Xunuo finally felt a sense of relief as he began to circulate the Huayang Classic. In just the time it took to brew a cup of tea, True Qi flowed throughout his body. Instantly, he felt lighter, as if all the fatigue and pain had been swept away.
In its place came a refreshing sensation, as if his flesh and bones had been nourished, revitalizing his Vitality.
Over the past year of cultivation, Xunuo realized that every time True Qi circulated through his body, it served as a refinement for his flesh and bones. This made his body exceptionally strong, far surpassing that of ordinary people. It also led him to favor powerful and expansive Fist Techniques, which played to his strengths and was not a misguided approach.
Having reached the fourth layer of the Huayang Classic, the growth of True Qi had become increasingly difficult. However, he noticed some progress in the condensation of True Qi. Each time True Qi circulated for a full cycle, a small portion would condense further.
Throughout the year, Xunuo had consistently drawn a strand of True Qi from his Dantian and circulated it within his body according to the methods of the Huayang Classic before returning it to the Dantian. He repeated this process continuously.
Today, after completing a full cycle of True Qi circulation, Xunuo sensed the surging True Qi within his Dantian and suddenly had an inspired thought: what if he did not separate or cut off the True Qi but instead allowed it to flow continuously in a single line? Wouldn't that yield greater results with less effort?
Previously, when his True Qi was not substantial enough, this method would have been impractical. Now that his True Qi was abundant, this idea sparked in his mind.
Xunuo then drew out a portion of True Qi from his Dantian. He focused on two tasks at once: allowing the True Qi to circulate along its established path while simultaneously extracting it in an unbroken flow.
This dual focus slowed down the circulation of True Qi significantly. Fortunately, most of Xunuo's True Qi circulated through the Huayang Classic's cultivation method. He did not need to divide much of his Divine Sense for this; instead, he allocated part of it to ensure that this strand of True Qi remained unbroken while keeping most of his Divine Sense concentrated in the Dantian to facilitate its continuous extraction.
This was an extreme test for his Divine Sense.
Xunuo typically used his Divine Sense for exploration and spying; this was the first time he employed it for such meticulous work. Despite being stuck at a bottleneck with the Huayang Classic during this period, he had made remarkable progress with the Elixir Formula.
The first layer of the Elixir Formula is divided into five segments. Xunuo has currently cultivated to the second segment, having expanded the range of his Divine Sense significantly. Even so, he finds himself mentally exhausted from dividing his focus and meticulously controlling the Divine Sense.
After spending double the usual time, the flow of True Qi finally completed a full cycle within his body and returned to the Dantian. Meanwhile, the output of True Qi continued to flow out steadily. He had finally completed his initial concept. Now, he could only wait to see if this method would yield the desired results.
As the True Qi flow returned to the Dantian, it merged into the central mass of azure True Qi, which began to rotate slowly. However, the Mind Power extracting the True Qi flow gradually weakened. The True Qi flow circulated for about an hour before it ultimately broke off due to insufficient Divine Sense.
Xunuo sighed and probed within himself. He noticed that the True Qi in his Dantian felt denser and more refined than before. His Divine Sense was also much more agile than in the past. He felt a surge of joy and took a moment to admire his own genius.
Xunuo thought to himself that he was on the right path. The previous interruption in the True Qi flow occurred midway rather than at its source. This meant he should allocate more of his Divine Sense to guide and maintain the True Qi flow. Additionally, this was his first attempt at this method, and he feared that if he extracted too fine a stream of True Qi, it might lead to disconnection if its speed increased slightly.
After practicing once more, Xunuo discovered that his True Qi was far denser than he had anticipated. He could condense it two or three times more than before.
With this realization, Xunuo decided to continue cultivating using this method. This time, he thickened the True Qi flow significantly more than before. Then, during its operation, when he sensed that his Divine Sense could not fully maintain the True Qi's stability, he allocated a portion of his focus to support this segment of the True Qi flow while allowing the remaining Divine Sense to follow along with it.
