Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

In the dim cave, a single oil lamp cast a faint, yellowish light, its flame flickering and crackling occasionally. By its dim glow, one could see Lin Yu and the others sitting around an old man. The old man's gaze was solemn as he slowly pulled a yellowed manual from his robes. The cover bore the four characters "Lingxu Xin Jue" (灵虚心诀), written in a bold, flowing script. He gently stroked the cover, as if recalling distant memories.

"I obtained this manual by chance many years ago and have treasured it ever since. Today, I pass it on to you, hoping that you can use it to defend against powerful enemies." The old man's voice was deep and powerful.

The old man first told Lin Yu to calm down and clear his mind of all distractions. Lin Yu sat in a corner of the cave, closed his eyes, and tried to steady his breathing, but the worry and anxiety in his heart made it difficult for him to be completely calm.

Seeing this, the old man gently patted Lin Yu's shoulder and said, "If the mind is not calm, the qi will not flow smoothly; if the qi does not flow smoothly, the work will not be accomplished."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and tried again, finally calming his mind down.

Then, the old man began to explain the key points of the manual to Lin Yu in detail. "The techniques in this manual focus on the cultivation and circulation of internal energy. You need to first feel the potential power within your body, and then guide it to flow along specific meridian routes."

Following the old man's instructions, Lin Yu tried to sense the power within his body. At first, he was completely clueless and felt utterly lost. But he didn't give up and tried again and again.

Little Jinzhi watched from the side and tried to follow suit, but she frowned, seemingly not making good progress. The old man walked to her side and said gently, "Little girl, don't rush, feel it with your heart."

Lin Feng was equally focused, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Finally, Lin Yu detected a faint trace of energy. He was overjoyed and wanted to speed up the process, but the old man stopped him.

"Don't rush, haste makes waste." The old man's voice was steady and powerful.

Lin Yu steadied himself and carefully guided the energy, slowly circulating it along the meridian pathways. With each step forward, he could feel a slight warmth spreading through his body, and his power gradually gathered.

However, the path of cultivation is not always smooth. After guiding his internal energy through one cycle, Lin Yu suddenly felt his energy blocked. His internal energy stagnated in his meridians, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push the force forward. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and anxiety began to creep into his heart.

Xiao Jinzhi also encountered a similar problem. When she was circulating her internal energy, she felt a sharp pain in her meridians, as if countless needles were pricking her, which made her cry out in pain.

Lin Feng found that he couldn't accurately sense that potential power; it always disappeared just when he was about to capture it, which made him very frustrated.

Because of her weak constitution, Ling'er found cultivation even more difficult. She had just begun to guide her internal energy when she felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Looking at the obstacles they encountered, the old man calmly said, "The path of cultivation is fraught with obstacles. Lin Yu, your energy is blocked because your meridians are not yet fully open; you need to use your internal energy to break through the blockages. Xiao Jinzhi, your meridians are tingling because your internal energy is too strong; you need to slow down its flow. Lin Feng, you can't sense your power because your mind is not calm enough; you need to readjust your mindset. Ling'er, your body is weak; you must not rush things. First, recuperate before you begin cultivating."

Under the old man's guidance, Lin Yu gritted his teeth, mobilized all his internal energy, and launched an attack on the blocked meridians. After several attempts, he finally broke through the obstruction, and his internal energy was able to continue flowing smoothly.

Xiao Jinzhi slowed down the flow of internal energy, and the stinging pain in her meridians gradually lessened.

Lin Feng tried his best to calm himself down and finally succeeded in sensing that potential power.

Ling'er followed the old man's advice to first recuperate her body before slowly trying to cultivate.

After several days and nights of arduous training, Lin Yu and the others had made significant progress in their strength. Lin Yu's swordsmanship became even more ferocious, infused with internal energy, creating a whistling wind. Xiao Jinzhi's spells were now executed with greater ease, their light flashing. Lin Feng's movements became even more agile, like a ghost.

“It’s time to go back and save Old Wang,” Lin Yu said. His eyes were full of confidence and determination, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was ready to face any challenge.

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with determination.

Guided by the old man, Lin Yu and his group approached Ouyang Kuishan's stronghold silently.
