This was the first feeling Wu Jie had when he began to use magic power to forcibly compress the infuriating energy filling his body.
In every realm of cultivation, you will encounter some obstacles when you break through. Although these obstacles may be big or small, difficult or easy, even if they are relatively easy, they are actually not that simple.
In fact, let alone a breakthrough in a big realm, even a breakthrough in a small realm would stump many people. When Wu Jie fought against many casual cultivators on the Immortal Mountain in the East China Sea, many of them were killed by a certain person.
Blocked by a small realm, it has been impossible to break through.
If you want to break through the realm, you first need deep accumulation - it doesn't matter whether you rely on self-cultivation or external forces, because it is just the most basic requirement. Only after meeting this condition can a breakthrough be possible.
In addition to accumulation, you also need to have a suitable opportunity. This opportunity can be a breakthrough in the state of mind, it can be a natural result of deep cultivation, or it can be the enlightenment of an expert - of course, the most reliable one is that you have good skills and have
A logical way to break through bottlenecks.
With the foundation and opportunity, what remains is whether the monk's "heart" can match his "power". "Heart" is a very mysterious concept, which often manifests itself as the condensation of the soul and the tenacity of the mind, but not always.
, many people whose souls are not condensed enough and their minds are not tough enough will still have a "heart" that can match extremely high levels of power. However, as far as common sense is concerned, the more condensed the soul, the tougher the will, the more complete the wisdom, the clearer the spirit, the clearer the heart.
will be stronger.
After meeting these three factors, breaking through the bottleneck is not a problem. However, it is easier said than done. Throughout the ages, countless monks have fallen in front of bottlenecks one after another. It’s not that they don’t know how to break through, but knowing it doesn’t mean they can do it.
To - for example, the level of seeing one's nature and becoming a secluded person
, everyone knows that "loving life and not fearing death" is the key to enlightening one's nature, but not everyone can achieve it; another example is the level of Gang refining, everyone knows that it is necessary to integrate Yin and Yang Qi to stimulate Gang Qi.
But how to integrate? How to activate? How to control after activation? These are all questions.
The same is true for the level of Condensing Yuan. Even Luo Yu, who was just a fan of cultivating immortals at the beginning, knew that "Condensing Yuan" is to condense the true energy into true Yuan, so as to produce essential breakthroughs, achieve immortal body, and obtain all kinds of extraordinary things.
She has magical powers. But how to condense the true energy into true energy? She has no clue at all.
The Lingxiao Fire Department Zhengfa naturally also has the technique of condensing the essence, which requires the practitioner to turn the magic power into infinite fire power, and then use the fire power as a push to forcibly compress the true energy until the true energy that has been compressed beyond the limit is transformed into true essence.
This method is simple and clear, full of the simple, rough and efficient temperament of the Heavenly Fighting God. It is also very reliable in practice, as long as you have enough mana, abundant energy, a strong body... and you can endure hardship.
Yes, the secret book repeatedly emphasized that breaking through the Yuan Condensation with this method is "quite painful" and requires "psychological preparation." Wu Jie was also mentally prepared, but he really did not expect that this would be "quite painful."
"The four words have obviously been beautified countless times!
What does "quite painful" mean? He's in so much pain now that he feels like he's about to die, okay?
Firepower is a brutal and brutal force, and the effect of using it to compress the true energy is indeed very good. In just the blink of an eye, Wu Jie felt that his originally full true energy had been compressed by at least one third, and the degree of condensation was
Greatly improved.
But what followed was a sharp stabbing pain from all the meridians and acupoints. It was like steel needles were stuck all over the body, going deep into the bone marrow one by one - and they were still spinning.
Turn!
His eyes were so painful that he wanted to scream, but he found that the zhenqi had locked the key points, and he could not even make a sound. He wanted to struggle, but his body was also locked by the zhenqi, and not even a finger could be heard.
Can't move.
This is of course the design of the Fire Department Zhengfa. "Posture" is a very important part when condensing the essence. If the posture is appropriate, the flow of true energy will be faster. Although it is only a little bit inconspicuous at ordinary times, but here
When you pass the test, it may determine your success or failure.
