Chapter 177 You're still a long way from ascension!
"Of course I want to! My previous life was so much more exciting. Transportation was so advanced. I could go wherever I wanted by plane, high-speed rail, or car. Here, I can't even play video games."
"So what if the price is the destruction of this world? You've mistakenly entered this virtual world. If you forcibly leave, you can only destroy this world. The people here will suffer a cataclysmic disaster like the beginning of creation, with landslides, floods, and rampant lava flows..."
"Then no need! I'm not going back, not at all! I'm fine here, I'll just live out my natural life here until I die!"
Tong Yuheng rejected this way of returning without the slightest hesitation. Even though she knew this was not the real world, she would not destroy it for her own obsession!
The people living around her were all flesh and blood, with genuine and complex emotions, and their own rich and colorful lives. They persevered in their efforts for a better tomorrow, and who can say that this isn't real?
"Hehehe, what an interesting child. I hope you will make good use of these two spaces, inherit the cultivation methods, and do more good deeds for this world. I have also left behind many health-preserving prescriptions and cultivation techniques; choose the ones that suit you."
I've reset the rules of this secret realm to better protect you. Only you can enter; no one else can enter while conscious. Once your abilities reach a certain level, you can modify the rules yourself. As for your original planting space, it's still yours. You're now considered a successor of my sect, so you can cultivate your Dao here. Work hard!
"Venerable One, are you leaving this place? But how do I use this space? Is there an instruction manual or something? Also, what is the name of your sect?" Tong Yuheng felt that this soul was even less reliable than the previous owner of the space!
"There is a 'Qionghua Palace' here. Go inside and explore it yourself. I don't have time to slowly guide you here. I'm going back to my original form!" Qionghua Yuanjun's voice became ethereal and there was no response.
Tong Yuheng: She...she's leaving already? She didn't even mention any other requests or anything? And which direction is Qionghua Palace in? How am I supposed to find such a big place?
Tong Yuheng only had a vague understanding of the ancient martial arts world, let alone the mysterious cultivation world. She prepared to read the information left by Qionghua Yuanjun in her mind, but her head was so painful that it felt like it was going to explode, so she had to give up.
She has absolutely no idea how to use this space, because she senses that this secret realm is extremely dangerous, and she dares not venture out to explore it rashly.
Forget it, if I don't understand it, I won't study it for now. I can read the cultivation technique I just obtained, so I'll practice it here first!
Perhaps it was because of the abundant spiritual energy in this secret realm, or perhaps it was because of her excellent physical aptitude, or perhaps it was because she had cultivated internal energy and knew how to circulate it. In any case, not long after, she felt red and green light spots flying into her body's meridians!
She focused her mind on these points of light, guiding them like tadpoles in a stream, swimming in the direction required by the technique, until they settled in her lower abdomen, the dantian.
A wave of refreshing sensation spread throughout her body, and a feeling of joy and elation rose within her! Was this the so-called feeling of ascension in cultivation? It was truly amazing!
Qionghua Yuanjun: Silly child, you have only successfully guided Qi into your body and can begin cultivation. You are still a long way from ascension!
Tong Yuheng felt the joy of cultivation, so he absorbed the red and green light points into his body in one go, guiding them through each cycle of circulation, and finally storing them in his dantian.
She didn't emerge from the space until dawn, feeling so hungry she could eat a whole cow!
She took the opportunity to go out to wash up and then entered the original planting space again, where she had stockpiled various living supplies. She tidied herself up and then prepared and ate breakfast. Now she had two spaces; she called the new one "Qionghua Secret Realm" and the original one "Planting Space".
After she demonstrated the ancient martial arts technique once, she suddenly noticed the difference!
Originally, her internal energy was at the intermediate level of a martial arts master, but now it has actually dropped to the beginner level! Has her strength decreased? However, she feels more powerful, her internal energy is more refined, and her speed and explosive power should be stronger than before!
Could it be because I've been practicing cultivation techniques? But is this a good thing or a bad thing? Ugh, this is so frustrating. Without a master to guide me, I'm like a headless fly, stumbling around aimlessly. I really hope I don't end up suffering a qi deviation!
She decided to proceed cautiously with a dual approach, practicing two different systems of martial arts separately each day without mixing them, while outwardly maintaining that she primarily used ancient martial arts techniques.
Tong Yuheng swallowed a Qi-Nourishing Pill and continued cultivating ancient martial arts in the planting space. He clearly felt that the speed of circulating his cultivation technique was faster, and the absorption of the medicinal power was also accelerated.
After looking at the other items in the curio cabinet, she picked up the sandalwood statue and examined it closely. The statue's face was serene, its Taoist robe fluttering, and the goddess holding a whisk was elegant, exuding a peaceful and sacred aura.
Could this statue be the statue of Qionghua Yuanjun? Upon closer inspection, the ancient characters for "Qionghua" were indeed found in the pattern on the back of the Taoist robe.
Tong Yuheng placed it on the table and respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony. From then on, he could call himself a successor of the "Hua Ling Sect". Should he adopt a Taoist name?
"Should I be called Yunxia or Zixia? Or Yunling or Xuanling? Or Miaozhen or Miaochang...?" After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't find a suitable Taoist name, so I simply gave up!
She quickly focused her attention on training ancient martial arts warriors, constantly revising and improving the plan, which was her most important task at the moment.
Let's put the exploration of this "Qionghua Secret Realm" aside for now. It seems like it would be good to cultivate there, as it could improve the speed of ancient martial arts training. Unfortunately, we still know too little about it at the moment. We'll study it slowly later.
Tong Yuheng arrived home on a Saturday. She got off the bus and went straight to her father, ate in his canteen, reported on the events of the past few days, and told him that she was going to the military base by the sea for closed training next month.
At that time, students only had Sundays off each week, and she planned to go home from school with her father and three younger sisters. Five people on two bicycles was a bit cramped. Liu Fengyi suggested that he take the bus home later and let the four sisters ride their bikes home.
When they arrived home, Yuyao, Xiaoliu, and Xiaoqi were also back. Grandpa was grinding medicinal powder in the living room of the east room. He usually went back to his daughter's house around four o'clock in the afternoon, either to make medicine or to prepare dinner. If the villagers needed anything, they would come here to call her. The two places were very close, so it didn't interfere with anything.
