Jiang He clearly felt a strong spiritual energy in this space, but just when he wanted to absorb it, he found that he was in a position, and it would be very difficult to absorb it.

The bright side of the spirit yuan is vigorous, and it seems that he can't wait to integrate into Jiang He's body. And the dark side seemed to be preventing him from absorbing, and whenever he absorbed the spirit element from the light side into his body, the dark side would devour the spirit element he had absorbed.

Jiang He was distressed, if he went on like this, wouldn't he be able to absorb it at all? But looking around, there was such a stone bench around, and the meaning of the octagonal tablet was to let people sit here and cultivate, but how could he deal with the devouring obstacles of the dark side?

Jiang He tried to absorb the spirit element again, but the powerful backlash of the dark side made him have no power to resist, and the spirit element that was absorbed into his body by himself was swallowed up by the dark side at all.

No, if it goes on like this, how many times will it be absorbed, and this will still be the result. Jiang He shook his head

"It looks like we're going to have to find a different way. ”

Jiang He temporarily gave up absorbing Lingyuan.

After thinking for a while, Jiang He decided to let his body adapt to the repulsive power of the two sides, if he could withstand the conflict of these two forces, wouldn't it be easy to absorb the spirit element?

Without dragging, Jiang He immediately crossed his legs, interlocked his hands, and put them between his legs.

He felt the impact of the two forces on him, it was okay at first, but the more he went to the back, the more painful Jiang He felt, as if his body was about to be torn apart. While pouring a steady stream of spirit yuan into the body, he frantically extracted it. Jiang He's body seems to be a storage warehouse, collecting, storing, and sending. In this way, the body's endurance is constantly challenging the limit.

Lingyuan's washing of Jiang He again and again made him feel that his consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and Jiang He secretly swore in his heart.

"I can't go back in vain, I can't afford to waste such a precious opportunity, I have to keep going. ”

In this way, Jiang He wandered on the verge of collapse countless times and became awake, and after about a hundred cycles, Jiang He, who was on the verge of fainting, suddenly felt that his body had absorbed a trace of spiritual yuan, and his consciousness that was almost fainting was regained.

At this time, Jiang He suddenly realized and understood the mystery of cultivation at the junction of light and darkness.

At first, I always had a misunderstanding about the dark side. I have always felt that the dark side needs to absorb its own spirit element to balance, and after nearly a hundred years of transmission, the dark side has no sign of increasing spirit element.

In fact, when a cultivator absorbs the spirit element of the bright side, purifies and washes it in the dantian, and then expels the impure spirit element, this dark side will play its true role, that is, to absorb this impure and dirty qi.

And this cycle of more than 100 times was not done in vain, through this cycle, Jiang He's willpower was enhanced, so that he was enough to persist until he purified the spirit element in his body, and then absorbed it by the dark side.

Jiang He, who suddenly realized, hurriedly tried it. First of all, he introduced the shiny spirit element, and the spirit element was continuously poured into his body. Immediately afterwards, Jiang He used his body that had been refined to temporarily resist the devouring of the dark side, and just when he couldn't resist this powerful devouring power, the first batch of spirit elements had just been purified.

In this way, the cycle began again and again, and Jiang He continued to absorb the spirit element. His body seemed to be a bottomless pit, and a steady stream of spiritual yuan was sucked into his body, but there was still no sign of fullness.

And here, Liuli had absorbed the full spirit yuan and was sent out by the octagonal stele, but in an instant, the glass appeared on the stone mat outside the octagonal stele.

Liu Zhiyuan's eyes kept on him, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Li'er, what's the situation inside the octagonal monument?"

"Back to her father, the daughter entered a place where the spirit yuan was extremely prosperous, and the daughter knew that this was the octagonal tablet, and immediately practiced in the same place. ”

Ryu Zhiyuan happily closed his mouth.

"Okay, good, there are only a few people who have been able to enter the octagonal monument for many years, but I didn't expect that there will be two today. Come, let the husband find out your cultivation. ”

Immediately, Liu Zhiyuan raised his hand to investigate, this did not know, and a check made Liu Zhiyuan's mouth open wide.

"Entering the third order of the virtuous realm, is this impossible?"

When everyone in the audience heard this, they were all dumbfounded.

"I've never heard of it, awakening can directly reach the realm of the third order of the virtuous realm, this, is this still a human?"

"What's impossible, heredity. ”

There was a lot of chatter underneath.

But Liu Zhiyuan was attracted by Jiang He, who had not yet moved on the stage.

This glass has come out, why hasn't this Jiang He moved, if it goes on like this, is it stronger than Li'er?

Ryu Zhiyuan immediately stopped everyone again.

"I say it again, don't be impatient, there are still people cultivating, and our awakening ritual is not over yet. ”

Jiang Zuo and his wife in the audience looked at each other, worried, nervous, and even a little expectant, all written on their faces. Jiang Zuo's previous leisurely face couldn't be pretended to be now.

When will this child come out?

Jiang Zuo prayed silently in his heart.

Jiang He seemed to feel the call from his parents inside the octagonal stele, so he accelerated the pace of absorption.

