Chapter 321 Breakthrough in Strength
Yun Yao locked herself in the training room, as if isolated from the world, and immersed herself wholeheartedly in the arduous journey of training.
The training room was filled with a strong spiritual energy. The ancient runes engraved on the walls around her emitted a faint glow, as if responding to Yun Yao's efforts. She sat cross-legged, her eyes closed, her mind immersed in her body, and carefully sensed every flow of spiritual energy. According to the unique exercises provided by the system, Yun Yao carefully guided the spiritual energy, allowing it to flow slowly in the meridians, just like taming a naughty stream and letting it rush along the predetermined river course.
At first, the spiritual power did not flow smoothly. Every time it advanced, it seemed to break through many obstacles, causing the blood in Yun Yao's body to surge and bursts of pain. But she gritted her teeth, her resolute expression did not waver at all, and she had only one belief in her heart: to become stronger. Time passed quietly, and in this quiet space, Yun Yao forgot all the disturbances in the outside world and focused on one thing.
After an unknown amount of time, she felt as if she had touched a barrier, which was the key level to advance from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Dan Gathering Realm. Yun Yao knew that this was a crucial step on the road of cultivation. Once she broke through, her strength would make a qualitative leap. But this barrier was like an indestructible fortress, and no matter how she attacked, it did not move at all.
Yun Yao was not discouraged. She calmed down and reviewed the cultivation experience given by the system, trying to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she remembered that she had seen records about the fusion of state of mind and spiritual power in ancient books. At this moment, she no longer blindly attacked, but tried to relax her state of mind, sorted out the past grievances, unwillingness, attachment and many other emotions one by one, turned them into an invisible force, and integrated them into the spiritual power.
At this moment, something miraculous happened. The originally violent and disordered spiritual power gradually became docile and rhythmic, like a well-trained army, charging at the barrier in an orderly manner. Yun Yao only felt a loud bang in her body, and the barrier that was as solid as a rock began to show cracks.
She struck while the iron was hot and increased the output of spiritual power. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, but she was unaware of it. With the continuous impact of spiritual power, the cracks became more and more numerous and larger, until finally, with a "crack", the barrier was completely shattered, and a surging force instantly erupted in her body.
Yun Yao successfully broke through and entered the Judan realm! In an instant, the training room was radiant with light, and colorful rays of light shot out through the gaps in the doors and windows, illuminating the surrounding area. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations spread out from her as the center, as if a spiritual power storm had been set off, causing the buildings in the sect to tremble slightly.
The disciples in the sect were all attracted by this astonishing wave. They stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of Yun Yao, their faces filled with shock and envy.
"Which senior has made a breakthrough? Such a powerful fluctuation of spiritual power, could it be that he has directly crossed several realms?" A young disciple widened his eyes and exclaimed.
“Look at this direction, it seems like that’s where Senior Sister Yun Yao is practicing. I didn’t expect that she is so powerful and has broken through to the Judan realm at such a young age!” The disciple who is familiar with Yun Yao said with a little admiration.
At this time, Chu Mochen, who was resting with his eyes closed in his residence, suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He was very familiar with Yun Yao's spiritual energy. Feeling this fluctuation, he was happy for her, but also a little disappointed. He was happy that Yun Yao had reached a new level of strength through her own efforts; he was disappointed that he knew that a gap had quietly formed between them due to the previous misunderstanding, and he had not yet found a suitable way to fill it.
Chu Mochen stood up and looked towards the direction of Yun Yao's training room. He stood there for a long time, feeling mixed emotions. He recalled the first time he met Yun Yao, how she was smart and intelligent but also a bit stubborn. She had a hard time surviving in the palace, growing up step by step, and now she has made a name for herself in the world of cultivation. Every scene was vivid in his mind. He regretted his carelessness, which allowed Liu Yan'er to take advantage of the opportunity and destroyed their originally beautiful friendship.
"Yun Yao, I will never let you suffer any injustice again. I will let you know my feelings." Chu Mochen murmured to himself, secretly clenching his fists, his eyes full of determination.
In the training room, Yun Yao was immersed in the wonderful state after the breakthrough, feeling the powerful spiritual power in her body, full of joy. She knew that along the way, she had gone through countless hardships, with the help of the system and her own persistence. Now, she has finally taken another step towards the peak, with stronger strength, and she has more confidence to face many unknown challenges in the future.
But when the joy gradually subsided, Chu Mochen's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind. Yun Yao frowned slightly and sighed in her heart. Although she decided to let go of this relationship and focus on cultivation, when it really came to the critical moment, those past memories still came like a tide, and it was difficult to completely let go.
“Forget it, now that I’ve made a breakthrough, I won’t think about these troubles anymore. I have my own path to follow, and I should focus on pursuing a higher realm.” Yun Yao took a deep breath, forced down the turmoil in her heart, and stood up to leave the training room.
She pushed open the door and saw that many disciples had already gathered outside. When they saw her come out, they surrounded her and gave her sincere congratulations.
