"It's been a year, and I've pretty much figured out the Qi Refinement Dao. It's about time to start breaking through. Let's do it in one go!" Zhou Tong sat cross-legged next to the pool in his small room.
The pool was already filled with over a thousand kilograms of liquefied essence. This faint green essence, which contained an endless amount of life force, was the accumulation of the past year.
According to the formation Zhou Tong had set up here, a year should've only produced about three hundred kilograms of liquefied essence. But in the past year, Zhou Tong had thoroughly researched the Dao of Formations, and had improved the Spirit Gathering Formation here long ago. It had more than doubled the scope of the Spirit Gathering Formation, and its efficiency of producing liquefied essence had increased threefold.
Only then had he accumulated over a thousand kilograms.
"Let's start breaking through!" Zhou Tong sat down cross-legged and slowly adjusted the true essence in his dantian.
"Crash!!"
Golden-red true essence surged like a blazing sea of fire. Zhou Tong mobilized it and gathered it madly.
This was the fire-attribute true essence cultivated from the Book of Immortal Immolation. This technique was one of the top Qi Refinement techniques in the Three Realms. Whether in terms of quantity or quality, the true essence cultivated from it far surpassed that of other techniques.
Zhou Tong opened his mouth and inhaled. Immediately, a stream of liquefied essence filled with life force entered his body.
"Rumble!!"
In a split second, the liquefied essence in his dantian was immediately assimilated by the true essence cultivated from the Book of Immortal Immolation. Then, it rapidly merged with his original true essence.
His true essence, which was already at the limit of the Xiantian realm, once again received such enormous support and reached its limit. All of his true essence began to crazily compress, and a terrifying pressure appeared in his dantian.
Now, his dantian was like a ball of extremely compressed flame. It was incomparably hot, and on the verge of exploding.
"Again!" Zhou Tong opened his mouth again and inhaled, once again refining several kilograms of liquefied essence.
His Xiantian true essence, which had already reached its limit, once again reached its limit, and then exploded with a boom.
"Rumble!!"
It was as if Pangu had split the heavens and the earth. His dantian, which had long since reached its limit, suddenly exploded.
At this moment, Zhou Tong, who was sitting cross-legged beside the pool, began to burn with a large amount of flames. The flames seemed to come from his pores and skin.
"This feeling?!" Zhou Tong seemed to be touched. His whole mind fell into an inexplicable state.
The creation of any cultivation method contained a corresponding Dao. Every breakthrough was a trigger to the "Dao", which could naturally lead the cultivator to have a comprehension of the corresponding Dao of the cultivation method.
Of course, this was only 'guidance'. Whether one could truly fall into the state of Dao Comprehension depended on the cultivator himself.
The 'Immortal Burning Book' that Zhou Tong cultivated was created by the first Golden Crow that was born on the Sun Star after the creation of the Heavens and Earth. The True Essence cultivated by this cultivation method was scorching hot and the Yang energy soared to the heavens. It corresponded to the Dao of Pure Yang and the Dao of Fire.
Currently, Zhou Tong was in a state of enlightenment. It was a completely new understanding of the Dao of Fire.
He quietly sat here for seven days. Finally, he slowly came out of the state of enlightenment.
"So that's how it is. The Dao of Fire is getting stronger and stronger … I guess my Dao of Fire is very close to the so-called 'Heavenly Dao of Fire'!" Zhou Tong was neither sad nor happy.
In fact, he didn't know how strong his understanding of the Dao had become in the past year. This was because he himself had been cultivating according to his heart all these years. He didn't deliberately cultivate any particular Dao.
However, the comprehension he gained at this moment allowed him to realize that he was already very close to the Heavenly Dao in the Dao of Fire.
"But now, the Purple Palace has been formed!" Zhou Tong looked inside his dantian.
The original location of the Dantian had turned into a boundless void world, and the void was filled with an endless amount of Purple Qi. This was a place that existed between the void and reality, and this was the so called Purple Palace.
Every cultivator's Purple Palace was basically the same. But as to how far one could train in it, that would depend on one's own fate.
"The mysteries of the Zifu Palace … I've long since completely comprehended them in the past year. I don't have much time to waste. Let's continue to break through!" This time, Zhou Tong was preparing to break through to the Wanxiang level in one go.
This was because during this year, he had already settled down sufficiently.
If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have been able to do all this in a year. But Zhou Tong was different.
"Suck!"
Zhou Tong opened his mouth and sucked. Instantly, a large amount of liquefied elemental essence flew out of the pool and was swallowed by him.
The liquefied elemental essence entered his body, instantly transforming into an enormous amount of elemental energy that charged directly into his Purple Palace.
"Crash!"
Within his Purple Palace, there had originally been a golden-red lake that had been lying there peacefully. But soon, as an enormous amount of elemental energy entered, the entire lake began to boil and rapidly expand.
The blazing lake continued to boil like magma, expanding the width and depth of the lake.
"Rumble!!"
A massive sound rang out. In the air above the golden-red lake, at the very center of the entire Purple Palace, a golden-red 'pearl' suddenly appeared. It was like a sun, constantly emitting light and heat. This light and heat was quickly absorbed by the lake below, transforming into brand new elemental energy.
This was the source of elemental energy formed by training in the [Book of Immortal Immolation]!
"The middle Zifu stage. Continue!" Zhou Tong didn't stop, continuing to absorb and refine the liquefied elemental essence.
"Rumble!!"
After reaching the middle Zifu stage, the elemental energy within Zhou Tong's body was many times more powerful than before. Naturally, the speed at which he absorbed and refined the liquefied elemental essence was many times more powerful than before. After being transformed, the light and heat emitted from the 'sun' in the center of his Purple Palace became even purer and more vast.
In just a short period of time, the golden-red lake within his Purple Palace expanded once more. Its depth, width, and purity were all far greater than before.
"The late stage of the Zifu stage. Continue!" Zhou Tong still didn't stop.
The Zifu stage was actually a process of accumulation. So long as a cultivator's comprehension of the Dao reached a certain level and had sufficient resources, they would be able to break through in one go. Thus, Zhou Tong wasn't prepared to spend too much time on this stage.
The liquefied elemental essence that Zhou Tong had accumulated in this year was for this purpose.
"Rumble!"
The lake of elemental energy within his Purple Palace was still boiling, and even raging waves had been set off. Especially the 'sun' in the center of his Purple Palace, its temperature was even higher than before.
Naturally, the elemental energy that Zhou Tong produced from refining the liquefied elemental essence was even purer.
"Rumble!!"
Two hours later, along with another tremor in the space of his Purple Palace, the originally vast lake of elemental energy transformed once more, and the purity and quantity of the elemental energy soared once more.
"This is the peak stage of the Zifu stage!" Zhou Tong looked within himself. He saw that the elemental energy accumulated within his Purple Palace had already reached the peak in terms of 'quality.' He was only lacking 'quantity' from breaking through to a higher level.
