Chapter 404: Good Years
Half a month later, Meng Zhou revisited the old place and took advantage of a rare opportunity to enter the Juye wilderness again.
Then, he went straight to the "gap area" between the five domains.
When he came here, he did only one thing.
——Once again began to treat those "wounds" of heaven and earth in a targeted manner.
Every time a "wound" of heaven and earth healed, Meng Zhou's "Heaven and Earth Combination" skill gained 500 experience points, making the accumulation of this skill in the master realm go one step further.
…
Half a month ago, Meng Zhou suddenly had a question in his mind: "Have I really tried my best and done the limit of what I can do at the moment?"
Soon, Meng Zhou had the answer in his mind.
If his "spiritual master" and "knot master" professions were still at the third level before entering the fourth level, the answer to this question would be yes.
But the current situation is that these two professions have not only successfully broken through the barrier from the third level to the fourth level, but have also gone a long way in the fourth level realm. The spiritual master profession has even gradually begun to reach the ceiling of the fourth level.
Looking back at this time, Meng Zhou found that, in fact, he could go one step further on the basis of the existing preparations.
He had an idea and there was still about a year and a half of "time balance". In this case, what was there to hesitate about?
Let's do it!
As for whether this would be a bit excessive - if he really strictly followed the premise of "everything is based on his own breakthrough and everything goes smoothly without any interference from external forces", then the preparations he had made now were already a bit excessive, but he was not satisfied now and had to continue to increase the stakes on this basis.
So, is this excessive?
Very excessive!
But Meng Zhou had the interest of a child playing with firecrackers.
At this moment, under Meng Zhou's "treatment", the "wounds" of heaven and earth healed one by one. Meng Zhou enjoyed the rapid improvement of the experience of "combining heaven and earth" while having the excitement of a child playing with firecrackers, eager to try.
The wonderful thing is that the "firecrackers" did not explode immediately.
Forty days later, with Meng Zhou's efforts, another seven or eight hundred "wounds" of heaven and earth in the "gap zone" healed under her exquisite and skillful techniques.
On this day, after Meng Zhou healed the 800th "wound" of heaven and earth, he decisively stopped "treatment".
It's not that there is not enough time.
In order to wait for the return date, he continued to stay in the Juye Wilderness for about half a month.
The reason why he stopped at this step is that he intuitively felt that if he did not stop immediately, the "wound" of heaven and earth he healed would exceed a certain critical value.
The "gap zone" will inevitably erupt again in the next one or two years, or even a few months, with a huge disaster that is powerful enough to affect the entire Juye Wilderness.
After the "wound" of heaven and earth is healed, the suppressed power will take the opportunity to vent again, and there will be a more thorough total outbreak!
But Meng Zhou decisively stopped before taking this last step!
Although this cannot prevent the occurrence of "more violent outbreaks after suppression", Meng Zhou's approach has turned "uncontrollable" into "controllable".
This is equivalent to Meng Zhou suddenly having something similar to a "remote detonator" in his hand.
At the same time, the "treatment" of the "gap zone" in the Juye wilderness also brought Meng Zhou a full 400,000 points of "Heaven and Earth" experience.
"Heaven and Earth", which had not made any progress for a long time, began to make rapid progress in the master realm again.
[Master of Heaven and Earth 1.486 million/1.6 million]
-Originally, Meng Zhou could gain a maximum of 8,000 points of experience a day in the practice of "Heaven and Earth". However, Meng Zhou's achievements in all aspects have made great progress compared to the last time he practiced "Heaven and Earth". This is reflected in his use of "Heaven and Earth", and he has become more relaxed and more at ease.
This also allows him to gain more "Heaven and Earth" experience every day.
...
After leaving the Juye wilderness, Meng Zhou visited the other seven wildernesses in the next year or so.
In these seven wildernesses, there are areas similar to the "gap zone" in the Juye wilderness, where the rules of heaven and earth are extremely unstable, so that various natural disasters and disasters occur frequently.
When Meng Zhou left again, if someone could see all the changes within a domain, they would find that the frequency of natural disasters and earth disasters had obviously decreased a lot.
This allowed Meng Zhou to collect eight "remote detonators".
At the same time, when Meng Zhou left, he would also leave with the newly gained 300,000 to 500,000 points of "Heaven and Earth" experience.
