As the power came from within, Lin Fan just allowed it to fill him as his cultivation began breaking through to the next level.
As he broke through, there was an influx of spiritual energy around him.
It was as if he was about to drain all of the spiritual energy in the area around him as he broke through.
It was just a good thing that there was just too much here for him to suck up in the first place.
Even if the suction forces coming from him were much stronger than this, there was still too much spiritual energy for him to suck in completely.
After a while of draining spiritual energy like this, it finally showed signs of slowing down.
When it slowed down, it wasn’t a sudden decrease in suction force. It was a sudden stop in suction force as the aura around Lin Fan started to increase.
It became stronger and stronger, as if it was about to burst forward…
Until finally it did.
The moment that his aura exploded, Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes and he could feel that his cultivation had grown.
He had broken through from the Late Foundation Realm to the Peak Foundation Realm.
Now all he needed was a single opportunity and he would be able to break through to the Qi Condensation Realm.
But for now, what he needed to do was stabilize his new cultivation or he might lose control.
So after looking down at his body for a bit, Lin Fan closed his eyes to stabilize his cultivation.
But before he could do anything, he suddenly knitted his brows.
That was because there was a strange feeling inside of him…
This was a feeling that came from his dantian and it was slowly building up.
This feeling…was similar to the feeling he had when he broke through to the Peak Foundation Realm.
After a moment of silence, Lin Fan couldn’t help asking out loud, “Just what is going on here?”
He tried to calm this feeling and suppress it, but it was getting stronger and stronger.
It was as if…he was about to break through again.
But that didn’t make sense since he had just broken through.
He shouldn’t have accumulated enough power that he would be able to break through once more. So just what was this feeling that was currently filling him?
No matter what he did, this feeling kept getting stronger and stronger and he wasn’t able to suppress it at all.
Since he wasn’t able to suppress it, Lin Fan decided to see just what this feeling was.
As he let this feeling build, Lin Fan used his spiritual sense to check his dantian.
Inside of his dantian was the Clear Water Bead and the Hell Flame, but there was also something else that was there. There was this little piece of jade that seemed to have a bit of wind gathered around it that was also there.
This was the special item that he had gotten from the Gale Sect.
Since the Gale Sect was a sect that had cultivated a wind attributed cultivation technique, it made sense that they would have a wind attributed treasure.
That was what this Azure Wind Jade was.
This was something that had resonated with his body just like the Clear Water Bead and the Hell Flame Seed, so it had been pulled into his dantian just like them.
With this Azure Wind Jade, he had been granted control over the Azure Wind.
This was high concentration wind energy that was much stronger than normal wind.
At the same time, this Azure Wind had the ability to heal those that it blew over.
But the most important thing was that it could be absorbed to increase one’s cultivation just like the Clear Water.
After he had absorbed this thing, his cultivation had soared and he had been able to reach the threshold to break through.
That was how he had gone through his breakthrough just now.
But there shouldn’t have been enough energy in this Azure Wind Jade and the Clear Water Bead that it would give him a chance to break through a second time…
When he entered his dantian, Lin Fan found that everything was normal with the Azure Wind Jade, the Clear Water Bead, and the Hell Flame Seed, but there was something abnormal happening in the center of his dantian.
There was this strange energy gathering there that seemed to be growing.
It was swirling as if it was building up and it was slowly getting bigger and bigger.
At the same time, this energy was absorbing energy from the three other things in his dantian as it became bigger and bigger.
It was clear that whatever this thing was, it was growing with the power of these three things.
Lin Fan however immediately recognized what this thing was.
This thing had appeared in his dantian after that dual cultivation with Ye Qing Huan.
He didn’t know what this energy was, but it had been there in his dantian all this time without doing anything.
The only time that it had reacted was when it had helped him break through to the Late Foundation Realm after his dual cultivation session with Ye Qing Huan.
So why would it suddenly activate like this?
He had no idea what this energy was or what it was doing, but he could tell that this energy was allowing him to break through.
Since he couldn’t stop it…Lin Fan had no choice but to go through with it.
This energy continued to build inside of his dantian and he started to feel his cultivation growing.
But at the same time, he was surprised to find that his cultivation wasn’t unstable at all.
Even though he had just broken through, his cultivation was very stable as it kept going up.
Finally, the accumulation of energy in his dantian was complete and the foundation of his cultivation had been built.
It was a golden foundation that laid there in his dantian.
Upon that foundation was a swirl of energy, this was his spiritual energy being condensed.
In the Qi Condensation Realm, one’s spiritual energy would become much denser than before in preparation to gather it into a single point to form the golden core.
Of course, with much more condensed spiritual energy, one would be much stronger than before.
If it wasn’t for the foundation built, one wouldn’t be able to withstand this condensed energy.
But as this energy gathered, the swirl of energy that Ye Qing Huan gave him quickly swallowed the energy that had been condensed.
When this happened, Lin Fan didn’t feel like he had lost all of his energy like he had thought.
But rather, that energy became much stronger and this energy from Ye Qing Huan was mixing with that energy of his.
It was transforming his spiritual energy into something else…
All Lin Fan could do was anxiously wait to see what the results would be…
When it was finally over and the energy settled, Lin Fan found that his condensed energy was more than twenty times stronger than before and had a strange glow to it.
However, if he remembered clearly, the others had said that one’s spiritual energy would only be five to ten times denser in the Qi Condensation Realm depending on how strong one’s foundation was.
This spiritual energy was much stronger than that…
What was different? 𝑂𝑽𝐥xt.𝗰𝞸𝓜
Was it because of the energy from Ye Qing Huan or was it because of something else?
Lin Fan wanted to think about this, but there was no time since that spiritual energy in his dantian was becoming unstable.
If he delayed this any longer, it was very likely that this condensed spiritual energy would collapse and his breakthrough would fail.
So he had no choice but to think about this later and focus on breaking through right now.
Putting his thoughts away, Lin Fan took a deep breath before focusing on the spiritual energy gathered in his dantian.
As he let out that breath, he started using his mind to guide that spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy that had been one single mass started to spread in different directions like a mist. It slowly went out of his dantian and spread to every part of his body, completely nourishing him.
This was the second step of breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm.
The first was condensing all of his spiritual energy and the second step was releasing it.
Gathering it in his dantian alone would be too much for him, so he needed to spread it throughout his body so that he could slowly get used to this new spiritual energy.
The moment that the condensed spiritual energy spread through his body, Lin Fan could feel that his own aura was growing.
With the success of nourishing his body with this spiritual energy, Lin Fan could feel his cultivation growing.
Slowly and slowly, he broke through the wall that was in front of him and he reached the Qi Condensation Realm.
But even if he did break through, Lin Fan didn’t dare let down his guard and he slowly stabilized his cultivation.
Only when it was stabilized did he finally open his eyes and check his body.
He found that the energy that he had received from Ye Qing Huan had settled and it didn’t seem like it would do anything else to him.
But he was also grateful towards this energy since it had given him a double blessing.
After all, without it, he wouldn’t have been able to break through again to the Qi Condensation Realm.
