Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

The two of them maintained this state day after day, and their spirits and realms were slowly improving.

Half a month passed quickly, and Gu Yang's physical energy was much stronger than before. He was able to use the "Eight Blades of Breaking the Edge" very skillfully.

He looked at the spiritual power in his dantian that was about to be saturated, stopped any activities he was doing, and stayed obediently in the training room, waiting for a breakthrough.

Hu Qing waited on the side while nurturing the golden elixir. After half a month of exploration, the bottom stripe had already lit up by one third.

He could now sense other people's malicious gazes towards him, without even needing to have murderous intent.

However, there is still no clue about the so-called precognition, and the introduction to it in ancient books is only half-baked.

I guess I can only know how to use it specifically after all the stripes of the golden elixir light up.

Gu Yang closed his eyes and immersed his mind in the flow of spiritual power, feeling every breath and every heartbeat.

As time passed, Gu Yang's spiritual power continued to accumulate in his body, like a volcano about to erupt.

The spiritual energy in the air was still being attracted by the "Great Dream Technique" he was practicing, and it rushed towards him, forming a vortex with him as the center.

His skin seemed to have turned into countless tiny suction cups, greedily devouring this pure energy.

It then entered his meridians and circulated throughout his body. After circulating for several cycles, his spiritual power became more condensed.

As time went by, the spiritual power in Gu Yang's body continued to rise like a tide, and every breath was accompanied by the surge of spiritual energy.

His body seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit. No matter how much spiritual energy poured in, it could be perfectly absorbed and transformed by him.

He could feel that the spiritual power in his body was gradually condensing, becoming more pure and powerful.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a slight sound broke the silence of the training room.

The spiritual power in Gu Yang's body seemed to have broken through some shackles, rushing down along his meridians and finally converging in his dantian.

At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment, and his spiritual power was no longer just flowing gas.

Instead, it began to condense into substance, forming some thick liquid, which nourished the whole body in the Dantian.

He broke through and entered the early stage of foundation building from the peak of Qi gathering stage.

However, there was no joy on Gu Yang's face, but he looked extremely solemn.

His gaze fell on Hu Qing, who was also practicing next to him, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Next he has to face his inner demons, which he feels both love and hate.

I finally knew clearly what happened that day, but I was afraid of implicating Hu Qing.

Hu Qing had already stopped cultivating and said calmly, "Your mind is in turmoil! You've already gone through the inner demons of the Core Formation Stage with me, and you're still afraid of this?"

He stood up, put his hand on Gu Yang's shoulder and shook him hard twice, as if trying to wake him up.

"You are so timid, this is not the Gu Yang I know!" Hu Qing shouted.

After hearing this, Gu Yang's expression became better. He closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of his inner demon. He was indeed confused.

Just when Gu Yang was calm, he suddenly felt dizzy. He felt as if his soul was pulled out of his body by some force and floated high into the sky.

He tried to resist, but found that he could not control the power at all.

He could only watch as his soul left his body and was swept into an unknown space along with Hu Qing's soul.

This time he could see clearly that there was spatial turbulence everywhere.

There were gullies everywhere, and the surrounding space fragments kept cutting through their souls, and every cut brought severe pain.

Both of them fell into coma in an instant, their souls floating in this unknown space, as if they had lost their direction.

In the darkness, the golden elixir in Hu Qing's body was slowly rotating, absorbing the broken fragments of space, and the pattern on the surface quietly lit up a small area.

……

Gu Yang's consciousness slowly awakened in the chaos, as if he had passed through endless darkness and finally reached the other side of light.

He opened his eyes, and a burst of dazzling light made him squint involuntarily.

Gu Yang felt his eyelids were heavy, as if they were being pressed by an invisible block of lead.

He tried to raise his hands to block the sudden light, but found that his arms were extremely thin and could hardly bear his weight.

He lifted the quilt and looked at his hands.

Those were no longer a pair of weathered hands of an adult man, but a pair of tender and soft hands of a child.

He touched his face in horror. His smooth skin and thin cheeks were exactly what he looked like when he was seven years old.

He sat up and looked around, and what came into view was the familiar beam.

Everything about this cozy house was exactly as he remembered it.

He jumped off the bed, his body extremely graceful, stood on the ground, and punched the air.

I felt soft and weak, without any strength at all. I couldn't feel my Dantian and couldn't use any spiritual power.

Gu Yang tried to mobilize the spiritual power in his body, but found that he was just like an ordinary person and could not feel any flow of spiritual energy.

