After a three-hour drive, Hao Ren arrived at a small town in Zhejiang. With the help of the GPS and directions, he arrived at a small village that was half an hour away from the town.
With red bricks and white walls, it was a very backward village compared to East Ocean City.
The car drove through all kinds of narrow roads and raced with tractors that were emitting black smoke. Fortunately, Hao Ren's driving skills were good, and the car didn't overturn into the field on the side of the road.
While driving, he asked the people in the village and finally found a small house. Hearing the sound of the car, the whole family came out to welcome them.
Standing in the front was Grandma's friend when she was young. When she saw Grandma, she walked up excitedly.
"Little Five!" Grandma also walked out of the car excitedly and hugged her.
"Little Yezi!" The old grandma with wrinkles also hugged Hao Ren's grandma excitedly.
They hugged and hugged each other happily and excitedly. Hao Ren parked the car in the yard and came out to greet her, "Grandma."
"Wow, your grandson is so big!" The old grandma looked at Hao Ren and said happily.
Hao Ren nodded and smiled shyly.
This old grandma was Grandma's best friend when she was young. Later, Grandma got married, and Grandma had never seen her again. Now that they reunited after decades, how could the two old people not be excited?
Hao Ren planned to go back after sending Grandma here. However, he was not in a good mood these days, so he wanted to stay in this place far away from the city for two days.
The old grandma smiled and welcomed Grandma and Hao Ren into the house. They ate simple food, and Hao Ren ate a bowl of it.
Knowing that Hao Ren would also stay here for two days, the old grandma quickly cleaned up a room. The so-called guest room was a small house made of bricks and tiles in the yard. There was a wooden bed with a quilt. That was all.
To wash one's face and brush one's teeth, one had to go to the sink in the yard. To go to the toilet, one had to go out of the yard to the latrine pit outside.
However, the simpler the facilities were, the more Grandma liked it. She used to live in an old house like this. It was comfortable and reassuring. Compared to the buildings in the city and the villa by the sea, she missed the old houses in the countryside more.
It was the first time for the old grandma's kids to see Hao Ren, and they all looked at him curiously. Some of the naughty ones even came over to tease him.
Looking at them reminded Hao Ren of his childhood, when he was also as naughty and fearless as they were when he was young.
Because the younger generation all worked in the nearby towns, there were only two wives, a few children, and an old woman living here before the weekend.
This was a very simple family. Although they did not have a high standard of living, they were very sincere to others. Grandma lived here for a month and reminisced with her old friends every day. It must be very relaxing and comfortable.
At night, the old granny caught the children and gave them a bath in the yard. The children were naked and stood in the big basin, jumping here and there.
Hao Ren's grandma couldn't stop smiling when she saw the naughty kids. She loved children the most.
Since there was no shower, Hao Ren had to take a basin and wipe his body with water and a towel in his shabby little house.
Without the hustle and bustle of the city, Hao Ren didn't have the restlessness of human beings. It was the perfect place for Hao Ren to release his emotions.
The next day, Hao Ren went to the nearby mountains alone after having the simplest salted vegetable rice.
The air here was several times fresher than that in the suburbs of East Ocean City. Hao Ren walked to a random hill and sat cross-legged on a grassy field.
The dragon core in his body began to spin slowly, absorbing the relatively rich nature essence in this place. The 108 acupoints in his body absorbed the essence one by one and stored it in the dragon core bit by bit.
Without any distractions, obsessions, or resentment, Hao Ren sensed the nature in silence. The five-elemental essences, which were only 0.35, seemed to be growing slowly.
Spring had just passed, and summer was about to begin. The wildflowers in the mountains were in full bloom, and the wind was blowing, stirring up a sea of flowers. Perhaps the locals were used to this scene, but for Hao Ren, this was an excellent place for cultivation!
Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, and Three begets all things. All living things bear Yin and embrace Yang, and the Qi is harmonious. The Way of Heaven was to take away surpluses and replenish deficiencies. The way of man was to destroy what was not enough to serve what was more …
While condensing his five-elemental nature essence, Hao Ren sensed the nature in the pure nature.
Feeling that the sun had risen above his head, Hao Ren stood up and walked down the mountain feeling refreshed.
The old grandma was about to have lunch. When they saw Hao Ren, they thought that he was just walking around the village. They didn't know that Hao Ren had been meditating on the mountain for more than five hours!
Seeing that the kids in the yard refused to eat and were playing with each other, Hao Ren, who had just finished his cultivation, suddenly understood something.
To cultivate the Heavenly Dao, one must first cultivate the Human Dao!
Zhao Yanzi's East Ocean Clan was cultivating the Dao of Humans by mingling with the crowd! The Heavenly Dao is ethereal, but the Human Dao is real!
How could a heartless and loveless person comprehend the mysteries of heaven!
"Grandma, I'm done!" Hao Ren put down his chopsticks and quickly walked out of the yard.
"This kid … How can he eat so fast …" Grandma felt a little helpless.
Hao Ren grasped this bit of enlightenment and immediately went up the mountain. The mountains here weren't tall, and there weren't any dense forests. The undulating mountains faced the sun and formed a perfect contrast between Yin and Yang!
Hao Ren chose a spot to sit down and felt this bit of enlightenment merge into his body, and the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll began to circulate rapidly!
"Metal, 6!" A white sword energy shot out from his right little finger.
