Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Muchen made the decision, he immediately made thorough preparations for the upcoming breakthrough. He knew that on this road of cultivation full of challenges and crises, if he wanted to go further and stand higher, he had to constantly improve his own strength to gain a foothold in this ever-changing world.

He chose the most secret and quiet secret room in the sect as the place for this breakthrough. The moment he stepped into the secret room, the silence around him seemed to isolate the whole world, and only his steady and powerful breathing echoed slowly in this empty space. Xiao Muchen sat on the ground, gently closed his eyes, tried to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and let his mind gradually adjust to the most pure and focused state like a calm lake.

After everything was ready, he took out the eighth-grade elixir "Tianling Zaohua Dan" from his storage ring with a solemn and expectant mood. This elixir was like a bright pearl, emitting a dreamlike light, and every ray of light seemed to contain endless mysterious power. Xiao Muchen looked at it carefully with a focused and passionate gaze, with both an eager anticipation for the upcoming substantial improvement in strength and a hint of tension that was difficult to conceal in the face of unknown risks.

Xiao Muchen took a deep breath, as if he had made a great determination, and resolutely put the pill into his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, and instantly a huge energy like a surging torrent burst out in his body without warning. This energy was extremely violent and brutal, and it madly attacked his meridians and internal organs like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. Xiao Muchen felt as if countless sharp blades were cutting his body wantonly, and the severe pain came in waves like a surging tide, making him grit his teeth, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead like rain.

But he knew that if he retreated at this moment, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he might even explode and die because he could not control this energy. So he quickly activated the mysterious and powerful Chaos Heavenly Spirit Technique that he had cultivated, trying to guide this surging and untamable energy to flow in an orderly manner in the meridians. However, this energy was too powerful and overbearing, and his initial efforts were like an egg hitting a stone, so insignificant and a drop in the bucket.

At this critical moment, a light suddenly flashed through Xiao Muchen's mind, and he thought of the mysterious artifact on his body - the Fire Lotus Platform. He concentrated his energy without hesitation and called the Fire Lotus Platform with a powerful mind. In an instant, the Fire Lotus Platform emitted a colorful and dazzling light, like a blooming lotus, wrapping him up gently and firmly.

Xiao Muchen seized this rare opportunity and, relying on the magical and unique power of the Different Fire Lotus Platform, began to gradually refine the almost out-of-control energy of the elixir. He could feel a warm and powerful force gushing out from the Different Fire Lotus Platform, flowing into his body continuously. With the help of the Different Fire Lotus Platform, he gradually mastered the control of the elixir energy and transformed it into his own cultivation and strength.

As time went by, Xiao Muchen felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, as if he had merged with the world around him. He knew that this was because the Fire Lotus was helping him break through to a higher level. He closed his eyes, immersed in this wonderful feeling, and let the Fire Lotus guide him forward.

With the magical help of the Strange Fire Lotus Platform, the energy of the elixir was gradually tamed. Part of it was slowly absorbed by Xiao Muchen's body like a docile stream, blending into his fighting spirit, nourishing and strengthening his meridians and internal organs; the other part was cleverly stored by the Strange Fire Lotus Platform, waiting to be transferred to him later, providing him with continuous and stable energy support.

As time passed quietly, Xiao Muchen gradually took the initiative, slowly refining more and more energy, making it perfectly integrated with his own fighting spirit. His aura became stronger and deeper, like a volcano about to erupt, containing shocking power. The surrounding air trembled slightly because of the strong pressure emanating from him, as if succumbing to this powerful man who was about to rise.

During this long and arduous process, Xiao Muchen had an unprecedented deep understanding and perception of the Chaos Heavenly Spirit Technique that he practiced. He constantly adjusted and optimized the route of the Dou Qi to make it more efficient and smooth, like a carefully built canal, allowing the flow of Dou Qi to be smoother and unimpeded, greatly improving the efficiency of practice.

After several days of hard practice, Xiao Muchen finally succeeded in absorbing most of the energy of the "Heavenly Spirit Creation Pill". At this time, his fighting spirit had reached a delicate critical point, like a water tank about to overflow, and only the last bit of critical power was needed to achieve a breakthrough.

Xiao Muchen keenly felt that the opportunity for a breakthrough was approaching. He concentrated all his attention and gathered all his mental strength, ready to make a full effort to break through the bottleneck of the four-star Dou Zun.

In the secret room, the fighting spirit surged like a violent storm, raging wildly, making waves. The space around Xiao Muchen seemed unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure and twisted slightly, making a heart-pounding crackling sound, as if the space was about to break.

"Break it for me!" Xiao Muchen shouted, his voice full of determination and unwavering faith. The fighting spirit in his body was like a flood that broke through a dam, rushing towards the stubborn and powerful bottleneck with overwhelming force.

There was only a clear and loud sound, just like the most precious colored glass in the world was shattered in an instant, and the bottleneck that had troubled him for a long time finally collapsed in an instant under the impact of this unparalleled power. Xiao Muchen successfully broke through to the four-star Dou Zun.

He slowly opened his eyes, and they sparkled like the brightest stars in the night sky. A powerful and majestic aura naturally emanated from him, as if it could sweep away everything and make everything bow down to him.

Xiao Muchen felt the huge improvement in his strength, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy and unprecedented confidence. But he also knew clearly that this was just a new starting point, and there would be a longer and more challenging road waiting for him to explore and conquer in the future.
