Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 6: Break through the five realms in one day and consolidate the foundation!
Chen Qiye didn't slack off, pressing forward with all his might, aiming for the third level of Qi. He circulated the essence within his body, attempting to transform it into Tai Chi Qi using his spirit as fire. This process was far more difficult than opening up the lower Dantian. Under his guidance, the essence was sometimes docile, sometimes violent, like a wild beast that was difficult to tame.

Taoist Master Daoxuan stared at Chen Qiye from the side, his expression tense yet filled with anticipation. He knew full well how difficult this step would be. Even the most gifted of ordinary disciples would need years, even decades, to complete it. But Chen Qiye was different; perhaps he could truly create a miracle.

At this moment, Chen Qiye immersed himself completely in the arduous process of refining. As time passed, the essence within him was gradually tamed by the fire of divine consciousness, slowly transforming into strands of pure Tai Chi Qi. These energies flickered and danced through his meridians like sparks, each strand imbued with immense power.

Finally, the first strand of Tai Chi Qi was successfully born, followed by the second, the third... More and more Tai Chi Qi gathered in his body. Chen Qiye felt as if his meridians had been widened countless times, able to accommodate more power. His body also became more resilient under the baptism of this powerful force.

Taoist Master Daoxuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Good boy, you are truly a genius! Such a speed of cultivation is simply unheard of."

Chen Qiye remained undeterred by Daoxuan Zhenren's praise, fully aware that he still had a long way to go to reach his goal. After a brief period of adjustment, he advanced towards the fourth level of the Exorcism realm. Now, his Tai Chi energy was sufficiently abundant, and he began to attempt to channel it through his meridians, allowing it to escape from his body and exorcise the object.

With a thought, Chen Qiye's Tai Chi energy quickly flowed to his limbs and bones. He slowly stretched out his hand, concentrating his mind on a stone in the courtyard.

At first, the stone trembled only slightly, but as he became more proficient in controlling the Tai Chi Qi, the stone slowly rose and began to spin in mid-air. Chen Qiye's heart surged with excitement, and he increased the output of his Qi. The stone's speed grew faster and faster, creating a whirring sound.

Taoist Master Daoxuan watched this scene from the side, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It seems that this magical weapon must be given away."

However, Chen Qiye's goal was to break through the five realms in one day. He did not stop and continued to strive for the fifth level of the Five Qi realm. He circulated the Tai Chi energy in his body, trying to further widen the meridians and reach the state of Five Qi Converging to the Origin, obtaining the energy of the five internal organs and the five elements.

This step was actually not that difficult for Chen Qiye. After all, his meridians had been greatly strengthened in the previous breakthrough, and their resilience far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Chen Qiye closed his eyes and concentrated, using his mind as a guide to control the Tai Chi Qi like a nimble dragon, weaving through his meridians. As if pulled by invisible threads, the five internal organs in his body each released their corresponding five elements: sharp metal, vigorous wood, warm water, fiery fire, and heavy earth. The five auras intertwined and balanced each other.

During this process, Chen Qiye felt his Qi and blood growing stronger and stronger. Every heartbeat was like the resounding of a huge bell, and surging power surged through his limbs and bones. A faint light flickered beneath his skin, a miraculous phenomenon resulting from the perfect fusion of the Five Elements Qi and Tai Chi Yuan Qi.

"Breaking through the fifth realm in one day...breaking through the fifth realm in one day...this little fellow actually did it." Daoxuan Zhenren muttered to himself with a look of shock on his face, his voice filled with disbelief. He had witnessed the growth of countless cultivators, but had never seen someone with such extraordinary talent. His heart was filled with shock and joy.

"Alright, Qiye, you can't break through anymore. If you do, it'll be too much." Taoist Master Daoxuan interrupted him. He didn't want Chen Qiye to overuse his talent in pursuit of a temporary thrill.

Chen Qiye slowly opened his eyes, their gleaming light gleaming. The powerful aura lingering around him hadn't yet completely subsided. He looked at Taoist Master Daoxuan. Although he felt reluctant, he also understood that his master was right.

"Master, I understand. It's just that the exhilarating feeling of practicing this way makes it difficult for me to stop for the moment."

Taoist Master Daoxuan stepped forward, his eyes filled with satisfaction and concern. He patted Chen Qiye on the shoulder and said, "You are gifted and have a bright future ahead of you, but cultivation is like rowing against the current, and a solid foundation is the long-term solution. Breaking through the five realms in one day is an unprecedented feat. If you force a breakthrough again, your body and soul may not be able to bear it." "I understand, Master, then... my disciple's magic weapon..." Chen Qiye nodded and said quickly.

Taoist Master Daoxuan was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter and gently tapped Chen Qiye's forehead: "You kid, you're still thinking about this. Don't worry, I promised you the magic weapon, and I won't break my promise. You should have a good rest now, and I will bring your magic weapon to you tomorrow."

Chen Qiye chuckled and scratched his head: "Thank you, Master. I will go to rest now. I will make sure to recuperate and be energetic to welcome the divine weapon tomorrow."

After seeing Daoxuan off, Chen Qiye sat cross-legged again, closing his eyes in meditation. Gazing at the old sword in his sea of ​​consciousness, Chen Qiye softly asked, "Sister Fairy, my current realm..."

"Xiao Qiye, there's no need to ask. Your realm is extremely stable. That old guy is obviously overly worried." Mother Jian's gentle voice sounded.

When Chen Qiye heard the voice coming from his sea of ​​consciousness, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a relaxed smile: "Sister Fairy, I knew you would think there was nothing wrong with me, but Master is also doing this for my own good."

"That old Taoist priest is a bit pedantic, but he is sincere to you. In fact, according to my estimation, you can break through at least two more realms." Mother Jian said slowly.

Chen Qiye's heart stirred, but he suppressed the urge. Although he wanted to show off his prowess in front of others, he was also concerned about his own life. Chen Qiye took a deep breath and suppressed the temptation that Jian Ma had mentioned. He also knew that cultivation should not be rushed.

"Xiao Qiye, let me teach you a technique to consolidate your foundation." Mother Jian raised the corners of her mouth slightly, looked at Chen Qiye tenderly, and said softly.

When Chen Qiye heard that Mother Sword was going to teach him a method to strengthen his foundation, he was overjoyed and quickly responded, "That's great, Fairy Sister! I really need it!"

"This technique is called Void Slashing Dao. If you compare the state of mind to a dense bamboo, then Void Slashing Dao is the sharp blade that cuts off the stray branches. It can help you get rid of distracting thoughts and make the foundation of your practice as straight and solid as the main trunk of a bamboo." Mother Jian explained in detail.

Chen Qiye immediately followed the instructions given by Jian Ma and entered a state of cultivation. His mind wandered within his sea of ​​consciousness, following the mantras of the Void Slashing Dao's mental method. After sorting through his chaotic thoughts one by one, he directly mobilized the Tai Chi energy within his body, allowing it to transform into sharp "blades" guided by his mind.

As his cultivation deepened, Chen Qiye discovered that whenever a distracting thought arose, he could simply focus his mind on it and then use his vital energy blade to cut it off, and the distracting thought would instantly dissipate. Every time he cut off a distracting thought, he felt his thoughts become clearer and his sea of ​​consciousness became more clear.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint glow enveloped Chen Qiye's body. At this moment, his perception of himself reached a whole new level. Not only could he clearly feel the subtle rhythms of his internal organs, but he could even clearly grasp the flow of Tai Chi energy through his meridians.
