Chapter 766 Breakthrough
"Today, I will raze your Tianxian Sect to the ground to sacrifice the dead souls of my Black Demon Sect!" The Black Demon Cult Leader roared, and condensed a black magic sword in his hand, slashing at Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong.
"Not good!" Gu Jiuchen's heart sank. This dark demon leader was extremely powerful and was by no means an easy person to deal with. He was about to take action to resist, but suddenly he felt a powerful force coming from behind, restraining him firmly.
"Brother Chen!" Ye Linglong exclaimed and looked back, only to see a familiar figure standing behind him, holding a dagger with a faint golden light in his hand, which was pressed against Gu Jiuchen's chest.
"Xuanfeng! You..." Ye Linglong looked at the partner who had fought side by side in disbelief, her eyes full of shock and pain.
Xuanfeng had a ferocious smile on his face, and his eyes were cold and unfamiliar: "Gu Jiuchen, Ye Linglong, don't you think, the person who will destroy you in the end will be me!"
The leader of the Black Demon laughed wildly, and with the power of destroying the world, the black demon sword struck Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong head-on. At the critical moment, a golden light flashed through, Xuanfeng groaned, and was knocked back several steps by a powerful force.
"Master!" Zhao Ling'er exclaimed and flew in front of Gu Jiuchen. The long sword in his hand was pointed at Xuanfeng with cold light, "Why did you betray the master!"
Xuanfeng's face was ferocious, his eyes full of pain and struggle: "Ling'er, get out of the way! This is the grudge between me and Gu Jiuchen!"
"Shut up!" Ye Linglong shouted angrily, "You and Brother Chen are brothers and sisters. He treats you with kindness like a mountain. How can you repay kindness with hatred!"
Xuanfeng laughed miserably: "We are brothers and sisters? We are as grateful as a mountain? Do you know how painful it is in my heart! I have loved you for three hundred years, but you are deeply attached to him! Today, I will make you pay the price!"
The leader of the Dark Demon looked on with cold eyes, feeling secretly proud in his heart. The internal strife within the Tianxian Sect was a good opportunity for him to reap the benefits. He laughed wildly and activated his demonic energy, and the black magic sword burst out with dazzling light again.
At this critical moment, Gu Jiuchen suddenly felt a mysterious power pouring out of his body. He closed his eyes, as if he had entered an unknown realm. At the same time, while assisting Zhao Ling'er in practicing, Ye Linglong also unexpectedly discovered a new practice method that could quickly improve her state of mind.
Late at night, Gu Jiuchen was practicing in a quiet room. A strange energy wave emanated from his body. Gradually, this wave became stronger and stronger, forming a pillar of light visible to the naked eye, shooting straight into the sky.
Elder Li was practicing in seclusion when he suddenly felt a powerful wave of energy. He was startled and quickly stood up and walked out of the quiet room. I saw a beam of light rising into the sky from Gu Jiuchen's training place in the distance, illuminating half of the sky. Elder Li was extremely excited. He knew that someone was about to break through to a higher realm. Gu Jiuchen is extremely talented in cultivation. He is a genius that has been rare in the Tianxian Sect for hundreds of years. Now he is finally about to make a breakthrough. This is a great joy for the entire Tianxian Sect.
At the same time, Ye Linglong also sensed the signs of Gu Jiuchen's breakthrough when she was assisting Zhao Ling'er in her training. She was overjoyed, knowing that Gu Jiuchen's breakthrough was just around the corner, so she guided Zhao Ling'er's training more focused, hoping to help her improve her strength as soon as possible.
Elder Li hurried to Gu Jiuchen's training place and saw him sitting cross-legged, surrounded by a dazzling light, with a majestic aura, like a god. Elder Li did not dare to disturb him and could only guard him silently.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, the aura on Gu Jiuchen's body suddenly became chaotic, and the light began to flicker, as if it would go out at any time. Elder Li's heart sank, knowing that Gu Jiuchen had encountered a bottleneck. If he could not break through, he would go crazy at best, or his life would be in danger.
"Is this God's will?" Elder Li was extremely anxious but could do nothing. He knows that every monk will encounter various bottlenecks when breaking through the realm. This is a test of character and perseverance. Others cannot interfere and can only rely on himself.
Just when Elder Li was at his wits' end, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Don't panic, I'm here to help him."
Elder Li was startled and quickly turned his head to look, only to see an old man wearing a white robe appearing behind him at some point. The old man has white hair and a childlike face, and a kind face. He exudes a powerful pressure that makes people dare not look directly at him.
"You are..." Elder Li was shocked. He knew that the person who could appear quietly behind him was definitely not an ordinary person. Could this old man be the legendary immortal?
The old man smiled slightly and said: "I, Xiaoyaozi, was passing by here and sensed that someone had made a breakthrough here, so I came to take a look."
