The breakthrough to Astral Rank is more difficult than the breakthrough from Planetary Level Stage 1 to Stage 9, and requires a much larger amount of energy.
The energy within the entire world ring is 5 times that of before, and hundreds of times higher than the cosmic energy on Earth.
In the center of the world ring, Qin Hao sat cross-legged on the ground, his entire body's pores wide open, each acupoint transforming into a giant vortex, rapidly devouring the surrounding energy.
The current cultivation method was created by Qin Hao based on the previous Five Hearts Towards Heaven, Origin Star cultivation method, and the acupoint cultivation described in the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram.
It allows all the acupoints and pores in the body to absorb cosmic energy, and even when not actively cultivating, energy can be absorbed automatically, though at a slower rate.
It was precisely because of the existence of this cultivation method that Qin Hao had the confidence to grow rapidly even without the aid of a nutrient cabin.
As energy continuously poured into his Dantian World, the nine planets began to rapidly expand, growing larger and larger, and continuously moving closer to the center of the Dantian World.
After 9 days, the nine planets within Qin Hao's body had grown to their extreme, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.
“It’s time for the breakthrough.”
With a thought from Qin Hao, the surrounding cosmic energy formed a storm, rapidly merging into Qin Hao’s body, flowing through his meridians, and integrating into his Dantian World.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.”
A continuous series of shattering sounds rang out as the nine stars shattered one after another.
After shattering, the nine stars transformed into tiny fragments, filling the entire Dantian.
“Condense.”
At the center of the Dantian, a huge suction force was generated, gradually forming a massive vortex that began to continuously devour the surrounding fragments.
As the fragments converged, they were constantly stirred within the vortex, becoming more refined under the pull of the force.
At the very core, a crimson star gradually formed, with crimson flames burning on its surface.
These flames were not actual flames, but a phenomenon formed when cosmic energy became extremely active.
With the formation of the crimson star, the surrounding fragments converged even more rapidly.
A massive suction force covered the entire Dantian World, and the energy within the Dantian was rapidly devoured by the star.
The star began to rapidly expand and contract.
With each expansion and contraction, the energy became more refined, and the star became more solid.
At the same time, Qin Hao's absorption of cosmic energy also became much faster, and soon the energy within a hundred meters around him was instantly devoured.
After the energy was devoured, the surrounding energy quickly refilled, but it still could not keep up with Qin Hao's absorption rate.
“This is truly incredible; the breakthrough to Astral Rank actually presents such a phenomenon,” Gu exclaimed with emotion as he watched the changes around Qin Hao.
As the star within Qin Hao's body continuously devoured energy, it gradually stabilized.
Watching the star gradually form within his body, Qin Hao's Fire Domain was involuntarily released, and the Fire Law became clearer as well.
The Fire Law, which had previously been at the threshold, now entered the introductory stage.
With the Fire Law entering the introductory stage, Qin Hao's body seemed to be enveloped in a flame, continuously burning the surrounding cosmic energy and making it more vibrant.
However, it quickly retracted back into his body, completely merging into the star within him.
“Finally, a breakthrough! I can check in once.
I wonder what surprise this time will bring?” Qin Hao was full of anticipation for the new check-in.
The rewards for checking in after a realm breakthrough always exceeded Qin Hao's expectations; the check-ins at the Martial Artist and Planetary Level stages had brought significant transformations to Qin Hao.
He pressed the illuminated check-in button on the simple panel.
“Check-in.”
Cultivation Check-in: Astral Rank, Reward: Nuwa Diagram Contemplation Method.
“Nuwa Diagram Contemplation Method, it’s actually the Nuwa Diagram Contemplation Method!” Qin Hao’s heart was filled with joy.
The Nuwa Visualization Chart was Ji Ling's golden finger in Desolate Era, a top-tier Visualization Method in the Celestial Realm.
Nuwa, in the legends of any world, is a peak existence in the pyramid.
She is the controller of grand dao of life, creation, and more, with endless myths and legends.
A Visualization Method from such an existence will be an important secret method for Qin Hao's future growth.
Whether it is for training the soul or evolving more divine abilities and secret methods from the Visualization Method.
As the check-in completed, a stream of light merged into Qin Hao's Sea of Consciousness.
After the stream of light entered his Sea of Consciousness, it did not quietly wait for Qin Hao to activate it like previous check-in rewards.
This stream of light, upon entering his Sea of Consciousness, began to rapidly change.
The light transformed into threads, and these threads began to continuously intersect and weave together within his Sea of Consciousness.
Soon, a huge scroll appeared in the center of Qin Hao's Sea of Consciousness.
In the center of the scroll, a goddess with a human body and snake tail, though only a visualization chart, the image was lifelike, as if truly existing.
Various divine auras surrounded her, filled with sacredness, majesty, life, creation, and endless profound meanings.
After the scroll was completely woven, dazzling light shot out from the visualization chart.
Nuwa on the scroll seemed to be stepping out of the image, her closed eyes opening as if observing everything around her.
However, the unusual phenomenon on the scroll quickly began to recede.
A ray of light filled with life and creation shot out from the portrait's little finger, merging into Qin Hao's Sea of Consciousness.
The energy filled with life and creation merged into Qin Hao's soul and body.
His body and soul, which had undergone transformation after the Astral Rank breakthrough, began to transform again.
In his Sea of Consciousness, Qin Hao's soul felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, continuously becoming stronger and even gradually solidifying.
His mind also became unprecedentedly clear, and the Five Elements Laws, which were already clear, became even more distinct.
And beyond the Five Elements Laws, new fluctuations appeared: Wind Law, Thunder Law, Law of Light, and even more obscure Time Law and Space Law, also gradually presented themselves before Qin Hao.
And they were becoming clearer at a very rapid pace.
While his soul was transforming, Qin Hao's body was also undergoing a metamorphosis.
His entire body's bones, blood, meridians, acupoints, muscles, skin, and bone marrow were continuously transforming and reorganizing.
Every cell and gene was undergoing a metamorphosis.
The traces of his previous cultivation on his body were continuously being washed away during the transformation, and his entire being seemed to be undergoing a complete rebirth and reconstruction.
Even the genetic enhancements brought by Kong Xuan's blood and the genetic enhancements from the first level of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram had no resistance under this power, being controlled by it and continuously integrating into Qin Hao's body, promoting the changes in Qin Hao's body.
While Qin Hao's body was changing, Earth was also undergoing tremendous changes.
Deep in the ocean, a giant egg shattered, and a monster broke out of its shell.
