Xiang Yun circulated the Turtle-Breath Technique. The feeling of dizziness and swelling in his mind had indeed disappeared, but what followed was a strange feeling.
Xiang Yun only felt that as he was in a daze, a series of loud noises resounded in his mind, as if someone had used a giant pillar to ram against the bronze door of the great hall, emitting a low and m.u.f.fled sound like the ringing of a morning bell!
The sound grew deeper and deeper, more and more urgent, as if in some distant world, there was a peerless vicious beast that was about to break out from a certain seal. Xiang Yun's heart was also unceasingly thumping as it sped up.
"Ugh!"
Xiang Yun suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, and he could not help but let out a painful groan!
At the same time, Luo Ning, who was still inside the cave, abruptly opened her eyes, only to see Xiang Yun lying on the ground with his eyes tightly shut, a pained expression on his face.
Shocked, Luo Ning leapt over to Xiang Yun's side.
"What's the matter with you?"
Luo Ning's eyes immediately focused as she stared straight at the center of Xiang Yun's brows. She saw that there was actually a golden light between Xiang Yun's brows, constantly leaping and surging, as if it would break out at any moment!
"How is this possible? He's obviously just a Fighter 6-Cloud, not even reaching Seven-Cloud. How can his mental strength be so fast, and he wants to break open the divine altar?!"
At this moment, Xiang Yun was in extreme pain. His heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. His breathing had also become increasingly difficult, to the point that he was having some sort of hallucination.
It was as if he was standing in a place that was covered in multicolored light and filled with clouds and mist. In a place that was tens of thousands of feet high, there was a magnificent hall.
At the moment, the main temple door was trembling, and the sound of rapid rumbling could be heard from within the temple door. It was as if some enormous creature were madly pounding on the door!
"Don't retreat!"
"Xiang Yun, listen to me. This is your fortuitous encounter. Don't retreat. Walk up to that door and open it!"
Xiang Yun hesitated for a moment before clenching his fist. He took a step forward and walked towards the door!
"Dong, dong, dong!"
He only took a single step forward before the golden doors began to shake even more violently. That majestic aura was like a mountain pressing down on Xiang Yun, causing him to feel even more uncomfortable!
"Humph!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The golden door seemed to want to stop Xiang Yun from approaching. The thunderous boom was like a thunderclap that rumbled loudly beside his ears, causing Xiang Yun to feel a wave of dizziness!
"En!"
Xiang Yun gave a m.u.f.fled grunt, his body on the verge of collapse!
"Hold on!"
At this moment, Luo Ning's voice rang out once more beside Xiang Yun's ears. In the face of that thunderous voice, it seemed faintly discernible and weak.
It was as if he could also feel a kind of power at the other end of the door, a power filled with longing and antic.i.p.ation. It wanted to come out and walk out.
Raising his head to look at the mountain like entrance to the great hall, Xiang Yun was shocked to discover that there was originally a terrifying clas.h.i.+ng sound. It suddenly disappeared, and that oppressive aura also disappeared!
Everything in front of his eyes became tranquil. The golden hall was filled with swirling mists. Everything had become solemn and holy. It was filled with an auspicious and auspicious aura!
Subconsciously, he gently stretched out a hand and placed it on top of the door. Immediately, a slight vibration came from the door, a vibration that was connected to Xiang Yun's mind and was rather frequent at first.
But gradually, as time pa.s.sed, the frequency of the vibrations gradually slowed down, gradually approaching Xiang Yun's heartbeat. In the end, it actually completely coincided with it. The two vibrated harmoniously and rhythmically with each other.
At this moment, Xiang Yun immediately felt a wondrous feeling he had never experienced before.
It was as if someone else had appeared at the other end of the door. They faced each other across the door, as if they were the next person in the world!
Xiang Yun slowly closed his eyes, experiencing this wondrous feeling.
The moment he closed his eyes, the door of the hall shook and opened. A strange energy rushed out of the hall and blended into the heavens and earth!
When he finally woke up, the sun had already risen. Xiang Yun could faintly hear all sorts of sounds coming from outside the cave. He was rather curious, and wanted to go out and take a look.
He could vaguely see that there were two birds flapping their wings and soaring up from an old tree beside the cave.
One of the birds leaped onto another branch, and with a quick glance, it suddenly caught a glimpse of a small worm crawling in the soft soil beneath the ancient tree.
The bird loosened the branches under its feet and its body fell straight down towards the insect. It accurately stretched out its head and opened its mouth to capture the insect. At the same time, it spread its wings and quickly flew back to the treetop.
