As the saying goes, if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening!
This is not just empty talk; for many monks, it is indeed a very true portrayal.

If a chance for a breakthrough appears before a cultivator who has been stuck in a bottleneck for many years, he will try his best to take a gamble even at the cost of his life!
Although Li Zhirui's cultivation has not stagnated for many years due to a bottleneck, the opportunity has already appeared in front of him, and it is obviously impossible for him to give up.

After all, who knows if you miss this opportunity, when will the next breakthrough come? No one wants to stagnate in one realm for too long.

So even though the road ahead was extremely dangerous, Li Zhirui, after making sufficient preparations, still rushed forward without hesitation.

boom!
But before he could get close, an explosion suddenly sounded next to his ears, and a huge wave of chaos rushed towards him.

Li Zhirui's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. He knew that this was just an accident and he was too unlucky to encounter this situation.

Now there are two ways to solve the problem. One is to confront it head-on, but you may get hurt. The other is to hide in space as you did in the past when encountering danger, and then you will be safe.

Logically speaking, Li Zhirui should make the same choice as before.

But this time he wanted to make some changes. He didn't want to encounter any danger, so he hid in the space without hesitation. Instead, he planned to give it a brave try!
"Ha! Ha—"

The energy sank into his dantian and he let out a loud shout. The magic power in his body poured out in an instant like a flood that had been opened. The water was surging and huge waves were set off, colliding with the chaos that was rushing towards him.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the water waves were defeated step by step and were no match for the chaotic energy.

Fortunately, the chaos wave was weak and after withstanding the first wave of attack, the water waves had the strength to fight back and began to push back the chaos that was approaching Li Zhirui.

"Whoosh-"

After the chaos wave completely dissipated, there was very little magic power left in his body. He looked like he had been fished out of the water, sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

It was just an unexpected wave of chaos, but it forced him into such an embarrassing situation. Li Zhirui couldn't believe his own strength, which was so vulnerable!
Originally I thought that the immortal was already very powerful, but now it seems that he is like a frog sitting at the bottom of a well, only seeing the small world at the mouth of the well.

Now that he has jumped out, he has seen a wider world and realized his own insignificance.

But Li Zhirui did not become discouraged because of this. Instead, he became more motivated and more determined to pursue the great path!
At the same time, his thoughts have also changed. He no longer wants to watch the fight between the two powerful men, but to challenge his own limits in the aftermath of the battle they started!
But now, he had to step back temporarily and recover his completely exhausted magic power.

The two powerful men who were fighting had already noticed Li Zhirui's presence, but they did not even spare a glance for him.

Because in their eyes, this is just an ant, not worthy of their attention at all, and they still devote themselves to the fight.

……

Half an hour later, under the dual effects of the secret technique and the elixir, Li Zhirui's magic power quickly recovered to perfection, and he approached the battlefield again.

slam-la-

Another wave of chaos swept in from all directions. He was now like a small boat on the stormy sea, which could be swallowed up at any time.

A feeling of fear and terror surged from his heart, as if it was going to drown him!
Seeing the chaotic wave approaching and about to swallow him up, Li Zhirui did not move at all, as if his mind had been taken away by anxiety.

It was not until the wave was three meters away from him that he suddenly woke up! The magic power in his body was like an erupting volcano, pouring out violently all at once.

At that moment, countless giant trees emerged from the empty void, and the area within dozens of miles turned into a dense and prosperous forest, forming a thick barrier that blocked and cut off the chaotic waves.

After the waves swept through, the giant trees rustled and shook violently, leaves fell madly, and thick branches broke, but they quickly turned into spiritual light and fed back into the inside of the giant trees, either repairing the damage or increasing their foundation.

Li Zhirui's magic power decreased rapidly and reached the bottom in just a moment. He could only keep taking elixirs. As soon as a trace of magic power was born in his dantian, he threw it into the giant tree forest to resist the endless waves of chaos!
The battle between the two mighty men seemed to have reached a critical moment. The battle became more and more intense, resulting in continuous aftermath and an endless wave of chaos.

