Chapter 80: Cultivation Improvement

His hands were violently shaking due to the pain, he couldn't even sit down properly. He took a few deep breaths despite the pain. His body twitches uncontrollably as he tries to calm down.

Shen Yuan clutched his head again as he felt the pain intensifying, it nearly broke his mind but just then, his bloodline, which was dormant this whole time released an ethereal wave of energy that used the energy from Shen Yuan's dantian to make directly towards his soul.

Shen Yuan felt the pain lessen as his condition stabilized somewhat, but then the pain intensified as the qi vortexes that formed inside his Acupoints began gathering energy.

Shen Yuan felt his cultivation breakthrough from the first level of the Qi Refining Realm to the second level of the Qi Refining Realm, but he felt not a bit of happiness as he continued to feel the immense pain.

The other cultivators on his level never felt even a fraction of the pain he was feeling right now. The absolute majority of the technique's practitioners only managed to open 81 or 108 acupoints throughout their bodies and stopped at the first level of the Qi Refining realm to stabilize their foundation.

None of them were like Shen Yuan, who had an excess of Qi so much that it not only opened all 365 Acupoints but also filled them with Qi as he began breaking through the next level without stopping, and this blessing also became his curse as his suffering continued.

This wasn't supposed to happen, the pain was intended to occur only once during the process of opening the Acupoints, but since his meridians and dantian were filled with energy, it accelerated the cultivation process far beyond what any cultivator could have endured.

What Yue Lan didn't know was that, after opening each Acupoint, the cultivator needed to stabilize them and then open the next one.

It was a gradual process that should have taken far longer, but due to Shen Yuan's limited knowledge and the immense reserves of Qi he had in his dantian, it resulted in his current situation.

Shen Yuan's body, which was supposed to gradually turn into a vessel by opening the Acupoints, was forced to adapt to the extreme conditions, which put immense pressure on Shen Yuan's body, mind, and spirit, the pain was far beyond anyone on his level could endure, even higher levels cultivators would have wished for nothing but death.

Alas, Shen Yuan's condition didn't allow that as each time he was on the verge of collapse, his bloodline would send some nourishing energy towards his body and spirit to push him further.

This drove him to his limits, nearly breaking his mind as he slithered on the ground in extreme agony.

"Ahhh!!" Shen Yuan lets out another scream as the vortex reaches a fulfilling point, finishing the Second level of Qi refining Realm.

His bloodline also released another wave of gentle energy throughout his body and soul to make him relax, even if it was just for a single but as his cultivation surged once more.

Breaking through to the third level his entire body went through another change, making him suffer that much more as he finally gritted his teeth.

Now with much greater focus, he gritted his teeth as he tried to get up in a meditative state, but alas, he failed.

But the Qi which his bloodline pulled previously was too excess as it pushed his cultivation forward,

His body exploded with qi as he broke through to the 5th level of the Qi Refining Realm.

He didn't even have the time to make a single comment as he focused on steering his Qi toward the right path so as to not ruin his own body, he continued cultivating like a madman.

Forgetting oneself and the world around him as his sole purpose was to survive and improve, even the pain he was feeling seemed insignificant in front of his desire to survive and grow stronger.

His cultivation continued improving at a rapid pace as he finished refining his body again with Qi, getting both his meridians and Acupoints on the same level.

He soon reached the peak of the 5th level of the qi refining realm as his whole body was drenched in sweat, that soon evaporated due to the extreme heat his body was emitting.

Despite his body trembling, he took a deep breath for what was to come. He knew this wasn't the end of it due to how much energy his bloodline had sucked out from the Primordial Yin Essence.

The pressure from the qi continued to build up within his body as he took another deep breath and continued pushing himself further down the abysmal road.

His bloodline released another burst of nourishing qi, soothing his muscles and spirit. Before he could heave a sigh of relief something else happened.

He could feel that the breakthrough was imminent. The qi within him surged violently as he could feel that this breakthrough would be focused on the very qi inside his body.

He broke through to the 6th level of the Qi refining realm. Increasing the quality of his Qi as the focus on this level became his Qi.

Yue Lan looked from the side and heaved a sigh of relief as she saw that everything was under Shen Yuan's control, now as long as his spirit don't break under the extreme pain, his future will be limitless.

Shen Yuan performed the Primordial Vessel Cultivation Art manually to slow down the process, even if by a single bit as he couldn't let it go out of control any longer.

The qi became purer as the color of it changed from a lighter shade to a darker shade. This improvement might seem minor but collectively it is a sight to behold.

He could now feel the benefit of cultivating the Chaos Body Forging Technique, if he hadn't cultivated that technique then his body would have collapsed from the enormous pressure that was put on it from the Primordial Vessel Cultivation Art.

A normal cultivator could have never cultivated this art even if someone gave it to them, it was nothing but a death sentence.
