Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 279 Opening the Sea of ​​Suffering

After Yuan Changqing recovered the magic power he had previously used up, he opened his eyes again.

"My mana has been restored. Now, let's start the breakthrough. Let's try to break through in one go and open up the sea of ​​suffering." Yuan Changqing took a deep breath and said to himself.

Then, Yuan Changqing closed his eyes again and continued to circulate the Five Elements Scripture, absorbing the star power transmitted by the Blue Silver Emperor.

At this moment, although Yuan Changqing had long sensed the Wheel of Life in the Sea of ​​Wheels, he still needed to constantly sense it in order to break through and open up the Sea of ​​Suffering.

As Yuan Changqing cultivated, the magical power within his body continuously impacted the Sea of ​​Bitterness. After a period of persistent effort, the Sea of ​​Bitterness finally underwent some changes.

A tiny crack finally appeared at the edge of the sea of ​​suffering; this was the very edge of a breakthrough.

Yuan Changqing intended to break through in one fell swoop this time. If he failed to break through this time, although he could still break through in the future, the difficulty would be much greater.

I knew then that this was just like a military campaign; to achieve victory, you had to press on with one decisive move.

As the cracks in the Sea of ​​Bitterness multiplied, Yuan Changqing relentlessly used his magical power to break through them.

Time passed slowly, and although the cracks in the Sea of ​​Bitterness were increasing, they could not be broken through. Yuan Changqing was starting to get anxious.

Yuan Changqing understood the principle that one should strike while the iron is hot, but then the momentum will wane, and the momentum will weaken after a third attempt. If he couldn't break through this time, he didn't know when he would be able to do so in the future.

Just when Yuan Changqing thought he could no longer break through, a turning point appeared. As the time it took to break through grew longer and longer, Yuan Changqing thought he could no longer make a breakthrough.

In the starry sky, just as the bright moon was about to disappear and the sun was about to rise, the scene of the sun and moon shining together appeared again.

At this time, the forces of Yin and Yang rotate. As the saying goes, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Two is Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Five Elements, and the Five Elements combine to create Yin and Yang.

As the Yin and Yang forces appeared in the sky, the Yin and Yang forces drawn by the Blue Silver Emperor directly impacted the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

"Boom!"

Yuan Changqing heard a booming sound from within his body, and the Sea of ​​Bitterness was officially opened.

Looking at the sea of ​​suffering that had opened up inside his body, which was the size of a grain of rice and emitted five-colored light, Yuan Changqing realized that his physique was unusual, but he still did not know what kind of physique it was.

At the place where Yuan Changqing broke through, five-colored light emanated from his body, appearing in red, white, yellow, black, and blue.

The five-colored light grew brighter and brighter as Yuan Changqing made his breakthrough, and the five colors constantly alternated and changed, creating a truly beautiful sight.

Meanwhile, five colors swirled within Yuan Changqing's sea of ​​bitterness, a phenomenon that occurred after his breakthrough.

This strange phenomenon shows that Yuan Changqing is also one of those with a special physique. However, no such phenomenon has been found in the original novel of Shrouding the Heavens.

Yuan Changqing felt that the five-colored phenomena in his sea of ​​suffering were the five elements, which matched the Five Elements Scripture he cultivated. Could it be that he had a five-element constitution?

Then, Yuan Changqing thought of the last Five Elements Soul Ring he had in Douluo Continent, although the Blue Silver Emperor no longer had any Soul Rings.

However, since there have been instances of this, perhaps my physical constitution also plays a role.

If we know that the Blue Silver Emperor is also a part of Yuan Changqing, then it makes sense that there are five-colored phenomena in his own sea of ​​suffering.

Fortunately, the generation of Yin and Yang power later allowed Yuan Changqing to successfully escape the sea of ​​suffering, which can be considered as officially embarking on the path of cultivation.

At this moment, Yuan Changqing was also constantly consolidating the sea of ​​suffering he had just opened up. When he opened his eyes again, he smelled a foul odor on his body.

Then, seeing that his skin was covered with a layer of black substance, Yuan Changqing knew that this was the toxins and impurities in his body over the past twenty years, with traces of black blood on it.

Seeing this, one knows that after this expulsion from the sea of ​​suffering, it is equivalent to undergoing a marrow cleansing ritual, expelling impurities and toxins from the body.

Now, Yuan Changqing can feel his body is much lighter. He believes that with continued cultivation, the impurities and toxins still deep in his body will be gradually expelled, thus achieving a body without impurities.

Yuan Changqing's magical power surged, and the dirt adhering to his skin was also removed. Then, he took out the clothes he had stored in his storage ring and changed into clean clothes inside and out.

After the sea of ​​suffering was opened, Yuan Changqing was now able to use some magic techniques, and he even experimented with them, but they were all related to the Five Elements.

Seeing that it was already bright outside and that he had broken through to the Bitter Sea Realm, Yuan Changqing decided to return.

...

After Yuan Changqing returned to Beijing, since it was already past his workday, he didn't rush to work or go straight back to the courtyard house.

After returning to the city, Yuan Changqing found a bathhouse, intending to wash himself off and get rid of the lingering odor before heading back.

When Yuan Changqing returned to the courtyard, he saw the third aunt sitting in the yard doing some needlework.

"Changqing, isn't it working hours now? Why are you back?" the third aunt asked curiously.

