After another failure, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes and shook her head helplessly.
After so many failures, she finally understood that that state was something that could only be met but not desired.
The more deliberately you pursue it, the harder it is to achieve it.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, cleared away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and tried her best to maintain a focused practice.
She slowed down the speed of the technique and felt the flow of spiritual energy in her body, refusing to let go of every detail.
In this kind of practice, she gradually became better and better, almost forgetting who she was and what she was doing. She only relied on instinct to operate her skills and capture every movement of spiritual energy.
She didn't know how long it lasted, but she suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, like seeing the sun through clouds, and the fog in front of her eyes instantly disappeared.
At the same time, there seemed to be a clear air coming from the Baihui area on the top of the head, spreading throughout the body.
In this state, Xu Chunniang's perception becomes extremely sharp, and her soul can even be released outside her body.
She suddenly looked towards the top of Endless Mountain. If her body couldn't climb the mountain, could her soul give it a try?
At this thought, Xu Chunniang's soul left her body and floated away towards the mountain.
The soul was invisible, floating up dozens of steps, and in just a few breaths, it left the others far behind.
She continued to walk towards the mountain, and the higher she went, the quieter the surroundings became, as if she was the only one left in the world.
Xu Chunniang's spirit moved forward, and after an unknown amount of time, it finally reached halfway up the mountain.
But at this moment, she felt unspeakable loneliness.
So what if the road of cultivation came to an end, with no relatives or friends left, leaving her alone, walking alone on this long road of cultivation.
Three thousand worlds, where is the way back?
There have been countless geniuses throughout the ages, and a few people have achieved true enlightenment, but in the end, everything is in vain.
Xu Chunniang stopped walking sadly. Although she had the determination to face difficulties, she had no time to cultivate. Can she really survive this long loneliness?
After endless years of practice, it is very likely that what will come is not the attainment of true enlightenment, but failure in advancement and re-entering reincarnation.
In this case, what is the point of practicing?
No, I have a dream, to practice Taoism and seek immortality!
The confusion in Xu Chunniang's eyes disappeared, and she showed determination again.
So what if she is the only one walking alone on this road? There are so many people who share the same path, one after another, embarking on the road of cultivation, and she is never alone on this path.
No matter what if you fail to advance during foundation building, the essence of cultivation is to live in the face of death, constantly break your own shackles, and shed the mundane and false.
She will only believe in her true heart, stick to who she is, and walk her own path.
The moment this thought first appeared, countless auras came out of the Endless Mountain, swept toward her, and sank into her soul.
Xu Chunniang's soul instantly solidified and grew several times stronger.
After absorbing these breaths, her soul continued to move towards the mountain, faster than before.
As time went by, Xu Chunniang felt that her strength was growing.
She had an intuition that she could move mountains and seas with just a wave of her fingers.
She stopped and waved lightly downwards, and saw that the Endless Mountain under her feet collapsed and was annihilated inch by inch.
Xu Chunniang moved gently, as if she had just brushed off the dust on her clothes.
She was hanging in the air, looking up at the sky, as if she could easily cut it with her fingers.
She did so, and a huge hole was cut in the sky, revealing the empty sky.
Xu Chunniang suddenly felt bored. After possessing such a powerful power, she could easily tear apart this small secret realm in front of her, but so what.
Strength is never the end of cultivation.
The moment she had this thought, the torn void instantly returned to its original shape, and the Endless Mountain under her feet became even more stable, as if it had never cracked in the slightest.
Xu Chunniang thought thoughtfully, this endless mountain is really extraordinary, it can pull people into an extremely real illusion unintentionally, exposing the true nature of the self.
Perhaps, this is also part of the assessment?
She thought quietly in her heart, looking up at the top of the mountain in front of her.
The body of the soul is extremely fast. Before she knew it, Xu Chunniang had reached a position close to the top of the mountain. She only needed to take a few more steps to reach the top.
But these last few steps seemed as insurmountable as eternity.
No matter how hard she tried, she could never reach it.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier between her and the top of the mountain, separating the two.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice appeared.
"Give up. There are endless mountains. You will never reach the top. The end of the world is just around the corner."
Xu Chunniang's heart moved slightly, "Are you the soul of this mountain?"
But after she asked the question, the voice did not appear again.
"It's very difficult for me to give up."
Xu Chunniang continued on by herself, "I am too stubborn. To put it bluntly, I am stubborn. It is difficult to change things I have made my mind right."
It was difficult to climb the Endless Mountain with the body, but after the soul left the body, it was easy to do it.
It was difficult to overcome this distance, perhaps because she hadn't found the right way yet.
As long as you find a way, there's no need to worry about not being able to reach the top.
If Xu Chunniang felt something, she looked down the mountain.
Without the obstruction of clouds and fog, overlooking the past, the entire secret realm can be seen before your eyes.
There is a green valley to the east, and there are several large and small lakes to the south.
To the north are low hills, and to the west are endless yellow sand deserts.
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
She felt a little emotional in her heart. Although she had not reached the top, what was the difference between being here and reaching the top?
As long as there is a mountain in your heart, where can't you climb to the top?
As long as you have the Tao in your heart, where can you not practice?
As soon as she thought about it, she realized that the insurmountable distance had disappeared at some point.
At this moment, Xu Chunniang is standing on the top of Wuren Mountain.
"You are the fourth person to step onto the top of the mountain."
The endless mountain soul finally appeared. It looked at Xu Chunniang with a look of surprise in its eyes.
"I didn't expect that someone in the small Ganluo world could climb this endless mountain. It is not easy to climb this mountain. Just finding the right way to climb the mountain is difficult for 99% of people. "
Xu Chunniang believed that the ubiquitous resistance on the mountain would only make it more difficult for people to walk. Only the transcendent spirit can overcome these obstacles.
The separation of the soul from the body is not something that a monk in the Qi training stage can easily do. If you are not careful, both body and soul will be destroyed.
I'm afraid entering that mysterious meditative state, allowing the soul to naturally leave the body, is the correct way.
Seeing what Xu Chunniang was thinking, Endless Mountain Soul nodded slightly.
"The original body of Endless Mountain is a stone of enlightenment. Only with a firm mind and good understanding can we have the opportunity to enter the realm of virtuality, condense the body, and separate the soul from the body."
It turns out that that mysterious state is called the realm of virtual extremes?
Xu Chunniang silently wrote these down, and then remembered that Wushan Mountain Soul had mentioned before that she was the fourth person to reach the summit.
“Have three other people climbed to the top before me?”
