Chapter 621: Chapter 551: Combat Power Soars!

More than ten days later, Ye Yuanshan attended the meeting of former senior officials, where a group of retired elders looked to him as their leader, making him the undisputed protagonist of the meeting.

The overall situation was set, and the Ye Family’s momentum was unstoppable!

After the meeting concluded, some politically astute magnates made this judgment.

The facts confirmed their judgment—ten days after the old cadres’ meeting ended, Ye Wenhao was transferred back from the Southeast Asia Special Zone to Yanjing, taking the most crucial step that basically disqualified several competitors, including Bai Guotao, from the competition.

Just as Hua Xia’s political arena was beginning to draw the curtain on a years-long struggle that went from layout to contest, the Hua Xia Cultivation World was surprisingly lively with cultivators from all over gathering at Mount Tian.

All this was due to one piece of news: Just like twenty-odd years ago, the increase in the quantity of Earth’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was because of an anomaly on Mount Tian!

As for... the specifics of the anomaly, opinions varied widely.

Some said that Mount Tian, being the holy mountain of Huaxia and even the world, had absorbed the Earth’s Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi over the past years and was now returning it; others said there was a supreme formation on Mount Tian that connected to the heavens and the earth, causing a dramatic increase in Primordial Qi; still others asserted that Mount Tian harbored a world-shocking Divine Treasure about to emerge, containing the secrets of the decline and disappearance of the Ancient Cultivation World.

Regardless of which theory it was, any were enough to pique people’s curiosity, thus attracting a large number of cultivators to explore the mysteries within.

For them, even if they couldn’t unravel the mystery, it didn’t matter much; they considered it a form of training and afterward stayed on Mount Tian to watch the biennial Qing bang competition.

Ye Fan was the instigator and witness of this anomaly, yet he did not rush to Mount Tian; instead, he followed Chu Xuanji back to Spirit Mountain.

"Awooo~"

In the early morning, as the distant sky spat out the pale light of dawn, a wolf’s howl echoed through Spirit Mountain.

At the summit of Spirit Mountain, a wolf as sturdy as a calf howled towards the sky.

Ye Fan sat cross-legged on a rock beside Little Wolf with the Bloodline Token floating above his head. Streams of pure Primordial Qi flowed continuously from it, entering his Bai Hui point on the top of his head.

That day, Ye Fan had resisted the second level of Dan Tribulation with the help of the Bloodline Token, absorbing a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Although the Primordial Qi wasn’t quite essence-level, it was much purer than what he would normally absorb under regular circumstances.

For this reason, over the past period, Ye Fan had been absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from within the Bloodline Token to solidify his Martial Arts Cultivation.

"Logically, after so many days of cultivation, I should have solidified my Martial Arts Cultivation. Why can’t I control the Power as easily as before?"

When the first rays of sunset pierced the horizon from east to west, Ye Fan slowly opened his eyes, his features fraught with confusion.

Over the past more than ten days, besides cultivating the Flying Sword Skill, he had devoted all his energy to solidifying his Martial Arts Cultivation.

However, up to now, he still couldn’t control the Innate Great Perfection realm’s Power at will— the Power in the 108 Power Seeds was like scattered sand, more like wild horses that had broken free, beyond his control.

All this indicated that he had not yet solidified his Martial Arts Cultivation and couldn’t use the Innate Great Perfection realm Power at will.

"Could it be because there are too many impurities in the Power, not pure enough?"

Ye Fan pondered thoughtfully, then tried to continue condensing the Power within the 108 Power Seeds, only to find he had reached a bottleneck and couldn’t condense it further.

"Where did I go wrong?"

Ye Fan, not willing to give up, used his mental perception to carefully sense each Power Seed, trying to find the reason.

One seed, two seeds, three seeds...

As time passed, Ye Fan’s Mind Power swept like threading a needle, carefully sensing the Power Seeds within his body.

"What... what’s happening??"

Moments later, just as Ye Fan’s Mind Power swept over the last Power Seed, all 108 Power Seeds suddenly began to rotate wildly.

Taken aback, Ye Fan immediately steadied his mind and continued to sense carefully with his Mind Power, only to find that the Power in his body began to condense automatically— as the 108 Power Seeds spun frenetically, impurities were expelled, and then disseminated through his pores to the outside of his body, as if detoxifying.

The whole process was very brief, but Ye Fan was surprised to find that the Power within his body had condensed substantially.

"Now, I should have solidified my Martial Arts Cultivation and be able to control the Innate Great Perfection’s Power at will, right?" Overjoyed, Ye Fan was ready to try.

At that moment, another unexpected change occurred!

The 108 Power Seeds simultaneously stopped spinning, and streams of Power gushed from the Power Seeds like fountains, then gathered together into a torrent, rushing to every corner of Ye Fan’s body.

In an instant, an indescribable pain spread throughout Ye Fan’s body; it felt like thousands of ants were biting him, causing unbearable pain!

However—

Before Ye Fan could understand what was going on, the pain intensified suddenly!

His meridians seemed to tear apart, his internal organs seemed to shatter, his bones felt as though they were being scraped with knives, and his blood flow accelerated...

This sudden onslaught caused Ye Fan to have his hair stand on end. He fell to the ground, curled up, his facial muscles completely distorted, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

Fortunately, his will was extremely strong, and he endured this torment that made life worse than death.

"Wuu wuu~"

Noticing something was wrong with Ye Fan, Little Wolf was frightfully alarmed, immediately coming forward to lick Ye Fan’s face, as if asking what was wrong with him.

"Crackle and pop!"

