After a few more days, Ye Xing's cultivation had reached the peak of the fifth level even before he finished absorbing the third Saint Spiritual Pill.
Ye Xing could feel the barrier of the sixth level of the Celestial Vortex Realm. Once he broke through the barrier, he would be able to advance to a Six-star Martial Saint!
With Ye Xing's martial attainment and talent, his strength would increase tremendously every time he broke through.
As long as he became a Six-star Martial Saint and entered the Qingyun Ancient Land, Ye Xing would not be afraid of anyone. Even if he encountered the Yin Yang Young Master, he would be able to fight or even kill him.
Ye Xing's Falling Star Art had reached the sixth level. His True Origin Energy was extremely dense and could be compared to a Seven-star Martial Saint. He had a great advantage in breaking through the barrier of the sixth level of the Celestial Vortex Realm.
However, after a few days, the barrier of the sixth level of the Celestial Vortex Realm did not budge under the impact of Ye Xing's Star Essence. Ye Xing's efforts were in vain.
This puzzled Ye Xing. He was now a Nine-Star Orange Fate. It was not a big breakthrough from the Celestial Vortex Realm to the Astral Realm. There should not be a bottleneck.
With the belief that he would be able to break through the barrier and become a Six-star Martial Saint, Ye Xing spent the rest of his time on trying to break through the barrier of the sixth level of the Celestial Vortex Realm.
Day after day, after ten days, Ye Xing's attainment in the Copper Wall Formation had reached the Minor Completion Realm.
However, his cultivation was still unable to break through.
More than twenty days had passed and the Qingyun Ancient Land was about to open in a few days. Ye Xing saw that his cultivation was still unable to break through and started to panic.
On this day, after Ye Xing finished learning about array formations at Lin Fenghua's place, he asked Lin Fenghua for guidance, "Master, my cultivation has been at the peak of the fifth level for more than half a month, but I can't break through to the sixth level no matter what.
Not only was Lin Fenghua a Grade 3 Array Master, but he was also a Daoist in the Astral Realm. He also had extremely high attainments in martial arts.
Lin Fenghua glanced at Ye Xing and said: "Your cultivation is increasing very quickly, but your Heaven's Will isn't high. It's normal for you to encounter a bottleneck without the help of treasures."
Ye Xing knew very well that it had nothing to do with the heavens if he couldn't make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Ye Xing said, "What if it's not fate? Could there be other factors involved? "
Lin Fenghua pondered for a moment before nodding. "Cultivation isn't just about cultivating one's martial arts, it's also about cultivating one's mind. Your cultivation is rising too quickly, and if your state of mind isn't able to keep up, it's normal for you to encounter bottlenecks. If your state of mind isn't able to keep up, you might even end up developing inner demons. In the worst-case scenario, your cultivation might even go berserk, crippling your cultivation, and leaving your life hanging by a thread!"
Ye Xing pondered for a moment. His state of mind shouldn't be unable to keep up. He felt that his heart was firm and unwavering. He could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Ye Xing muttered to himself: "I feel that my state of mind is very good!"
Lin Fenghua smiled faintly and said: "That's your own opinion. If your state of mind isn't able to keep up, it's not just because your state of mind isn't strong enough. A person with a strong state of mind might also encounter obstacles in their state of mind. Furthermore, the chances of them going berserk are even higher than those with a weak state of mind."
Ye Xing's heart skipped a beat. With a solemn expression, he said: "Master, please give me some pointers!"
Lin Fenghua said, "People with a strong state of mind may be too determined and too persistent. You have to know that hardness cannot last long and softness cannot be defended. If you keep straining the string in your heart, you may be able to break through without any hindrance at the beginning. But because you are too persistent, once the persistence in your heart reaches a critical point and you can't relax, you may reach a bottleneck and not be able to make any progress. At this time, the more anxious you are, the harder you work, the more stagnant you will be. More haste, less speed. This is the principle. I see that you are very persistent. Sometimes you need to relax. Combining hardness and softness is the way to a long time."
Stubbornness? Inner demons?
When Ye Xing heard Lin Fenghua's words, he suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment and was suddenly enlightened.
He understood. Since his cultivation bottleneck wasn't due to the heavenly mandate, then it must have appeared in his state of mind.
