Chapter 143: Retreat and Practice, the Demonic Disaster Comes Again!

That's right.

He has indeed encountered a bottleneck.

In the past, if his martial arts cultivation level wanted to break through and advance, it almost always happened naturally without many obstacles.

Basically, as long as the cultivation base is full and the peak level of the current realm is reached, one can naturally and smoothly enter the next level.

But this time it was different.

His martial arts cultivation has obviously reached the peak of the divine realm, and he has even stayed at this realm for almost a week, but there is no sign of a breakthrough.

Even if his martial arts cultivation is still increasing, even if his actual combat power continues to increase day by day.

However, his level of cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Divine Realm. He was unable to take the last step, life or death, and could not advance to the legendary realm of sainthood!

That's why Liu Zimo thought of taking advantage of this free time to have a good retreat.

After all, it has been half a year since he was reborn, and he has not yet officially gone through seclusion, and has not properly sorted out all the gains he has made over such a long time.

[Pingyang Breathing Technique] operates quietly, and with each exhalation and inhalation, endless spiritual energy from the surroundings rushes towards the room where Liu Zimo is located.

In a moment, a small psychic storm even formed, absorbing all the psychic energy within a radius of ten miles!

"Um?!"

The sleeping turtle woke up due to the sudden loss of spiritual energy around him and looked around blankly.

I thought I was back in the Dharma Ending Era ten thousand years ago, and I was so frightened that a layer of cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

When it opened its eyes and calmed down for a moment, it saw that it was no longer on its owner's shoulders, but had been placed in a flowerpot in the courtyard by its owner irresponsibly. The old turtle couldn't help but feel resentful.

【It’s real! 】

[This guy is definitely the reincarnation of that unscrupulous old man! 】

[This abominable behavior of not taking this spirit turtle seriously at all is exactly the same! 】

[Even if you think I'm in the way and delaying your hookup with the little nun next door, there's no need to throw me into a flower pot. I'm a spiritual pet after all. There's no problem at all if I stay at the door to keep you cool. do not have? 】

As if recalling the unbearable past in ancient times, the resentment in the old turtle's heart continued, and the eyes of the soybean-sized turtle were full of resentment.

At this time, another psychic storm suddenly struck, awakening the old turtle from his memories of resentment.

Only then did it notice that the reason why it suddenly couldn't absorb spiritual energy just now was not because of the decline of spiritual energy or the return of the end of the world, but because its new master was cultivating his energy with all his strength.

It’s not surprising that a warrior in the realm of spiritual connection can cause such a big commotion with his full cultivation.

After all, the spiritual energy on this continent has not yet fully recovered. At least it is not even a little bit behind the concentration of spiritual energy in ancient times.

In other words, the concentration of spiritual energy contained in the air today is not enough to support the daily practice needs of warriors in the realm of gods, which is why such an abnormal spiritual energy storm is triggered.

If it were placed in ancient times, with the same practice method, even if some spiritual energy would be tilted this way, it would never cause such a big movement as before.

"However, it is really rare. After following the master for so long, this is the first time I have seen him practice so seriously in seclusion!"

"Even in the secret realm of spiritual energy, I have never seen him drink a few sips of spiritual spring water before, let alone meditate and practice seriously like now!"

"It seems like I'm a little anxious because I haven't been able to break through the bottleneck of spiritual communication for a long time!"

"Tsk, tsk, you are so impatient. Only two days after entering the peak of the Divine Realm, you actually want to break through and become a saint!"

"Is this because Su Hui from the previous life was not fully awakened?"

"Otherwise, how could he not know that there is a natural chasm between the divine realm and the holy realm that is insurmountable for ordinary people!"

"Under normal circumstances, whether you are a warrior or a spiritual practitioner, if you want to take the final step, there is actually only one way!"

"That is when the spirit and flesh are united, and the body and spirit are perfect. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to cross the chasm of heaven and become holy and transcendent in one step!"

"And now, although the master's martial arts cultivation has reached the realm of spiritual connection, his spiritual realm is still only the holy realm of the spiritual sea, far from the perfect realm of the unity of spirit and body!"

The old turtle shook his head and whispered to himself.

If it were so easy to break through to the Saint Realm, in the ancient world of cultivation, one or two saints would not be born every tens of thousands of years, or even longer!

For the vast majority of warriors and spiritual cultivators, the realm of divine connection and spiritual realm are actually the ultimate realms that they can reach!

If you want to go further, you can only have a chance by practicing both spirit and martial arts, reaching the level of spiritual connection, and integrating spirit and body!

But now Liu Zimo obviously does not have the conditions for such promotion.

Naturally, Liu Zimo didn't hear what the old turtle said.

At this time, his mind was completely silent, and he fell into a deep state of concentration with no desires, no thoughts, no thoughts, and no self.

It's been a few months since I was reborn, and it's been a non-stop journey.

So much so that he barely had time to sit in one place, take a good rest, and practice meditation seriously even once without any distractions and complete silence!

This time, if his cultivation had not reached a bottleneck, something happened to Long Hai and he would not be able to leave for a while.

