Chapter 81

Killing all the blood demons, Ye Feng finally felt that a breakthrough was imminent. Without lingering, he planned to find a secluded place to break through.

His Shadow Step technique was pushed to its limit, like a streak of light, swift as a meteor, disappearing from the blood demon battlefield, heading towards the edge.

After half an hour, Ye Feng found a cave and without hesitation, entered it. He found a large rock and used it to block the entrance. The area was dominated by towering trees, and the ground was rich in spiritual energy, covered with spiritual herbs, making it an excellent place for a breakthrough.

Sitting cross-legged, he calmed his mind. Ye Feng dared not be careless about breaking through to the Xiantian realm, especially since he had no reference experience and had to rely entirely on himself. Cultivation with the Xiantian realm as the threshold meant that only those who reached the Xiantian realm could be considered qualified cultivators.

After relaxing all his mental focus, Ye Feng began to circulate the true qi in his meridians, repeatedly refining and converting it. The moment all the true qi was converted into Xiantian true qi would be the moment he stepped into the Xiantian realm.

An hour passed, and beads of sweat began to form on Ye Feng's forehead. "Why has my true qi not produced a single strand of Xiantian true qi after such a long time? Normally, after 36 cycles, the first strand of Xiantian true qi should appear. Have I misunderstood something, or is there a problem with my body?" Ye Feng was paying attention to his body's changes while breaking through.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng had completed 72 cycles. The purity of his true qi was increasing, but he still hadn't refined any Xiantian true qi. Ye Feng felt a faint pain in his flesh, and if he continued, his body would eventually collapse.

The 100th cycle!

Ye Feng felt his meridians tearing, and they were already at their limit. The true qi from the nine dantians was incredibly powerful. If not for the transformation of his body by the Monkey Wine, he would have been torn apart long ago.

The nine dantians could give Ye Feng nine times the strength of an ordinary person, but the drawback was that the difficulty of breaking through was also nine times greater. If his body wasn't strong enough, it couldn't support the true qi from the nine dantians.

Fortunately, Ye Feng had absorbed the scales of the Tyrannosaurus Beast and the Demon Rock Beast, along with the Monkey Wine and the cultivation of the Divine Devil Nine Transformations, making his body more than ten times stronger than an ordinary person, allowing him to persist for so long.

At the 106th cycle, the feeling of his meridians tearing became more severe, reaching its limit. The true qi from the nine dantians gathered into a torrent, beginning to impact his body.

"I can't do this. My true qi is too thick. If I continue like this, I'll be torn apart by my own true qi before I can refine Xiantian true qi." Ye Feng was extremely anxious. If he continued, his body would eventually collapse.

"Monkey Wine, come out!"

Ye Feng had no other choice. There was still a large amount of Monkey Wine in his storage ring, hoping it could help him relieve the pressure and speed up the refinement of Xiantian true qi.

If his meridians ruptured, Ye Feng would become a cripple. At this critical moment, Ye Feng took out the Monkey Wine and drank it in large gulps, transforming it into a thick energy. His body began to absorb it frantically, and his meridians felt much stronger. Ye Feng increased the speed of the conversion.

In the blink of an eye, the 200th cycle passed, but Ye Feng's true qi had not yet reached the point of refining Xiantian true qi. The true qi from the nine dantians surged like a tsunami, rushing into his limbs and bones, causing his body to face a new impact.

Layers of blood vessels appeared under his skin. Ye Feng's body, which even weapons couldn't pierce, was now torn by his own true qi, showing the intensity of his true qi.

The energy from the Monkey Wine was gradually disappearing and could no longer meet Ye Feng's needs. He had to speed up the absorption. One jar after another of Monkey Wine was sent into his body, and soon, a large number of empty jars appeared on the ground. Ye Feng had absorbed more than a hundred jars of Monkey Wine.

At the 300th cycle, Ye Feng's expression was distorted, like a demon. Blood appeared all over his body, and the true qi in his meridians surged like a thousand horses galloping, like a sea roaring inside, continuously impacting his body.

After being continuously replenished by the Monkey Wine, Ye Feng's meridians, though torn and rebuilt, became even stronger, and his body became more solid, with a layer of precious light appearing on it.

At the 350th cycle!

Ye Feng felt as if he could explode at any moment. His body began to tremble, and sweat soaked his entire body. The pain was not just physical but also spiritual, as if his soul was being torn apart, causing excruciating pain.

"Ah!"

Ye Feng suddenly let out a惨叫, a tear appeared on his right arm, torn apart by his true qi. He had already completed 360 cycles, and if he continued, his entire body would be torn apart. Ye Feng had no other choice but to hope to refine Xiantian true qi as soon as possible to dissipate this terrifying force.

At the 361st cycle!

Another crack appeared on Ye Feng's body.

At the 363rd cycle!

Ye Feng's body was shaking, and he seemed unable to hold on much longer.

"I can't die. I must become a strong person!" Ye Feng roared, increasing the speed of the refinement. At the 365th cycle, the situation suddenly changed.

