At night, the moonlight was like a ribbon, its clear glow spreading across the tranquil valley, while countless stars twinkled in the sky.
The campfire crackled and popped that night.
Yu Xin hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Master, could you tell me about your past with Uncle Chen?"
Li Qingshan stirred the campfire, his gaze distant and tinged with reminiscence:
"It must have been several decades ago, not long after I entered the Western Heaven Realm, that I became involved in a conflict."
On one side were me and a couple of Sacred Battle Angel, and on the other side were several Blood Angel.
Just as the battle was at a stalemate, your Uncle Chen appeared and effortlessly wiped out the Blood Angel.
"Later, we found a secluded place with the Sacred Battle Angel couple and spent about a year in seclusion to recuperate."
During that time, I had many discussions with your Uncle Chen, and we verified each other's knowledge, from which I benefited greatly.
He gained a lot of insights from his Demon Summoning Scripture.
That year was also when I first conceived the framework for the " Eight-Nine Profound Art ".
Yu Xin was deeply moved. She never expected that her master and Uncle Chen had such a connection, which even involved the origin of the profound skill she cultivated.
"And then?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Later," Li Qingshan paused slightly,
"Your Uncle Chen mentioned that there was a powerful enemy he needed to fight, and then he parted ways with us."
My battle with another powerful enemy resulted in the implantation of Demonic Embryo, which led me to become a demon and forced me to separate from the Sacred Battle Angel couple.
Later, some things happened. I had already controlled my demonic possession and wanted to use the Demonic Embryo Indestructible Divine Embryo to complete the transformation of my profound skills and completely get rid of demonic possession.
Unfortunately, at the crucial moment of Nirvana, a powerful enemy arrived and thwarted the Nirvana effort, causing all previous efforts to be in vain.
I had no choice but to reverse the profound technique, transforming the incomplete Divine Embryo into Second Demonic Embryo, while preserving a trace of my innate true spirit to escape into it.
Although he slayed powerful enemies, he also transformed into Great Demon, committing countless atrocities in the Human World and the Western Heaven Realm.
The Cause and Effect were complex, and it was only through a series of coincidences that he was able to return.
He looked at Yu Xin, his gaze returning to calm:
"The issues involved here are far-reaching and far beyond your current level of understanding."
All you need to know is that the path beneath your feet requires you to walk it step by step with firm resolve.
Yu Xin nodded vigorously, keeping her master's words firmly in mind.
I never imagined that my master's encounter with Uncle Chen would be like this.
The flickering campfire illuminated her increasingly determined face.
Sometimes she would try to use her newly cultivated profound energy to simulate and outline the most basic spirit-gathering Dao patterns or protective runes that Li Qingshan occasionally evolved.
This was by no means an easy task. She failed many times. Sometimes her energy would get out of control, and she would explode, leaving her face covered in soot. Other times, the rune structure would be unstable, and the spiritual light would flicker a few times before dissipating, leaving her quite embarrassed. But she remained enthusiastic and never tired of it.
Li Qingshan woke up from meditation and happened to see her by the lake, struggling with a simple rune drawn on the ground, its light flickering and on the verge of collapse, her little face all scrunched up.
His lips twitched almost imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything to disturb her. It was only when she failed again and was angrily preparing to try again that he spoke.
With a flick of his finger, a barely perceptible wisp of Daoist energy swept across, precisely correcting an extremely subtle yet crucial point in the energy flow within the rune, one that was vital to the overall stability.
Yu Xin was concentrating intently when she suddenly felt the previously sluggish and difficult rune trajectory become smooth, and the vital energy she was guiding in her hand also became more obedient.
She was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up with a bright and delighted light. She immediately focused her mind and guided her energy to outline the design again.
This time, the simple spirit-gathering rune finally stabilized. Although the effect of gathering spiritual energy was minimal, limited to within a foot of the rune, it was ultimately a success!
She was so happy she almost jumped for joy. She turned to look at her master, who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, her eyes filled with the sense of accomplishment of "I did it" and the desire to share.
Li Qingshan did not open his eyes, but merely nodded slightly, and then made no further comment.