The gain of these experiences not only allowed Meng Zhou's "Heaven and Earth" to complete the accumulation of the master realm, but also helped him complete most of the accumulation of the master realm.
[Heaven and Earth Grandmaster 2.7 million/3.2 million]
This is the new achievement of "Heaven and Earth" after Meng Zhou traveled through the eight wastelands of the outer domain again at the end of the year when he was 98 years old.
It is particularly worth noting that as "Heaven and Earth" completed the accumulation of the master realm, it was promoted to the master realm.
The two professions of "Spirit Master" and "Knot Master" also benefited.
Among them, the one with the greatest improvement was the "Knot Master" with a lower realm.
With this opportunity, the "Knot Master" gained 10,000 points of career progress, bringing him closer to the fourth-level upper grade, and just one step away from a breakthrough.
[Knot Master Fourth Level 62,000/100,000]
The "Spiritual Master" who is more closely related to "Heaven and Earth" has made much less progress than the "Knot Master" because Meng Zhou's current "Spiritual Master" attainments are too profound, and he has only gained 4,000 career progress points.
But this only seems "inferior", but in fact it allows Meng Zhou to take another solid step towards the end of the fourth-level career.
[Spiritual Master Fourth Level 94,000/100,000]
And in this year and a half of running back and forth, the progress of "Wanxiang Pearl" has not fallen behind.
When Meng Zhou returned to Xingxiu Sea from the last wasteland on December 20th of the year when he was 98 years old, "Wanxiang Pearl" also gained more than 460,000 experience points again.
[Wanxiang Pearl Master 1.587 million/1.6 million]
This is the state of "Wanxiang Pearl" when Meng Zhou just returned.
Five days later, with Meng Zhou's full investment, "Wanxiang Pearl" completed the final accumulation of the master realm and entered the grandmaster level.
【Master of Wanxiangzhu 00,000/3.2 million】
As the "Wanxiangzhu" took this crucial step, when Meng Zhou digested all the relevant experiences and insights that had just come into his mind, the "Knot Master" profession, which was closely related to it, directly increased its career progress by 20,000 points, and stepped into the threshold of the fourth-level middle-grade to the upper-grade.
【Knot Master Fourth-level 82,000/100,000】
And with the progress of the "Knot Master", the vision and height of the Dao of Danqi Fuzhen, which was related to it, also reached the level of the fourth-level upper-grade.
These achievements, combined with the "Spirit Master" of a higher level, produced a wonderful chemical reaction.
Without using any secret methods, Meng Zhou saw a more "real" real world with his naked eyes.
The original real world was empty, deep and boundless, without top or bottom, without light or sound.
The current real world, however, seems to be woven by countless dense and overwhelming silk threads.
They follow some wonderful laws, like weaving cloth, crisscrossing.
And this thread is so colorful that even the most beautiful brocade thread in the world can hardly compare to it.
And the entire real world woven on it is like the most beautiful brocade in the world.
Looking at any area of the "brocade" at random, Meng Zhou felt that he could see something deeper and more essential from it, as long as he put more thought and concentration into it.
When Meng Zhou looked at this wonderful "brocade" that was no longer in the world, he also felt that this brocade seemed to be actively releasing some kind of powerful attraction to him.
Attracting him to actively surrender to this "brocade".
Because he had had similar experiences, Meng Zhou immediately pulled himself out of this state as soon as this wonderful sign appeared.
"Huh!" Meng Zhou, who was still frightened, took a deep breath and patted his pounding heart.
He kept telling himself: "Enough, enough, I can't go forward."
"This time, I really can't go forward."
As if to show his attitude and determination, this time, Meng Zhou even stopped practicing the "Wanxiangzhu" that had already entered the Grandmaster realm.
Not only did he stop all activities directly related to practice, Meng Zhou even took the initiative to cut off all the perceptions and thoughts related to practice.
Whenever there were signs of "crossing the line" in his thoughts, Meng Zhou would take the initiative and ruthlessly kill all these "dishonest" thoughts.
In this state, Meng Zhou began his ninety-nine-year-old retreat.
Before this retreat, Meng Zhou's cultivation status was "9645/10,000".
In other words, he only needed to make up the remaining 355 points of cultivation progress, and Meng Zhou's cultivation would reach the limit of Dan.
Judging from his past practice of gaining 720 points of cultivation progress in one retreat, this is a step that can be easily achieved.
