Chapter 75 : The Tragedy In The Bathtub (2)
Xie Jianyu’s eyes were closed as he lay at the bottom of the bathtub, submerged a few chis underwater. Not a single sound penetrated his surroundings. The bath salts imbued the water with natural spiritual power that gently wrapped itself around Xie Jianyu’s body.
A few tiny bubbles escaped his lips when he chanted a few spells. These spells worked to capture the natural spiritual power that swirled inside the bath water.
Xie Jianyu sucked the spiritual power into his golden core, let it circulate through his body, and expelled the excess power that he was unable to digest properly.
When encountering a bottleneck in cultivation, all cultivators shared similar experiences. They were walking, or even running past a smooth path when they suddenly stood before a thick wall.
This thick wall’s presence was unexpected. It refused to budge no matter what. Pushing, kicking, punching, nothing helped. The ones who tried got repelled backward again and again.
The only thing that helped when facing a bottleneck was looking inward. The thick walls were nothing but a manifestation of the cultivators’ insecurities, fear, laziness, and many other weaknesses that hindered said cultivators from unfolding their entire potential.
As he meditated under the calm water, Xie Jianyu rediscovered himself again. He recalled everything he had done from childhood up until now. His journey as he cultivated the path of swordsmanship was remarkable, but it was also full of unimaginable sufferings.
Right now, this wall was there because Xie Jianyu’s self-confidence suffered a lot recently. He felt like he was not good enough. That he was always going to be inferior to a certain omega.
No, he told himself.
He must stop thinking like an omega.
He was going to stand on the same platform as other alphas. Alphas must never look down on themselves.
