A path to self-cultivation... and its limits!

Resolve issues between users in a user-centric manner; don't overly involve them in real-world matters.

In a sense, the official attitude, which seems wavering but is actually "playing it safe," has already revealed its general trend.

It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing.

In the absence of relevant "legal" restrictions, this semi-return to the natural rules of primitive competition, while losing some protection, also means that users have a greater degree of freedom to act.

Such a vibrant and thriving landscape, while having both advantages and disadvantages for users, is ultimately a model where the benefits outweigh the drawbacks in the long run.

For many people with their own agendas, this is probably a welcome outcome.

Moreover, upon deeper reflection, this "ambiguous" attitude is likely a concession made by some insightful individuals at higher levels who are well aware of their own limitations. In other words, given that they acknowledge the lack of sufficient control over the Mission World and even the users themselves in reality, they have proactively and vaguely relaxed certain restrictions.

So as not to further shatter his already crumbling prestige by attacking this group of people.

Having been a seasoned veteran for many years, Yuan Zhengxin could naturally see through this connection and roughly understand the complex considerations of those important figures, but he still looked down on it to some extent.

Wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue and conflict. These matters, involving interests and even life and death, are they something you can simply dismiss with a few words?

Can the phrase "Don't let it spread into reality" really stop this trend?

It's nothing more than wanting "both sides," or even, like before, wanting to be a non-stick pan.

But no matter what, this feud has already been formed, and the person is dead; there's absolutely no reason to let it go easily.

Having figured this out, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, but he didn't rush into action. The fat boss simply put the note away carefully, preparing to use his own channels to investigate more about the people mentioned above.

Unfortunately, human relationships are ultimately limited.

Although there was a cooperative relationship with "Jade Tower" and many acquaintances involved, the current situation involved offending people. Without knowing what others meant, he couldn't rashly ask Boss Li, or even Old Li, Fang, Ning, and others to do anything for him, both publicly and privately.

We can only take it one step at a time.

--Just as the portly boss was secretly pondering his headache.

On the other hand, one of the "main targets" who was also mentioned in his thoughts just now did not have so many complicated thoughts.

Sitting upright in the quiet room, Fang Yishu closed his eyes and concentrated, appearing to be in a half-asleep state, like a spring, seemingly relaxed yet tense.

As the most "valuable" piece of the entire factory area, this simple Jade Tower is ironically the least suitable for large-scale construction.

Place.

After the bottom floor was occupied by Ning Yu, the Druid Apprentice, and turned into a "planting area," the rest of the people carved out a quiet room in the adjacent floor area where the floors were connected, to continue absorbing Numinous Spark and improving their cultivation.

After all, such opportunities are rare.

Even now, although I still cannot withstand the effects of being in a high Spiritual Energy environment for a long time, staying in it every day has become a routine "must-do".

Sitting on a futon, wearing a slightly oversized training uniform, and with her hair hastily tied up, this young girl's attire gave her a somewhat simple and elegant air reminiscent of an ancient female Daoist priest.

However, her brows were furrowed, and she was biting her lip slightly, indicating that something was amiss.

After sitting for a long time, the various aches and pains in the limbs are nothing to worry about and are completely forgotten.

The entire will and mind of this spiritual being are now immersed in the depths of their brow, in that sense that seems to spread Infinity within.

Nothing else can be discerned here, nothing more, only a vast expanse of pale silver mist, slowly churning and flowing as if it were a tangible substance.

As a direct and symbolic representation of Xi Jinping's vision, this is precisely the manifestation of her spiritual strength, accumulated over time and through repeated refinement, which has far surpassed the peak level of ordinary Second Tier users.

Following Li Yun's friendly reminder, this mental power user did not rush to break through to the Third Tier, but instead focused on completing the necessary skills.

After practicing Meditation Method to temper himself, he repeatedly exchanged for necklace-style spiritual crystals, constantly absorbing resources, breathing in Spirituality, and refining his own level, which is why he has reached this point today.

"Rank does not represent everything," these are Li Yun's original words.

At this moment, she was carefully "watching" the cloud of mist at the very center of her consciousness. The mist there was the deepest in color and swirled the most rapidly. It seemed to be about to expand outwards uncontrollably.

