Chapter 60: First Arrival at Lingquan Town
Nezha travelled by day and cultivated by night, smoothly transitioning from the Inspiration Realm to the God Absorption Realm, without any hindrance.
When it came time to condense his Golden Core, he truly encountered the first threshold on the path of cultivation.
Mr. Fan lingered at this threshold for thirty years without finding the method and ultimately gave up.
Li Jing, too, was blocked by this threshold, abandoning the path of cultivation to instead seek earthly wealth.
Shi Ji also said that the deeper one obsesses over the Golden Core Technique, the farther one strays from truly entering its gate.
For the first time in his life, Nezha experienced the bloody slaughter of today, stirring emotions he thought were signs of an imminent breakthrough, so he sat down cross-legged by the fire.
After consuming an Inspiration Creation Pill, his mind suddenly cleared as the elixir dissolved.
He closed his eyes, and it seemed like there were several high monks around him chanting sutras, their echoes lingering, reminiscent of the temple sceneries from his past life.
For a moment, his mind wandered, but then he quickly refocused under the influence of the elixir’s power.
The Inspiration Creation Pills, acquired from Ao Bing, were specifically used for such moments, to maintain clarity of body and mind amidst any troubles, grasping the fleeting inspiration.
