In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 13 The Early Bird Catches the Early Bird!

Yun Gui could never have imagined that Xie Lingxin had already broken through one level of the Heavenly Barrier.

"So that's it..."

Although Xie Lingxin knew that she had condensed her consciousness, she didn't think it was anything special because it was so simple.

After undergoing the root capacity test and listening to Yun Gui's words, I really think that my aptitude is not that good.

However, he was not discouraged; instead, he resolved to work even harder.

Bai Ruhui's expression was somewhat strange.

The first hurdle in cultivating one's character is that breaking through it can happen in an instant; that's quite true.

But the prerequisite is a strong family background, abundant resources, and talent that needs to be cultivated from a young age, laying a very deep foundation both physically and mentally, so that one can accumulate strength and break through in one fell swoop.

In fact, it's already quite good to be able to pass the level before adulthood.

It takes more than a decade of accumulation to create that fleeting moment.

The cause and effect of both must not be reversed.

He knew that Yun Gui meant that he didn't want Xie Lingxin to become complacent, as haste makes waste, and wanted him to cultivate in peace and with a steady pace.

But this is going too far...

Xie Lingxin, however, believed it.

With the help of the Great Emperor's Sutra Diagram, it took about ten days to condense his consciousness.

My innate talent is probably not very good, which is why it took me so long.

Others, however, only experience it "in a moment".

With such a huge gap, how can we not work hard?

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Bai Ruhui's wide sleeves.

That spiritual pearl and the incense for fetal breathing are truly wonderful things. He felt that with their assistance, his cultivation efficiency increased several times over.

Those geniuses from wealthy and powerful families, with both natural talent and such precious cultivation resources, must find cultivation incredibly easy.
I'm not naturally gifted, and my external conditions aren't good either. How am I supposed to make a living?

I still need to work hard to earn money!
Even a slow bird can start flying!

While Xie Lingxin was lost in thought, the others were also not at peace.

Who is this kid? How did he manage to master the "Guardian of Oneness" technique so easily?
Everyone learned together, and with the help of Bai Ruhui and Yun Gui, although the duration of their meditation varied, they were all roughly the same.

Why are you different?
Some people began to doubt Xie Lingxin's background, wondering if she came from some powerful clan.
I've heard that some geniuses from large clans can even reach the pinnacle of cultivation before they've even come into contact with legendary power.

Once they are led to the legendary realm and come into contact with the power of legend, they will be able to break through their limits and condense their consciousness.

It's not surprising that they could achieve this level of success.

Despite the doubts, no one really thought Xie Lingxin was capable of such a thing; such geniuses only existed in truly powerful and influential families.

The Federation is filled with numerous clans, as numerous as the stars in the sky.

However, there are very few clans that can be called aristocratic families; even if you count all nine planets, there are not many.

How could it appear in a place like this?

"Hey buddy, what's your name?"

A whisper came from beside Xie Lingxin.

He turned his head and found a boy who was about the same age as him.

She has delicate features, and her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth always seem to be smiling.

He's a very sunny and handsome person.

"Xie Lingxin".

"My name is Yang Guang! Let's be friends!"

You really are called Sunshine?

Xie Lingxin took his outstretched hand with a strange look in her eyes.

"Surname Xie? There doesn't seem to be any large Xie clan in Leizhou?"

Yang Guang muttered to himself, "I know all the prominent families on Far East Star, and none of them have the surname Xie. Could it be that they're pretending to be weak while actually being strong, changing their names and using that old trick of the White Dragon Fish Disguise? I've heard that the scions of these powerful families love that kind of thing..."

Xie Lingxin: "...You can speak louder, or you can just ask me directly."

Yang Guang then suddenly realized: "Oh right, what's your real name?"

“...Li Baba”.

Yang Guang: "..."

Xie Lingxin ignored him, and after choking him to death, she eagerly turned to Bai Ruhui with a thirst for knowledge and asked, "Please instruct me, teacher, on how to visualize the 'Carrying the Mountain' painting!"

I will work hard!

I want to improve!

Bai Ruhui nodded secretly.

He is exceptionally talented, humble, studious, and diligent—truly a promising talent.

He initially allowed Xie Lingxin into his training class because of Jin Su's kindness; otherwise, given Xie Lingxin's circumstances, even if she could afford the money, she might not have been able to see him.

Now she is completely satisfied with Xie Lingxin and really wants to take him into her family.

He then spoke up, interrupting the discussion: "Alright, you don't need to be discouraged. Everyone has different talents and abilities, and there are also differences in natural talent. This is something that cannot be changed." "But diligence can make up for shortcomings. As long as you are diligent and attentive, you can also achieve something. There is no need to compete with him."

