Chapter 258 The Cultivation of the Sealed Seal

"The group within the sect that previously proposed sealing those with problems in their cultivation are now proposing to unseal them again. Their reason is that the hunters are becoming increasingly frenzied, and they believe that only by unsealing their cultivation and raising their realm can they better resist the hunters."

"Sealing one's cultivation level?!"

Wei Yu suddenly stood up, his face full of shock and confusion, his voice rising several decibels, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, what do you mean by sealing cultivation?"

He had been in the Lingxu Sect for so long and had never heard of this matter before. No wonder he had always felt that Yu Huai and Jing Ming's temperament far surpassed that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators, and was even more composed than some Nascent Soul cultivators. It turned out that there was such a hidden story behind it.

Xuanqing and Xueyang didn't show much surprise on their faces; clearly, they already knew about this.

Seeing Wei Yu's shocked expression, Xuan Qing smiled and explained, "Brother Wei Yu, it's normal that you don't know about this since you've just arrived at the Lingxu Sect."

"Yes, Brother Wei may not know, but all of us, except for Xuanxuan and Xiagui, have already traveled through tens of thousands of years."

"Traveled through tens of thousands of years?!" Wei Yu was shocked again, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Brother Xuanqing, you...you're not kidding, are you?"

Unexpectedly, Yu Huai, Jing Ming, Xue Yang, Xuan Qing, and the others have already traveled through tens of thousands of years!

Xueyang nodded, his tone calm: "Brother Wei, we're not joking, it's all true."

"Think about it, with such high talent as our eldest brother and second senior sister, how could they possibly remain stuck at the late Golden Core stage?"

"In fact, they had already reached the critical point of breaking through the barrier, and had even broken through several times. However, they all chose to seal their cultivation and start cultivating again from the innate level."

"This method of sealing one's cultivation and starting anew was discovered by the sect leader, and it is also the cultivation path that Master has always advocated."

Wei Yu was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Sealing one's cultivation and starting from the innate level again sounds like a fantasy, but looking at Yu Huai and Jing Ming's calm expressions, and Xuan Qing and Xue Yang's affirmative eyes, he knew it was true.

Seeing Wei Yu's shocked expression, Yu Huai softened his tone and slowly explained, "Brother Wei, you don't need to be too surprised. This is actually the unique cultivation method of our Lingxu Sect."

"Master believes that one should not blindly pursue breakthroughs in one's realm, but rather compress and solidify it. The more solid the foundation, the greater one's future achievements will be."

"Just like building a house, the stronger the foundation, the higher and more sturdy the house can be; if the foundation is not solid, no matter how high it is built, it will collapse sooner or later."

"Whenever we reach the critical point of breaking through the boundary, we will actively seal our cultivation, abandon the previous realm, and start cultivating again from the innate realm. We will compress our spiritual power little by little, solidify our foundation, and only when we have cultivated our foundation to the most stable level will we try to break through to a higher realm again."

Wei Yu listened carefully, and his initial shock was gradually replaced by admiration.

He finally understood why Yu Huai and Jing Ming, despite not being top-tier cultivators, possessed a composure and strength far exceeding that of their peers; and why Xue Yang and Xuan Qing, despite their outstanding talents, did not rush to break through but instead progressed steadily step by step.

It turns out that they had been following the most difficult, yet also the safest, path of cultivation.

"But, Senior Brother," Wei Yu frowned and asked doubtfully, "sealing one's cultivation and starting over requires a lot of time and energy, and one also has to endure the drop in cultivation level. Is everyone willing to do that?"

Yu Huai smiled and nodded: "Those who are willing will naturally understand the benefits; those who are unwilling, even if forced, will not benefit."

"Those within the sect who proposed breaking the seal are unwilling to accept this disparity, nor are they willing to spend time solidifying their foundation. They only think about rapidly improving their cultivation level, believing that the higher the cultivation level, the stronger they will be."

"But what they don't know is that without a solid foundation, no matter how high one's cultivation level is, it's just a castle in the air. When they encounter a true expert, they are utterly vulnerable and may even suffer from qi deviation due to their unstable cultivation level."

Whale Cry added, "Moreover, although the hunters are becoming increasingly frenzied, their strength lies not only in their high level of skill, but also in their solid foundation and ruthless methods."

"If we break the seal and abandon the solidification of our foundation for temporary strength, even if we temporarily improve our realm, we may not be able to defeat the hunters. Instead, because our foundation is not solid, we will become the hunters' target."

Xueyang nodded in agreement: "Second Senior Sister is right! Those people are just short-sighted and greedy. They only see the immediate benefits but not the long-term harm."

