Shen Shi's body suddenly twitched, as if he felt a strong pain, and in his mind, the darkness was retreating but obviously reluctant, and he was desperately resisting with his teeth and claws, confronting the intense light, as if he was about to fight back in the next moment.

The limbs and heads, countless qi veins, were trembling together at this moment, and all the spiritual power gathered into a river, like an excited school of fish began to rush wildly, and the target was the empty and illusory place in his abdomen.

Shen Shi's heart jumped suddenly, and at that moment, he actually saw a vague shadow in his mind, that is, there seemed to be an endless sea of emptiness in his abdomen, and there seemed to be a majestic palace standing proudly.

Above the Dao Law, this is the Yufu Dantian, the foundation of the monks, and the foundation of the Immortal Dao.

All the Divine Passage Methods are born from this, and they all have this prosperity.

However, just when all the spiritual power rushed madly and was about to rush into the phantom of the Jade Mansion, there was an invisible layer of resistance that blocked all the spiritual power, and it firmly locked the position of the dantian and blocked all the meridians and qi veins.

This is the realm barrier, also known as the realm barrier, which is a shackle that the human race will inevitably encounter in the physical body after cultivating the Dao method, no one knows why this strange obstacle appears, but since the human race, the realm barrier has always been with the left and right, and no one can be an exception.

Breaking the barrier is crossing the border, and after breaking the barrier, the sea and the sky have an unlimited future, and what can't be broken can only be a mediocre person for a lifetime, which is insulated from the fairy road.

The waves of spiritual power that were blocked from the way were higher and higher, and the irritability kept impacting this invisible barrier, which brought intense pain to Shen Shi's body, making him feel as if he was disemboweling, as if his body was about to crack open in the next moment.

His mind was a little surprised, at the moment, it was clear that his cultivation time had arrived, and the spiritual power of his physical body began to impact the realm barrier of the Ning Yuan Realm on its own, in order to open up the Yufu Dantian, if he could succeed, he would step into the Ning Yuan Realm after tonight, and if it failed, according to what he knew before, there would be a lot of sequelae, and he would have to rest for at least about three months before he could impact the Ning Yuan Realm again, after all, the burden of mobilizing the spiritual power of the body to the physical body was not light.

It's just that for some reason, the realm barrier seems to be exceptionally strong and strong, Shen Shi endured the pain several times, condensed the spiritual power around him and rushed over, but he was blocked by the realm barrier several times.

Shen Shi faintly felt that something was not quite right, but he had never experienced this kind of realm breaking in the past, but he had only read a few books and scrolls with a few vague words, it seemed that in those classic books, the most difficult thing for monks to break through the realm was to sense the Dantian Jade Mansion, and the realm barrier was of course also a powerful obstacle, but according to what was said in the past texts, the spiritual power consumed by sensing the Jade Mansion would be almost half of the spiritual power of the monk himself, and the remaining half would be spent on impacting the realm barrier.

But Shen Shi clearly felt that the Qi Sea Jade Mansion that he suddenly sensed just now clearly barely consumed any spiritual power, and it appeared in his divine thoughts so abruptly and distinctly, and for a moment, he even thought that he had cultivated to break through to the Ning Yuan Realm.

However, when he used the spiritual power of his whole body to impact the realm barrier, in order to complete this last step and finally condense into the Jade Mansion Dantian, so that the spiritual power of the whole body returned to the sea and reached the Ning Yuan Realm, he found that it seemed that all the difficulties were suddenly concentrated on the realm barrier.

It was sturdy and tenacious beyond imagination, even if it was impacted with the spiritual power of Shen Shi's whole body, the realm barrier was only shaky, but it never collapsed.

Shouldn't it be like this?

A trace of gloom passed through Shen Shi's heart, but the next moment, he left this boring thought behind, his eyes were still closed, his body was still trembling slightly, the intense pain was raging from his abdomen to all over his body, and even his outstretched hand was constantly trembling uncontrollably.

He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said nothing.

His fingers moved forward little by little on the stone table, and he quickly touched the scattered spirit crystals and another elixir.

It's dark at night.

The silence of the valley was pitch black, as if even the stars did not want to fall here, and the darkness flooded every corner of the valley, only the sound of water in the distance still never stopped, gently drifting in the empty night.

Under the old trees and vines, on the mountain road, there was a figure who came out of nowhere, just standing there quietly, the darkness surrounding him, covering all traces, making it impossible to see the outline of his face clearly, only a faint phantom looming in the shadows.

It was a peaceful night, as if all things in heaven and earth, including the mountains and forests, were integrated with the dark figure, quietly breathing, and there was a faint strange power that swirled and fluttered in the valley, mysterious but distant, as if all things listened to the figure obediently, and there seemed to be a faint heartbeat, echoing in the valley.

One volt together, one volt together......

It's just that at this moment, the figure seemed to sense something, and his body shook slightly, and in the darkness of this valley, which was originally integrated into one, there was no trace of noise, and suddenly in the depths of the darkness, a faint light lit up.

A faint light, unusually weak, but so clear, no less dazzling.

It suddenly broke the calm and perfection of the darkness, broke the harmony of the valley that had been integrated into one, as if it was a blatant stroke on a perfect painting, and suddenly all perfection disappeared in an instant.

That ray of light, like a candle flame in the darkness, flickered and flickered.

The figure in the darkness suddenly rose into the air, and all the darkness seemed to follow him, and it came in an instant across the long distance, rushing towards that beam of light, which was as imposing as a mountain, and even with a little anger.

The place of light was in the blink of an eye, in the depths of the valley, in front of the cave gate of Shen Shi.

