Accompanied by the sound of the stone door slowly falling, Liu Yu stood inside the cave, saluted and thanked outside the cave, and his figure gradually disappeared.
Looking at Liu Yu who was gradually disappearing, Patriarch Tianfeng had a somewhat complicated expression on his face.
Although Tongtian Peak had more than one fourth-level cave dwelling when it was first established, there were only a few people in the entire Yuanyang Sect who could enjoy such benefits.
Li Changfeng is one of them. He once had high hopes for him, but unfortunately
"I can't last long, I hope Qingyang can succeed once."
After standing for a long time, Patriarch Tianfeng turned and left, feeling a little worried.
…
"Everything that needs to be explained will be explained now."
"Everything that should be prepared should be prepared. It's time to officially hit the bottleneck."
In the fourth-level cave, Liu Yu sat cross-legged, but did not start practicing immediately.
Instead, think carefully about whether there are any omissions in your plan and every detail of the past.
There was no sadness or joy on his face, and his expression was calm.
After cultivating to his current state, Liu Yu's hands were covered in blood, but he didn't feel any regret at this moment.
If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old, and the great road is ruthless and supreme!
In the eyes of "Heaven" and "Dao", perhaps everything is treated equally, and it is normal for the weak to prey on the strong. It is just a common trivial matter.
The way of heaven will not favor any one side. There is no saying that killing will produce karma. There is no difference between humans and monsters.
Therefore, although his hands were stained with blood, Liu Yu was not worried at all that the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation would be aggravated.
When he recalled the past at this time, he was not repenting for some of his past actions, but just confirming that he had a clear conscience for the choices he had made.
A thousand monks have a thousand opinions.
In the eyes of the sect disciples, Liu Yu is a powerful and tough Qingyang elder.
In the eyes of Elder Jindan, he is a blockbuster and scheming Qingyangzi, whose path is unknowable!
In the hearts of many casual cultivators, they are evil demons who commit all kinds of evil.
But in the hearts of some female cultivators, he is an indomitable hero who can always calmly solve every difficulty.
But for Liu Yu, she insists on walking on her own path, and any opinions of others are insignificant.
He closed his eyes, and two hundred and seventy-one years of memories quickly passed through his mind like a fleeting glimpse.
There are ripples in the inner lake, but eventually they all calm down.
Of course, Liu Yu cannot guarantee that every choice she makes is correct, but at least she has no regrets or regrets.
A quarter of an hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with calmness and indifference.
Both body refining and qi refining have reached the peak of the third level, which is already beyond the point of progress. In this case, taking pills is useless.
The Yuanshen is infinitely close to the Nascent Soul stage, but there is still some room for improvement.
Thousands of thoughts rose and fell in his heart, but eventually they all calmed down. Liu Yu immediately began to use the exercises to polish his magic power.
Although there is no room for improvement in cultivation, the purity of mana essence can be further improved, which will affect the final probability of conceiving a baby.
In terms of Yuanshen, it is also possible to officially reach the Yuanying level by practicing the "wonderful method of preserving the spirit" and taking various spiritual substances.
"Huh~"
As Liu Yu began to practice, the cave house located on the top of Tongtian Peak became turbulent, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth surged in from the invisible pull.
The sun rises and sets, and time passes imperceptibly.
He did not mention the matter of conceiving a baby in seclusion to any monk except Patriarch Tianfeng, and even the elders of the sect knew nothing about it.
Only Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan could vaguely guess something.
…
Time flies and the war between monsters and monsters is in full swing. Due to Liu Yu not appearing for a long time, she gradually fades out of the sight of some people.
Fifteen years later.
"Hiss~!"
"No matter how many times I practice, the pain of operating the "Shen Shen Miao Dharma" is still so profound!"
After finishing the practice, Liu Yu was sweating profusely, but a smile appeared on her face.
Fifteen years have passed, and with the help of many Yuan Shen creatures, his Yuan Shen cultivation has finally taken a crucial step.
He officially broke through to the Nascent Soul level, and the range of his spiritual consciousness reached two hundred miles.
After polishing it day after day, the magic power has become more refined, and the confidence in the formation of babies has become even greater.
Most anxiety comes from uncertainty about the future.
Having made sufficient preparations to turn disorder into order, Liu Yu naturally would not have the same anxiety as most monks about failing to hit the bottleneck.
With a thought in his mind, his unprecedentedly huge spiritual consciousness immediately broke through the limitations of the cave formation and took in everything within a radius of two hundred miles.
Although he was in the cave, many things within the sect were still vivid in his mind.
After a moment, Liu Yu withdrew his consciousness, and with a thought, he concentrated his mind and spread his spiritual awareness.
The next moment, he entered a new horizon.
In front of my eyes, overlapping tiny lights and shadows appeared. They were "spirituals" that were thousands of times smaller than the most basic units of spiritual energy.
As his cultivation level increased, Liu Yu's spiritual awareness naturally increased simultaneously, and he could observe the spiritual beings more clearly and be able to observe the world more clearly.