"Water, 7!" A blue light shot out from his left index finger.
"Wood, 10!" A streak of cyan Sword Qi shot out from the middle finger of his right hand, leaving a shallow mark on the grass!
There were five elements in the sky – water, fire, metal, wood, and earth. They were nurtured at different times to form all things!
Hao Ren suddenly realized that what Su Han taught him last time was the way to practice the five-elemental cultivation technique! Switching between the five elements and retracting them at will was the five-elemental cultivation technique!
Green, blue, red, yellow, and white sword energies shot out from his fingers one after another. They were weak and thin, but they were as beautiful as fireworks!
Five-elemental sword energies!
As he continued to practice the sword techniques of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, the five elements in Hao Ren's body became active, and the stable five-elemental array formation began to spin around the Dragon Core in the center!
When one part was removed, another part would replace it, and this movement was a cycle!
Wood generated fire, fire generated earth, earth generated metal, metal generated water, water generated wood! The five elements generated each other!
Hao Ren felt weak all over. He heaved a sigh of relief and lay back on the grass. He used the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll once, and his entire body was emptied.
The so-called cultivation was to break through the limits and then rebuild. Hao Ren gradually replenished the five elements in his body, and he felt that the Cultivation Points in his body had slightly broken through the previous bottleneck. Compared with the Cultivation Points of 1 when he had completed the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll, his Cultivation Points had almost reached 0.7!
Lowering his cultivation strength and using the cultivation technique of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to increase his cultivation realm, he finally achieved results!
If the masters who broke through from Kun-level to Qian-level were cultivating in seclusion, Hao Ren cultivating in the wilderness was also cultivating in seclusion!
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Hao Ren walked out of the mountains and returned to Grandma's home to rest.
Grandma hadn't seen Hao Ren for almost a day, and she thought that he had gone out for a walk. Seeing his relaxed expression, she was finally relieved. "It seems like the knot in Hao Ren's heart has been untied."
After dinner, Hao Ren went back to his room and continued to cultivate. He came here with Grandma and didn't want Zhao Yanzi to come with him because he wanted to achieve a breakthrough in these two days!
He had been cultivating very hard recently, but there were still too many things to do. If he could cultivate like this every day, he believed that he would be able to break through to Kan-level faster!
Su Han pushed away all the unnecessary things and cultivated in the city. She understood the Heavenly Dao and the Human Dao, and that was how she broke through to mid-tier Qian-level step by step!
Hao Ren didn't sleep for the whole night. He cultivated the Spirit Concentration Scroll and the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll in turns. He didn't want to give up even if it was only 0.1 or 0.2!
Before he came here, he had a knot in his heart. On one hand, it was because of Zhao Yanzi, and on the other hand, it was because of Xie Yujia. But now, he was immersed in cultivation, and nothing could disturb his state of mind!
The roosters in the village began to crow, and the grey dawn rose from the darkness.
Hao Ren drank a bowl of congee and felt refreshed. Then, he went to the mountains again.
The simplicity and nature of this place gave him a different feeling.
As the sun rose into the sky from the east, Hao Ren cultivated from morning to noon. His cultivation strength seemed to have reached 0.9, and he was getting more and more familiar with the sword energies released by the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
However, the closer he got to Kan-level, the slower his progress became. It seemed like there was a barrier in his heart.
There was still half a day left before he could go back, but he couldn't break through to Kan-level.
Hao Ren had gradually mastered the small techniques of the first level of the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, which included elemental transformation, elemental absorption, sword energy release, and the hundun sword shape that could be placed in his palm.
Cultivation techniques could increase his cultivation strength, but the increase of cultivation realm was also a process of qualitative change. If he couldn't understand it, the Dragon Core wouldn't be enlightened, and the skillful techniques would be useless no matter how well he practiced them.
"Just one step! Just one step!"
Hao Ren could feel that he was very close to Kan-level, and his cultivation strength had recovered to the state when he broke through to the third level of the Spirit Concentration Scroll. Compared to the time when he could only strengthen the water element to break through to Kan-level, the five elements were now balanced, and the five elements could break through at the same time. It was a perfect state.
"Gongzi Hao!" Premier Xia, who was wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt, suddenly appeared.
"Why are you here?" Hao Ren was a bit surprised.
"Here are two immortal pills. The Dragon King asked me to bring them to you." Premier Xia presented a small box with both hands and smiled. "It's not easy to break through to Kan-level. The Dragon King just wanted to test you."
"I don't need it for now. You can leave it here." Hao Ren pointed to the side.
Premier Xia froze for a second, but he still did as he was told. Hao Ren took a deep breath and sat down again, continuing to cultivate to break through the bottleneck.
He always remembered Su Han's words. The realm that was built up with elixir pills was not stable after all. "I don't want to eat them if I can."
"The Fuma is really serious; he still has to work hard in the last half of the day." Premier Xia thought to himself as he stood beside Hao Ren and basked in the sun.
"Since ancient times, it has been easy to wake up from a good dream. It's hard to extricate oneself from a flower, but the flying catkins are too scattered. "
A five-colored godly light flashed across the sky, and a rice-grain-sized light spot fell from the sky. It was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
Hao Ren felt a burning sensation on his forehead. Suddenly, the inscription on the monument that he had read on the Daoist temple in GreenStone Mountain rushed out of his memory. He had already understood most of the inscription, but the ancient characters suddenly combined and became more profound.
