Protect Our Patriarch

Book 2: Chapter 16: Achievement! Shouzhe steps into the Lingtai Mirror

And their exchange of treasures as a couple, something seemed off, didn't it?

They could have each used their own treasures, but now it turned into a mutual exchange between husband and wife.

They even casually flaunted their affection, leaving Liu Ruolei somewhat dazed. This move was indeed over the top.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her.

Especially the people of Wang's Clan, they were all very excited. After all, this time, the main gains were for the Wang's Clan.

The other families, such as Liu Yuanhui, only obtained a Heavenly Spirit Pill.

However, they were not discouraged. As long as this trial ground existed, all clans would benefit sooner or later. The next step would be to properly cultivate the younger generation of outstanding clansmen.

Then came some finishing work.

Although this trial ground was remote, since Ancestor Zhou Xuan had the ability and luck to enter, it would inevitably be invaded by others one day.

Therefore, Wang Shouzhe proposed to properly arrange this canyon and have each family and clan take turns to guard it.

All the ancestors responded, they all followed Wang Shouzhe's arrangements.

Those who needed to move stones did so, those who needed to dig holes did so, all without complaints, working enthusiastically. Especially Wang Shouzhe, he expended a lot of energy and Xuanqi to set up a vine array in this valley.

At the entrance, it was carefully designed. If there were no people inside to open the passage, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to find this place.

During this process.

The people of Wang's Clan digested the gains of this time. Wang Luoqiu and Wang Luoqing both took the primary bloodline improvement liquid, underwent a marrow cleansing, and awakened their bloodline for the second time.

Their talents had already reached the middle-grade A level, and after this marrow cleansing, they both stepped onto the top-grade D level. Such terrifying bloodline talents, even in the entire Longzuo Commandery, were very rare geniuses, worthy of being called the pride of heaven.

Their future prospects were truly limitless.

At the same time, Wang Lici's gains were even better. She relied on the primary bloodline improvement liquid to further improve her talent.

Under the protection of the ancestor, she broke through from the peak of Qi Refining Realm to the Spirit Platform Realm, becoming a very young Spirit Platform Realm cultivator. She was only twenty-four or five years old, even in the Purple Mansion Academy, she was considered very excellent.

It's a pity that this girl was naturally lazy and not enthusiastic about practicing Xuanwu martial arts. The only thing worth praising was her full luck. How far she could go in the future, no one could tell.

In the Xuanwu Dao, sometimes luck is more important than talent.

In addition, it's worth mentioning Liu Yuanhui.

With his lower-grade A-level talent, he was able to reach the peak of the Qi Refining Realm at the age of thirty, which shows how much resources the Liu's Clan had invested in him?

This time he also obtained a Heavenly Spirit Pill, under the protection of Ancestor Xuan Fu, he attempted to break through and successfully advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm. His luck was also good, after all, with a lower-grade A-level talent, the success rate of breaking through to the Spirit Platform Realm was not 100%.

Like Wang Lici, who originally had top-grade talent, the probability of breaking through to the Spirit Platform Realm was not 100%, but the failure rate was very low. This is one of the importance of bloodline talent.

But no matter what, it was a great fortune for Liu Yuanhui to be promoted to the Spirit Platform Realm. Shanyin Liu's Clan, thus, became a family with four Spirit Platforms in the open.

Why say in the open?

The reason is simple, because Shanyin Liu's Clan originally had four Spirit Platform Realm ancestors, but Liu Yuanhui and Liu Ruolan's grandfather - Liu Cunren, had already secretly advanced to the Spirit Platform Realm.

But in order to preserve their trump card and keep a low profile, so as not to attract more attention, they hid Ancestor Cunren.

This is the survival way of the noble families, especially for families like Liu's Clan, which has three Spirit Platforms, they will certainly secretly hold their trump cards.

Now that Liu's Clan has five Spirit Platform Realms, once it is publicized, it will inevitably cause a great uproar, and it is estimated that Liu Yuanhui will also be secretly hidden.

The Wang's Clan gained a lot this time.

Among them, the biggest gainers were Wang Shouzhe and his wife.

In the temporarily excavated mountain, Wang Shouzhe was in seclusion to digest the fruits of this battle, while Ancestor Long Yan was outside, protecting him.

Wang Shouzhe sat cross-legged, his heart filled with emotion. From the day he crossed over, he was a small clan leader who lived in fear every day.

Today, he is already qualified to challenge the Spirit Platform Realm. The process was full of hardships and joys of harvest.

Spirit Platform Realm.

