Chapter 139: Chapter 137 Hunyuan One Qi (First Update)

What surprised Ye Zhen was that after eating a Human-Level Lower Level Demon Pill, the little kitten was still not satisfied. It smacked its lips and stared fixedly at another Demon Pill from a Purple Horned Green Sheep that Ye Zhen had just taken out.

"I can’t give you this one anymore..."

"This one, a Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pill, can you actually consume it?" Ye Zhen took out a Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pill and shook it in front of the kitten.

The little cat happily nodded its head.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Zhen threw the Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pill to the little cat. After it swallowed the pill with one bite and smacked its lips, it slowly settled down to the side.

As it lay down, waves of spiritual power fluctuations emitted from the little cat. Ye Zhen could sense that the Cloud Winged Young Tiger must have started refining the two Demon Cores it had ingested.

"Perhaps, this little cat has found a method to grow rapidly!"

Amidst his murmuring, Ye Zhen pressed the Demon Pill of the Purple Horned Green Sheep slowly against his chest at the Danzhong acupoint, the location of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

As soon as it was attached, his Divine Sense spurred into action, and a suction force emerged from his body, directly affixing the Demon Pill to the Danzhong acupoint. His True Yuan surged out, and Ye Zhen began to directly absorb the energy within the Demon Pill!

In an instant, a majestic yet mixed energy flowed into Ye Zhen’s body through his Danzhong acupoint.

The second that chaotic energy entered his body, it caused a prickling pain in Ye Zhen’s chest like needles piercing through.

Almost at the same time, the long-dormant Mirage Dragon Pearl in his chest suddenly brightened. Driven deliberately by Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense, that powerful and chaotic energy surged directly into the first spatial stage of the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

One could see that the first spatial stage of the Mirage Dragon Pearl clearly brightened for a moment, and the mighty, chaotic energy flowed into the pearl like a hundred rivers into the sea, without stirring a single ripple inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Ye Zhen continued to circulate his One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill, and as the technique operated, a pure energy slowly emerged from the Mirage Dragon Pearl. In the midst of the technique’s circulation, that pure energy was completely transformed into Ye Zhen’s True Yuan.

"Success!"

Feeling the cultivation within him soaring rapidly, a joy that Ye Zhen could hardly hide spread across his face.

His speculation turned out to be true!

Indeed, as he had guessed, the Mirage Dragon Pearl was able to refine away the chaotic negative energies, and the energy that flowed out from it was exceedingly pure.

In other words, as long as Ye Zhen had enough silver, he could buy Demon Cores and refine them directly to enhance his cultivation without depending on the whims of alchemists any longer.

The defiance of the Mirage Dragon Pearl was truly formidable.

After fifteen minutes, Ye Zhen encountered another issue.

As he refined and guided the energy into his body, the Mirage Dragon Pearl was also "consuming" it.

Under normal circumstances, a Demon Pill’s negative energies and various impurities would, at most, make up about twenty percent, with the remaining eighty percent being the purest energy.

However, the energy the Mirage Dragon Pearl released after refining was only twenty percent of the energy of the Demon Pill that had been fed into it.

In plain terms, Ye Zhen supplied the Mirage Dragon Pearl with ten parts of the mixed Demon Pill energy, and the Mirage Dragon Pearl, after refining it, sent out only two parts of pure energy.

The other eight parts of energy were consumed by the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

The reason Ye Zhen used the word "eat" was because he discovered that as the Mirage Dragon Pearl began to help him refine the chaotic energy of the Demon Pill, the luminous spots on the wall of the pearl’s first stage were slowly but steadily increasing.

"Perhaps, this is how the Mirage Dragon Pearl uses external forces to slowly unlock the seal on its second spatial stage..."

That was Ye Zhen’s guess.

In less than half an hour, Ye Zhen had completely refined a Human-Level Lower Level Demon Pill. None of the negative energies within the Demon Pill had caused Ye Zhen the slightest harm.

The only imperfection was that eighty percent of the power contained in the Demon Pill had been taken by the Mirage Dragon Pearl, leaving only twenty percent for Ye Zhen.

