Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 93: Bottleneck

“You’re experiencing a bottleneck,” Elder Jing said slowly as she could only think of this outcome.

A bottleneck is when a cultivator hits something akin to a wall in their training as it suddenly becomes incredibly difficult to proceed.

This kind of scenario was not uncommon in the cultivation world as many that had hit a bottleneck before, remained in that cultivation realm for a month or worse, a whole decade.

Elder Jing slowly explained everything about a bottleneck and how it’s many cultivator’s nightmares to experience a bottleneck.

Once Elder Jing finished explaining, Yang Wei scratched his head slightly with a bit of disappointment.

“Does that mean I’m going to be stuck in the 8th Qi Condensation realm forever?” Yang Wei asked depressingly.

If he could no longer improve his cultivation then what has he worked so hard in the past life. 

He may be stronger than a mortal but if he were to encounter cultivators from a higher realm then wouldn’t he be no different than his youth where he could only watch as the cultivator thrash him as they please.

Elder Jing glanced around briefly and noticed no one was paying attention to them as they were focused on their own cultivation.

Heaving a soft sigh, Elder Jing vanished from her position as she appeared in front of Yang Wei.

Afterward, she grabbed his clothes and dashed toward her own tent before throwing down in the bed.

“A bottleneck may be a nightmare for all cultivators but for some, it can be considered a blessing in disguise.” Elder Jing exclaimed slowly and continued.

“After all, being in a bottleneck means you can only increase the foundation of your cultivation realm, meaning you can become stronger than others in the same realm as you.”

Yang Wei smiled bitterly at Elder Jing’s answer that almost seemed like a consoling word to mend his wound instead.

‘Maybe this is karma for getting over my head for being able to form a battle spirit and have a different soul compared to others.’ Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he felt lost.

However, his expression soon changed into one filled with determination, causing Elder Jing to be surprised as she was about to comfort him slightly.

Yang Wei stood up from the bed and he clenched his fist tightly. 

“I’m really getting too soft-headed for no reason since I forgot my very first reason for becoming a cultivator in the first place.” Yang Wei exclaimed slowly as his eyes seemed to be shining brightly.

Elder Jing couldn’t understand what just happened with Yang Wei. ‘Did Yang Wei lose his mind from encountering a bottleneck?’

Elder Jing didn’t dare to think any further as she decided to ask Yang Wei for clarification.

“What did you figure out, Yang Wei?” Elder Jing asked softly and Yang Wei smiled brightly at her.

Yang Wei jumped down the bed and directly faced Elder Jing. 

“When I was still a lowly mortal without any spiritual qi inside my body, I looked toward the sky and wondered why heaven was unfair to us. Why would they give others the ability to cultivate and become a cultivator just to bully others?” Yang Wei exclaimed and continued.

“It was at that moment where I realized something important. To become a cultivator, I shall not yield to heaven or fate. I will create my legacy.”

Afterward, Yang Wei held Elder Jing’s hand and held a solemn expression. 

With his eyes brimmed with determination, Yang Wei placed Elder Jing in his heart, allowing her to feel his beating heart.

“Do you feel my heart beating rapidly, Elder Jing? Every time I remembered my heart’s desire to become a prominent cultivator and I have never given up once despite stagnating in the first stage of the Qi Condensation realm.”

Yang Wei’s words seemed to be like a drug for Elder Jing as she stared at him without blinking at all.

“Yang Wei-” Elder Jing tried to say something but Yang Wei shook his head and leaned closer to her face.

“Elder Jing, I’ve finally understood your meaning that a bottleneck could be a blessing in disguise. Although I entered the mental state, it seemed like my mind was still clouded with the rapid cultivation process of mine that made me lose my sense of direction.” Yang Wei said with a smile hanging on his face.

Afterward, he slowly closed his eyes as he stood still in front of Elder Jing, hoping to get a kiss.

Yang Wei didn’t advance forward as he simply waited for a response from Elder Jing.

Meanwhile, Elder Jing bit her lips slightly from Yang Wei’s action which seemed to hold a deadly intention as she seemed to be unable to reject his motive.

Elder Jing held a gawking expression as she recalled Yang Wei’s ambitious words where he will create his own legacy without yielding to fate or heaven.

For some reason, Elder Jing felt her heart burning with passion whenever she recalled those words of his as she slowly tiptoed and leaned forward to kiss Yang Wei.

When Yang Wei felt Elder Jing’s soft lips touching his, he became jubilant as he extended his arm around Elder Jing’s back and started kissing her passionately for the first time.

Elder Jing didn’t refuse his embrace as she seemed to lose her strength as she placed her hands in his chest and allowed Yang Wei’s tongue to pry open the inside of her mouth.

The only sound that could be heard from the tent was the smooching between them.

At the same time, Yang Wei slowly dropped toward the bed while being lost in their lust with his hand slowly untying the strings in Elder Jing’s clothes.

Elder Jing realized what Yang Wei was doing but didn’t care anymore as she decided to be a simple girl for once without having any responsibility.

RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the tent started to tremble as the ground beneath started cracking, causing Elder Jing to stop Yang Wei’s movement.

“Seems like the pagoda is appearing now,” Elder Jing said slowly as she started tying the strings that were loose back onto her clothes.
