Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

The moment she stepped into the Kunlun Secret Realm, she felt as if she had stumbled into a fairyland beyond the mortal world. Towering peaks reached the sky, and the mountain was shrouded in a veil of ethereal aura, creating a dreamlike scene.

The exotic flowers in the mountains sway gracefully, and the strange grass sparkles with mysterious luster. Every petal and every blade of grass seems to contain endless spiritual charm.

Looking into the distance, a waterfall looks like an upside-down Milky Way, rushing down from the sky. Its majestic momentum makes the earth tremble slightly, the roar is endless, and the splashing water forms gorgeous rainbows under the reflection of the sun.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is so rich that it is almost tangible. Every breath is like absorbing the water of a spiritual spring. Under the infiltration of the spiritual energy, the meridians in the body actually expand on their own. The cultivation level seems to be gently pushed by an invisible hand and rises quietly.

"This fairyland is truly the perfect place for cultivation!" Xue Tianhan muttered to himself, his eyes filled with joy and determination. He gathered his thoughts, knowing that such an opportunity could not be missed. He immediately used his acrobatic skills to search for a suitable place for retreat among these towering mountains.

Soon, he found a quiet valley surrounded by jagged rocks covered with moss, which perfectly concealed his figure.

Xue Tianhan walked into the depths of the valley, found a flat boulder, sat cross-legged, quickly formed complex seals with his hands, slowly closed his eyes, put aside all distracting thoughts, entered into a deep state of meditation, and began to guide the spiritual energy in his body to slowly circulate according to the ancient secret method of Kunlun School, "Nine Heavenly Stars Sutra".

At first, the flow of spiritual energy in the meridians was quite smooth. With the guidance of the mind method, the meridians were widened with each circulation, and the spiritual energy absorbed became more and more powerful. The cultivation level also steadily advanced from the early stage of the clone and successfully touched the threshold of the middle stage of the clone.

However, the higher you climb, the more rugged and difficult the road becomes.

When he attempted to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Realm, he found a bottleneck like an indestructible barrier before him. No matter how he directed his spiritual energy, the barrier remained unmoved.

Xue Tianhan frowned, thinking to himself, "It's probably difficult to break through this barrier with just the accumulation of spiritual energy. I must have a deeper understanding of the way of heaven and earth."

So, he temporarily stopped absorbing spiritual energy, stood up and paced around the valley, gazing at the rushing waterfall, the withering and flourishing of flowers and plants, and the gathering and dispersing of clouds and mist, trying to understand the true meaning of the natural cycle and the alternation of life and death.

This kind of deep contemplation lasted for several days, and finally, on a full-moon night, he felt something in his heart, and a blessing came to his mind. The spiritual energy in his body seemed to be inspired by something, and it broke through the barrier and successfully entered the middle stage of the distraction state.

"Haha, I finally broke through!" Xue Tianhan couldn't hide his joy and laughed out loud. But he also knew that the road of cultivation from now on would only become more difficult.

As expected, every step from the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Realm to the late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm was filled with hardship. Every advancement in realm was like climbing a steep cliff; the slightest mistake would lead to a fall to the bottom.

With his unyielding perseverance and persistent belief in protection, Xue Tianhan gritted his teeth and persevered time and time again, enduring the severe pain caused by the violent impact of spiritual energy on his meridians, as well as the shock deep in his soul when his skills broke through.

At the crucial moment of his breakthrough to the late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm, Xue Tianhan encountered an unprecedented predicament. The spiritual energy within his body was in disarray, and the operation of his cultivation technique seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. No matter how he guided it, he could not find the opportunity for a breakthrough.

He was extremely anxious, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes.

"Am I going to stop here? No, absolutely not!" Xue Tianhan roared inwardly. He thought of the plight of the Lingxu Sect, the safety of the Kunlun Sect, the hopes of his teachers and friends, and most importantly, Xiao Qi. His eyes grew more determined.

He decided to take a gamble and try to fuse an extremely dangerous spiritual fire of heaven and earth - "Kunlun Spiritual Flame", using its violent power to break through the bottleneck.

Xue Tianhan knew that the "Kunlun Spiritual Flame" was extremely rare, even in the Kunlun Secret Realm, which was rich in spiritual energy. However, he did not retreat and resolutely embarked on the journey to find the spiritual fire.

Along the way, he encountered many powerful spirit beasts.

Once, a three-headed python burning with black flames blocked his way. The python spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "How dare you, tiny human, trespass into my territory? You are courting death!"

Xue Tianhan looked solemn and carefully responded to the giant python's attack. With his exquisite body skills and powerful spells, he finally repelled it after a hard fight.

After countless hardships, Xue Tianhan finally found a trace of spiritual fire deep within a volcano. However, approaching the fire was like being in purgatory. The scorching heat burned his skin, and the surrounding rocks melted into boiling magma. The slightest carelessness would result in death in the sea of ​​fire.

But with his tenacious will and exquisite body skills, he cleverly avoided numerous dangers and successfully collected the spiritual fire.

