Along the way, Shen Lu's mind was full of these things. He knew that his strength was too poor to deal with what came next.

There is no one in the Jade Emperor City today who can be trusted, not even Qu Xuanzong.

And the saddest thing is that his breakthrough task is: to get the mana assistance of a master above the Dacheng realm.

What is mana aid? It means to let the other party input mana into their own qi sea to help them break through the bottleneck.

However, to do so would be to temporarily entrust one's life to another.

Shen Lu had thought about asking Qu Xuanzong to help, but Shen Lu really didn't dare to take this risk. Qu Xuanzong has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and what Qu Xuanzong is thinking in his heart, Shen Lu will never be able to guess.

Although he could temporarily trust Qu Xuanzong and reach an alliance with him, Shen Lu would never be stupid enough to completely entrust his net worth and life to this person.

Qu Xuanzong is not trustworthy, so the rest of the people are naturally even less trustworthy.

And the few people that Shen Lu trusted very much were not too strong, and none of them had reached the Dacheng realm.

Therefore, Shen Lu has been stuck in the breakthrough mission and cannot enter the realm of Chengjing.

In fact, if Shen Lu cultivates hard and proceeds according to the method of ordinary people to break through, he actually has a chance to enter the realm of success. But Shen Lu really didn't like to cultivate according to traditional methods, and it was better for him to do tasks.

After thinking about it, Shen Lu finally had only one choice: Ah Yun, a strange beast wandering cloud beast.

After this Wandering Cloud Beast was tamed by Shen Lu, it received the bonus of Shen Lu's five-star beast tamer, and its strength seemed to have reached the terrifying level of the sevenfold level of the Dacheng Realm.

But to use all his strength, Ayun must return to his original appearance. If you restore your original appearance at will and be presumptuous in the Jade Emperor City, it will definitely cause panic, which will lead to the culling of the imperial court and even the four major families.

Back then, the Wandering Cloud Beast was regarded as a thorn in the side of Changge City just because it caught other strange beasts in the mountains in the distance to heal its wounds. It is conceivable that if the Wandering Cloud Beast dares to be presumptuous in the Jade Emperor City, the consequences must also be the end of being strangled collectively.

Therefore, although the Wandering Cloud Beast is powerful, it does not mean that Shen Lu is powerful. In order to deal with the dangers that may occur in the future, Shen Lu must make a breakthrough for himself.

Then there is only one solution left: let Ah Yun help him use mana assistance, and rely on his mana to break through to the realm.

But it's extremely dangerous to do so. The mana of alien beasts and humans is actually a completely different thing, and the primitive wildness contained in the mana of alien beasts is a very difficult thing to control. Just as Xu Wenrui absorbed Coco's mana back then, he became a half-human, half-cat, and almost went crazy, if Shen Lu relied on Ah Yun's mana to become stronger, he knew what sequelae would be.

Shen Lu had long wanted to break through this boundary, and he had long thought of asking Ah Yun to help, but it was precisely because he was afraid of any sequelae that he had never dared to take this risk, after all, he didn't need Shen Lu to improve much strength before.

And this time, I can't help it.

He walked out of the Jade Emperor City, walked about half a way to the northwest, and finally found a place that looked like a deep mountain and old forest.

When he came to the clearing deep in the woods and made sure that there was no forgiveness around, Shen Lu put Ah Yun on the ground, and then said, "Let's start, ancestor, remember to be merciful." ”

Ah Yun obediently screamed twice, and then retreated far away.

As his body expanded, Ah Yun probably changed to the size of a horse. Although it looks exactly the same as the giant Cloud Wandering Beast, it is much smaller in size.

Shen Lu said angrily: "You could have become like this earlier, but I deliberately found such a remote place." ”

Ah Yun laughed evilly twice in both heads, obviously feeling a little proud because he had played Shen Lu. Of course, it didn't deliberately play Shen Lu, it was too boring during this time, and I wanted to go around outside.

Shen Lu knew what it thought, so he didn't get angry, but said, "Let's start." If the process goes well, I'll be able to take you around the mountains and forests and allow you to fly into the air for a while. ”

Ah Yun jumped around happily. After a while, he stood still, and then began to condense mana, his wings waved, and a wave of mana came towards Shen Lu from afar.

Shen Lu gave up all the mana resistance in his body and closed his eyes to accept this pull

The blade attribute mana began to invade Shen Lu's body. Although Ah Yun has softened his mana as much as possible, even if the blade is soft, it is still a blade.

Shen Lu had to endure the constant stinging pain in his body, but he couldn't fight back with mana, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it. After a while, he was already sweating profusely, and his consciousness was a little unconscious.

This is a big taboo in cultivation!

You must know that when it comes to cultivation, especially when breaking through, the direction of mana is extremely unstable.

To put it simply, cultivation is as if one's own will is wrestling with one's own mana. As long as you break your wrist and win your mana, you can break through successfully. Otherwise, it will fail.

And the object of this wrist wrestling is not a fair wrist wrestling with you, but in the process of breaking your wrists, constantly kicking you, hitting you, tickling you and spitting your saliva.

