Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Encountering a Bottleneck

Translator: 549690339

This trip to Central State should not take long, so there should be no significant issues.

This Array Plate is a further enhanced version of the Grand Array of Taichu Sacred Land, redesigned by Qin Changqing.

Moreover, Qin Changqing has also created a new one for the Qin family.

Now, within the Cave World of Taixuan Peak where the Qin family resides, there are many Nascent Souls.

Zi Yan and Qing Hong, these Three Golden Flowers, are all Nascent Souls.

Luo Yuxin and other concubines that Qin Changqing took from Tian Luo Sect are also Nascent Souls.

There are also several Nascent Soul female cultivators that Qin Changqing accepted from Mysterious Heaven Academy.

As for Qin Xiaoyue and others, they are currently Golden Elixirs, but they are close to reaching the Nascent Soul state.

The strongest among them all is Luo Yuxin, she is at the Nascent Soul Peak.

After arranging everything at home, Qin Changqing prepared ample congratulatory gifts and then set off.

As for Bi Hai, Qin Changqing has already informed him via the Communication Stone. Bi Hai should go directly to Guiyuan Sect.

The Flying Boat is heading southwards, heading towards the Central State.

Over the years, Qin Changqing has been to the Western Border and Eastern Border, but this is his first time to Central State.

Compared with the Western and Eastern Borders, Central State is bigger and farther away.

There are also many dangerous territories between Central State and North Region, as well as some vast mountain ranges spanning tens of thousands of miles.

It could be said that there are countless mountains here.

This makes travel from Central State to North Region less convenient.

Those below the peak of Foundation Establishment would not consider traveling far.

For Qin Changqing, of course, these problems do not exist, as the speed of his Flying Boat is extremely fast.

In just over ten days, the land of Central State came into view.

A few thousand miles away, a vast mountaintop appeared, and on it was a mountain city. This Immortal City served as a resting place for the cultivators from Central State as they traversed endless mountain ranges to hunt demonic beasts.

It is also the northernmost Immortal City of Central State. Folloow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

Qin Changqing’s Flying Boat flew towards that Immortal City. He needed directions.

The arrival of the Flying Boat attracted the attention of some cultivators.

That’s because Qin Changqing’s Flying Boat was very fancy.

Soon, the Flying Boat flew into the Immortal City.

“The Flying Boat directly entering the Immortal City, this must definitely be a Nascent Soul cultivator.”

“Yes, I wonder what his harvest is like from this trip.”

Several cultivators discussed amongst themselves as they watched.

Central State is busier, and in some cities, lower-level cultivators might often encounter Nascent Souls.

A hundred and thirty years to reach the Nascent Soul, three hundred years to deify, a thousand years to refine the void.

This is the terrifying power of a first-grade Heavenly Spirit Root.

Though it cannot match the rate of Immortal Spirit Root, its growth speed is not slow by any means.

However, after using one thousand five hundred years to go from Refining

Void to the Peak of Refining Void, in the seven thousand years that followed, Butterfly Cloud Peak Master remained at the Peak of Refining Void without further progress.

She had hit a bottleneck.

If her Heavenly Spirit Root of first grade was considered, she should have reached the completion of Refining Void when she was between four and five thousand years old, or even earlier, and could have made a breakthrough thereafter.

But now at ten thousand years old, she still hasn’t achieved the completion of Refining Void.

This exposes the horrible nature of a bottleneck.

Many geniuses with a Heavenly Spirit Root charge ahead relentlessly initially, but once they unexpectedly hit a bottleneck, the pain would be unbearable.

In two thousand five hundred years, some cultivators of poorer aptitude were still struggling in the Nascent Soul Stage.

Take the Gold Family Cultivator, for instance. He was over three thousand years old, and if not for Qin Changqing, he would have not been able to break through to the state of being Deified.

When Liu Xinshui and Liu Xinyue were over fifteen hundred years old, the strongest among them, Liu Xinshui, was only at the sixth level of Nascent Soul Stage.

Compared to them, Butterfly Cloud Peak Master, who had reached the Peak of Refining Void in two thousand five hundred years, was a true genius!

Enough to have countless cultivators grinding their teeth with envy.

But.

Butterfly Cloud Peak Master had been held back by the bottleneck for several thousand years, and she was still unable to reach the completion of Refining Void.

Unless she breaks through this bottleneck, there would be no way for her to aim at surpassing the Refining Void.

So, the Tianluo Sect Master’s reflection did not resonate with the Butterfly Cloud Peak Master.

On the contrary, a sense of helplessness arose in Butterfly Cloud Peak Master’s heart.

She had already reached the age of ten thousand, yet she still didn’t see any hope of breaking through the bottleneck.

If her spiritual root were a little more special and could transform into an Immortal Spirit Root, it would be great.

Before the Five Declines of Heaven-Man hit, the Immortal Spirit Root would have no bottleneck at all.

With the Immortal Spirit Root, one just needs to focus on cultivation and take steady steps.

As long as the cultivator with an Immortal Spirit Root holds on just a little bit and moves steadily, without giving their Heart Devil a chance, and does not court death, their progress will almost be guaranteed.

On the other hand, even a first-grade spiritual root like hers, when encountering a bottleneck like this, could cause exceptional anguish.

She was still lucky.

In the past, there were countless geniuses with a Heavenly Spirit Root who encountered a bottleneck in the stages of Deifying or even the Nascent Soul

Stage.

In the long timespan of ten thousand years, she had personally witnessed this happening to more than one person.

There was once a genius with a second-grade spirit root who was stuck at the Nascent Soul Stage due to a bottleneck, and he cursed the heavens on his deathbed for giving him a rebellious spirit root but not good luck or enlightenment.

And another genius with First Grade Heavenly Spirit Root moved too hastily and encountered their Heart Capital, causing them to lose their minds in the end..
