Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 50 The Other Shore (Bonus Chapter)
Over the next two days, Li Yao put aside his cultivation and took a good rest.

Only after his body and mind were completely relaxed did Li Yao return to his meditation chamber and continue his arduous practice.

This time was different, however. Yao Xi would often come to see him, which meant that Li Yao would come out of seclusion every few days.

Yao Xi made the otherwise peaceful and uneventful years of cultivation less tedious.

But unexpectedly, Li Yao's cultivation speed did not slow down as a result; on the contrary, it became even faster.

Li Yao was puzzled by this, wondering how the reduced cultivation time could actually accelerate his cultivation progress.

In the end, Yao Xi explained to him: "In the path of cultivation, there must be a balance between relaxation and rest. Silly junior brother, your previous cultivation plan was to relax only when you were physically and mentally exhausted, but that was your body and mind instinctively sending you warnings."

Facts speak louder than words. Li Yao agreed with Yao Xi's statement, so every time Yao Xi came to find him, he would simply come out of seclusion.

Having a stunningly beautiful woman by your side, you can occasionally tease each other without feeling bored, and it can even help you relax.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Li Yao has been cultivating in peace, and the Heavenly Meridian in his body has become thicker and clearer, transforming into a divine bridge that spans the sea of ​​suffering.

During this process, his mind was sharp, his life force was strong, and his body reached its peak. Everything went smoothly and developed in a positive direction.

Li Yao's cultivation has reached the peak of the Divine Bridge Realm, approaching the Other Shore Realm.

But just then, he noticed something was wrong. His vision became blurry, and he couldn't see anything, as if he had lost his way.

In this fog, all five senses and spiritual perception were stripped away. Li Yao's powerful divine sense seemed to have lost its function. He was like an ordinary person who had lost his way in the fog.

"The calamity of being lost?" he realized.

This step is extremely dangerous, one of the most perilous in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, because it involves one's state of mind. If one is not careful, it is possible to be lost forever.

Like Han Lin of Dragon Head Peak, who once fell at this hurdle. Although he did not completely lose his way, this incident caused him to develop a mental obsession. Even though he was already at the peak of the Divine Bridge Realm, he remained at this level for a long time and dared not continue to break through to the Other Shore Realm.

The path of cultivation is to defy the heavens. The human body is full of endless mysteries. If a cultivator does not want to be trapped in the sea of ​​suffering and wants to explore other secret realms of the human body, he must overcome the sea of ​​suffering.

Only by cultivating the Heavenly Meridian, which lies above the Sea of ​​Bitterness and leads to the other shore, can one find the foundation to escape this predicament. This is the Divine Bridge Realm, a crucial hurdle.

But where does the celestial vein extend from here, traversing the void, to reach the other shore? Some people spend their entire lives unable to see through illusion, trapped on one side of the divine bridge, unable to cross the sea of ​​suffering—this is the calamity of being lost.

In the most severe cases, the five senses may be stripped away, and all spiritual awareness may be lost, turning the person into a mindless and insensible cripple, which is the most terrifying thing.

Most people encounter a fog blocking their way when forming their Heavenly Vein, unsure of where to go. However, this step is not too dangerous. As long as one's Dao heart is firm, the path ahead will naturally appear.

“As the Buddhists say, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. Turning back may bring liberation, but it doesn’t suit my mind.” Li Yao shook his head, as this did not align with his philosophy of spiritual practice.

Undeniably, that was the right path, but not Li Yao's path. Cultivation is about cultivating the mind; walk your own path and witness the scenery along the way.

"The road ahead is shrouded in mist, unknown and uncertain. It may be full of thorns or a bottomless abyss. If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces... But so what? No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, I will go. The other side is just ahead!" Li Yao said calmly.

"Rumble"

The clouds surged and quickly dissipated, revealing a clear sky and everything before our eyes.

In an instant, the mist dissipated, his five senses returned, sharper than ever before, and a mysterious radiance enveloped him, as if he were undergoing a baptism. He had passed the test of life and death, broken free from the calamity of being lost, and both his body and spirit had been refined. His mind had become clearer, like a mirror covered in moisture that had been wiped clean.

A powerful aura emanated from the cultivation chamber. He crossed the sea of ​​suffering and reached the other shore, becoming a cultivator of the Other Shore Realm.

Li Yao immersed his mind in the Sea of ​​Wheels. At this moment, that Heavenly Vein became even thicker and more translucent, like a purple-gold beam spanning the sea, leading to an unknown place.

The heavenly veins shone brightly. He crossed the sea of ​​suffering and arrived at the end, a pure land shrouded in mist. High in the sky, he vaguely saw a huge Taoist palace.

That is the next secret realm, the Dao Palace, a secret realm for cultivating the five internal organs of the human body.

Li Yao only glanced at it briefly before withdrawing his attention. He had just reached the Other Shore Realm and was still some distance from the Dao Palace, so there was no point in looking any further.

Despite breaking through his cultivation level, Li Yao did not emerge from seclusion, because he had another very important matter to attend to: using the Vajra Bodhi Liquid to temper his physical body.

During this month, in order to break through to the other shore realm as soon as possible, he did not use Vajra Bodhi Liquid to temper his body.

Now that I have broken through to a higher level, it is the best time to use Vajra Bodhi Liquid.

Li Yao took out the Jade Purification Bottle, and then summoned the Divine Mark Purple Gold Furnace from the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The furnace emitted a purple light and was surrounded by purple mist. The furnace body was rapidly growing larger, and soon it became a huge divine furnace as tall as a person, floating in the room.

The furnace is very thin; even when enlarged, it is less than half a finger joint thick, which is not the weight a heavy weapon should have.

Every time Li Yao saw the weight of the stove, he felt like he was deceiving himself.

"I should find the immortal gold as soon as possible and integrate it into the furnace," Li Yao thought to himself.

However, he quickly snapped out of his thoughts. Now was not the time to think about such things. Compared to replenishing the furnace's reserves as soon as possible, the Vajra Bodhi Liquid in his hand was the priority.

Li Yao raised his hand and activated his divine power. Instantly, the jade bottle in his hand flashed with light, and the golden, radiant Vajra Bodhi liquid poured out from the bottle's mouth and flowed into the furnace.

Soon, the furnace was filled with the Vajra Bodhi liquid, a full furnace, which was very viscous.

As the Vajra Bodhi liquid appeared, the entire meditation chamber was immediately filled with the aroma of medicine.

Li Yao, just standing to the side, could feel a surge of desire emanating from his own body.

"The Vajra Bodhi Liquid, when used to temper the physical body, will surely make it even better."

Li Yao stared intently at the golden liquid in the furnace. Without wasting any time, he unleashed his divine power, shattering his clothes, and then jumped into the furnace.

The moment he jumped into the precious liquid, a surge of powerful energy began to flow into his body through his pores. Instantly, he felt refreshed and invigorated, as if his soul was about to float away from his body.

Its flesh and bones were trembling, frantically absorbing the medicinal power to grow.

His body radiated a dazzling light, golden energy surged, making his body sparkle like it was carved from divine jade, and a vigorous life force permeated the air, his skin shimmering with precious light.

P.S.: I almost laughed at my own stupidity; I didn't set up automatic posting, this is a supplement to yesterday's chapter.
