From the first day of retreat, Zhang Yan has been breathing in spiritual energy with all his strength, and this time is different from the past. In addition to the spiritual energy of merit, natural breathing income, and spiritual stones, Zhang Yan also has the Peiyuan Pill.
New method. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy is naturally faster.
On the afternoon of the sixth day after seclusion, Zhang Yan felt that the barrier in the middle stage of the Return to God Realm was in front of him, and it was actually touchable, so he gathered his strength and officially started to break through.
But with this breakthrough, Zhang Yan soon discovered that it was different from the past.
In the past, including the early stage of entering the realm of returning to the gods, the breakthrough of the realm was achieved through spiritual energy first, and then the test of understanding the "Tao" was entered. After that, the breakthrough was successful if the two levels were passed, and vice versa.
But this time, there is a new level behind the understanding of "Tao": the tempering of the soul.
This process does not require Zhang Yan to do it deliberately. When he started to officially break through, there was a force pulling his soul to start beating according to a mysterious trajectory. The actual effect of the beating actually came from him.
The yang energy itself, or in other words, the yang energy in his body was used as a hammer, hitting his soul again and again.
It seems that he is hammering himself, but the initiative is not in his own hands. It is guided by the "Tao". What is tested is the foundation of the soul and the degree of understanding of the "Tao". If there is a slight deviation, this kind of beating will be
Mistakes will occur, and the direct consequence will be damage to the soul. Not only will the breakthrough fail, but the cultivation base will also be regressed and damage the Tao foundation.
No wonder the Taoist books say that there are dangers every step after returning to the realm of gods. Tests from heaven and earth are indeed everywhere. They even penetrate into the key points of realm breakthrough, making it difficult to avoid.
Zhang Yan was a little nervous at first, but he soon regained his composure because he found that the help given to him by the Heaven and Earth in the Wild Heaven Territory was still sufficient and timely. Even if it was a test, he cooperated with the beating, and bit by bit he would get the appropriate help.
"Principle" was poured into his consciousness and engraved on it.
Although everything was like rock climbing on a cliff, the slightest mistake could be fatal, but it happened to be just right. Zhang Yan didn't even feel the slightest twists and turns during the process.
Maybe his method of breakthrough is foolproof? Zhang Yan thought. Then he fell into the realization of the "principles" newly poured into his consciousness.
Without the feeling of hunger, and with his mind immersed in the understanding of "principles", Zhang Yan lost his sense of time for the first time. It seemed that there was no difference between one day and one month for him in this state, and even
It seemed like just a moment.
Until suddenly, the soul trembled, and the one who was beating was no longer just his own Yang energy, but a force of Yang energy rushed down from the top of his head without any warning, and followed the beating in the interval, and the force was stronger than
The previous beatings were much bigger.
This shock brought Zhang Yan back to his senses, but he still didn't panic because Zhang Yan's spirit at this time was no longer the same as before.
Youdao is "Thousands of times of hard work". Beating with Yang Qi will have a direct effect of hammering the emptiness of the soul into a stronger and tighter state. Secondly, with every beating, a trace of Yang Qi will penetrate along with the force of the beating.
In the Yuan Shen, Zhang Yan's Yuan Shen underwent great changes after accumulating step by step.
Therefore, when the inexplicable extreme yang energy hit, although Zhang Yan felt as if he was hit by a fireball, his soul was not damaged, but there was a burning sensation of being exposed to high temperatures. In contrast, these hits could
Smashing his soul tighter, more yang energy penetrated into it.
At this time, Zhang Yan could no longer comprehend anything calmly, because even though the conjoined souls could bear it, the taste was equally uncomfortable. Especially the burning sensation, which came from the deepest part to the outside.
There is absolutely no way to suppress it.
Fortunately, the impact of the ultimate Yang Qi from the outside did not last long. It lasted almost as long as a cup of tea. The surface of Zhang Yan's soul was covered with a golden Yang Qi, as if it were plated with a layer of golden Yang Qi.
After the outer skin is removed, this impact will completely disappear.
Immediately afterwards, a sudden enlightenment arose in Zhang Yan's heart.
The primordial spirit appears! The middle stage of returning to the spirit has been completed!
Zhang Yan's whole body was shaken, and a mighty aura spread out in all directions, and a clear whistle came from his mouth to vent the joy in his heart.
After a while, Zhang Yan sat down cross-legged again, took out a spiritual stone and held it in his hand, and continued to practice to consolidate it before breaking through.
After that, the passage of time returned to Zhang Yan's conscious awareness, and the past time was also remembered by him again. He realized that he had spent a month and a half in seclusion this time.
Another half month passed before Zhang Yan completely stabilized his illusory state. From now on, he could slowly return to the normal pace of practice. So he got up and walked out of the quiet room where he had stayed for more than two months.
"Yan'er! You're coming out!"
The Zhang family, headed by Wang Lanping, immediately rushed over, with concern on their faces. After all, two months was a long time in their minds. It was unimaginable to not eat or drink. Besides, practicing cultivation was not easy, so they were very worried.
Will something happen to Zhang Yan in the meantime?
"Congratulations, master, on your great improvement in cultivation!" He Xianghong knelt down and congratulated, letting everyone in the room know that Zhang Yan not only came out of the retreat successfully, but also completed the improvement of his cultivation.
In fact, He Xianghong's feelings are rather vague. After all, he is a cultivator, and he can only feel Zhang Yan's power through his spiritual sense. When Zhang Yan was compared before and after the retreat, He Xianghong's strength was clear in his mind, and he naturally knew that Zhang Yan must have achieved a realm.
A big step forward.
The ones who really feel it most clearly are Wang Nian's three children. Although they can't look up to Zhang Yan's back, they are monks from the same origin and can still feel the great progress of their teacher.
"Teacher, what state are you in now?" Wang Nian has always been curious about this question. He didn't dare to ask it before, but this time because Zhang Yan has been in seclusion for too long, and thinking of that magical vision, he couldn't help it.
Thinking that at most he would be beaten, he gritted his teeth and asked anyway.
"Middle stage of the God Returning Realm." Zhang Yan smiled and did not shy away from this. But this was also the first time he talked about his cultivation realm in the presence of others.
The three children were thoughtful when they heard the words. It is estimated that in their opinion, the Qi, Xuan Veins, and Dao Pills will be followed by the Return to God. It seems that it is not far away from them. Perhaps they are already thinking about themselves based on their current cultivation speed.
How long will it take for Zhang Yan to reach his current level? Especially Liu Rui, whose big eyes are full of expectations for the future.
Zhang Yan glanced at it for a few times but didn't say anything. How could cultivation be so simple? Especially for monks who don't have the help of the Desolate Heaven Realm, it is estimated that only they can slowly understand the difficulty.