If you are even a little unfocused, or influenced by these off-the-court factors, it will lead to a lack of concentration and thus lose the wrist wrestler.

Therefore, to break through the bottleneck, we can be sure of one thing: first, we must not lose our will, otherwise we will be countered. Second, if the mana is not controlled, it will madly cause damage in the body, affecting your will.

Shen Lu's will is extremely strong. If he was allowed to bear these blade mana without any pressure at ordinary times, Shen Lu would definitely be able to endure it.

However, the pressure brought by these Shen families, as well as the uncertainty about Qu Jinling's affairs, coupled with the worry that he would be involved in the dispute in Jade Emperor City in the future. Under the interweaving of various complex emotions, Shen Lu's will was already exhausted.

Now that it is stimulated like this, it is naturally on the verge of collapse.

If Shen Lu completely lost his will at this time, then the meridians and internal organs of his whole body would be harmed by the mana of the Wandering Cloud Beast. At least they became invalids, and at worst they died on the spot.

Shen Lu is now facing a crisis in Ruci.

The excessive pain combined with the pressure on his heart made it difficult for him to cope with it. In the bottom of his heart, there seemed to be countless voices: give up. As long as you give up, you can sleep well and no longer have to worry about everything.

But Shen Lu knew that these voices were all talismans! At this moment, as long as he relaxed a little, he would immediately fall into a doom from which he could not recover.

Fortunately, Shen Lu's biggest advantage is that the more desperate the environment, the more he can calmly deal with everything.

He realized his impulse, and knew that he shouldn't take such a risk to use the power of the Cloud Wandering Beast to break through the bottleneck. But at this time, it was too late to regret it, and the only choice was to borrow some of the mana of the Wandering Cloud Beast, fill it into the sea of qi, and turn it into its own mana.

In this way, although the original mana in Shen Lu's body became the culprit who hurt Shen Lu, the mana of the Wandering Cloud Beast became the last guarantee for Shen Lu's life. I don't know what the side effects will be, but it's better than dying or mutilating, right?

The result of condensing mana was very smooth, and Shen Lu also survived the most painful period. Gradually, the original mana in Shen Lu's body began to stabilize, and slowly flowed back to the sea of qi.

At the same time, Shen Lu was sweating profusely, and there was an extremely strong fishy smell in the sweat.

This is not a bad thing, but it happens to be a testament to his breakthrough.

The realm of completion is the realm of complete rebirth. As I said before, people who have become successful are not prone to acne or disease. Some disasters that normal people may have are not easy to occur in the body of a master who has cultivated to the realm or above.

The stinky sweat discharged from the body is the proof that the accumulated filth in the body is discharged after being reborn.

[Complete the breakthrough mission! The host is promoted to the following level. 】

[Congratulations to the host for breaking through the great realm, a special celebration gift pack, please check it in the inventory.] 】

[Special note: The realm improvement after completion will be relatively slow, and the required experience points will increase significantly.] In the future, the frequency and difficulty of Surprise Missions will increase, so please complete them as much as possible. This will be the best way for the host to gain experience points. 】

Shen Lu was now covered in a stench, and he really wanted to take a shower. However, at this time, I can't care so much, because the system's prompts are too important.

"What does it mean that the amount of experience required has increased dramatically?"

Shen Lu pondered, flipped to the attribute bar, and was suddenly dumbfounded.

Host: Shen Lu

Credits: 550

Cultivation: Becoming a realm

Experience Points: 0

......

Shen Lu clearly remembered that when Zhou Yingjing was ninefold, he only needed 1,900 experience points to level up. It takes 10,000 points to upgrade from the first level to the second level! This is too exaggerated, isn't it? It is more than five times more than the previous level. In the future, the progress bar values of other realms, I don't know if they will break through.

But if you think about it, it makes more sense. Because there are indeed many people who are poorly endowed and may stay in the realm of success all their lives. It's not that they don't work hard, it's that time doesn't allow them to work hard. Maybe if you torture for a lifetime, you only have the realm of the ninefold realm, so it is better to go to the realm of the third or fourth realm in your youth, and go to find some work like a guard, it is better than wasting your life.

For Shen Lu, although the experience points are needed, it is just a little slower to level up, and it will not get stuck on him. For others, there may never be time for self-improvement anymore.

Therefore, the ninefold realm is probably the limit that ordinary people can achieve in their lives.

In other words, as long as a person breaks through the ninefold realm, he must not be an ordinary person.

Although the process is a little more complicated, the results are still good. Shen Lu checked the mana in his body and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he happily took Ah Yun to play in the woods. I encountered a river, and I took a bath by the way to wash away the filth on my body.

As the so-called stealing half a day of leisure, it is extremely rare to be able to take time to relax at this time.

Shen Lu soaked in the stream, and then let the Wandering Cloud Beast go to it, while he closed his eyes and enjoyed a rare leisure time.

At this time, a voice on the shore suddenly said angrily: "Stink, I'm drinking water downstream, you take a bath here, do it on purpose!"
