Chapter 243: Mid Stage Cloud Condensation Realm

Jiang Xincheng wasn’t worried about breaking through the bottleneck of the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm. With the Yangshan Pill in hand and the Spiral Rotation technique within him, it would be laughable if he couldn’t break through this bottleneck.

Swallowing one Yangshan Pill, he felt its gentle medicinal power slowly trickling through his body. Jiang Xincheng immediately activated Spiral Rotation, gathering this mild medicinal force strand by strand into small spiral shapes. These spirals then converged near his Dantian, forming a larger spiral.

He didn’t try to directly convert Devouring Origin Force into Spiral Rotation. The Devouring Origin Force was far too fierce and unstable, making it incredibly difficult to shape it into the Spiral Rotation. In contrast, the gentle Primordial Force from Spiral Rotation could easily transform into Devouring Origin Force, becoming part of the Primordial Force within his body.

Jiang Xincheng planned to first nurture his Spiral Rotation to a certain level using the Yangshan Pill’s power. Only then would he start absorbing the Devouring Origin Force to strengthen the Spiral Rotation further. This way, converting the Devouring Origin Force would be much faster; it was harder trying to shape a large, unruly force compared to easily absorbing smaller amounts with a larger, established spiral force.

Although it still wasn’t as fast as converting Spiral Rotation directly into Devouring Origin Force, it was significantly easier. That was precisely why he decided to cultivate Spiral Rotation only after successfully crafting the Yangshan Pill, to use it for breaking through this bottleneck.

Without the aid of the gentle medicinal power of the Yangshan Pill, trying to convert Devouring Origin Force into Spiral Rotation would consume enormous time and energy, with a slim chance of success. It would be far more practical to attempt a breakthrough using the raw Devouring Origin Force directly.

With the Yangshan Pill’s help, breaking through the bottleneck of the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm became at least ten times easier for Jiang Xincheng.

Feeling the ever-expanding spiral within his Dantian, a faint smile appeared on Jiang Xincheng’s face. He continued absorbing the gentle medicinal power of the Yangshan Pill, strengthening the Spiral Rotation, and began drawing in small streams of Devouring Origin Force flowing through his Meridians.

Once the Spiral Rotation energy core in his Dantian grew large enough, he planned to use it to directly swallow the vast amount of Devouring Origin Force inside his Dantian, gathering it all into an unstoppable spiral drill to pierce through the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm bottleneck.

Time flowed steadily. Inside Jiang Xincheng’s Dantian, the Spiral Rotation grew increasingly massive while the medicinal power of the Yangshan Pill gradually diminished. At a certain moment, sensing the Spiral Rotation had reached the necessary threshold, Jiang Xincheng guided it to envelope the immense quantity of Devouring Origin Force residing within his Dantian.

BOOM…

Following a muffled roar, the Spiral Rotation successfully swallowed the Devouring Origin Force within his Dantian, forming an enormous spiral that pulsed with power, ready to assault the bottleneck of the Early Stage Cloud Condensation Realm.

Jiang Xincheng continued gathering strength, letting the Spiral Rotation build to its peak intensity. Only then did he finally command it to slowly drill towards the bottleneck.

Shiiii… Shiiii… Shiiii…

Amidst the sharp, grating sound, the bottleneck leading to the Mid Stage Cloud Condensation Realm began to tremble. Soon, a white mark appeared on its surface. Compared to the bottleneck between the Bone Training Realm and the Cloud Condensation Realm, this Mid Stage bottleneck was nothing noteworthy.

While the Mid Stage bottleneck was significantly stronger than the Early Stage bottleneck, the Primordial Force within Jiang Xincheng’s body was now over ten times greater than it had been when he had just broken into the Bone Training Realm. Therefore, drilling through this Mid Stage bottleneck was considerably easier.

Within a mere half hour, a thin crack manifested on the Mid Stage Cloud Condensation Realm bottleneck. Jiang Xincheng smiled faintly and continued the drilling assault…

Finally, with a sound like shattering glass, the Mid Stage Cloud Condensation Realm bottleneck exploded downwards. Torrential Primordial Force surged into the much vaster Dantian space that was now revealed.