Yuan Changqing said, half-truthfully, "Third Aunt, I had something to do, so I took leave."

Yuan Changqing had reminded Zeng Li before he went to break through, so Yuan Dongfang would naturally help him ask for leave.

The third aunt said, "Then if you have something to do, go ahead and do your thing."

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Then, Auntie, you can continue with your needlework."

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing returned to his home and found that Zeng Li was not home either, so he assumed that Zeng Li had gone out.

After Yuan Changqing waited at home for a while, Zeng Li also returned from outside. Judging from the eggs and vegetables she was carrying, it seemed she had gone to the market.

Upon seeing Yuan Changqing return, Zeng Li immediately asked, "Husband, have you broken through and returned to normal?"

Yuan Changqing replied with a smile, "Not bad, it was a breakthrough that was close but safe."

Then, in front of Zeng Li, Yuan Changqing conjured simple Five Elements spells such as small fireballs and small waterballs in his hands, constantly changing them.

When Zeng Li saw it, his eyes widened in surprise. Although he had been mentally prepared, he was still quite shocked when he actually saw it.

Zeng Li said excitedly, "Honey, this is truly amazing."

Yuan Changqing said, "It's nothing. You'll be able to do it after you break through in the future."

Speaking of this, Zeng Li also felt a little discouraged and said, "Husband, I still don't know when I will be able to break through. Just like you said, there is no spiritual energy in the outside world. I can only absorb a wisp of Eastern Purple Qi every day."

Seeing this, Yuan Changqing comforted her, "Wife, don't worry. I'll think of a way later and make sure that you, Yue'er, and Mom and Dad can all embark on the path of cultivation."

"What you need to do now is to lay a solid foundation. When I find the resources for cultivation later, you will be able to get started more quickly."

"Furthermore, as you know, I've collected books on runes specifically for setting up formations. I'll also study them to see if I can set up formations at home to assist you and your parents in your cultivation."

"Besides, you've all experienced the benefits of absorbing that wisp of Eastern Purple Qi every day."

"This will not only prolong your life, but also nourish your soul. The stronger your soul, the faster and clearer you will be when you sense the wheel of life in the future."

After hearing this, Zeng Li said, "Honey, it's nothing. I was just venting because I saw that you've already broken through, while I can't cultivate. I'm afraid the gap between us will widen in the future."

Yuan Changqing nodded, hugged Zeng Li, and said, "Don't worry about these things. Although you can't cultivate yet, we'll make up for it in other ways. You can read the ancient books I've collected when you have free time. It will be beneficial for your future cultivation."

"Our cultivation cannot just be about practicing; we also need to experience and comprehend. So where does this all begin? This requires the accumulation of knowledge."

"Therefore, by studying the ancient texts left by those Taoist practitioners, we can gain insight into the wisdom they have given us."

"In the future, when we cultivate ourselves, we will be able to supplement this wisdom into the Dao we have come to understand, learn from its strengths and make up for its weaknesses, discard its dross and retain its essence."

"Moreover, the wisdom contained in the ancient texts is actually the Tao they have come to understand, and the Tao that each of us understands is different, which is why we need to learn from each other."

"After all, there's a saying that goes, 'The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade,' which means exactly that."

"The Tao is profound and complex; it takes a lifetime to comprehend it, and we may not even be able to fully comprehend it in a lifetime."

"Then, now you can take advantage of your time to read those ancient books as much as possible. Even if we can't understand the principles in them now, when we cultivate and our strength is high, the Dao in these ancient books may be able to provide you with some help."

Zeng Li nodded and said, "Husband, I will remember what you said. But what you said is true. After reading these ancient books, there are some things that I really don't understand if you don't explain them to me!"

"Moreover, I recognize all the individual characters, but when they are put together, their meaning becomes very difficult to understand."

"Furthermore, these ancient texts are not the same as modern vernacular Chinese, so you have to punctuate them yourself, and with different punctuation, the meanings they convey are also different, which can be really difficult to understand at times."

Yuan Changqing laughed and said, "This is the wisdom of the ancients. A sentence can have its meaning constantly changed by punctuating it in different ways."

"It's just like the Tao; everyone understands it differently, so the Tao they come to understand will naturally be different."

"Therefore, even if the Tao is something that needs to be understood by oneself, what belongs to others will ultimately remain just that—someone else's."

"Therefore, we must also know that only by comprehending our own path can we go further on the path of cultivation."

"There's a saying, 'Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die.' What does that mean?"

"In other words, those who learn from me may succeed, but those who only know how to imitate without innovation will definitely fail."

"So, this shows that we can learn from others, but we can't just blindly copy them."

"After all, what belongs to others will always belong to others; only what is your own is truly suitable for you. The same principle applies to the Tao."

"Okay, I understand. I'll keep what you said in mind," Zeng Li nodded and said.

Then she asked, "Honey, when did you get back?"

"It wasn't long. I had just come back and sat for a while when you returned," Yuan Changqing replied.

Zeng Li then asked, "It's not too late now, so are you going to work at the factory later?"

"You told Dad I wasn't here this morning, right?" Yuan Changqing asked.

"Yes, you reminded me yesterday. I told Dad when you didn't come back this morning," Zeng Li replied.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Then I'll rest at home for a day and go tomorrow. Anyway, Dad will give me leave."

"Okay, fine."