Bai Ruhui dared not openly praise Xie Lingxin, otherwise all the newly recruited students would be discouraged.

"You have already experienced the 'Method of Guarding Oneness,' so next, try guarding oneness and focusing your mind, visualizing the 'Mountain Carrying Picture.'"

He looked at Xie Lingxin and said, "There's no need to feel pressured, and there's no need to be impatient. You won't be able to successfully visualize it in a short time."

"Follow the method of guarding the one, practice diligently every day, and those of you with the best aptitude will see results after a month."

"Now, I will guide you with the power of my mind."

“Remember the twelve-character mantra: ‘Subdue the mind, break through illusions, and the spirits can be subdued.’”

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their attention.

No matter how powerful Xie Lingxin is, it has nothing to do with them.

Those who can afford to spend a lot of money to come to the Nanhe Club and invite a master like Bai Ruhui to teach them, apart from Xie Lingxin, must come from extraordinary families and are themselves exceptional.

The money spent was the least important thing to them.

Bai Ruhui was a famous spiritual master, but his classes were not easily accessible.

Besides money, you also need something that can catch the eye of someone as obscure as a ghost.

This is a rare opportunity; how can we let it slip by because of others?
Following the method of guarding the one, when they looked at the "Carrying the Mountain" painting again, although it was still shrouded in clouds and mist, making it difficult to see its true appearance, they seemed to have a different feeling.

A vast and gentle feeling enveloped them.

It's as if a giant hand is supporting a small boat adrift on the sea, so it has no fear of losing its way or being invaded by external evils.

Xie Lingxin also felt this immense power, which was Bai Ruhui's spiritual power.

Immediately straighten your mind and mind.

The consciousness sits cross-legged on a small patch of earth within the sea of ​​consciousness, with its five hearts facing the sky, exactly the same as the original body.

Chaos surged all around, and two "pearls," one gold and one jade, slowly appeared above their heads, radiating light.

They used their eyes as the sun and moon.

Xie Lingxin kept her eyelids closed and did not look at the "Carrying the Mountain" painting.

But when the sun and moon are overhead, they illuminate both eyes.

The image of carrying mountains had already been imprinted in my mind.

Within the confines of the mind, the conscious spirit's gaze shines brightly, reflecting the image of a hunched old monkey.

There is no longer the situation where I couldn't remember anything as soon as I closed my eyes.

With the sun and moon shining overhead, every detail of the mind is revealed, and all mysteries have nowhere to hide.

Like peeling back layers of a cocoon, the secrets of the hunchbacked old monkey are gradually revealed.

The old monkey is moving...

The hunched back slowly straightened, and the hair on its body gradually became finer and smoother.

In an instant, the old monkey turned into a little monkey.

The painting was originally empty except for the monkey, but now it has suddenly become lush and green, with dense forests and exotic flowers in full bloom.

There is a dazzling array of sights, so many that they are overwhelming and bring joy to the eyes.

As the vision in the mind's eye becomes more complete, the mind's sea of ​​consciousness also changes accordingly.

A scene of myriad things in the mountains and forests, with monkeys playing frolicking, appeared.

The little monkeys sometimes leaped in the trees, sometimes ran on the ground, and their playful figures could be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests.

Xie Lingxin recalled what the basic visualization method online course she had bought before had mentioned.

With the six senses in disarray and thoughts in turmoil, one is like a monkey entering the forest, bewildered by all things, restless and unrestrained.

The first step in spiritual practice is to subdue the six senses.

This is the same thing as what Bai Ruhui just said about breaking through mental barriers and calming the mind.

Subdue your mind and break through illusions, and you can subdue the spirits!

This monkey is a deity born from contemplating the "Carrying the Mountain" painting.

Restrain it, subdue it!
How can we subdue it?
Rope lock!

In the painting "Carrying the Mountain," there is a rope wrapped around the monkey's body.

Xie Lingxin focused her mind and gradually visualized and sketched the rope lock in her sea of ​​consciousness.

It gradually manifested in the monkey, from the unseen to the real.

"Squeak!"

The monkey seemed to only then realize that it was entangled in the rope, but it was too late.

The other end of the rope was firmly held in Xie Lingxin's hand by her mental visualization.

No matter how much the monkey bared its teeth and struggled in fury, it could not budge it an inch.

He was tightly bound beneath the body of consciousness.

At this moment, it is exactly the same as the one depicted in the "Carrying the Mountain" painting.