After another hundred cycles, Jiang He's absorption, purification, and turbidity removal have reached the point of perfection, and now the devouring power can no longer have any effect on him.

While Jiang He was absorbing, he also found a very serious problem, through his own crazy absorption, the bright spirit element was constantly decreasing, but Jiang He still felt that he had failed to break through the awakening.

After absorbing about three hundred cycles, the shiny spirit element was finally close to running out, and at this moment, an angry voice sounded.

"Okay, shameless human beings, my octagonal tablet has been stationed here for a hundred years, providing spiritual yuan for the awakened, you are good, I am about to be sucked dry in one breath, if I don't find out in time, I will be finished playing with you, get out of here." ”

Before Jiang He could react, he felt that he was pushed out by a powerful force, and then he appeared in the air not far from the octagonal monument.

Seeing Jiang He who suddenly appeared from the stone tablet and was pushed away, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly stepped on to catch Jiang He.

Jiang He didn't react in a burst of dizziness, he was connected to the ground by Lu Zhiyuan, and before he could speak, the crowd became noisy.

"Lord Liucheng, how is it, tell us quickly. ”

"How did he fly upside down, like he was thrown out. ”

"How can you stay until the end be thrown out, others call it strength expansion, burst out, what do you know?"

The crowd was arguing again.

Liu Zhiyuan asked Jiang He, "Child, please allow me to investigate." ”

Jiang He nodded.

However, the more he investigated, the more Ryu Zhiyuan frowned.

"Lord Liucheng, is there something wrong?"

Jiang He saw that Liu Zhiyuan's eyebrows were about to wrinkle into a heap, and there was a trace of something bad in his heart.

"That's not right, the abundance of your spiritual power is comparable to the third order of the Sage Realm, but the Yuan Dan in your body has not awakened. ”

When Jiang He heard this, he was stupid all of a sudden, could it be that his painful persistence in the stele was all in vain? Was it because he had annoyed the octagonal stele?

Disappointment, self-blame, and all the uncomfortable emotions all came to Jiang He's heart, and he lowered his head and stood silently.

"Impossible!" Jiang Zuo let out a loud sigh and rushed over, followed by Xiang'er.

"How could my son not awaken successfully? He only came to awaken at the peak of Lingyuan. ”

Liu Zhiyuan's face was embarrassed, and he patted Jiang Zuo's shoulder and comforted.

"It's not that there are no cases where the Lingyuan Peak has failed, Jiang He, this kid is probably the reason. ”

The crowd burst into an uproar.

Laughter, sarcasm, came all over the sky.

It was like a sharp long sword, piercing Jiang He's heart fiercely, his parents gave him high hopes, but he didn't expect that not only did he not have an excellent result, but he even failed to awaken.

Am I no longer able to cultivate? Am I going to have to live my life in a state of confusion?

Jiang He's tears blurred his vision, he lowered his head and grabbed his father, who was fighting against the people who were watching the show.

"Father, let's go home. ”

"Things must be reversed, two geniuses give birth to a waste. ”

An untimely voice rang out in the crowd.

"Waste is waste, and there are so many reasons to take it. ”

The crowd shouted coldly at the departing family of three.

These words seemed to poke Jiang He's sore spot, and his whole body shook violently and stiffened in place.

Seeing Jiang He's reaction so violently, and seeing Jiang Zuo next to him, they all shut up.

"I don't know who speaks so harshly, I shouldn't have such a person who doesn't know how to be polite, and if anyone does this, he will be expelled from Stone City immediately. ”

Liu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of the crowd and said what he thought, but the glass next to him was uncertain.

"Regardless of whether you Jiang He awakens successfully or not, I recognize you as a friend. ”

Liuli looked at Jiang He's back and muttered.

Ru Zhiyuan patted Ruri's shoulder.

"Li'er, I'm afraid this kid is not as simple as it seems. ”

After Jiang He stiffened his breath a few more times, he grabbed Bing'er and looked at his parents and smiled slightly.

"Dad, mother, Bing'er, let's go home. ”

Mu Xiang'er saw He'er smiling in front of her, her nose was sour, and she held back her tears and said

"Okay, let's go home, my mother will cook you your favorite sweet and sour fish. ”

Jiang Zuo immediately summoned his long sword, carried the three of them, and disappeared into the stone city.

Jiang He, who returned home, went straight back to the room and locked it, ignoring how the three of them knocked on the door or shouted.

Back on the bed, Jiang He covered his head with a quilt to isolate all sounds outside the room, and sadness swept over him.

Is that the end of it?

Did it just fail?

How should I go on in life?

Do you want to spend your whole life farming and waste your life?

Jiang He repeated these questions over and over in his head, and then burst into tears.

The catkins flutter in the sky above the green lotus house, and the flowers bloom by the river, this is the season of growth of all things, and the petals that wither in late spring slowly rot away in the soil.

These withered petals, nourishing some mysterious life, seem to be exactly that, they are slowly emerging from the unknown underground, waiting for a chance to break through the ground.
