Chapter Eighty-Seven: Impact of Qi Wu Boundary Eighth Layer
Qin Yong began to recover his innate sword energy, circulating the innate sword energy technique. As he recovered, Qin Yong's originally somewhat pale complexion also improved a lot.
The recovery of the innate sword energy was like the true energy, in the dantian the true energy transformed into sword energy, after stabilizing the innate, there would be no great difficulty. Soon, the consumed innate sword energy recovered completely, Qin Yong carefully observed it and found that it was indeed more abundant than before, this was the benefit of consuming and then cultivating to recover.
Qin Yong took a deep breath, the recovery of his innate sword energy was just the beginning, what followed was the key point. Within two days, Qin Yong must break through to the eighth level of the Qi Wu Realm, this was an impossible task for an ordinary genius who had only recently broken through to the seventh level of the Qi Wu Realm, but Qin Yong had such confidence.
Qin Yong was originally only on the average line of ordinary martial artists, with a huge gap from ordinary geniuses. However, the halo of Da Jiao Luo made Qin Yong have three times the speed, entering the ranks of ordinary geniuses. At this time, the Qi Ling Dan doubled his cultivation speed, and Qin Yong reached six times the cultivation speed. He also brought back the roasted meat of the Sharp-toothed Wild Boar.
After a few days, the taste was extremely poor, but the improvement in his Qi and blood was a direct boost to his cultivation speed. With the Seventh Layer of the Qi Martial Realm and having eaten third-grade Xuan beast meat, the improvement in his Qi and blood was not just a little bit. At this time, Qin Yong's cultivation speed increased by another two times.
Apart from this, Qin Yong also gritted his teeth and activated the Insight LV1 tattoo, a talent that consumed 10 points of luck every hour. Originally, Qin Yong had only planned to use it when practicing martial skills or comprehending other things, such as taking Sword Intent Grass to comprehend sword intent. Now, however, Qin Yong realized that insight could also increase cultivation speed. For example, now, when Qin Yong cultivated, there were many places where he could make better choices and achieve twice the effect with half the effort. Normally, it wasn't noticeable, but after activating the Insight LV1 tattoo, he could see them. No wonder strong insight could also boost cultivation speed. Although this didn't directly show up in Qin Yong's visible cultivation speed, it shortened the originally required time. In the same amount of time, it indeed played a role in boosting his cultivation speed.
It can be said that Qin Yong's current cultivation speed, looking at it, is only eight times, but under the circumstance of doubled comprehension, it can also be considered as adding another fold. In other words, Qin Yong's current cultivation speed is actually equivalent to nine times, and with just one more fold, he would be able to enter the ranks of top-notch yellow-grade geniuses, at which point he wouldn't be inferior to Duan Tianping in any way. As for comparing him to other outer sect disciples, only those three top-notch yellow-grade geniuses are superior, while Qin Yong's current cultivation speed has an overwhelming advantage over all others.
Qin Yong's mind quickly turned, and he didn't waste time on idle thoughts. He soon entered the state of cultivation. The Xiantian Sword Qi Technique tempered the three major meridians and sixty-five acupoints. For Qin Yong, after the first cultivation, he was already familiar with these three major meridians and sixty-five acupoints.
Cultivation knows no age, and this statement is not wrong at all. When Qin Yong opened his eyes again, it was already evening. At this time, Qin Yong had reached the extreme of the seventh layer of Qi Wu Realm, only half a step away from the eighth layer of Qi Wu Realm, which was a critical point state. Even so, Qin Yong still felt that his heart and spirit were somewhat fatigued, and it was not good to make a breakthrough immediately, so he withdrew from cultivation.
In addition, Qin Yong also watered the Tricolor Spirit Orchid again. The Tricolor Spirit Orchid is now in good condition. After taking care of it for a while and resting, he resumed his cultivation. Although he was taking care of the Tricolor Spirit Orchid, his mind actually relaxed, and his spirit recovered as well. At this time, after fully recovering to his best state, Qin Yong officially began to impact the eighth level of the Qi Wu Realm.
The eightfold boundary of the Qi Wu realm is actually just an expansion of the dantian, allowing it to hold more true qi. It's only when breaking through the Xuan Wu realm that a qualitative change begins, but this doesn't mean that breaking through the eightfold boundary of the Qi Wu realm isn't difficult - in fact, each expansion of the dantian is extremely arduous.
It was only when he reached the seventh level of the Qi Wu Realm that he began to break through to the later stages, and the difficulty of breaking through was even more difficult than before. This is also why many Qi Wu Realm cultivators can't even reach the ninth level of the Qi Wu Realm, let alone Qin Tianhu, who has so many resources at his disposal, but is only at the eighth level now.
At this time, Qin Yong's Qi Wu Realm had reached the eighth level. The Pre-Heaven Sword Qi circulated and finally returned to the Dan Tian, starting to expand a larger area within it. In principle, after breaking through the eighth level of the Qi Wu Realm, one could reach twice their original strength. However, this was not absolute, as some geniuses could reach even higher levels, surpassing even the average ninth-level Qi Wu Realm practitioner.
This doesn't mean that he has reached the 9th level of Qi Wu Realm, but rather his strength is about the same, but his cultivation is still at the 8th level of Qi Wu Realm. The expansion of the Qi Wu Realm to nine times the dan Tian is actually just a foundation for the future. Qin Yong didn't stand out at all before reaching the 4th level of Qi Wu Realm because everyone who had cultivated up to that point were all previously tragic goods.
Later, Qin Yong broke through repeatedly and reached the current Qi Wu Realm Seventh Layer. The three expansions of his Dantian were all stronger than normal, which is why he could reach such a level of combat power. Otherwise, Qin Yong wouldn't have been able to possess the strength of the Qi Wu Realm Ninth Layer with just his Seventh Layer cultivation. Among these factors, fighting consciousness and reaction played a part, but the expansion of his Dantian was also a reason.
Qin Yong sat on the ground, his forehead covered in sweat, his eyebrows furrowed, and he gritted his teeth as he charged forward. Expanding his dantian was an extremely difficult task, and every time he charged, his body would tremble slightly. Qin Yong had to endure the backlash that came with each charge, a kind of unbearable pain that was hard to put into words.
It was as if there was a barrier that blocked Qin Yong's expansion of his dantian. At this moment, what Qin Yong had to do was to use his innate sword energy to break through this barrier and gain more space. Qin Yong gritted his teeth and launched attack after attack, each breakthrough coming from countless failures, searching for an opportunity, as long as he found this chance, grasping it tightly, he could make a breakthrough.
Qin Yong was searching for this thread of opportunity in each impact, his spirit exhausted and his body feeling tired from the repeated shocks, his physical strength rapidly depleting. It seemed that if he relaxed even a little, he would collapse to the ground and fall into a deep sleep. Qin Yong relied on his willpower to hold on, time slowly passing by, the night flying by in haste.
At this time, Qin Yong's clothes were all soaked with sweat, and he had a feeling of fainting, swaying lightly. His face was pale, but Qin Yong still persisted without giving up, only half a step away from breaking through. Every time he failed to break through, Qin Yong accumulated some experience, and now the breakthrough was not far away. Although he could continue to charge next time, Qin Yong did not want to give up now.
