The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 167 Yun Yao's Breakthrough

In the ancient and quiet practice room of the sect, Yun Yao sat on the futon and began to practice the newly acquired water-based skills. This skill book exuded a mysterious blue light, and the words on it were like dynamic water ripples, and each character contained profound power. However, the road of practice is never smooth sailing. Yun Yao encountered many difficulties as soon as she started to practice the skills.

When she tried to guide her spiritual power to flow along the route of the technique, it was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running wildly through her meridians without control. Every impact brought piercing pain, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, soaking her clothes. But Yun Yao gritted her teeth and persisted. She knew the importance of this technique to her. It was the key to improving her strength and the foundation for her to gain a foothold in this fiercely competitive sect.

She closed her eyes tightly, trying to recall the description of the technique, trying to adjust the direction of her spiritual power. She tried again and again, but failed again and again. The out-of-control spiritual power raged in her body, gradually damaging her meridians. Every impact was like a cruel test on her body and will.

Just when Yun Yao was about to despair, a prompt sound suddenly came from the system in her mind. That sound was like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing her hope. The system began to analyze the problem of her current spiritual power in detail, pointing out that she was too eager to guide her spiritual power and ignored the key step in the practice of integrating spiritual power with her own aura.

Yun Yao calmed down and followed the system's instructions to calm her mind like water. She slowed down her breathing, felt the water vapor in the air around her, and introduced them into her body little by little, blending with her spiritual power. This was an extremely slow process that required great patience and concentration. She seemed to have turned into a quiet lake, accepting every bit of water vapor and making them a part of herself.

As the water vapor element was integrated, the spiritual power gradually became docile and began to flow along the correct route of the technique. Yun Yao carefully guided it, not daring to slack off. Every time she passed an acupuncture point, she could feel the wonderful changes brought about by the technique, a feeling of resonance with the water power between heaven and earth.

However, new problems arose. When the spiritual power reached a key acupuncture point, it encountered a strong resistance. This resistance was like a solid wall, blocking the spiritual power from advancing. Yun Yao tried to increase the output of spiritual power, but the resistance did not move at all. Instead, it had a rebound force, causing her meridians to be impacted again.

She did not panic and asked the system for help again. The system reminded her that this was a test level in the practice and needed to be resolved with a special method. Yun Yao carefully studied the practice and found that she needed to use the flexibility of water power to resolve the resistance. So, she changed her strategy and no longer forced a breakthrough. Instead, she transformed her spiritual power into strands, flowing slowly around the resistance like a trickle.

Time passed quietly during this difficult practice. Yun Yao didn't know how long it had been. Finally, the resistance gradually disintegrated under the gentle attack of the water power. The spiritual power passed this level smoothly and continued to move forward. Yun Yao was exhausted at this time, but she continued to persevere with a firm light in her eyes.

After countless adjustments and breakthroughs, Yun Yao finally completed a small cycle of spiritual power. She could clearly feel that her spiritual power became purer and stronger, and the connection between her body and the power of water became closer. But this was only the beginning of the practice. She had to repeat this process and expand the scope of the spiritual power cycle until she completely mastered this technique.

In the following days, Yun Yao devoted almost all her time to cultivation. She forgot about the noise and disputes in the outside world, and only had the water-based technique and the spiritual power in her body in her eyes. Every practice was a hard battle, and she constantly struggled with the difficulties in the technique and her own limits.

As she practiced more, Yun Yao encountered more and more challenges. Sometimes, she would fall into the dangerous situation of spiritual backlash; sometimes, she would almost collapse due to excessive mental exhaustion caused by long-term practice. But she never gave up, and her indomitable perseverance supported her through one difficulty after another.

Finally, on a starry night, Yun Yao felt an unprecedented power surging in her body in the training room. Her spiritual power was like a surging river, breaking through the shackles of the Qi training realm and successfully advancing to the early stage of the foundation building realm. At that moment, the water vapor elements around her seemed to be summoned and gathered together, forming a faint blue halo around her.

This breakthrough caused a sensation in the sect. Other disciples felt the sudden increase in Yun Yao's aura and came to watch. Their eyes were filled with surprise and envy. They did not expect Yun Yao to break through to a new realm so quickly.

When Yun Yao walked out of the training room, her temperament changed dramatically. She was already elegant and refined, but now she looked even more ethereal, as if she was a fairy walking out of the water. Her eyes were more determined, and they contained confidence and strength.

The elders in the sect also noticed Yun Yao's breakthrough. A white-haired elder came to check it out in person. He looked at Yun Yao with approval in his eyes. The elder knew the efforts Yun Yao had made during her training, and also understood what this breakthrough meant to the sect.

The elder began to pay attention to Yun Yao's growth. He took Yun Yao to a quiet valley, which was an excellent place for cultivation in the sect. The elder began to teach Yun Yao some cultivation experience and skills that only disciples in the foundation-building stage could access. He told Yun Yao that the foundation-building stage was an important turning point on the road of cultivation. In this stage, more attention should be paid to the perception and use of the power of heaven and earth, and not just limited to the improvement of one's own spiritual power.

The elder also explained to Yun Yao some of the deeper secrets of the sect and the distribution of cultivation resources. He hoped that Yun Yao could make full use of these resources in future cultivation and continuously improve her strength. At the same time, the elder also reminded Yun Yao that as her strength increased, she would face more challenges and dangers, and she should always be vigilant.

Yun Yao listened carefully to the elder's teachings. She knew this was a rare opportunity. She kept every word of the elder in mind and prepared to put it into practice in her future practice. Under the guidance of the elder, Yun Yao had a clearer plan for her own practice.

After returning to her residence, Yun Yao did not become complacent because of her breakthrough. She knew that this was just a new starting point on her path to cultivation, and there were higher peaks waiting for her to climb. She began to sort out her experience in the process of cultivation, preparing to share these valuable experiences with other disciples in need.

Yun Yao's breakthrough became a hot topic in the sect. Many disciples admired her and asked her for advice on how to practice. Yun Yao also generously shared her experience with them. She hoped that every disciple in the sect could make continuous progress in practice and jointly enhance the strength of the sect.

Chu Mochen was also happy for Yun Yao after learning of her breakthrough. He watched Yun Yao's changes and secretly vowed to work harder and not be left behind by Yun Yao. He knew that in this challenging world of cultivation, only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and the people around him.

The author says:

During the creation process, I hope to let everyone feel the hardships of her practice and the difficulty of her breakthrough. Every difficulty is a test of her will, and her persistence and hard work finally brought her transformation.
