Chapter 135
Back at the inn, Xu Ming sat down and began to meditate, observing himself inwardly.
For the past few days, Xu Ming had felt a strange sensation, as if something inside him was about to break free.
At noon, he had mentioned this to Qin Qingwan, who had happily told him, “You’re about to break through!”
However, she advised him not to rush.
For cultivators, the Cave Mansion Realm was the first major threshold. If the first breakthrough failed, the consequences could be disastrous: at worst, the soul could scatter, and the body perish; at best, one would forever lose the chance to enter the Cave Mansion Realm, with their cultivation stagnating for life.
Qin Qingwan had invited Xu Ming to Tianxuan Sect, offering to help him with his breakthrough.
While Xu Ming didn’t refuse, he hadn’t agreed either. He was reluctant to rely on Qin Qingwan for help; otherwise, he’d feel like he was freeloading off her.
As the hour of Shen passed its midpoint, Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes, his clothes soaked with sweat.
After a bath in the inn’s bathhouse, Xu Ming returned to his room, only to see the jade token Qin Qingwan had given him glowing faintly.