“Senior Sister Yunyao, congratulations! Your breakthrough is really an eye-opener for us. I’ll have to rely on your guidance in the future!” said a lively female disciple with a smile.
"Yes, Senior Sister is extremely talented and hardworking. Such achievements are well deserved. She will surely shine in the world of cultivation in the future!" Other disciples also echoed.
Yun Yao responded with a smile, showing her humility. As she was speaking, the elders of the sect also rushed over after hearing the news, and looked at Yun Yao with eyes full of satisfaction and appreciation.
“Yun Yao, this breakthrough was not easy! You have brought honor to our sect, and also laid a solid foundation for your own path of cultivation. In the future, you must guard against arrogance and impatience, and continue to forge ahead.” The elder said earnestly.
“Don’t worry, Elder. Yun Yao will remember your teachings and live up to your expectations.” Yun Yao bowed respectfully.
After everyone dispersed, Yun Yao walked alone on the path of the sect, thinking about the next direction of cultivation. She knew that although the Judan Realm was a major breakthrough, it was just a small step in this world of cultivation where there were so many powerful people. There were still many peaks waiting to be climbed, such as the Yuanying Realm and the Huashen Realm, and every step was full of difficulties and obstacles.
At this time, Chu Mochen was also secretly planning in his heart. He decided to find a suitable time to confess his feelings to Yun Yao and resolve the misunderstanding. He began to pay attention to Yun Yao's whereabouts, hoping to have a good talk with her when she was alone, but Yun Yao seemed to avoid him intentionally or unintentionally, so he couldn't find a suitable opportunity for a while.
As the days passed, Yun Yao continued to practice diligently every day, filling her schedule. She frequently went in and out of the library, looking for ancient books and techniques that would help consolidate her realm and improve her strength. She also often went to the sect's practice field to learn from other disciples and gain experience in actual combat.
Chu Mochen, while silently paying attention to Yun Yao, is also working hard to improve his own strength. He knows that only if he is strong enough can he fight side by side with Yun Yao in the future and protect her from harm. He goes to the dangerous place behind the sect alone, fights with ferocious monsters, and obtains precious inner pills and materials to refine pills and strengthen magic weapons.
By chance, Yun Yao encountered a problem while reading an obscure ancient book in the library. The part about the transformation and application of spiritual power in the book was extremely complicated. She pondered for a long time but still couldn't get the point. Just when she was frowning and in trouble, Chu Mochen happened to walk into the library.
He saw Yun Yao at a glance, his heart moved, and he walked towards her involuntarily.
"Yun Yao, are you in trouble?" Chu Mochen asked softly, with some concern in his voice.
Yun Yao looked up and saw Chu Mochen. She was slightly startled and subconsciously wanted to avoid him. But seeing the sincere look in his eyes and thinking that she really needed help at the moment, she hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I have studied this ancient book for a long time, but the part about the method of transforming spiritual power is really obscure and difficult to understand." Yun Yao said truthfully.
Chu Mochen nodded slightly, sat down beside her, and carefully read the contents of the ancient book. He pondered for a moment, then began to explain patiently, breaking down the complex theories in easy-to-understand language, and combined his own practice experience to answer Yun Yao's questions.
Yun Yao listened quietly, and had to admit in her heart that Chu Mochen had a deep attainment in cultivation. His explanation was like a key, gradually opening the door to her doubts. Unconsciously, the atmosphere between the two became harmonious, as if they had returned to the good old days when they practiced together and grew together.
But when the explanation was over, Yun Yao realized the intimacy at the moment, panicked, and hurriedly stood up, thanked him and left in a hurry. Chu Mochen looked at her leaving back and sighed helplessly, knowing that there was still a long way to go to completely win her heart back.
After that, although Yun Yao deliberately kept a distance from Chu Mochen, she became more and more diligent in her cultivation. She began to try some more difficult and dangerous cultivation methods, just to improve her strength in the shortest time. She entered the forbidden area of the sect, where the spiritual power was violent and the environment was harsh. If she was not careful, her life would be in danger. But Yun Yao relied on her tenacious will and the assistance of the system to escape danger again and again, and gained a lot from it.
Chu Mochen did not give up. He asked around about Yun Yao's preferences and collected all kinds of rare spiritual objects in an attempt to impress her. He learned that Yun Yao liked a spiritual flower that grew on cliffs, so he climbed the steep mountain regardless of the danger, and after many hardships, he finally picked the spiritual flower. When he happily took the spiritual flower to find Yun Yao, he found that she had gone into seclusion to practice again, so he had to leave sadly, and kept the spiritual flower properly, waiting for the right time.
During this chase and hiding, Yun Yao's strength has steadily improved, and her prestige in the sect has also been getting higher and higher. She has proved with her actions that even if her feelings are frustrated, she can still shine on the road of cultivation. And Chu Mochen is also working hard silently, looking forward to the day when he can work hand in hand with Yun Yao and return to the sweetness of the past.
