Hearing the words of 'Liuyun' that was floating in front of him, Liuyun couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards the poor soul. How long did he suffer for; His family and friends were all dead and he alone still continued to walk the face of the earth, bearing a huge responsibility of destroying the Divine Judgement Hall that threatened to rule the world.
Liuyun turned to 'Liuyun' and realized, he never knew his name until now. Curious he asked the floating spirit.
"Hey! What is your name?"
"Hm? I never said it? My name is Shi Xi Wei.."
The two talked around a bit more and Liuyun managed to learn more about Shi XiWei, how he led his life and his training method.
After they finished, Liuyun sat down once more in order to cultivate. He drew in nature energy from within the air and tried to condense his spiritual castle. In order for one to break through to the spirit realm, a cultivator first needs to condense his spiritual castle. A spiritual castle is made up of nature energy and bound together with comprehension of life, what is life and what is death, everyone each had their own understanding of it and so each person's spiritual castle was different.
Liuyun realized how weak he was from today and gathering information about the Divine Judgement Hall from Shi XiWei made him desire for more power. He wanted to try to break through to the spirit realm tonight, so he started to slowly create his spiritual castle.
At first, it was being built easily, but suddenly it slowly started to collapse and the nature energy he was gathering was slowly dissipating. As expected from the spirit realm, a normal person would find it hard to just manage to gather all the required amount of energy yet if they did not manage to form their spiritual castle, it would all go to a waste. Liuyun was currently experiencing the difficulty of it and he was barely hanging on, his face churned into a painful look and his body was sweating profusely as he tried to endure the pain.
It was all going to be for naught if he couldn't form the spiritual castle and it would take him a month more to gather the energy again. 'No! I can't afford to waste time here! I need to form the castle or else we would be cornered once more!'
Suddenly, Shi Xi Wei messaged him telepathically.
"What does living mean to you? What does having a life stand for... Why are we born, yet why do we die."
Liuyun pondered over this question that Shi XiWei asked him and he immediately understood what the comprehension of life is about.
Life was about hardships and sufferings, one will for sure suffer or be tormented in their lives. This was what brought meaning to life as when one clears their hardships, rewards that will be bittersweet for one will be given. Having a life is to feel emotions, everything to one was what made living worth for. We were born to live through harsh times, yet also to find a partner to find happiness with. We die cause eternity never tears us apart!
Once Liuyun thought of this, his originally broken and faded spiritual castle started to be constructed, it took him 30 minutes to form the foundation of his castle and another 2 hours to form the complete castle.
If Feng Yang Zhe was to see this, he would probably puke blood and want to find a hole to dig himself into. Damn it! Breaking through by enlightenment what the hell?! Are you still human?! At the age of 11, you already experienced enlightenment yet his entire life never did he even once experienced it.
The rest of Liuyun's breakthrough was easy and he broke through before the sunrise. Shi Xi Wei long headed back into Liuyun's body and rested, he did not enter Liuyun's conscious but instead he had a separate area within Liuyun's body that he rested in.
Liuyun met up with Feng Hanyan and she was shocked to see how Liuyun was already a spirit realm cultivator. She did not feel the hint of jealousy at all though, the stronger Liuyun was, the happier she was as well.
"Liuyun, what do you plan on doing?"
"Hm… I wanted to earn some money today, on our last mission, we used up all of our weapons and medicine."
They gave back the money they had to Feng Yang Zhe before he left and currently they were penniless, it was a part of their training to be independent.
Liuyun scrolled through the request board and saw a request that caught his eye.
'Lin Clan's looking for a doctor! Curing of a poison in the young master of the Lin Clan!'
Liuyun was very confident regarding his medical skills, he learned from Feng Hua Xue about every medicine in the world and his own treatment skills were even better. Feng Hua Xue once mentioned that no one in the world currently even rivals Liuyun's skill regarding the way of the medicine and even the past medical sages.
This boosted his confidence and he decided to head out alone this time. He cannot always bring around Feng Hanyan and let her be attracted to trouble like the trouble magnet he was.
"Yan'er…"
"I know what you want, I'm okay with it! I will just breakthrough in the spirit realm before you come back!"
Hearing her words, Liuyun chuckled and gave Feng Hanyan and peck on her cheeks.
"Mu…. Doing this so early in the morning!"
"Hahaha, I will be back soon after I clear this mission."
"...Take care of yourself okay?"
"Mhm."
