Chapter 933

Mental Block

It took around half a day for Mu Yu to get a grasp of the void formation based on Ku Mu’s lecture as Ku Mu only had a general idea of the formation, meaning Mu Yu had a general idea of the general idea. Nevertheless, Mu Yu learnt how to craft a similar teleportation jade piece as the ones they used at Second Heaven and modified it to have his formation seal as he desired.

“Xiaoshuai, I need you to give this a test.”

“It won’t squash my butt this time, will it?” asked Xiaoshuai, doing laps with Xiaobai and Xiaohei while Dabai and Dahei watched over Revealing Cauldron.

“You’re good this time. You can trust in my formation proficiency.”

“I don’t know about that...”

As soon as the formation flashed, Xiaoshuai screamed his lungs out and then bit Mu Yu’s finger hard.

“My bad, my bad. I’ll fix it now.”

“I’m not being your test subject again!”

“You can name the formation once it works, deal?”

“Mm... I want to call it Handsome Formation, then.”

“D-don’t you have a cooler name?”

“Okay, Teleporting Invincible-Fearless Xiaoshuai Formation!”

“Right, Teleporting Handsome Formation it is.”

After another eight failures, Xiaoshuai finally stopped screaming and complaining the trips hurt his rear at long last.

“Your formation seals require spirit energy to operate. How are you going to use it on ordinary folks?” Xiaoshuai questioned.

The ascension process in cultivation required cultivators to first refine their meridians so that their bodies could handle the spiritual energy potency of the higher realm. The second step required them to overcome mental blockages that held them back from realising their potential. Just as mindlessly swinging a sword might result in one hurting themselves, wielding spiritual energy one was not ready for would was hazardous.

Mu Yu would not break a sweat getting through the first step thanks to his wood attribute being at an extreme; all he had to do was secure the timing. Those with a single element taken to an extreme similarly to Mu Yu had no issues withstanding energy as violent as bloodlust energy.

When it came to the second step to ascending to Ascension Realm, he had to overcome the emotions and thoughts that held him back, hence the title “Ascension” in Ascension Realm. For instance, while the elemental demon reverends could wield bloodlust energy comfortably, Mu Yu was nowhere as proficient. Why? Because they accepted the bloodlust energy; they had ascended beyond their emotional issues. Hence, they had reached Ascension Realm. In contrast, Mu Yu rejected bloodlust energy whilst wielding it, keeping him in Body Synthesis Realm and letting the bloodlust energy control him. One had to be clear on what sort of person they were, be it foolish, stubborn, kind or conniving, in order to control Ascension Realm’s power.

“What’s your mental block?” Xiaoshuai questioned, understanding that everyone had different emotional problems depending on what their personal experiences are.

“Mm... Xiaoshuai, I currently have an attachment I can’t forego. Only you can help me out.”

“Really? It has to do with me? Let’s hear. I reckon you’re jealous of my good looks or feel ashamed of your inferior intellect. I can’t help you if it’s either of them.” Xiaoshuai lifted his chest up.

“It’s the Teleporting Handsome Formation. Can we change its name? I can’t rest in peace if we don’t do something about it.”

“Easy. Teleporting Invincible-Fearless Xiaoshuai Formation, then!”

Mu Yu heaved a big breath in defeat.

It dawned on Mu Yu that he had multiple emotional walls after three days of deliberation. He felt guilty about the deaths of Xuan Zhengtang’s family and Ku Mu; however, he was actively working toward reviving them. Therefore, they were not emotional blocks that he was banging his head on.

First, Mu Yu worried about the promise he made to Village Chief Bu, which was to be a good immortal master. He ended up killing the majority of Eastern Desert City. Sword Shadow Dust Gale wished to protect the cultivation world, while he did not want to take up the responsibility. Mu Hao looked up to him as a hero, leading to him fearing Mu Hao would swing the other way when his brother learnt of his deeds. Lastly, Tian Ran... These were the walls he had to climb over.
