Chapter 202: You can't sit in a well and look at the sky, fortunately you are lucky
"Woooo..."
Coincidentally, Li Dingguo's breakthrough had just ended, and Xiao Douya and Hongmei nearby also started their breakthrough.
A void passage suddenly appeared above each of their heads, and silver-white star power as thick as a bucket rushed out from it.
The continuously surging power of their natal stars, together with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that roared in from all directions, as well as the special life energy unique to this place, quickly formed a funnel-like vortex in the shape of a Tai Chi diagram above their heads.
Then it flowed along the spiritual points on the top of their heads and continuously poured into their sea of consciousness.
The two of them also successfully broke through the bottleneck and entered the next realm.
Xiao Douya and Hongmei have almost equal qualifications and talents, and it is difficult to tell the difference between them. It can be said that they are evenly matched.
The momentum created by their breakthrough this time was much smaller than that of Li Dingguo just now.
The entire breakthrough process for the two of them took a while longer, and after nearly three hours, it finally ended.
"Big brother!"
"Brother Dingguo!"
The two girls who had successfully broken through and stabilized their cultivation just opened their eyes and looked towards where Li Dingguo was.
Seeing that he was looking at them with a smile, he immediately jumped up from the ground in joy, flashed to his side, and jumped up and down to cheer.
"Brother, this time with the help of the special life energy emitted by this mysterious spiritual root, the breakthrough process of the three of us was so smooth!"
"I think our current cultivation level has surpassed that of the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong. As for Zhang Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Zhang Huier, they can't catch up with us even if they try their best!"
"I feel that my current combat power has at least increased two or three times. If I encounter those big Shanxi merchants who are trying to trip us up again, I will smash them all with one hammer!"...
Xiao Douya and Hongmei saw that Li Dingguo had made a breakthrough first, and they were so happy that they smiled like flowers and kept shouting.
In front of Li Dingguo, they were still like innocent little girls, saying whatever they thought without any reservations in their words.
"Ah."
Li Dingguo touched Xiao Douya's head with his big hand and said with a smile, "We have successfully broken through to the fourth level of martial arts during this retreat, which is certainly a cause for celebration."
"But in this world, the enemies we will face in the future, including those powerful Tartar forces and the ten major Shanxi merchants, are not short of masters of the fifth level of martial arts."
"So we still can't slack off. We must at least break through to the fifth level of martial arts and become a true master. Only then will we have the confidence to confront these enemies head-on."
"That is to say, our Renaissance Army was established less than a year ago, and has not attracted the attention of these enemies. This gives us enough time to focus on development."
"Let alone the grassland overlord, the Later Jin Tartars, even if it is any of the top ten Shanxi merchants, our current strength is far inferior to theirs."
"These large and famous forces are far more powerful than they appear on the surface. They must have more than one fifth-level martial arts clan master, and they also have financial resources that we cannot match at all now!"
"In many cases, money makes the world go round. This is not a joke, it's the truth."
Li Dingguo still maintained an extremely clear mind and did not think that he and the Fuxing Army had the strength to dominate the world now.
On the contrary, even the Renaissance Army, which is now on the right track, plus his own Qi Refining Realm masters, cannot match the overall strength of any large Shanxi merchant!
If you are not even as good as this great merchant, how can you be so arrogant as to be a frog in a well and look at the sky from the bottom of the well?
Even though the Restoration Army is growing healthily and rapidly, far exceeding any of its enemies, it is still only a newly developed force due to the short time frame.
But in terms of development potential and growth rate, the Restoration Army now has a great advantage over the various rebel armies in the interior who are now living a miserable life, and cannot be compared with those rebel armies in the interior.
Once any other force, including the rebel forces within the Great Wall, is surpassed by our own, there will be no chance for them to catch up again.
Li Dingguo has the confidence and ability to do it.
"Brother, I know the importance of this, and I won't be so arrogant as to try to challenge those enemies who are at the fifth level of martial arts."
"Brother Dingguo, although we are not very strong now, we are not bad anymore. We should be vigilant, but we don't need to underestimate ourselves."
After Li Dingguo finished speaking, Xiao Douya and Hongmei nodded in agreement.
"Brother, this time the three of us succeeded in breaking through together. In this formation space, the large amount of life energy emanating from this five-colored mysterious spiritual root was actually absorbed by us."
Xiao Douya then sensed the surrounding situation and said in surprise, "What a close call! The amount of special life energy accumulated here was almost not enough for the three of us to break through."
