Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Since Xiao Muchen got the mysterious ancient book, he has devoted himself to studying the fighting skills in it. Day and night, he has devoted almost all his time and energy to it. He repeatedly ponders every character and every description, trying to unravel the mysteries hidden in it.

On this day, Xiao Muchen came to a quiet valley behind the Qingshan Gate as usual. The scenery here is beautiful, with waterfalls cascading down, and the splashing water sparkling with colorful light under the sunlight. The peaks on both sides of the valley are towering into the clouds, with green trees and birds singing happily on the branches, as if adding a touch of vitality to this quiet atmosphere. The spiritual energy in the valley is as rich as substance, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

He found a large flat rock, gently brushed off the fallen leaves and dust on it, and then sat down cross-legged. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gradually calmed his mind. He first followed the basic exercises of Qingshan Sect, guiding the surrounding spiritual energy to slowly gather around his body. The spiritual energy flowed slowly along his meridians like a gentle stream, nourishing his body and soul.

At the end of a cycle, Xiao Muchen's body was slightly warm, and his mind had reached a state of emptiness. At this time, he began to try to use the special method he learned from the mysterious ancient book to mobilize the fighting spirit in his body. The fighting spirit flowed through his meridians, and it was a little awkward at first, but as he continued to adjust and guide it, it gradually became smoother.

Xiao Muchen's forehead began to bead with sweat, and the crystal beads of sweat slid down his resolute face and dripped onto the ground in front of him. His expression also became a little solemn, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, showing that he was concentrating on practicing.

This time's training was different from the previous ones. He could feel a strong force stirring in his body, as if it was about to break out of its cocoon. That force was full of unknowns and mysteries, which made him both excited and a little nervous.

He took a deep breath, formed a complex seal with his hands, and chanted something. As he moved and chanted, the fighting spirit in his body began to flow along a strange route. Wherever it passed, waves of pain came from his meridians, as if countless fine needles were constantly piercing his body. But Xiao Muchen gritted his teeth and insisted on not making any mistakes in his movements and chants.

Just when the Dou Qi reached a critical point, Xiao Muchen suddenly felt a huge resistance, as if the Dou Qi was blocked by an invisible barrier and could not move forward. His heart tightened, knowing that this was the bottleneck of the breakthrough. This bottleneck was like a towering mountain, lying across his path forward. Only by climbing over it could he reach a new realm.

Xiao Muchen had no intention of retreating. His eyes became more determined, and his heart was burning with an unyielding fighting spirit. He concentrated his mind and put all his willpower into attacking this resistance. He continued to increase the output of his fighting spirit, attacking the invisible barrier again and again.

Every time he attacked, his body trembled and the pain came like a tide. His body spasmed involuntarily and his teeth clenched, but he still did not give up. Every time he failed, he would quickly adjust his state, gather strength again, and prepare for the next attack.

After countless attempts, the invisible barrier finally loosened a little. This loosening gave Xiao Muchen hope, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes. He seized this opportunity, mustered up his last bit of strength, and launched a full-force attack.

"boom!"

It was as if a thunderclap sounded in Xiao Muchen's body, and the stubborn barrier was instantly broken. The fighting spirit flowed through the newly opened meridians like a flood. The powerful force instantly filled his whole body, making him feel like he was reborn.

Xiao Muchen felt an unprecedented sense of ease and relief. He knew that he had successfully made a breakthrough!

At this time, Xiao Muchen's aura surged, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushed into his body crazily. His meridians were greatly expanded and strengthened, becoming wider and tougher, able to accommodate more fighting spirit. The fighting spirit also became more powerful and pure, as if it had been tempered by fine steel.

Opening his eyes, Xiao Muchen's eyes flashed with a brilliant light. That brilliant light was like a meteor in the night sky, bright and dazzling. He stood up and felt his new strength. At this moment, he had successfully broken through to the late stage of the Great Fighting Master, and was only one step away from the Fighting Spirit Realm.

Xiao Muchen was so excited that he couldn't help but wave his fist, and the powerful force brought a gust of wind. But he also knew that this was just a new starting point. He didn't indulge in the joy of the breakthrough too much, but immediately began to consolidate his realm.

He sat cross-legged again, using the new Dou Qi circulation route he had mastered to continuously train his body and Dou Qi. Each cycle made his strength more solid. He could feel his body becoming stronger and stronger under the nourishment of Dou Qi, and every cell was full of vitality.

In the process of consolidating his realm, Xiao Muchen discovered that this breakthrough not only improved his fighting spirit strength, but also brought his understanding and application of the mysterious fighting skills to a new level.

He stood up, holding the Star Sword, and performed the mysterious fighting skill. The sword shone brightly, as dazzling as the sun. The fighting spirit turned into sharp sword energy, shooting out in all directions. Wherever the sword energy went, the rocks collapsed, making a huge roar. Trees fell, branches and leaves flew, leaving deep marks on the ground. The power was amazing and frightening.

Xiao Muchen was overjoyed, he knew that he had finally mastered this powerful fighting skill.

However, just as he was immersed in the joy of his improved strength, he suddenly felt a strong breath coming from afar. This breath was full of oppression, which made his heart tighten. The originally cheerful birds also instantly became quiet, as if they sensed this dangerous breath.

Xiao Muchen looked towards the direction where the breath came from with caution, and saw a black shadow flying towards him quickly. In a blink of an eye, the black shadow landed in front of him. It turned out to be an elder of Qingshan Sect.

The elder was wearing a black robe with mysterious runes embroidered on it, showing his noble status. His face was serious, and he looked at Xiao Muchen with sharp eyes, which showed both surprise and admiration.

"Good boy, you can actually break through this kind of mysterious fighting skills. It really makes me look at you with new eyes." The elder said with a smile, his voice loud and powerful.

Xiao Muchen quickly saluted the elder and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Elder. I was just lucky to have made a breakthrough." His attitude was respectful and humble.

The elder waved his hand and said, "Don't be modest. Everyone can see your hard work and talent. But you must remember that improving your strength is only one aspect. The cultivation of your state of mind is equally important. On the road ahead, you must not become proud and complacent because of your strength, otherwise you will easily go astray." The elder's words were full of concern and warnings.

Xiao Muchen nodded solemnly: "Disciple will keep the elder's teachings in mind." His eyes were firm, indicating that he had taken the elder's words deeply to heart.

The elder smiled with satisfaction, then turned and left. His figure disappeared from Xiao Muchen's sight as quickly as when he came.

Xiao Muchen looked at the elder's departing back and secretly vowed in his heart that he must work harder in cultivation, live up to the elder's expectations, and become the top powerhouse in the Douqi Continent.

In the following days, Xiao Muchen practiced even harder, constantly improving his fighting skills, and making full preparations to break through to the Dou Ling realm.
