"Sigh!"
In the book world. A disappointed sigh was heard. An ordinary-looking young man with a wooden expression had failed again. This was the eighty-first time he had failed in the past three years. Even though Han Feng was mentally tough, he was still surrounded by despair.
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth. He shook his head and looked at his hand. Could it be that his aptitude was really that bad?
Han Feng clenched his fists tightly. His fingernails had already dug deep into his flesh, but he did not seem to feel any pain at all.
Han Feng was twenty-two years old this year and had been in this book world for three years. In three years, if it was in the mortal cultivation world, the cultivators of the same generation would have already reached the middle stage of the Qi Refinement realm. There were even monstrous geniuses with outstanding talent who had already entered the late stage of the fifth level and entered the sixth level. However, he was still wandering around the first level. Han Feng's progress was so slow, not because he didn't work hard enough. On the contrary, his efforts were second to none among his peers. When others practiced the technique once, he practiced it three times. When others meditated for two hours, he practiced it for six hours. However, the gains from such hard work were pitifully little. He was left far behind by everyone. Han Feng's heart was filled with a sense of defeat.
He learned from his ancestors that cultivation was divided into nine stages: Qi Refinement Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Core Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Soul Formation Stage, Soul Separation Stage, Body Integration Stage, Tribulation Passing Stage, and Great Vehicle Stage. Each stage was divided into nine levels. The first, second, and third levels were the early stage, the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels were the middle stage, the seventh and eighth levels were the late stage, and the ninth level was called the Great Perfection Stage. As long as one broke through the bottleneck, they could enter the next stage.
Although the Immortal Dao was difficult, it was also a process of progression from the shallow to the deep. For example, the first two levels of the Qi Refining Stage were only considered rudimentary. The first level could be completed in two months for those with good aptitude, and three to five months for those with poor aptitude. Unfortunately, this was only for those with spiritual roots.
Spirit root was a name in the cultivation world. As for what it referred to, there was no precise description for tens of thousands of years. It was only known that the cultivation speed of those with spirit root was much faster than that of ordinary people without spirit root. In other words, theoretically speaking, it was not impossible for ordinary people to cultivate. It was just that they would get half the results with twice the effort…No, it should be that they would not get half the results even if they put in ten times the effort.
To put it simply, it was a thankless task.
Unfortunately, Han Feng was an ordinary person who had been cursed by the Heavenly Dao and lost his spiritual roots.
Originally, for an ordinary person like him who had no spiritual roots, even if he wanted to embark on the path of cultivation, no sect would be willing to accept him. However, Han Feng's situation was rather special.
For three years, Han Feng had never slacked off in his cultivation. He practiced in winter and summer. He had put in more effort than his peers. Even so, he was still far behind his peers.
In the pursuit of the immortal path, aptitude was even more important. It was difficult to make up for it with just hard work!
For example, when he was breaking through recently, Han Feng felt that his power had already reached the peak of the first level. He was only a little bit away from the second level of the Qi Disciple stage. However, this small gap was like a huge chasm. No matter how hard Han Feng tried, he could not cross it.
After a long time, Han Feng loosened his clenched fist and let out a breath. It was as if he was trying to get rid of the depression in his heart. He sat down cross-legged again and performed the Inner Vision technique…
Inner vision was a small spell in the cultivation world that could check the circulation of spiritual energy in one's dantian and meridians. It was an auxiliary spell that was only used during cultivation.
There was nothing in his dantian. The only thing that existed was a faint green gas. This was the legendary spiritual power.
However, there wasn't much of it, and it was very thin. This was because Han Feng's power was relatively low.
The so-called cultivation was to go against the heavens. To go against the heavens, one had to have great divine powers. In this process, one had to go through various hardships to control the five elements, absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, refine it, and finally use it for oneself.
This trace of spiritual energy was what Han Feng had obtained from his three years of cultivation. Of course, compared to his fellow disciples, it was much less. Because he did not have a spiritual root, his cultivation path was far more difficult than his fellow disciples.
Under the effect of his divine sense, the threads of spiritual power began to gather and intertwine together. Originally, each thread of spiritual power was only as thick as a hair, but as time passed, it gathered into a thread of spiritual power about the thickness of a pinky finger.
White steam emerged from Han Feng's head, and his entire body was soaked in sweat. Just the process of gathering spiritual energy had already exhausted him. As expected, ordinary people's cultivation was filled with thorns.
His breathing became heavier, but Han Feng's expression didn't change at all. After three years, he was already used to it.
After gathering the spiritual power, Han Feng's expression did not relax at all. He carefully released his divine sense and controlled the spiritual power to flow out of his dantian and enter his meridians according to the mental cultivation method taught by the Han family's ancestor.
For cultivators, the dantian was the foundation for storing spiritual energy. The eight extraordinary meridians were also very important. When spiritual energy circulated from head to toe in the eight extraordinary meridians, it was called a circulation.
Every time he did this cycle, his spiritual power would increase a little. Although it was very small, it would accumulate. If he did this cycle a few times a day, his spiritual power would gradually grow.
Of course, there were countless cultivation techniques in the world of cultivation. Every sect had a different path to complete the Great Heavenly Cycle, and the effects were also very different.
Although the Great Heavenly Cycle was a compulsory course for every cultivator, it was not as easy as the outside world imagined. It could even be said to be very difficult.
There was no need to worry about the flow of spiritual energy. The sect's mental cultivation method had already explained it very clearly. As long as one followed it, it would be fine. However, the speed of the flow needed to be explored by oneself. There was no other reason than that everyone's meridians were different.
Some people had strong meridians and strong endurance. Not only could they accommodate more spiritual energy, but it was also not a problem for them to flow faster. Some people had weaker meridians, but the situation was completely the opposite. Generally speaking, the better the spiritual root, the stronger the meridians, and vice versa.
Han Feng was just an ordinary person without spiritual roots. Therefore, he needed to expend more energy and time to complete the Great Circulation.
He had to be careful with every step. If he was too fast, not only would he not be able to complete the cycle smoothly, but he would also damage his meridians. In the past three years, Han Feng had suffered a lot from the damage to his meridians. Every time he recuperated, it would take a long time. As an ordinary person without a spiritual root, it was difficult for him to keep up with his fellow disciples even if he worked hard. How could he have any time to waste?
Han Feng carefully controlled the speed at which his spiritual energy flowed. Fortunately, he was very clear about the endurance of his meridians after repeated attempts.
An hour later, the circulation was completed, and the spiritual power returned to the dantian from the meridians.
Han Feng checked with his internal vision. A trace of haze flashed in his eyes. He had already worked so hard, but his cultivation level had not changed. Logically speaking, after performing a large circulation, his spiritual power should have increased more or less. It seemed that he could only pause his cultivation and ask his ancestor about the situation.
