Chapter 215: Haunted by Demons
In the main peak, Gu Xiu, who was breaking through, was not so relaxed.
His face was heavy at the moment, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
His temples were throbbing, and his teeth were clenched, which was very strenuous.
Fortunately, in the secret room, a stick of incense was slowly burning, and the fragrance soothed his tired heart and calmed his restless mind.
Beside the futon, bottles and jars were scattered, but there was no time to sort them out.
The first of the three levels of foundation building is the mana level!
He has taken the "foundation building pill" at this moment, and is condensing and compressing the true qi in the dantian.
The misty true qi began to have weight and viscosity.
Then, it turned into liquid, which is also the symbol of a foundation-building cultivator, liquid true essence!
At this point, the mana level is completed.
Following closely, it is the physical level!
The true essence follows the mind and flows out of the dantian, but for the true qi, the smooth meridians become a resistance to the true essence.
At this time, the only thing the cultivator can do is to widen it by force!
"Hmph..."
Gu Xiu groaned, but then endured the pain and continued.
With the protection of the foundation-building pill, there is no danger to life. The only consideration is whether he can bear it.
If he can't bear the pain and faints, it means that the breakthrough has failed.
In the case of blocked meridians and the resistance of the foundation-building pill, the next breakthrough will be more difficult!
And without the foundation-building pill, force a breakthrough.
Not only must you keep your mind steady under the intense pain, but you must also carefully control the expansion of the true essence to avoid making mistakes, causing the meridians to be broken and the body to explode and die!
This tests the cultivator's perseverance, carefulness, and mana control.
It can be said that any cultivator who spontaneously breaks through the foundation is the best among the cultivators.
And both the mana and the mentality have been trained between life and death, and the fighting method is more sharp and the combat power is stronger!
And the price is the success rate of the nine-death survival!
In ancient times, there was no choice but to give it a try.
But since the emergence of the "Foundation Building Pill", very few people have taken this risky move...
"Ah!"
Gu Xiu thought he had adapted and was about to speed up his progress, but the pain in his body still made him instinctively slow down his pace.
People's energy and state are time-limited and cannot be maintained forever.
So breakthroughs are actually time-limited.
If you can't complete the breakthrough in a good state, the success rate will slowly decrease with the passage of time.
Fortunately, after decades of cultivation, his rich experience has kept him stable.
Slowly advancing, he finally completed the widening of the meridians.
When the true essence flows along the meridians into the dantian, the dantian also slowly expands.
This cycle is getting smoother and smoother.
In this process, the magic power gradually merges into the flesh, helping the body to transform.
This is the transition of life levels, and it is also the reason why foundation-building cultivators can have a lifespan of two hundred years!
Gu Xiu can clearly feel that an unprecedented vitality is radiating in his body.
His heart began to beat vigorously, blood circulation accelerated, and skin became tight.
His hair mixed with a few strands of white began to become black and shiny.
Overall, the whole person seemed to be a dozen years younger.
A middle-aged man with a long beard in his forties turned into a young man in his twenties...
The physical body barrier was successfully broken through!
When the excited body calmed down, a deep sense of fatigue surged into his heart.
As if he had stayed up all night for several nights, he felt weak and sore all over.
But Gu Xiu knew that this was normal.
The transition of life is not completed in vain, and it consumes "qi and blood"!
This is why it is necessary to break through before the age of 60.
If the "qi and blood" is insufficient, the consequence may be fainting just after the breakthrough. What's worse, when breaking through, the meridians will heal a little slower, which will directly affect the subsequent breakthrough...
Fortunately, Gu Xiu is still in his prime, and these consumptions, as long as the breakthrough is successfully completed, are just a matter of sleeping.
What he needs to do now is to stabilize his mentality and prepare to nurture spiritual consciousness!
This is the third barrier, the spiritual consciousness barrier!
He took out a pill, the ‘bitter heart pill’!
It was made from the ‘bitter heart lotus seeds’ sent by Jiang Lan, which is very helpful for breaking through the spiritual consciousness barrier.
He swallowed it in one gulp, then emptied his mind and silently recited the foundation-building formula.
He began to leap forward on the spiritual level...
And Gu Xiu's success was naturally reflected outside.
At the mana barrier, a tide of spiritual energy was condensed.
At the physical barrier, the tide became inverted and poured into the lower part.
Now that the tide of spiritual energy has returned to stability, it means that Gu Xiu has successfully passed the first two barriers.
Those present, whether they understand or not, silently memorized these details in their hearts.
On Jiang Lan's side, there are many high-level disciples, so naturally there is no need for others to popularize science.
The focus of their discussion was on the third barrier, the spiritual consciousness barrier.
"The so-called 'Spiritual Consciousness Gate' is to face the past, temper your mind, train your soul, and condense your spiritual consciousness!"
"Hammering, forging, and condensing are the three core steps of the spiritual consciousness gate. As for how to do it, it depends on you!"
Jiang Qing on the side transmitted a message to everyone, introducing the key points of the third gate in detail.
And everyone listened attentively, not daring to miss a word.
This is the experience passed down by the foundation-building cultivator, a great opportunity!
And what made them even more fortunate was standing with Jiang Lan.
Everyone knows that Master Jiang Feng taught Jiang Lan so earnestly just for Jiang Lan's sake.
Suddenly, there was a commotion.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was the spiritual energy tide in the air, which was half red and half black, which was extremely ominous!
"No, the demon in the heart is haunting me!"
Jiang Qing, who was standing by, was the first to see the clue.
It was said in ancient times that cultivators cultivate the Tao and focus on cultivating their hearts!
The road to cultivating immortals is rugged, and cultivators cultivate the principles of all things and feel the changes of heaven and earth.
Sometimes, if the mind is not strong, it will get "sick", and if you can't see through it, you will go crazy!
This is the so-called "demon in the heart".
And when you break through a great realm, the strangeness of life transition and the perception of a new realm are more likely to breed the so-called demon in the heart.
For most cultivators, the first "demon in the heart" in their lives may be the "spiritual consciousness barrier" when they break through the foundation!
There was another uproar in the crowd!
Above the spiritual energy tide, at some point, a phantom appeared.
One of the figures was so familiar, it was the protagonist of this breakthrough - Gu Xiu.
And what he faced was a dark shadow that was far stronger than him.
He resisted and struggled, but in the end, facing the huge number, he was drowned in the shadow.
Only one hand was left, trying to grab something...
Finally, the phantom disappeared, along with the spiritual energy tide.
"Failed..."
Jiang Qing's voice came, awakening Jiang Lan and others who were immersed in this scene.
"Failed! No way, then Master..."
He Xiaomi on the side hurriedly asked, looking at the house below with worry.