"They thought that by breaking the seal and raising their cultivation level, they could resist the hunters, but little did they know that this was just courting death!"

Xuan Qing frowned and said seriously, "Yes, I asked my senior brother before why we have to go through so much trouble, sealing our cultivation and starting over. That's what he told me too."

"Although I sometimes feel tired and want to break through my cultivation level as soon as possible, I know that my senior brother, senior sister, and sect leader are all doing this for our own good, so that we can go further."

Looking at the four men, Wei Yu was filled with admiration and emotion.

Yu Huai is calm and insightful, Jing Ming is gentle and considerate, Xue Yang is decisive and bold, and Xuan Qing is simple and obedient. They have all traveled through tens of thousands of years, yet they still maintain their original intentions. They would rather spend a lot of time consolidating their foundations than be in a hurry to achieve success. This kind of mindset is truly precious.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, I understand." Wei Yu took a deep breath, solemnly cupped his hands to Yu Huai and Jing Ming, "You are right, a solid foundation is the basis of cultivation. Being impatient for quick success will only backfire."

Yu Huai smiled and nodded: "It's good that Brother Wei understands."

"Actually, I called you here today not only to tell you this matter, but also to tell you something else."

"Tomorrow is the sect competition. Those in the sect who proposed breaking the seal will definitely cause trouble during the competition. They want to use the opportunity to prove that their point of view is correct and force the sect leader to agree to break the seal."

"Therefore, the three of you must be careful in tomorrow's competition. Not only should you perform at your normal level, but you should also be wary of those people's underhanded tactics. Don't fall into their trap."

Xueyang's eyes narrowed, and his tone was firm: "Don't worry, Senior Brother! We will handle this carefully and will absolutely not let those people succeed!"

"Furthermore, I will teach those impatient and opportunistic individuals a lesson during the competition, showing them that true strength comes from a solid foundation!"

Xuan Qing clenched his fist, his face serious: "Senior Brother, I will also try my best! I will perform well and not let those people look down on us!"

Wei Yu nodded, his tone firm: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, don't worry, I will do my best in tomorrow's competition. I will not only prove my strength, but also help you stop those people from breaking the seal."

Now, he is not only doing this for himself and to find the fragments of the soul, but also for the senior brothers and sisters who have treated him sincerely, and for the Lingxu Sect. He must go all out and not let those who are eager for quick success and instant benefits ruin the cultivation path of the Lingxu Sect.

Looking at the three people's determined eyes, Yu Huai smiled with relief: "Good! Good! With you saying that, I can rest assured."

"You are all the hope of our Lingxu Sect. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves in tomorrow's competition. Just perform at your normal level and protect yourselves, that will be enough."

Jingming also said with a smile, "Yes, you guys must be careful. Don't fight desperately just to win. It's okay if you lose. As long as you've done your best, we'll be proud of you."

"Oh, right, I brought you some Mind-Calming Pills. Take one bottle each later and take them before the competition tomorrow. They will help you stabilize your mind and perform at your best."

As he spoke, Jingming took out three bottles of Concentration Pills from his storage bag and handed them to the three of them.

"Thank you, Second Senior Sister!" She took the Mind-Concentrating Pill and carefully put it away.

Xuan Qing looked at the Mind-Concentrating Pill in his hand, his eyes lighting up. He smiled and said, "With Second Senior Sister's Mind-Concentrating Pill, I'm sure I can perform even better tomorrow. Maybe I can even break through to the late Golden Core stage!"

Xue Yang rolled his eyes at him: "You talk too much! Breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core Realm? First, get rid of your dawdling habit. It would be good enough if you could perform at your normal level!"

"I wasn't dawdling!" Xuan Qing retorted defiantly. "I'll definitely make my move decisively tomorrow and show you my strength!"

"Alright, I'll wait and see. Don't be timid and hesitant, and not even dare to fight your opponent," Xueyang teased with a smile.

"I won't!" Xuan Qing said angrily, turning around to argue with Xue Yang.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing." Jingming laughed and pulled Xuanqing aside, saying helplessly, "The competition is tomorrow, and you still have the mind to argue? Go back and get some rest so you can conserve your energy and perform well tomorrow."

Yu Huai also laughed and said, "Yes, you two, stop fooling around. Brother Wei Yu, Xuan Qing, Xue Yang, you should all go back, get some rest, and adjust your condition. Tomorrow, give it your all and prepare for the sect competition!"

"Okay!" the three agreed in unison.

Afterwards, the three of them bowed to Yu Huai and Jing Ming, then turned and left Huaiqing Palace.