Therefore, when the essence is condensed, it will directly lock the body of the cultivator, allowing them to maintain an optimal posture. Not only can they not move, they cannot even scream. Unless they succeed or fail in breaking through the level, they can only
Suffering like this motionless.
Of course, if necessary, Wu Jie can stop the pass at any time. Although it will fail, it can avoid unexpected dangers-at this point, the Fire Department Zhengfa is better than many Kung Fu. For example, Tai Shang Jiu
The supreme and wonderful method of turning the Alchemy Sutra must not be disturbed when crossing the barrier. If there is an invasion by foreign enemies while crossing the barrier, it is basically a dead end.
There is no such problem in the Fire Department Zhengfa. Even when the rush is most critical, you can stop at any time, draw your sword and stand up to fight for 300 rounds. There is absolutely no need to worry about dangers such as the backflow of true energy.
Jasmine once speculated based on this that those heavenly fighting gods usually only have big fights and small fights every day. Fighting is as common as eating and drinking, so they designed this kind of weapon that can ensure combat effectiveness at any time.
The exercises come.
"What a group of interesting guys!" She said with a smile at that time, "If they were born in my time, they must have a lot in common with the Ninth Senior Brother."
"...I think they will attack the Supreme God first."
"Then they are doomed." Jasmine said lightly, "There are many people who come to make trouble, but no one can succeed, and they are no exception."
"Master, you are finishing the test! Is it okay to have random thoughts?" Jasmine noticed that Wu Jie was distracted and asked worriedly.
Wu Jie forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and forced himself to calm down.
He knew that something was wrong with his current situation, and he must have been disturbed by the unexpected severe pain. If this continued, the possibility of successfully completing the test would be greatly reduced.
But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.
It is very clear in the Secret Code of the Ministry of Fire: after you have prepared everything, there are only two words left, persistence.
Wu Jie had already prepared everything he could, so all he could do was "persist."
Perseverance to the end is victory!
In the sky above the refining workshop, the crimson cloud suddenly began to shake, showing some signs of laxity. This meant that Wu's process of deconstructing the Yuan was not going smoothly and he was on the verge of failure.
When the monks break through the barrier, heaven and earth will have their own reactions. The Gangyun is a phenomenon that naturally appears in the process from refining the Gang to condensing the Yuan.
Experienced monks can tell just by looking at the gathering clouds in mid-air what kind of skills the monk is practicing, how deep his cultivation is, and whether the challenge is going smoothly.
For example, for Wu Jie, the red clouds indicate that he practices flame skills, and the condensed fire power is both pure and strong; the brilliance in the clouds indicates that his skills are superb and he has a path to the realm of returning elixirs;
Gang
The cloud is about ten feet in radius, which means that his skill is profound and has almost reached the limit of the Gang Refining realm; but the Gang Cloud shakes and seems to be scattered, which means that he has encountered trouble in the process of passing the level and may fail at any time.
Everyone present was an expert. Seeing this scene, Jiang An and Zhang Long changed their expressions at the same time.
"I just said he was too impatient!" Zhang Long frowned and wanted to go over to help, but stopped - he didn't know if he would be a disservice if he went over now. What if Wu Jie could have broken through this
It would be terrible if he got off the hook and got carried away by his interruption!
"Don't be impatient!" Master Ruiling raised his hand, and his true energy turned into an invisible wall, stopping Jiang An who had already rushed over, "He hasn't failed yet!"
"But if this continues, failure will only be a matter of time!" Jiang An couldn't help but raise his voice a bit, "If he fails to pass the level, he will suffer serious internal injuries. He is not a thick-skinned person like me.
Monsters can’t stand it!”
"Internal injuries are just a minor matter." The light flashed, and Master Shaoguang landed next to him. "If you forcefully interrupt him now, it will greatly affect his confidence in himself. That is a big deal!"
"Confidence?" Jiang An and Zhang Long looked at each other. They really didn't understand. Is a mere amount of confidence more important than internal injuries caused by going crazy?
Seeing their confused looks, Master Shaoguang sighed and told them a secret through sound transmission.
