Chapter 100: Frantic Breakthrough, Direct to the Profound Mystery
A tremendous pressure surged wildly from within Liu Qingxuan's body.
HUM!
The raging aura swept out like a whirlwind picking up scattered clouds.
Bai Luqiu's expression changed; she lightly tapped the ground with her toes, retreating quickly. Aiya, it seems like Master is angry.
Liu Qingdai had originally been sulking inside the house, but she was startled when she saw this scene. What happened, what happened? What's going on here?
She dashed out of the house but was blocked by the array method.
"Dad, you..."
Just as Liu Qingdai was about to speak, she saw the aura on Liu Qingxuan's body abruptly retract, and then he swept his hand majestically.
Another Prohibition was flung out.
In an instant, all sound was isolated. Liu Qingdai was bewildered. Huh? No, what are you guys doing? Is there something you have to discuss behind my back?
"Hey!" Liu Qingdai was somewhat anxious, stretching her hand out to furiously bang on the light barrier trapping her.
Liu Qingxuan, however, turned his head, his face revealing a warm smile, and said, "Luqiu, tell your Master honestly, what happened these past two days?"
Bai Luqiu glanced at Liu Qingdai bouncing up and down inside the light barrier, blinked her clear, lively eyes, and then spoke expressionlessly, "Master, do you believe in love at first sight?"
"Love at first... sight..." Liu Qingxuan's temple twitched, an involuntary fist forming. Impossible, absolutely impossible! If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of him was his beloved disciple, he would have punched her. Stop talking nonsense!
"Continue," Liu Qingxuan said, steadying his heart and exhaling a breath of stale air.
"Yes!"
「A moment later.」
"Master, that's how it is. Your disciple will take her leave first." Bai Luqiu turned and walked away.
She had recounted the events of the past few days to Liu Qingxuan: all about being alone with a man, being chased and attacked, facing life and death together, as well as the Wonderous Powder and such. At the same time, she added a smidgeon of personal emotion into the descriptions.
Hearing the latter part, Liu Qingxuan's entire face darkened.
Aiya, so amusing. Bai Luqiu's steps were light, a smile playing on the corners of her eyes and brows. Who would have thought she'd get to see the day Master's face would turn dark!
"Eh, why is she leaving? What exactly did Luqiu say?" Liu Qingdai tiptoed, looking left and right within the barrier, clearly anxious.
"Wonderous Palace... Wang Shouzhen..." As for Liu Qingxuan, he stood in place with a furrowed brow, his face alternating between shades of red and white. Just like the weather, his expressions were constantly changing, unpredictable.
He certainly did not believe that Liu Qingdai would suddenly have someone in her heart. Impossible. With him being such a heroic, handsome, masculine, and dashing father, Liu Qingdai's standards for choosing a spouse must be extremely high. How could she possibly fall for someone at first sight?
However, the moment he heard the words "Wonderous Palace," he became somewhat worried. There were too many malicious elixirs in the Wonderous Palace. Liu Qingdai had been affected by the Wonderous Powder, which indeed might have stirred some abnormal affections.
One month of facing the wall might not be enough... Liu Qingxuan looked up at the array method he had casually set before. After some thought, he added two more Prohibitions, doubling the wall-facing time.
Liu Qingdai was even more confused. What's going on? Why did he suddenly add two more Prohibitions?
I must find some elixirs to remove hidden dangers completely, Liu Qingxuan pondered briefly, then nodded and vanished.
Liu Qingdai was utterly baffled. What? What does this mean? Why did he just leave? She was truly confused.
「At that moment.」
Wen Zhixing was staying obediently inside his little wooden house.
Jade bottles appeared one after another in his hands. A large number of elixirs were thrown into his mouth without hesitation.
The Purgatory Furnace blazed furiously, and his Spiritual Qi cultivation began to rise rapidly. His complexion turned even redder. The surging Spiritual Qi flowed within him like a tide.
Time swiftly passed.
