Chapter 150: Seclusion Breakthrough! (6th Update)

  The Wudang stage is a process of accumulating energy to nourish the body. In this stage, the absorbed yuanqi is fully absorbed by the body cells, but when you reach the limit of the Wudang stage, the energy has also accumulated to a certain limit. Except for a few special exercises that focus on physical training, all other exercises will need an energy gathering process at this point to break through the shackles and successfully enter a new realm.

  And Lin Xiao is doing just that right now.

  The energy contained within Lin Xiao's body has already exceeded the limits of a martial artist, if he were to focus on cultivating a technique that specializes in training his physical body at this time, then breaking through would be relatively easy, and it might not even require much effort to naturally break through.

  But now, Lin Xiao didn't dare to be careless at all.

  He had no experience in this area before, and it was inevitable that he would be unfamiliar with the first attempt. Once he made a mistake, he could only start from scratch again, which wasted time.

  Secondly, the energy within his body was indeed a bit too massive, and it was really hard to control. Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough. That's why ordinary martial artists need ten or more attempts to succeed. Fundamentally, it's because their mental strength is not good enough. Even those who are naturally talented, in terms of mental strength, cannot achieve what Lin Xiao has achieved at the level of a martial artist, even if they have exceptional talent, they still need four or five attempts to possibly succeed.

  Lin Xiao's innate talent may be debatable, but his mental strength and cultivation are undoubtedly powerful. This is an enormous advantage when it comes to breaking through.

  Under the control of his immense spiritual power, Lin Xiao's body seemed to be trembling with every cell, and a thread of fine energy escaped from these cells, gathering towards the middle dantian in his chest.

  Don't look at the threads of energy, each one is so fine, but with billions of numbers stacked up, the formed energy is quite enormous, and this energy is a catalyst for Lin Xiao to break through into the Yuan Wu realm.

  Energy is gathering bit by bit, under Lin Xiao's control, all the energy forms a huge vortex in the middle of the Dantian, gradually taking shape. Those free energies that have not yet joined are pulled by the vortex and start to accelerate towards the middle of the Dantian.

  The whole process started slowly and gradually accelerated. By the time all the energy that had been scattered throughout the cells was gathered in the middle dan tian, only a little over an hour had passed in external time.

  "Finally! The first step is finally complete." Lin Xiao secretly let out a sigh of relief, earlier he didn't dare to relax at all, afraid that one careless move would make him take a wrong step and have to start all over again.

  But it's not time for him to relax yet, this is just the first step. There are still many steps that need to be taken below.

  The vortex of energy that has taken shape in the lower dantian is slowly starting to rotate, and a pulling force it forms from Lin Xiao's body, through his pores all over his body, intersects with the outside world. Little by little, it pulls the original energy from the air in the outside world into Lin Xiao's body.

  Lin Xiao only felt that the pores all over his body were like tiny insects crawling, and the external yuanqi that seemed to be endless began to frantically squeeze into Lin Xiao's body at a speed that was dozens or even hundreds of times faster than when he normally cultivated. Such terrifying yuanqi suddenly surged into his own body, and for an instant, Lin Xiao almost lost control.

  Fortunately, his spiritual power advantage showed up at this time. Although he was a bit overwhelmed at the beginning, he gradually adapted to it over time.

  All the yuanqi converged into his middle dantian, as if smelling a foul odor like a cat, directly joining the energy vortex inside the middle dantian and becoming part of its power.

  In just a few short minutes, Lin Xiao could clearly feel the energy vortex within his body expanding by at least twice its original size, and the terrifying suction force was still gradually increasing. More and more yuanqi was gathering towards his body.

  "With so much yuanqi, if it can't be controlled all at once, it's likely that just recovering from injuries will take over ten days." Lin Xiao felt a bit apprehensive in his heart, previously he hadn't thought it would be like this. Originally, he had thought that even if the first attempt failed, no big deal, just try again for the second time, at most wasting one or two days of time.

  But now it seems that he underestimated in advance, and now he can only bite the bullet.

  Time slipped away bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao had been closed off for two whole days and nights.

  For the past two days and nights, Lin Xiao didn't have a single second to catch his breath. The primordial energy within him was increasing rapidly. If previously he needed to recover for over ten days after failing, then this time, if he didn't take at least a month to recover, it would be impossible for him to make another attempt.

  This also means that once Lin Xiao fails this breakthrough, then the task of 'activating 2nd level authority', he can forget about completing it.