He might even continue running with the two girls to the next city!

call!

Inhale!

Exhale!

Inhale!

Between one inhalation and another, the whole world seemed to be taken into his chest and lungs, his mind was clear, his blood was surging, and his whole body was in peace!

Liu Zimo was completely immersed in this state of ecstasy, wandering in the world, not knowing what time was.

The people in the military advisory office naturally sensed the lack and biased movement of the surrounding spiritual energy.

When they sensed that all the spiritual energy in the air was blowing towards the courtyard where Consultant Liu was like a storm, they were all shocked and astonished.

As warriors, most of them responded to the call of the military arsenal and were practicing the [Pingyang Breathing Method] that the military arsenal had just announced.

Therefore, when they saw the speed and rhythm of the gathering and stopping of the spiritual energy storm, which was obviously completely consistent with the [Pingyang Breathing Method] they were practicing.

How could they not understand that this was Consultant Liu practicing in meditation!

However, with just one breath, he could devour and refine all the spiritual energy within a radius of thousands or even tens of thousands of meters. Isn't this too exaggerated?

Even though they already knew that Consultant Liu was an extraordinary martial artist and was ridiculously strong.

But they never thought that Consultant Liu was so strong that he was inhuman!

An ordinary meditation practice could stir up the spiritual energy fluctuations within a radius of several miles. This is something that Zhou Santong and Liu Yang could never do at their peak!

In the office of the director of the Military Affairs Department.

Acting director Zhu Yixiang also sensed the abnormal changes in the spiritual energy in the air at the first time.

When he found that the fluctuations and rhythms of the spiritual energy changes around him were exactly the same as the [Pingyang Breathing Method], he was immediately ecstatic.

"This is Instructor Liu personally guiding everyone to practice breathing!"

"As long as you practice according to the changing rhythm of the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations, even a three-year-old child can master the [Pingyang Breathing Method] at the fastest speed, right?!"

"This is much faster and more efficient than the military arsenal and military affairs department constantly promoting and guiding the soldiers below, and the frequency of errors will be lower!"

After figuring this out, Zhu Yixiang could no longer sit still, and hurriedly opened his mouth to order the guards outside the door:

"Pass my order!"

"Notify all military soldiers in the city who have no missions to temporarily put down their work, sit in meditation on the spot, carefully sense the rhythm changes of the surrounding spiritual energy, and guide the breathing practice!"

"Tell them that this is Instructor Liu demonstrating teaching in person. The opportunity is extremely rare. If you miss it, there will be no next time!"

After the instructions, Zhu Yixiang also directly crossed his legs and entered into meditation, relaxed his mind, carefully sensed the rhythm of the gathering and dispersion of the surrounding spiritual energy, and constantly adjusted his breathing frequency.

Using Liu Zimo's practice rhythm as a template, he corrected and confirmed his previous understanding of the [Pingyang Breathing Method] bit by bit.

Moreover, every time the psychic storm gathers, there will be a vast amount of psychic energy that is far superior to usual. Following Liu Zimo's breathing rhythm to practice, they can also get a little soup to drink from it.

In just a short while, Zhu Yixiang felt that his breathing method became more and more smooth and skillful, and the internal breath in his body was constantly rising at a very fast speed!

Military Affairs Office, and major camps.

After receiving the order from the head of the Military Affairs Office, thousands of military soldiers sat in meditation at the same time, closed their eyes and sensed, and practiced independently with Liu Zimo's breathing rhythm.

After more than ten minutes, almost all military soldiers entered into a state of concentration naturally, and successfully transformed the previous breathing method into the current [Pingyang Breathing Method]!

Not only did the practice speed suddenly increase several times, but after waves of psychic storms, they all drank a lot.

Almost everyone's cultivation realm has greatly improved in a short period of time.

Boom!

Boom!

Breakthroughs and advancements continued!

Some stepped into the bronze skin, some broke through the iron bones. For a time, the strength of the soldiers in the entire military advisory office and the nearby major camps was advancing by leaps and bounds.

However, no one cheered for this.

Even those warriors who successfully broke through the realm quickly entered the state of meditation and cultivation after breaking through the realm.

No one wanted to miss such a rare opportunity to guide cultivation!

If possible, they even wished that Consultant Liu could come here every day!

Liu Zimo had no idea about the changes in the outside world and the huge impact and commotion caused by his normal retreat in the entire Longhai Military Advisory Office.

However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care too much.

He wouldn't care about these military advisors following him to drink soup, because it wouldn't affect his cultivation at all.

On the contrary, because of his unintentional act, he indirectly gained the gratitude and respect of so many military officers, which was a pleasant surprise for him.

Just like that.

Time passed quietly between Liu Zimo's long and powerful breaths.

In the blink of an eye.

A week passed just like that.

Liu Zimo's practice has never stopped.

As time went on, even some residents living near the military office began to unconsciously follow the rhythm of the daily breeze and subtly adjust their breathing frequency.

Because they found that whenever the breeze blew, the air they inhaled into their lungs would be extremely fresh, and the whole person would be refreshed.

