Fang Yuan discovered that after possessing the Spiritual Origin, his comprehension and use of Momentum and Concepts had become much easier.

With just a flash of inspiration in his mind, the Fire Momentum that had been on the verge of manifesting was successfully comprehended!

As soon as the Fire Momentum appeared, it continued to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a short moment, he had raised his Fire Momentum to the thirty percent level, a remarkable improvement.

This was partly due to the guidance of the Fire Concept and partly due to the help of the Spiritual Origin.

The Spiritual Origin was like a comprehension accelerator, making his understanding of the Dao much easier.

After the Fire Momentum improved, his two talents, [Fire Breath] and [Fire Tread], also Advanced to the Early Stage of the second rank.

"The Spiritual Origin is simply too high-grade. It seems to be only Medium Grade, but in reality, its true grade has already surpassed everything I've ever encountered!"

Fang Yuan was filled with wonder.

He found it inconceivable that the Decompose talent could actually decompose something like a Spiritual Origin. Wasn't this a bit too Heaven-Defying?

But with the facts laid out before him, he could only happily accept this reality.

Fang Yuan continued to decompose the [spirit essence], or rather, True essence.

Under Decompose, the True essence turned into ownerless spiritual energy. Nearly half of it evaporated as Impurities were filtered out.

Fang Yuan opened his mouth and inhaled, absorbing a massive amount of ownerless spiritual energy into his body.

His vast Dantian easily accommodated this spiritual energy, but to Fang Yuan's combined amusement and frustration, the Spiritual Origin was also competing for it.

By the time Fang Yuan had filled his eighth-level Qi Refining spiritual energy, the Spiritual Origin had swallowed all the excess.

However, after swallowing it, the Spiritual Origin stopped competing for the spiritual energy within the Dantian. Fang Yuan breathed a huge sigh of relief; he had truly feared his cultivation would be trapped at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

"Time for a Breakthrough!"

Fang Yuan did not hesitate and chose to achieve his Breakthrough right on the spot.

Inside the grand array, there was no need to worry about safety.

The Dantian barrier was pushed open by Fang Yuan once again. This time, it would be the final time he expanded the Dantian barrier.

In the future, upon reaching Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, it would be a matter of condensing True essence and Mana. The size of the Dantian would be difficult to increase further. The Dantian barrier would become increasingly resilient; if it were to rupture then, it would mean the total loss of one's cultivation.

Therefore, Fang Yuan seized this opportunity to expand his Dantian with all his might.

And at that moment, the Spiritual Origin moved!

The Spiritual Origin released a rhythm of the Great Dao. The Momentum of Water, Fire, and Cloud, along with the power of the Water and Fire Concepts, all seemed to be mobilized, surging against the barrier to expand it to an even greater range!

Crack, crack, crack!

In that instant, the barrier seemed to be shattered into powder. The Dantian's size expanded to the extreme. After the initial twofold expansion, it forcibly expanded by another 15 times!

The size of his Dantian was now a staggering 800 * 15 (which is 12,000) times that of others in the same Realm.

Under the influence of some mighty power, the Dantian was reshaped. The Dantian barrier became resilient to the extreme. Fang Yuan also felt a portion of the Spiritual Origin's power merging into the Dantian barrier, completing a deeper level of Fusion with the entire Dantian.

He had a moment of realization: this was the assistance of the Heavenly Dao's mighty power! The Heavenly Dao was helping him fuse with a wondrous object like the Spiritual Origin!

Without the help of the Heavenly Dao, he would have been completely unable to thoroughly fuse with the Spiritual Origin.

And now, the Spiritual Origin had completely become his life-bound item!

This was a stroke of fortune, a monumental stroke of fortune!

He had fully utilized the final opportunity to reshape his Dantian!

It was the convergence of timing and destiny!

"Could this be the feedback from Luck?"

Fang Yuan looked up above his head and saw that his primary Luck had, at some point, transformed into eleven wisps of yellow Luck!

This was third-rank Luck!

At the same time, his Racial Luck had also transformed from a thread into a wisp at some unknown point!

The Luck bestowed by his Sect had increased from one wisp to a hundred wisps!