When Ye Feng's body was about to reach its limit, the true qi stopped surging, and a strand of Xiantian true qi was born in his meridians, flowing into his dantian. The violent momentum began to weaken.

In extreme danger, Ye Feng saw the first strand of Xiantian true qi finally refined and felt relieved. The speed of converting true qi increased dramatically.

One strand of Xiantian true qi!

Two strands of Xiantian true qi!

Three strands of Xiantian true qi!

Four strands of Xiantian true qi!

...

Ten strands of Xiantian true qi!

Ye Feng's Xiantian true qi increased at a terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, ten strands of Xiantian true qi appeared in his dantian, and the refinement continued.

A normal Xiantian realm cultivator could only refine four to five strands of Xiantian true qi during a breakthrough, and a talented one might refine ten to twenty strands. As their strength increased, the amount of Xiantian true qi would also increase.

However, Ye Feng's Xiantian true qi continued to increase at an extremely fast rate. Just a few moments ago, he had ten strands, and now he had twenty, flowing into the nine dantians.

Twenty-one strands of Xiantian true qi!

Twenty-two strands of Xiantian true qi!

Twenty-three strands of Xiantian true qi!

...

Thirty strands of Xiantian true qi!

Thirty-one strands of Xiantian true qi!

Another hour passed, and Ye Feng's Xiantian true qi had broken through thirty strands, still increasing rapidly. The nine dantians were already dry and needed Xiantian true qi to replenish them.

The places where his body had split were healing at a visible speed, and his body was even more solid than before, with a protective layer under the muscles, constantly protecting his body.

Suddenly!

A strong wind blew around Ye Feng. After breaking through to the Xiantian realm, his body felt a sense of emptiness. He had already refined forty strands of Xiantian true qi, but his body was still not saturated, and he began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, refining new Xiantian true qi.

The critical moment had arrived, and Ye Feng dared not be careless. All the spirit stones in his storage ring appeared, filling the entire cave. The liquid-like spiritual energy fused into Ye Feng's body, instantly transforming into dozens of strands of Xiantian true qi, filling the nine dantians.

The spirit stones exploded on the ground, and the spiritual energy inside disappeared. Ye Feng's body continued to absorb, and the surrounding spiritual herbs and trees began to wither, their spiritual energy being absorbed by Ye Feng.

The area around the cave became a vacuum, all the spiritual energy swept away, and it began to absorb the spiritual energy outside the cave. The surrounding spiritual energy stirred, forming vortices that rushed into the cave.

"True Spirit Pills, come out!"

With no other choice, Ye Feng took out the True Spirit Pills, crushing them in handfuls, transforming them into pure spiritual energy that entered his body, almost without refinement, converting into Xiantian true qi.

Fifty strands of Xiantian true qi!

Sixty strands of Xiantian true qi!

Seventy strands of Xiantian true qi!

Eighty strands of Xiantian true qi!

Ninety strands of Xiantian true qi!

Ye Feng was about to break through to one hundred strands of Xiantian true qi, and even he was stunned by the terrifying number of Xiantian true qi. It seemed to be increasing without stopping.

After consuming ten thousand True Spirit Pills, Ye Feng's body no longer felt as thirsty, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy slowed down. The nine dantians emitted bright spots, and in his body, bridges began to form.

"What... What is this!"

Ye Feng was always observing his body and was stunned by the sudden changes. The nine dantians were spread throughout his body, and for the first time, they were connected, with silver lines linking them together.

"This is the Nine Stars Alignment, how is this possible!"

Ye Feng saw the nine dantians light up, and with his cultivation of the Star Transformation, the Nine Stars Alignment was fully revealed, like nine bright stars in a vast universe.

The silver lines continued to interweave, and Ye Feng had no control over them, only able to let the nine dantians connect. The sudden change was beyond his control.

"Whoosh!"

When the last silver line connected, a strong wind blew around Ye Feng, and the spiritual energy that had gathered around him was instantly absorbed. This time, even the spiritual energy and herbs outside the cave could not escape, all being absorbed by Ye Feng.

The Xiantian true qi in his dantians increased at a terrifying speed, and the silver lines became brighter, gradually forming a pattern that Ye Feng could not clearly see, but the suction came from the pattern.

Suddenly!

The pattern changed, becoming a dark substance, held by the nine stars and hanging on the silver lines. It was unclear what it was, but all the spiritual energy had been absorbed by this pattern, which then transformed into Xiantian true qi and flowed into the dantians through the silver lines.

The dark pattern became clearer, and Ye Feng could slowly see its outline. It seemed to be a large cauldron, held by nine silver lines in nine directions. This large cauldron appeared to be a conduit for the nine dantians, firmly rooted in Ye Feng's body.

"Hum!"

When the pattern transformed into a large cauldron, the surroundings fell into darkness. This time, not only the spiritual energy but even the surrounding space was swallowed by Ye Feng.
