Chapter 581 Advanced
Three months is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator.
The 19 branches of the Ye clan have moved to their assigned spiritual peaks according to the previous plan and started a new life.
The once bustling main peak of the Five Fingers Peak suddenly became much quieter, less noisy than before, but more solemn and dignified.
However, this quietness did not last long. Soon, a strange atmosphere quietly spread around the fourth-level cave. This cave was where Ye Shengyu was in seclusion.
Ye Shengyu has been at the peak of the ninth level of the Purple Mansion for many years.
He has good qualifications and has taken a lot of natural treasures in his early years, and his cultivation has improved rapidly. However, perhaps because he made too fast progress in his early years and his foundation was slightly unstable, or perhaps because he lacked a chance, he always felt that there was an invisible barrier between him and the Daoting realm, which was difficult to break through.
After this peak split, perhaps due to a change in his state of mind, or perhaps because the spiritual energy of Zixia Peak was more compatible, Ye Shengyu finally felt that the bottleneck began to loosen.
He was moved in his heart and immediately realized that this was a sign of an imminent breakthrough. He did not dare to neglect it and immediately went to the cave where Ye Changsheng was to report.
Ye Changsheng was naturally overjoyed to hear that Ye Shengyu was about to break through.
It was a great joy for the whole family that the Ye family of Wuzhi Peak could add another Daoting realm cultivator.
He took out a crystal clear fruit with a faint fragrance and handed it to Ye Shengyu. It was the Hualuo fruit.
"Shengyu, this is the Hualuo fruit, a third-level spiritual fruit, which has a miraculous effect on the purple mansion cultivators to break through the Daoting realm, and the effect is far better than the ordinary Daoting pill. Take it and it will definitely help you."
Ye Changsheng's tone was gentle, with encouragement in his eyes.
Ye Shengyu took the Hualuo fruit, feeling grateful, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, father!"
Ye Changsheng nodded slightly, and took out another incense with a simple shape and restrained golden light: "This is Tianfu Golden Incense, which can calm the mind and dispel the inner demons. To break through the Daoting realm, the inner demons are the most taboo, and this incense may help you."
Ye Shengyu thanked again, carefully put away the Hualuo fruit and Tianfu Golden Incense, and his heart was full of confidence and gratitude.
Returning to his cave, Ye Shengyu took a deep breath and opened all the cave formations to isolate himself from all external interference.
He sat cross-legged on the futon, adjusted his breathing, and slowly calmed his mind.
Outside the cave, the originally calm spiritual energy began to show a slight fluctuation.
At first, this fluctuation was imperceptible, like a breeze blowing across the lake, only a faint ripple appeared.
However, as time went by, the fluctuations gradually intensified, just like a storm gathering on the lake, and the spiritual energy began to slowly gather and flow towards Ye Shengyu's cave.
The brothers Ye Yongqing and Ye Yongzhi naturally noticed the unusual movement of the fourth-level cave. They stood in the distance, looking at the cave from afar, with solemn and expectant expressions.
"Brother, my father's retreat breakthrough, the movement is indeed extraordinary."
Ye Yongzhi whispered, with a hint of awe in his tone.
Ye Yongqing nodded, his eyes deep: "Father has accumulated a lot of knowledge, and it is a natural thing for him to break through the Daoting realm. But the Daoting realm is not trivial after all, I hope everything goes well."
As time went by, the spiritual energy around the cave became more and more violent, like a huge whirlpool, madly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy threads visible to the naked eye, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, gathered above the cave, forming a huge spiritual energy funnel, slowly rotating, emitting bursts of low humming sounds.
Other members of the tribe on the main peak of the Five Fingers Peak also felt this powerful spiritual fluctuation. They stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of the fourth-level cave, their eyes full of curiosity and awe.
They knew that this was the elders of the family trying to reach a higher realm, which was a crucial matter for the entire family.
Inside the cave, Ye Shengyu slowly opened his eyes, with a gleam of light in his eyes. He knew that the time had come.
Without any hesitation, he put the Hualuo fruit into his mouth.
The Hualuo fruit melted in his mouth, and a sweet juice instantly spread in his mouth, nourishing his internal organs like a sweet rain.
Then, a majestic spiritual power gushed out of the Hualuo fruit like a volcanic eruption, instantly filling his whole body meridians.
Ye Shengyu hurriedly operated the skills to guide this huge spiritual power to run in his body. The spiritual power was like a rushing river, impacting every meridian and every acupoint in his body.
He felt as if his meridians were stretched open, and he felt a burst of pain, but at the same time he also felt an unprecedented power growing in his body.
He kept his mind clear and did not dare to be distracted, and tried his best to refine this huge spiritual power.
As the spiritual power continued to circulate, the purple mansion in his body began to vibrate violently, as if it was about to break apart.
He knew that this was a sign that the purple mansion was about to transform.
At this moment, he felt an invisible resistance, like a copper wall, blocking the expansion and transformation of the purple mansion.
This is the bottleneck of the Daoting realm, and it is also the gap that countless purple mansion cultivators dream of, but it is difficult to cross.
Ye Shengyu took a deep breath, and with a thought, he took out the Tianfu Golden Incense.
He lit the golden incense, and a strange fragrance instantly spread, refreshing and calming.
As the fragrance spread, Ye Shengyu felt that his mind gradually settled down, and the anxiety and uneasiness caused by the impact of the bottleneck also dissipated without a trace.
He seemed to be in a peaceful and tranquil world, his heart was as calm as still water, and there were no waves in the ancient well.
However, just when his mind was completely relaxed, a dark breath suddenly surged from the depths of his heart, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, suddenly attacking.
One hideous face after another appeared in his mind, making bursts of piercing screams, trying to disturb his mind and shake his will.
This is the inner demon! The most terrible enemy to break through the Dao Court Realm is not the resistance from the outside world, but the inner demon.
Once eroded by the inner demon, at the least, he will go crazy and his cultivation will be destroyed, and at the worst, his soul will be destroyed and he will never recover.
Ye Shengyu's heart trembled, and he immediately realized that the inner demon had begun to cause trouble. He hurriedly used his mind method to try to dispel the inner demon.
However, these inner demons were like maggots on the tarsal bones, difficult to get rid of, but became more rampant, constantly attacking his mind.
Just when Ye Shengyu felt exhausted and about to collapse, the fragrance of the Tianfu Golden Incense suddenly became stronger, like a revelation, instantly dispelling the haze that enveloped his heart.
Those ferocious demons in his heart quickly dissipated like ice and snow melting under the purification of the golden incense.