Because his cultivation had been smooth sailing and he had broken through again and again, his heart had been tense and had never relaxed for a moment. Therefore, a problem had occurred when he was breaking through to the Six-star Martial Saint Realm.
At this time, he should relax and rest. However, he had blindly pursued breakthroughs and kept sprinting, causing him to be unable to break through the bottleneck. His cultivation had been stuck at this point.
If he continued sprinting with all his strength, not to mention this month, he might not be able to break through the bottleneck next month, or even the month after that.
Lin Fenghua continued: "Look at your Martial Uncle Gu Tianshang. He is too stubborn. Moreover, because of decades of stubbornness, he has already formed an inner demon. Now that the inner demon has been born, even if he stops and relaxes his mind, it will be useless. As long as he continues to persevere, there might be a chance to break through the inner demon, achieve enlightenment, and become a third-grade array master. However, this chance is very small!"
Ye Xing nodded repeatedly. He could see that Gu Tianshang was too stubborn. It turned out that he had unknowingly embarked on the same path as Gu Tianshang.
If it were not for Lin Fenghua's guidance, Ye Xing would not have realized his own problem. This was the so-called "the onlooker sees the game more clearly than the player involved".
Realizing his own problem, of course, he had to find a way to solve it. Ye Xing said:
"Master, I have realized that I have been too stubborn. Since I started cultivating and entered the Falling Star Sect, I have been thinking of ways to improve my cultivation and strength. I have not slacked off for even a moment. These days, I want to relax. Whether it is martial arts or arrays, I will not think about them for the time being.
There are still a few days before the Qingyun Ancient Land opens. I plan to take this opportunity to go back to Zishan Prefecture. First, I want to see Master Zishan Hou. Second, I have not been back for more than a year since I left the family. I want to go back and have a look! "
Lin Fenghua nodded and said: "Sometimes, some concerns in the heart will affect the purity of the state of mind and have an impact on the breakthrough of cultivation. Especially when the state of mind is stubborn, the impact is particularly obvious. It is good to go back to the family and have a look!"
…
On the same day, Ye Xing rode Old Black back to Zishan Prefecture and saw Zishan Hou.
Zishan Hou's posture was still tall and straight, and his aura was still majestic.
However, the white hair on his temples gave him a sense of vicissitudes.
Ye Xing had seen this sense of vicissitudes on Zishan Hou before, but later, because of him, this sense of vicissitudes disappeared and was replaced by a high-spirited spirit.
Today, the sense of vicissitudes reappeared. Obviously, it was related to the news of Ye Xing's death in the Falling Star Secret Land.
Although Ye Xing came out of the Falling Star Secret Land and proved that the news of his death was false, Zishan Hou's hope had been shattered for several months. The blow he received was not easy to recover from.
After not seeing Zishan Hou for more than half a year, Ye Xing's heart tightened when he saw the vicissitudes of life on Zishan Hou. There was an indescribable feeling.
He felt that he had been too obsessed with cultivation. After coming out of the Falling Star Secret Land, he should have gone back to Zishan Prefecture and personally reported his safety to Master Zishan Hou.
In the back hall of Zishan Hou's residence, Ye Xing and Zishan Hou sat opposite each other, reporting his experience in the Falling Star Secret Land to Zishan Hou.
Other than the gains in the Starry Hall, Ye Xing kept the same as what he had said in the Falling Star Sect. He told Zishan Hou everything he had experienced in the Falling Star Secret Land, including the killing of Hua Tianshu's disciple, He Hongjiao.
Hearing Ye Xing's story, the smile on Zishan Hou's face gradually became brighter. Ye Xing felt that the vicissitudes of life on Master's body gradually receded, and that high-spirited spirit returned.
"Good! Good, good …! "
After listening to Ye Xing's story, Zishan Hou repeatedly said good, and his voice was filled with emotion. "Ye Xing, your experience and growth have indeed greatly exceeded my expectations. How long has it been? In the blink of an eye, you have already surpassed me.
Fifteen years ago, when I entered the Azure Cloud Ancient Land, I was twenty-four years old, and my cultivation was at the late stage of the Seventh Star Vortex Realm. Although your cultivation is not as good as mine, your strength has already surpassed mine. Moreover, you are only seventeen years old now. I really don't know what kind of achievements you will have in the future. For a monstrous genius like you, fate can't restrict you at all! "