His cloud of Primordial Force began expanding at a frantic pace. Jiang Xincheng quickly swallowed another Yangshan Pill to speed up the expansion. Simultaneously, under the intense pressure from his massively expanded Dantian, the Primordial Force Cloud started contracting and condensing. In just minutes, its purity increased dramatically.

Jiang Xincheng clenched his eyes shut, operating the “Devouring the Cosmos” technique’s fourth layer at full capacity. He transformed the gentle Primordial Force housed within his Spiral Rotation into Devouring Origin Force at an insane speed. This rapid conversion fueled the expansion of his Primordial Force Cloud and propelled his overall power upwards.

Across the natural world, as Jiang Xincheng broke through, a massive influx of Heaven and Earth Yuan Power surged into his body. The speed was astonishing, nearly on par with the power provided by the Yangshan Pill itself. This demonstrated just how incredibly fast the Dantian and Meridians absorb ambient Primordial Force during a breakthrough.

Several hours later, Jiang Xincheng had not only successfully broken through to the Mid Stage Cloud Condensation Realm but had also entirely stabilized his cultivation at this stage thanks to the medicinal power of the Yangshan Pill.

Within his Dantian, a large cloud of Primordial Force drifted gently. A soft, clear glow emanated from within the cloud, signifying that the Primordial Force had reached a remarkable level of purity.

The sky clear, the clouds expanded, sparkling light shimmered!

This was the mark of a Great Yuan Warrior who had achieved the solid Mid Stage Cloud Condensation Realm.

By stepping firmly into the Mid Stage Cloud Condensation Realm and stabilizing his foundation, the Primordial Force within Jiang Xincheng was now nearly twice as rich, and its purity had nearly doubled as well. His overall combat power had increased by at least a factor of two.

Furthermore, the breakthrough in Primordial Force inevitably influenced the Spiritual Sense within his Spirit Sense Sea. The richer, purer Primordial Force nourished an even more potent Spiritual Sense Power. Thus, Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense had also grown substantially during this process, laying an even better foundation for its future growth.

The advancement in Primordial Force meant an improvement in his entire being. Not only was his Spiritual Sense enhanced, but his physical body also grew significantly stronger.

Taking everything together, Jiang Xincheng’s comprehensive strength had more than doubled.

With such a substantial increase in power, the plan he had in mind seemed much more achievable now. A flickering smile played on Jiang Xincheng’s lips, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Countless pieces of information whirled through his mind, finally settling on some records concerning Nanyue Province.

In the 6th month of the 6th Year of the New Era, a strange event occurred in the Shenxia Alliance’s Nanyue Province – one could call it an astonishing, heaven-sent opportunity.

A series of earthquakes had struck. Xiangshan Mountain in Nanyue was shattered almost in half by the quakes, cracking open numerous fissures on its slopes. Over subsequent months of aftershocks, these cracks deepened, eventually piercing deep into Xiangshan’s heart. This breached a sealed space that had lain hidden within the mountain for over ten thousand years.

Within this sealed space grew ten unique, ancient willow trees. Having endured for millennia, they had adapted to Xiangshan’s internal environment. Tragically, once the cracks opened the sealed space, exposure caused all ten ancient willows to rapidly disintegrate into dust.

Unexpectedly, the dust from these ten strange willows released an immense, uncontrolled surge of Spiritual Sense Power. It was pure, directly absorbable energy! This formed a Spiritual Sense Storm centered on Xiangshan, an event that shocked the entire world.

Afterward, thousands upon thousands of Practitioners traveled vast distances to reach Xiangshan. They absorbed tremendous amounts of this Spiritual Sense Power, causing their own Spiritual Sense capacities to skyrocket overnight, saving them untold years of future cultivation effort.

Storm of the Ten Willows!

This was the greatest opportunity event recorded on Earth during the New Era’s sixth year and marked the very first large-scale opportunity event of the era, leaving an exceptionally profound impact. It propelled the rise of numerous powerful figures who later became renowned across the lands.

Jiang Xincheng’s goal was nothing less than to monopolize this upcoming, destined opportunity.
