Chapter 13: The Joy of Breakthrough
The rain continued to fall, and Lone Star suddenly felt a slight coldness, only to realize that he was already soaking wet.
After entering the cave, Satsuki entered the sword and went to breathe, leaving Lone Star sitting on the edge of the fire by himself, seemingly with nothing to do.
"I haven't meditated for a few days, and I don't know if I've made any new progress?"
Lone Star closed his eyes as he spoke, in fact, he didn't have any expectations in his heart, after all, it was only a few days since the last breakthrough, and these days, he really couldn't take care of cultivation.
But when he was running his mental method, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that his meridians had actually widened by several points compared to some time before, and his true qi had become more refined, almost making a qualitative leap.
Lone Star was shocked, a little unbelievable at the same time, but even more confused. It's only been seven days since the last time I broke through the forging stage and reached the early stage of qi transformation, and just four days ago, I was still in the early stage of qi transformation, how could I improve so quickly all of a sudden?
"What the hell is going on?"
Lone Star was puzzled, and suddenly remembered the mysterious voice he had heard when he was unconscious.
As for what happened to him when he was unconscious, he almost forgot about it when he woke up, except that a voice woke him up from his nightmare.
"Could it be that it has something to do with it?"
The more Lone Star thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, otherwise, how to explain that he had risen from the early stage to the mid-stage peak in just three days.
"Why is he helping me?"
After thinking about it, there was no clear answer, so Lone Star had to give up.
"Well, I guess it's my auditory hallucination. ”
Lone Star comforted himself: "When people are on the verge of death, they always see and hear many strange things, I'm afraid this kind of thing is doing it again." ”
Thinking of this, Lone Star was a little relieved, and immediately calmed down and ignored him.
There was no sound in the cave, only the sound of his even breathing when he fell into cultivation, which was called breathing in cultivation, and it was also an indispensable part of cultivation.
"Tranquility and nothingness, true qi from it; breathe essence, ** guard the gods. ”
This mantra was passed down by Satsuki during Lone Star's breakthrough period, in order to make Lone Star pay attention to the use of breathing.
"If you practice tuna well, you are practicing all the time. ”
That's what Satsuki said at the time, which shows the importance of breathing in the path of cultivation.
"As for the qi, deep is accumulated, accumulation is extended, stretched is down, down is fixed, fixed is solid, solid is budding, sprout is long, long is retreating, retreating is heaven. ”
I have to say that with this set of breathing and qi mantras, Lone Star's cultivation can be summed up in a thousand miles in a day. Moreover, this method also has the effect of maintaining health and fitness, consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, and those who practice to the fullest are all 100 years old, and the action is not weak, and the essence is not stopped.
"Is this the gap between cultivators and ordinary people?" Lone Star asked himself, his expression dazed:
"It can already be seen in me, if it is placed on those strong people, how big is the gap between them, and the gap between me and ordinary people, will it be the gap between them and me?"
"I'm afraid the gap is even bigger, right?"
The lone star disk sat on the ground, quietly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and with the improvement of his cultivation, the amount of aura he absorbed at one time was obviously not a small number. Of course, this also means that he can give birth to more True Qi at once.
Qi is divided into two kinds, congenital and acquired, the human body has qi, congenital deficiency and acquired to make up for it, so the true qi is subject to the sky, and the valley qi is combined with the body.
The Qi Transformation Period, as the name suggests, is the period of refining Spiritual Qi and deriving True Qi, which is equivalent to the introductory period of cultivation, and it is very important, and only when you reach this realm can you truly be regarded as a cultivator.
In this realm, cultivators can truly possess their own true qi, and what remains is to hone their own compatibility with the true qi in their bodies.
As for how to hone the fit, that is the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, since ancient times there are different sayings, but there is only one way, which is accepted by people.
Quiet, quiet is angry, more than life, and at the same time will guard the dantian and go with the flow.
True Qi has its own specific rules for running through the meridians, and cultivating True Qi to penetrate the meridians that are not very smooth should also have specific methods, principles and requirements, and following the flow is to perform moves in the direction of the True Qi, and the True Qi is like a child, you have to follow him, and let yourself accommodate him, not him and you.
Lone Star did what Xiao Yue said step by step, and suddenly the aura in the sky poured into his dantian like a tide, he condensed his mind and calmed down, and instantly placed himself in an ethereal realm, the aura around him was like water, pure and terrible, he was unaware of it, crazy refining, and suddenly gave birth to a large amount of true qi circulating in the body, his meridians were also constantly widened, and there was a faint trend of breakthrough, if he was seen by Xiao Yue, he would definitely be surprised, because Lone Star obviously entered the Dao realm again, somehow, this kind of realm that can be met but not sought seems to be very favored by him。
And he seems to know nothing, over and over again, tirelessly.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes in an instant, and it felt as if centuries had passed, just now he seemed to have reached the end of the world, Tiangang turned north, and the vicissitudes of the sea were changing.
He saw that everything was gone at that time, and he was left alone walking alone between heaven and earth, and the desolation was truly imprinted in his heart.
He felt more and more that this mental method was powerful, just in the early days, it was so powerful, worthy of being taught by the sword spirit, and he was becoming more and more curious about Xiao Yue at the moment, he felt that Xiao Yue seemed to have too many secrets to hide from him, but she refused not to say it, then she would never ask, she didn't tell herself, then there must be her reason.
