine how many high-energy vibrating photons you would need to guide to achieve this breakthrough from the microscopic to the macroscopic level.
The path of cultivation is indeed not something that ordinary people can accomplish with their best efforts. Not only do they need extraordinary talent, but also unwavering perseverance.
Li Sisui bathed in sunlight every day, trying to comprehend the world with his heart, but he barely managed to reach the initial stage of clarity.
However, according to the cultivation manual, the requirement to reach the initial stage of the Pure Realm is to sense high-energy vibrating photons within a radius of five meters centered on oneself.
If your perception radius exceeds five meters, then you have undoubtedly reached the initial stage of the Pure Realm.
However, after trying it out, Li Sisui found that his perception radius was conservatively estimated to be more than ten meters away, and he didn't know how to explain it.
Although cultivation is common in external sects, most people are at the beginner level, so they have to figure out some cultivation problems on their own without any reference.
Moreover, Li Sisui discovered that the cultivation incantation on the hollowed-out leaves only described a general scene, and the specific details were somewhat vague, which was very troublesome. Li Sisui could only proceed cautiously, taking it one step at a time.
That day, Li Sisui woke up early, before dawn. Other members of the outer clan, like Li Sisui, had already gathered in the square outside the Beehive Cave.
Because this day is the last day of the year, which is called "year's end" in the Tu language.
On this day, except for those who are in seclusion and ill, all other members of the clan, regardless of whether they are from the inner or outer sects, need to gather together to hold a long-standing and meaningful festival.
Every member of the tribe got up early, put on their best clothes, and gathered in front of the square.
The Naejong clan members cleared out a space on the top of Naejong Mountain early in the morning, facing the sunrise.
A high platform for sacrificial ceremonies is built from various trees, and the altar is filled with all kinds of fine food such as melons, fruits, meat, and eggs.
After inserting the incense sticks, they returned to the queue. All of this work had to be completed before dawn.
As a glimmer of light appeared amidst the hazy darkness of the sky, everyone was filled with excitement; it was a sign of the approaching sunrise.
Immediately afterwards, the billowing clouds rose up like water droplets on a hot pan.
Suddenly, as if a sharp sword had torn through the clouds, a beam of sunlight shone out from the tear, its light falling upon the world like rain and mist.
The sun, like a round, orange-red yolk, climbed onto the horizon, bathing the entire land of China in light, and a new day began!
As the sun rises, the members of the inner clan begin to burn incense, and the year-end ancestral worship ceremony begins.
Those outside the sect could only listen to the admonitions silently in the square at the foot of the mountain.
Meanwhile, atop the mountain, the members of the inner sect, as the incense smoke rose, joined hands and stood shoulder to shoulder, following a peculiar rhythm, and began to dance in an orderly fashion, like a dragon wagging its tail.
