Chapter 3

Worried about the Assessment

Zhou Yun fell into a state of enlightenment and could not extricate himself from it.

He had been subconsciously absorbing the spiritual Qi around him.

At this moment, his meridians were already full of spiritual Qi, but he continued to absorb it tirelessly.

It seemed that he was able to absorb it endlessly.

His meridians swelled up from the endless absorption of spiritual Qi.

They were getting bigger and bigger.

15 minutes later.

Bang! Boom!

“I’ve broken through! I’ve reached the second layer of Qi cultivation!”

Zhou Yun was engrossed in his cultivation when a muffled sound came from his body.

A moment later, he felt his meridians rapidly expand like an inflated balloon.

In an instant, they had expanded to about twice their original size.

Then, they began to absorb spiritual Qi madly.

The spiritual Qi that was originally flowing around Zhou Yun was now rushing into his body like crazy.

At this moment, a small vortex appeared beside him.

This was a vortex formed by the rapid circulation of spirit Qi.

Zhou Yun felt the spiritual energy in his body, his eyes filled with surprise.

“I didn’t expect to break through in just 15 minutes!”

He couldn’t believe that he had reached the second layer of Qi cultivation.

This was a realm that he had not reached after cultivating for one solid year.

Now, however, the 15-minute cultivation had actually surpassed one year of effort.

Such an effect was too awesome!

“No wonder this system is said to possess the greatest potential and power in the world!”

Zhou Yun’s heart was beating wildly.

It was difficult for him to calm down.

He was so excited about the system’s power!

With such a powerful system, there was no need to worry about being laid off.

When he first came here, he wanted to be like the main characters in all kinds of novels, heroic and invincible.

He had also set some small goals.

He decided to defeat the Blue Dragon and the White Tiger, welcome the Empress, marry the goddess, suppress a region, and open the Heavenly Door with one sword.

However, after experiencing a year of failure, he gradually lost his ambition.

At this moment, he was so full of hope again.

The small goals that he had set before were achievable!

With the existence of the Enlightenment System, he was becoming stronger at any time.

Zhou Yun turned his attention away from the system and continued his enlightenment.

“I’ll continue cultivating. I must become strong enough, or I’ll get laid off.”

Zhou Yun suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to cultivate.

Although he had broken through to the second layer of Qi cultivation, it was not enough for him to get a good result in the assessment.

He couldn’t even pass the test.

For now, his strength was not enough to guarantee that he would not get laid off.

After all, he was just a beginner.

There were many outer sect disciples who had reached the second layer of Qi cultivation.

He didn’t want to be driven out of Spirit Valley.

He still needed to break through to a higher level!

The more resources he had, the smoother his way to cultivation would be.

Although he already had the godlike Enlightenment System, all kinds of cultivation resources were also indispensable during the cultivation process.

Moreover, cultivating with the help of a sect like the Spirit Valley would be much easier than cultivating alone.

After all, this was an era where spiritual Qi was rare.

No matter how powerful a cultivator was, he could not possess the cultivation resources of a sect.

Just like that, Zhou Yun sat cross-legged on the spot, totally motionless.

He sat there from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn.

During this time, there was a series of explosions and shattering sounds coming from his body from time to time.

Those were the signals for a breakthrough!

However, Zhou Yun did not seem to notice them. He did not stop, either.

The joy of breakthrough was no match for that of cultivation.

He had been immersed in the joy of enlightenment all day long.

Besides, during the process of enlightenment, he also discovered many defects in the cultivation technique.

“This cultivation technique is incomplete! It shouldn’t just be a technique for absorbing spiritual Qi. It definitely has other uses.”

For example, when the spiritual Qi entered his body just now, he felt that he could manipulate it as he wished.

He could even control the spiritual Qi!

“Can spiritual Qi be turned into weapons?”

Thinking of this, Zhou Yun felt the spiritual Qi in his body surge rapidly.

Then, he flicked his finger.

The spiritual Qi instantly turned into a sharp sword.

Zhou Yun held the sword and felt it carefully.

He felt as if he was holding a real sword, but he also felt like the wind was running around in his palm.

Zhou Yun casually flicked his hand, and the sword formed by spiritual Qi shot out instantly.

Swoosh!

With the sound of a gust of wind, an ancient tree not far away was directly pierced through.

“That’s it!”

Zhou Yun took a deep breath, his eyes shining with joy.

“This cultivation technique isn’t perfect. There are some parts where the cultivation paces need to be improved. Moreover, it shouldn’t just be a cultivation technique. It can be improved into an offensive technique.”

After a period of enlightenment, he continued his breakthrough from the second layer of Qi cultivation.

He had directly broken through to the fifth layer of Qi cultivation!

Moreover, he also made some changes to this cultivation technique.

After the modification, the cultivation technique was one level higher than the first time he had a moment of enlightenment.

With the help of the modified cultivation technique, his cultivation speed doubled again.

It allowed him to break through to the fifth layer of Qi cultivation in just one day.

After breaking through to the fifth layer of Qi cultivation, Zhou Yun stopped.

He did want to continue cultivating, but he had encountered some difficulties.

“This body’s innate ability is not very good. Without the help of a large number of pills, it is impossible to break through to the foundation establishment stage, let alone the golden core stage!”

Although the problem of cultivation had been solved, the problem of innate ability was indeed difficult to solve. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

Zhou Yun picked up a cup of tea, trying to wash away the worry in his heart.

At this moment, three or four young men in green Taoist robes flew past him.

“Well, isn’t that our classmate, Zhou Yun? Let’s go down and take a look!”

When they passed by Zhou Yun’s from above his head, they suddenly stopped. One of them said this in a playful tone.

Then, without waiting for the others’ agreement, he flicked his sleeve and flew toward Zhou Yun.

This person was called Qin Xiu. His strength had already reached the great perfection of Qi cultivation, and he was the one with the highest cultivation level among them.

The other three people looked at Zhou Yun with a hint of disdain in their eyes. Finally, they all landed in front of Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun lifted the cup of tea and took a sip. Right before he put it down, he saw four people landing in front of him.

With just a glance, he recognized the four people in front of him. They were the disciples who joined the sect at the same time as him.

Qin Xiu, who was the first to land, was the strongest among them.

Because he had reached the great perfection of Qi cultivation, he was promoted to an inner sect disciple a month ago.

He didn’t need to participate in the Outer Sect Disciple Assessment this time.

He only needed to focus on breaking through the foundation establishment stage.

The rest of them seemed to be his lackeys.

They stood around Qin Xiu like a bunch of guards.

“What are you guys doing here?”

Zhou Yun put down his teacup and asked them in confusion.

These few people were his classmates from the same period.

However, he wasn’t very familiar with him.

He couldn’t even recall their names if he didn’t think carefully.

He couldn’t figure out what they were doing here.

When Qin Xiu saw Zhou Yun, a mocking expression appeared on his face at once.

He had clearly seen Zhou Yun’s worried expression just now.

He thought that Zhou Yun must be worried about the assessment.

Thinking of what happened in the past, Qin Xiu couldn’t help but sneer.