It's just a pity that even though his spiritual awareness is greatly enhanced compared to before, he still can't directly activate the "spiritual son".
It seems that there are still some key things missing.
"Maybe it's something related to spiritual consciousness?"
Liu Yu silently guessed.
Even if I look through the sect's classics, I still can't get a satisfactory answer to this puzzle.
High-level immortal cultivation knowledge is strictly blocked in both the Central Region and Tiannan, restricting its spread to the lower levels.
The spiritual sense is sharp enough to detect the existence of the spirit son, but neither the spiritual power nor the spiritual consciousness can activate the spirit son.
Liu Yu guessed that it might be due to "spiritual thoughts".
The transformation of divine consciousness into divine thoughts must have at least some characteristics, and perhaps it can directly activate the spirit son.
"However, research in this area can be put aside for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is to attack the bottleneck of Nascent Soul."
Several thoughts flashed through his mind. Liu Yu was slightly distracted, but he was still able to clearly observe the existence of the spirit son.
With the increase in spiritual awareness, he now does not need to concentrate all his mind and can now enter this kind of vision more easily.
Thinking like this, Liu Yu stopped her practice and got up, burned incense and bathed, but did not continue to practice.
Fifteen years have passed, and the magic power has been polished to the limit. No matter in any aspect, it is difficult to improve at all.
And after the spiritual consciousness reaches two hundred miles, the Yuan Shen objects currently in hand will almost lose their effect.
Although some spiritual awareness techniques have been collected over the years, the fourth level of the "wonderful method of preserving the spirit" has not yet been deduced, and the third level has lost its effect on improving the current soul.
As for body training, he has already reached the third level peak.
It's just that in today's world of immortal cultivation, it is difficult to find the resources to refine the body and advance to the fourth level, and this is the case in Tiannan in the Central Region.
It is many times more difficult than promotion in Qi refining.
Even though Liu Yu had the Immortal Mansion to rely on, because his confidence was too low, he had to give up the idea of refining his body to be promoted first.
All aspects have reached their limits and are affected by the "marginal effect". Even if they continue to practice hard, the benefits will be very limited.
He gave up the idea of continuing to practice hard, burned incense and bathed every day to adjust his mood, planning to choose a good and auspicious day to start breaking through the Yuanying bottleneck.
…
Time, unknowingly, has arrived in the cold winter.
Pieces of goose feathers and heavy snow fell, the mountains were dyed white, and the sky and the earth were vast.
In a blink of an eye, it’s Spring Festival again.
However, there is not much festive atmosphere among the disciples of Yuanyang Sect.
Firstly, immortal cultivators originate from the secular world but are higher than the secular world, so secular festivals are relatively ignored. Secondly, the war between humans and monsters is in full swing, and news of the death of fellow disciples will be heard every once in a while.
Under such circumstances, people are so panicked that they have no time to celebrate the holidays.
"Another Spring Festival."
Scanning with his spiritual consciousness, his eyes seemed to pass through obstacles. Liu Yu saw a vast expanse of heavy snow and "saw" the natural changes in the snow-falling mountains.
At three o'clock in the morning, he felt so blessed that the time had come to break through the bottleneck of Yuan Ying!
This opportunity cannot be missed, Liu Yu believed in the premonition,
"咻咻~"
He seized the fleeting opportunity and raised his hand to shoot out high-grade spiritual stones, which landed in various places in the high-level "Spirit Gathering Array" in the cave.
“Bang bang bang!!!”
The next moment, there were continuous roars, and pieces of medium and low-grade spiritual stones shattered, turning into wisps of spiritual energy that filled the room.
These spirit stones are specially prepared to attack the bottleneck of Yuanying. Fire spirit stones and wood spirit stones are arranged in a ratio of eight to two.
The spiritual stone exploded, and a massive amount of spiritual energy was released instantly.
Because it is so strong, a red-green mist appears indoors after two breaths, which can be directly observed with the naked eye.
At the same time, under the stimulation of the high-grade spiritual stones, the high-level spirit gathering array was also opened simultaneously, slowly gathering the spiritual energy in and around Tongtian Peak.
However, the high-level spirit-gathering formation is extremely clever, and the spiritual energy of Tongtian Peak is completely sufficient, so the movement caused by the operation of the formation is not big, and not many monks notice it.
The effect of the high-level spirit gathering array, coupled with the level of Tongtian Peak itself, and the aura of Liu Yu's retreat cave, have reached the fourth-level mid-level level, which can provide a lot of help to break through the bottleneck.
If you are in your own cave, even with the assistance of a high-level spirit gathering array, it will be difficult for the spiritual energy concentration to reach the fourth level.
Of course, all this is indispensable without the acquiescence of Patriarch Tianfeng.
"boom!!!"
A sound like thunderous waves came from within Liu Yu's body.
The extremely pure magic power of the ninth-grade golden elixir circulates, and the thick and fiery blood of Xingchen's true body boils.