This was precisely the bottleneck that had troubled her for so long.

Through constant restraint and refinement, his spiritual power had already accumulated to a fullness like a flood about to burst its banks. The "fullness" that occasionally appeared between his eyebrows was as if something was about to break out of its cocoon. Even the subtle stinging pain that occasionally struck was the clearest warning sign.

I just had to get this off my chest!

Certain "disharmony" between the body and even the mind has affected many other factors.

Having reached this point, it was no longer feasible to continue with the previous methods of training. Fang Yishu was left with only two paths.

Alternatively, she could directly exchange points from the Main God to advance to the Third Tier. As a veteran who entered the Main God Game in the second round, she naturally had already prepared the corresponding Universal Points and exchange cards.

Or—you could simply try to overcome this obstacle on your own!

For an ordinary person, this second option wouldn't actually exist. But after this long period of "training," a strange intuition has arisen, subtly reminding the girl of the second option—

It doesn't seem impossible to do?

Secretly amazed, it seemed that the choice this somewhat stubborn girl actually made wasn't too unexpected.

Experiencing the "pressure" between the spirit Spirituality, the impulse to change one's own physical size has accumulated to its peak.

Like a caged beast trapped inside its body, it frantically rams against the invisible fence, eager to break free and shackle that seems so fragile yet is incredibly Shackles!

"Now is the time--"

The young spiritualist silently recited this phrase to himself, imbued with the power of Xi Jinping's self-hypnosis.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Having experienced the terror of life and death, including the experience of turning the tables on those dying amidst their screams, she was acutely aware that many times, one can only rely on oneself!

The next instant, that icy, calm will suddenly surged forth!

Deep within her consciousness, that swirling mist, spinning to its extreme, resembled a fire that had been deliberately ignited in an instant.

The mountain, with unprecedented ferocity, suddenly reacted!

Boom!!

In the midst of this mental turmoil, it was as if a silent thunderclap had exploded in my mind!

Even the thin "clouds" around the body on the futon were subtly stirred, like shimmering waves!

But things are not as simple as they seem on the surface.

The natural "barrier" that had been tightly binding the outward extension of spiritual power was now being torn apart by the sudden surge of towering waves.

A wave of excruciating pain, enough to instantly break an ordinary person, suddenly shot up the spine straight to the top of the head! It was as if countless steel needles were simultaneously piercing the deepest part of the brain, trying to tear the skull apart from the inside!

Overwhelmed by excruciating pain, the girl who suddenly opened her eyes didn't even have the strength to make a sound.

His face flushed red instantly, the veins on his neck bulged, and large beads of cold sweat poured out, soaking through his thin training clothes in the blink of an eye!

Blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth, but even so, despite her constant trembling and convulsions, she still clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh, trying to distract herself from the pain and force herself not to faint!

If you faint now, it will cause a huge problem!

An unusual intuition in a life-or-death situation almost forcibly controlled all his actions.

Amidst this torrent of pain that could drive anyone mad, Fang Yishu's will was like a diamond formed under high pressure; instead of being broken, it was stirred up by the survival instinct deep within her bones!

Clinging to her last shred of reason, she gritted her teeth and channeled all her energy into an invisible hammer, smashing it fiercely against the already crumbling "barrier"!

Frankly, this feeling is nothing short of self-destruction!

Once, twice, three times!

Each impact was accompanied by waves of excruciating pain that nearly made one faint.

The thunderous cracking sounds grew more frequent and distinct!

Even that invisible barrier, under the relentless onslaught of spiritual power from within, finally showed signs of "collapse."

She didn't know how long she had endured the agonizing pain, but just as her consciousness began to fade and she was about to completely succumb to the vortex of agony, "Bang!"

Deep within his mind, it was as if a balloon stretched to its limit had finally been punctured! With a silent explosion, the "torrent" that had been trapped within his consciousness finally found an outlet!

The obstruction has been completely shattered!

As if a dam had burst, the highly suppressed spiritual power surged forth with unstoppable force through the suddenly opened invisible "valve"!

At this moment, the realization of "success" naturally welled up in Fang Yishu's mind, and she felt as if her self-awareness was trembling and expanding to its fullest extent!

A tremendous sense of accomplishment!

