Chapter 2196: Chapter 2216: What’s behind that wall? _1

There were plenty of exciting sights at the Myriad Immortal Hall, but none of them concerned Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was just a passer-by. After dealing with his personal matters, the rest of the excitement, hubbub, and gossip had nothing to do with him.

Even before the Myriad Immortal Hall fully concluded, Lin Chen left Tianyu City with Ziyun Zunzhe.

They traveled to the Meditation Valley, half a month’s journey from Tianyu City. The reason it was called the Meditation Valley was because the spiritual Qi here was incredibly dense, and one’s mind could easily communicate with the Heavenly Dao during Closed Door Cultivation, thus gaining insight.

Since time immemorial, countless cultivators have attained Enlightenment and ascended to Immortality in this valley, often even ascending above the realm of Daluo Da Luo. Once, some powerhouse tried to claim the space for themselves, but ultimately the Myriad Immortal Hall decreed that no individual or group is allowed to take over. From then onwards, the valley became an excellent place for cultivators to cultivate, comprehend the Dao and break through realms.

Lin Chen is currently in the late stage of Celestial Immortal, still a considerable way away from reaching the peak. However, Lin Chen had a substantial number of Mo Xian crystals, so reaching the peak was just a matter of time.

Lin Chen traveled to Meditation Valley, hoping to gain some comprehension. Ascending to Da Luo is like stepping into a new domain, with the current world closing its doors to you.

If you want to successfully break through, you must first perceive the new world of Da Luo, and then try to find a door to enter it. Once you find the door, the next step is to try and push the door open.

Once the door is completely opened, and you step inside, only then is the breakthrough successful, and you gain new powers enabling you to embrace the new world.

Lin Chen has not yet reached the peak, and is not qualified to perceive the new world above Da Luo, let alone find the door.

Lin Chen hoped that he could gain something in the Meditation Valley. Even if he did not break through and could not push the door open, he should at least be able to perceive the new world above Da Luo.

Countless peak Celestials spend their whole lives unable to perceive the new world, remaining like explorers locked outside the new world, never having the opportunity to touch it.

Lin Chen and his companion seemed like a pair of immortals, leisurely making their journey. Half a month later, they arrived at the Meditation Valley.

Although it’s called a valley, Meditation Valley is actually a basin surrounded by lofty mountains on three sides. There’s only one entranceway situated between two mountain peaks split apart like they were cleaved by a knife, which is why it is referred to as a valley.

As soon as Lin Chen and his companion entered the Meditation Valley, they sensed the presence of many cultivators. They were seated all over the valley, and various small Protective Arrays concealed their figures, giving them a peaceful environment for meditation and cultivation.

The Meditation Valley has no master. So, as long as a place is not occupied, you can claim it. You can temporarily establish your property and cultivate in seclusion.

Lin Chen felt many gazes on him, but he didn’t mind. After all, it is public, it is quite normal to be looked at, right?

Lin Chen flew around the valley and finally found a platform on a protruding cliff among the mountains. The area was not massive but quite flat, and it was clearly a spot left behind by previous users.

"This spot is good."

Ziyun Zunzhe looked left and right, then smiled and pointed to a huge rock in the distance, "Alright, you take this spot. I will go to that boulder over there."

"Okay!"

Without being polite with Ziyun Zunzhe, Lin Chen directly placed a cushion on the platform, set up a small Protective Array around it, and sat on the cushion.

Lin Chen took out the Mo Xian crystals and started his cultivation in peace.

Lin Chen soon realized the specialty of Meditation Valley. During cultivation, his mind was incredibly clear as if he had inhaled pure oxygen. In such a state, the speed at which he absorbed and refined the spiritual Qi in the Mo Xian crystals was one to two times faster than before.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. With this speed of cultivation, this place was indeed a Blessed Land.

But since the Meditation Valley has such a magical place, shouldn’t all the cultivators in the world come here?

After a second thought, Lin Chen felt he was overthinking.

Although Lin Chen’s absorption speed of the spiritual Qi in the Mo Xian crystals had indeed increased, the prerequisite was that the cultivator must have something like the Mo Xian crystals to enhance their cultivation. The concentration of spiritual Qi in the air was nothing unusual. In other words, if one came here to cultivate without carrying anything akin to a Mo Xian crystal, their speed of cultivation would not be different from any other place.

Under such conditions, who would specifically come here to cultivate?

As for doubling the absorption speed, cultivators have long lives, so what’s the rush?

What’s important is having good things that can enhance one’s strength!

Lin Chen calmed his mind and began to cultivate.

He sat there for three months.

Without any hindrance, Lin Chen smoothly reached the peak of Celestial Immortal and then hit a wall.

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief, lifted his Array, and prepared to check on Ziyun Zunzhe and share the good news with her.

Ziyun Zunzhe didn’t consume any Mo Xian crystals; she just sat cross-legged on the large rock, pondering the Path of Space.

Upon noticing movement on Lin Chen’s side, Ziyun Zunzhe opened her eyes, deactivated her Array, smiled and looked at Lin Chen, "Finished with your closed-door cultivation?"

Lin Chen spread his hands, "I’m stuck. I can’t cultivate any further."

Delight appeared in Ziyun Zunzhe’s eyes, "Have you reached the peak?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen nodded, explaining his feelings to Ziyun Zunzhe, "I can vaguely sense something new behind that wall, but the wall seems to wrap around my senses, preventing me from accurately feeling what’s behind it..."

Ziyun Zunzhe’s eyes widened, "You can sense something new?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, it’s like a sixth sense. There’s clearly a wall in front of me, but I’m sure there’s something behind the wall. I can’t describe exactly what it is, but I’m definite I can sense it."

A smile surfaced on Ziyun Zunzhe’s face, "This is great news. The first thing you need to feel when comprehending the new world above Da Luo is this kind of sensation. You’ll have first to confirm its existence, after all, this thing is very subjective. The realm above Da Luo is like a new world that others can’t see or perceive."

"Once you are sure it exists, you can continuously attempt to comprehend it, to see clearly what it truly is—this process is the process of understanding for breaking through the realm. That wall will gradually become thinner with this process, and the things you perceive will become clearer until it appears entirely in front of you!"

"You’ve just reached the peak, and you already have this kind of comprehension. You’re already more amazing than the vast majority of cultivators. After all, most of them can’t even sense anything behind the wall until they die. In their eyes, the wall is the only thing they can see. As for whether there’s a garden, rock, or lake behind the wall, they have no knowledge of it."

"You truly are one in a million, as expected of the man I chose!"
