System Break the Limit - Qing Shandian' Journey
Ch.107 - Struggle and Longing

"Ahhhhh... Why does my head hurt?" Said Qing Shandian with his moans.

"Guusshh"

He immediately let out his flame to illuminate the dark space he was in right now, while then slowly sitting in the void. He took a deep breath and muttered. "Huhhh... Thankfully, this room is locked. If this was really nothing, I might have died in the first place. It was truly unexpected that the snake-man queen possessed such a troublesome technique. I had to improve my understanding of space control... Perhaps, I need to break through the Saint King to be completely freed from this confinement... Haaha.. I don't know how long I'll be here... Goddamnit! Just watch out later! I'll teach you a good lesson!" He nodded with a grunt while clenching his hand.

Qing Shandian tried to access the system, but could not. He sighed again, then checked his storage ring. After a while of searching, he found some light stones, then took them out, and arranged them around him.

"I have to be quick... Otherwise, it will be longer for me to get out. Wenrou, Lingyun, Feng Xue, Shui Jing, father, mother, everyone, wait for me..." Qing Shandian murmured before then he took out dozens of dark blue jade bottles containing the 'Spiritual Qi Compressing Vortex Pill'. He poured the first one jade bottle into his mouth, then entered training mode.

One year passed. Qing Shandian slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath. He muttered softly in a helpless tone. "Is this all I can get from all those pills? Haasha... It was really very difficult to break through with this double dantian. The Spiritual Qi here is really very thin. Really not supportive. How much longer do I have to cultivate to break through the level?" He then took out dozens of the same jade bottles. Subsequently, he drowned again in his cultivation.

Time passes quickly. Unperceivedly, five years had passed since the first day Qing Shandian had been confined in an isolated empty space. He continued to drown in his cultivation. Hundreds of jade bottles of 'Spiritual Qi Compressing Pill' had also been spent. Despite that, it wasn't easy for him to break through to the Saint King level. Moreover, he could only rely on the help of those pills without any other support. On the sidelines of his boredom, he filled the time by meditating to understand advanced space control abilities. In addition, he also tried new things such as honing and improving his techniques. There was never a day for him to relax. When he felt frustrated, he again immersed himself in cultivation.

The Soul World. On the edge of the terrace of the second-floor house, there was a beautiful girl wearing a pensive green dress while staring at the night sky. Right, he was none other than Qing Wenrou. His gaze seemed sad as his gaze glared far away. He let out a long sigh, then muttered, "Haahhhh.. It's been five years. How are you doing now, An gege? How much longer do we have to wait until you get back? Mom and Dad keep asking about you. L'm... I miss you so much, An gege.." She was accompanied by her tears. His voice sounds heavy.

Simultaneously, Mu Lingyun, Xie Feng Xue and Xue Shui Jing had inadvertently also heard those murmurs when they had just arrived. They exchanged glances, then rushed over to Qing Wenrou. Mu Lingyun swiftly hugged him from behind. With a slightly quivering voice, Mu Lingyun said, "Sister Wenrou don't be sad. An gege must be fine. He must have missed us too. Her.. He's definitely back."

Xie Feng Xue and Xue Shui Jing also gave warm hugs to calm Qing Wenrou down. Xie Feng Xue calmly said, "Don't be sad. It's not just you who misses him. We feel the same. Better hope for the best and trust him. Her... He's definitely back."

"Emmm... He's definitely back, and we'll be able to get together again. We can only trust him, and patiently wait." Xue Shui Jing said in a calm tone, despite the fact, she also felt a tightness in her chest.

Qing Wenrou cried in silence. He could only nod his head stiffly. After a while, he inhaled a deep breath of air to calm himself down, then in a soft voice said, "Thank you. I'm calm enough now. Can you guys let me go?"

At that instant, Mu Lingyun, Xie Feng Xue and Xue Shui Jing released their hugs, then stood on the edge of the terrace parallel to Qing Wenrou while staring at the night sky.

Xie Feng Xue was slightly nostalgic when recalling her encounter with Qing Shandian. He said, "At that time, I met An gege by chance while he was taking the alchemist exam. At such a young age, he showed a talent I had never met in my journey in the world of alchemy. For some reason, I felt a familiar feeling when I first saw her. It was so comfortable and made me not want to be away from her."

Xie Feng Xue stopped. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then spoke again. "He was just a little boy physically. But my feelings said something else, as if it was telling me that what lay inside him was an old soul still asleep. When he teased me, I was really very embarrassed. However, for some reason, for the first time I could not get angry and instead it made me happy. Like, I've met him somewhere. It's just, I can't remember it. I also don't understand why I can feel it. As of this moment, I also miss. The impossible longing can be deciphered with words. But what can I do?"

Xie Feng Xue shook her head lightly and continued her words. "I realized there was nothing I could do for her. Therefore, I just kept quiet and patiently waited for him. I believe that he will return, and definitely return. Isn't this world a proof that he's still surviving?"

Mu Lingyun and Xue Shui Jing listened to that quietly, before then they too fell silent, dissolving in their respective memories.

Meanwhile, Qing Wenrou was slightly surprised when she heard Xie Feng Xue's words. He averted his gaze, then looked at Xie Feng Xue fixedly. When he found a calm expression on his face, he was immersed in his thoughts. Many questions raged in his heart. But after that, he woke up. He looked back at the night sky and said, "You guys are right. An gege will definitely come back for us someday. Yeah, he's definitely back."

After that, the atmosphere between them became calm and quiet without any more talk.

...…………………………...