At this point, the figure froze and stopped. The surroundings of his figure seemed to be still covered by heavy darkness, so he still couldn't see his face clearly, but when he arrived here, he unexpectedly saw that outside Shen Shi's cave, the faint light was indefinite, and there were actually several extremely light colors slowly flowing and changing, and this light seemed to have no foundation at all, just slowly flickering in some places outside the cave.

The figure in the darkness stared at it for a moment, as if it suddenly hesitated, as if it was a little surprised, and after a few moments, a deep voice came softly from the darkness, saying:

"It's ...... Is there a divine artistic conception...... No, the light is too weak, this is impacting the Ning Yuan realm. But separated by a cave stone room, how could there be such a big reaction when refining qi broke through the realm, and it could actually resonate with the spiritual power of heaven and earth?"

At this moment, the faint light outside the cave suddenly trembled a few times, as if it was unable to continue, and quickly annihilated and dissipated.

The figure looked at Shen Shi's cave in the darkness thoughtfully, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly turned around and swept away, flying far away in the darkness, and disappeared into the dark depths of this valley in the blink of an eye.

※※※

In the early morning, the morning light of a new day fell from the sky, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the cold and damp valley.

Thin mist wafted through the valley's forests, like lingering silk wool, and crystal round dew drops could be seen everywhere on the leaves of the grass and trees, reflecting the beautiful brilliance. The abundant moisture nourishes the trees and trees, and the breeze blows, and a fresh smell can be smelled everywhere.

A few crisp birdsong, sounded in the depths of the forest, chirping non-stop, although not as majestic as those spirit birds and cranes on the top of Jinhong Mountain, but also has its own vitality, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet valley.

Compared with the valley that gradually became active and full of life, the monks caves hidden in the shadows of the trees were calm, without any movement, but from a distance, these caves seemed to have become a part of the valley, until suddenly a rapid sound like a drum suddenly sounded outside a certain cave in the depths of the valley.

"Knock knock, knock knock ......"

The voice was eager and anxious, breaking the silence of the valley and waking up the people in the cave at the same time.

The little black pig, who had slept all night, jumped up all of a sudden, looked left and right, made a defensive look, hummed in his mouth, and kicked back with the little pig's hooves on his hind legs, hitting Shen Shi's head.

Shen Shi just wanted to get up, but he was kicked back by this stupid pig with a "snap", covering his forehead and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and slapped the little pig's buttocks, the little black pig jumped aside, wagged his tail, and hummed at him.

The sound of a drum-like knock on the door was still thinking outside, Shen Shi suddenly felt a little familiar, and then smiled for no reason, touched the little black pig's head, and then got out of bed and walked to the door.

The little black pig jumped out of bed, followed behind its master, opened its mouth and yawned and stretched, and the next moment, its solitary cooing sounded, and suddenly there was a sad look on its face.

Shen Shi held the cloud talisman in his hand, which quietly lit up at this moment, and after the faint light flashed, the two heavy stone doors retreated to both sides with a rumbling sound.

A ray of morning light fell, shining on his body, and the wind with the fragrance of grass and trees blew in his face, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then he saw the person outside the door.

It was a man standing in the morning light, handsome and tall, with a look of surprise on his face and a smile that could not be concealed. The contours of the eyebrows and eyes, although it has been three years, are still so familiar.

"Stone!" he cried out loudly.

Shen Shi laughed, the smile came from the heart, the joy was kind and warm, just standing in the morning light, looking at this friend, looking at the appearance that he still hasn't changed after three years, and said with a smile:

"Sun You!"

Sun You looked at him, from head to foot, and then from foot to head, then laughed, jumped in front of Shen Shi in one step, opened his arms, hugged Shen Shi tightly, and slapped his back hard.

"Good fellow, you're finally back, but you're back!"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, as if he was a little uncomfortable with Sun You's actions so close, but after a while, a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he also hugged this friend.

"Long time no see. ”

Sun You was obviously a little excited, and after a long while, he let go of his hands, looked at Shen Shi carefully, and said with a smile: "If Zhong Qinglu hadn't told me, I didn't know that you were back, I was going to come over last night, but Zhong Qinglu refused." But come to think of it, you must have a lot of travel when you come back this time, and you might as well rest for the night. ”

Shen Shi smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, I'm fine." ”

Sun You laughed and said, "Anyway, it's good for you to come back, seriously, where have you been in the past three years?" I heard Zhong Qinglu say that she didn't have time to ask you yesterday, so she just said that you look okay, is it the realm or refining qi? It must be that you have suffered in the past three years, damn it, your talent was among the few of us at the beginning, but it doesn't matter......

As if to say all the words in his heart at once, Sun You pulled Shen Shi like this, and kept talking and talking, Shen Shi smiled and said on the side, you can sincerely feel Sun You's joy, and there is also a trace of warmth floating in your heart.

But when Sun Youzheng wanted to continue to say something, and slapped his chest with his palm, as if he was going to make a promise:

"Don't worry, don't think too much, isn't it just a Qi Refining Realm? We're not the same as before now, I'll help you, for sure...... Huh?" His voice suddenly froze, as if he saw something strange, and looked at Shen Shi in amazement, as if he was a little incredulous, he stayed for a moment, and said,

"You're ......"

Shen Shi smiled and said, "I'm in the Yuan Realm." After a pause, he added, "It was achieved last night." ”

(There is a detail in Chapter 29 "Reunion" that has been modified, I didn't pay attention to the code words, and when Shen Zhong and the two met again, they should have said "hey" instead of a "hi" that sounded a little weird, sorry.) ）
