Li Chou followed the old man to a moss-covered valley, surrounded by aura, as if every inch of air contained power. The old man's figure looked exceptionally old under the sunlight, but there was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.
"This is the Dark Breath Technique, listen carefully."The old man's voice was low and steady, as thick as a large mountain. "This technique uses aura as a guide to help you gather power quickly in battle. Remember, the path of cultivation is not a straight path, you need to constantly challenge yourself."
Li Chou listened carefully and made a mental note of it. He began to try to utilize his aura, and as his mind guided him, it slowly flowed through his body. At first, he felt a slight difficulty, but with the old man's guidance, he gradually found the feeling.
"Good, continue to maintain this state."The old man smiled faintly, and felt gratified in his heart when he saw that Li Chou had gradually grasped the essentials. "Next, you need to condense your aura into shape, this is the key to whether or not you can win in battle."
"I understand!"Li Chou's heart was filled with conviction as he practiced the technique with more and more concentration. As the aura flowed, he felt the power in his body grow stronger.
The night still shrouded the Darkness Forever Resident, but a glimmer of light flickered in Li Chou's heart. After countless days and nights of cultivation, he finally broke through the first realm in this mysterious courtyard and reached the "Dark Breath Realm".
"Feel that power?"The old man's voice echoed in his ears, seemingly carrying a mysterious power.
Li Chou closed his eyes and felt the aura flowing in his body, like a tidal wave rushing in. His muscles gradually filled up due to the infusion of aura, and his body was filled with power. He slightly opened his palms, and the aura flickered at his fingertips, seemingly containing endless energy.
"I've succeeded!"Li Chou's heart was ecstatic, and the excitement within him was beyond words. He had never experienced such a strong feeling before, as if the entire world was within his grasp.
"Now, you need to learn how to control this power."The old man nodded slightly, a hint of relief and anticipation flashed in his eyes, "The Dark Breath Realm is just the beginning, there are many unknown challenges waiting for you on the road ahead."
As he spoke the old man had already made a seal with both hands as if he was summoning something, only to see the ground suddenly crack and form an abyss, it was as if there was some kind of monster crawling up in the abyss, "Only to see a monster that seemed to come from the depths of darkness running out of the abyss."
"There is no need to panic!"This is what the old man summoned to accompany you to spar, the old man pressed its cultivation to the Dark Breath Realm will not hurt your life, said the old man.
Li Chou's pupils widened, "Summoning a dark creature! , this old man is both the eighth realm! Underworld Realm!"A cultivator of the Stygian Abyss realm could control the power of the darkness of the abyss, able to channel the power from the depths of darkness for attack or defense. A cultivator of the Underworld Abyss realm could summon creatures of the abyss or trigger a dark vortex to drag the enemy into the abyss.
"What is this old man's origin! That is, he has the eighth realm strength!"
Li Chou clenched his fists as a sense of wariness surged in his heart. He was no longer that helpless teenager, but a cultivator who had mastered power. He took a deep breath and felt the flow of aura in his body as he looked firmly at the enemy.
Under the old man's guidance, Li Chou attempted to utilize his newly acquired aura, gathering it between his palms to form a faint glow. With a movement of his mind, the aura suddenly erupted and charged forward, striking at the dark creature.
"Go!"Li Chou shouted in his heart as the power of the aura surged out crazily under his control, rushing towards the enemy like a flood.
After a few days of cultivation, Li Chou finally mastered the Dark Breath Technique under the old man's guidance. This technique was not only able to enhance the efficiency of the utilization of his aura, but it also allowed him to be more flexible in dealing with the enemy's attacks in battle.
"First, you need to feel the flow of aura, then condense it in your palm to form the power of an attack."The old man's voice was like a lighthouse, guiding Li Chou forward in the darkness.
Li Chou meditated and closed his eyes, experiencing the flow of aura in his body. He took a deep breath, and with the rhythm of his breathing, the aura slowly gathered in his dantian, like a trickle of water, gradually converging into a powerful force.
"Feel it!"Li Chou snapped his eyes open, a faint light flickered in front of his palms, that was the power condensed from the aura. His heart burst with excitement, he had finally grasped the essence of the new technique.
He gathered his aura and instantly formed a powerful attack, charging straight at the man in black. With a roar, Li Chuan poured out his power as his aura transformed into a ray of light and slammed into the enemy.
"Boom!"With a loud bang, the dark creature was caught off guard and was knocked back several steps by the force.
"Good job!"The old man watched from the sidelines, feeling relieved in his heart, Li Chuan's growth gave him hope.
However, the enemy's attacks did not stop. Facing the dark creatures, Li Chou had to deal with them calmly. He quickly adjusted his posture and activated the Dark Breath Technique, flowing his aura throughout his body to form a protective shield against the oncoming attacks.
Li Chou continuously adjusted his tactics during the battle, gradually adapting to the enemy's rhythm. He discovered that the use of aura was not just limited to attacks, defense was equally important.
"I can't be knocked down!"Li Chou encouraged himself in his heart and grew more and more courageous the more he fought. He used his aura to flexibly turn around, dodging left and right, looking for opportunities to counterattack.
When he managed to avoid the attack of a dark creature, Li Chou seized the moment and transformed his aura into a ray of light that fiercely blasted at the enemy, hitting the opponent's body hard. The figure was knocked back and then fell to the ground.
With the gradual defeat of the man in black, a sense of accomplishment surged in Li Chou's heart. He knew that this wasn't just a battle, it was an important step on his path to becoming a strong man.
"Good job!"The old man watched from the sidelines, feeling gratified in his heart as Li Chou's growth gave him hope.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of success, the old man suddenly became serious, a hint of worry flickering in his eyes. "Li Chou, you must understand that cultivation is not a lonely journey, the further you cultivate the dark realm the more you will be affected by the darkness leading to being lost in the darkness ...."Remember that you must keep to your heart in order to go farther so as not to be assimilated into the darkness, many cultivators throughout the ages have been lost in the darkness and have become an emotionless killing machine, which has led to perennial chaos in the Land of Eternal Night.
"Elder, I will keep your teachings in mind!"Li Chou nodded his head vigorously, his heart filled with gratitude.
However, right at this moment, the old man's figure began to become blurry, and the surrounding scenery gradually lost its clarity. Li Chou stretched out his hand to the old man in shock, "Elder! Where are you going?"
"Li Chou, my mission is over, you must move on."The old man's voice drifted in the wind, gradually becoming distant, "In the land of darkness as long as there is light in your heart then there is light, make sure to protect yourself and go after the light that belongs to you!"
"Remember! , don't trust anyone, in the land of eternal night everywhere is full of cunning and crisis, but also at the same time is full of opportunities, even the people of the land of eternal light must not be easily trusted, although the land of eternal light is called light, but some of them may not be as dangerous as the people of eternal night who survive in the darkness! The most dangerous thing to remember is nothing more than the human heart, encounter light cultivators try to avoid war with them, light restrains the darkness, and they fight with nine risk of life, the words have come to this can not get out of your way depends on your own creation .....".
"Elder!"Li Chou exclaimed in shock, watching the old man's figure turn into a wisp of light smoke, disappearing into the air, leaving only the residual sound echoing in the valley.
Li Chou's heart was incomparably shocked, and his mouth muttered, "How could this happen? His heart was filled with loss and despondency, but then, the old man's words penetrated deep into his heart like a brand.
"I will definitely become stronger and bring my mother out of this dark place!"He secretly swore, a determined light flashing in his eyes.
After surviving in the darkness for a long time, the people of the Eternal Night would long for light, and leaving the darkness was also the longing of Li Chuan's heart.