Fang Yuan was slightly stunned. He hadn't been monitoring the changes in his Luck constantly, so he truly didn't know when these shifts had occurred.

Both his Racial Luck and Sect Luck had become more favorable toward him. Favored by Luck, his safety was undoubtedly more guaranteed.

He let out a soft breath and began the final process of Absorbing Qi and Returning to the Source.

The reshaped Dantian generated a massive suction force, absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

Fang Yuan was extremely decisive, taking out a hundred thousand Spirit Stones to perform a total Decompose.

A massive amount of pure Spiritual Qi was released and then frantically absorbed by the Dantian.

The Dantian was like a bottomless pit, hungrily absorbing this Spiritual Qi and converting it into spiritual energy.

Especially with the addition of the Spiritual Origin, this fellow was also competing for the Spiritual Qi being absorbed into the body.

He suddenly felt that the Spiritual Qi from decomposing a hundred thousand Spirit Stones was simply not enough.

In one go, he decomposed the Spiritual Qi of another million Spirit Stones.

As the massive amount of Spiritual Qi poured into his body, he didn't feel like he would explode; instead, he had an illusory sensation of hunger.

After a good while, the process of Absorbing Qi and Returning to the Source ended.

The spiritual energy in his Dantian was now fifty percent full, equivalent to the spiritual energy capacity of 6,000 Peak Qi Refining Cultivators. More importantly, the quality of his spiritual energy far exceeded those in the same Realm, meaning his actual total spiritual energy was even greater.

The Spiritual Origin had also become more lustrous.

"Decompose! Decompose! This talent is simply too Heaven-Defying!"

Fang Yuan once again realized the power of his Golden Finger, Decompose. It was an irrational level of power!

He exhaled softly and looked at the [essence] floating beside him.

He proceeded with the Decompose quite readily.

After the essence was decomposed, it turned into a large amount of ownerless blood-qi.

Fang Yuan immediately absorbed it into his body.

The massive amount of blood-qi surged directly into his Dantian.

Soon, the middle dantian was completely filled with blood-qi.

"blood-qi, scour the Physical Body!"

With a thought from Fang Yuan, the massive amount of blood-qi surged into every part of his Physical Body, beginning to scour and refine it!

The Cloud Body Art was pushed to its limit.

The cloud patterns in every inch of his flesh and bone were like countless whirlpools, devouring that blood-qi with all their might!

Under Fang Yuan's delighted gaze, the eighth cloud pattern became completely solid, and the ninth cloud pattern also gradually solidified and became complete under the scouring of the massive blood-qi!

This was a carnival for his Body Refining cultivation.

The demonic Cultivator's Body Refining cultivation was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. After Decompose and purification, the quantity had decreased significantly, but it still far exceeded his own Body Refining cultivation.

With the supply of massive blood-qi, Fang Yuan's Body Refining cultivation reached the Peak of Body Refining in one go!

The ninth cloud pattern was now entirely complete.

However, the blood-qi obtained from Decompose was also exhausted.

The demonic Cultivator's blood-qi had too many Impurities; after being decomposed and then refined by the Cloud Body Art, it wasn't enough for Fang Yuan to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage of Body Refining.

But it had already saved Fang Yuan decades of bitter cultivation.

This was the gift of a Foundation Establishment demonic Cultivator, and it was truly generous.

Fang Yuan then looked at the demonic Cultivator's Soul and performed another Decompose.

[ownerless soul power] + [Thick Earth Demonic Technique] + [Spell Insights] + [Momentum Insights]

ownerless soul power at the level of the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment was released and completely absorbed by Fang Yuan. The Soul body within him had become incredibly solid. Within his Spiritual Sense, a hundred wisps had already transformed into Divine Sense, while the rest of his Spiritual Sense was also gradually converting.

At the same time, he also obtained a Foundation Establishment level Cultivation Technique from the demonic Cultivator, as well as insights into dozens of Earth-element Spells. Most importantly, he actually obtained a cluster of insights into Earth Momentum!

After Fang Yuan absorbed it, he successfully comprehended Earth Momentum, and upon absorption, his Earth Momentum reached the ten percent level of comprehension.