But even just that twenty percent of the energy was immensely vast.

The mere twenty percent of a Human-Level Lower Level Demon Pill’s power had accelerated Ye Zhen’s cultivation significantly, equivalent to half a month of his arduous cultivation.

Ye Zhen estimated that with three or four more of these, his cultivation could break through to the mid-stage of the True Essence Fifth Realm.

Under normal circumstances, even if Ye Zhen consumed True Essence Pills daily, it would still take two months to advance his cultivation to the True Essence Fifth Realm.

Without hesitation, Ye Zhen took out another Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pill, pressed it against his chest, and began refining once again.

Just like before, eighty percent of the power from within the Demon Pill went to the Mirage Dragon Pearl while the twenty percent of the purest energy turned into pure True Yuan, increasing Ye Zhen’s cultivation.

Three hours later, the Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pill adhered to his chest turned into a puff of ash and scattered. Ye Zhen opened his eyes, and they suddenly shone brightly.

True Essence Fifth Realm Mid-stage—Breakthrough!

Glancing at the little cat in the corner of the Silent Chamber, still refining the power of the Demon Pill, Ye Zhen took out another Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pill and affixed it to the Danzhong acupoint on his chest!

And so, Ye Zhen in the Black Water Dao Grounds’ Silent Chamber continued refining one Demon Pill after another, ardently cultivating.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhen made another trip to the Spirit Martial Market, spending all the gold and silver he had on him to buy eight Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pills and fifteen Human-Level top-quality Demon Pills.

The Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pills were for the little cat.

The Human-Level top-quality Demon Pills were for Ye Zhen’s own cultivation enhancement.

Five days later, when the energy of the seventh Human-Level top-quality Demon Pill was being continuously supplied by the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen’s Dantian suddenly felt a sharp pain.

"True Essence Fifth Realm Peak?"

A thought crossed Ye Zhen’s mind, and spurring his Divine Sense, he continued to rotate the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill, channeling the refined energy into his Dantian.

Within the Dantian, the True Yuan surged turbulently, violently fluctuating, and then with one cycle of the One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill, the intense fluctuations, like waves of an ocean, were smoothly guided through particular meridians throughout his body.

Crackle crackle crackle...!

Ye Zhen’s acupoints exploded in a frenzy, sounding like a series of long-closed valves being suddenly opened, and a tremendous rush of airflow surged out in an instant.

The booming sounds of the airflow abruptly resonated throughout Ye Zhen’s entire body.

Whoosh!

A glaringly white Qi Sword suddenly spurted from Ye Zhen’s mouth!

One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill, Sixth Stage—Hunyuan One Qi!

The instant the sword burst forth, Ye Zhen’s mind stirred, and he directed it toward the Power Testing Stone in the corner of the Silent Chamber!

The glaringly white Hunyuan One Qi Sword flashed by and vanished, but the Power Testing Stone in the corner of the chamber was instantly pulverized!

Upon seeing the shattered Power Testing Stone, Ye Zhen’s own face registered shock.

The Power Testing Stone in this Silent Chamber was mass-produced by the Sect’s Grandmaster Artifact Refiner. While not a treasure, it could withstand the breakthrough of a Martial Artist in the late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm.

A Martial Artist in the late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm would not be able to destroy this Power Testing Stone without exerting full force.

In other words, the power of the Hunyuan One Qi that Ye Zhen had expelled from his mouth could be compared to the full-force strike of a Martial Artist at the latter half of the Spirit Summoning Realm.

Moreover, the Hunyuan One Qi was expelled from the mouth, which, at a critical moment, might just have a miraculous effect for securing a victory over the enemy.

"Finally, I’ve reached the True Essence Fifth Realm Peak..."

In six days, Ye Zhen had refined one Human-Level Lower Level Demon Pill, three Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pills, and seven Human-Level top-quality Demon Pills. His Cultivation finally broke through to the True Essence Fifth Realm Peak, reaching the threshold to touch the Spirit Summoning Realm.

