The third volume is named Cangyu Chapter 402 Bottleneck!
This time, he used such an extreme method in the sea of thunder, and even nearly broke himself, but was unable to improve his physical strength at all. Li Xuanfeng realized that his physical strength had reached a bottleneck!
In the world of cultivation, there is a bottleneck, which is a hurdle that prevents countless cultivators from improving their strength.
When one's cultivation reaches a certain level, before breaking through to another level, there will be a phenomenon where no matter how much one practices or absorbs natural treasures, one will not be able to improve any further. This is called a bottleneck!
Because of the emergence of bottlenecks, the cultivation of most cultivators will stagnate for many years, and even spend extremely huge resources to achieve a breakthrough.
However, these cultivators are the lucky ones who have encountered bottlenecks. There are even more unfortunate ones who cannot break through the bottleneck throughout their entire lives, and their cultivation remains stagnant, and they eventually die of old age!
Moreover, during a cultivator's lifetime of practice, bottlenecks will appear more than once!
The limitations of the cultivator's own qualifications, or the limitations of the power of heaven and earth in the area where he lives, as well as the gap between high realms, can all become insurmountable bottlenecks, stopping countless cultivators!
If there is a bottleneck in cultivation, then there will naturally be a bottleneck in physical strength as well!
At this time, Li Xuanfeng had reached a bottleneck . If he could not break through this bottleneck, his physical strength would never be able to increase again!
Li Xuanfeng's expression showed a lot of gloom and helplessness . Originally, he wanted to improve his physical strength to the Spirit God Realm in this sea of thunder, and then enter the center of the sea of thunder to find the Thunder Crystal. However, he did not expect to encounter a bottleneck. His physical strength stagnated at the peak of the Spirit Infant Realm and could not be improved at all.
This was the first bottleneck Li Xuanfeng encountered since his practice . Before that, his practice had been smooth sailing. As long as he had enough accumulation and resources, breaking through would be a piece of cake.
It has to be said that Li Xuanfeng's aptitude for cultivation was indeed extremely amazing. He encountered the first bottleneck only after he reached the Spirit God Realm.
Other cultivators had more or less encountered bottlenecks before reaching the Spirit Infant Realm, but they simply used various methods and resources to break through the bottlenecks.
However, the bottleneck of physical strength is much rarer than that of spiritual power cultivation. At this time, Li Xuanfeng already had some guesses in his mind that it was because he had improved his physical strength too quickly in the past six months, which caused a bottleneck for a while.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng no longer dared to stay in the area where the power of thunder and lightning reached the spiritual god realm, otherwise he would really die here!
While retreating rapidly, Li Xuanfeng once again took out a large amount of healing pills and swallowed them to repair the extremely terrible injuries on his body.
Li Xuanfeng did not stop until he retreated to the area where the power of thunder and lightning was only at the perfection of the Spirit Infant Realm. He began to absorb the power of thunder and lightning here, and then with the help of the medicinal power of the elixir, he tried his best to recover from the injuries in his body.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng looked extremely miserable, almost unrecognizable. There was no intact part of his body, white bones could be seen in many places, and even his appearance could not be distinguished!
Li Xuanfeng's breath was extremely weak, as if he was a dying man who was just hanging on to his last breath!
At this moment, a breath suddenly appeared in the sea of thunder and seemed to sense Li Xuanfeng, and suddenly rushed towards where he was!
This is a young man in a black robe, his body flashing with amazing lightning power, and the aura of cultivation he exudes has already reached the initial stage of the Spirit God Realm!
Sensing the rapid approach of the young man in black, Li Xuanfeng, who was absorbing the power of lightning to recover from his injuries, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the man with a serious expression!
At this moment, Li Xuanfeng's injuries were too serious, and his combat power was greatly reduced. He was probably unable to fight against the cultivators in the early stage of the Spirit God Realm!
In just a few breaths, the young man in black robe came to a hundred feet away from Li Xuanfeng. Seeing his extremely miserable appearance, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
The young man in black robe is a disciple of Yuxian Sect, named Lei Bin, and he is a cultivator with thunder attribute.
Originally, Lei Bin had only reached the perfect level of Spirit Infant Realm. He was extremely surprised to enter the Space of Thunder on his first teleportation in the secret realm.
This space of thunder is a holy place for monks with thunder attributes. Lei Bin entered the Seven-Colored Secret Realm in order to practice in this sea of thunder. He did not expect that the first teleportation in the secret realm would allow him to enter this place as he wished. So he immediately began to absorb the power of thunder and lightning here to practice quietly.
Lei Bin already knew that in the secret realm today, cultivators below the Spirit God Realm no longer had the slightest say, so he directly found a hidden cave in the sea of thunder and secluded himself there for half a year, only emerging from the cave after breaking through to the Spirit God Realm.
After acquiring the cultivation base of the Spirit God Realm, Lei Bin felt much more at ease. He temporarily stopped practicing and continued searching for good fortune in this vast sea of thunder.
Before entering the Colorful Secret Realm, Lei Bin had already heard that there existed amazing fortunes left behind by ancient thunder-attributed masters in the Thunder Sea. If he could find them, his combat power would surely be greatly enhanced!
He has now been searching in the sea of thunder for a full month. Although he has not found any treasures left by the ancient strongmen, he has found quite a few thunder-attributed spiritual treasures, which makes him feel quite satisfied.
Just now, when Lei Bin was approaching this place, he suddenly sensed that the power of thunder and lightning here was experiencing considerable turbulence, so he immediately rushed here to check.
Although Lei Bin had already sensed Li Xuanfeng's extremely miserable appearance through his spiritual perception, he was still quite shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. He never thought that someone could be so seriously injured by the violent power of thunder and lightning and yet still survive!