Elder Li suddenly understood, and he quickly bowed and saluted: "It turns out to be Senior Xiaoyaozi, and the junior Tianxian Sect Elder Li Changsheng has met the senior."
Xiaoyaozi nodded, turned to Gu Jiuchen, with a flash of admiration in his eyes, and said: "This son is extremely talented and has a pure heart. Given time, he will become a great person."
Elder Li was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly asked: "Senior, Jiuchen, what is he..."
Xiaoyaozi stroked his beard and said, "He has encountered a bottleneck. I just need to help him."
After saying that, Xiaoyaozi stretched out his hand and a golden light shot into Gu Jiuchen's body. Gu Jiuchen only felt a powerful force pouring into his body. The originally chaotic aura calmed down instantly, and the light on his body became more dazzling.
At the same time, Ye Linglong encountered the same situation. A mysterious fairy appeared in front of her and gave her key guidance, making her cultivation smoother.
A powerful energy wave swept across the Tianxian Sect with Gu Jiuchen as the center. The wind was howling, the trees were bent, and the disciples with low cultivation could not even stand steadily. Elder Li looked at the sky-high light column excitedly. He knew that Gu Jiuchen had succeeded.
At the same time, Ye Linglong was also bathed in a soft white light. Her breakthrough was not as loud as Gu Jiuchen's, but it quietly improved her cultivation like spring rain. The fairy looked at Ye Linglong with admiration in her eyes: "Your comprehension is very high. In time, you will surpass me."
When the light faded, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong both broke through to the stage of transformation, and their strength was even better than before. The two looked at each other, their eyes full of joy and love. They came to the square hand in hand, looked at the new disciples with eyes full of curiosity and admiration, and decided to share their breakthrough experience with everyone.
"Today, Linglong and I broke through to the Spiritualization Stage, which was not accidental." Gu Jiuchen's voice was clear and loud, spreading throughout the square, "Senior Xiaoyaozi and the fairy pointed out the way, which made me understand that in the path of cultivation, talent is important, but more important is the mind and understanding."
Ye Linglong continued: "Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will retreat. Only by firming your faith and moving forward courageously can you constantly break through yourself and reach a higher realm."
Then, the two of them shared their bottlenecks and insights encountered in the process of cultivation, as well as the cultivation experience taught by Senior Xiaoyaozi and the fairy, without reservation. The new disciples were fascinated by it, and their desire for cultivation became stronger. They all expressed that they would take Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong as examples, practice hard, and become the mainstay of Tianxian Sect as soon as possible.
In order to test the learning results of the new disciples, Tianxian Sect decided to hold a practical exercise at Luoxia Peak. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong stood in the air, looking down at the new disciples who were eager to try, their eyes full of expectations.
When the drill began, the disciples showed their magical powers, the swords flashed, the spells roared, and the originally quiet Luoxia Peak suddenly became lively. Some disciples were steady and cautious; some disciples took a different approach and won by surprise; and some disciples cooperated tacitly and joined forces to fight the enemy.
Gu Jiuchen looked at the wonderful performance of the disciples and showed a gratified smile on his face. Although these disciples have not been in the sect for a long time, they have practiced hard and made rapid progress. In time, they will become the mainstay of the Tianxian Sect. Ye Linglong also nodded gently, her eyes full of praise.
After the actual combat drill, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong decided to lead the team to the Misty Forest for training to further enhance the disciples' actual combat experience. There are many monsters in the Misty Forest, which is full of dangers and is an excellent place for training.
After entering the forest, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong walked at the front of the team to escort the disciples. Suddenly, a deafening roar was heard, and a huge giant ape rushed out of the dense forest, waving its huge fist and attacking everyone.
"Be careful!" Gu Jiuchen shouted, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy went straight to the giant ape. Ye Linglong also sacrificed a magic weapon, and ice cones shot at the giant ape like raindrops.
The giant ape had thick skin and flesh. Although Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong's attacks failed to hurt it, they also successfully angered it. The giant ape roared continuously and attacked everyone frantically. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong joined forces to fight against the giant ape. The two cooperated tacitly, both offensive and defensive, and for a while they fought the giant ape on equal terms.
After a fierce battle, the giant ape was finally defeated and fell to the ground. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong also gained a deeper understanding of their own strength because of this battle. Their cooperation became more tacit and their minds were connected, as if they were in telepathy.
The giant ape fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust. Gu Jiuchen put away his sword and stood up, and Ye Linglong also dispersed the ice crystals in his hand. The disciples gathered around, their eyes full of admiration.
"So amazing! The master and the master's wife are so amazing!"
"Yes, facing such a powerful monster, they can actually not lose the upper hand, which is really amazing!"
The disciples' praises were endless, Gu Jiuchen just smiled faintly, turned his head to look at Ye Linglong, his eyes full of tenderness: "Linglong, are you okay?"