In a sense, in this Xuanwu world, the Spirit Platform Realm is just the beginning.

Only then did he truly have some self-protection ability.

He calmed his mind, eliminated distractions, and adjusted himself to a state of emptiness. Only then did he take out the Heavenly Spirit Pill and swallowed it without joy or sorrow.

The Heavenly Spirit Pill immediately turned into a thick and domineering energy, assaulting his internal organs. The immense pain twisted his handsome face.

Wang Shouzhe quickly operated the top-grade wood technique "Eternal Spring True Secret" in the last stage of the Qi Refining Chapter, controlling that energy and making it his own.

And with the gentle and pure Eternal Spring True Qi, he entered the breakthrough stage.

The Qi Refining Realm is a long process of accumulation. To break through to the Spirit Platform Realm, one must open the two bridges of heaven and earth to enter the Great Zhou Tian of Xuanqi circulation, and open up the Spirit Platform to obtain a continuous stream of spiritual sense.

Spiritual sense, commonly known as mental power, would be considered a superpower on Earth.

Some people with strong bloodlines already have a preliminary spiritual sense when they are in the Qi Refining Realm, such as Wang Shouzhe, who already has some weak spiritual sense.

And Wang Luoqing, her spiritual sense was not weak when she was in the Qi Refining Realm.Having a preliminary spiritual sense, Wang Shouzhe found some advantages in opening the spiritual platform, and even some shortcuts to take.

However, the most important first step for Wang Shouzhe was to open the two bridges of heaven and earth.

He drove the wood-based Xuanqi, carrying the energy of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, and repeatedly ran the small Zhou Tian cycle. Wherever he passed, all the acupoints resonated, the Qi and blood in his body were boiling and burning, and every cell in his body was resonating.

After several small Zhou Tian cycles, when his body was in the best state, he began to attack the two bridges of heaven and earth.

Then he did not experience the state of wanting to die or become immortal. Under the huge energy, the two bridges of heaven and earth only resisted for the time of a stick of incense before they broke one after another.

From then on, the Xuanqi flowed unimpeded, helping Wang Shouzhe form a large Zhou Tian cycle.

"These two bridges of heaven and earth are too weak, aren't they?" Wang Shouzhe secretly complained, even the prepared auxiliary elixirs were not needed.

However, this was within reason. He had taken the heavenly treasures that improved and evolved his bloodline time and time again, and now he had reached the top grade Ding level, entering the ranks of the twice bloodline awakened geniuses.

With such excellent aptitude, if he still suffered immensely from opening the two bridges of heaven and earth, wouldn't the word 'genius' be shamed?

It is said that in ancient times, some particularly powerful geniuses didn't even need the Heavenly Spirit Pill to reach the Spiritual Platform Realm. However, such geniuses were far from Wang Shouzhe, and it was questionable whether he could meet one in his lifetime.

When Wang Shouzhe completed the large Zhou Tian cycle for the first time.

Suddenly, all the acupoints in his large Zhou Tian cycle resonated at the same time, driving his Qi and blood into a boiling state. His whole body was enveloped in a rising mist, entering a mysterious transformation.

Countless cells were dying, and the newly born cells in his body became very strong, far beyond the Qi Refining Realm.

This was a transformation of life, an evolution of physique.

From the Qi Refining Realm to the Spiritual Platform Realm, it was a huge change that turned the world upside down. Along with it, there would be a great leap in the level of life.

This was naturally within reason, otherwise how could the Spiritual Platform Realm live for two hundred years?

Wang Shouzhe's body was rapidly evolving, and the dead cells were expelled through the pores along with the steam and sweat, forming a layer of black dirt. But at this time, he obviously couldn't care about that much, he must not stop at this time.

He ran the large Zhou Tian cycle time and time again, and each cycle drove his body to evolve. His own Xuanqi and the energy of the Heavenly Spirit Pill were also rapidly consumed.

This was why the Heavenly Spirit Pill was needed to attack the Spiritual Platform Realm. Without the vast energy support of the Heavenly Spirit Pill, how could the energy in the body of an ordinary Xuanwu cultivator be enough?

Wang Shouzhe's body evolution reached its peak only after he completed the ninth large Zhou Tian cycle. Next, he needed to practice slowly, step by step, until he stepped into the realm of the Heavenly Man.

At this time, there was another very important thing waiting for Wang Shouzhe to do, and that was to open the spiritual platform.

Only after opening the spiritual platform could he be considered a true Spiritual Platform Realm cultivator.

