Disciple, Don’t Cause Trouble, Master Won’t Leave the Mountain!-Chapter 145: The Way to Break Through

Chapter 145: The Way to Break Through

“What is this?”

“Red gold ointment. Once we arrive in the northern region, I think the temperature will continue to drop. With this, it can help you maintain your body temperature.”

Qin Xiaoxi nodded when she heard this and took the small cloth bag that Jiang Yun handed to her.

“We’re moving relatively fast. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to return to Thunder City in less than two weeks. By then, we would be able to save your sister’s life.” Jiang Yun looked at the sea in the distance.

“Thank you…”

Qin Xiaoxi didn’t know what to say for a moment.

If it weren’t for Jiang Yun, she would have died on the way here.

“Why are you thanking me? You helped me a lot while traveling with me.”Jiang Yun smiled.

“I have a question.”Qin Xiaoxi suddenly asked curiously.

“I am very curious about what realm your spiritual power is at.”

Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but feel extremely curious since Jiang Yun could easily resist a tsunami and even rely on his spiritual power to steer the ship for a long time.

“Why are you suddenly asking this?”

“I’m just curious,” Qin Xiaoxi explained.

Jiang Yun smiled, then turned around and looked at Qin Xiaoxi.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s nothing. My realm… is almost the same as yours. I’m a little higher than you.” Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi meaningfully.

“What a strange look…”

Qin Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at Jiang Yun.

A little higher than me? Could he be at a Spirit King realm?

That didn’t make sense. The power that Jiang Yun displayed in the past few days was so much higher than a Spirit King realm. He should at least be at a Spirit Emperor realm.

“At your level, you must be higher than most people in Thunder City.” Jiang Yun nodded.

Qin Xiaoxi was a little surprised. Did Jiang Yun already detect what realm she was in? It had only been a month since Qin Xiaoxi reached the Spirit Lord realm.

Of course, although most people in the Sakura sect thought that Qin Xiaoxi was talented, intelligent, had amazing bone structure, and could learn extremely fast, ever since she reached the Spirit Master realm, her improvement became slower and slower. It took almost half a year for her to advance from the Spirit Master realm to the Spirit Lord realm.

“What are you thinking about?” Seeing Qin Xiaoxi in a daze, Jiang Yun quickly asked.

Jiang Yun’s question pulled Qin Xiaoxi back from her thoughts.

“Nothing, even though what you said is true, I can’t just remain at the Spirit King realm.” Qin Xiaoxi sighed and leaned against the guardrail on the deck with Jiang Yun. Qin Xiaoxi looked at the horizon in the distance and continued, “But… ever since I reached the Spirit Realm, I can feel that my advancement is getting slower and slower.”

“There are many ways to advance in the Spirit Realm, and the most important way is to make a breakthrough on your own. Monotonous training and killing monsters will not help you improve. Only by calming your heart would you be able to feel the power of that next realm.”

Jiang Yun spoke in a sincere tone, changing from his usual playful manner.

His change was too fast. However, this was probably one of the reasons why he was able to become the sect master. She didn’t expect him to be so serious when he was supposed to be serious.

“So this is the advice from a Spirit Emperor?”

“You are quite smart. You can even roughly guess my level.” Jiang Yun pretended to be very surprised even though he was not actually surprised that Qin Xiaoxi could see it.

Qin Xiaoxi could become a Spirit Lord powerhouse in just three years was something that very few cultivators on this continent could achieve. It was not an exaggeration to say that Qin Xiaoxi was almost on par with his younger self.

“Actually, your power is not capped at the Spirit Lord realm. You can advance to the Spirit King realm,” said Jiang Yun.

Qin Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yun curiously.

“I know you want to say that you just reached the Spirit Lord realm, but I can tell you that you have much more room to advance.” Jiang Yun was very firm in his opinion. He could feel it, if Qin Xiaoxi’s path of cultivation was smooth sailing all the way, she would be able to reach the same realm as Jiang Yun.

“Are you…serious?”

“Of course I’m serious. You’re just focusing on the wrong thing.”

“But I don’t feel any signals that indicate that I can continue to advance.” Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but sigh.

“You’re wrong. What realm you’re at isn’t important. What’s important is your familiarity with and control over the spiritual power in your body. What truly matters is whether you can control the growing power in your body. The realms are divided by people, but it’s only true power if you can use the power in your body with ease. You are too anxious now, always wanting to strive for a stronger realm will blind your eyes.”

Jiang Yun patiently explained to Qin Xiaoxi.

Qin Xiaoxi naturally understood a little.

“But I heard that in addition to self-breakthrough, there are other methods such as using objects to make a breakthrough. For example, a precious gem or something like that.”

Jiang Yun agreed after listening to her.

What Qin Xiaoxi said was true.

“Such a method does exist. By using the power of certain treasures to cultivate, one can advance greatly and achieve breakthroughs. Most people in the He family use this method to forcefully advance in the realms. However, this method also has a huge drawback.”

“Drawback? ? What is the drawback? ?”

“When forcing a breakthrough using objects, if the cultivator doesn’t already have strong psychological qualities and strength, it can cause you to go mad. Of course, it’s not a big deal if you cannot breakthrough, but it can be serious if the cultivator suffers a backlash.”

“Also… cough cough…” Jiang Yun coughed lightly.

“Also, the breakthrough that was achieved using external objects can cause great harm to your body because your body isn’t used to feeling that level of power. Some people may not adapt to the spiritual power brought on by the new realm and, hence, may not be able to continue cultivating in the future.”

“That’s tragic…” Qin Xiaoxi could not help but sigh.

“The reason why He Cangming that old fart was killed by Yu Sisi was because he was close to advancing to the Spiritual King realm but he used external objects to force his cultivation.”
