After learning that Liu Changxu was really safe and sound, everyone in the Liu family was extremely happy, and his mother, Lin Yulian, prepared a sumptuous spiritual meal.
"Father! Mother! I am going to retreat and break through the Nascent Soul in ten days! Please take care of everything at home!"
During the dinner, Liu Changxu suddenly stopped his jade chopsticks and announced his decision to his family:
"Xu'er! Are you sure you can break through the Nascent Soul in seclusion at this time?"
Her mother, Lin Yulian, was relieved to learn that her son was going to seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although it would be a great thing for her and the Liu family if her son successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul, once he failed to break through, it would mean death.
Success will certainly make her mother proud, but failure will be unbearable for her mother.
For my mother, having a white-haired person give away a black-haired person is definitely the greatest misfortune in life!
Father Liu Shihao's face was also very solemn.
You must know that although he has a golden elixir in his hand, he has never made up his mind because he is worried that he will die if he fails.
He felt that his son did not need to be so anxious to break through the Nascent Soul.
The faces of the girls Yang Qingxue, Su Jinxiu, Qin Yulian, Li Zhenxin, Wu Yunyue, Lian'er, Zhang Wenjun, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Qiuyue, and Dongxue also had mixed feelings.
If Liu Changxu really succeeds in breaking through to the Nascent Soul, his (her) status will also rise with the tide!
But the consequences of failure to conceive a baby are also something that women don’t want to see.
"Don't worry! I have made sufficient preparations for this pregnancy.
The key is that I can no longer suppress my cultivation and must retreat as soon as possible!"
Liu Changxu said firmly:
For those who seek immortality, they must not be afraid of danger from the moment they set foot on the path to immortality, otherwise they will only stagnate.
The reason why many immortal cultivators find it difficult to improve in their cultivation is because of the fear of failure.
For cultivators of immortality, every important checkpoint on the road to immortality will face the risk of death.
Qi refining, breakthrough and foundation building are the first important hurdles on the path to immortality. Although they are the least dangerous, once they fail, they will be seriously injured even if they do not die.
When it comes to breaking through the golden elixir, once it fails, there is basically no chance of survival.
The reason why his father Liu Shihao has not been in retreat to break through the golden elixir is because he is worried that failure will lead to his death.
You must know that Liu Shihao is only a hundred years old now. Although this is a lifespan that is beyond the reach of most mortals, for the foundation-building monks, his lifespan has not yet passed half.
At this time, if you take the risk to break through the golden elixir, you will die if you fail. Which is more important must be carefully considered!
Although Liu Changxu's explanation alleviated everyone's worries to a certain extent, the atmosphere of the banquet became quite dull as a result.
"My child wishes his father a successful birth and eternal blessings!"
At this time, Ting'er, who had always been extremely smart, broke the dull atmosphere of the banquet with a blessing and made everyone react.
"My child wishes his father a successful birth and eternal blessings!"
Daughters Liu Fuqi, Liu Fuyan, and sons Liu Fuchao and Liu Fuyang also responded and sent their blessings to their father!
"Very good. During this period of seclusion for my father, you must practice well and don't cause trouble for me! Do you understand?"
Liu Changxu told several children:
"My child understands!"
The five children responded in unison:
"Disciple wishes Master (Uncle) a successful birth and eternal blessings!"
At this time, the two brothers Jiang Hua and Jiang Li also wished Liu Changxu:
"Hua'er! Li'er! During this period of my retreat, you must not relax in your cultivation! I hope that when I come out of seclusion, your cultivation will be further improved!"
Especially Hua'er, if you don't understand something about cultivation, you should ask your master wife!"
Liu Changxu instructed:
"Thank you Master (Uncle Master)!"
The two brothers and sister thanked each other in unison:
"Father, when do you plan to retreat and break through the golden elixir!"
Liu Changxu had given his father the golden elixir a long time ago, but he did not expect that his father had not retreated to form the elixir until now.
Although my father still has enough time to form an elixir, the younger he is, the greater his chance of success.
“I always feel like I’m not sure about breaking through the golden elixir!”
Father Liu Shihao said with some shame:
Liu Changxu instantly understood what his father meant. It seemed that his father still had no confidence in him!
"Well, I'll help you after I have a baby!"
Liu Changxu said:
Due to time constraints, Liu Changxu was very busy in the next few days.
During the day, Liu Changxu was busy doing various preparatory activities before retreating. Of course, the most important thing was to find a suitable place for retreat to overcome the tribulation.
At night, he tried his best to appease his women. Not counting Su Jinxiu and Qin Yulian, who were not yet married and had a relationship, the number of Liu Changxu's wives and concubines has reached nine, namely Yang Qingxue, Li Zhenxin, Wu Yunyue, Lian'er,
Having to deal with so many women at the same time is also a big burden for Liu Changxu, a Golden Elixir Dzogchen monk. If Liu Changxu was not a physical practitioner, it would be difficult to meet the needs of his women.
Fortunately, Li Zhenxin's nine daughters have already formed a tacit understanding on the issue of accompanying her husband. They are divided into three groups and rotate every three days.
On the first day, Yang Qingxue, this is because she has the highest level of cultivation and can satisfy her husband's needs by herself.
Liu Changxu's other women simply can't do this.
On the second day, Li Zhenxin, Wu Yunyue, Lian'er, and Zhang Wenjun.
On the third day, there are four girls: Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuyue, and Dongxue.
The arrangement of the nine girls also gave Liu Changxu a lot of peace of mind, as nothing happened that he didn't want to see.
Ten days later in the morning, after bidding farewell to their parents and family, Liu Changxu and Yang Qingxue arrived at Jinji Ridge, the place they had chosen to escape the tribulation, after flying for two hours.
Jinjiling is a retreat place specially prepared by the Qingyun Sect for its disciples to break through the Nascent Soul.
The entire Jinji Ridge stretches up and down, with a radius of hundreds of miles. There is a fourth-order low-grade spiritual vein underground. The spiritual energy is extremely abundant, which is enough to meet the spiritual power needs of the monks when they break through.
However, the sect chose this place as a key factor for its disciples to break through the tribulation, because the mountains of Jinji Ridge are mostly hard rocks, and few precious spiritual plants grow there.
It is twenty thousand miles away from Baiyun Peak. Although it is far, it is nothing to Liu Changxu, a Golden Elixir Dzogchen monk.
After Liu Changxu and Yang Qingxue patrolled the sky over Jinji Ridge, they found an unnamed peak with abundant spiritual energy to land on.
This mountain peak is about three thousand feet high. The entire mountain is mostly made of low-level diamond rocks. From a distance, it looks like a golden mountain.
Both Liu Changxu and Yang Qingxue were very satisfied with this mountain peak.
Next, the two began to set up a defensive formation on the mountain peak.
In order to successfully overcome the tribulation, the formation Liu Changxu arranged was the third-level top-grade diamond formation that he had just exchanged for his sect's merit points. It was very suitable for deployment in Jinji Ridge.
After the formation was set up and Liu Changxu used his token to activate the formation, the spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly poured in crazily, and a golden light curtain suddenly rose in the sky.
Then Liu Changxu sacrificed the Ruyi Lotus Palace and placed it on the top of the mountain.
At this point, the preparation work has been completed.
Liu Changxu and Yang Qingxue immediately entered the Ruyi Lotus Palace and began a passionate double cultivation.
Because there were only two people in the Ruyi Lotus Palace, and other family members including parents were at Baiyun Peak and did not come over. The two people who did not take care of it were very happy!
Three days later, Yang Qingxue reluctantly left Liu Changxu's side and flew to live on a mountain a hundred miles away.