As he reached the fourth segment of focus, Xunuo felt he had reached his limit. However, at that moment, the True Qi flow was just about to complete another cycle and enter the Dantian.
Xunuo evenly distributed his four segments of focus throughout the operation of the True Qi flow to maintain its stability. The portion of Divine Sense extracting True Qi became exceptionally strained because there was too much divided Divine Sense; he needed to control its output precisely according to the speed of the True Qi flow.
After a while, Xunuo sensed that on the output side of True Qi, his Divine Sense was struggling. Along the path of the True Qi flow, those few segments of Divine Sense were barely sufficient—there was no surplus available for outputting additional True Qi.
In a moment of desperation, Xunuo looked at the swirling mass of True Qi in his Dantian and came up with an idea: if he could continuously increase the flow of True Qi within himself, then this rotating mass in the Dantian would inevitably decrease. If he could increase the internal flow of True Qi until it matched that in Dantian, then pressure on his extracting Divine Sense would lessen. At that point, when the True Qi flowed back into Dantian and completed a rotation there, it could be directly drawn out. Some portions of Divine Sense could even be allocated to assist in maintaining this operation.
With this thought in mind, Xunuo began gradually increasing the flow of True Qi. It was a meticulous task requiring patience; he could only thicken it incrementally. He had to wait until this thickened stream returned to Dantian before calculating how much more could be increased based on what remained in that swirling mass of True Qi—so as not to overextend and cut off the source entirely, which would render all previous efforts futile.
However, after reinforcing the flow of True Qi two or three times, the pressure within the Dantian gradually decreased. It seemed that the flow of True Qi had formed a kind of inertia. Here, the Divine Sense only needed to create a constraining opening at the outlet of the True Qi flow. The returning True Qi would then be drawn out after completing a rotation within the Dantian.
Xunuo had an idea in mind. He slightly enlarged the outlet for outputting True Qi, and then enlarged it again. This was not because Xunuo was controlling the thickness of the True Qi flow inconsistently, but rather because the True Qi within his body was now operating at high speed.
In the past, when Xunuo practiced the Huayang Classic, this strand of True Qi within him moved slowly along the Meridian under the guidance of the Cultivation Method. Today, by converging the True Qi into a flow, he had the swirling True Qi in his Dantian as thrust, significantly increasing its speed. By now, the swirling True Qi in his Dantian and the True Qi flow in his body were nearly equal in thickness. Under this continuous inertial push, both were rotating at equal speeds. Thus, after a short while, Xunuo adjusted the thickness of the True Qi flow in his body to match that of the swirling True Qi in his Dantian.
At this point, Xunuo slightly loosened his control over the outlet for outputting True Qi in his Dantian. However, there was no excess True Qi to increase the flow even slightly. It continued to surge along this path of True Qi without interruption.
Xunuo knew that this method was finally working. He allocated most of his Divine Sense to maintain the flow of True Qi along its path to prevent any unexpected interruptions. Only a small portion of his Divine Sense remained in the Dantian to observe any changes in the swirling True Qi. At this moment, the speed of the True Qi flow within him surged far beyond its usual rate. The flesh and bones along its path thickened visibly, and there were cracking sounds from his tendons and bones. Each time the True Qi flowed through the Dantian, it thickened slightly more and took on a darker hue.
Next, Xunuo entered a realm as deep as an ocean, forgetting both himself and his surroundings.
It was unclear how much time had passed when suddenly, a segment of the True Qi flow split off from the outlet. Then, it rapidly turned back towards the Dantian, spinning within it like a whirlwind—much faster than usual. This mass of swirling True Qi changed from its original green color to a dark bronze hue.
After spinning increasingly faster for what felt like an entire meal's time, the entire mass of swirling True Qi and Dantian suddenly trembled violently. Then, astonishingly, it shrank by one-third in size and turned bronze in color. The swirling motion gradually slowed down.
At this moment, Xunuo opened his eyes wide and leaped up with a long howl. Without needing verification, he knew he had broken through the bottleneck and advanced to the fifth layer of Huayang Classic.