Just now, Lei Bin sensed that Li Xuanfeng had escaped from the area of thunder and lightning in the Spirit God Realm, but his cultivation was only at the Perfect Spirit Infant Realm. Moreover, because his injuries were too serious, he was even about to fall out of the Perfect Spirit Infant Realm. This made him doubt whether Li Xuanfeng had any decent protective magic weapon!
Lei Bin never thought that Li Xuanfeng had entered the lightning area of the Spirit God Realm on his own. In his opinion, Li Xuanfeng should have been teleported to the depths of the thunder sea and escaped by chance with the help of an excellent protective magic weapon, otherwise he would probably have died!
Li Xuanfeng had already sensed Lei Bin's approach, and while he was recovering from his serious injuries, he kept a close eye on Lei Bin to prevent him from launching a sudden attack!
"My fellow Daoist, hand over all the resources and magic weapons in your possession, and I will not harm your life!" Although Lei Bin was quite curious about the magic weapon in Li Xuanfeng's hand, he did not attack directly. Instead, he burst out with his powerful cultivation and shouted in a deep voice.
Lei Bin is not a bloodthirsty person. If Li Xuanfeng can voluntarily hand over all his resources and magic weapons, he doesn't mind sparing his life.
In Lei Bin's opinion, Li Xuanfeng had only reached the perfect level of Spirit Infant Realm, and was so badly injured that upon hearing his words, he would immediately hand over all his resources, and would even be grateful to him for letting him go.
However, he heard Li Xuanfeng's bloody face utter words that made him feel a little unbelievable: "Don't even think about it!"
After saying these two words, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but grimace, because his injuries were too serious, even speaking affected his injuries, causing him to feel considerable pain.
Because a lot of flesh on his face was shattered, Li Xuanfeng's words were a little unclear. Lei Bin even thought he had misheard and asked again in a cold voice: "Daoyou, what did you say?"
Seeing that the young man in black didn't hear clearly, Li Xuanfeng was too lazy to speak, so as not to involve the wound again, and directly used his spiritual consciousness to transmit the sound: "You want Li to hand over the resources? It's just wishful thinking!"
Lei Bin heard the voice transmission very clearly through his spiritual consciousness. He instantly realized that he did not mishear, but that what Li Xuanfeng said was indeed the word "don't even think about it"!
Lei Bin felt extremely unbelievable for a moment. How could a Spirit Infant Realm cultivator who was so badly injured by the power of thunder and lightning dare to challenge him, a Spirit God Realm cultivator?
Could it be that his brain has been damaged by lightning, or that he doesn't want to live anymore?
But Lei Bin quickly retracted his thoughts, and his cultivation exploded instantly. He suddenly suppressed Li Xuanfeng and said in an extremely cold tone: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. In this case, Lei will give you a ride!"
As he spoke, Lei Bin immediately mobilized a large amount of thunder and lightning power from the sea of thunder and gathered it, preparing to condense magic to attack Li Xuanfeng!
But at this moment, Li Xuanfeng raised his right hand and used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice and shouted loudly: "Wait!"
After hearing this, Lei Bin stopped the magic he was concentrating on and looked at Li Xuanfeng in confusion, wondering if this man had suddenly gotten smart and realized that he could not be his opponent and was ready to beg for mercy?
"My fellow Daoist, Li's injuries are so serious now. Even if you win the attack, wouldn't it be a bit unfair?" Li Xuanfeng used his spiritual consciousness to transmit the voice.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's words, Lei Bin was instantly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect Li Xuanfeng to say such words after calling for a stop. He was a little suspicious whether this person had been living in a dream and actually said the word "unfair victory" in such a cruel world of cultivation.
"So what do you want to do?" Lei Bin asked curiously.
"Let me recover all the injuries in my body, and then we can have a fair fight!" Li Xuanfeng transmitted the message again.
Hearing the words transmitted by Li Xuanfeng, Lei Bin's expression of being at a loss for words instantly became more intense. He thought to himself, even if I let you recover from all your injuries, what use is it? You are only at the perfect level of Spirit Infant Realm, and there is no way you can compete with him at the Spirit God Realm!
Although Lei Bin had already seen from Li Xuanfeng's bloody body that his physical strength was quite strong, he was only at the perfect Spirit Infant Realm. Even if his combat power was quite good, he could not catch up with him who had reached the Spirit God Realm.
At this moment, Lei Bin couldn't help but feel that this seriously injured monk in front of him was somewhat interesting, and an idea emerged in his mind to tease him, so he laughed and said: "Okay, Lei, I will let you recover from your injuries and see what tricks you can come up with!"
After saying this, Lei Bin rushed forward directly and entered the Thunder Sea area where the power of thunder and lightning reached the spiritual realm. He leisurely absorbed the power of thunder and lightning to practice, while his spiritual consciousness was locked on Li Xuanfeng to prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape.
Seeing that Lei Bin actually agreed to let him recover from his injuries, even Li Xuanfeng was extremely surprised that someone would actually believe his somewhat unreasonable words...
Originally, Li Xuanfeng just said it casually and did not hold out any hope that Lei Bin would agree.
However, even if Lei Bin did not agree and attacked directly, Li Xuanfeng would not be afraid at all!
Although he was so seriously injured that he could hardly withstand the attacks of the early stage of the Spirit God Realm, Li Xuanfeng was able to hide in the Purple Destruction Protection Ball and recover from his injuries very comfortably!
With the powerful protective power of the Purple Destruction Protection Ball, the attacks from the early stage of the Spirit God Realm could not cause any harm to Li Xuanfeng at all.
However, that would expose the amazing power of the Purple Destruction Stick, and would inevitably attract the attention of Lei Bin and other cultivators.