When the breeze stops, the original fresh air will become tasteless, and taking a breath will even make them feel a little chest tightness and discomfort.

Over time, they naturally developed the habit of breathing hard when the breeze blows, and exhaling hard when the breeze stops.

When the habit becomes natural, [Pingyang Breathing Method] will be directly integrated into their daily breathing, and it will come naturally!

Moreover, this is still under the guidance of a martial artist in the realm of the gods like Liu Zimo, and the probability of making mistakes and practicing poorly is almost zero!

After a week, not to mention that all the residents in the city have learned [Pingyang Breathing Method], nearly 70% of the people have benefited from it!

There is no way. When Liu Zimo entered into meditation, the spiritual energy fluctuations he attracted covered a range of more than ten kilometers, covering nearly 60% of the area in the urban area of ​​Longhai City.

Many ordinary residents, without even knowing what happened, practiced [Pingyang Breathing Method] unknowingly.

The eighth day.

The situation in Longhai City has basically stabilized.

The adverse effects caused by the deaths of Luo Hong, Zhou Santong, Liu Yang and others have been completely eliminated under Zhu Yixiang's continuous efforts.

Ye Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao, the two girls, have either been wandering around the city or hunting monsters outside the city these days.

When they are in high spirits, they will also teach the warriors or soldiers in the city some tips on collecting monsters' flesh and blood.

When they are free, they will also fly to small farms or villages dozens of kilometers away to collect food for those hungry children or old people.

Although the food collected is not much, it is simply a drop in the bucket for Longhai City, which has a population of tens of millions.

But the two little girls are still happy to do it.

In the words of their master, occasionally reaching out to help others while ensuring their own safety is actually a good experience.

The reason why people are called people is because they have humanity and conscience.

No matter how strong their martial arts skills are in the future, or how high their status is, Liu Zimo doesn't want the apprentices he teaches to be cold machines that have lost their humanity and conscience.

Therefore, when teaching them, Liu Zimo will not only teach them how to deal with the darkness and danger of the end of the world, but also how to better protect their lives from any threats.

At the same time, he did not neglect to cultivate the kind nature that has never been lost in their hearts.

Therefore, after a week, the two little girls became famous in Longhai City.

All those who have received their help have light in their eyes when they see them.

Gratitude, awe, love, and admiration, seeing them is like seeing two flying angels, bringing light and gospel to them in the disaster!

Of course, secretly, the two girls have also encountered some people with bad intentions tracking and calculations.

However, their results are imaginable.

Even the Grandmasters like Zhou Santong and Liu Yang, they will not hesitate to kill them, not to mention the small shrimps like those gangsters in the city.

Seven days later.

They searched almost all the nearby villages and towns.

Because they were worried about their master and were afraid that he would not be able to find them after he came out of retreat, the two girls did not dare to search further.

Moreover, after being out for so many days, they were a little tired and missed their master.

So, on the morning of the eighth day, the two girls quietly returned to the military advisory office and stood guard in front of the gate of the courtyard where their master was in retreat.

This guard lasted another week.

The two girls were not impatient at all, but both meditated in the courtyard and practiced seriously.

As for the old turtle thrown in the flowerpot, it was even more patient.

For more than ten days, it didn't even move, and it was always sleeping in the flowerpot.

On the morning of the eighteenth day of Liu Zimo's retreat, something strange happened in the sky above Longhai City.

A huge vortex with a silver halo suddenly appeared in the middle of the sky. In the center of the vortex was a huge black hole that was bottomless. The hole opened and closed, and endless spiritual energy gushed out of the black hole.

Here it comes again!

Ye Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, and the soldiers and civilians in the city all stood up in horror and looked up at this huge vortex that had appeared more than once!

"Is the third demon disaster coming?!"

"I wonder how many people will die in the city this time..."

"Yes, every time a demon disaster comes, it seems that more powerful monsters will fall from the sky. I heard that more than 500,000 people in the city died directly in the mouth of the beast last time. Can we be as lucky as last time?"

"It's over!"

"I heard that the two masters Zhou Santong and Liu Yang have been executed for rebellion. Now there are no master-level strongmen in the city. Can we defend Longhai City?"

"..."

Most of the soldiers and civilians in the city looked up at the shocking vision that suddenly appeared in the sky, and they were all panicked and talked constantly.

Only the officers and soldiers in the Military Affairs Office showed no signs of panic.

Not only because their cultivation progress had greatly improved over the past half month, and their confidence had doubled.

But also because they all knew that at this time, there was a powerful person in the Military Affairs Office who was ten or a hundred times stronger than Zhou Santong and Liu Yang!

As long as Advisor Liu is here, no matter what the third demon disaster, they are still confident that they can defend Longhai City at their feet!

"Ho~!"

Just when everyone held their breath, waiting for the third demonic disaster to come.

In Longhai City, there was suddenly an earth-shattering beast roar.

Immediately afterwards, the residents of the whole city saw a huge turtle with a size of more than 10,000 meters soaring into the sky from the city and pounced straight towards the black hole vortex suspended in mid-air!