That is a secret spread only among a few monks who return elixirs: whether a monk can successfully return elixirs and whether the process of condensing essence goes smoothly has a great relationship.
If he can successfully condense the essence at once, the monk will have an unreasonable confidence in himself. This confidence is deeply hidden, but when he returns the elixir, it will emerge from somewhere and give him some help.
.
Not only that, from entering the Tao to returning the elixir, passing through the barriers again and again, making breakthroughs again and again... If it can always go smoothly, this confidence will be very strong, and it can at least increase the chance of returning the elixir by 20%!
This secret was only vaguely perceived by people in the past, until the era of the sect's fourteenth generation founder Wang Zhenren, when an expert with the same surname Wang, known as the "Shenjizi", completely summarized this secret, and after he ascended
I told a few close friends before.
The divine machine has a brave and aggressive personality. He has fought thousands of battles in his life and almost never lost, so his confidence in himself is beyond imagination. This confidence gives him a great advantage in practicing and fighting.
Singing and marching forward.
However, after Patriarch Wang’s research, he found that this method is a double-edged sword. Although it can promote cultivation, it also has great hidden dangers. Once you suffer setbacks and your confidence is shaken, future progress will be very slow. Unless you can break through and then build up,
Only when your state of mind is restored to perfection can you move on.
Therefore, this secret was kept and only spread among some elixir-returning monks.
"Wu Jie is also a brave and good fighter. He has rarely lost a battle in his life, and he has also accumulated strong self-confidence. With his Taoist cultivation, failure to pass the level is not terrible. I believe he can stand up again. But if you behave like
If he panics or even comes to rescue him, it is likely to severely damage his confidence in himself and cause hidden dangers."
Master Shaoguang said solemnly: "Don't worry about any internal injuries. We have our own elixir to treat injuries. All we should do now is to wait patiently."
"Are you just waiting here?" Jiang An frowned several times and asked helplessly.
"Maybe you can do another thing." Master Shaoguang said lightly, "Believe him!"
"Wu Jie is not a person who does not know the importance of things. Since he would choose to rush to Guan Ningyuan here and now, he must have some confidence. So we should believe him!"
"But...his condition looks very bad!"
"What a bad thing! The clouds haven't dispersed yet!" An old man with white beard and hair appeared out of thin air without warning, as if he was standing here, "Jiang An, Zhang Long, you are going to be in charge in the future.
People in this sect should not be so irritable when things happen!"
As soon as the old man appeared, everyone, including Master Shaoguang, bowed down and worshiped him, honoring him as the Patriarch.
He is Patriarch Zhang, one of the two Supreme Patriarchs of our sect. He has practiced Taoism for nearly a thousand years and has been the leader for more than 200 years. He has such high prestige that he is not considered a second person in our sect.
Patriarch Zhang taught Jiang An and Zhang Long a lesson, and his eyes fell on the cloud above the furnace again: "In my opinion... he should be able to succeed."
Naturally, no one would refute what the Supreme Patriarch said. Even if Jiang An and Zhang Long couldn't see the meaning of "should succeed" in the Gangyun that seemed to be about to collapse at any time, they would definitely not ask for trouble.
"How many years has this child practiced Taoism?" Patriarch Zhang asked.
"Wu Jie started practicing Taoism at the age of seventeen. He is now sixty-seven years old and has practiced Taoism for fifty-one years." Jiang An rushed to answer.
"After practicing Taoism for fifty-one years, you can condense the true essence..." Patriarch Zhang's white eyebrows moved, showing an expression that was half a smile but not a smile, "It seems...Jiang'an, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to be the leader in the future."
He couldn't help laughing and said: "With his speed, he will definitely be able to successfully return the elixir in the next hundred years. Maybe he will become an elixir-returning monk before the old man has time to ascend - Jiang'an, are you confident that he can return the elixir in a hundred years?"
Inside the elixir?"
Jiang An was stunned and shook his head repeatedly.
It has only been more than forty years since he broke through the Ning Yuan. How could he possibly achieve the Returning Pill within a hundred years!
