Zhang Yan finally reached the threshold of the late stage of the God Returning Realm a month and a half ago. Then he used the ghosts he had hoarded to redeem the merit and spiritual energy he had gained in one go, and he finally started another breakthrough.
The three realms of Guishen are all following the soul. From refining the soul, then tempering the soul. Every substantial progress represents a small improvement in realm.
The key lies in the word "yang".
In the middle stage, Zhang Yan's soul was beaten to create a layer of yang energy, and at the same time, the structure of the soul was beaten to become tighter. Now that we have to climb to the later stages, the tempering of the soul will naturally remain in the same vein. It's just that the ultimate yang energy that only appeared at the last moment last time was poured from his head crazily from the beginning, and participated in every beating of the soul.
Yang Qi must penetrate into every inch of the Yuanshen, and it must be continuously pounded tightly, so that the Yuanshen, a special consciousness structure of pure energy, can transform into an entity.
In the process, mysterious "principles" began to pour into Zhang Yan's consciousness under the guidance of this side of the wilderness, as always. And these "principles" are the driving force, or method, for him to continue to refine his soul. Otherwise, according to the previous "principles", it would be impossible to temper Zhang Yan's soul today, let alone the mysterious transformation from virtuality to reality.
Zhang Yan also naturally immersed himself in the feeling of "principle". At the same time, he continued the "boring" soul beating under the guidance of his subconscious mind, and completely penetrated the ultimate yang energy into his soul.
I do not know how long it has been. Zhang Yan's consciousness was awakened by the almost intense state emanating from his soul.
It suddenly dawned on me that a full three months had passed. And he also officially entered the late stage of the Return to God Realm when his soul was like a golden little sun.
By this time, even if Zhang Yan felt it himself, he would feel that his soul had no impurities at this time, and his whole body almost seemed to be made entirely of extreme yang energy.
"Is this what the Taoist books call "Gu Yang"?" Zhang Yan was not in a hurry to start laying a solid foundation, but was carefully feeling the changes he had made through this breakthrough. Whether it is the body, the soul, or the spirit, he must grasp any changes immediately. Then sort it out downwards and consolidate the realm.
Even compared to previous breakthroughs, Zhang Yan was particularly cautious this time after his breakthrough. After the breakthrough, Zuozu continued to retreat for one month to lay down a solid foundation and become familiar with the new power.
The reason why Zhang Yan is so cautious is that the late stage of Guishen Realm is probably the last realm that he can easily pass in his cultivation path. The next breakthrough is the big realm level, which is to hit the combined realm. The state of unity is talked about a lot in Taoist books. Because the monk's first calamity occurs when he breaks through the great realm of Guishen Realm and Fusion Realm.
Taoist books call it: Nineteen Heavenly Tribulations.
If it were anything else, Zhang Yan could have thought that he would have passed the level with the direct help of Fang Tiandi from the Desolate Heaven Realm, just like in the previous levels. But the next breakthrough was very different.
Because according to the Taoist scriptures, the state of integration is when the souls merge with Yang, and this process requires the tribulation thunder of the heavenly tribulation as the middle force to force the fusion. In other words, if this side of the Desolate Heaven Realm helped cheat and avoid the heavenly tribulation, then Zhang Yan would not be able to step into the combined realm. If he wanted to step into it, he would have to endure the heavenly tribulation.
Zhang Yan was still calm before entering the late stage of Guishen Realm. Now that he has officially stepped in, to be honest, he really feels the urgency that he has never felt before.
After removing all the formations in the upper half of Cliff Mountain, Zhang Yan walked out of the secret room. Looking at the sea of clouds in the distance, I took a long breath.
It seemed that he wanted to exhale the tension in his heart about the catastrophe.
After a while, the sound of rapid rising and falling footsteps came from behind, and soon they stopped about ten feet behind Zhang Yan. Naturally, I felt that the great formation had been dismantled, and I understood that it was Wang Nian and the other three who had come out of seclusion, their master.
"Disciple respectfully welcomes Master out of seclusion!"
Four months apart, Zhang Yan himself felt that it had gone by in a flash. But this is not a short period of time. Compared to the few days I usually spend in Corridor Yuancheng every month, it is really too long.
"Get up. Have you finished your homework?"
"Reply to Master, it's all done!" The leader was Wang Nian, so he answered loudly on behalf of the other two. The voice was full of confidence. Only he himself knows that he only completed those lessons half a month ago. It took more than twice as much time as Liu Rui and Yang Rui. If Master hadn't been released from seclusion much later than before, he would have suffered a disaster this time.
"Very good. I have stayed in the mountains for too long this time. Let's go back to Langyuan City first. Then we can also test what you have learned during this period." Zhang Yan didn't know that Wang Nian was doing this during his retreat. The boy almost didn't finish his homework. Now I just want to go to Langyuan City first. If I don’t show up for four months, my family will definitely be worried.
The three children will naturally not object. Wang Nian even grinned.
Zhang Yan raised his hand to summon the Skylark Shuttle, and soon he led the three apprentices directly to the backyard of Zhang Mansion. The Zhang family was filled with joy.
Wang Lanping took a good look at her second son, feeling happy but also a little regretful. She can now see that her second son's abilities are probably beyond the reach of ordinary people. No one can interfere with him in finding a wife to get married to. Fortunately, the eldest couple of the Zhang family are now doing well. After having Zhang Zhiyun, she is now pregnant again. Wang Qin has been pregnant for more than seven months. This time the doctor came to tell her that she was pregnant with a daughter. The Zhang family will be even more lively by then.
After thinking about it, Wang Lanping stopped talking about Zhang Yan's marriage. There was just one thing that she had some complaints about.
"Yan'er, Zhiyun, you said you don't have talent, so I can't learn your skills. My sister-in-law will give birth to a second child in three months, and you have a niece. You have to give me a good look. If you have talent, You can’t be vague!”
This is what Wang Lanping is thinking about. The ability of her second son was not passed on to the next generation of the Zhang family, which made her feel panicked that her wealth was leaking out.
"Mom, don't worry, I will watch carefully. If she has talent, I will definitely give her all my skills." Zhang Yan said so. But I know in my heart, how can it be so easy to have the talent for cultivating Taoism? There are mostly comforting elements. However, although Zhang Zhiyun cannot take the road of Taoism, he still has a chance as a martial artist. I had Xiao Shu from the Jiangwu Academy come over and see that Zhang Zhiyun can still be a martial artist. In two years, he can be sent to the Jiangwu Academy to fight. Basic.
When Zhang Yan comes back, the Zhang family will naturally prepare a large table of food. But we haven’t waited for dinner yet. He Xianghong came in and informed that Shen Wujiu was outside asking to see Zhang Yan because he had something urgent to do.