This kind of struggle, which is hard for ordinary people to understand, is like walking alone through a long night in the pitch-black night of Tibet, and finally waiting for the first ray of dawn on the horizon!

The originally extremely violent mental energy, the moment it broke free of its restraints, quickly "subdued" as if water had naturally flowed into a channel, and began to extend and spread outwards according to her will.

Undoubtedly, unlike the deliberate outward exploration of the mind in the past, this "diffusion" at this moment is more like a natural outward reaction.

One step, and everything changes.

Sweating profusely and breathing heavily for a long time, Fang Yishu finally calmed down her ecstatic state of mind, maintaining her composure.

He sat cross-legged, completely still.

After he regained his composure through Meditation Method, a natural sense of unease arose in Xi Jinping once again.

Like a newly built dam, the previous natural "barrier" has reappeared—but the new volume, or rather the scale of spiritual power contained within it, is more than ten times wider than before!

At this moment, the faint stinging pain between my eyebrows had completely disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ethereal peace and self-control.

Without any deliberate effort, she could clearly sense her outward-radiating spiritual power. To describe it in the most intuitive way, it was as if an invisible spherical field with a diameter of several meters had suddenly appeared around her.

Everything within the range of this three-dimensional "sphere" can now be detected by the keen mental fluctuations, even the trajectory of a single speck of dust drifting down.

Excellent, that's definitely a breakthrough.

Having confirmed the facts once again, Fang Yishu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. It's understandable; the intense pain she had experienced earlier was so sharp that it almost made her paranoid, as if she were in a dream.

In this silent, quiet room, this spiritual power user finally broke through the insurmountable barrier that countless people had dreamed of entering but could not, and stepped into a new realm of spiritual power overflow.

This should have been a joyous and celebratory occasion.

--But as if timed perfectly, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, someone suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, and it all became like a ghost story!

"Oh, congratulations—it seems you've taken that step?"

Slightly surprised, Li Yun didn't react much.

Fang Yishu, who had just broken through, looked at the young man in front of her who was still completely undetectable by her spiritual power probing, as if he didn't exist at all, and reacted with a bit of disbelief!

The other person didn't seem to care much, and even clapped their hands innocently as a gesture of congratulations.

After a brief silence, she finally realized how embarrassing her situation was, especially with blood on her lips and the sweat and dampness clinging to her body, almost outlining her shapely figure.

I'm utterly humiliated! And in such a shameful situation! And it's this person again!

Suddenly, an uncontrollable flush of hot blush spread across her cheeks, and the blushing young girl almost screamed out loud!

A few undeserved misfortunes.

"Congratulations! However, your condition is compromised; you likely still have minor intracranial hemorrhage. It's best to go to the hospital as soon as possible."

It would be better to repair the true form on the divine platform.

After glancing at it a few times, he only gave a brief reminder. Even Li Yun, who came over for his usual rest, simply pushed up his glasses, turned around and left with a perceptive look, closing the door behind him.

In all honesty, he simply sensed a change in spiritual energy nearby, detected a potential danger, and came over to take a look.

Regardless, he was quite surprised that Miss Fang. Fang Yishu was able to lay a solid foundation in such a short time and dare to break through to the Third Tier level on her own without any external assistance.

However, this is ultimately a good thing.

After all, these cultivators, who bear many traces of "self-cultivation," are clearly not as safe and fast at advancing as those who go through the entire process of exchanging and strengthening at the Main God's place.

But once those individuals appear to be at the same level, the differences in their abilities begin to emerge.

Furthermore, as one progresses to higher levels, the astronomical price difference required for exchange has clearly begun to gradually slow down the momentum of most people's continued rapid advancement. Only then will certain differences truly become apparent. After some thought, perhaps realizing something, Li Yun shook his head slightly as he looked at the page that immediately opened on his phone. At the top of the page was a bolded title. "Basic Training Method," an internal document from the Special Investigation Bureau.

It's not impossible—but objectively speaking, not everyone has the resources of Fang Yishu.

Lacking guidance from certain factors of the Main God, even with a foundation of Spiritual Energy in reality, this experimental method, seemingly derived from a "true cultivation technique,"...

In the end, those who can truly forge a path and achieve results with just such a thin booklet are probably one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand exceptional individuals!