After returning to the valley, Xue Tianhan carefully introduced the spiritual fire into his body. In an instant, an extremely violent force rushed through his meridians. His body began to tremble violently, his face distorted, and his pain was beyond words.

"Hmph, you foolish human, how dare you try to subdue me? I will definitely turn you into ashes!" A sharp voice came from the spiritual fire, full of anger and unwillingness.

Xue Tianhan gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and used all his spiritual power to tame this force, guiding it to blend and collide with his own spiritual power.

Just as Xue Tianhan was about to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm, a strong, fishy wind suddenly blew up around the valley. He felt a chill in his heart, secretly saying, "Oh no!" With his keen senses, he detected a group of demonic beasts rushing towards him.

These monsters were obviously attracted by the powerful aura he emitted when he broke through, and tried to kill him when he was at his most vulnerable and snatch the magic weapons and spiritual fire from him.

Leading the charge was a massive black panther, its fur glistening with a cold light, its eyes revealing ferocity and greed. Behind it came a mob of demonic beasts, including winged wolves that could spit icy spires from their mouths, and giant apes the size of hills, their arms waving in a whirring sound.

Xue Tianhan was groaning in his heart, but he was in a difficult situation at this moment. The fusion of the spiritual fire in his body and his own spiritual power was at a critical moment. Once it was interrupted, not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but he might also suffer the backlash of the spiritual fire and end up with his soul torn apart.

He quickly scanned the valley and found a natural depression, and immediately had an idea in his mind.

He endured the severe pain in his body and the raging spiritual fire, and quickly took out several formation flags from the storage ring. He changed the spells in his hands, inserted the formation flags into the ground at specific positions, and muttered something.

In the blink of an eye, a simple defensive formation took shape in front of him, emitting a faint light that enveloped him.

"Hmph, human, hand over the spiritual fire quickly, otherwise today will be the day of your death!" The black panther spoke in human language, his voice full of cruelty and pride. Then he pounced towards Xue Tianhan first, and the group of monsters behind him followed suit.

"Get out, otherwise you will be dead when I break through." Xue Tianhan scolded.

However, the monster remained unmoved and continued to launch attacks outside the formation. Various spells and physical attacks fell on the formation like raindrops, and the light flickered, and the formation was crumbling.

Xue Tianhan's face was pale and sweat was pouring down. Not only did he have to allocate part of his spiritual power to maintain the operation of the formation, but he also had to concentrate on guiding the fusion of the spiritual fire and his own spiritual power. Every minute and every second was extremely difficult.

"Hold on, I must hold on!" Xue Tianhan kept encouraging himself in his heart. His eyes became more determined, and under the pressure of this life-or-death situation, his understanding of the way of heaven and earth had a new breakthrough.

The spiritual power and spiritual fire in the body gradually stabilized and began to blend with each other, forming a more powerful force that flowed slowly through the meridians.

As time went by, the light of the formation became dimmer and dimmer, while the aura of Xue Tianhan became stronger and stronger.

Finally, in a burst of dazzling light, Xue Tianhan successfully broke through to the late stage of the distraction realm. His strength had made a qualitative leap compared to before, and his every move contained the power to split mountains and rocks.

"Awoo!" The black panther seemed to have noticed Xue Tianhan's change and let out an unwilling roar, but it did not retreat. Instead, it attacked the formation even more frantically.

Xue Tianhan snorted coldly, a cold gleam in his eyes: "You guys, you don't know how to live or die, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"

After saying that, he flashed, broke through the already shaky formation, and pounced towards the black panther.

He unleashed the new spell he'd just mastered after his breakthrough, the "Star Shattering Fist." His fist shimmered with starlight, as if imbued with the power of the entire universe. With each punch, the air ripped apart, a crackling sound echoing.

The black panther's eyes widened in fear, and it tried to dodge, but it was too late. Xue Tianhan's fist slammed into it, sending it flying and crashing into the nearby mountain wall, creating a huge crater. The black panther vomited blood and was dying.

The other monsters saw the situation was bad and fled in all directions, but Xue Tianhan would not let them go easily. His body was as fast as lightning, moving freely among the monsters, and every time he attacked, a monster would fall.

Soon, the valley was filled with the corpses of monsters lying in all directions, and the ground was dyed red with blood.

Xue Tianhan gazed at the devastation before him, took a deep breath, and calmed the chaotic spiritual energy within him. He knew that his breakthrough was a stroke of luck. This life-or-death battle had only made him realize more clearly the difficulty and cruelty of the path to immortality.

At this moment, despite all the hardships he's endured, his gaze into the distance has become even more resolute. He knows full well that the responsibility he carries is immense, and only by constantly growing stronger can he protect everything he holds dear in this treacherous world of immortal cultivation.

"This is just the beginning. I will definitely become stronger!" Xue Tianhan vowed secretly. In this mysterious Kunlun secret realm, he had completed a magnificent transformation.
