Vol 2 Chapter 31: Ningyuan

Shen Shi's body suddenly twitched, as if he felt a strong pain, and in his mind, the darkness was receding but he was obviously reluctant, and he was fighting desperately against the strong light, as if the next moment. To fight back.
The limbs, heads, and countless qi pulses were shaking together at this moment, all the spiritual power gathered into a river, like a school of excited fish began to rush away frantically, and the target was the empty and illusory place in his abdomen.
Shen Shi's heart suddenly jumped. At that moment, he saw a somewhat vague shadow in his spiritual thoughts. It was as if there was a boundless sea of ​​emptiness in his abdomen, and there seemed to be a majestic palace proudly. Stand tall.
Above Taoism, this is the dantian of Yufu, the foundation of monks and the foundation of immortal Tao.
All channel methods are born from this, and all have this prosperity.
However, just when all the spiritual power rushed madly and was about to rush into the phantom of the Jade Mansion, there was a layer of invisible resistance blocking all the spiritual power. It firmly locked the position of the dantian and blocked everything. The meridian qi mai.
This is the realm barrier, also known as the realm barrier. It is a shackle that the human race will inevitably encounter in the physical body after practicing Taoism. No one knows why this strange obstacle occurred, but since the human race, the realm barrier has been accompanied by it. No one can make an exception.
Breaking the barrier means crossing the border. After breaking the barrier, the future is boundless. What can't be broken is a mediocre person for a lifetime, which is insulated from the fairy road.
The wave of spiritual power that was blocked from the way was higher than the wave, and the irritability was constantly impacting this invisible barrier. This brought strong pain to Chen Shi’s physical body and made him feel that the pain in his abdomen seemed like it was It was cracking, as if his body was about to split in the next moment.
His mind was a little surprised. At this moment, it was clear that his cultivation time had arrived, and his physical and spiritual power began to attack the barriers of the Ning Yuan realm on its own in order to open up the Yufu Dantian. If it succeeds, he will step into the Ning Yuan after tonight. Yuan realm, and if it fails, according to his previous knowledge, there will be a lot of sequelae, and it will take at least three months of rest to attack the Ning Yuan realm again. After all, the burden of mobilizing the whole body's spiritual power on the physical body is not light.
It's just that the barrier for some reason, it seems to be exceptionally strong and tough, Shen Shi endured the pain several times, concentrated the whole body's spiritual power and rushed over, and was actually blocked by the barrier several times.
Shen Shi faintly felt that something was not quite right, but he had never experienced this kind of break-through in the past. He had just read a few vaguely mentioned sentences in a few books. It seemed that in those classic books, the monks wanted The most difficult thing when breaking the realm is to sense the Dantian Jade Mansion. Of course, the barrier is also a powerful obstacle, but according to the texts in the past, the spiritual power consumed by the Jade Mansion is almost half of the spiritual power of the monk himself. The remaining half will be spent on the impact of barriers.
But Shen Shi clearly felt that the Qihai Jade Mansion that he had suddenly sensed just now did not consume any spiritual power, and it appeared abruptly and vividly in his divine consciousness. For a moment, he He even thought that he had already practiced to reach the Ning Yuan realm.
But when he used the spiritual power of the whole body to attack the barriers, in order to complete this last step and finally condense into the dantian of the Jade Mansion, so that the whole body of spiritual power would return to the sea to the Ning Yuan realm, he found that all the difficulties seemed to have suddenly concentrated Environmental barriers here.
It was sturdy and tough beyond imagination, even with the full impact of Chen Shi's whole body spiritual power, the barrier was only crumbling, but it never collapsed.
Shouldn't it be like this?
A trace of haze passed through Shen Shi's heart, but the next moment, he threw this boring thought behind his head, his eyes were still closed, his body was still trembling slightly, and intense pain was raging from his abdomen Everywhere in his body, even the hand he stretched out kept shaking uncontrollably.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and said nothing.
The finger moved forward little by little on the stone table, and quickly touched the scattered spirit crystals and another pill.

The night is dark.
The silence of the valley is pitch black, as if even the stars don’t want to fall here. The darkness has flooded every corner of the valley, only the sound of the water from a distance still never stops, floating gently in the empty night. .
Under the old trees and old vines, on the mountain road, there was a figure of a figure who did not know where he came from. He just stood there quietly. The darkness surrounded him, concealing all traces, making it impossible to see his face clearly. The outline, only a faint shadow is looming in the shadow.
This is a peaceful night, as if everything in the world, including the mountains and forests, merged with the dark figure, breathing quietly, vaguely a strange power whirling in the valley, mysterious but far away, as if everything obeyed Listening to the figure, there seemed to be a faint heartbeat echoing in the valley.
One volt together, one volt together...
Just at this moment, the figure seemed to perceive something, and his body shook slightly, and this piece of originally blended together as if a valley without the slightest shortcomings of noise, suddenly appeared in the depths of the darkness, a dim light .
A faint light, extremely weak and small, but so clear and equally dazzling.
It suddenly broke the dark peace and perfection, and broke the harmony of the valley that originally blended into one. It was like a bold smear on a perfect famous painting, and all perfection disappeared instantly.
That ray of light flickered and flickered like a candle in the dark.
The figure in the darkness suddenly rose into the sky, and all the darkness seemed to follow him. It came across a long distance in an instant, and rushed to the beam of light, the momentum was like a mountain, even with a bit of anger.
The place of light came in a blink of an eye, deep in the valley, in front of Shenshi's cave mansion.
