Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

After searching hard for several days in the vast forest, Hu Qing finally made up his mind.

Must break through!

This sea of ​​green miasma forest is vast beyond imagination, with dense vegetation and pervasive miasma, which greatly hinders perception and vision.

The mark left by Elder Xia remained unnoticed, like a stone sinking into the sea. Continuing to flit around like a headless fly was inefficient and increasingly dangerous.

Only by improving one's strength, especially enhancing one's perception, can one more quickly locate the possible hiding place of the fragments of the holy artifact in this green maze.

"I need to try to break through the second shackles." Hu Qing said to Gu Yang, his tone calm but with unquestionable determination.

Gu Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded heavily:

"It should have been done long ago! This damn place is too weird. The stronger you are, the greater your chances of survival."

He patted Hu Qing's shoulder vigorously, his eyes full of support and trust, but deep down there was also a hint of envy that was difficult to conceal.

Although he himself had also entered the Dust-Breaking Stage, the shackles on his Nascent Soul were still strong. He had not even broken free from the first one, but Hu Qing was already preparing to break free from the second one.

This gap made him feel a little nervous, but it also stimulated his fighting spirit to catch up.

Hu Qing saw through his thoughts and said slowly, "The opportunity hasn't arrived yet, so you can't force it. You have a solid foundation, so breaking the lock is just a matter of time."

He paused, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes, "The first shackles broke open my eyes, increasing my power of deduction and foresight, and unexpectedly, I gained the ability to condense energy and release lasers.

I wonder what kind of changes this second one will bring."

The second shackles he wanted to break were locked on his ears!

After searching for a while, several people finally chose an unknown giant tree that was a hundred feet tall and had an extremely lush and huge crown.

The dense and broad leaves stacked up like a natural green dome, blocking out the sight and danger below.

The two of them once again smeared their bodies with the spicy birch leaf juice to mask their breath.

Xiao Zi is no longer lazy, it understands the importance of the moment.

The tiny dragon body was like purple lightning, moving silently and quickly inside the huge tree canopy.

As the dragon claws swung, they accurately crushed or burned into charcoal the poisonous insects and strange ants hiding on the back of leaves and in the crevices of branches, clearing out a relatively safe area.

Its movements were light and swift, without making any unnecessary sounds.

Gu Yang was like the most loyal guard, holding his breath and guarding under the thick branch where Hu Qing was.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, constantly scanning the dark space below that was blocked by dense branches and leaves, his ears perked up, catching any unusual movements.

All the muscles in his body were tense, ready to deal with any sudden danger that might arise, creating as stable an environment as possible for Hu Qing to break through.

Hu Qing sat cross-legged on an extremely thick main branch, his body as steady as a rock.

He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the humid yet vibrant air in the forest, and then completely immersed his mind in his body. The chirping of insects and the whistling of wind in the outside world gradually drifted away from him.

Looking inward, he saw a little Nascent Soul figure that looked exactly like him floating quietly in the Dantian Qi Sea.

There are still eight thick chains shining with chaotic luster wrapped around the Yuanying, representing the layers of constraints that have not yet been broken on the road of cultivation.

At this moment, all of Hu Qing's mind was focused on one of them - the dark chain about the thickness of a quail egg that was connecting and imprisoning the ears of the Nascent Soul!

"let's start."

With a thought, the vast spiritual power in Hu Qing's body was mobilized instantly like an army receiving orders!

The vast torrent of spiritual power no longer circulated along the meridians, but instead continuously and madly rushed towards the sea of ​​consciousness and the ears of the Nascent Soul!

"boom--!!"

The torrent of spiritual power violently hit the dark chain!

The huge roar did not resound throughout the outside world, but exploded deep in Hu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness!

The chain suddenly shook violently, the light on its surface flashed rapidly, and it made a "creaking" sound as it could not bear the weight.

Hu Qing, who was outside, shuddered slightly. His ears instantly went deaf.

I can no longer hear any sounds from the outside world, and instead there is a terrifying tinnitus that is extremely sharp and penetrates the brain!

Buzz buzz buzz——!!

It was as if countless steel needles were stirring wildly in the eardrum, or as if billions of cicadas were buzzing at the same time in the skull!

The intense pain made his face turn pale in an instant, veins popped out on his forehead, and cold sweat dripped down.

But his mind did not waver in the slightest.

Having experienced breaking the lock for the first time, he knew that this was a necessary process.

He used his willpower to block out any external sounds and focused all his attention on fighting the chain.

The impact of spiritual power is one wave stronger than the other, like waves crashing against the shore, never stopping.

The vibrations on the chains became more and more intense, and the sharp tinnitus became more and more piercing.

Under this continuous impact, cracks thinner than a hair finally began to appear on the surface of the chain!

Hu Qing's heart was calm. He knew that the most time-consuming and patience-testing work had begun.

He no longer pursued violent outbursts, but instead controlled his spiritual power like the most precise carving knife or tough fine sand.

Scouring, polishing, and impacting those tiny cracks over and over again, making them expand and spread little by little...

This process is slow and painful, relying entirely on the practitioner's own spiritual reserves, willpower, and exquisite control of energy.

Outside, Gu Yang and Xiao Zi were still guarding nervously. Time passed by little by little, from the sun at noon to the sunset, and the light in the forest gradually became dim.

Hu Qing sat on the treetop like an old monk in meditation. Only his slightly trembling body and the cold sweat that kept oozing out showed the difficulty and torment he was going through.

The chain, which was as thick as a quail egg, was now covered with spider-web-like cracks, and its light was extremely dim, as if it would completely collapse in the next moment.

Just one step left!