The location of the spiritual platform is above the eyebrows and in the middle of the forehead. This is a very mysterious and mysterious place in the human body, which is related to the existence of human spiritual power.

Even on Earth, there are many studies and records about this location, but Earth humans cannot cultivate Xuanqi, and it is even more difficult to actively open the spiritual platform.

The location of the spiritual platform needs to be accessed through the two bridges of heaven and earth.

This is why the two bridges of heaven and earth need to be opened first in order to open the spiritual platform.

Wang Shouzhe ran his Xuanqi, passed through the two bridges of heaven and earth, and slowly infiltrated the spiritual platform in a silent way like moisturizing things.

Opening the spiritual platform must not be rushed, this is the most vulnerable place of humans, a little carelessness can cause damage to the spiritual platform, which is a big trouble.

Xuanqi gradually filled the spiritual platform, like the beginning of the universe, the originally chaotic spiritual platform gradually filled and swelled, slowly becoming clear.

At this time, Wang Shouzhe closed his eyes.

But he gradually felt everything around him in a magical way, which was completely different from what he saw with his eyes, and also different from the feeling of radar exploration. It was as if, where his spiritual power covered, everything around him was directly reflected in his mind.

He couldn't describe this wonderful feeling, for example, he could feel the rocks on the ground, so clear, even the uneven surface, roughness could be felt, as if he was gently touching with his hand.

But he couldn't feel the color of the rock, after all, color is something that is perceived by capturing light through the human eye organ.

This feeling became clearer and clearer, which also meant that his spiritual sense was getting stronger and stronger.

It wasn't until a feeling of swelling and slight pain came from the spiritual platform that he stopped continuing to open the spiritual platform.

He knew that he had reached the limit, and if he continued to force the opening, he might damage the spiritual platform and lose more than he gained.

And if he wanted to strengthen the spiritual platform, he had to continue to practice and reach the second level of the Spiritual Platform Realm.

Wang Shouzhe slowly opened his eyes, and the sight was very clear. The cave he had opened for cultivation was very rough on the outside, and his eyes could clearly see the rough and uneven places.

It was like a nearsighted person wearing glasses for the first time, the world was so clear.

At the same time, his ears also became very sensitive, he could even faintly hear the weak breathing of Long Yan Ancestor who was guarding outside the door.

Of course, this was because Long Yan Ancestor did not deliberately hide her breath, otherwise Wang Shouzhe would not have discovered her.

This was the transformation after the body stepped into the Spiritual Platform Realm, every aspect of the body's quality had made a huge progress, vision and hearing, this was just one part.

This was a leap of life.

Wang Shouzhe's heart was filled with excitement, he stood up, feeling as light as a feather.With every step he took, it felt as if he was about to take flight. Compared to the Qi Refining stage, the Spirit Platform stage felt like being a celestial being, ready to fly at any moment.

No wonder Ancestor Xiaohan, after his promotion, often walked on water and skimmed low over the ground. It was a natural instinct of the body.

Wang Shouzhe lightly tapped his foot, and his body floated upwards, as if weightless. It wasn't until he reached the top of the cave that he slowly descended like a feather.

This feeling was like being on a low-gravity planet, as if his body had lost all weight.

Just as Wang Shouzhe was three feet off the ground, the Xuan energy within his body suddenly swelled. Suddenly, the speed at which his body was falling came to an abrupt halt, and he was suspended in mid-air.

Levitation, flight, these have been dreams of mankind since time immemorial.

In this Xuanwu world, as long as one reached the Spirit Platform stage, one could briefly levitate and control the air.

This made Wang Shouzhe's heart surge with excitement. He hovered and skimmed ten meters, his body still suspended in the air.

It was exhilarating.

This feeling of seemingly breaking free from the earth's gravity truly stirred his heart. It was vastly different from the feeling of jumping or gliding.

This was true flight.

However, to counteract gravity, the consumption of Xuan energy was extremely fast. In just a short while, Wang Shouzhe could feel a significant loss of Xuan energy.

That's why Spirit Platform stage cultivators would never use flight as a means of travel. They would have to land and recover after only a short distance.

After a simple test of his strength and speed, Wang Shouzhe found that he was naturally far superior to his peak at the Qi Refining stage.

Such an all-round improvement.

This made Wang Shouzhe feel a strong sense of security. Only by becoming stronger could he survive in this dangerous Xuanhuan world.

He had worked hard for nearly nine years for this step.

The nine years of hard work were not in vain.

Suddenly, he felt a surge of pride in his heart.

He was not yet twenty-six years old, but he was already eager to see what it would be like to step into the Heavenly Man stage.