  "Heavens! You're not supposed to play me like this!"

  "If I had known this earlier, I would rather die than try it directly."

  Lin Xiao's heart was filled with regret, but now it was too late to regret. All he could do now was strive to succeed in one go, or else...

  Another torturous night has passed, and at this moment, the primordial vortex in Lin Xiao's body is no longer absorbing external primordial energy. It has transformed from its original vortex shape to a spherical shape, and under Lin Xiao's efforts, it is slowly compressing inward, constantly compressing.

  Suddenly... the massive energy sphere in his inner vision suddenly broke free from Lin Xiao's control, and the terrifying amount of yuanqi contained within it frantically scurried about Lin Xiao's body like a startled mouse.

  In an instant, Lin Xiao's internal organs suffered heavy damage, and at the same time, these massive yuanqi directly passed through his open pores and dissipated into the outside world.

  Rumble...!!!!!

  The earth shook and the entire mountain cliff was swaying, countless frightened birds rushed out of the forest and fled this terrible place.

  Pfft!

  As soon as Lin Xiao opened his eyes, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the bright red blood splattered directly onto the rocks in front of him, leaving behind a shocking trail.

  "Damn it, failed again!" Lin Xiao's face turned red, and he seemed to have lost all his strength, collapsing down.

  Two days and three nights of hard work, in an instant turned into a bubble. What's even more hateful is that these injuries on my body will probably take at least half a month to recover from.

  "Damn it!" Lin Xiao clenched his fists tightly, wanting to slam the ground to vent his anger, but sadly found that he didn't even have the strength to lift his arm.

  "Is it really over?" Lin Xiao's gaze was somewhat dazed as he stared at the ground in front of him.

  Suddenly...

  "What's going on?!"

  Feeling the strength gradually recovering in his body, Lin Xiao struggled to sit up.

  In the midst of his spiritual power's sensation, the various internal organs in his body that had been damaged were recovering at a visible rate, and at this speed, it would only take about half a day to basically recover. To thoroughly recover to his peak state, it probably wouldn't take more than a day and a half.

  "What...what's going on?" Lin Xiao was stunned.

  How did the injuries in your own body heal on their own little by little?

  "Idiot!"

  Suddenly, Xīn'ér's voice echoed in his mind.

  "Xin'er, do you know what's going on?" Lin Xiao hastily asked in her heart.

  "Brother is so silly, shy face!" Xiang Er's image flashed in Lin Xiao's mind, and he stuck out his tongue, "Have you forgotten that you just obtained the unusual ability?"

  "Special ability?" Lin Xiao was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted.

  "Slap! " Lin Xiao slapped his forehead with a cry-laugh expression.

  "I actually forgot that I still have the cell regeneration ability, look at my memory!" Although he said so with his mouth, but Lin Xiao's smile on his face was more radiant than ever.

  I thought that task was an opportunity to complete, but I was disappointed. Who would have thought that it was a dead end, but then suddenly there's another village, and indeed there is no absolute end for anyone!

  "That's great, now the mission won't fail!" If not for his current injuries, Lin Xiao really wanted to stand up and jump around a few times to express his excitement at this moment.

  Two days later... Lin Xiao's body had fully recovered to its peak state, without even a hint of internal injury left behind.

  At this time, he sat cross-legged again in his original position, preparing for a second breakthrough.

  This time, Lin Xiao's mood was much more relaxed than the last time. After all, he already knew that even if he failed, he would only waste a few days of time. He had calculated it when he was recovering from his injuries before. He had four chances to fail in total. If none of those attempts were successful, then he really had no hope of completing that task.

  "But if I still can't succeed even after trying four times, then I might as well buy a block of tofu and knock myself to death." Lin Xiao smiled confidently and closed his eyes again, continuing the first step he had tried before.

  It's also unclear whether it was really because of the experience, but starting from the second time, it was much easier than the first time, at least in terms of control. Lin Xiao clearly felt his own progress.

  The first time he took two days and three nights to complete the second step, but the second time he only used two days and one night to complete the second step, entering into the process of the third part.

  It was also at this step that he failed last time, so Lin Xiao was particularly cautious at this moment.

  Although there were four chances of failure, Lin Xiao naturally hoped that he could succeed without spending so much time, and if he could succeed the second time, it would be even better.

  "I must succeed!" Lin Xiao thought silently in his heart.