Five years passed as if only a new eye had been missed. In the dark room that was only illuminated by the light stone, Qing Shandian was seen immersed in his meditation. His appearance at the moment looks different. He's getting more handsome. Her hair was elongated, and her body was also growing taller. It was visible from her clothes becoming tighter, and her sleeves slipping slightly over her wrists. A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, then exhaled a long breath.

"It seems, I need to remodel my clothes after getting out of here. It's really making me feel uncomfortable." He muttered softly, then slowly stood up, then took out the 'Star Moon Lightning Sword' and unleashed his spiritual perception. He focused his concentration on observing the fluctuations of the space around him. After a while, he felt an abnormal fluctuation of space right to his right. Quickly, he swung his sword at full force in that direction.

"Gush..Sriengh..."

"Kraa.kk..."

The space was torn wide. However, there is still no way out. Qing Shandian wasted no time. He swiftly swung his sword once more.

"Gush..Sriengh..."

"Kraa.kk..."

"Gush..Sriengh..."

"Kraa.kk..."

When his slash hit the third layer of space, it slightly exposed the outside world. Unfortunately, when the three layers of space were torn apart, the waiting time seemed to run out, then the three layers of space shifted in opposite directions. Over time, the wobble of space also closes quickly.

"Well.hah.hah.. Goddamnit! Time! Time! I need time! Huh.huh.huh.. That obviously worked. But the time is too short..." Qing Shandian exclaimed in his breath, then he sat down cross-legged and immediately recovered.

After fifteen minutes of recovery, Qing Shandian pondered while holding his chin. He mumbled slowly. "Until the current experiment, at least I've gotten quite a lot of progress, and my insight into space has also increased. The space knot here is always changing places. The time lag before his position shifted was only two breaths of time. In addition, there are three double knots of space as the key. If I can't rip it off once or twice down the street when the knots meet, I can make sure I'm stuck in this fucking room. Huuhh... It seems like it does have to break through the levels first. Hopefully the remaining stock of pills can make me break through. Just hang.. When I get out of this room, I will teach you a good and most memorable lesson.. The goddamn snake-man queen!" Quietly grumbling while gritting his teeth.

Qing Shandian inhaled a deep breath of air, then took out five dark blue jade bottles. He let out a long sigh and muttered, "Haahhh... Is this all that's left? I hope this helps me break through. If I knew it would be like this, I would have kept the 'Saint King's Penetrating Pill for myself. Shandian, Bath... You're really negligent.. Huuhh... Now is not the time to regret. Next time, I'll complete my stock of pills in the storage ring just in case."

Highlight Qing Shandian's eyes were full of hope when he saw the jade bottle before him. Without wasting any more time, he directly downed all the pills in those five jade bottles into his mouth, before then entering his training mode.

The Soul World. The atmosphere of Qing Yuan and Lin Lianhua's house did not seem as lively as usual. Within the spacious enough rooms, Qing Yuan, Qing Tian, Qing Yu, Qing Xue, Qing Wenrou, Mu Lingyun, Xie Feng Xue, and Xue Shui Jing looked dejected. Meanwhile, Lin Lianhua was lying weakly on the bed with a haggard-looking face. His skin was wrinkled and his hair was even bleached.

"Rou'er, what should we do? Don't you have any other way to wake her up?" Said Qing Yuan in a heavy voice.

"All the best efforts Wenrou has made all this time. But Mother Lin did not show any reaction. Yuan's father also knew for himself, even the 'Vitality and Durability Restoration Pill' had absolutely no effect. There's no other way but to keep waiting for An gege to come back." Qing Wenrou sauteed quietly in a helpless tone as she looked at Lin Lianhua with a sad look. His eyes looked glassy, and his chest felt tight until breathing was heavy.

The look in Qing Yuan's eyes seemed to grow dimmer after hearing Qing Wenrou's reply. It was true, all the best efforts had been made to wake Lin Lianhua up. Unfortunately, none of this showed any results.

"Anne.. Aner.. Come back, son.. Mother's little monster... When are you coming home, son? Mom misses you so much.. Go home, son.." Said Lin Lianhua in a soft and husky voice accompanied by her piercing tears.

Qing Wenrou who was sitting next to him also cried in silence. He gently rubbed Lin Lianhua's tears, then brought his lips closer to Lin Lianhua's ear and whispered, "Mother Lin.. Mother Lin must be patient. No cry.. An gege will be back soon. We all miss him too. Gege... He's definitely back..."

Qing Xue who was not far away from the two of them also stepped forward. Bending over, he held Qing Wenrou's shoulder, and said in a heavy voice, yet sounded soft. "You too don't be sad, Rou'er. Calm yourself. Let Aunt Xue take your place look after big sister Hua. Go and clean yourself." Quite frankly before then he looked at Mu Lingyun, Xie Feng Xue and Xue Shui Jing who were seen crying as well, then said, "You guys also go. Accompany Rou'er, and clean yourself up."

"Well, Aunt Xue." Their seats were in unison, then they got out of bed and slowly left the room with Qing Wenrou as well.

After their departure, Qing Xue looked at Qing Yuan, Qing Tian and Qing Yu then said, "Sister, let me take care of big brother Hua. You return. I'm sure An'er will be back soon."

Qing Yuan sighed heavily and said, "Haahhh... Alright... Please take care of Hua'er. I'll wait in the front room. If things get worse, let me know immediately."

"I'll tell big brother Yuan if big sister Hua's condition declines." Qing Xue said as she sat on the edge of the bed and wiped away Lin Lianhua's still flowing tears.

Qing Tian and Qing Yu left the room first. While Qing Yuan, he felt heartache when he saw the condition of his wife who had continued to decline since falling into a coma for the past year. He reluctantly left the room and closed the door.
