54: Breakthrough to the Spirit Vortex Realm!

The night was deep and quiet.

Outside Xiao Huang Village, a cold and hoarse voice faintly sounded, exceptionally chilling.

"Is this the place?"

"It can heavily injure even a Rank Two Peak existence? Does this place really hold a great treasure?"

As the voice sounded, a black-robed figure slowly appeared and walked forward.

"Dong!"

A bell chime suddenly rang out, and the black-robed figure paused, retreating in shock and uncertainty.

"The evil suppressing bell?"

"A Low-grade Spirit Treasure-tier evil suppressing bell? How can something like this be here?"

The black-robed figure's voice was filled with uncertainty, faintly drifting out, yet it made the surroundings grow several degrees colder.

"Hmph, if this King weren't currently injured, why would I need to be so cautious?"

The black-robed figure's cold voice continued to sound, and then he turned and stepped into the darkness.

"You dare to kill this King's people? I will make you understand the consequences!"

The voice faintly faded, and the cold aura followed suit, slowly disappearing.

Simultaneously.

Inside Xiao Huang Village, countless people heard the bell chime, waking up from their dreams with fear showing in their eyes.

Night had fallen, and no one dared to leave their homes!

Zhang Xiangwen stood up. "You and Yaner stay at home, I'll go take a look!"

"Alright!"

Xu Jing nodded.

Zhang Xiangwen walked out the door. Although he was still cautious, he wasn't overly panicked.

As the saying goes: Demons run rampant during the day, and ghosts emerge at night!

But Zhang Xiangwen understood that the sounding of the village protecting bell did not necessarily mean that a ghost had entered the village.

If a ghost had entered the village and hadn't been scared away by the village protecting bell, then even if he stepped forward, it would be a futile sacrifice.

If not, then the probability was high that some entity had mistakenly wandered in and had already been scared away.

Thinking of this, he naturally gained a bit more composure and began checking the village.

Zhao Jun shared the same idea as him!

Inside the primal origin space.

Chu Yuan did not know what was happening in the outside world; he was currently closing his eyes to Cultivate.

His spiritual energy had already reached the limit of his current Realm.

Now, he could Breakthrough at any time.

Just now, he had already mastered the Cultivation method for the Spirit Vortex Realm through the primal divine crystal.

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and began operating the Spirit Vortex Realm Cultivation Technique, mobilizing the spiritual energy within his body.

In an instant, the spiritual energy inside his Dantian began to rotate slowly, and then the speed became faster and faster.

The originally calm Dantian gradually formed a tiny vortex.

As the vortex circulated, spiritual energy was continuously drawn into it, compressed, condensed, and filled.

At the same time, the spiritual energy inside Chu Yuan's body surged like a rushing river, continuously converging into the Dantian from the Meridians throughout his body.

The moment that spiritual energy entered the Dantian, it was agitated and joined the rotating formation.

Time passed minute by minute.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Chu Yuan's forehead. He felt as if his Dantian was about to be torn apart, and intense pain continuously assaulted him.

"Damn it, is it this painful?"

Chu Yuan cursed softly. He felt that the operation of his Cultivation Technique was becoming slightly unstable due to the pain.

But he could only wholeheartedly operate the Cultivation Technique, not daring to relax even slightly, fearing that all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Just then, as he looked up, he suddenly glimpsed the primal divine crystal, and his eyes lit up.

"Strengthen Willpower!"

As Chu Yuan's voice fell, waves of coolness swept over his head.

As the coolness swept over him, he felt the pain continuously decreasing.

Or rather, it wasn't that the pain decreased, but that his willpower was increasing, making the effect of the pain weaken for him.

Half a minute later, the cooling sensation suddenly disappeared, and Chu Yuan received a message:

"[Insufficient energy, unable to strengthen!]"

Despite this, Chu Yuan felt that the pain was almost negligible.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan continued to operate the Cultivation Technique, guiding the spiritual energy into the vortex with all his might.

Who knows how much time passed.

The spiritual energy within Chu Yuan's body was finally completely exhausted, and the spiritual energy vortex inside his Dantian violently shook.

Immediately after, mysterious runes appeared out of thin air in the Dantian, falling into the vortex one after another.

As those runes fell into the vortex, an extremely profound aura emanated from the vortex, and Chu Yuan's aura also began to climb.

Not only that, but countless streams of pure spiritual energy rushed out of the Dantian from within the spiritual energy vortex, like a flood bursting through a dike.

This spiritual energy rapidly surged along the Meridians, and wherever it passed, the spiritual energy flowed through the Meridians and into Chu Yuan's body.

That spiritual energy continuously washed and refined Chu Yuan's flesh, internal organs, bones, and other bodily tissues, constantly strengthening his physique.

After a moment, the spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and Chu Yuan's aura stopped rising accordingly.

Spirit Vortex Realm Early Stage!

Breakthrough!

Chu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing across them, and a smile appeared on his face.

After the Breakthrough to the Spirit Vortex Realm, the spiritual vortex in the Dantian was stabilized and rotated every moment.

Just like a heart, it could not only store twice the spiritual energy but also mobilize the spiritual energy within the body to flow along the Meridians throughout the body.

During the rotation process, it would also slowly draw in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the body, slowly converting it into his own spiritual energy.

Although this conversion was less than one or two percent of operating the Cultivation Technique, it was better than nothing.

Furthermore, even if the spiritual energy within the spiritual vortex was exhausted, the vortex would not dissipate.

Afterward, he only needed to continue converting spiritual energy to fill the spiritual vortex, Dantian, and Meridians.

When the three could no longer hold spiritual energy, he could Breakthrough again.

At that time, using the Cultivation Technique to guide the spiritual energy, the spiritual vortex would spin rapidly again, undergoing transformation with the help of the spiritual energy within the body.

After the transformation, he would Breakthrough to the Spirit Vortex Realm Middle Stage, the spiritual vortex in the Dantian would become more condensed, and the stored spiritual energy would double.

Following that would be the second transformation to Breakthrough to the Late Stage, the third transformation to Breakthrough to the Peak, and the fourth transformation to Breakthrough to Perfection.

Chu Yuan stood up. With a slight thought, the special attribute screen reappeared.

"... 'Spiritual energy is indeed completely exhausted?'"

Chu Yuan muttered, but he wasn't surprised.

Without hesitation, he immediately looked toward the primal divine crystal.

Although he had been prompted that the energy was insufficient when strengthening Willpower, he didn't believe that strengthening Physique and Spiritual Energy Intensity would also fail.

Sure enough!

Perhaps strengthening Luck and Willpower required too much source primordial power, leading to insufficient energy.

However, strengthening Physique, Spiritual Energy Intensity, and Soul Intensity did not result in this situation.

Perhaps later, as his strength increased, strengthening would require more and more source primordial power.

But for now, that was clearly not the case!

Before long.

Chu Yuan's Physique, Spiritual Energy Intensity, and Soul Intensity reached the limit of his current Realm.

Seeing this, Chu Yuan did not linger. With a slight movement of his body, he left the primal origin space.