I don't know how Satsuki would feel if she knew that Lone Star was so empathetic.
Don't dare to be distracted anymore, Lone Star adjusted his breathing slightly, and settled again, it was this tenacity and not giving up that made him reach the peak of the middle stage in such a short period of time, you must know that true qi is the most important step by step, the key is in a stable word, although it is powerful, but the cultivation is extremely slow.
Ordinary people just can't stand such a process, and they give up halfway after persisting for a period of time, or looking for natural materials and even panaceas everywhere to forcibly improve, although the effect is good, but it is not the right way after all.
"Martial arts, that's a footprint and a footprint came out, relying on down-to-earth!"
I have to say that the three days that Xiaoyue went were a big blow to Lone Star, but it made him understand more, between life and death, he realized that there is no shortcut to anything, and if you want to succeed, you have to work hard. No one can give you this kind of dedication, you have to work hard.
This realization prompted him to no longer dare to rely on external forces, and everything had to be down-to-earth.
But things are always unpredictable, and God seems to just want to joke with him.
Just when he re-entered the time of no more than half a pillar of incense, he once again stepped into the Dao realm, and suddenly the vision rose again, and the surrounding aura frantically attacked this side, countless gossamer-like aura roared in mid-air, and the sound of breaking the air was endless, and the power was even farther than before.
This time, even Xiao Yue, who fell into a deep sleep, could no longer remain calm, she was a spirit body, and she had her own realm in the sword, and she frequently went in and out of the virtual and real worlds, which caused a lot of consumption on her, so she spent most of her day in sleep.
Once the sword spirit falls into a deep sleep, it can't wake up, because the world in the sword will consciously cut off the connection with the outside world, except for the aura, the sword spirit also needs to be cultivated, for them, sleep is the best practice, but this time, she suddenly can't absorb any aura, this side is like a person pinching her nose in her sleep, and she suddenly woke up suffocated.
"What's going on?" she asked herself in confusion, and hurried out into the outside world.
This look suddenly surprised her, only to see that countless spiritual energy was frantically gathering above a person's head at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a huge funnel seemed to appear in the sky above that person, pouring down those gathered spiritual energy.
That person was naturally Lone Star, and I saw that he closed his eyes tightly, his expression was serene, and there was a faint flow of brilliance between his eyebrows. Just sitting there, but it seemed to be one with heaven and earth, and I couldn't feel a trace of his breath. It is obviously a phenomenon unique to entering the Dao realm.
"This ......" Xiao Yue's mouth suddenly opened and she couldn't speak.
"Although it's in the Dao realm, it's too fast!" Xiao Yue watched in shock as the aura in the sky was absorbed by Lone Star at a terrifying speed, and she was indescribably surprised in her heart.
"If you continue to absorb it like this, I'm afraid this nerd is going to break through, right?"
Before the words fell, a wisp of misty breath suddenly spread, and the sound of dislocation caused by the collapse of bones could be heard in Lone Star's body.
"How could there be such a big movement? Could it be ......" Suddenly, Satsuki seemed to think of something, and her face was incredulous.
"Impossible, he just broke through to the Qi Transformation Stage a few days ago, how could he break through so quickly?"
"But this is obviously a sign that the breakthrough will only occur in the late stage!What the hell is going on?" Xiao Yue couldn't figure it out, it only took Lone Star seven days to break through from the early stage of Qi to the late stage.
"Could it be that this nerd has been hiding from himself?"
Xiao Yue muttered to herself, and shook her head again: "No, with his spiritual sense, even if he wants to hide it from himself, it is impossible to do it." But how can all this be explained?"
Xiao Yue looked at everything that happened in front of her with great incomprehension, if she knew that Lone Star had already entered the Dao realm once before she came out, I am afraid that she would be even more incomprehensible. In comparison, this breakthrough is not a big deal.
"Hmph, you dare to break through so quickly without telling me, you stinky nerd. ”
Xiao Yue scolded angrily, even if this nerd can't cultivate, he still makes himself so depressed, he will have to beat and beat it later.
"The breakthrough is so fast, the foundation must not be solid, and when the time comes...... Hehe......" Xiao Yueyin laughed, as if she had seen the miserable appearance of Lone Star hugging her head and begging for mercy under her own ravage.
Thinking of the excitement, I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "When the time comes, you will definitely not be able to survive, and you will not be able to die!"
Time passed like this, and Xiao Yue waited left and right, and there was no sign of the lone star waking up, so she couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Not over yet?"
Xiao Yue looked at the still dense aura in the air, and said helplessly: "If this nerd is absorbing like this, maybe he will break through again, how can he get it then." ”
She is a person who focuses on the basics, knowing that speed is not enough, and she also understands that the strong are never achieved overnight, so she always emphasizes that she must go down to earth.
"That's it, let him suffer some hardships when the time comes, and I'll temper him well. ”
But what she didn't notice was that in Lone Star's body, there was always a force compressing these absorbed aura, as if there was a pair of invisible hands that were ruthlessly suppressing Lone Star's realm, preventing him from breaking through as soon as possible.
Where does this power come from, and what is its purpose? We don't know.
When it came to the time, time passed the fastest, and Lone Star didn't remember the concept of time at all in his cultivation, and Xiao Yue also ran out of patience in waiting left and right, and he didn't know where to go in an instant.
As a result, only himself and the aura of heaven and earth were left in the cave