「One day later.」
[Your Spiritual Qi cultivation has improved; current realm: Qi Movement Realm, Sixth Level.]
I've broken through. Wen Zhixing opened his eyes, glanced at his Universe Belt which was full of elixirs, and continued to consume them without pause. He chose not to rest.
「Another day passed.」
[Your Spiritual Qi cultivation has improved; current realm: Qi Movement Realm, Seventh Level.]
...
[Your Spiritual Qi cultivation has improved...]
[Your Spiritual Qi cultivation has improved; current realm: Qi Movement Realm, Tenth Level.]
「For seven consecutive days.」
Wen Zhixing did not rest for even a moment, and he ultimately broke through to the peak of the Qi Movement Realm with extreme ease. Such a terrifying speed of advancement, if spoken of, would likely be believed by no one.
I've reached the peak of the Qi Movement Realm! At this moment, Wen Zhixing's complexion was red; his Sea of Qi now brimming with an oceanic amount of Spiritual Qi.
The Purgatory Furnace had been working at high intensity for a week. This was only possible because he possessed the Longevity Body. If it were any ordinary person, they would likely have already exploded from the force of this Spiritual Qi.
It seems I can still absorb more... Wen Zhixing's thoughts stirred. For others, reaching this step in their cultivation would mean they had reached the limit of the Qi Movement Realm. The total volume of Spiritual Qi wouldn't change. If there were to be a change, it could only come from improving its "quality." But Wen Zhixing was different; his Sea of Qi was expanding unceasingly. It was as though the total volume of his Spiritual Qi had no limits.
What a pity, my life-span has not increased, Wen Zhixing sighed to himself. Unlike when he was in the Shedding Mortal Realm, his life-span did not increase with his rising Spiritual Qi cultivation.
The problem still lies with the divine soul, Wen Zhixing pondered slightly. His fleshly body had long been free from the constraints of a limited life-span. It was his divine soul that was inadequate. An increase in Spiritual Qi cultivation could not strengthen his divine soul. Consequently, his life-span naturally remained unchanged.
BOOM!
Just then, an explosive rumbling emerged from Wen Zhixing's mind. As his Spiritual Qi cultivation reached the Tenth Level, his soul platform in the Sea of Sense also began to thunder. The Spiritual Qi in his Sea of Qi surged like a geyser. In an instant, Qi filled his entire body, flowing through his meridians and reaching the soul platform. The soul platform within the Sea of Sense, which had been obscured by fog, began to be cleared by the mighty Spiritual Qi.
I'm beginning the breakthrough into the Mysterious Might Realm! Wen Zhixing's spirit was jolted. This was happening too quickly. He hadn't even completed his preparations, yet everything was falling into place so naturally.
"Heaven Dragon Visualization Chart!" Wen Zhixing focused his breath and concentration, and immediately took out the Heaven Dragon Visualization Chart he had obtained earlier.
His Sea of Sense had not yet opened, and he had not yet reached the Visualization Realm. He could not yet visualize this Heaven Dragon. Nevertheless, this chart could still help him in opening his Sea of Sense. Once the Sea of Sense was open, he would be a cultivator of the Mysterious Might Realm.
The scroll unfurled slowly. The mighty Spiritual Qi also surged into it.
Just as before, in the boundless darkness, an immense Dragon's Eye opened.
BOOM!
This time, it was formed by countless Spiritual Qi condensing into the body of a dragon. The Spiritual Qi dragon roared as it charged towards the soul platform above the Sea of Sense, directly piercing the infinite mist above.
ROAR!
A dragon's roar reverberated through his entire mind. The mist shrouding the soul platform above the Sea of Sense was eagerly devoured by the Spiritual Qi dragon. Immediately after, endless dragon roars echoed within.
The mist gradually thinned, and the Sea of Sense beneath finally became discernible!
[Through your arduous cultivation, you have successfully opened your Sea of Sense.]
[You have reached the Mysterious Might Realm.]