He had a splitting headache, as if countless needles were stirring in his brain.

He couldn't help but groan, with a hint of helplessness and fear in his voice.

"Brother Gu, are you awake?"

Hu Qing's voice came from the quilt next to him, and his voice was trembling slightly.

Gu Yang turned his head and saw Hu Qing crawling out from under the quilt. His face showed the same confusion and panic as Gu Yang's.

Hu Qing lifted the quilt and found that he had a physical body, which was his previous body and had the same physical qualities.

The two men stood together, discussing the known conditions, but Hu Qing looked at Gu Yang, who was only as tall as his thigh, and seemed to want to laugh.

Gu Yang's face turned dark. He walked to the cabinet and found that the mirror on it was intact, showing his flushed face.

"A Qing, I feel that the inner demon is constantly correcting the mistakes we discovered, and this mirror has become intact." Gu Yang said, pointing at the mirror.

"I personally feel that this inner demon is searching for memories in our minds and then filling this world. My body can't even sense spiritual energy." Hu Qing smiled bitterly, his face full of helplessness.

Gu Yang nodded. This statement was indeed tenable. He looked at the rustling windows and had a plan in mind.

"There are some tools on the wall. Pick some and use them for self-defense."

The two men searched the house. Fortunately, Gu Yang's father was a hunter and had many tools at home that could be used for self-defense.

They found two hatchets on the wall, which weren't real weapons, but in this situation, they were better than nothing.

There was also a wooden bow, which, though crude, was sufficient for shooting small animals.

"These should be enough for us to protect ourselves." Hu Qing picked up an axe. It felt pretty good and at least could be used for self-defense.

Gu Yang picked up the wooden bow. Although he was young, he had learned archery from his father since he was a child and his skills were pretty good.

He tried the bowstring and felt it was quite strong. He just hoped that it wouldn't miss the target.

"We have to be careful. Our bodies are still very weak and we can't use spiritual power. We can't compare to before." Hu Qing reminded.

Gu Yang nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, "Don't worry, I will protect myself."

The two men prepared self-defense tools, and Gu Yang searched the house for some items that might be useful.

He found some dry biscuits and water, not much, but enough to last them for a while.

He tore off a handful of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes. It was the familiar taste in his memory, which he had not tasted for many years.

Hu Qing put his hand on the handle of the wooden door, took a deep breath, and then pushed hard.

The door slowly opened, and a biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in his face, and he couldn't help but shiver.

The world outside the door was shrouded in a blizzard, everything was white, even the sky lost its color and turned gray.

The wooden fence in the yard was buried under the snow, and its original appearance was almost unrecognizable, with only a few small tips showing.

As he stepped out of the door, his feet immediately sank into the thick snow, and the cold feeling penetrated through the soles of his shoes and penetrated into his bones.

Hu Qing couldn't help but shiver, and his body began to shake involuntarily.

Gu Yang stood behind him, looking at Hu Qing, feeling worried.

"Aqing, are you okay?" Gu Yang's voice sounded a little weak in the wind and snow.

Hu Qing shook his head and tried to force a smile, but the cold made his smile stiff.

"I'm fine, just a little cold."

Gu Yang didn't say much. He turned around and went back into the house and started searching.

He remembered that there was a large wardrobe at home where many winter clothes were stored.

He found two thick winter coats, one for himself and one for Hu Qing.

He handed one of them to Hu Qing and quickly put on the other.

Fortunately, the family had prepared clothes for Gu Yang, and Hu Qing was a little smaller than his father, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him.

Hu Qing took the winter clothes and looked at Gu Yang gratefully. He quickly put on the winter clothes and felt his body gradually warming up.

The two of them found some warm items, such as scarves, hats and gloves, and took some warming measures before stepping out of the house again.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was getting stronger. The surrounding trees were covered with icicles, which rustled in the wind.

Hu Qing followed behind Gu Yang, and the two of them walked forward in the snow, one step deep and one step shallow.

Gu Yang remembered the direction of Qingtian Mountain, but he could only rely on vague memories to find the way.

The blizzard blurred their vision, and they could only rely on the occasional exposed trees or rocks to determine their direction.

In the wind and snow, the two figures looked particularly small.

Their breath formed white mist in the air and was quickly carried away by the cold wind.

Gu Yang looked back at Hu Qing from time to time to make sure he could keep up.

They walked for a long time, and the wind and snow seemed to show no sign of stopping.

Gu Yang began to feel a little tired, and his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

After all, he is only seven years old and his physical energy consumption is no match for an adult.
