Chapter 738: Chapter 656: Successful Breakthrough_2

Streams of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi entered Ye Fan’s body and under his control, flowed along the Grand Circulation before being absorbed and transformed into inner strength, surging into one hundred and eight Power Seeds, replenishing Ye Fan’s previously consumed inner strength.

After a moment, Ye Fan’s consumed inner strength was fully recovered, and the inner strength in all one hundred and eight Power Seeds reached a saturated state.

Realizing this, Ye Fan stopped absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and began to wholeheartedly compress and condense the inner strength in his one hundred and eight Power Seeds.

This was the necessary path to breaking through to the Half-step Gang Qi realm—continuously condensing and compressing inner strength, eliminating impurities within the inner strength, enabling it to reach its purest state before evolving into a gaseous state.

Inner strength becoming Qi originates from this process!

Ordinary cultivators attempting the Half-step Gang Qi realm merely need to compress and condense the inner strength within their Dantian, evolving it into Gang Qi to declare a successful breakthrough.

Ye Fan, however, because he possessed one hundred and eight Power Seeds that formed a whole, needed to compress and condense the inner strength from all one hundred and eight Power Seeds and evolve it into Gang Qi; otherwise, activating the Gang Qi could lead to chaos and the risk of deviating from his cultivation path.

Thus, the difficulty Ye Fan faced in reaching the Half-step Gang Qi realm was far beyond that of ordinary cultivators, and the amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi required was a hundred times that of ordinary cultivators, not to mention the time and energy!

Of course, that would be under normal circumstances.

Ye Fan, because his Magic Cultivation had already broken through the Half-step Gang Qi realm and his Mind Power was far superior to that of his peers, could simultaneously compress and condense the inner strength in his one hundred and eight Power Seeds, greatly shortening the time it took to break through.

As Ye Fan’s Mind Power activated, the rotation speed of the one hundred and eight Power Seeds inside his body suddenly increased, and the inner strength within the Power Seeds formed a vortex, with impurities flowing out from the inner strength and being expelled from his body.

Time ticked away by the second.

Ye Fan completely forgot everything else, immersing himself wholly into the breakthrough, compressing and condensing his inner strength again and again, removing the impurities.

His expenditure of Mind Power was astonishing, and it wasn’t long before it nearly depleted.

"Hu~"

Realizing this, Ye Fan halted the breakthrough attempt and once again entered a state of meditation, frantically absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to convert it into Mind Power, replenishing his depleted Mind Power.

Once his Mind Power was replenished, Ye Fan didn’t pause but compressed and condensed his inner strength once more.

Compressing inner strength, absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, replenishing Mind Power consumption...

Once, twice, three times...

When Ye Fan’s Mind Power was depleted for the ninth time, he noticed that the originally saturated inner strength was only half what it had been.

Ye Fan knew that his inner strength had reached the standard for ’Inner Strength becoming Qi’.

However, Ye Fan didn’t rush to directly transform the inner strength into Gang Qi. Instead, he planned to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, replenish the consumed Mind Power, and continue to compress and condense his inner strength, striving to make it even purer.

In doing so, the Gang Qi derived from the inner strength would be much purer and more powerful.

This was something all cultivation geniuses did.

Emperor Bai and Chen Feilian had done the same.

This was also why they could possess Overlord Level Combat Power once they broke through to a new realm.

"It seems I’ve reached the limit!"

After an indeterminate amount of time, when only one-third of Ye Fan’s inner strength remained, no matter how hard he tried, he could no longer remove the impurities within the inner strength, fully aware that his inner strength had reached its purest state.

"Inner Strength to Qi, change!"

Realizing this, Ye Fan once again focused his consciousness, then concentrated all his Mind Power, fully activating the one hundred and eight Power Seeds inside his body!

In an instant.

The one hundred and eight Power Seeds inside Ye Fan’s body started to rotate frantically once again, the speed increased by several times, and the inner strength within the Power Seeds completely boiled.

Soon, strands of Gang Qi began appearing within the one hundred and eight Power Seeds in Ye Fan’s body, integrating silently into the Power Seeds, subtly improving them.

Inner Strength transforming to Qi!

This was the hallmark of breaking through to the Half-step Gang Qi realm!

Ye Fan successfully broke through the Half-step Gang Qi realm, and the Gang Qi derived from his inner strength was highly condensed, not weaker than those cultivators who had been in the Half-step Gang Qi realm for a long time.

Gradually, as the inner strength in the one hundred and eight Power Seeds became less and less, the Gang Qi increased more and more until eventually, the inner strength completely vanished, completely transformed into Gang Qi.

The Gang Qi enveloped the Power Seeds like mist, somewhat sparse, far from reaching the ultimate capacity that the Power Seeds could withstand.

"Hu~"

Realizing this, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief internally, knowing that all he needed to do next was to frantically absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, convert it into Gang Qi, and saturate the Power Seeds in Gang Qi to completely succeed in this breakthrough.

Thinking this, Ye Fan didn’t stop to rest but continued his breakthrough cultivation.

"Unable to convert Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi into Gang Qi anymore, it seems the Gang Qi is already saturated."

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Fan murmured to himself as he ceased cultivating.

With this, this session of his breakthrough cultivation successfully ended. If he were to continue forcibly absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to convert into Gang Qi, he could likely burst the Power Seeds, causing all his efforts to be wasted.

Because, with the current purity of his Gang Qi, it simply would not be able to form a Qi Vortex if the Power Seeds shattered.

This was also one of the reasons why many cultivators in the Half-step Gang Qi realm could not step into the threshold of the Gang Qi Introduction Realm: the purity of their Gang Qi was insufficient, and a forced breakthrough would not allow for the formation of a Qi Vortex!
