Chapter 232: Great Breakthrough in Cultivation!

Of course, it was also fortunate that the power of the formation wasn’t extremely powerful. Yang Dingtian did not personally collect these five elements’ demonic cores. When using these demon cores to gather mystic qi, there would be an intense rejection. If this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation were extremely powerful, Yang Dingtian would have been immediately blasted to death.
The five demon cores floated in the air and started to revolve at rapid speed.
Finally, Yang Dingtian brought in a jade barrel and placed it at the center of the formation. Inside the barrel was a solution with various extremely rare medicinal ingredients. In the end, Yang Dingtian poured in an entire bottle of holy water.
The holy water was the most crucial item for this breakthrough.
Without this holy water that could bring the dead back to life, Yang Dingtian wouldn’t even be able to withstand this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. The mystic qi gathered within the radius of ten miles by the five demon cores would be very concentrated and would pour into Yang Dingtian’s body violently.
Since Yang Dingtian did not personally gather these five demon cores, the mystic qi would be in berserk and would be filled with rejection forces. With Yang Dingtian’s current cultivation, he would be forcefully ripped into pieces.
Yang Dingtian was only willing to take this risk with the secret realm’s holy water.
Yang Dingtian’s naked body had entered the barrel. He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes while circulating the mystic qi circulation chant of the Pig Slaying Sword Art.
“Fire shall burn the heart; ice shall seal the heart; wind shall move the heart; thunder shall split the heart; gold shall solidify the heart...”
“If one is fearful of the damage from the five elements, the mystic sea will not be sustained. One might suspect it is the vajra form, but it is the body of flesh and blood...”
Instantly, the mystic qi within the radius of ten miles started to revolve and gather.
The 999 ice and fire magnetism crystals that were formed into a Taichi diagram acted like an amplifier, allowing Yang Dingtian’s mystic qi absorption to be amplified by 2,000 times, absorbing all the mystic qi within the dozen miles radius.
All of the mystic qi permeated into these 999 magnetism crystals. After getting purified, they were rapidly absorbed by the five elemental demon cores.
The mystic qi within the ten miles radius was first gathered to three square meters before shrinking to a diameter of one foot and finally into Yang Dingtian’s top of the head.
From the radius of ten miles into the diameter of one foot, this concentration might not be a hundredth of the real Five Elements Yin Yang Formation, but it was already incredibly astounding. It was 2,000 times more concentrated as compared to a normal person executing the mystic qi circulation.
The powerful and concentrated mystic qi poured into Yang Dingtian’s body with extreme ferocity. It was injected into the mystic meridians before surging into his qi vessel.
This mystic qi was different from the mystic qi gathered by the Five Elements Yin Yang Formation. This mystic qi was filled with impurities and did shocking damage to the mystic meridians. They might have been purified by the 999 pieces of magnetism crystals, but even if one strand of mystic qi had a hundredth of impurities, the accumulated impurities would be stunning. When coupled with the rejection from the five elemental demon cores, the powerful mystic qi entered Yang Dingtian’s mystic meridians and barged through forcefully, nearly ripping through Yang Dingtian’s mystic meridians and tearing Yang Dingtian’s body apart.
Yang Dingtian blacked out and nearly fainted.
The ripping force was fierce, and Yang Dingtian didn’t have any strength to resist it. He watched as his veins and arteries were about to be severed, while his body was getting crushed.
Right at this moment, divine energy surged out from the holy water and instantly suppressed the dominant and violent mystic qi, eliminating the intent harm to the mystic meridians.
Just like this, the extremely concentrated mystic qi poured into the body endlessly. It filled up the mystic meridians in an instant and was rapidly condensed by the mystic meridians before entering the qi vessel.Read more chapter at vipnovel
Everything was in an orderly fashion as the mystic qi in the ten miles radius was all absorbed into Yang Dingtian’s qi vessel.
If Yang Dingtian used the regular mystic qi absorption, he would need three months to breakthrough through one level. It was equivalent to 100 days and 500 hours of mystic qi absorption.
But with this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation that cost a few billions of gold coins, the regular cultivation speed was enhanced by 2,000 times. In theory, Yang Dingtian would only need 15 minutes to breakthrough one level.
But this was the imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation after all, and there would be wastage. The greatest wastage was at the five elemental demon cores that produced a rejection. The mystic qi that ended up inside Yang Dingtian’s body was less than ten percent.
Hence, the time needed for Yang Dingtian to increase one level was around three hours.
***
Time elapsed minute after minute. When the extremely condensed mystic qi poured into Yang Dingtian’s mystic meridians, it was refined and condensed before flowing into the qi vessel.
One hour, two hours, three hours!
After three and a half hours, Yang Dingtian qi vessel was completely filled, and it started to expand drastically.
The most dangerous moment had arrived!
Right now, the mystic qi was filled with impurities, and this type of forceful breakthrough might result in the qi vessel exploding.
All of a sudden, Yang Dingtian felt an insane pain in his abdomen where his qi vessel was located.
There was a flash of white light, and the qi vessel was about to explode, it would result in the body blowing up into smithereens.
