The Apostle

Chapter 19 - Ascending the ranks?

Chapter 19 - Ascending the ranks?

Inside the luxurious and comfortable first class cabin, Chen Yue checked the light brain, a month down the line, the red dot of the access point was already only the size of a grain of rice, it was estimated that it wouldn't take long for it to disappear completely, by then he would be able to know, after crossing over, what mutations had happened to the light brain.

Even the props and magic pets from the game have appeared, so I'm really looking forward to it, and how big a surprise Lightbrain can bring to me.

After carefully storing the Light Brain away, Chen Yue lay down on the soft bedding, closed his eyes, and after a moment, immersed his whole body and mind into the perception of the Source of Life. Now, he no longer needed to be in a dangerous situation to perceive the Source of Life, just meditate for a quarter of an hour, and he could enter the magnificent and majestic starry sky.

If the other apostles knew about this situation, they would probably be jealous and cut Chen Yue into pieces.

The Source of Life was not something that could just be picked up by hand. For most apostles, it was enough to thank God that they could perceive the Source of Life once in ten meditations and maintain it, not to mention that there were a huge number of apostles who, for a long time, could only enter that state through the stimulation of extreme danger. The cultivation of the apostles was itself based on long hours and countless repetitions.

Compared to them, Chen Yue's achievement was already extremely unbelievable.

In the Apostle's perception, the mysterious starry sky where the Source of Life was located was known as Source Space, which had always been shrouded in unchanging darkness, and only the Source of Life, which was as bright as the sun, and a small part of its vicinity, could be perceived.

Every time he sensed it, Chen Yue could feel that the source space had grown a little larger, and that more dark areas had been illuminated by the Source of Life, a change that was extremely small, but in the eyes of the Apostle, who knew the source space well, it was perfectly visible.

With his advantage, Chen Yue repeated this process uninterruptedly. Each time he perceived, although it caused a great loss of spirit, as soon as he recovered, Chen Yue immediately perceived again.

With such diligent cultivation, Chen Yue's source space was also increasing in size, at a rate that would make anyone jealous.

However, in the recent period of time, the size of the source space had stopped changing, as if it had reached some kind of limit.

It was a bottleneck.

If there was no way to break through, one could only stay at this level forever, never making an inch of progress.

Shaking his head in anguish, Chen Yue retreated from his meditation, puzzled in his mind, it had only been a month since he had truly become an Apostle, how could he have reached the bottleneck?

Generally speaking, a bottleneck would only occur when one was facing a rise in rank, but even if Chen Yue dared to think about it, he would not think that he would reach the juncture of rising from the first to the second rank so easily.

Ridiculous.

If it was so easy for an apostle to reach the bottleneck, then high-ranking apostles would have been everywhere long ago.

However, whether it was a bottleneck for ascending to the second rank or not, as long as it was a shackle, it had to be broken, this was Chen Yue's belief.

Although he had never broken through, the last few times he had entered the source space, Chen Yue was surprised to find that the shackles had loosened a little.

This was a sign before a breakthrough.

At this juncture, Chen Yue was instead in no hurry, and had even taken the initiative to lower the number of times he perceived.

From his previous life, Chen Yue knew that the more important this juncture was, the more careless he could not be, and that only by maintaining the best physical and mental condition would he have a greater chance of breaking through.

After getting up from the bed, Chen Yue struck a strange pose and practised the Nourishing Technique. After striking six poses in turn, the fatigue in his body was instantly swept away.

The power that pervaded his body flowed through him, causing Chen Yue to have a feeling of not exhaling, and a spiritual light flashed through his mind as if it was foreshadowing something.

Chen Yue did not pay much attention to it, but merely repeated the postures of the Nourishing Technique. Slowly, the spiritual platform was empty and muddled, and he could not feel his presence anymore.

If there were outsiders present, they would have noticed that Chen Yue's eyes were tightly closed, as if he had lost consciousness, but his body still automatically assumed the six postures, over and over again.

The long exercise had trained these 6 poses into the body's instinct.

Gradually, the transformation of the 6 poses became faster and faster, and each time, when transforming to the 6th pose, the body would have an unconscious sway, as if it had an urge, an instinct to continue it without spitting it out.

If Chen Yue was awake, with his control over his body, this would definitely not have happened, but now, this tendency gradually intensified and reached its peak.

Like flowing clouds, the six poses passed one by one without the slightest stagnation, having reached the pinnacle of his skills, and the next moment, just as naturally, following that instinctive tendency, Chen Yue automatically assumed a pose that did not belong to the first six.

The seventh pose.

Ever since the emergence of the Soul Leaving State, Chen Yue had never dared to try this pose again, but when he did it at this time, it was not half as dull and stiff as if he had already exercised it a thousand times, and it was incomparably natural.

On Chen Yue's face, there was no trace of pain, indicating that he had not fallen into the terrifying state of being separated from his soul again.

If Chen Yue had come to his senses at this moment, he would have been ecstatic.

However, this was not the end.

After the seventh pose, Chen Yue's body, driven by instinct, spread his feet 180 degrees apart and squatted slightly, his left hand traced an arc from behind his back and topped three inches below his knees.

The eighth pose.

......

There was a sudden sharp pain in his mind, as if something had been torn apart, and the intense discomfort immediately pulled Chen Yue out of his empty state of awareness.

After realizing that he was crouching slightly on the ground in a strange position, an incomparable look of dismay immediately appeared on Chen Yue's face.

As soon as he corresponded with the posture in his memory, his heart immediately beat violently and uncontrollably.

At this moment, his mouth was dry and Chen Yue could hardly believe what he was seeing.

The ninth pose, the body was actually in the ninth pose.

What was going on, he had actually achieved this.

The 108 postures of the Nourishing Life Technique, in groups of nine postures, and now he had actually completed the first realm.

It was clear that he had folded at the seventh posture a moment ago, but after a strange state of emptiness, he had inexplicably reached the peak of the first level. Remembering this, Chen Yue felt like he was in a dream.

"In the end, what happened while I was unconscious."

......

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Yue finally accepted the truth, and vaguely, he understood that this sudden advancement was definitely related to that state, but unfortunately, after trying several times afterwards, he could not enter it again.

No matter what, he had made a leap forward after all, and Chen Yue understood this very well.

For fear that his body's memory would disappear, Chen Yue performed these nine postures countless times until he was sure that his body had developed a faint memory of them before he stopped.

Although the eighth and ninth postures were still quite difficult to perform, especially the ninth posture, which always felt like a constraint, Chen Yue was already very satisfied with what he had achieved so far.

It was only at this time that Chen Yue realised that the sun had already set in the west. Although his whole body was so powerful that he felt like he could kill a dragon with one punch, the thundering hunger in his belly reminded him that it was time to eat
