Chapter 163: Unable to Break Through
The times are rapidly changing, and people are constantly finding better new things and discarding outdated ones. The outdated and antiquated thing in question is cultivation.
People gradually see becoming a cultivator as a foolish choice and decide to live a good life, then continue to be reformers and live on.
In the eyes of an ordinary person, that thinking isn’t wrong because becoming a cultivator means imprisoning oneself for countless years. How long exactly, they don’t know, but in the past two centuries, the few cultivators in the forbidden areas have hardly come out.
Moreover, they show no signs of coming out soon. Therefore, ordinary people can rightly say that those cultivators have been imprisoned for over two hundred years.
"Life is full of colors, there are so many things to experience, so why suffer like that?"
That is also the thinking of many people in an overly developed society where survival is not difficult unless one participates in survival challenges.
Honestly, comparing cyborg to becoming a cultivator, cyborg have a complete advantage over ordinary people. Cyborg are born to protect humans, giving them more time to experience the joys of life.
On the other hand, cultivators are a bunch of people with strange ambitions. The more they cultivate, it’s like an invisible wheel pushing a heap of responsibilities onto their heads.
Clearly, they happily accept those responsibilities, but there are still a few determined not to bear any responsibilities.
In short, no matter how times change, only madmen dare to step onto the true path of cultivation.
In the past century, scientists, with their specimens, have researched and asked cultivators in the capital area about dark energy.
They have also requested blood and even conducted surgeries to take parts of cultivators’ skin for research, but the results have been unremarkable.
The only result they obtained after thousands of tries is that the higher the level of a cultivator’s cells, the more different and powerful they are. But they found no trace of dark energy.
They even pulled a group to the national park to ask Chu Wu if he could condense a dark energy orb for them to test.
Chu Wu, seeing his descendants so eager to learn, was happy to help wholeheartedly. Even with the assistance, the scientists were completely helpless because this dark energy in its basic form truly did not affect any natural matter or energy.
Not giving up there, they also experimented by examining the body of a cultivator in the process of cultivating.
The results were nothing special. They observed the body remained normal until the breakthrough, at which point the cells of the cultivator’s body suddenly all became stronger.
They were very determined to create powerful cultivators in a short time but were defeated because this so-called dark energy could only be sensed by cultivators in the energy-gathering realm.
Beyond that, regardless of equipment, intuition, eyes, or anything else humans had, nothing could observe it.
But humanity is not one to give up easily. They have been researching this for over a century.
Although they haven’t obtained any useful results, they still have faith. They believe that one day they will be able to use dark energy to create weapons, spaceships, cultivators, and more.
.....
At this moment on Kunlun Mountain, a young man was feeling extremely frustrated. He was none other than Jun Wu Xiao. He ruffled his hair and cursed:
"Damn it, what did I do wrong? Why do I feel so clearly that my body has reached the limit of absorbing dark energy, but I can’t take the next step? It’s been days, and I haven’t seen any progress."
It wasn’t that he lacked patience or couldn’t wait a few days. For nearly a century, he had almost sat in one place without complaining, but the current issue was very perplexing.
He felt that everything in his body was still normal, his connections were still normal, but he didn’t understand why he couldn’t take another step forward.
Reluctantly, he had only one last option. He said:
"Let’s invite Gu Zhou Jian out. Anyway, her property papers and bank accounts mean she has more money than others. Besides, having more people and the generational gap might lead to her suggesting something that could help me break through. Oh, and let’s invite Yue Guang to come along too. It’s been a long time since I went anywhere with her."
Thinking this, he immediately went to find his two path companions to accompany him (though it was more accurate to say he was looking for help in finding a breakthrough opportunity). Since he was closer to Yue Guang, he decided to visit her first.
She was in seclusion cultivating at that time, but sensing his approach, she came out to ask:
"You’re already on the verge of a breakthrough, so why are you here? Is there some problem?"
Her question was entirely reasonable. For a cultivator, breaking through was the most critical thing. Therefore, there was no reason for Jun Wu Xiao to delay his breakthrough unless there was a significant issue.
Jun Wu Xiao nodded and replied:
"I feel very strange, as if there is an invisible barrier preventing me from moving forward. In other words, my current method has reached its limit, and to proceed further, I need to find a new approach that I have never tried before."
Hearing this, she frowned. Based on her many years of observation, cultivation seemed fair to everyone. Thus, Jun Wu Xiao’s inability to break through meant that she might face a similar issue in the future.
"So what are you planning to do? This is a very important matter and cannot be neglected." Yue Guang said.
Jun Wu Xiao nodded in agreement. He understood that this issue was not only crucial for him but also for other cultivators. As the leader of humanity, he was the first who needed to solve this problem.
If he couldn’t, his cultivation would stagnate. If it stagnated for too long without a solution, others would face the same predicament as him.