As the passive party, he could only grit his teeth and persevere!

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Li Zhirui felt that his consciousness had become confused. He only knew to frantically swallow elixirs to restore his magic power and support the thousands of giant trees to resist.

He didn't stop his mechanical movements until the chaos wave dissipated.

"finished?"

He was now on the brink of collapse, with only the last bit of consciousness left, and his subconscious took him into the safe place of space.

And after Li Zhirui disappeared in the void for a moment, an extremely huge body flew past from above. He did not lower his head to check whether the ant was dead or alive, but just dragged his seriously injured body away quickly.

If he didn't bring his last bit of consciousness back to the space, and was shocked by the pressure leaked by the powerful person passing by, his life would be in danger!

After all, Li Zhirui is at a critical juncture at this time, and any unexpected change will be a huge pressure and fatal threat to him.

And now, he was lying unconscious under the Five Elements Immortal Root, having completely lost consciousness.

"Ok?"

Not long after, Yu Hong came out of the Five Elements Small World, wanting to pick some spiritual creatures to cultivate and reproduce, to add vitality to the Five Elements Small World, and to reduce the time it takes for the Five Elements Heavenly Dao to deduce living creatures.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the space, he saw Li Zhirui who was unconscious and dying.

"What did he do? Why is his injury so serious? "

Yuhong was shocked to see Li Zhirui in critical condition. He didn't even know what to do to avoid aggravating his injuries and save his life.

Just when Yu Hong was hesitating and didn't know what to do, the Five Elements Immortal Root suddenly moved. Bits of spiritual light emerged from the tree and slowly sank into Li Zhirui's body.

This made him even more afraid to intervene, and he could only guard silently by the side, waiting for him to wake up.

Before long, the excess spiritual light turned into a cocoon of light, wrapping up Li Zhirui and creating an environment more suitable for healing.

"It should be okay, right?" Yu Hong said to himself worriedly.

If anything happens to him, he will suffer too!
Don't forget that Yuhong is currently in Li Zhirui's space, and he is the only one who knows how to enter and exit. He is now unconscious, and if he even dies in his sleep, no one knows what changes will happen in the space.

Whether they will follow closely and perish together, or break away and wander around independently, is completely unknown!

As for the Five Elements Small World? There is a high probability that it will collapse directly. After all, it depends on the Five Elements Immortal Root, and the Immortal Root is Li Zhirui's natal spiritual object that is closely related to him.

So whether for his own safety or for his future, Yuhong sincerely hopes that Li Zhirui can live well!

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. Li Zhixuan, who also came to the void to seek a chance to break through to become a celestial being, was not doing so well, and was even far worse than Li Zhirui.

At least the latter had encountered several great opportunities, such as the moment when the Tao was revealed when the creatures of the small world ascended to the upper realm; and the Chaos Chamber of Commerce's Hall of Ten Thousand Treasures, which further improved his qualifications.

But she had no chance at all!

It would be fine if that were the case, but there weren't many battles. Li Zhixuan was like a traveler in a hurry, constantly running in the void, looking for opportunities to fight, but he could only appreciate the "scenery".

"Why have the creatures in the void become so scarce?" She was very puzzled.

When she came to the void a few times before, she would encounter chaotic creatures from time to time, no matter how strong or weak they were, but at least there were creatures that could fight with her.

Instead of being like now, there is total silence in the void, with only a little sound coming from the eternal chaotic aura when some disaster is brewing.

Fortunately, Li Zhixuan, who practices the sword art of killing, has plenty of perseverance and persistence. Even if she doesn't have them during this period, it doesn't matter. She can wait!

Her persistence finally brought about change.

In the next few hundred years, Li Zhixuan encountered many chaotic creatures that were equally powerful or stronger than her.

In every battle, she would throw herself into it with all her might, so even if she won, her injuries were quite serious.

