Li Yi also enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation, since he had scarcely rested a moment after arriving in the Four Seas and Eight Continents. He was either cultivating or combating foes, and even had to battle ghosts at night, until today, with the death of a Gang Refining Expert, all these matters finally came to a real conclusion.
The banquet continued until deep into the night before it dispersed.
Even with Li Yi’s robust physique, he carried a heavy sense of drunkenness, staggered back to his room, and immediately fell asleep,
until the next day at noon, a well-slept Li Yi slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
This sleep was very sound, feeling mentally refreshed and bodily relaxed.
He quickly washed up and then left the room.
After walking around the mansion, he found Zhao Qian in the martial arts field, sitting under a tree in meditation, immersed in Cultivation, trying to become an Evolver.
However, soon, Zhao Qian opened her eyes, a trace of frustration in her gaze.
Clearly, her cultivation had failed.
"Zhao Qian, what’s wrong? Are you stuck at one stage and can’t get past?" Li Yi came over and asked.
Seeing Li Yi, a smile returned to Zhao Qian’s face. She hurriedly stood up and bowed, then said, "Brother Yi, I have progressed to the second step of the Cultivation Method you taught me but can’t get past it. Although I can feel the Cosmic Energy you mentioned, I cannot activate it, and thus can’t absorb it into my body."
"I tried several times, but each time I failed."
She spoke, her face growing somber: "Maybe I don’t have the talent, can’t learn the Cultivation Method you taught."
"Don’t jump to conclusions yet, continue your meditation, and I’ll help guide the Cosmic Energy directly into your body to see if you can absorb it." Li Yi pondered for a moment, then suggested a solution.
"Then Brother Yi, I’ll try again." Zhao Qian, hearing this, immediately nodded, not wanting to let down Li Yi’s good intentions, and resumed her cultivation.
Li Yi quickly sat down beside her, his hands forming a Treasure Seal, and deployed the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill.
The surrounding Cosmic Energy was originally very thin, but with the help of White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill, it gathered, and in just moments, the Cosmic Energy around Zhao Qian’s body became denser, then he mentally guided these energies swiftly into Zhao Qian’s body.
Li Yi did not believe that, with such a massive influx of Cosmic Energy, Zhao Qian couldn’t absorb a bit?
Taking this first step meant opening the doors to cultivation.
Zhao Qian, in her meditation, soon noticed something unusual as the brilliant Cosmic Energy flowed throughout her body like a galaxy, immersing her, giving an indescribable sensation of comfort.
And with each surge of Cosmic Energy, combined with the increasing density of the surrounding energy,
finally, after breaking through a certain threshold, the Cosmic Energy began to merge with the cells in Zhao Qian’s body, slowly infiltrating her system.
Zhao Qian’s doors to cultivation opened, and she successfully became an Evolver.
At that moment, all the cells in Zhao Qian’s body cheered, and she began to continuously absorb the Cosmic Energy.
"It’s successful, Brother Yi, I’ve succeeded." Zhao Qian, thrilled, came out of her meditation.
Li Yi also opened his eyes then, stopped using the White Bone Temple Cultivation Skill, and during this guidance process, he realized something.
No wonder the people in this world couldn’t open the doors to cultivation.
The Cosmic Energy in this world was too sparse, not dense enough, and the Martial Artists’ bodies, having lived in this world for a long time, had reduced sensitivity to Cosmic Energy... in other words, the people of this world had degenerated and were fundamentally incapable of cultivating.
To reopen the doors to cultivation, not only a method was necessary, but also a sufficient density of Cosmic Energy and someone to help guide it. Only under such intense stimulus could the body’s evolutionary gates reopen.
Otherwise, the doors to cultivation would always remain locked, completely unopenable.
"It’s not time to get excited yet, Zhao Qian. You should continue cultivating to see if you can activate the Cosmic Energy into your body without my help." Li Yi said then.
This regained Zhao Qian’s confidence. Now that she had made progress, she immediately adjusted her state and resumed her cultivation.
In no time, she entered the state of meditation again.
Just like before, without any issue, Zhao Qian could feel the Cosmic Energy drifting around her. Although less abundant this time, she tried to mentally guide it and, to her surprise, found the Cosmic Energy could be led into her body by her will and was really being absorbed slowly by her body.
It happened the first time, and the second, the third, the fourth... she really had mastered the Cultivation Method.
And as more attempts were made, the amount of Cosmic Energy she guided increased, and the efficiency of absorption improved as well.
"Brother Yi, I can absorb Cosmic Energy now." Zhao Qian opened her eyes, her eyes bright and her mood exceedingly joyful.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Indeed, the lock on your body’s door to cultivation needed to be opened before you could cultivate properly; otherwise, you would just get stuck at that stage and wouldn’t be able to get past it like before."
