Chapter 48: Epiphany
Chapter 48 The Epiphany
Steward Mu nodded his head, “Naturally, it is excellent, you two’s examination is over, you can go back.”
The two of them walked off the stage in unison.
The other outer disciples laughed at this scene, “Two fools actually have a common language.”
“That’s why they are fools, right? People go high and water flows low, if you don’t even understand this, what’s the point of practicing!”
Unlike the outer disciples’ outbursts of ridicule, the inner disciples were silent, but their gazes toward the two flickered with coldness.
By refusing their solicitation, they were not putting them in their eyes!
Huangfu Yao’s eyes flashed with a cruel smile, if Xu Chuniang had become Wei Dawu’s retinue, she wouldn’t be able to say that she would still be concerned about it, but if she was looking for her own death, then there was no one to blame!
Xu Chuniang and Su Chen knew nothing about what was happening behind them, and after moving away from the crowd, she took the initiative to greet them, “Hello, my name is Xu Chuniang.”
Su Chuan nodded slightly, “I’m Su Chuan.”
The two of them smiled silently at each other, neither of them asking the other why they did not accept the solicitation.
“I’ve actually known about you for a long time.” Xu Chuniang thought for a moment and spoke, “I heard from the senior brother guarding the north gate that a new disciple named Su Chen ran off alone to the Hundred Demon Mountain Range to practice. I didn’t expect to see you in person so soon.”
“What’s this, didn’t you also go to train alone?” Su Chen blinked, “But I knew you earlier, not that I heard it from Senior Brother Bei Men, but you were impressive that time two years ago when you took the small exam.”
Xu Chuniang was a little embarrassed, the small exam two years ago was simply humiliating, she was almost late and was blatantly embarrassed by Zhang Donglai.
She stiffly changed the topic, “The Hundred Demons Mountain Range is quite good, in the future, you can go there a few more times when your cultivation level is high.”
Su Chen revealed a look of recognition, “Just by standing there, there are people coming up to give away resources, it is indeed a good place.”
Xu Chuniang’s eyes revealed a confused look, someone sending resources while standing, how come she hadn’t encountered such a good thing?
But then she reacted, it turned out that the ones he was talking about delivering resources were the group of robbing cultivators.
Xu Chuniang couldn’t help but look complicated, was this guy actually so raw, but thinking that she had also earned a fortune through anti-robbery, she was somewhat speechless.
It seemed like there wasn’t much difference between herself and this guy.
The two chatted for a while before parting at the fork in the road, but they made an appointment that they could go to the Hundred Demon Mountain Range together when they had the chance in the future.
However, Xu Chuniang knew that this was nothing more than a polite remark, Su Chen and herself were the same type of person, more inclined to experience alone. After all, the path of cultivation was lonely, and there was no such thing as a teammate in the first place.
After returning to her lodging, Xu Chuniang cast aside all other matters and began to feel her own cultivation, and sure enough, there were signs of a breakthrough. She no longer hesitated and concentrated on meditating. It was just that no matter how Xu Chunniang absorbed the spiritual qi, the cultivation within her body didn’t increase one iota.
What a strange thing, it was clearly a sudden sign, but why was there such a result?
Xu Chuniang furrowed her brows and began to recall the scene when her cultivation loosened.
At that time, she was in an impassioned mood, bent on proving herself, wanting to see the outside world with her own efforts.
An ant still dared to shake a tree, and a praying mantis could also be used as a vehicle!
No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would go on as always! Even if she died, she would never retreat!
As her emotions grew higher, Xu Chuniang’s heart instead grew calmer and calmer, and she entered a subtle and inexplicable state, in which spiritual qi rushed towards her from all directions, and very soon, her gongfu automatically operated, crazily codifying the spiritual qi around her, and her cultivation climbed up at a speed far exceeding that of normal days.
Under the massive amount of spiritual qi, Xu Chuniang’s cultivation directly broke through the early stage of the fourth level of qi cultivation, came to the middle stage, then the late stage, and finally broke through the fourth level of qi cultivation, came to the fifth level of qi cultivation!
This wasn’t the end of the line, a massive amount of spiritual qi was absorbed into her body, allowing her cultivation to climb once again!
It wasn’t until Xu Chuniang’s cultivation was stabilized at the middle stage of the fifth level of Qi cultivation, just a hair’s breadth away from the late stage, that the spiritual qi completely dissipated, and she retreated from that arcane state.
“This is …… an epiphany!” A trace of surprise flashed across Xu Chuniang’s eyes, theoretically, everyone who embarked on the path of cultivation had the opportunity to have an epiphany, and an epiphany could allow one to, in a short period of time, raise one’s state of mind and cultivation level. However, epiphanies rarely happened, at least in the Outer Sect, one had never heard of anyone having an epiphany.
Xu Chuniang felt her aura, it was almost eight times as much as before, and the cultivation level raised by the epiphany was very solid, even more solid than before.
If she were to rely on her own cultivation, she was afraid that it would take at least three or four years before she could cultivate to this level.
Xu Chuniang’s mind slowly calmed down, “But why did I have an epiphany, is it because my cultivation heart is clearer?”
After thinking about it, she could only think of such a possibility. Then, according to this, her choice was the right one.
Not following the crowd, accepting her weakness, and sticking to her heart.
Xu Chuniang’s cultivation was already a hair above her fellow outer disciples, and right now the gap was widening.
However, she didn’t slacken off because of her cultivation increase, instead, she became more and more determined in her beliefs.
Once upon a time, Xu Chuniang’s goal was to participate in the Outer Sect Disciple Competition and win the Foundation Establishment Pill to successfully build her foundation and enter the Inner Sect.
But now, foundation building was no longer her end point, but her first small goal!
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath, she believed that as long as she worked hard enough and constantly surpassed herself, the entire world would open up to her!
After her cultivation level rose, Xu Chunniang refined the soft armor once again, and with a burst of energy, she refined all of the several layers of formations behind her, occupying the hub at the very center.
The soft armor was filled with wind spirit energy, and almost immediately after refining it, Xu Chunniang felt a sense of lightness, this was the soft armor’s auxiliary function, able to increase the user’s speed.
With a slight movement of her body, she flicked a little and leapt out of the cave, running through the mountain forest.
Obviously, the distance of the Spiritual Void Steps was no further, but Xu Chunniang’s speed was almost more than twice as fast as before, and only her residual shadow could be seen.
Xu Chuniang’s eyes showed satisfaction, worthy of being a mid-grade spiritual weapon with six layers of formations.
After her cultivation broke through to the fifth level of qi cultivation, the aura in Xu Chunniang’s body was very considerable, but the consumption of a medium-grade spirit weapon was also staggering.
Half an hour later, Xu Chuniang’s figure lurched and stopped. At this moment, she still had half of her Spiritual Qi left in her body. If she kept manipulating the soft armor, she would be able to last for an entire hour.
“This soft armor doesn’t have a name yet, since it’s made from the skin of the Wind Cloud Tiger, let’s call it the Wind Cloud Armor.”
I’ll be chatting with my editor about shelving next week haha, picking a date to shelve. Quite a few dao friends asked about the CP thing, here to answer, no male main character, big female cultivation immortal, one heart cultivation. Thanks to the Taoist friend linxinyu88’s reward and monthly votes!
