127: Chapter 127 Breakthrough in Cultivation

Zhang Yuxi on the bed had a pale complexion, and her brows and eyes were filled with an undisguised exhaustion.

At this moment, her blood and Qi were depleted, her Spiritual Qi was slightly weak, and her figure appeared somewhat frail and fatigued.

But upon seeing Li Changqing rush into the room, his eyes filled only with her and their child, and feeling the innate liveliness and cuteness of the child beside her, Zhang Yuxi's pale cheeks instantly flushed with a vibrant color, her eyes curved, filled with extreme tenderness and happiness.

At this moment, the warmth and satisfaction of becoming a mother for the first time surged into her heart.

Before her was the love of her life, the good man who would stay by her side, and beside her was the child who continued their Bloodline and was connected by flesh and blood.

The two people she cherished most were within reach, their palms touching, relying on each other with tenderness; an indescribable sense of fulfillment and happiness instantly filled her entire heart.

Li Changqing leaned over, his fingertips gently brushing over her cool forehead hair, his eyes filled with heartache and tenderness, and he whispered softly.

"Yuxi, you have worked hard."

His voice was sincere and earnest, the heartache and emotion in his eyes were without a shred of falsehood, and every word came from the depths of his heart.

Zhang Yuxi, feeling the warmth coming from his palm and listening to her lover's gentle comfort, felt her heart burning with warmth.

All the exhaustion from childbirth and the depletion of her Physical Body vanished at this moment, leaving only extreme joy and fulfillment in her heart.

"Husband... we... also have a child of our own now."

Zhang Yuxi's voice was slightly choked, soft and gentle, and on her pale face, a bright and tender smile bloomed.

Li Changqing nodded heavily, comforting her with soft words, every sentence considerate and meticulous, revealing his full cherish and care.

Li Changqing named his son Li Feng; he was a member of the Family's Yun generation, and after his Spiritual Root was tested, he would be called Li Yunfeng.

The couple whispered affectionately, and the atmosphere in the room was tender, lingering, quiet, and peaceful.

Having just upgraded to father and mother, the couple set aside most of the time they should have spent on arduous Cultivation, settled down to accompany their young son Li Feng, and spent a whole year of plain and simple time.

In this year, they shed the coldness of a Cultivator's long-term killing and arduous Cultivation, and completely integrated into the mundane daily life.

There was no tireless morning and evening meditation, no dedicated study of Medicinal Pills and Talismans, and their days and nights were filled with the play of their young child and trivial household matters.

The days were plain and simple, without any of the magnificence of the Cultivation World, yet everywhere was filled with the purest laughter of an ordinary Family, warm and healing.

After accompanying the child through his ignorant first year and seeing Li Feng stable, healthy, and increasingly clever, the couple settled their minds, calmed down again, and embarked on the right path of Cultivation that belonged to a Cultivator.

The young Li Feng was entrusted to Father Li, Mother Li, Li Zifan, and a female Family member hired by Li Changqing from the Family to take care of and raise him carefully.

In the years that followed, whenever Li Changqing and his wife came out of closed-door Cultivation for a short rest, they would put down all Cultivation matters and stay by their son's side, making up for their daily absence, fulfilling their responsibilities as parents, playing with him, teaching him to understand the world, and identifying plants.

When the time for companionship ended, they would once again concentrate on closed-door Cultivation, settling their cultivation base and polishing their Foundation.

This cycle of closed-door arduous Cultivation and short-term companionship with their child passed slowly in silence and stability, without waves or ripples.

Time flew by, and in a flash, several years passed quietly.

On this day, within the Immortal Cave of Changsheng Garden at the bottom of Xuanling Lake, in a quiet and secluded chamber created by Li Changqing, the atmosphere was serious and heavy.

Li Changqing was sitting upright on a futon covered with spiritual velvet, his eyes tightly closed, a trace of lingering heaviness between his brows, his eyebrows slightly knitted, and his expression tense.