When he got here, the figure condensed and stopped. The surroundings of his figure seemed to be still covered by heavy darkness, so he still couldn't see his face, but when he got here, he unexpectedly saw that outside the cave of the sinking stone, that dim light is still indefinitely. Several extremely pale colors slowly flowed and changed, and the light seemed to have no foundation at all, it was slowly gleaming in a few places outside the cave.
The figure in the darkness stared for a moment, and suddenly seemed a little hesitant, as if he looked a little surprised. After a while, a low voice came from the darkness softly, saying:
"This is... Breaking Boundary Refraction? Is there a divine mood... No, the light is too weak, this is impacting the Ningyuan realm. But after a cave mansion stone room, how can the Refining Breaking Boundary have such a big reaction? Can it resonate with heaven and earth?"
At this moment, the shimmering light outside the cave suddenly trembled a few times, as if it was not able to continue, and soon disappeared.
The figure was thoughtful and glanced at Shenshi's cave in the darkness. After a while of silence, he suddenly turned around and flew away in the darkness, disappearing into the dark depths of this valley in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning, the morning light of a new day fell from the sky, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the cold and humid valley.
The thin mist undulates in the forests of the valley, like lingering silk floss. On the leaves of plants and trees, crystal clear and round dewdrops can be seen everywhere, reflecting the beautiful brilliance. The abundant moisture nourishes the woods and trees, and the breeze blows through, and a fresh breath can be heard everywhere.
A few crisp birdsong sounded in the depths of the forest, and they kept chirping. Although they were not as majestic as those spirit birds and cranes on the top of Jinhong Mountain, they also had their own vitality, adding to this secluded valley. Kind of vitality.
Compared with the valley that gradually became active and full of vitality, the monks' cave dwellings hidden in the depths of the tree shadows were all calm, without any movement or silence, but from a distance, these cave dwellings seemed to have become this valley. Part of it, until suddenly a rushing sound like drumming suddenly sounded outside a certain cave in the deep valley.
"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom..."
The voice was eager and anxious, and it broke the silence of the valley and at the same time awakened the people in the cave.
The little black pig, who had slept soundly all night, jumped up all at once, looking at his head and looking right and left, making a defensive heart shape, humming in his mouth, and kicking back with the pig's hoof on his hind legs. After a moment, it was in the middle of Chen Shi's forehead.
Shen Shi just wanted to get up, and was kicked back by the stupid pig with a "snap". He was a little annoyed by holding his forehead. He patted the pig's butt, and the little black pig jumped aside, his tail wagging and facing him Humbling.
The sound of knocking on the door was still thinking outside, Shen Shi suddenly felt a little familiar, then smiled for no reason, touched the head of the little black pig, and got out of bed and walked to the door.
The little black pig jumped out of the bed, followed behind his master, opened his mouth and yawned and stretched out. The next moment, it groaned alone, and his face suddenly looked sad.
Shen Shi held the cloud symbol in his hand, and it lighted up quietly at this moment. After the dim light flashed, the two heavy stone gates retreated to both sides in the rumble.
A ray of morning light fell, shining on him, and the wind with the fragrance of vegetation blew on his face. He couldn't help taking a deep breath, and then saw the people outside the door.
It was a man standing in the morning light, handsome and upright, with mixed surprises on his face, and a smile that could not be concealed. The outline of the eyebrows, although it has been three years, is still so familiar.
"Stone!" he shouted loudly.
Shen Shi laughed, that smile came from the heart, that joy and kindness, just like that, standing in the morning light, looking at this friend, looking at the way he has not changed after three years, and said with a smile:
"Sun You!"
Sun You looked at him, saw his feet from his head, and his head from his feet. Then he laughed and jumped to Shen Shi's body, opened his arms, hugged Shen Shi tightly, and slapped him hard at the same time. The back.
"Good fellow, you are finally back, but you are back!"
Shen Shi hesitated for a moment. It seemed that he was a little uncomfortable with Sun You's actions so close, but after a while, a smile appeared on his mouth, and he also hugged the friend.
"long time no see."
Sun You was obviously a little excited. After a long time, he let go of his hands and looked at Shen Shi carefully. He smiled and said, "If Zhong Qinglu hadn’t told me, I didn’t know you came back. Want to come, but Zhong Qinglu refuses. But think about it, you will definitely be struggling when you come back this time, and it's fine to take a rest."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Everything is fine for me."
Sun You laughed and said, "Anyway, just come back. Seriously, where did you go in the past three years? I heard Zhong Qinglu said that she didn't have time to ask you yesterday, just saying that you look okay. Is it the realm or the refining? It must have been hard for the past three years, it, your talent was one of us, but it doesn’t matter...
As if to say all the words in his heart at once, Sun You pulled Shen Shi in this way, and he kept talking, Shen Shi smiled and said to the side, and he could feel Sun You sincerely. There is also a hint of warmth in my heart.
But when Sun You was about to continue to say something, and he slapped his chest as if he was about to make a promise:
"Don't worry, you don't want to think, isn't it just a Qi Refining Realm? We are not the same now as before. I will help you, sure... eh?" His voice suddenly stopped, as if he saw something strange. Looking at Shen Shi in amazement, he seemed a little unbelievable. After a while, he said,
"You are..."
Shen Shi smiled and said, "I'm in the original state." After speaking, he paused, and added another sentence, "It was achieved last night."
(There is a detail modification in Chapter 29 "Reunion". I didn't pay attention to the code word. When the two of Shen Zhong met again, they should say "Hey" instead of the weird-sounding "Hi", sorry.)