Without response, strange sounds came from Ye Fan’s body; it felt like it was about to explode, and the pain from deep within his soul almost blurred his consciousness!

"Awoo!!"

Hearing the distress, Little Wolf howled in fear, sprang up, and darted into the forest, intending to find Chu Xuanji.

Right after Little Wolf left, Ye Fan suddenly discovered that the pain began to lessen, and his consciousness gradually returned.

Hmm?

As consciousness just restored and senses became clear, Ye Fan immediately smelled an offensive odor. Lowering his head, he discovered that his body was covered in black filth, as if he had crawled out of a mud pond.

"After the breakthrough to the Innate Great Perfection realm, all bodily functions had been enhanced, so why are they increasing again?" Seeing this scene, Ye Fan was astonished.

Without an answer, Ye Fan merely felt his flesh become denser, his bones as hard as iron, his meridians resilient, and his organs vibrant with life. Strength filled him from head to toe!

He even had a surreal feeling—he could, relying solely on his physical strength, kill an elephant with his bare hands!

"This..."

The sudden change first caught Ye Fan by surprise, but then a rush of ecstasy filled his heart!

He immediately released his mind to inspect his body.

The next moment.

Ye Fan froze on the spot as if someone had cast an immobilization spell on him.

Because, he shockingly discovered that a torrent of power connected the 108 Power Seeds within him, as if they were one entity.

Besides, the 108 Power Seeds operated on their own, forming a strange connection with each other, exuding a sense of mystery.

"Whew!"

Moved by a thought, Ye Fan suddenly sat up and threw a punch casually.

"Bang—"

With that punch, the torrential inner strength in Ye Fan’s body surged into his right fist in an instant, exploding like a bomb, suddenly erupting with a combination of muscular strength, and directly turned the rocks ahead into rubble.

One punch shattered the stone!

Without using any martial arts!

The fearsome power left Ye Fan dumbfounded on the spot.

"You... your Martial Arts Cultivation broke through to the Half-step Gang Qi realm?"

Just then, Chu Xuanji flew over from afar and happened to witness this scene. He was somewhat moved, and after releasing his mental perception and discovering that Ye Fan still exuded the aura of the Innate Great Perfection realm, he too froze in place. Unable to help himself, he asked, "How can the attack power of the Innate Great Perfection realm be so strong? Did you just use Qi Rushes to the Sky? No, that’s wrong, there is no evil aura enveloping you! What’s going on?"

"I don’t know."

Ye Fan replied with a wry smile, "I have been meditating and cultivating all this time, trying to consolidate my Martial Arts Cultivation. Just now, not only did my body’s functions get enhanced once more, but the quality of my power also improved. Randomly throwing a punch, and it possessed such might..."

"Er..."

Hearing Ye Fan’s explanation, even as a Supreme Strongman, the second on the Dragon Ranking, Chu Xuanji was left speechless with shock, uttering, "This... this is too mystical, isn’t it? The power of that punch you just threw is by no means weaker than a full-force strike from a Half-step Gang Qi realm Cultivator, and it was just a casual punch?!"

"I also find it quite mysterious."

Ye Fan nodded in agreement, then with a thought, he faintly felt that all this must be related to his cultivation of the Nine Heavens Profound Skill.

After all, only the Nine Heavens Profound Skill could form Power Seeds in 108 vital acupoints within the body!

Who on Earth created such an aberrant Cultivation Technique as the Nine Heavens Profound Skill, and why did it appear in my mind?

Could it be related to that mysterious Crimson Gold Crown inside me?

That crimson-gold elder seemed to call it an Emperor Weapon?

And who was that crimson-gold elder? Why did he exist in such a way?

Also, what exactly were the sea of consciousness and Qi Sea he spoke of?!

For a time, Ye Fan’s mind swelled with more and more questions, but no answers.

He knew that to understand all this, his only option was to break through to the Gang Qi realm and wait for that mysterious crimson-gold elder to awaken.

"I was very worried about your fight with Emperor Bai, but now it seems unnecessary."

Just as Ye Fan was deep in thought, Chu Xuanji gradually recovered from his shock, full of anticipation, "Based alone on your Martial Arts Battle Power, you’re stronger than an average Half-step Gang Qi realm cultivator. If you can also bring that mysterious Mind Attack Secret Technique, the Flying Sword Skill, to Great Success, or let’s say your Magic Cultivation breaks through to the Half-step Gang Qi Realm, defeating Emperor Bai will not be difficult!"

"I’ll give them a surprise," declared Ye Fan confidently with a smile.

"Power into Qi, this is the hallmark of the Half-step Gang Qi Realm, applicable to both Magic and Martial Arts. This requires cultivators continuously condensing their Telekinesis and inner strength, and when Telekinesis and inner strength are condensed to a certain extent, they will turn gaseous, containing even stronger power."

Chu Xuanji reminded, "This is a long process, you can’t rush. So, I suggest you spend the next two months focusing on comprehending the Flying Sword Skill. That way, you can maximize your Combat Power."

"Alright."

Ye Fan nodded, then seemingly out of nowhere, asked, "Old guy, do you think if I break through in Magic Cultivation to the Half-step Gang Qi Realm and bring the ’Chun Light’ of the Flying Sword Skill to Great Perfection, I could defeat a Gang Qi Realm strongman?"

"The Gang Qi Realm is like an unbridgeable gulf. Counting from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to do that without relying on external aids, at most one could survive the full-force offense of a Gang Qi Realm cultivator."

Chu Xuanji smiled wryly. Although Ye Fan kept surprising him, he did not believe Ye Fan could break this law.

"Really can’t?"

Ye Fan questioned himself silently, his face full of anticipation!