All of this wasn't very clear and was very blurry. Whether it was the tree or the two birds, they were like lines on a scroll. Although they were real, they were very illusionary, like flowers in a fog.
"Hmm?"
Xiang Yun abruptly awoke. He actually opened his eyes once more. The bonfire had long since been extinguished, the surroundings having long since been extinguished and replaced by the pitch-black darkness of the cave.
He looked around and saw that the cave was empty. The square inch of the cave entrance was already gone, revealing a touch of gentle morning light.
Xiang Yun jumped up and quickly flew out of the cave's entrance. His gaze swiftly locked onto the ancient tree on the right side of the cave, the exact same as the one he had seen earlier.
Xiang Yun first looked at the ground beneath the tree before raising his head to look!
Everything was exactly the same as the scene in his mind!
"How is it? Isn't it wonderful to have the power of spiritual will?"
"The power of divine will?" Xiang Yun looked at Luo Ning with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant.
The power of spiritual will wasn't a secret on this continent. As long as it was an ordinary child from a Venerable family, there should be an elder in the clan who would inform him in advance.
Divine will was a life form, an external manifestation of spiritual force.
Usually, after a person was born, their spiritual energy would be innately locked inside the 'G.o.d Altar'. The G.o.d Altar was the source of their mental energy, and it was also a cage!
From the beginning of a normal person's life to the end, the spiritual energy in the Divine Altar could not break through the Divine Altar. As a result, this mysterious power could not be seen, or perhaps it could only be used in a very small way.
On the other hand, the Cloud Warriors with spiritual roots were different. The Cloud Warriors within the Seven Clouds were different.
Yun Li couldn't release his power, so the only way to break through was to keep cultivating and tempering his body.
They wanted to break through the shackles and connect themselves to the world. But once their spiritual force broke through the divine altar, they would transform into divine will!
He would let the Cloud Warrior's field of vision become even wider. Everything that his spiritual will could reach would be revealed, and sometimes it would even be more useful than the Cloud Cultivator's eyes!
It was as the commoners at the foot of the mountain said, those immortals who were able to 'observe the four seas and the wastelands of the world' were actually exaggerating the existence of their spiritual will.
In reality, they also relied on their spiritual will. Otherwise, let alone fighting, they might accidentally fall into a cliff and die.
Seeing that Xiang Yun really did not know anything, Luo Ning gave him a detailed explanation of her knowledge regarding the power of spiritual will, allowing him to gain a better understanding of it.
Hearing this, Xiang Yun immediately felt a burst of curiosity as he asked, "So that's how it is. Luo Ning, do all the Cloud Warriors on the continent all possess the power of divine will?"
Luo Ning shook her head. "Those who can break through the divine altar with their mind and reach the power of spiritual will are not few in number in the Profound Sky Continent!"
However, the majority of those who possessed the power of the will were. After reaching the Yellow Cloud Realm, the cultivation of their spirit energy was not Yun Li's. Even if they were to temper themselves thoroughly, it would all be in vain.
Moreover, many people's mental strength was naturally not strong. Even if their cultivation was high, it was difficult for their spiritual will to break through. Of course, if their cultivation could advance to the earth cloud and receive the baptism of heavenly tribulation, then the divine altar would automatically open!
At this point, Luo Ning's gaze shot towards Xiang Yun, "Your spiritual will power was formed very early. It can be said that it was formed much earlier than many people, and it was very stable as well. Do you know what this represents?"
Xiang Yun shook his head, at a loss.
Although Luo Ning's cultivation had been sealed, her spiritual will power had not been damaged. He could feel the fluctuations of spiritual will power within Xiang Yun's body.
Although he was still nothing compared to her, compared to the Cloud Warriors who had broken through the Divine Altar for the first time, Xiang Yun's mental strength was actually several times greater than everyone else's. This was just too terrifying!
Xiang Yun was like a young child learning the Dao of Divine Sense, asking as he did not understand.
Luo Ning shook her head. "The mysteries of divine will far exceed your imagination …"
Luo Ning had originally wanted to tell Xiang Yun about some of the mountain scenes and the wondrous uses of telepathic thoughts, but she suddenly thought of something else. That pitiful spirit vein of Xiang Yun's suddenly halted her words.
She thought for a moment and thought of another way to dispel her doubts. She said, "You should have heard of the two professions of an alchemist and a beastmaster, right?"