Among the 26th generation disciples of Qingyang Temple, he has been practicing Taoism for the longest time. He has been practicing Taoism for about 350 years so far, plus another 100 years - 450 years of practicing Taoism. It is not easy to achieve the goal of returning elixirs.
matter!
Among the fellow disciples of the same class, there are some who can possibly do it, but that one is a cultivator who does nothing but practice all day long and refuses to even participate in the performance of the three teachings. It is really unrealistic to expect that kind of person to step forward and serve as the leader.
If this continues, perhaps as Patriarch Zhang said, Wu Jie will achieve the Return of Dan before Jiang An and Zhang Long. When Patriarch Zhang ascends to the throne, among the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh generations of disciples, Wu Jie’s cultivation will be the best.
Because he is probably the only real person who can return elixir...
In that case, I'm afraid we have to make an exception and pass the position of head to Wu Jie!
"In order to avoid this situation, it seems that I can't rush to ascend, old man..." Master Zhang smiled and looked at Jiang An and Zhang Long who looked embarrassed, and then looked at the swaying flower that seemed to be ready at any moment.
Gang Yun, who collapsed but never collapsed, showed a look of hope, "Well, at least I want to see a genius grow up and be able to take over the class of our old guy..."
Of course Wu Jie didn't know that the Supreme Patriarch had such expectations for him. At this moment, he had concentrated all his energy, fighting against the maddening pain while insisting on using magic power to compress the true energy.
Unknowingly, a strange sense of cohesion was glowing in his body. The furnace, which was originally only a rudimentary form, felt this sense of cohesion, swayed rapidly, fell into his Dantian, and glowed. Produce powerful firepower.
The internal and external addition of this firepower and his mana significantly accelerated the compression of the true energy - of course, the pain was also intensified.
But for Wu Jie, no matter how painful it is... that's it - pain is something that you will slowly get used to. It's like those martial artists who practice outer sect Qigong and slap themselves with a board every day. Of course at the beginning It hurt a lot, but then it hurt and hurt, and I got used to it. Then gradually I started not to accept it anymore, and I didn't even feel the pain anymore.
"That's a perversion." Du Xin said calmly, "Psychological perversion, according to the research of a respected person, is called 'masochism'."
"Your venerable man must have something in common with the psychologists on Earth!" Wu Jie said angrily.
But he reacted immediately - he didn't know when the pain had disappeared, he had been able to control his magic power stably, and the compression of his true energy was on the right track. He no longer even had to concentrate on it and could be distracted by other things. .
"Now is the time!" Jasmine shouted, "The time has come to condense the magic weapon of your life!"
Wu Jie was well prepared. While Jasmine was shouting, he had already activated his consciousness according to the introduction of the Fire Department's Zhengfa Secret Book, and probed towards the embryonic furnace in his Dantian.
Along with his spiritual consciousness, the strange power that was being continuously generated in his body also flowed to the furnace, turned around in the furnace, and then flowed back to his body, slowly forming a cycle with each other.
This power contains a hint of the charm of creation, and is also full of the meaning of cohesion, which is the condensation of good fortune that will naturally occur when a monk successfully condenses his energy.
As this condensed meaning formed a cycle in his body, the zhenqi that had been compressed to the extreme began to slowly change, condensing into something thicker, purer, and full of power.
True Yuan!
At the same time, the swaying cloud above the furnace finally stabilized. The cloud was radiant with brilliance, and a group of brilliance was floating and sinking like a pearl.
If you look carefully, you can see that there is a small furnace vaguely inside the ball of light, which is slowly rotating and spitting out various flames.
"It's done!" Patriarch Zhang laughed, and his figure disappeared as abruptly as when he appeared just now, leaving no trace behind.
Master Shaoguang, Master Ruiling, Jiang An and Zhang Long also saw the strange phenomenon of condensation, and they all showed smiles of relief.
From today on, Wu Jie has become a Ning Yuan monk, and has officially entered the last link of the "worldly law" in the world of Kyushu. He has become the highest-level monk in the conventional sense on the land of Kyushu, a figure who can establish a sect!