He doesn't even need to retreat for a full month to complete it.
This is also the case.
Meng Zhou, who entered a deep state of meditation at midnight on December 30th, would end his retreat at midnight on the 30th of the first lunar month of the new year according to past practice.
But this time, Meng Zhou's retreat lasted only half a month. To be more precise, Meng Zhou officially ended his retreat on the afternoon of the 15th of the first lunar month.
And his cultivation state did not reach the theoretical limit of Dan formation [10,000/10,000], but stayed at [9999/10,000].
This last step, Meng Zhou did not take during this retreat.
…
After ending this half-month retreat, Meng Zhou entered a state of "doing nothing" again.
He did not think about cultivation, nor did he think about "Tianchi Star Mud" and everything related to it, including Bai Zhi and Yaya, he deliberately "sealed" them in the depths of his sea of consciousness...
Not touching everything would make his thoughts serious and solemn, and once touched, his thoughts would uncontrollably ponder everything in depth.
Meng Zhou actively let his thoughts stay at the level of "vulgar", "disordered" and "superficial", and actively accepted the "flooding" of various messy information.
In order to better achieve this effect, Meng Zhou immersed his mind in the "interpretation world", using the vast amount of information in the outer domains of the Eight Wastelands as the prototype, selecting those events with the most dramatic conflicts or comedic effects, and enjoying all of this with the mentality of watching soap operas and entertainment gossip.
One day, when Meng Zhou wanted to select some dark "episodes" from the "interpretation world", he suddenly "accidentally" discovered that the only group of Lihen Sect Jindan in Hongze Wasteland that had not been removed showed some alarming signs of action.
The moment he discovered this clue, Meng Zhou suddenly became alert and woke up.
His vigilance was not due to the changes in the Lihen Sect's formation pills in Hongze Wasteland.
In this regard, Meng Zhou's way of dealing with this was to not only take the initiative to eradicate all the thoughts in his mind that he wanted to continue "getting to the bottom of things", but also took the initiative to "stop" the one hundred and eighty "transparent round mirrors" that were running regularly in the wilderness of Hongze. Some.
Meng Zhou's treatment ends here.
Then, Meng Zhou took the initiative to "change the channel" and continued to "follow dramas".
This state lasted until the middle of the year when Meng Zhou was ninety-nine years old.
End of June.
The "negative energy" that originally took a year to be released, this year, it only took Meng Zhou half a year to completely release it.
Meng Zhou himself didn't know how long it had been since he had such a light and refreshing experience.
In the past, Meng Zhou, in order to maximize the efficiency of his practice, almost always got stuck in a certain limit state every time he went into seclusion.
When the "negative energy" accumulated during the previous round of retreat is released, the next round of retreat begins.
There is barely any gap in between.
Meng Zhou had even forgotten what it was like to be completely relaxed.
Now, with the "negative energy" in his body completely released, from his body to his mind, Meng Zhou felt as if an extremely heavy "sandbag" had been lifted off, making him almost feel that he had already integrated with his body and even his mind.
So, after who knows how many years, Meng Zhou finally enjoyed an unprecedented, relaxed and lazy July.
July is over and it’s August.
August is over and it’s September.
It wasn't until mid-September that Meng Zhou slowly gathered his thoughts that had been scattered for nearly a year.
After harvesting his thoughts, the first thing Meng Zhou paid attention to was the movements of the four Nascent Soul Lords.
Just when Meng Zhou took the initiative to immerse himself in this unprecedented state, the four Nascent Soul Lords also thought of a rare tranquility.
Ever since the Xingxiu Palace ended its lockdown and came back out of the mountain, they had never been so leisurely.
Almost every year, after practicing in the "Xingxiu Tianchi" in the first and second months of February, something would always happen that they had to deal with. If we take into account the various incidents that happened in the eight wastelands of the outer world in other months, everyone will be happy: "Fortunately, there are four of us!"
But this year, it’s amazing!
From the end of the retreat at the end of February to now, not a single annoying thing has happened!
"Eldest Brother" couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that we are very lucky this year."
"Second Senior Sister" and "Fourth Junior Sister" heard this and nodded in agreement with a smile.
In such an atmosphere, Lian Ziling, who lowered his head and frowned, wondering what he was thinking, seemed a little too conspicuous. (End of chapter)
