Chapter 204: I’ve Realized It, Spring
And what surprised the System the most was Ming Zhaoshuang’s Soul Realm.
She had just broken through to the Virtual Soul Realm, yet in this instant, she smoothed over the barrier to the Bright Soul Realm. Although she hadn’t truly entered the Bright Soul Realm, she could enter it as smoothly as cultivating the Virtual Soul Realm, requiring almost no effort.
As everyone knows, the Soul is the most difficult to cultivate, and the Soul Realm is the most difficult to break through.
The barriers in Spiritual Power cultivation can be continuously broken through with the accumulation of time, but the barriers in the Soul Realm require one to think and comprehend; without comprehension, it is impossible to break through.
For ordinary people, the barrier between the Virtual Soul Realm and the Bright Soul Realm takes almost a hundred or even a thousand years to overcome.
But Ming Zhaoshuang, before even reaching that barrier, broke through it!
This is truly beyond absurd!
Even the System couldn’t help but sigh, “Isn’t this just a bamboo shoot? Host, what exactly did you comprehend?”
Ming Zhaoshuang tilted her head back, looking up at the azure sky, wet with rain.
“I comprehended spring.”
The System paused.
Her comprehension was also extremely high. Although everyone’s enlightenment was different, Ming Zhaoshuang’s current state gave her a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
She could understand it, but others could not.
Yan Ao said, “Isn’t it spring now? Otherwise, how would bamboo shoots grow?”
Does spring need to be “comprehended”?
Wen Ye teased him, “Do you think everyone is as dim-witted as you? Her spring is definitely not just spring; it must encompass the Great Dao of the world.”
Yan Ao pouted and was about to speak when he saw that Qin Feilong and Xie Yanning’s auras had both changed.
Qin Feilong looked at Ming Zhaoshuang. The moment she said “spring,” he seemed to have an epiphany and a new beginning.
His Spiritual Power and Soul Power were both surging.
Although not as exaggerated as Ming Zhaoshuang’s, it was also rising at a nearly visible speed.
He also had an epiphany.
Spring, sentimental to this extent, births all things anew.
Spring, ruthless to this extent, cycles endlessly.
Sentimental does not necessarily mean overthinking, and ruthless does not necessarily mean heartless; spring is like this.
Xie Yanning, on the other hand, looked at the snow rabbit in her palm. Unsure what she remembered, she lowered her eyelashes and gently kissed the snow rabbit, her gesture devout and full of hope.
Due to her recent use of the Golden Jade Rotten Cotton Technique, her Spiritual Power had not surged; it remained at the Early Void Refinement Stage. However, her Soul Power had ascended a level.
She had stepped from the Virtual Soul Realm into the Bright Soul Realm.
She had an epiphany.
Spring is new life, and it is hope.
Spring is farewell, and it is reunion.
No need to lament the wilting flowers of spring’s passing, as gatherings and partings are hurried.
Just wait for the willows to sprout new green, and spring’s scenery will meet again.
Yan Ao: “?”
Wen Ye: “?”
These three, so outrageous, could comprehend so much from a single spring?
Or were they too stupid to even know that this spring held so much to comprehend, making hundreds of years of springs wasted?
Yan Ao smacked his lips, “I’ve decided to truly savor my spring.”
Wen Ye nodded in agreement, “I think I’ll just stare at bamboo shoots every spring. I want to see just how vast the universe contained within a single bamboo shoot can be.”
The three finished their enlightenment and looked at the other two.
Xie Yanning coughed several times, spitting up blood, “My current cultivation is at the Early Void Refinement Stage. Although I can use Scarlet Flame, my cultivation is limited, so I’ll have to rely on you two.”
Yan Ao rubbed his nose, “This young master has pure bloodline and is at the Late Void Refinement Stage. Although my injuries haven’t healed yet, I can’t deal with it, but I can stall it for more than ten hours.”
Wen Ye disdained, “You can’t even stall it for two hours…”
Yan Ao said angrily, “Can you not mention two hours? I already told you it’s because I had no Demonic Power then! No Demonic Power! Who knew you’d take so long to draw a damn formation! I really can’t stand it!”
Ming Zhaoshuang frowned, looking at Wen Ye, “Since you are a Talisman Master, drawing an Illusion Formation shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Wen Ye asked in confusion, “Why draw an Illusion Formation? Shouldn’t it be a Trapping Formation or a Weakening Formation?”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, “I need you to draw an Illusion Formation. As long as your Illusion Formation can cover Jingyan Ridge, and no matter how you fight inside it, you won’t be discovered, then there will be no problem.”
Wen Ye pondered, “This formation isn’t difficult. I only need two to three hours to draw it. With my cultivation, I can guarantee that no one below the Mahayana Stage will be discovered.”
Illusion Formations are quite complex and cover a wide area, so two to three hours is definitely fast enough for Wen Ye.
It’s just that this requirement precisely stops at the Mahayana Stage.
Mimi is at the Mid-stage Mahayana, so this formation is clearly not qualified for Ming Zhaoshuang. Thus, Ming Zhaoshuang bit her lip slightly and, remembering something, summoned the Mountain River Brush.
“Can you draw this formation pattern?”
As she spoke, Ming Zhaoshuang drew a formation pattern of a Wei Shuo Talisman Formation on the ground.
Wen Ye raised an eyebrow, “I am the most powerful Talisman Master of the younger generation of the Demon Race. How could there be a formation pattern that I cannot draw?”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s hand moved rapidly, leaving only a blur of afterimages.
But Wen Ye’s expression slowly became as if he had eaten a fly.
No, this formation pattern.
It didn’t seem to be something he could control.
Wen Ye swallowed and said hesitantly, “Um… can I take back what I just said?”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s brows lowered, and she retorted, “You can’t?”
Wen Ye said, “It’s a bit difficult.”
Before Ming Zhaoshuang could speak, Wen Ye, fearing she would look down on him, quickly added, “It’s not that I can’t, it’s just that I can’t draw while fighting… it’s not that I can’t draw while fighting, it’s just that if, um… if the Huan Bird discovers it, it might control the flames, causing my formation to be destroyed, and then it won’t be able to connect.”
He stammered for a long time, and Ming Zhaoshuang understood his meaning.
She said, “You can draw it, but your formation is not stable and can be easily interrupted.”
Wen Ye nodded vigorously and added, “Moreover, this formation will take me even longer, possibly a full day.”
Ming Zhaoshuang understood that the difficulty of a formation also affected the drawing time, so she had no doubts about this point. Instead, she asked further, “Then what is your upper limit…”
Wen Ye said, “Mid-stage Mahayana! At the realms of Body Integration and Mahayana, the gap between each cultivation level is like a chasm. Although this formation is much more complex than the previous one, it should be a High-Grade Heaven Grade formation. But my strength is limited; I can only draw it to this extent.”
Mid-stage Mahayana, Mimi is precisely at Mid-stage Mahayana, so this is excellent!
Ming Zhaoshuang smiled, “That’s enough. If my cultivation weren’t insufficient, I probably could have drawn it myself.”
In the Talisman Formation Path, besides her Soul Power being insufficient, Ming Zhaoshuang had not encountered any major difficulties. She only knew that the Wei Shuo Talisman Formation was definitely not ordinary. Hearing Wen Ye say that his formation was unstable did not cause her any significant surprise.
After all, she was a genius; she couldn’t expect everyone else to be a genius.
Wen Ye exclaimed, “You’re also a Talisman Master?”
