Chapter 30 Why Does It Suddenly Feel a Little Cold?
Liu's mother didn't originally have the surname Liu. She changed it after marrying Liu's father because of some family reasons.
However, that's not important right now. What's important is that Liu Qiqi can sense the violent killing intent emanating from her mother.
The last time I experienced this feeling with my mother... was when she was a naughty child and broke the bracelet that my grandmother had left to my mother.
Therefore, in order to prevent her enraged mother from harming Chu Xiao, Liu Qiqi went all out.
She rushed over and hugged her mother, clinging to her like an octopus.
"Mom, calm down, calm down. Getting angry is bad for your health."
Although Liu Qiqi also felt that Chu Xiao's game was too difficult and made people feel very uncomfortable.
But Liu Qiqi was reluctant to let her mother use a bamboo stick to discipline Chu Xiao.
After much persuasion from her daughter, Liu's mother gradually calmed down.
"Sigh." Mother Liu threw the bamboo stick in her hand on the ground, rubbed her forehead and slumped onto the sofa. "You know, this child was so well-behaved and cheerful when he was little."
"Why are the games I make so...so weird now that I'm all grown up?"
"Mother Liu said with a sigh."
"..." Liu Qiqi fell silent.
In her view, Chu Xiao's drastic change in temperament was related to the death of his parents.
However, she had not told Liu's parents about this yet, so they were unaware of it.
"Haha, maybe it's because..." Liu Qiqi thought for a moment, "He's a rather wicked person, he just likes to see other people blush."
Liu Qiqi made up an excuse, but she herself didn't really believe it.
Who would go to the trouble of making a game that tortures players?
However, in reality, the excuse that Liu Qiqi made up was not much different from Chu Xiao's purpose in making the game.
—He really does just want to torture the players.
However, without knowing the existence of the Myriad Souls Banner, how could anyone else possibly guess Chu Xiao's true purpose?
Mother Liu didn't really believe this reason, but after her anger subsided, she was too embarrassed to actually lower herself to go and demand justice from Chu Xiao.
No matter what, she is still an elder, yet she gets so caught up in playing games that she puts pressure on the younger generation...
Thinking about it calmly, it's still a bit too embarrassing.
So the mother and daughter looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Once you understand the reasoning behind it, the best way to handle this matter is to act as if nothing happened.
"Sigh." Mother Liu sighed again.
When faced with something like this, what else can you do but swallow your pride and bear it?
……
"Hiss... Why do I suddenly feel a bit cold?" Chu Xiao, who was practicing his martial arts in the sect's training ground, shivered.
One day has passed since the release of the game "Persist to the End?"
During this time, he finished recording the incredibly difficult and amazing maneuvers in "Persist to the End?", and was just waiting to find a time to upload it to the platform.
After recording the video, he rested for a few hours.
After waking up, I planned to go into seclusion and finish making the third game.
but……
Before creating the game, Chu Xiao consumed some of the souls in the Myriad Souls Banner, and then felt some changes in his body.
To put it simply...
He encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation.
That's right, thanks to the souls provided by the games "Hold On to the End?" and "Alice in Wonderland".
Chu Xiao has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
As he felt the changes within his body, he realized that two paths lay before him.
The first path involves directly consuming ten thousand souls to break through the bottleneck in one go and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This path is undoubtedly the most stable and the most popular way for cultivators to break through.
The second path is a bit more complicated.
According to the records on the incomplete ancient scrolls, the ninth level of Qi Refining is not actually the limit of the Qi Refining stage.
The true limit of the Qi Refining stage should be the tenth level.
It is said that the Dao Ancestor in ancient times once cultivated to the tenth level of Qi Refining.
only……
The records on how to break through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the tenth level have been lost due to the passage of time.
Therefore, the tenth level of Qi Refining became a legendary realm.
Modern cultivators, no matter how monstrous their talent, are all firmly restricted to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
They tried everything but failed to make any further progress, and were eventually forced to give up and choose to enter the Foundation Establishment stage.
At this moment, the second path Chu Xiao faces is this path leading to the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage.
This path is not easy, because there is no one left to guide him.
In other words, if you decide to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining, you will need to figure out your own cultivation path from then on.
Because after reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining, the structure of a cultivator's body will be altered, which may even affect future Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and even further cultivation.
This path undoubtedly has both advantages and disadvantages. Apart from Chu Xiao, any other cultivator would be caught in a dilemma.
But, as I just mentioned, that applies to everyone except Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao, who possessed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, never had this problem from the beginning.
Should we play it safe and build the foundation directly, or choose the tenth level of Qi Refining, which carries both risks and opportunities...?
Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.
Reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining grants more spiritual power, a stronger physique, and a higher potential, but the price is that future cultivation will become much more difficult...
For Chu Xiao, only one sentence could express his opinion on this matter.
"Now that we've discussed the advantages, what are the disadvantages?"
Is cultivation becoming more difficult? Does it matter?
No matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than directly increasing cultivation level with the Myriad Soul Banner?
Cultivating the Myriad Soul Banner is extremely difficult; each time, it requires a thought and the consumption of one's soul to improve one's cultivation level.
How could Chu Xiao, who could persevere through such difficulties, possibly worry that his cultivation would become more difficult in the future?
Basically, just point to the part you don't understand and you're done.
As long as you have enough soul, none of these things matter.
Therefore, Chu Xiao did not hesitate to consume 10,000 souls to advance to the tenth level of Qi Refining.
When he broke through to the tenth level, he clearly felt that his body had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Since the souls within the Myriad Soul Banner can only be used to increase cultivation, Chu Xiao needs to personally comprehend what this change means.
That's why he went to the deserted training ground to practice his skills and experience the wonderful changes brought about by the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"I see, I'm gradually understanding everything."
After circulating the techniques he had mastered, Chu Xiao felt a sense of enlightenment.
The difference between the tenth and ninth levels of Qi Refining is like heaven and earth.
If we were to describe it in the language of games, it would be...
Refining Qi to the tenth level is equivalent to giving Chu Xiao an extra mana bar, allowing him to store more spiritual power within his body. Moreover, this spiritual power and the original spiritual power can be consumed and replenished simultaneously.