The number of Demon Pills consumed was quite significant.

Ye Zhen had calculated that if he had used Human-Level top-quality Demon Spirit Essence Elixirs for his Cultivation, he would only need two pills to break through to the True Essence Fifth Realm Peak.

However, one Human-Level top-quality Demon Spirit Essence Elixir was worth fifteen thousand taels of Gold on the market, and two would cost a total of thirty thousand taels of Gold, and they were something money couldn’t easily buy.

Yet, the combined value of all the Demon Pills Ye Zhen had used for his Cultivation was only twenty-three thousand taels of Gold.

All in all, Ye Zhen’s method of cultivation had turned out to be profitable.

Nevertheless, even if cultivating in this manner cost more than seeking an Alchemist’s services, Ye Zhen would not resort to asking an Alchemist to make pills for him.

It was just some Silver; he had no interest in enduring the arrogance of the Alchemists.

Inside the Silent Chamber, the Cloud Winged Young Tiger, Hur Xiaomao, was still refining a Demon Pill, yet its body size and aura had clearly increased.

This was the result of Xiaomao swallowing two more Human-Level Middle Grade Demon Pills after the first day.

After silently Cultivating in the chamber for three days and completely stabilizing his Cultivation at the peak of the True Essence Fifth Realm, Ye Zhen did not leave the chamber. Instead, he continued to cultivate.

Ye Zhen planned to break through to the Soul Summoning Realm in one fell swoop!

Before leaving the Sect, Ye Zhen had consulted with Caiyi and Liao Feibai about the problems related to breaking through the Soul Summoning Realm.

The Soul Summoning Realm has always been a significant threshold for a Martial Artist.

Of a hundred thousand Martial Artists, ninety thousand would be trapped in the True Essence Realm due to low Innate Bloodline and a lack of Cultivation resources.

Of the remaining ten thousand Martial Artists in the True Essence Realm, over ninety percent would be stuck at the Soul Summoning Realm.

Moreover, the Soul Summoning Realm was different from the True Essence Realm.

Those stuck before the True Essence Realm could usually pile up their cultivation to the True Essence Realm with a massive stack of resources.

However, there was no such possibility for the Soul Summoning Realm.

Some people, despite their lifelong efforts, could never sense the omnipresent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Others, who couldn’t break through to the Soul Summoning Realm, sometimes managed to break through inexplicably after some drastic change.

On this matter, both Caiyi and Liao Feibai shared a very consistent opinion!

The crux of breaking through to the Soul Summoning Realm—lay in the strength of the Divine Soul!

Martial Artists whose Divine Souls were too weak to activate their Innate Bloodline absolutely could not break through to the Soul Summoning Realm.

Those with a strong Divine Soul found the breakthrough into the Soul Summoning Realm relatively straightforward.

However, under normal circumstances, it was hard for Martial Artists below the Soul Sea Realm to reveal the strength of their Divine Soul.

But Ye Zhen, who had been Cultivating the Spirit-Control Technique and consuming a large amount of Ning Shen Liquid, was an exception!

According to the method in the Hunyuan One Qi Skill for Soul Summoning, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved sharply and landed on the already semi-solid Sword Vein Divine Power within his body.

With the boost of Divine Sense, Ye Zhen’s First Sword Vein, one of his Innate Bloodlines, began to vibrate rhythmically.

As the First Sword Vein vibrated rhythmically, the shadows of Ye Zhen’s second Innate Bloodline slowly emerged, followed by the third, and then the fourth!

When the First Sword Vein and the shadows of the other three Innate Bloodlines fully surfaced, Ye Zhen felt as if the entire world had suddenly become filled with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, shining brightly everywhere.

The next moment, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense moved explosively.

Boom!

An enormous amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, those bright points all around, surged like a tide into Ye Zhen’s body through his four Innate Bloodlines!

At the same time, several people cultivating near Ye Zhen’s Silent Chamber were suddenly startled.

Even Elder Bao of the Black Water Dao Grounds opened his eyes in surprise due to the intense fluctuations of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi! (To be continued.
