In the luxurious and comfortable first-class cabin, Chen Yue checked his light brain. After a month, the red dot at the access point had been reduced to the size of a grain of rice. It was estimated that it would disappear completely soon. By then, he would be able to find out what mutations had occurred to the light brain after his transmigration.

  Even the items and magic pets in the game had appeared. He was really looking forward to what big surprises the light brain could bring him.

  After carefully putting away the light brain, Chen Yue lay on the soft bedding, closed his eyes, and a moment later, his whole body was immersed in the perception of the source of life. Now, he no longer needed to put himself in a dangerous situation to perceive the source of life. As long as he meditated for a quarter of an hour, he could enter that magnificent and majestic starry sky.

  If other apostles knew about this situation, they would probably be so jealous that they would want to tear Chen Yue to pieces.

  The source of life was not something that could be easily obtained. For most apostles, if they could perceive the source of life once in ten meditations and maintain that state, they would be extremely grateful. Not to mention that there were a large number of apostles who could only enter that state through extremely dangerous stimuli for a long period of time. The cultivation of apostles was based on long periods of time and countless repetitions.

  Compared with them, Chen Yue's achievements were already extremely extraordinary.

  The mysterious starry sky where the source of life was located was called the Source Space. In the perception of apostles, the Source Space had always been shrouded in eternal darkness. Only the life source as bright as the sun and a small part of the nearby area could be perceived.

  Every time he perceived it, Chen Yue could feel that the Source Space had expanded a little, and more dark areas were illuminated by the source of life. Although the magnitude of this change was extremely small, in the eyes of apostles who were extremely familiar with the Source Space, it was clearly visible.

  Taking advantage of his own advantages, Chen Yue continuously repeated this process. Although each perception would cause a large amount of mental exhaustion, as soon as he recovered, Chen Yue would immediately perceive it again.

  With such diligent cultivation, Chen Yue's Source Space was constantly expanding, and its speed was enough to make anyone jealous.

  However, recently, the size of the Source Space had stopped changing, as if it had reached a certain limit.

  A bottleneck.

  If there was no way to break through, he would have to stay at this level forever and make no progress.

  Shaking his head in distress, Chen Yue withdrew from his meditation, puzzled in his heart. It had only been a month since he truly became an apostle. There was no way he could have reached a bottleneck.

  Generally speaking, only when facing rank advancement would a bottleneck appear. However, even if Chen Yue dared to think big, he wouldn't think that he had reached the point of advancing from the first rank to the second rank so easily.

  It was absurd.

  If apostles could reach a bottleneck so easily, then high-rank apostles would be everywhere.

  However, whether it was a bottleneck for rank advancement or not, as long as it was a constraint, it must be broken. This was Chen Yue's belief.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  Although he hadn't broken through all the time, in the last few times when he entered the Source Space, Chen Yue was pleasantly surprised to find that the constraint had loosened a little.

  This was a sign before a breakthrough.

  At this point, Chen Yue was not in a hurry instead. He even took the initiative to reduce the number of perceptions.

  Based on his experience in his previous life, Chen Yue knew that the more important the moment was, the less he could be careless. Only by maintaining the best physical and mental conditions could the possibility of a breakthrough be greater.

  After getting up from the bed, Chen Yue assumed a strange posture and began to practice the “Health Preservation Formula”. After the six postures were presented in sequence, the tiredness in his body was immediately swept away.

  The surging power flowed through his body, making Chen Yue feel an urge to release it. A flash of inspiration passed through his mind, as if predicting something.

  Chen Yue didn't pay much attention to it. He just repeated the postures of the “Health Preservation Formula”. Slowly, his mind became clear and empty. He felt muddled and couldn't sense his own existence.

  If there were outsiders present, they would find 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.

  After a long period of exercise, these six postures had already become an instinct of his body.

  Gradually, the transformation between the six postures became faster and faster. Every time he transformed to the sixth posture, his body would unconsciously sway, as if there was an impulse, an instinctive urge to continue.

  If Chen Yue were sober, with his control over his body, this situation would definitely not occur. But now, this trend was gradually strengthening and reached its peak.

  Smoothly, the six postures passed one by one without any stagnation, reaching the peak of skill. In the next moment, naturally, following that instinctive trend, Chen Yue automatically assumed a posture that didn't belong to the previous six.

  The seventh posture.

  Since the out-of-body state had occurred last time, Chen Yue had never dared to try this posture again. However, when he did it at this time, there was no stiffness or sluggishness at all. Instead, it seemed as if he had practiced it thousands of times and was extremely natural.

  There was no sign of pain on Chen Yue's face, indicating that he hadn't fallen into the terrifying out-of-body state again.

  If Chen Yue were sober at this time, he would surely be overjoyed.

  However, this was not the end.

  After the seventh posture, driven by instinct, Chen Yue separated his feet 180 degrees, squatted down slightly, and his left hand drew an arc from behind and pressed against three inches below his knee.

  The eighth posture.

  ...

  Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his mind, as if something had been torn apart. The intense discomfort immediately pulled Chen Yue out of the clear and empty state.

  After realizing that he was squatting on the ground in a strange posture, an extremely astonished expression immediately appeared on Chen Yue's face.

  When he compared it with the postures in his memory, his heart began to beat violently out of control.

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

  The ninth posture. His body had assumed the ninth posture.

  What was going on? He had actually achieved this.

  The 108 postures of the “Health Preservation Formula” were divided into groups of nine postures each. Now, he had actually completed the first level.

  Just a moment ago, he had failed at the seventh posture. But after a strange clear and empty state, he had somehow reached the peak of the first level. Thinking about these, Chen Yue felt as if he were in a dream.

  “After all, what happened when I lost consciousness?”

  ...

  After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yue finally accepted the fact. Vaguely, he understood that this leap must be related to that state. Unfortunately, after trying several times, he couldn't enter that state again.

  Anyway, he had ultimately made a leap-forward progress. Chen Yue understood this very well.

  For fear that the memory of his body would disappear, Chen Yue repeated these nine postures countless times. Only when he was sure that his body had a faint memory of them did he stop reluctantly.

  The cultivation of the “Health Preservation Formula” couldn't be achieved overnight. Although there were still many difficulties in performing the eighth and ninth postures, especially the ninth posture, which always felt restricted when being performed, just the current achievements were already enough to make Chen Yue very satisfied.

  At this time, Chen Yue realized that unconsciously, the sun had already set in the west. Although his whole body was filled with surging power and he felt that he could kill a dragon with one punch, the rumbling hunger in his stomach reminded him that it was time to eat.
