My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 42 - 041 The main culprit is Miss Yun

He hesitated for a long time, deciding to first make a breakthrough and then consume the Jade Splendor Primordial Qi and Celestial Dao Wood Spirit Qi to enhance his aptitude.

"..."

Before cultivation, one needs to prepare. The Daoist family emphasizes the "Five Hearts Facing Heaven" — the heart of each palm, the heart of each foot, and the heart of the head, all facing upward.

It is said that this posture is beneficial for the smooth flow of meridians and the stabilization of thoughts.

Back then, Xu Chang’an used every method imaginable to increase his cultivation speed, but found that the "Five Hearts Facing Heaven" had no effect on him.

Xu Chang’an sat comfortably on the pillow, then took out a Source Opening Pill and placed it in front of him. His gaze steady, the chaotic thoughts in his mind gradually faded, and he calmed down.

As his breathing became gradually longer, the Breathing Technique took effect, and a slight amount of Spiritual Qi from the air was absorbed into his body, gathering in the lower abdomen and then circulating through his meridians.

This Spiritual Qi was very weak, like sipping water from a large bowl with a thin straw, resulting in a slow absorption of Spiritual Power.

This was the norm for his usual cultivation.

Xu Chang’an gradually adjusted the internal energy of his body, preparing to break through the barrier of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer when his essence, energy, and spirit were in the optimal state.

"..."

The time spent in cultivation passed quickly, and by the time Xu Chang’an’s Spiritual Power had circulated a few times, it was already night.

On Celestial Bright Peak, Yun Qian’s room was shrouded in darkness, as she didn’t even light a lamp when Xu Chang’an wasn’t there.

Reclining on the couch, she held a book in her hands, reading the slightly immature words under the starlight that filtered into the room, her beautiful eyes reflecting the text.

She gently placed the book on her chest and blinked, her gaze passing through the lattice window.

What is the ultimate purpose of cultivation?

People often say it’s for longevity.

Yet longevity is not difficult. Even if Xu Chang’an were farming at home, longevity would be something he could easily attain.

If longevity isn’t important, then what is cultivation for...

After much thought, Yun Qian felt the answer still lay in the word "happiness."

Actually, Xu Chang’an had told her that cultivation was to allow her to have children, and before that, she hadn’t cared about cultivation at all.

Just like how she casually suppressed Xu Chang’an’s "system," she did so spontaneously, without much thought.

After all, the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth and Impermanence Dao Xu Chang’an spoke of... greatly frightened her.

So as the closest existence to her in the world, Xu Chang’an naturally made the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fearful.

It wasn’t rejection; it was fear.

That’s why his cultivation was so slow, because the Spiritual Power avoided him, and only the parts with impurities could be absorbed.

"..."

Yun Qian untied the ribbon on her head, her long hair cascading to the edge of the bed, the starlight casting a shimmering glow on her dark locks.

She didn’t understand cultivation, so the system had to find a way to make up for her husband’s fear of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi; otherwise, she would be unhappy.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao System still had a way to compensate. The Jade Splendor Primordial Qi was meant to negate the negative effects he faced and put everything back on track.

Hmm.

In fact, the Jade Splendor Primordial Qi does not enhance Xu Chang’an’s talent; its sole purpose is to reveal the talent suppressed by the title of "husband of Yun Qian."

"..."

Now, Miss Yun realized her mistake.

If Xu Chang’an discovered that his cultivation speed was affected by her, would he, like in the books, find various ways to teach her a lesson?

After all, she truly impacted his pursuit of the Supreme Principle of Heaven and Earth, the Impermanence Dao...

The books say hindering someone’s path to the Dao brings serious consequences, akin to the deep enmity of slaying one’s parents, an unforgivable crime.

"..."

Yun Qian pondered for a moment, suddenly wondering if Xu Chang’an could bring himself to mistreat her.

After pondering, she felt that their enmity was a fallacy; after all, they both shared the same pillow, which was far more intimate than just being under the same azure sky.

Yun Qian lay on Xu Chang’an’s usual side of the double pillow, inhaling the reassuring scent, then gently turned and hugged the pillow, closing her eyes.

Hmm.

His slow cultivation wasn’t Miss Yun’s fault; Miss Yun was just an ordinary person, and she was a bit tired.

Take a short rest, and have a little dream.

——

Muyu Peak.

The wind rose.

Strong winds swept across the lake, creating ripples on the surface.

The moon hung long and thin in the starry sky, and the moonlight fell slowly, casting Xu Chang’an’s clothes in snow-like white.

Feeling still repelled by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, even after several hours he hadn’t gathered much True Yuan, yet Xu Chang’an did not break out of his meditation.

He had long been accustomed to it.

At this moment, he adjusted to his peak state, with all Spiritual Power driven to the most active state, ready at any moment to strike the barrier of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

Succeed in one go, then fall weak, thrice becomes exhausted.

The first attempt is particularly important.

So, even with the Open Source Talisman guaranteed to provide a breakthrough, Xu Chang’an adjusted his state to the best.

He swiftly consumed the Source Opening Pill in front of him.

The elixir entered his mouth, transformed into Spiritual Qi and merged into the Elixir Field.

If the Spiritual Power in his body were likened to soldiers preparing to siege a city, then the Source Opening Pill was like a war drum — once it was swallowed, it instantly mobilized the activity of Spiritual Power, boosting the soldiers’ morale high.

It was time to use the system-provided item.

Xu Chang’an thought of his wife’s face.

The purpose of cultivation was to protect Miss Yun.

He invoked the System Space and calmly used the Open Source Talisman.

In an instant, the effect of the Source Opening Pill was amplified dozens of times, with the Spiritual Qi that was like a stream surging into Xu Chang’an’s narrow meridians, making him feel as if his whole body was about to crack.

"Hiss..."

The overwhelming pain made Xu Chang’an feel momentarily dazed, but his gaze quickly regained clarity. He activated the Breathing Technique, urging the river-like Spiritual Qi to flow throughout his body.

Qi Cultivation is essentially a process of Spiritual Power thoroughly cleansing the body. For a person like him with naturally narrow meridians and not-so-great talent, pain was unavoidable.

——

After circulating for several cycles, Xu Chang’an’s body felt as if it had gone through a wash, completely drenched.

He opened his eyes.

The time had come.

Mobilizing all the amplified Spiritual Qi within him, he smashed it like a tsunami wave against the barrier of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

"Crack... "

Xu Chang’an thought he heard the slight sound of glass shattering in his mind.

Suddenly.

He seemed to have crossed a barrier; the moisture on his body instantly froze, then shattered into fragments.

Suddenly, he heard other sounds.

The lake water surged but was not noisy, only a gentle sound of the wind.

The backyard’s spring water splashed onto the red tiles, flowing to the ground like the work of a loom.

The wind past the grass brought a sense of warmth.

Was this the feeling of being recognized by heaven and earth?

He... had successfully broken through.

Having successfully opened the source, his body would undergo some changes. After the initial feeling of exceptional vitality, Xu Chang’an gradually became groggy, suddenly overwhelmed by an immense sense of weakness.

Using the pillow as a rest, he lay down to sleep... and in his dream, Miss Yun was already waiting for him.