At this same moment, the holy water surged out with divine energy again. It poured into Yang Dingtian’s qi vessel to suppress the threatening mystic qi that was about to explode, eliminating the qi vessel’s damage that had yet to occur.
“Boom...”
There was a flash of white light in the qi vessel.
Subsequently, everything went into a temporary void.
A few seconds later, everything was restored!
Yang Dingtian finally broke through from 5-star Great Mystic Martial Master to 6-star Great Mystic Martial Master.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian’s body didn’t have a trace of mystic qi; all of it had been used to expand the qi vessel.
After the breakthrough, Yang Dingtian wasn’t in a hurry to conduct the next round of mystic qi absorption. He retrieved two more bottles of holy water from his spatial ring and poured it into the medicinal bath.
After the holy water repaired the damages to the qi vessel earlier, he already felt that the amount of divine energy that was leftover would be barely enough. Hence, after Yang Dingtian poured in two bottles of holy water, he hesitated and poured another bottle.
***
Immediately after, Yang Dingtian conducted the next round of mystic qi absorption.
One hour, two hours, three hours, five hours, ten hours...
For the previous level, Yang Dingtian spent over three hours to breakthrough. Twelve hours had passed. Yang Dingtian had yet to break through to the next level.
Firstly, as the mystic qi were being absorbed, the ice and fire magnetism crystals’ absorption and purifying ability would be reduced. Secondly, it was due to the impurities in the mystic qi. In just a few hours, Yang Dingtian’s mystic meridians were filled with sediments. Therefore, the amount of refined mystic qi entering the qi vessel was getting lesser.
After 13 hours, the sediments in Yang Dingtian’s mystic meridians were already much more severe than ever before. The amount of mystic qi that could enter the qi vessel was already less than a tenth.
But there was no other solution now. Even if his mystic meridians were filled with sediments, he still had to desperately breakthrough to the 7-star Great Mystic Martial Master.
Ninety-five percent!
Ninety-six percent!
Ninety-seven percent!
The mystic qi passed through the sediments in the mystic qi and flowed into the qi vessel with extreme difficulty, filling up the qi vessel, bit by bit.
Ninety-nine percent!
Hundred percent!
The final one-percent had taken up two and a half hours.
Finally, Yang Dingtian had filled the qi vessel with refined mystic qi again. Immediately after, the qi vessel started to expand and expand.
But this time, the pain from the expansion was worse. It was truly the same as getting sliced by blades. Furthermore, it was expanding with barely enough power. Yang Dingtian’s body didn’t only have sediments in his mystic meridians, but also his qi vessel.
To breakthrough at this moment was truly the same as risking his life. Of course, without the holy water, death would be certain.
Ultimately, the qi vessel had barely expanded to the extreme, and Yang Dingtian’s pain was also at the extreme.
“Boom...” Suddenly, the qi vessel flashed with a red light.
That’s right. It wasn’t white light this time, it was a red light.
Afterward, Yang Dingtian blacked out and violently vomited fresh blood before fainting.
All of the mysterious energy from the holy water surged towards Yang Dingtian’s qi vessel and mystic meridians in a frenzy.
***
It was unknown how much time had passed before Yang Dingtian opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness.
After looking at the hourglass, Yang Dingtian noticed that he had been unconscious for four to five hours.
Yang Dingtian quickly checked his qi vessel, and it was fortunate that he had broken through!
Yang Dingtian had painstakingly broken through to the 7-star Great Mystic Martial Master. Even with the holy water, it was still very dangerous earlier. His qi vessel had already started to rupture as it had flashed with a red light instead of white light. In the end, the holy water managed to rescue Yang Dingtian’s qi vessel and life. But had it been just a little bit more, Yang Dingtian would have died from the explosion.
Yang Dingtian noticed that the medicinal bath was blood red, and it was all the fresh blood that was exuded by Yang Dingtian.
This imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation might have very fast cultivation speed, but it must not be used ever again. Just two levels of breakthroughs had nearly cost Yang Dingtian his life, and this was with the holy water. If Yang Dingtian were to breakthrough for the third time, even with a few times more holy water, Yang Dingtian’s life wouldn’t be able to be rescued anymore.
This holy water might be able to bring the dead back to life, but in events of qi vessel explosion, the entire body would be blown into smithereens. No matter how incredible the holy water was, it wouldn’t be able to do anything.
Furthermore, this kind of forceful mystic qi absorption formed a terrifying amount of sediments in the mystic qi. Yang Dingtian’s current mystic meridians were like a river that had run dry and was filled with sludge as the water was completely unable to flow through.
With his current mystic meridians, even if he cultivated for ten years or twenty years, there would be no progress in cultivation.
Hence, such shortcuts for breakthrough must not happen again. Even if Qin Mengli were the wealthiest person in the world, she probably wouldn’t be able to provide the items required for this imitation of Five Elements Yin Yang Formation again.
Yang Dingtian exited this jade barrel and entered another medicinal bath to recuperate his body.
Two hours later, Yang Dingtian had to conduct the fifth stage of meridian cleansing.
