Chapter 430: Chapter 225: Next Time, I’ll Still Mess Up the Two-legged Beast
In an instant, an invisible vortex of Spiritual Qi slowly formed with the Five Elements Array Plate at its center.
The very air inside the Cultivation Chamber seemed to freshen considerably. Wisps of Five Elements Spiritual Qi, far purer and more distinct in their elemental properties than ever before, condensed and formed. They gathered above the Array Plate, creating a five-colored, shimmering cloud of Spiritual Qi that was invisible to the naked eye, but which Yang Qi could clearly perceive.
’The efficiency is truly worlds apart!’
Yang Qi suppressed the urge to begin cultivating immediately. He checked the Array’s operation once more, confirming there were no errors, blockages, or conflicts. Only then did he walk to the center of the Array Plate and sit down cross-legged.
He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to circulate the Great Derivation Spirit-Controlling Technique.
The moment he began circulating the Cultivation Technique, Yang Qi felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
The Spiritual Qi gathered by the Five Elements Array Plate was not only far more abundant than before, but its purity had also increased by several orders of magnitude!
The sharpness of Metal Spiritual Qi, the vitality of Wood Spiritual Qi, the suppleness of Water Spiritual Qi, the intensity of Fire Spiritual Qi, and the sturdiness of Earth Spiritual Qi.
The five types of Spiritual Qi had distinct properties, yet under the Array Plate’s harmonizing influence, they generated one another in a perfect cycle, flowing ceaselessly into his body.
Inside his Dantian, the pale green vortex of qi was like a parched land receiving welcome rain. Its rotation suddenly accelerated as it frantically absorbed and refined the influx of pure Spiritual Qi, converting it into his own Magical Power.
His Magical Power was growing several times faster than ever before!
A faint, pleasant warmth spread through his meridians as they were cleansed by the pure Spiritual Qi.
’Cultivation has never been this efficient, this invigorating!’
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Qi felt the Magical Power in his Dantian swell to a critical point. The vortex was spinning at its absolute limit, and a faint, swelling ache began to throb from within.
’This is the sign of being at the Peak of Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, of touching the bottleneck!’
Without hesitation, a thought flashed through Yang Qi’s mind. He retrieved three lustrous, longan-sized Gathering Spirit Pills from his Hundred Pouches Belt and swallowed them in one gulp.
The pills melted the instant they entered his mouth, transforming into three surging yet gentle warm currents. They rushed through his entire body before converging in his Dantian. There, they joined forces with the incoming Five Elements Spiritual Qi in a pincer attack, violently slamming against the invisible barrier of the bottleneck!
BOOM—
It felt as if a clap of thunder had exploded inside his body. The bottleneck shook violently but didn’t break.
Yang Qi’s expression remained unchanged. He took out three more Gathering Spirit Pills and swallowed them.
An even more potent medicinal power erupted. It combined with the vast amount of pure Spiritual Qi from the Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, transforming into an unstoppable torrent that launched a final, decisive assault on the teetering bottleneck.
Once, twice, three times...
CRACK!
A soft sound, like a cracking eggshell, echoed from deep within Yang Qi’s body.
It was a sound not heard with his ears, but perceived by his very soul.
The bottleneck that had plagued Yang Qi for days was finally and utterly shattered by the surging power.
His Dantian trembled, and the space within seemed to expand. The vortex of qi abruptly contracted, becoming far more condensed and pure. Its rotation slowed, adopting a steady, profound rhythm.
At the center of the pale green vortex, a faint crystalline glimmer had appeared.
A surge of Magical Power—far stronger, purer, and more easily controlled than before—instantly flooded his entire body.
Faint crackling sounds echoed from his very frame—a sign that his muscles, bones, and flesh were being tempered and strengthened by the breakthrough.
His Spiritual Sense seemed to clear, its perceptual range expanding slightly.
Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer!
’Success!’
WHOOSH—
Yang Qi slowly let out a long breath of turbid air. As it left his body, it carried a faint, greyish-black tinge—impurities that had been expelled from within.
He opened his eyes, and a brilliant light flashed within them in the darkness before quickly receding, leaving them calm once more.
Feeling the surging Magical Power—now several times more potent—coursing through his body, and sensing the slight enhancement to his Spiritual Sense, a gratified and satisfied smile spread across Yang Qi’s face.
’The Five Elements Array Plate truly lives up to its reputation!’
’The help from the Gathering Spirit Pills was also just what I needed.’
This breakthrough was a smooth success.
His power had ascended to a new level.
’Just one more breakthrough, and I’ll be a Qi Cultivation Great Cultivator!’
