Mount Everest.
This is a World-renowned high mountain, and many people consider reaching the summit of Everest an honor.
Mount Everest stands over eight thousand meters tall, where the air is thin and temperatures are extremely low. In winter, the summit of Everest can drop to fifty degrees below zero.
And today, two figures appeared on Mount Everest.
The biting wind pierced through their clothes, snowflakes landed on them, and the thin air caused one of them to momentarily stop breathing.
"Is this what it feels like to climb Mount Everest without equipment?"
Ailer took some time to adapt to the thin air on Mount Everest, but the sub-zero temperatures and winds exceeding one hundred kilometers per hour were still challenging for Ailer.
Beside Ailer, Sorcerer Ancient One seemed unfazed. She clasped her hands behind her back, and her clear voice was perfectly audible even in the wind and snow.
"A harsh environment helps forge a powerful spirit." Sorcerer Ancient One turned to look into Ailer's eyes. "How long do you think you can survive here without protection?"
"A few hours?" Ailer thought for a moment. "I've never been in such an extreme environment."
Hearing this, Sorcerer Ancient One smiled faintly, then shook her head and said, "You will soon know how long you can last. What you need to do now is meditate cross-legged here."
"Meditate cross-legged? Sorcerer, at least give me a cushion. It wouldn't be fun if my backside stuck to the rock." Ailer requested from Sorcerer Ancient One.
"Here you go." Sorcerer Ancient One did not refuse Ailer. She casually tossed a cushion to Ailer.
After receiving the cushion, Ailer spread it beneath him, then sat cross-legged. He slightly closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to meditate.
Whether it's magic or Qi cultivation, meditation is a crucial step that is hard to avoid. The scriptures shared by Kunlun also mention the benefits of cultivating Qi during meditation.
Even with the biting cold wind around him, Ailer remained unmoved, as if he had entered his own World.
Just then, Sorcerer Ancient One's voice resonated in his ears. Her voice was clear and bright, as if imbued with a mysterious magic that could transport one to another World.
"The World you can access is the material World. Matter is not the entirety of this World; matter determines the foundation of this World, but it is thought that shapes this World."
"The Universe we are in is not the only one. This Universe is just one among infinite Universes. Worlds are infinite; some are filled with justice, some with evil, and there are even mysterious existences that were born long before time itself."
Although Ailer kept his eyes closed, he felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, and he ascended higher and higher, until he was far from Earth, even far from the Solar System, and even the Milky Way Galaxy. In the end, even the Universe became tiny, and he looked around to see countless infinite Universes.
"You can admire the scenery slowly. Once your horizons are broadened, you should pay attention to yourself." Sorcerer Ancient One 'called' Ailer back and reminded him:
"Three hours have passed, and your body temperature has started to drop. This is not a good sign."
"What should I do?" Ailer's lips moved as he noticed his own condition.
"You must imagine yourself as a part of this World. If you are a part of this snowy mountain, how could you fear it?"
Sorcerer Ancient One stayed with Ailer on this snowy mountain for three hours, but her expression remained calm, and her body temperature never dropped.
"Allow your spirit to become more focused in this environment. When your spirit reaches its limit, you must feel everything in this World, and finally, construct an image of this entire snowy mountain in your mind." Sorcerer Ancient One instructed Ailer on how to proceed.
Ailer followed Sorcerer Ancient One's instructions. He began to concentrate his spirit to the maximum extent, and then started to perceive this World.
Because his spirit was focused to the maximum, Ailer's perception capabilities were greatly enhanced. He could even perceive the direction of every gust of wind and the shape of every snowflake.
Wind, snow, mountain—various elements converged, ultimately forming a complete picture in Ailer's mind.
In the real World, Ailer's body temperature stopped dropping, and his entire being began to merge with the natural environment.
Sorcerer Ancient One nodded at this scene, thinking to herself, 'He can learn just by being told once. This child's talent is truly extraordinary.'
After about another two hours, Sorcerer Ancient One woke Ailer, then opened a portal and brought Ailer back to Kamar-Taj.
Wang had been waiting for a long time. He draped a blanket, warmed over a stove, around Ailer and gave Ailer a cup of hot tea.
Ailer, who had just spent five hours in a forty-degree-below-zero environment, had somewhat stiff hands. The blanket on his back made him feel very comfortable, and the hot tea made his hands flexible again.
"Is this spiritual cultivation?" After returning, Ailer found his senses much more acute. This was a sign of his spiritual power increasing.
Meditating for five hours in a forty-degree-below-zero environment without any protection measures is indeed the fastest way to force out human potential, but if an ordinary person were to try it, they wouldn't even last half an hour.
After a while, Ailer finally asked Sorcerer Ancient One, "Sorcerer, your teaching methods are truly extreme. Do you teach other sorcerers to concentrate their spirit this way too?"
"No, you are different from them. Your potential is bottomless." Sorcerer Ancient One replied, "And this is the fastest way to achieve results. I will fulfill your desire and help you grow in the shortest time possible. Today was just the basics; I will increase the difficulty later."
"I understand." Ailer nodded, mentally preparing himself for the days ahead.
After this, Ailer was stimulated by Sorcerer Ancient One's various extreme methods, and his own spiritual power grew rapidly under these circumstances.
Although Ailer could not communicate with Vishanti using spiritual power like the sorcerers, and draw magic for his own use, his spirit was like raw iron, constantly tempered by Sorcerer Ancient One until it truly became refined.
Time flew by rapidly; today was already December 2009.
Ailer had arrived at Kamar-Taj around September of last year. Nearly a year and a few months had passed, and he was finally about to complete his training at Kamar-Taj.
After arduous spiritual cultivation, Ailer successfully gained an indomitable spiritual power.
As Sorcerer Ancient One put it, 'Even if a demonic symphony orchestra sang in your ear, you wouldn't waver in the slightest. You are ready to graduate.'
At this point, it was time for Ailer to leave. He tidied his appearance, changed back into the clothes he arrived in, and prepared to bid farewell to Sorcerer Ancient One.