But for Yu Xin, this was already a great encouragement.
Time flies, and the mountains are oblivious to the passing years. In the blink of an eye, another spring and autumn have passed by leisurely, quietly slipping away amidst such gentle and nurturing guidance and companionship.
Under the guidance of her Yu Xin teacher Li Qingshan and with her own exceptional talent and hard work, Yu Xin's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
From the period of weakness after dispersing his cultivation and switching to other methods, to quickly stabilizing the foundation of his new method, and then advancing with unstoppable momentum, absorbing and refining the primordial energy of heaven and earth, strengthening his five internal organs, opening up his extraordinary meridians, and nourishing his spirit and soul, he has steadily stepped into the Fifth Rank realm!
With the Foundation Establishment Chapter nearing completion, the true spirit of undying truth has become even more profound and resilient.
What's even more valuable is that her foundation has been honed to an incredibly solid level, and her control over power is exquisitely precise.
Through daily cultivation, understanding, and the immersion in profound truths, one's character becomes more resilient, insightful, and wise.
The girl who once appeared aloof, distant, and with an unyielding melancholy and resolute air about her due to her cultivation of the " Supreme Forgetfulness Record " has long since disappeared.
Today, Yu Xin stands tall and straight, her appearance is even more beautiful and refined, her brows are full of confident radiance and vigorous vitality, and she acts with composure and calmness.
She possesses a youthful vivacity and wit, with eyes as clear as springs, sparkling with a radiant light that reflects unwavering confidence in her own path and boundless hope for the future.
On this day, Yu Xin had just finished a deep Entering Stillness session, and her Fifth Rank cultivation was completely perfected and stable. Her aura was restrained, and a warm, Ruyu- like light flowed under her skin.
That is a sign that the foundation has been established, the physical body has been initially tempered, and the body has begun to connect with the spirit and become an immortal, with the energy within the body interacting with heaven and earth.
She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze bright and clear.
She saw her master standing with his hands behind his back under the ancient tree that had grown for countless years, his posture as upright as a pine tree, quietly gazing at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, seemingly lost in thought.
She rose gently, walked over with light steps, and stood quietly to the side with respect, without making a sound to disturb them.
"How are you feeling?" Li Qingshan didn't turn around; his calm voice drifted on the wind, breaking the silence.
"Reporting to Master," Yu Xin's voice carried a hint of lightness after her breakthrough and an irrepressible, heartfelt joy as she answered clearly.
"I feel better than ever before."
The profound internal energy surged and circulated within his body, endlessly, yet it moved with the ease and precision of his own limbs;
The soul is clear and clear, and the perception is several times sharper than before. The grasp of one's own state, the flow of vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth, and the perception of the breathing of vegetation have reached a new level, and the understanding is more profound.
The cold shadow and constraints of " Supreme Forgetfulness " have long since vanished, as if they were nothing but a distant dream.
She paused, looked at Li Qingshan's retreating figure, and said sincerely,
"All of this is a gift from Master."
Disciple thanks Master for your grace in giving me life!
Li Qingshan turned around, his gaze calmly falling on her, carefully sensing her incredibly solid and vibrant foundation and the vigorous energy emanating from within. After a moment, he calmly said:
"The foundation has been basically established, the roots are solid, and the spirit is strong."
The hidden dangers and perils on the path left by the " Supreme Forgetfulness Record " have been completely removed from you, and there is no possibility of them recurring.
He paused briefly, then gave a positive assessment.
"You did a great job."
The simple words "Well done" reached Yu Xin's ears, and her nose suddenly tingled with emotion, a surge of indescribable warmth and satisfaction welling up in her heart.
Receiving such direct recognition from her master brought her more heartfelt joy and encouragement than any breakthrough in realm or increase in power.
"It is all thanks to Master's excellent teaching; this disciple dares not take credit."
She suppressed her excitement and humbly bowed her head in response.
Li Qingshan nodded slightly, said no more, and turned his gaze back to the outside of the valley.
It seemed to pierce through the layers of mountains and spatial barriers.
They saw the Heavenly Realm realm, still in chaos, rife with slaughter, and its laws broken.
