Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Double Breakthrough
For Xu Yi, the time ahead is all about making a full breakthrough to level 7.
As for Lu Ke, her goal is naturally to reach level 6.
Other matters, Xu Yi doesn’t need to worry too much about anymore.
At most, once every half month, send a level 6 Fierce Beast back. If there aren’t any, the snail can also absorb level 5 peak Fierce Beasts, as it isn’t picky about food.
Even without food, it can go a long time without eating.
After all, the snail’s movement speed isn’t much different from that of a real snail, and relying on the Hallucinogenic Flower Fragrance means it will inevitably go for prolonged periods without feeding.
Time flew by, and another 10 days passed.
During these ten days, Xu Yi has been constantly fighting and moving.
The territories of level 6 Fierce Beasts are relatively large; solving one means traveling far to deal with another.
To save effort, Xu Yi even tamed a level 6 Fierce Beast.
This way, once it intrudes into another Fierce Beast’s territory, that beast will sense it and come forward on its own, saving Xu Yi the time needed to search for it.
During these 10 days, Lu Ke was quite anxious.
Because she hadn’t made a breakthrough.
For Lu Ke, she was infinitely close to level 6, but not breaking through made her quite anxious.
Xu Yi understood her anxiety.
Had it been him, he would be anxious too.
But with something like a breakthrough, Xu Yi couldn’t really help much.
What could be done, Xu Yi had already done.
The rest is up to Lu Ke herself.
Today, after dinner, Lu Ke’s mood was extremely low.
Of course, this was largely related to her period.
She watched silently as Xu Yi took the initiative to clean the dishes, without saying anything.
Once Xu Yi finished, Lu Ke looked at him eagerly and asked, "Xu Yi, do you think I have poor talent? It’s been so long and I still haven’t broken through."
"How could that be? Breakthroughs shouldn’t be rushed. Here’s a thought: I’ll use my Spiritual Power to let you feel what level 6 is like." Xu Yi felt that Lu Ke’s brainwaves had grown stronger recently, enabling new experiments.
Xu Yi believed that among Divine Masters, this method could potentially help lower-level individuals break through more easily.
Hearing Xu Yi’s words, Lu Ke’s eyes lit up.
What could be more direct than experiencing the power of level 6 firsthand?
"This method is great. Why didn’t Xu Yi do this from the start?"
"If Spiritual Power were easy to control, Xu Yi would have done it already. Carelessness could damage the brain and turn you into an idiot!"
"I think there’s a limitation; maybe Lu Ke’s level has to be at a certain point to endure it."
"My instinct tells me that this time Lu Ke is bound to break through. In fact, experiencing it is akin to using level 6 ability, and afterward, she’ll definitely break through."
The audience members’ guesses weren’t entirely wrong.
This method does have limitations.
Lu Ke’s brainwaves and physical strength must reach a sufficient intensity to bear the power of level 6. Otherwise, this force could damage her brain and body.
Xu Yi is very careful with control, to avoid any accidents.
If Lu Ke’s conditions permitted, he would’ve done this earlier.
The two returned to their tent, as the process required quiet and stability.
An interruption would negatively impact both Lu Ke and Xu Yi.
When it comes to the brain, there’s no such thing as a small issue.
"You must relax. This process may be somewhat painful, but don’t tense up, don’t resist," Xu Yi instructed Lu Ke, since it was his first try too.
Could this attempt have any repercussions on Lu Ke?
Xu Yi thought not; he had some confidence in his Spiritual Power.
Another factor was that Lu Ke’s Telekinesis differed from others’, which was a key reason for Xu Yi’s risk-taking attempt.
"Okay, I’m ready. Let’s begin," Lu Ke said with anticipation, trusting Xu Yi immensely and believing nothing would go wrong.
Xu Yi took a deep breath and began the attempt.
His Spiritual Power quickly linked with Lu Ke’s brain, continuously strengthening this connection.
He had to make his power feel as if it was a part of her body, enabling Lu Ke to harness the power and feel what level 6 was like.
In fact, this method is quite risky.
Recklessness could lead to Xu Yi losing all his power, even his Spiritual Power.
Other civilizations have tried this, with many Divine Masters losing their power, empowering others, making them extraordinarily strong.
However, many Divine Masters, at the end of their lives, would use this method to pass on their power and Spiritual Power to their descendants or disciples, making them stronger.
Many civilizations refer to this method as ’Empowerment’.
Xu Yi didn’t know about ’Empowerment’, nor did Lu Ke. So, Xu Yi didn’t face the risk of losing everything.
"Alright, now begin to activate this power, let it traverse your body," Xu Yi advised as their Spiritual Link was nearly complete.
Then, Lu Ke started trying to channel Xu Yi’s power.
Initially, it was difficult.
But she wasn’t anxious, trying repeatedly.
After half an hour, Lu Ke could easily wield Xu Yi’s power.
Moreover, she followed Xu Yi’s suggestion, using his power to practice Supreme Profound Meditation Method, Body Tempering, Mountain Shaking, and Vibration.
In a flash, two hours had passed.
"Xu Yi, I think I’ve already broken through,"
Lu Ke noticed that after her training, a torrent of Spiritual Energy surged toward her.
However, Xu Yi didn’t respond and released the Li Race pearl, which flew into Lu Ke’s mouth.
Xu Yi’s body also absorbed this power.
"Hold the bead, focus on cultivating, absorb the Spiritual Energy, don’t worry about anything else," Xu Yi’s voice echoed in Lu Ke’s mind.
Lu Ke immediately closed her eyes, fully immersing herself in cultivation.
The surrounding Spiritual Energy was continuously absorbed by Xu Yi and Lu Ke.
The nearby level 6 Fierce Beast and Unicorn sensed this, acting as if facing a great enemy, warily observing their surroundings.
Time ticked by, and Xu Yi and Lu Ke remained spiritually linked, continuing their cultivation.
By the next morning, past ten, Xu Yi discovered his inability to advance further.
At level 6 peak, Xu Yi had successfully reached it.
But breaking through to level 7 remained unachieved.
Nevertheless, to Xu Yi, this unexpected gain was satisfying.
Moreover, Lu Ke benefited greatly, not only breaking through to level 6 but also nearing level 6 peak significantly.
In essence, this occasion greatly narrowed the strength gap between her and Xu Yi.
So, Xu Yi disconnected their Spiritual Link and stood up, ready to step outside and feel what the power of level 6 peak was like.
"Xu Yi, am I really at level 6 now?" Lu Ke found it somewhat unreal.
However, she felt exuberant, thinking Xu Yi was no longer her match.