His complexion alternated between red and white, his blood and Qi surging, and his skin trembled faintly; it was visible to the naked eye that his state was extremely unstable, and he was enduring unusual Cultivation pain.

Inside his body, surging blood and Qi were churning and galloping wildly, the Meridians of his whole body were fully stretched, and pure Spiritual Qi flowed rapidly along the Meridians that connected his whole body, circulating in cycles, and finally gathered and occupied the Foundation Establishment Foundation in his Dantian Qi Sea, ready to go.

At this moment, he was at the most critical moment of breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage to the Middle Stage Realm.

At this moment, Li Changqing cast aside all distracting thoughts, focused, locked his mind, operated his internal Cultivation Technique with all his strength, and drove it to the extreme state.

Inside his body, there remained the thick Spiritual Qi Foundation accumulated from his previous arduous Cultivation and the refining of several Medicinal Pills; this majestic and pure energy hidden in his Meridians and Dantian was his greatest confidence for this Breakthrough of the Realm, specifically prepared for breaking through the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage barrier.

Everything was ready, and the time was ripe.

Li Changqing's mind moved, no longer hesitant, he controlled the vigorous Spiritual Qi accumulated in his Dantian for a long time, condensed it into an extremely refined, thick, and majestic Spiritual Qi ball, and launched a decisive impact on the Realm barrier that had hindered him for several years.

In an instant, a massive amount of pure Spiritual Qi surged wildly along the Meridians, pouring into the Foundation Establishment Foundation in his Dantian.

A violent turmoil was instantly set off inside his body, and a huge torrent of Spiritual Qi, far exceeding his usual Cultivation, washed over every inch of his Meridians and nourished his Foundation, while a feeling of intense soreness and tearing swept through his whole body.

The extreme pain instantly swept through his limbs and bones, Li Changqing's face turned pale suddenly, his brows and eyes were filled with suppressed pain, and his body trembled slightly.

Fine, bean-sized cold sweat rolled down his forehead, hitting the bluestone floor below, and was instantly evaporated by the thin Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Cave, disappearing without a trace.

The pain was bone-eroding, and his Meridians were sore and about to crack, but Li Changqing gritted his teeth, held on tightly to the pain in his body, a flash of determination and madness flashed in his eyes, and he did not retreat or slack off at all.

He concentrated his energy, controlled the majestic Spiritual Qi ball in his Dantian with extreme mental control, and again and again, fearlessly slammed into the invisible barrier between the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage and the Middle Stage.

Every collision caused his Meridians to bear a violent load, and his Foundation underwent an extreme tempering, with the pain layering and becoming more bone-piercing.

Even though the pain was unbearable and he was physically and mentally exhausted, his Dao Heart remained stable, his will was decisive, and he kept gritting his teeth and persisting, unwilling to slack off or give up at all.

This state of extreme impact and suppressed arduous Cultivation lasted for a full incense stick of time.

At a certain moment, a barely perceptible vibration of the Foundation sounded from the depths of his Dantian!

Li Changqing clearly perceived that the Realm barrier that had trapped him for a long time suddenly loosened and shattered, and the originally stagnant and stiff Foundation Establishment Foundation expanded and widened by a circle out of thin air.

He immediately focused and looked inside his own Dantian Qi Sea; although it was difficult for the naked eye to detect the subtle changes, under the keen Divine Sense investigation of a Cultivator, the changes were clear.

The originally solidified Foundation Establishment Foundation completely broke free from its shackles, its volume quietly increased, its outline became more rounded and thick, and the Foundation became more solid and stable.

What followed was an extreme sense of transparency and comfort that swept through his whole body; the stagnation of his Cultivation and the feeling of the Foundation being stuck for the past few years were swept away, his whole body was light, and the Spiritual Qi flowed without obstruction.

The Foundation was sublimated, and the Spiritual Qi was transformed!

The Spiritual Qi in his Dantian not only had a skyrocketing storage capacity, but was also more full and plump, and its quality had achieved a qualitative improvement, condensed and pure, with plenty of stamina.