"Fortunately, we were lucky and didn't run into a bad situation where we were just a hair's breadth away from being able to break through."
"When I break through to a higher realm next time, I must allow this five-colored spiritual root to accumulate special life energy for at least one year."
"Otherwise, it probably won't be enough for us to break through to a higher realm next time."
She said with some fear. Xiao Douya's worry was not without reason.
After accumulating enough experience, practitioners will go into seclusion to break through. If they fail to break through, there will be consequences.
Failure to break through will damage one's soul and the consequences will be very serious, almost the same as the severe damage suffered when one's martial arts form is shattered by the enemy.
In more serious cases, it may even cause one's own cultivation to decline.
Even if he was luckier, he would need at least a year of recuperation to recover his spirit and energy which had been severely damaged by the backlash of the failed breakthrough.
Moreover, if a cultivator fails to break through the Qi Refining Stage, the difficulty of breaking through again in the future will at least double.
Therefore, unless one is confident enough, the practitioners with higher cultivation level should be more cautious when they are in seclusion to break through the realm, so as to avoid failure in the breakthrough, which would lead to disastrous consequences!
"Xiao Douya, you are right. This problem cannot be ignored. We must pay special attention to it in the future."
"That's right, Xiao Douya, your reminder was very timely. I didn't expect that the three of us almost made an irreparable mistake!"
After hearing what Xiao Douya said, Li Dingguo and Hongmei looked at each other, and immediately felt the situation in this formation space, and agreed with lingering fear.
The smooth sailing that had always taken place had made both Li Dingguo and Hongmei a little careless.
"Brother Dingguo."
Hongmei thought for a moment and came up with a solution to this problem. "From now on, when the three of us are in seclusion to break through, we cannot break through our cultivation realm at the same time."
"If we come one after another, we don't have to worry about this problem at all, and we can judge in time whether the special life spirit energy generated by this mysterious five-colored spirit root is enough for the next person to break through."
"This way, you can have a clear idea of the situation instead of having to guess nervously."
She thought about it for a moment and came up with a solution to this difficult problem.
"Yes, that's what we should do in the future."
"Sister Hongmei, you are so thoughtful. This method is good."
Li Dingguo and Xiao Douya's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all expressed their agreement.
With the method to solve this major problem during the future retreat and breakthrough, the three people's tense expressions relaxed instantly.
Li Dingguo asked the two maids to wait for a while while he used a round of earth spirit technique and cloud and rain technique on the huge five-colored spiritual root to carry out a new round of cultivation and nourishment for it.
With this breakthrough in realm, the two ancient five-element basic spells he cast were greatly improved in both scale and quality.
Looking at this innate spiritual root that became more vibrant after being nourished by the Earth Spirit Technique and the Cloud and Rain Technique, Li Dingguo nodded with satisfaction. Then, together with Xiao Douya and Hongmei, he left the formation space shrouded by two layers of the five elements basic formation.
The three of them came out of the area covered by the formation and saw the three top-grade dragon-scale horses still lingering there, and they immediately laughed out loud.
"Dahei, Shirayuki, Xiaoxue."
Li Dingguo touched their heads one by one, blocking their tongues from licking his face, so as to avoid being drooled by these three big guys. "Wait two months, and I will take you three in to absorb the life energy again."
"The five-colored spiritual root covered by the formation has not yet grown up. The special life spirit that has gathered and not dispersed must be accumulated for a period of time before you can fully absorb and refine it."
These three top-grade dragon-scale horses are not simple.
After they absorbed a large amount of special life energy last time, their bloodlines should have undergone a substantial upgrade, which contributed to their unique and rapid growth.
They are now extremely intelligent, no less intelligent than a human teenager, and can fully understand human language, but they just can't speak it.
"Hey!"
“Wheeze!”…
After hearing what their master said, the three top-grade dragon-scale horses nodded their big heads, neighed and jumped happily for a while, and then, together with Li Dingguo and the other two, left the place covered by the formation that they had been thinking about all the time.
Waiting another two months is nothing to them and it will pass quickly.
When the time comes, after absorbing another round of special life energy, their qualifications and growth rate will surely increase significantly again.
At this time, it was evening again.
This time, the process of Li Dingguo and the other two breaking through took longer than any previous time.
After their cultivation levels had greatly increased, the three of them felt refreshed. They then returned to their new home by the artificial spiritual lake, where they divided the work and worked together to prepare a sumptuous dinner.
Today is a big day, so we must eat and drink a lot to celebrate.
