"Breakthrough!"

"Finally.

From the original Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation, to breakthrough to Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation."

In Zhou Changwang’s mind, a sudden realization emerged.

He realized at this moment he finally broke through and truly ascended to become a Qi Refining Seventh Level Practitioner.

He officially moved from being a Mid Stage Qi Cultivation Practitioner to the ranks of Late Stage Qi Cultivation.

Strength, realm, methods, spiritual power level, spiritual sense intensity... in every aspect, there was a tremendous enhancement.

Yet at the same time, he felt a sense of emptiness.

An instinctive yearning for power.

This was a result of his cultivation realm breakthrough, during which his original spiritual power was excessively consumed, the newly generated spiritual power was too sparse, combined with his vastly expanded dantian after the breakthrough, causing him to instinctively feel somewhat uneasy.

He dared not delay.

He quickly ignited the Heart Lamp and swiftly operated the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique.

As his spiritual sense subtly moved.

Buzz!

A large area of Spirit Stones around him were instantly crushed into powder.

Then, a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rapidly surged forth, absorbed by him in an instant, and transformed into nourishment, refined into his own spiritual power through the burning and purification of the Five Elements Glazed Heart Lamp.

This strand of spiritual power, condensed, dense, seemed to have undergone repeated compression and refinement, vaguely showing signs of liquefaction.

Its quality, its tenacity, far surpassed before.

This was a spiritual power exclusively belonging to Zhou Changwang at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.

One circulation, two circulations, three circulations...

Zhou Changwang continuously operated the Pure Yang Five Elements Technique.

Also constantly refining the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

At this moment, he was like a whale swallowing, able to absorb and consume any spirit energy.

If the spirit energy was not enough, he would leverage his spiritual sense to crush a batch of Spirit Stones for absorption.

Finally, at a certain moment.

Zhou Changwang felt a sense of fullness.

The spiritual power within him finally barely reached saturation.

But this saturation was not about refilling his dantian once more but rather thoroughly refining and transforming the original Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation spiritual power into his exclusive Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation spiritual power.

This spiritual power, pure and powerful.

He was confident that with the same magic, using his current cultivation to cast, the power would certainly have a tremendous enhancement.

Then, he turned his gaze to his attribute panel.

Name: Zhou Changwang

Lifespan: 18/120

Cultivation: Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation (1/100)

Cultivation Technique: Pure Yang Five Elements Technique (Great Success 278/800)

...

"Indeed, the cultivation realm has broken through.

Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.

Truly stepping into the Late Qi Cultivation Level.

And most importantly, my lifespan.

It has surprisingly increased from the original ’108’ to ’120’.

Really possessing a lifespan of two cycles of sixty years."

Looking at the introduction of the attribute panel, Zhou Changwang, though mentally prepared, was still very happy and excited.

To know, Zhou Changwang started with a lifespan of only seventy-five years, which might be considered long-lived among mortals in this world, but among cultivators, it could only be described as ’short-lived’.

Now, a lifespan of two cycles of sixty years.

Although not considered long-lived, it has gradually come in line with other cultivators of the same realm.

Further qualitative breakthroughs, to increase to three cycles of sixty years, a lifespan of one hundred eighty years, are almost impossible.

Only with Foundation Establishment!

Ascend to Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

Can once increase one cycle of sixty years lifespan, accomplish longevity of one hundred eighty years, most can even live to two hundred forty years, equivalent to four cycles of sixty years.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Changwang calmed his thoughts.

Then, he looked at the ground, full of Spirit Stone Powder crushed by his spiritual sense.

With a quick calculation, he immediately came to a conclusion.

"This breakthrough has consumed a full three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones?

Originally over eleven thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, now only over eight thousand are left."

Zhou Changwang sighed inwardly, yet he also understood that if given another chance, he would still make the same choice.

Certainly, there would be a lot of waste among them.

But if he had not borrowed the spiritual energy within the Spirit Stones to break through, merely relying on the spiritual energy within the Spirit Vein, he would surely have completed the breakthrough, but the time needed to stabilize his realm would have taken over five days.

Now, it only took three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones to achieve this, in his view, it was naturally worth it.

Then he walked out of his cultivation secret room.

Standing at the door of the courtyard.

With a subtle movement of his eyes.

He immediately noticed something different.

In his eyes, the heaven and earth seemed more clear.

The spiritual qi, which was originally perceived only through vagueness, now as he focused his gaze, he could immediately see the multicolored, constantly lively variably dancing spiritual qi between heaven and earth.

"Once the realm is broken through, indeed it becomes different."

Zhou Changwang marveled.

Then as if remembering something, he quickly took out two treasures from his storage bag.

One is the Water Spirit Pearl.

According to Li Pengfei, it can enhance the grade of the Spiritual Spring, greatly enhancing the spiritual energy contained within the Spirit Spring Water.

The other is the Third-Grade Spirit Vein Core.

According to Tang Yu Yan, it is part of an extraction from a Third-Grade Spirit Vein Core.

Although not a complete Third-Grade Spirit Vein Core, it equally possesses the ability to upgrade the quality of a Spirit Vein, enabling First, Second-Grade Spirit Veins to ascend.

"Little Peak Mountain Spirit Land, can be considered the root land for me.

At least in the short term, I do not plan to leave.

Enhancing the Spirit Vein Grade to create better Spirit Fields is also a very necessary undertaking."

As Zhou Changwang’s eyes subtly moved, leveraging his array path capability, he traversed through the Spirit Fields.

Step by step, he soon arrived at the topmost acre of Second-Grade High-Tier Spirit Field.

Through exploration, he has already determined here is exactly the core location of the Spirit Vein in his spirit land.

Of course, the specific location is unknown hundreds of meters beneath the Spirit Field.

But he casually dug a pit beside and buried the Third-Grade Spirit Vein Core he held into it.

Buzz~!

Almost instantly.

From the Third-Grade Spirit Vein Core, a special spiritual light dispersed.

Immediately, Zhou Changwang felt it as if it created a mysterious pulling force with the core of the Spirit Vein deep underground, quickly drawing it, continuously pulling into the depths underground.

One zhang, two zhang, three zhang...

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but dig open the spiritual soil originally covering it.

Sure enough, he found that the piece of Spirit Vein Core had already vanished.

Evidently, it was drawn by the Spirit Vein within Xiaofeng Mountain, continuously approaching fusion.

"Truly miraculous.

This Spirit Vein Core is actually an Exotic Treasure in itself, its estimated value, is immeasurable.

At least, it wouldn’t be less desirable than a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

Pavilion Master Tang willing to offer it is indeed commendable."

Zhou Changwang marveled, also remembering this favor.

Then, with a leap, he soon arrived at the humanoid Spirit Spring location.

Next, as he turned his palm over, a jade box sealing the Water Spirit Pearl appeared in his hand.

"This Spirit Spring is precisely in complementarity with my Spirit Vein.

Upgrading the Spirit Vein Grade itself will drive the grade of the Spirit Spring to equally enhance.

But if this Spirit Spring has the support of the Water Spirit Pearl, then its grade will increase even faster.

Just wondering, what will be the improvement effect of this Spirit Spring."

As he pondered, Zhou Changwang did not hesitate, directly opening the jade box, casually tossing the Water Spirit Pearl into the mouth of the Spirit Spring.

In an instant, the Water Spirit Pearl followed the spring mouth, continuously flowing deeper into the Spirit Spring.