When the spirit gathering array was activated, he entered a breakthrough state.
The extremely pure solid mana circulates along the meridians of the ninth level of Qingyang Gong at an extremely fast speed in an instant.
Looking inside with spiritual consciousness, the "Lake of Mana" in Dantian is now as vast as a river compared to when it was refining Qi and building the foundation.
But at this moment, when Liu Yu started to attack the bottleneck, the originally calm "lake" suddenly became choppy, like a flood.
On the vast surface of the Mana Lake, a blue golden elixir the size of an adult's fist rotates slowly, round and full without any flaws.
One gold, eight silver and nine traces, as if naturally formed, are engraved on the surface of the golden elixir without any sense of disharmony.
This mark is invisible to the naked eye and can only be sensed and observed with the spiritual sense.
Even if the low-grade golden elixir is cultivated to the peak of the golden elixir, its golden elixir is only the size of an egg at most, and there is no possibility of giving birth to a Nascent Soul.
This point is almost impossible to change even if there are spiritual creatures that defy the heavens.
Forcibly trying to break the pill to become a baby will only lead to death.
The middle-grade golden elixir is superior to many, and can grow to the size of a goose egg at most. It is possible to break the elixir into a baby, and retain the hope of being promoted to the Nascent Soul.
It's just that the middle-grade golden elixir still has too many flaws, and the Yuanying born from it is often born with deficiencies and can only be regarded as mediocre in the realm of Yuanying.
Because of this, there is almost no hope of being promoted to a god.
However, compared to the low-grade, the middle-grade golden elixir is still much better. Various deficiencies can be made up for by using fourth-order and fifth-order spiritual objects, if the opportunity arises.
Only the Nascent Soul born from top-grade golden elixirs is "healthy" enough, and its strength at the same level will often be significantly better than that of the former.
And theoretically, the hope of being promoted to the Divine Transformation is much greater than that of ordinary Nascent Soul.
"Whoosh~"
As the skill moves, the adult-sized golden elixir is selected faster and faster, triggering a "storm" in the Dantian.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Liu Yu felt that the nine traces on it were brighter than before.
Generally speaking, Jindan monks mainly face four major difficulties when trying to break through the Nascent Soul bottleneck.
The first difficulty is to integrate the soul into the golden elixir and then "give birth to the soul".
This level is relatively risky, and the possibility of failure is low. However, the vast majority of golden elixir monks fail at this level.
Once the source of the golden elixir is consumed too much and the Yuanying is not generally formed, it means that the attack on the bottleneck has failed.
And because there is too much source loss, the golden elixir may collapse directly if it fails. Therefore, although the risk is relatively small, the mortality rate remains high.
Changfeng Zhenren fell at this first level. Fortunately, he could not give up decisively and transferred the prototype of his soul in time.
The essence of the golden elixir was not depleted too much, and only one life was saved.
But because of this, Jin Dan suffered injuries that were almost incurable, and his strength declined a lot and was not as good as before.
However, for high-grade golden elixirs, because the origin of the golden elixir is much stronger than that of middle- and lower-grade ones, this level is relatively simple, and the chance of successfully passing it is relatively high.
The ninth-grade golden elixir is "perfect", has an extremely strong origin and has the highest chance of success, and has many innate advantages.
The second difficulty is "breaking the pill into a baby".
At this time, the Nascent Soul within the golden elixir has been roughly formed, and the Yuan Shen and the prototype of the Nascent Soul have merged into one, making it difficult to transfer easily.
It is necessary to break the golden elixir and break away from the "shackles" before the Nascent Soul can be truly "born".
At this time, the structure of the golden elixir has undergone irreversible changes, and it is difficult to return to its previous state.
If the pill cannot be broken successfully within a certain period of time, the prototype of the Nascent Soul will also perish.
At this point, there is no turning back.
Throughout the world of cultivating immortals, with millions of years of history clearly documented, there has never been a monk who could survive after failing to break the pill.
Failure will result in death!
As for the third and fourth levels, they are the "Heart Demon Tribulation" and the "Thunder Tribulation".
It’s pretty much the same as when attacking the golden elixir, but the difference in power is immeasurable, so I won’t go into details here.
The waves of the lake of mana are turbulent, the energy and blood all over the body are surging and active, and the blue golden elixir is spinning at high speed.
"it's time."
Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu entered the best state to attack the bottleneck. Putting all kinds of infant-forming spiritual objects in front of him, Liu Yu flashed this idea.
Immediately, the fiery red and condensed Yuanshen moved, leaving Niwan Palace and moving towards Dantian.
After a breath, a large red light group, almost the size of a millstone, appeared on the turbulent Lake of Mana, looking at the high-speed rotating golden elixir at close range.
"Once you start, there is no turning back!"
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and Liu Yu strengthened her inner belief.
Controlling the spirit without hesitation, he slowly approaches the golden elixir, like a moth embracing the flame!
The way to cultivate immortality is to advance without retreating!