This also resulted in the rapid depletion of the elixir that was originally thought to be usable for many years, and the time she would return to the Yuanling Realm would be much earlier!
But despite such restrictions, Li Zhixuan's fighting style has not changed, and he still fights with all his might.

Doesn't she know the disadvantages of doing this? Of course she does!

But she just wanted to push herself in this way so that she could break through the bottleneck as soon as possible.

But this method is too extreme, and some sequelae may occur at any time!

"cut!"

At this moment, Li Zhixuan was fighting with a huge chaotic creature that looked like a turtle with amazing defense. The red and black sword energy in his hands could cut off even the chaotic airflow, but it could not break the giant turtle's defense.

Roar--

A roar came from the giant turtle's mouth, and a stream of dark water shot out from its mouth, instantly appearing in front of Li Zhixuan.

Clang!
It was clearly a stream of water, but when it collided with the black sword, it made a sharp sound like metal and stone colliding.

At the same time, a huge force came and pushed Li Zhixuan back several miles.

His obviously bloated body became very flexible at this moment, like a meteorite that streaked across the sky, leaving a long afterimage and smashing towards her.

"Break it for me!"

Li Zhixuan's eyes were red, and all his energy was poured into this sword. With a loud roar, a red sword energy as dark as ink cut through the chaos and rushed straight towards the giant turtle.

Rumbling--

The sword energy collided with the giant turtle, instantly creating a huge storm. She was blown away, her clothes tattered and her body covered with scars.

Fortunately, the injury was not as serious as that of the giant turtle.

As the giant turtle that had taken her sword head-on, its proud shell had now been shattered into pieces, and the remaining sword energy had directly penetrated into its flesh and blood.

And this is the real reason why it is on the verge of death.

Perhaps no one would have thought that beneath its indestructible shell lies a very weak body.

"Cough cough..."

Li Zhixuan held on, holding the black sword, and walked to the dying giant turtle, giving it the final blow.

Woo~
Just before she made her move, the giant turtle, which had no intelligence, suddenly let out a cry for mercy.

It’s a pity that Li Zhixuan has never let go of the precedent of fighting with his opponents, and this time is no exception.

What's more, it has no intelligence. If she lets it go this time, the next time she sees it, it will not even remember that she spared its life!
The sword swung up and down, a flash of sword light passed by, and the giant turtle was completely dead.

It’s a pity that even after such a fierce battle, Li Zhixuan’s bottleneck is still as solid as a rock, without any loosening!

However, she had long been accustomed to this situation, so she was not discouraged at all and did not need to cheer herself up. She just packed up her spoils and left quickly.

……

On the other side, after hundreds of years of uninterrupted nourishment from the Five Elements Immortal Root, Li Zhirui finally woke up from his coma.

The moment he opened his eyes, the Five Elements Light Cocoon that wrapped him shattered instantly, transforming into pure spiritual energy that entered his body, making the final contribution to his dried-up meridians and dantian.

"Well……"

After waking up from a deep sleep of hundreds of years, Li Zhirui found that he could hardly speak.

It took him a long time to fully wake up and regain his memory. He also knew what he had been through over the years and how dangerous his previous situation was.

“What a fluke!”

After reading the memories, he couldn't help but sigh that he was truly blessed by God. If the situation had gone a little wrong, he might not have been able to wake up!

Through this lesson, Li Zhirui discovered that he had a huge weakness, that is, he felt that he had space that could serve as a safe retreat, and he always thought he had nothing to fear.

So if they encounter a little danger, they will hide in space instead of fighting desperately like other monks!

This caused him to lack an adventurous spirit, especially as his cultivation level improved, he became more cautious in his actions and placed too much emphasis on safety.

It’s not that this approach is wrong, but spiritual practice is a road that goes against the will of heaven and changes one’s destiny, and is full of hardships and dangers. If there is no desire to be the first, how can one go further and longer on the path of spiritual practice?
Fortunately, it is not too late for Li Zhirui to wake up, and through this tempering, he has changed. (End of this chapter)
