Chapter 156 Breaking Through the Pill Formation

But he knew that this was a necessary step in the process of cultivation and a critical moment to break through the limit of cultivation. He understood that only by going through such pain and suffering could one truly be reborn and reach a higher realm.

He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain brought by each energy impact. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, but his eyes were as firm as ever. With his firm will and tenacious perseverance, he survived these tests again and again.

Every impact of energy was like a test of his will. He felt as if he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss. But he did not retreat, but guided the energy to flow through his meridians more firmly.

As time went by, the energy in the elixir gradually receded like the tide, and was absorbed meticulously by Lu Xiuyuan. In his dantian, which was originally as calm as water, it was like a pool of majestic lake water. The power flowed in his meridians like a surging river, surging and surging, as if to completely break through the restraints of his body.

Lu Xiuyuan felt the power surge in his body, and he knew that this was the critical moment to break through. He took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the air around him into his body to strengthen his willpower. His mind was completely immersed in Dantian, closely connected with the majestic power, guiding it to attack a higher realm.

This process seemed like a long and arduous battle. Every impact was like a huge wave hitting his body, bringing unspeakable pain. His meridians seemed to be torn apart by this force, and his bones seemed to be broken. The pain surged like a tide, almost drowning him.

However, Lu Xiuyuan did not flinch. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain brought by each impact, and with his firm will and tenacity, he stood up again and again. He firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to break through this barrier and usher in a real transformation.

In this process, his mind seemed to be baptized by this power, becoming more resilient and pure. He felt the connection between himself and the world, as if he had merged with the universe, and sensed a higher level of power and truth.

Finally, after a fierce impact, Lu Xiuyuan felt as if his body was gently lifted up by a powerful force, pushing him to a whole new height. He slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the scenes around him became clear and bright. He knew that he had successfully entered the early stage of Dan Jie!

He felt the powerful force in his body surging continuously, as if thousands of streams converged into a sea, rushing endlessly. This force was so strong that he almost doubted whether his body could contain it. However, he felt unprecedented excitement and excitement, because he knew that he had taken a big step on the road to immortality!

At this moment, Lu Xiuyuan seemed to have been reborn. His temperament became more profound and restrained, like a towering mountain standing between heaven and earth, calm and powerful. His eyes also became sharper, like two sharp swords, able to see through all falsehoods and disguises and look directly at the essence of things.

He took a deep breath, feeling the new power flowing through his body, as if it had opened a door to a higher realm for him. He knew that this was just the beginning of his journey to immortality, and the road ahead was still long, full of unknowns and challenges. But he was ready to continue moving forward with a firm will and unremitting efforts, pursuing a higher realm and a more powerful power!

Lu Xiuyuan stood in the center of the training room, feeling the new, surging power in his body. His feelings were difficult to express in words. He successfully broke through the limit of his cultivation and entered the Jindan stage from an ordinary cultivator, which meant that his cultivation path had taken another big step forward.

At this time, there were bursts of laughter and joy coming from outside the training room. It turned out that the members of the merman tribe had heard the news of Lu Xiuyuan's breakthrough and came to congratulate him. They held various precious gifts, their faces were filled with joy, and they were happy for Lu Xiuyuan's breakthrough.

The mermaid princess Nishang also came in person to congratulate. She was wearing a light blue dress that seemed to be made of the finest silk, soft and smooth, and the hem of the dress fluttered gently with her light steps, as graceful as the waves. Her face was as delicate as a painting, her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as a jade carving, her eyebrows were as black as willow, her lips were red without any makeup, and her beautiful eyes were shining with admiration and joy for Lu Xiuyuan.

"Congratulations, Master Lu, for breaking through and becoming a Jindan-stage cultivator." Nishang walked up to Lu Xiuyuan, bowed slightly, and said with a smile. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a spring in a mountain stream, which made people intoxicated. Lu Xiuyuan showed a gentle smile on his face, returned a salute, and thanked Nishang. He knew that his successful breakthrough was inseparable from the help and support of the mermaids. In his interactions with the mermaids, he not only learned a lot of valuable cultivation experience and knowledge from them, but also made some like-minded friends. These experiences have become an indispensable part of his life and laid a solid foundation for his breakthrough.

"Thank you Princess Nishang and all my friends from the mermaid tribe. It is your support and help that have enabled me to reach where I am today." Lu Xiuyuan said sincerely.

After hearing this, Nishang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. We, the mermaids, are also proud of you. Your breakthrough is not only your personal honor, but also the honor of our mermaids."

Next, Lu Xiuyuan had an in-depth exchange with the members of the Jiao people. They shared their cultivation experiences and lessons with each other, learning from each other and making progress together. Princess Nishang also introduced some unique cultivation methods and techniques of the Jiao people to Lu Xiuyuan, which benefited Lu Xiuyuan a lot.

However, happy times are always short-lived. When bidding farewell to the mermaids, Lu Xiuyuan found Princess Nishang to say goodbye. He expressed his gratitude to Nishang and promised to visit the mermaids again in the future.

"Princess Nishang, thank you for your care and help during this period. I will always remember it in my heart." Lu Xiuyuan said.

Princess Nishang smiled and responded, "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. We, the mermaids, welcome you at any time. I hope you can go further and further on your path of cultivation in the future and achieve a higher realm."

"Okay, I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave now."
